No image for some photos

Hi,
I think this may be because I have moved the location of them but for a couple of rolls I just have a blank square with grey lines around the edge. I can see the image if I open it in full screen but it does not appear in the smaller version. Please help? x

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If rebuilding doesn't resurrect the library you'll have to start with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old one like this:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the iPhoto library folder from the desktop. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Turning off "Ken Burns" effect for SOME photos

    I see that someone has asked a similar question in the past and told that it's not possible to turn off the Ken Burns effect for some photos, but I'm hoping someone has a workaround or there's a hack...
    I've made a slideshow and got the idea to "tell the story" by creating some "title" images in Photoshop elements which I've placed in between a series of photos.
    These are just black backgrounds with the title (e.g. "...and the party begins", "Family reunion" etc.) in big white letters. I'm very happy with that idea
    I like the Ken Burns effect for the slideshow as it adds some semi-video "action" effect, but NOT on the titles. Having the Ken Burns effect there just looks stupid, so I would like to remove it for the titles alone.
    I know I can do it the other way round (go to "Settings" for the Slideshow, deselect "Automatic Ken Burns effect", then manually add the effect for all the photos I want), but with a slideshow album that's going to take ages to do!!
    Is there a better way?

    Perhaps you're checking the KB button on the "main" menu for the slideshow. That actually changes only the setting for the image that is currently selected. Try using the "Settings" button and deselect the "Automatic KB effect."

  • Contact sheet caption missing for some photos

    I made a contact sheet from a selection of photos and for some reason, the one metadata field I selected to output with each image, the IPTC caption field, is included in some but not all photos: the specific photo I wanted did not have the caption output. (It is a JPG file.)
    The caption is rather long (27 lines, 517 characters), but that should not be a problem.
    Any ideas why some image's caption field is not coming out on the contact sheet?
    Regards,
    Strathglass

    No one have any idea why captions for some photos do NOT appear on my contact sheets?

  • Can't Use Batch Rename "Rename In Same Folder" for some photos

    Have a strange problem: when using "Batch Rename…" under the "Tools" menu, "Rename In Same Folder" is unusable for some photos taken with some cameras, not for others. For one example, I shift-selected a range of photos taken at a recent vacation, some with my iPhone, some with my girlfriend's Canon PowerShot SD450. Bridge renamed the iPhone photos, but not Canon photos. For another example, if I select a single photo taken by her cell phone or Canon camera, "Rename In Same Folder" is grayed-out; if I select a single photo taken my by iPhone, not so. Does anyone understand this behavior, and is there a solution?

    Bridge Support Center in the help menu leads to a 404 error page.
    Sadly enough this is also on my system (Mac OSX 10.6.8) It should not be showing 404 but it is there...
    What Bridge help files and links, forums, communities, google searches do not do is tell you how to fix what happens with the problem
    In general restarting Bridge holding down option key (in your case alt key) to choose reset preferences solves most problems.
    Here is a page from Adobe Support about Troubleshooting (although this states you should combine option/alt with cmd/ctrl but that is not needed)
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317912.html
    I want to use Bridge batch rename to change jpegs into Mac PC compatible jpegs.
    Although I have the option for compatibility with Unix and Windows checked in my customized presets I'm not really aware of the need for that. If you have a .JPG or .jpg extension as the extension a Mac reeds and opens the file without problems. I am aware that as a Mac user I had the need to take care of Windows files in the past. Before OSX a Mac did not need an extension to recognize and open a file. Since OSX is Unix based the need to use an extension is there and also you should only use one dot (.) in the filename and that is before the extension at the end of the filename. Using spaces, commas etc is possible but not prefered. In basic, keep it simple (and short) and the file will open on all systems without problems.
    When you select a preset, the rename and preview buttons grey out. So I start all over...clear cache, check file permissions, restart/shutdown, etc
    That should not happen, presets and batch rename should be always available, even if you have only one file selected. You should start with the refreshing of the preferences. Deleting caches and checking file permissions are not needed every time for clearing prefs (although it is wise to maintain your system on a regular basis, but that is good for the use of all apps).
    On a Mac the user defined Batch Rename settings are saved in the user library / application support / Adobe/ Bridge CS5 / Batch rename setting. (not a single clue how that translate to windows but I have no reason to believe that such a file should not be present on your system.)
    Enter the term "batch rename" in the windows Bridge forum search and I got....ZERO results.
    Well, again a disappointment, there will be many result available in both Windows and Mac forum but it sure is not easy to find them
    The forum search option is next to useless. I believe you should try to switch to the main forum page or something, I once had a result but after so many tries I forgot how I managed this (combined with getting angrier every try...)
    I could really use some help because there is no way I can convert the number of files I have to make them compatible in MACs
    As stated before, if the are .jpg they are already compatible
    it used to be in CS 3 and 4 but since I "upgraded" to Production Premium suite 5.5 none of the version work.
    If you keep having problems you might consider the clean tool option to clear PSCS 3 and 4. Check also this KB article:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    It should be possible to use all CS versions on your system but you can have only one version of Bridge active at the time. Upgrading from a single CS to a Suite should also be possible without problems but sadly enough everything that should be possible without problems is often only happening in the ideal world...

