Photo corrupted with Green flashes in iPhoto

Hi.
I have an Imac late 2006 (Intel Core 2 Duo).
I have updated it with Mac Box (SLiLife09iWork).
All works fine, but... when I try to modify a photo using iPhoto (for example zooming or rotating it), the image (and only the image, not the rest of iphoto window) is corrupted with green blocks. If I continue to update the photo (rotating it or zooming) the image is not corrupted anymore.
any idea about this fault?
Could be the graphic card?
Same problem also using iMovie HD as I try to update a photo.
Thanks for your help
Roberto

I have noticed the same thing. I ran the hardware test and it didn't find any hardware problems, which is what I expected since my iMac is only 6 months old.
I didn't start having this problem until updating to the latest iPhoto update. I'm running iLife 09 with all the updates applied.
The only time I get the green blocks is when I am in edit mode. Exiting the edit and going back into it gets rid of the problem. I feel this has to be an iPhoto issue. Fortunately, it doesn't happen that often to make iPhoto unusable.

  • Why do I get white eye on photos taken with a flash?

    When I take photos of people in low light conditions that require a flash, the eyes of the subjects have white reflections. I have never seen this with my other pocket cameras.

    It's because the flash is closer to the camera lens than on a conventional camera.  Sometimes this appears as "red-eye."  iOS 5 Photos app (and many 3rd party apps) can remove them.

  • Mulitple Photo Editing with PS Elements as iPhoto 6 Editor

    Currently I am using PS Elements 4 as my iPhoto editor. When I 'select all' within an Album and select 'Edit' PS Elements only opens 4 photos regardless of how many I selected within iPhoto.
    Even if a manually select more than 4 photos in iPhoto, PS Elements still only opens 4 for editing.
    Does anyone know who I can have PS Elements open all the selected items I have selected within iPhoto?
    Hope this makes sense.

    MV:
    Just can't be done. To get more than 4 open in PE you have to go 4 at a time. It's just the nature of the beast. You can submit a feature request at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

  • IPHOTO says photos saved with newer version of IPHOTO. How can i get the new version of IPHOTO back on my system?

    I loaded IDVD on my IMAC. Now IPHOTO will not open pictures due to pictures saved with a newer version of IPHOTO. How can i restore the newer version of IPHOTO back on my system?

    Sounds like a possible damage library.  Give this a try: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Quality of close-up photos taken inside w/flash??

    With Q10!
    I'm thinking of switching from my Point & Shoot camera to using the Q10 for close-up photos with poor lighting inside.
    Is there any difficulty taking close-up photos inside with the flash?  Is there any set-up required or will it work fine with factory settings?
    How do such photos compare with Point & Shoot camer photos?
    Thanks for any/all info!
    . . . . .  Pete

    I don't think that any smartphone is able to perform better than a "real" camera.
    There are speculations around other brands that I won't name here but, as far as I am concerned, I don't put high expectations from a device that wasn't build for a specific use.
    As a spare solution yes, but not more I would say.
    Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

  • Photos edited with Photoshop and saved to iPhoto don't show up in album?

    When I edit photos in PSCS4, rename them, and save them to the original iPhoto album, they do not reappear. When I use the "finder", I can see that they are saved to the modified folder within iPhoto with their new filename. Is there a way to save them so that they will reappear in the original album?

    FWIW:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

  • Photo clicked with flash does not give clear image

    photo clicked with flash does not give clear image

    I did some more testing with this, and it appears to be a Gmail problem with iOS iPhoto.
    I called Apple support, and this issue was escalated to engeneering.
    When sending photos from iPhoto for iOS via Gmail from the iOS device, only the small and medium sized photos can be opened in Mail on the iOS device.  The large and original photos do not open in Mail.
    This occured across different devices I tested, including iPad 2, 3, and 2 separate iPhone 4S devices.  All were updated to the lastest firmware.  iPhoto was uninstalled, and reinstalled.
    When sending and receiving photos from iPhoto for iOS via iCloud me.com email servers, all the photos of different sizes could be opened in Mail fine on the iOS devices.
    It appears that Gmail servers somehow change the way the photos are encoded, and make them not viewable on the iOS device.  Very disappointing, since the native Mail program has no problem, and photos sent via gmail or other are fine.
    Another iPhoto for iOS glitch!

  • IPhoto problem with external flash drive

    I'm trying to transfer some pictures from IPhoto to my external flash drive but it won't allow me to.

