Only some pictures have preview images in 'Years' view

Has anyone else encountered a problem where many pictures have a preview image, but no matter how long you leave Photos running, some pictures' preview image is just a grey square? Is there any way to manually make Photos go through and build preview images for every photo?

What the heck happened to your auto-sync enable button! - is this some difference in Mac vs. Windows or something .

Maybe you'll have to use the Metadata menu to enable metadata auto-sync, e.g.

Yes I totally am! But sometimes keeping it simple (like using collections instead) gets the job done.
Well, only you can determine if it's worth your while - not sure what to say...

If you have multiple monitors, display the grid on the other monitor (see Window menu)

HT201077 I am a new iphone 5 user and set it up to use icloud to store pictures, etc. I set up my home computer afterwards, but only some pictures are on the icloud. How do I view the rest of my pictures on my home computer? Where are they stored?

Only some of my pictures are on iCloud that are currently stored on my phone. Where are the others? Why aren't all the pictures from my iPhone showing in the iCloud? I can't find the pictures I saved from my ipodtouch, either....

Only some pictures are uploading from icloud

I recently replaced my old iPhone (the top button had been stuck) and when I got my new phone, all the pictures I had from my photostream had been uploaded onto my phone. Recently this new phone has been glitching and all my pictures have been deleted. When I went to my photostream all those pictures were gone. I turned it on/off on icloud and only 52 pictures came back. I restarted the phone and same thing happened. I don't know what's happening.

What you may not realize it that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days, even though they remain on your device until deleted. When turn turned of photo stream, then turn it back on you only got the photos that were added in the last 30 days as the others are no longer there.
If the other photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up your phone, restoring the entire backup would recover the photos.
To keep your photos, always import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. This will import camera roll photos. You can save your photo stream photos to your camera roll so they are imported to by tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

Have an image in vertical view

has anyone found a solution for this? image in horizontal view are shown but turned vertical disapear.

The solution is to turn the image into a widget. Just go to Info, widget pane (last pane) and add title or caption - the image will become a widget.
Widgets will show up fine on the left side in portrait mode.

IPhoto sync's only some pictures from iPhone

Hi,
I'm using iPhoto 9.6 and a iPhone 6 with 8.1.
I have about 600 pictures on my iPhone and 0 in my iPhoto library. When I connect the iPhone to the MAC, iPhoto only allows me to import 95 of the pictures.
How can I import all 600 pictures from the iPhone to iPhoto?

Have the missing photos been taken on the iPhone or have they been synced to the iPhone? If they have been synced to to iPhone using iTunes, you cannot download them using USB. Mail them to your Mac or share them to a Photo Stream. You can only download photos using a USB connection that are in the Camera Roll.

Some pictures have a red "X" in them

Hi there,
I searched for a while on this topic, but couldn't quite get the answer I'm looking for.
When viewing my website using Internet Explorer, some (not all) pictures appear with a red "X" in them. It seems strange to me that most of the pictures post properly, and that this issue doesn't happen with them all.
I know what some of you are thinking, IE is old and you prefer Firefox or other options. Since I'm using this as a business site, I'm hoping to figure out a way to make it work o.k. when viewed by IE. I have also attempted using other web software such as DreamWeaver, but that's way over my head and I simply don't have the time (or motivation) to learn it. Is there any way to make iWeb's pictures to work well with IE?
My website I'm referring to is www.GoAheadTakeTheWheel.com . An example of what I'm talking about exists on the home page below the yellow book cover.
Thanks for your help!
Dave

Hmmm. I originally took the photo and saved it as a .jpg. From what I understand, iWeb converts it to a png, no?
This same issue is also happening with some text boxes. The one on my home page is a png, but I do not know how to change it to a jpg or even if that's possible.
I'm so not programming savy, so bear with me a bit here.

Only some pictures transfer to Ipod

I have been trying to transfer 6 pictures from a folder on my HD and only 3 will transfer. I have reduced the resolution of the pictures below 90KB's. They were originally 616KB, 645KB and 2.23MB. Resolution was reduced using PhotoSuite 10.

Unplug it, restarting your computer, and then plug it back in again. Does that help?

Why can only some machines see netboot images at the startup screen?