  • RAW JPEG PROBLEM  I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto).  Now I have two images for each photo.  Help!!  How can I change this?

    I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto).  Now I have two images for each photo.  Help!!  How can I change this?

    How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
    Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture.  What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

  • Known Issue: "DNS server could not be reached" when creating or updating a RemoteApp collection using template images for some locales

    When trying to create or update Azure RemoteApp collections that use a template image for some non-EN-US locales, it might fail with error "DNS server could not be reached". You might also see error code "DnsNotReachable". 

    Cause:  There was a issue in Azure in which decimal punctuation was not treated properly if the locale of the template image used a comma (,) instead of a period (.).
    Workaround:  Before a fix was applied, the workaround was to use template images based on a locale that uses a period to delimit decimals, such as EN-US.
    Resolution:  As of March 19, 2015, a fix for this issue has been applied to Azure. You should once again be able to create collections from template images that use non-EN-US locales. If you continue to have this problem, please
    try the workaround. If that works and the only difference in the template images is the locale, please email remoteappforum (at Microsoft). If the workaround does not work, the issue is likely caused by a DNS configuration issue such as:
    No valid forwarders to public DNS servers configured on your internal DNS server(s).
    A valid internal DNS server is not specified on your Azure RemoteApp VNet.
    A VNet or internal network configuration issue is preventing the internal DNS servers from be reached by the VMs in the RemoteApp collection.

  • Master Images Unavailable for Some Photos

    I have permanently deleted some photos that either I've done edits on and prefer the edits, or just poor photos. However, I've now ended up in a situation where when I publish an album to MobileMe or AppleTV, Aperture seems to want to access these deleted masters. I didn't like them, hence the deletion, how can I find what it is that is referencing the deleted masters?

    Manage Referenced Files Option allowed me to find which preview Aperture could not find the master for. I had not appreciated that the default view in Aperture shows you unrated or better photos, which means photos you mark as rating 9 or X are not shown - so when you copy/move photos around you do it without touching the 9 or X photos. In reorganising photos I managed to delete masters because of this view setting but still have versions derived from them.

  • IMovie to iDVD shimmering problem on DVD for some photos

    Created iMovie with photos and some video. Created DVD. DVD on Mac shows shimmering on some photos as well as on TV DVD player. Have asked many trainers in London Covent Garden and Regent St for solution. The answers are not consistant just try different things. They also mention other products, Toast, Final Cut and FotoMagic. Is there a definitive way to make sure the iMovies can be created without shimmering (many snow, sunshine scenes). Or product that fixes problem. Thanks in advance. Don't want to buy product and still have problem.

  • Troubleshoot Main Image for spry photo gallery

    Hello, I am modifying some spry files to see if I can get the
    hang of it using my images. I have taken the photo gallery files
    gallery.js
    SpryData.js
    SpryEffects.js
    xpath.js
    The folder structure contains images and thumbnails on the
    root folder as well as the ap.css sheet and photos.xml
    The page is
    http://www.proximita.com/learning/index.html.
    Since I only have 1 photo gallery (and I did the getting
    started tutorial and worked fine I wanted to add the slideshow
    effect in the spry demo functionality) I only have one xml doc and,
    as mentioned, the both image folders and the css sheet are on the
    root, and the all the js files are in an includes folder.
    The thumbnails show up fine, but, the main image does not
    show up at all. I am almost sure this is a bad reference somewhere
    or a begginners mistake but I cant find it.
    I did modify the gallery.js because it referenced 2 or three
    variables (like dsPhotos and dsGalleries that are used for the demo
    I only have dsGallery) and I cahnged all of the other refrences to
    dsGallery.
    I think I am having problems here:
    function ShowCurrentImage()
    var curRow = dsPhotos.getCurrentRow();
    SetMainImage("galleries/" +
    dsGalleries.getCurrentRow()["@base"] + "images/" + curRow["@path"],
    curRow["@width"], curRow["@height"], "tn" + curRow["ds_RowID"]);
    you can check out the whole code here:
    http://proximita.com/learning/includes/gallery.js
    Im unconcerned with appearance for the moment, and would just
    like to see the main image and the slideshow functionality.
    If you can help, please do. Thanks, Mario.

    yes, I suspect that is because the tutorial talks about
    building this from scratch and uses that name for the "thumbnails"
    div rather than what they actually use in the demo files...
    confusing, to say the least.
    It would be nice if there were a simple document with demo
    files that didn't include other stuff unrelated to JUST the slide
    show (gallery)... and if the whole layout were more simple,
    css-layout-wise...
    or, if the demo files were commented with what each bit is
    for and how to modify it.

