No Thumbnails, no fullscreen mode

Apart from the fact that it is practically impossible to empty the iPhoto trash (I've tried each and any piece of advice suggested here) sometimes fullscreen mode is suddenly no longer available for some pictures (although it was the day before) so that I only see grey blank squares. Another interesting little feature if iPhoto 6.0.4 is the fact that some pictures suddenly show up as ghosts in the thumbnail view (i.e. I only see black squares). The comments, however, are still there. I can of course re-import the pics, but doing this a couple of times really annoys me.
Is there any way to make iPhoto 6.0.4 behave and cooperate?

1. The important thing is that your originals are safe. If you have any doubts, back them up to your external hard disk. Whatever about iPhoto, the pics are most important.
2. Given that you have tried to re-build the database with no luck, plus tried to restore it from back up (it's likely that the backup is of your corrupted file by now) and that none of these have worked, would you consider trashing iPhoto and it's associated files and starting over with a re-install? This would allow you to begin again, and allow you to build and review your library as you recreate it. It's possible that this problem is caused by a corrupt jpeg file, or even a faulty installation of iPhoto.
3. If you do conside this option, I can only re-emphasise BACK UP YOUR ORIGINALS in a folder away from iPhoto, and away from the Library folder.
If you need help with this option - which files etc. to trash - feel free to ask.

  • My own built fullscreen mode flv player is not working in Mac OS

    I built a flv player, it is just a normal video player with a
    fullscreen mode.
    The video player is work fine in Window IE, FF, and Safari.
    But not not working in Mac OS X, leopard & tiger &
    May I know what might cause this problem?
    I m usng action script 3, flash cs3 & all my browsers
    already upgrade to latest version of Flash Player.
    Help!!!

    I am running Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite and iPhoto Version 9.6 (910.29). Automatic updates in the Mac App Store is turned on for my iMac and it shows no updates available. I was told directly by Apple Support on the date that I wrote this article (Nov 8, 2014) that there were no Canon drivers and photo transfer software that worked with Yosemite. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution. At that time I was running Mac OS X 10.10 (because the 10.10.1 update was not yet available) and the most up-to-date version of iPhoto for Mac OS X 10.10 that was available at that time, at least per the Mac App Store. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution.
    With the Mac OS X 10.10.1 update if the camera is in PTP communications mode the thumbnails now appear in the Import screen in iPhoto almost immediately. If the camera is returned to Normal communications mode; however, it takes forever for the thumbnails to appear. I have been waiting 10 minutes and iPhoto has generated only 14 thumbnails. So it appears that there is still something not working properly between the original Canon EOS Digital Rebel and Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 when the communications mode on the camera is set to Normal.

  • How to I get iPhoto to stop opening in fullscreen mode?

    Every time I open iPhoto, it opens in fullscreen mode. It's as if there is a setting that has been set for it to do it(though I've checked the settings and there's no such thing). I usually exit fullscreen mode in the usual way and it cooperates, but then sure enough, the next time I open it up, it's in fullscreen mode again. Additionally, perhaps it is linked to this problem, everytime I open iPhoto, it tells me that "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your[my] library" and that I should "click Repair to avoid any potential problems". I've clicked repair numerous times but it still gives me the same message the next time I start the program. I've tried deleting the iPhoto plist file and that has not helped either.
    Another side note that may be similar is that Terminal always opens in fullscreen just like iPhoto.

    Alright, I fixed the problem!
    A more in depth description of the process, some credit for its origins, why it works, and how else you can use it can be found here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17269094#17269094
    But basically, you do the following:
    1. Navigate to "~/Library/Saved Application State/"
    2. Find "com.apple.iPhoto.savedState"
    3. Move it to the Trash
    4. Launch iPhoto
    Also, to solve the issue involving "Repairing" the Library, I had to navigate to the file "iPhoto library" (in ~/Users/dro8654/Pictures) and edit its "Sharing & Permissions" preferences such that only MY user was allowed to "Read & Write"
    This discussion was what helped me with this:

  • Is there a quick way to open a resident video in fullscreen mode?

    Short and not-so-simple, I have a client who requires the following:
    Starting from the home screen, he wants the shortest number of taps to open a video (resident on the device) in fullscreen mode. Ideally, I wanted to have a "shortcut" on his home screen that opens a directory on his iPad that contains videos. Unfortunately, iOS does not allow for this. In fact, finding resident files on the HDD at all doesn't seem so easy.
    For now, I have him going to his camera, switching to video, and then opening the Video Roll to access videos I've downloaded to his iPad from various sources like email attachments or download links. This is definitely not a long-term solution.
    To clarify, the client needs to be able to bring up one of several videos near-instantly, with no buffering and in many cases without an active internet connection. He wants his iPad to be a video gallery, with "a two-click process." Someone (such as myself) would be syncing/uploading the videos as they are created, updated, or replaced, so getting videos onto his iPad easily and remotely (if possible) is also a desire (Dropbox or iTunes?).
    Can someone please give me some advice? I am an idiot with iOS, as I spend all of my time on Android devices.

    Is this a cpvc or a cptx file, when you talk about 'video'?

  • Is there any way to get the black background color back in fullscreen mode?

    The current background color in fullscreen mode is grey and it's distracting.  It used to be black.  Is there a way to change the color outside of the document boundaries?

    The only way you can get themes for your ipod is by a jailbrake, jailbraking is illegal, and yes,, you can downgrade your iOS.
    Jailbreaking is actually not illegal due to exemptions in the DMCA documentation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking#cite_note-22).
    I've got no explanation on to why the trusty interface for the old iPod style app was butchered, unfortunately (I think we're all at a loss, besides someone being given too much free reign). I came here to supplement the original question with, another alternative question:
    Is there a way, similar to downgrading 3rd party apps, downgrade the Music app or restore the old iPod app as an additonal app? Without jailbreaking?

