Panasonic zs 7 and editing pictures in iphoto

can download photos to iphoto but when I click on edit the screen is black, when I slide the bottom to enlarge photo all I get is a small picture that says navigate on it but it is still not able to open..any ideas

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. *Permissions in the Library* : 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. *Minor Database corruption*: 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.
3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*If none of these help*:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Entering and editing descriptions in iPhoto

Are there any suggestions for entering and editing descriptions in iPhoto 11? The user interface is cumbersome if the description is longer than two lines. My workaround has been to upload to flickr and edit there so it syncs back to iPhoto

Thanks for your reply. Thats a workaround but about the same as what Im doing in flickr. At least with flickr if I do any edits they will sync back to the photo. The functionality of the description field in '11 is a serious step backward from what it was in the previous version. I submitted feedback a few months ago but was hoping someone here had good suggestions.

There are 3 users on my iMac. how does each backup their iPhone and download pictures into iPhoto?

There are 3 users on my iMac. How does each backup their iPhone on iTunes and download pictures into iPhoto?

If they are using three separate Mac accounts, then they have three iTunes libraries and three iPhoto libraries, so it just works.
If they are trying to share one Mac Account, they probably want to switch to separate accounts.

How do I transfer a multiple number of my edited pictures from iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my mac?

I have been working on my ipad with iphoto. First I transferred the pictures from my SD card with connection kit and then I started to edit a lot of them. Now i need to transfer them back to my mac. I would like to continue manage them in Iphoto on the mac but I can not find the option. When I import the pictures via Iphoto or aperture the pictures transfers without the changes I made on the Ipad. I've also tried the command "Send to Itunes" but nothing happens. Do I really need to convert every edited picture to the camera roll ONE BY ONE and then sync the normal way? And I need them with no loss of quality because I want to print a book later. Please help.

There is no link between iPhoto (or Aperture) on your Mac and the app on iOS. So you'll need to export from the iOS app and then import to your preferred app on the Mac. For details on that:

Why won't my file names and edits export from iPhoto

I spent hours making edits to some photos and I see my new file names and edits in iPhoto but when I export or drag them into a new folder none of the file names or edits are copying over. How can I fix this?

Add a Title to a photo - which is what you do in iPhoto - is not the same as renaming a file. There is no way to rename a file in iPhoto, you can, however, choose to use the Title as a filename when you export.
File -> Export

Syncing original (CR2) and modified pictures of iPhoto 6 on two computers

I've just faced a problem with iPhoto 6 and as I haven't found any good solution to it on Internet, I'd like to share with you all the solution I've finally applied.
I'm using iPhoto 6 both on my MacBook and my iMac. When I'm travelling I shoot in Canon Raw 2 (CR2) format, upload my pictures to my MacBook, and, eventually, I edit them in some way. When I arrive at home, I'd like to sync my iMac with Macbook's iPhoto library (both the original CR2 file and the modified files in jpg). However, this turns out to not be so easy.
I cannot just copy both the "iPhoto Library/Modified/YYYY/Rollname" and "iPhoto Library/Original/YYYY/Rollname" to iMac's iPhoto, because it isn't a file browser, but a database-based photo manager. If I import the "Original" folder with iPhoto and then copy the "Modified" folder with Finder, iPhoto won't recognise the modified picture, because according to its database that picture has never been edited.
The solution I've used it's been to import the "Original" folder, so that CR2 files are put into iPhoto. Then, modify in some random way all the images that I had edited on my Macbook (easyly identificable without the "RAW" tag), so that iPhoto will know which pictures are modified but I don't have to take care with the editing, just modify something. Next step would be to copy Macbook's "Modified" folder to the iMac. And finally, I have to execute iPhoto while keeping Command + Option keys down and select the two first options (regenerate thumbnails).
Hope this helps someone
Miguel

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Well, easier might be to simply use iPhoto Library Manager to move the pics, all the versions and attached metadata between libraries.
Standard warnng: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Using the new iMovie and importing pictures from iPhoto, why are some of my pictures blurry?

I Know this topic has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything recent about this. I have iMovie opened & I'm putting the pictures in. In iPhoto the pictures are clear, but when moved to iMovie, become blurry. I know it has to do with the resolution of the picture but I can't find where to change it at

As far as I know, you can't change it: first, your photo is probably a .jpg and iMovie will be adapting it to a video file which will result in somewhat of a loss of quality and second, if your original picture is small, it cannot be enlarged without significant loss of quality as it will get blurry while the individual pixels are being made larger - that depends on your camera settings and its photo output size. So it could be either or both of those that is the problem here. Check your camera and see what size you are taking your pictures in.

Problems uploading and emailing pictures from iphoto

When I try to upload/connect to facebook in iphoto is says that there is an error and to try again later-it is rejecting my email and password to sign in and connect to my account, even though it is correct.
I also tried to email some pictures and it says I am not connected to the internet and to try again later.
I have tried restarting my mac and searching for updates and nothing is working, I had tried earlier this morning around 9 and it is about 7:20 pm and it is still not working.

I'm having a similar problem.
I'm trying to upload a picture to FB but I get a message to login, which I do and then it tells me that there is an error connecting to FB and try again later. I can login to FB via Safari without any issues.
Any suggestions?