    ID of the container that holds the thumbnails (it was called:
    "thumbnails". now it's "thumbContainer").
    You need to open gallery.js and change the observer to point
    to the new container:
    Change
    Spry.Data.Region.addObserver("thumbnails", function(nType,
    notifier, data) {
    To

  • Organizing images for a photo album (to be printed) not working as expected

    I am trying to create a group of selects from a vacation from which I will print 40 non-snorkeling photos to put in a physical photo album. Here’s what I’m doing:
    Created project Hawaii, imported about 400 images.
    Created keywords "Hawaii", “Snorkeling Trip” and “Everything Else”
    Created Smart Album “Land and Air” with keywords “Hawaii” and “Everything Else”
    Created Smart Album “Snorkeling Trip” with keywords “Hawaii” and “Snorkeling Trip”
    Created empty Album “Photo Album”
    At this point I have about 400 images in the project Hawaii, 350 in Smart Album “Land and Air” and 50 in Smart Album “Snorkeling Trip”. So far everything is working as expected.
    Next I selected the Smart Album “Land and Air”, switched to the Ratings & Keywords view, walked through all images and found 40 to rate 5-stars. I also cropped and made some adjustments.
    Next I re-arranged these 40 selects to an order that better depicts a story. Note: At this point the sort field indicates “Custom” as expected.
    Next I dragged these 40 selects into empty Album “Photo Album”. This is where the problems begin:
    In the Album "Photo Album", the sort order changed to “Image Date” and “Custom” is now grayed out. I can not change the order of the images.
    All of these images are “- version 2”. If I click on the Smart Album “Land and Air” these 40 “- version 2” images appear there, too, in addition to the ones that are already there. I.E. There are 40 more images in “Land and Air”, 40 of the original images and 40 of “- version 2”. Interestingly, the originals and “- version 2” images are identical – they are both cropped and adjusted.
    I’m confused as to why there are “- version 2” images when they are the same (with crops and adjustments) as version "1”. What I expected was to just have the 40 images I selected out and arranged in the Album “Photo Album” and the original 40 in Smart Album “Land and Air” not duplicated and would (or perhaps would not?) reflect the crops and adjustments, and keywording.
    How should I be doing this? What am I doing wrong?

  • Image Attachment instead of embedded image (for sending photos)

    Hi,
    Is there a way to make mail send photos as an attachment rather than as an embedded image in the email? My colleagues are using Lotus Notes at work. Everytime I send them photos, they complain to me that they are having a hard time downloading the pictures 'coz they cannot simply click on it and save.
    thanks,
    zurc

    zurc,
    I sent mail in text-only format and put attachments at the very end of the message. I think photos and images are shown inline when send in a message in formatted-text format.
    Putting the files at the very end of the message prevents the mail being "split up" in several parts (body, photo attachment, and signature as attachment) which is also annoying for Windows users.
    I have to admit that I don't know if this works with Lotus Notes, but you could give it a try.

  • Apple Mail - Load images for some email addresses automatically

    Is it possible in Apple Mail to put some email addresses on a white list so that the images within their emails always load?
    I don't want all images to load for every email I get, but I find it an annoyance to have to often load images from contacts I already trust.

    AppleScript to the rescue!  Thank you Linc Davis!!!
    Still find it strange Apple doesn't have this built into the Mail interface as an option and have to run a script [grumble].

  • I keep getting the same preview image for multiple photos

    In my iPhoto Library and some of my folders the same preview image is showing for many of my images. When I enlarge or export those images or folders the correct image shows. Any ideas what is messing with the preview?
    Thanks.

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Not allowed to change date and time for some photos; why?

    I have some images that I scanned in of old photos.  I'm trying to change the date and time and location to reflect the time the original photo was taken.  I know how to do it in the menu system, but when I try to change the original data it tells me they are of a file type that won't allow this metadata to be changed.  They are simple JPEG's so I'm not sure what the problem is.  Do I need to convert it to some other format first to be able to do this?  Any ideas would be helpful...

    Hello Toran,
    are trying to change the date and time of the versions only, or are you trying to change the date and time of the masters too? If you are using
         Meta Data -> change date and time
    deselect "also change master file", this causes the problem, the new Aperture version seems not to allow to change the date and time of masters.
    There have been long discussions on this problem, see e.g. this thread; I do not know if somebody has found a solution by now,
    Regards, Léonie

  • Delete button for some photos in the moments tab is disabled

    Several of my photos after the ios8 update are unable to be deleted. I select them but the trash button is disabled. If I open them individually the trash button is not there in the bottom right. Please help. very annoying.

    Those are usually photos that were synced to your device from your computer using iTunes.  They can only be removed by syncing them off again.  Either uncheck the entire folder (windows) or event (iPhoto on a Mac) that they belong to and sync again to remove all the photos from the folder/event.  If you only want to delete some but not all of them, delete them from the folder/event on your computer and sync again and those photos will be removed.