I have a 10.6.6 server running as a netboot server. I have about 10 images running on the server that consist of a 10.6.6 and 10.5.8 triage partition and a 10.6.6 and 10.5.8 restore image. Now what I have noticed is that newer machines after starting up and holding down the option key will see all the available images.But on some older intel machines nothing will show up after holding the option key down accept the internal drive itself, But if you hold down the N key it WILL boot to the default image.
I have made sure and checked that the ethernet port was working on the older machines. I also made sure that I can see the images from the startup control panel. All machines can see the netboot images from the startup control panel, but older intel versions cant. However I was able to sometimes get the old white and black macbooks to see the images but others not.
Any suggestions as to why some machines will see the images at the startup screen after holding the option key and why some wont?

That, most likely, means that you have a fairly large number of images and/or they have very long names.
The number of images that can be displayed is limited by the size of the data packet which contains the NetBoot volume information. Two techniques we use to keep this in check are 1) aggressive purging of outdated images, and 2) use of shorter display names (the one seen in Startup Disk, not the one in the NetBootSP0 folder).

XML Parsing with Java - Only some attributes have start and end tags

Hello,
I am trying to interpret the XML response from a server after a HTTP request is sent to it. I have modified an example off Wikipedia below to give an example of what it looks like.
Example XML:
<Asset name="bread" prep_time="5 mins" cook_time="3 hours">
<Attribute name="Ingredient: ">Flour</Attribute>
<Attribute name="Ingredient: ">Water</Attribute>
<Attribute name="Used in Recipes:" />
</recipe>
I have been trying to display the above XML in a format such as:
name: bread prep_time: 5 mins cook_time: 3 hours
Ingredient: Flour
Ingredient: Water
Used in Recipes:
Right now I have been trying to do it manually using indexOf and substring of the XML text, but I would like to find a better way of doing this. I have found some examples online that show had to deal with cases such as
<person>
<first>Kiran</first>
<last>Pai</last>
<age>22</age>
</person>
but I do not know what to do when I encounter something like the last item, when there are no "Used in Recipe" items, and it ends with a />, instead of an ending tag </Attribute>.
Are there any suggestions as to how to handle the example XML code that I have posted?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was making some assumptions, since (as usual) we don't really know the requirements beyond a base technical one (ie "I have this, and I need it to look like this"). In general, though, if you have XML data and you need it formatted differently then I'd say your first port of call ought to be transformation.
As for maintenance, I'd say it's easier to maintain a stylesheet than to modify Java, which is why I say it ought to be the start point.
Of course, YMMV.

Some pictures will not open on Edit view

Hi,
Using iPhoto 5.0.4, all the files are (.jpg) I have a roll of pictures imported off the digital camera thru the application that when I double click, open up in the edit view as a black window. Every other file opens fine. I can see the small pictures in the library and the album of these files. If I try to expand any other files they instantly expand. In the case of these problem files, they instead after a delay, end up as an outlined box the color of my background. in this case grey.
However if I go directly to the iPhoto library, locate the file, and open it with Preview, it opens the file beautifully and I can cover the entire screen with the photo, so the information is obviously there.
I looked for answers on the discussions, I tried someones suggestion to check permissions, for the entire library which I did with no change in the problem. I have several copies of these files, the problem is with all of them. And when I tried to export these files to a CD as an archive, other files were okay, these did not copy, instead their title, file #, etc showed up on the directory for the CD, but each file contained 0 KB.
Thanx to anyone who can figure this out. I suspect it has happened to others, but not to me. I don't like this.

Hi Dr. spock,
this sometimes happens when files are renamed in the finder (specifically the iPhoto Library folder in your Pictures folder.
Try this suggestion from Old toad our forum guru:
There is a way you can recover your library. Here's what I developed and it worked for me. But make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder beforehand just in case:
How to recover those photos lost due to renaming in the Finder1 - do a search of just the iPhoto library folder with the following criteria:
File name contains ".jpg" (or .psd) and File size is less than 1 KB. (You can just do a search for File size less than 1 kb but do not delete the other zero sized files that are of a non image type).
That will find all of those zero sized files that were created when iPhoto couldn't fine the originals.
2 - move those zero sized image files to the trash.
3 - now delete those "bad" photos from the iPhoto library using the normal method within iPhoto (if you don't they will be recovered every time you do a library rebuild with the "recover orphaned photos" option selected).
4 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and when the rebuild menu comes up select the last option, "Recover orphaned photos in the iPhoto Library folder".
This will recover those renamed files and put then in a new roll. The only downside is that their titles in iPhoto will be "Roll xx-1, etc. You can do a Get Info on them, find the actual file name and change the title so they are the same.
So it can be done with a little work.
The only way to rename files that have already been imported into iPhoto is to export them to the desktop, rename them there and then reimport. Once imported you can delete the original set.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