Viewing and Editing Issues with iPhoto 09

While I have enjoyed the new features of iPhoto 09 vs iPhoto 08, there are two differences that may be bugs or may be "new features." The first is that while viewing images within an event, the image zoom slider in the lower right corner of the window will no longer zoom an image to full view within the image browser. I only get a minimum of three images left to right. Any ideas why I can't zoom fully without opening the edit window or clicking on the image to zoom it to full screen (not within the image browser)?
The second question has to do with editing. When I take a portrait image and open the editing window, the image is rotated into landscape mode. This did not happen in iPhoto 08. Is anyone else seeing this? If so, is this a new "feature" or a bug?
All of all of my images are stored as RAW file format.

Thank you both.
For the image viewing, I'll accept that things sometime change. In fact, if you click once on an image so that it is highlighted, you can go in and out of zoom by touching the space bar, and then navigate with the left and right arrows at full screen.
When I encounter an image that has a rotation issue in edit, I'll use Revert to Original to fix the image.
I've been using iLife/iPhoto since they first came out years ago, and the interface generally added things, not remove them...oh, well, in iPhoto 09, the good clearly outweighs the bad. I only wish I now had a camera with built-in GPS, but I've still been having fun entering locations for all of my photos.

Import and edit on iOS iPhoto - dump on Mac

Hi all,
Is it possible to edit photos on an iPad, then transfer to a Mac/iPhoto and retain the original file and full resolution?
I've been experimenting with iPhoto on the iPhone but when I share to iTunes the photos are downsized.
Thanks.

The free app "Acrobat app" is the new release of the free Adobe Reader Mobile.
The app provides a connection via your internet connection (WiFi, Wired, Cell Data Plan, whatever) to several of Adobe's online subscription based services.
With the appropriate service it is possible to process PDFs of scanned images for OCR. The OCR output is "real" text and Reader's Comment / Markup tools can be used.

Apple Macbook Pro contrast dark! Videos unwatchable and editing pictures pointless!

Hello. I have had my 13' Macbook Pro since Sept 2011 and have always had this problem but recently it has been so annoying! I have seen a number of other people with this problem but am unable to find a solution. The colours are fantastic on the screen and the brightness is at its maximum however... but still, any dark colours on photographs, films or online videos are all so dark and which makes them unwatchable or extremely hard to make out.
When I watch a DVD, I have to change the contrast on the DVD menu so I can see the video (night scenes are impossible to watch as everything is so dark), but watching online videos is hard because I am not able to lighten the contrast on my laptop to make it better. I realised this was a problem when I printed some pictures off... On my Apple, if there are dark colours, they are very dark and once again hard to see (subtle shadows are just black). I have to change the shadowing in the settings to make them better. The colours come out fine on my rubbish £300 quid notebook and so far i'm using that over my apple which is such a shame.
I have tried chnaging the colours on the calabriator but it's really hard to get them right. Although I can make the contrast brigher on it, it seems to wash out the colour in everything else. I compared my Macbook pro colours with my friends Macbook and the contrast/dark shadows are the exact same. Is it something to do with the retina display? Or is it because I have Snow Leopard? I have no idea... Either way I really want my screen to be normal so I can watch films without changing the settings, edit my photographs without using other laptops and enjoy my netflix subscription without dreading dark scenes :-(
Thank you.

I also have the same problem. It shuts down while I'm working on it, and when I put it to sleep it shuts down instead and I lose everything I've worked hours for.
I took it to Apple yesterday, and the customer service they gave me is unparalleled!
In a nutshell, this is what they told me: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4822886?tstart=0
Seems to be a common bug. :| :| :|

How to download and store pictures in Iphoto by date taken, not event?

When I plug in my camera, an event box comes up asking for me to input an event. I want the pictures to download directly into a date taken folder.

If you set iPhoto's preferences to split events into 1 day time space photos imported from a camera will be imported into an event based on the EXIF Capture date with just one day per Event:
However, you can't import into an existing event.

Iphoto edited pictures not importing ipad

Hello
Is it possible that my edited pictures on Iphoto get imported as original (with no changes) to my Ipad2?
Is there a solution?
Thankyou!
Alex

Alexmanj-
I believe you are correct. Try exporting the photos from iPhoto and placing them in a folder. The exported photos should have all the latest changes. In iTunes, select your iPad under DEVICES and click the Photos tab at the top of that screen. Specify the new folder for transfering photos to the iPad and re-sync.
As an alternative, you could export the photos, rename them, and then move them back into iPhoto. They will be treated as new originals.

Why does a black and white picture come out with a tint? iPhoto, Canon

When I print a black and white picture from iPhoto, it comes out with a tint. How do I prevent that? iPhoto, Canon MX310

Hey neil293,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, when you print a photo in iPhoto it has a tint. I would recommend that you read this article, this article explains how to adjust the tint in a photo.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

How do I import edited images and NOT masters from iphoto

I'm trialling aperture with a view to migrating from iphoto. I having difficulty importing images from iphoto in so much as whatever options I use to import aperture brings both the master photo and edited version from iphoto. I'd prefer to import only masters where no edited version exists AND where a photo has been edited within iphoto just the edited version (and all metadata, faces, keywords, places etc).
Is this possible?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Then you don't want to import your iPhoto Library, what you want to do is export the files from iPhoto (File -> Original *Kind: Current*) to folders on the desktop and then import from there.
Note that using the Current setting will miss a lot of metadata. If you want that you'll need to set the *Kind to Jpeg* and check the boxes at "titles and descriptions" and "Places information". However, if you're unedited images are Raw you won’t get the masters, obviously.