I've got a 46" and 36" but this problem appear on both.
    I want to see my movie on FullScreen mode not only 2/3

    So is there any option or anything to do to enable FullScreen mode for my video ... do I have to convert my DivX in an other format ?

  • When in fullscreen mode, bottom of Firefox window ends where Windows Taskbar would be, were it not in autohide mode.

    Firefox version: 4
    Windows Version: XP-SP3 (automatic updates)
    My Windows Taskbar is in autohide mode.
    When I launch Firefox in windowed mode and maximize the window, it takes up the entire screen.
    When I move my mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen, the Windows Taskbar pops up.
    When I select Fullscreen mode in Firefox, the top of the window behaves as it should: Menus disappear, and the toolbar area autohides, reappearing when I move my mouse pointer to the top of the screen.
    The bottom of the Firefox window, however, jumps up to where it would be if the Windows Taskbar were not in autohide mode, leaving a black space. While I can move my cursor over this black space, when I reach the bottom of the screen, the Windows taskbar will not unhide, forcing me to use the Windows button if I want to execute some other command.
    If I minimize the Firefox window, then select it from the taskbar, it returns to fullsceen mode and takes up the entire screen (no more black space), but I still cannot get the Windows Taskbar to pop up by moving my cursor to the bottom of the screen.
    While it may seem nit-picky, this is a dealbraker for me. I set Firefox to run in Fullscreen mode, and expect it to do so properly, without having to go through all of these steps. Furthermore, since I use Windows Start button for everything (my desktop has nothing on it but the Recycle Bin), I often use it while browsing (launching other applications, using the Control Panel, or looking through filesystem, among others).
    I am extremely pleased with all other aspects of the browser, right down to the toolbar area not disappearing when my mouse pointer happens to slide off of it after I place my cursor in the search box, and while I would be sad to lose all of these improvements, I will return to Version 3 if I must.
    Thank you very much for your time.

    I'm sorry, it seems I spoke too soon. The original problem is back: Black stripe at the bottom of the screen. :-(

  • In fullscreen mode, is there a way to prevent the page from shifting down when displaying the menu and tabs?

    In fullscreen mode (F11), when moving the mouse toward the top of the screen to display the tabs & stuff, the page displayed is shifted down. This makes it annoying when returning down with the mouse - you want to reach a certain link, for example, but your target gets shifted up once the tabs & stuff is hidden back.
    Is there any way to make the tabs & stuff display 'above' the page content, like on another layer?

    Is it the web page display that is changing its own position, or is it something
    about the toolbars that is pushing the page down? I have the same issue with
    my browser using an add-on to show a multiple line bookmark bar.

  • Buttons not working in fullscreen mode

    Hi everyone,
         I have a site where our Flash content can be sent to fullscreen by the user. When in fullscreen mode, in some computers the buttons within the content and the mouse stop working completely. It still exits from fullscreen by clicking the escape buttons.
    I have a Win XP computer where it works in Firefox and IE but won't work within Chrome. They both have the latest player installed.
    I have a Windows Vista where it does not work in any browser.
    On a Linux box (version 10,1,53,64) it works on any browser.
    On another Win XP computer with version 10.0.45.2 it works with any browsers.
    On some Macs it works, on some it doesn't.
    The swf file was produced with Flash CS3.
    Any ideas?

    For that matter, the "return to menu" which is set to a Main button type, isn't working either.  that is one of the three.  After i had removed the damaged button and copied it from another it worked.  Then i simply edited the text of a different button (mind you one that still works) and the "return to menu" quit along with the bottom 2 buttons.  I just can't figure it out.  I have shut the app down and restarted and nothing seems to be working

  • Macbook pro retina and Fullscreen mode freeze

    Hi
    I cant get fullscreen playing in FCP 7 on Macbook pro retina mid 2012 running 10.8.3mountain lion
    It wil show only a stil image and not play the video live.
    This happens on the macbook, and on external monitor, in all display settings available in fcp7. It worked some months ago thou... may there be a osx problem?
    Can I go back to earlier osx?
    Anyone using 10.8.3, retina, and can do fullscreen mode?

    What format sources and what are your sequence settings?  I seem to remember that some non-standard formats will not play in full screen mode.
    Also, you might try deleting your preferences.  I strongly recommend using digital rebellion's preference manager to back up, trash and restore fcp and many other apps preferences.

  • Slow Gaming in Fullscreen mode

    I have a MacBook Pro Early 2011.
    Specs:
    ATI 6750m
    OS X Lion 10.7.3
    I am having some issue regarding playing games in Fullscreen mode. I recently purchased Batman and Trine/(2).
    Problem is when I play in Fullscreen mode, gameplay is horrible. Very choppy.
    If I play on Window mode, gameplay is fantastic.
    I also tried to use external monitor. Same issue.
    Playing in bootcamp either in fullscreen or window is great.
    Anyone experiencing this issue?
    I want to play on fullscreen mode.
    Please help.

    Regarding the alpha thing: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=406&thread=535269&tstart=15&trange=15
    And regarding the scale thing you can use:
    Graphics.drawImage(Image img, int dx1, int dy1, int dx2, int dy2, int sx1, int sy1, int sx2, int sy2, ImageObserver observer)
    "Draws as much of the specified area of the specified image as is currently available, scaling it on the fly to fit inside the specified area of the destination drawable surface."

  • Is there a option to allow firefox to work better with other aplication in fullscreen mode, becouse in present FF force other app to hide