Preview of Ken Burns effect doesn't work with some pictures

I just recently installed a new graphics card (ATI Radeon 7500) on my Sawtooth, 1.2 GHz, so I could utilize the Ken Burns effect in imovie HD. It works but only partly. It works great but with some pictures the preview pane doesn't show the photo. What I see is a what looks like bad reception on an old TV (fuzzies and the picture is distorted so bad you can't even make it out). With other pictures the preview shows up fine. I'm sure I've loaded the drivers. What else can I do?

Hi Tonyy13.
I am presenting the same problem. I can set the Ken Burns' effect while I am with the pictures before placing them in the Clip or Timeframe viewer. After placing them there, if I try to edit the picture (either by right clicking and choosing -edit picture or by control clicking and doing the same, I ended up with a black background. If you change the setting in this black ackground and update this changes they will be effective. So, you can change the slide duration, and everything in the sliders but without an image.
I was running System 10.3.9 and I thought this was the reason. Today, I went and bought Tiger but it didn't sove the problem. I do believe it is a bug in the program. According to Apple's Help and David Pogue's "The Missing Manual" this shouldn't happen.
If you solve this problem reply to this posting. If I did I will reply to your posting. Thank You.

No Safari Bookmarks Preview Images

Hi,
some of my Safari Bookmarks in Cover Flow Modus don't show a preview image.
They just seem to get lost from time to time. And I always had this problem. With every OS and Safari, no matter which version.
How can I assure to always have preview images of my bookmarks or trigger that they'll come back?
Thanks,
Melros

Ok, interesting to hear. Thank you.
But it never felt like Safari would do it automatically. And beside, why should the cache be "full" by sometime? There's enough space on the drive.
But here's a solution I just found out for now:
After deleting the cache (and I guess it would also work for single sites without an recent preview image) I just opened the page again and let it fully load. Then the preview image is back again.
So I did it with all my folders now and it seems to work again. But sadly again not for all. There are still some with no preview images in between where even reoping the page doesn't help.
Quick tip for user who are trying this method: You can simply right click on a bookmark folder and open all bookmarks in tabs. So you won't have to open every single one.
Future solution idea for Apple:
I wish Apple would take care about it automatically. (if they already do we see that it doesn'r properly work yet). So that the images just won't get lost in the first place or at least offer a kind of "refresh all bookmark previews".
From now I'll keep an eye on when they get lost again and will get back on this post if I find out something new about it.
So thank you Carolyn for you help here! : )

Will building the preview images kill Aperture performance?

So Aperture 1.5 will have the option to continually generate JPG preview images. This is how it gets the new "drag and drop iPhoto like ability" because when you do a drag out of Aperture to another app or desktop you are merely copying a file and not rendering a JPG file on the fly...
I cannot imagine what this will do to performance to have preview images being constantly generated in the background.. Everytime you make an adjustment to a version, the machine will be taxed with generating a JPG based on your preferences, almost like doing an export after each adjustment..
I am basing this on how much work it takes Aperture 1.1.2 to export images...

Preview-building won't get in your way, as it is designed to happen in the background, only when you are not directly interacting with the application. The moment your actions require CPU cycles, automatic preview-creation is temporarily paused and then restarts again when you're not working on images.
In addition, you have control over when and how previews are made. You can turn off automatic preview creation and then generate the previews on demand for only specific projects, or only for selected images. (For example, create previews only for your selects, not for the alternates or rejects in stacks).
If you need previews of certain images immediately, you can choose a command to generate the previews; this action becomes a high-priority request and is moved to the front of the queue so that the previews are made right away.

How do I make preview the default pdf viewer after clicking a link?

I have Preview as my default viewer for files I download. But Acrobat thinks it can make itself the default for pdf links I click on the web. I hate Acrobat on the Mac, and I only need it once a year for filing my state taxes online. How do I eliminate Adobe's "entitlement mentality?"