    Hi jschmidt33,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Try following along with the article below, if you follow those steps you should be able to save photos to your external drive or any other folder on your computer's internal drive.
    iPhoto '11: Export a photo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2438
    When you email, print, publish, or export a photo from your iPhoto library, iPhoto asks you to choose the size, also known as resolution. The settings you choose depend on what you want to do with the photo.
    To change a photo’s size or file format, you export the photo. You might want to export photos so that you can import them into another application.
    To export photos:
    Select the photo or photos you want to export.
    Choose File > Export.
    At the top of the Export Photos window, click the File Export button.
    To specify the file type for the exported photo, choose an option from the Kind pop-up menu:Original: Exports the photo as it was originally imported into iPhoto, before editing.Current: Exports the photo in its current format. If you imported a RAW-format photo and then edited it in iPhoto, the photo is exported as a JPEG file.JPEG: If you choose this format, choose an option from the JPEG Quality pop-up menu. The higher the quality, the bigger the photo. For example, if the photo will be used on a website where optimal quality for printing isn’t required, you could choose Low to save storage space on the website.TIFF: A lossless file format that works well for transferring photos between computers and applications.PNG: Another lossless file format popular for web images.
    To change the size (resolution), choose an option from the Size pop-up menu:
    For photos to be emailed or mainly viewed onscreen, these settings compress the photos (making them smaller):
    Small: Use for photos you email or publish to websites where you don’t expect anyone to download and print your photos.
    Medium: Use when you or your recipients have a reasonably fast Internet connection, such as DSL. This setting is not suitable for making prints.
    Large: Use this setting when you and your recipients have a very fast connection. This size can be used to print small to standard-size photos (2 by 3, 3 by 5, and 4 by 6 inches).
    For photos to be printed or published for download, these settings provide maximum detail for final prints:
    Optimized: Use for larger prints and for publishing photos to websites for others to download and print. With this setting, photos are slightly compressed to a smaller file size so that they download faster without compromising quality.
    Actual Size/Full Size: Use to make high-quality prints in small to large sizes, or to upload photos to websites so that others can download and print them. This setting matches the actual size of your photo, so it may take longer to upload or download.
    Specify your other options:Include checkboxes: If you choose JPEG or TIFF from the Kind pop-up menu, you can include titles, keywords, and location information with the exported photos by selecting the checkboxes.File Name: Choose whether to export photos in sequence, or by their filenames, iPhoto titles, or album name.Prefix for sequential: If you choose Sequential from the File Name pop-up menu, you can specify text to appear before each number (for example, Birthday01, Birthday02, and so on). This step is optional.
    Click Export.
    Choose where to save the exported photo files, and then click OK.
    iPhoto works best with JPEG files, the standard format for data compression of still pictures. If you experience problems working with a non-JPEG file in iPhoto, use a different image-editing application to convert the image to JPEG.
    Good luck!

  • My iphoto library database was corrupted with one file taking over all images i purchased aperture, selected no for importing duplicates and yet it is still importing duplicates what can i do??????

    my iphoto library database was corrupted with one image taking over every other image on the database
    i purchased aperture and am in the process of copying my i photo library , i ticked no to importing duplicate images and yet it is still importing many duplicates including the photo which took over my old iphoto library
    help how can i stop it from importing the duplicates?

    my iphoto library database was corrupted with one image taking over every other image on the database
    What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean one thumbnail only was visible in the iPhoto Window? What? This is the sort of thing that's fixed easily by an iPhoto rebuild. Gives us some more information and we may be able to help with that - iPhoto version and a description of exactly what's happening will help.
    i ticked no to importing duplicate images and yet it is still importing many duplicates including the photo which took over my old iphoto library
    A couple of thoughts here: If the iPhoto Library is corrupted and Aperture is importing from this damaged Library well you can't expect that it will all go easily, can you?
    The iPhoto Library contains two versions of edited photos. Are you sure that you're not seeing the second version?

  • I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page

    I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page, or possibly in some sort of booklet format. Thank you very much.

    You can make a Book and have a photo on one side and your text description on the other.

  • I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
    Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

    Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

    No. If you don't have the album you originally used to create the galleries you can do so by dragging the photos from each gallery to a new, empty album. Then when you find the photo sharing site/option you have decided on  you can easily upload each album to the site.
    Another option is to obtain a hosting service and create iWeb photo pages for each album and future albums similar to this photo page in one of my demo sites: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow.  Or you can use the iWeb album page and have an album for each  iPhoto album on it like on this demo page: Page-7 .

    As for AS3 part of it, I am not sure your code really works. There are syntax and logical errors there.
    I think you need to take it step by step and accomplish several task in the following sequences:
    1. Write code that loads XML correctly;
    2. Write code that enables buttons;
    3. Write code that will load images on button clicks.
    The code below shows in principal what needs to be done in order to load XML and make the data in this XML available for further consumption. Also, by accomplishing this step you will iron out all the PHP vs Flash wrinkles including your XML.
    Please note, I don't know your XML structure so all the parsing issues you need to resolve yourself.
    Once you get handle on it - we, hopefully, will talk about steps 2 and 3.
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.net.*;
    var images:XML;
    var myRequest:URLRequest;
    var myLoader:URLLoader;
    // list of image urls that will come from loaded XML
    var imageList:XMLList;
    myRequest = new URLRequest("Photography.php");
    myLoader = new URLLoader();
    myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
    // suggested handler for unexpected errors - avoids some headaches
    myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
    myLoader.load(myRequest);
    // Note: all the listeners are removed
    // it is always wise to remove listeners that are needed any longer
    // to make objects eligible for arbage collection
    function onLoadError(e:IOErrorEvent):void
         trace(e.toString());
         myLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
         myLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
    function onFileLoaded(e:Event):void
         myLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
         myLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
         images = new XML(myLoader.data);
         // only now xml is ready and you can start loading images
         imageList= images.pic;

  • Error in creating XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0

    Hello, all. I've been creating an XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 following a tutorial. I followed the instructions step-by-step but at the end I got the following error message instead:
    Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
    Could anyone in the community assist me as to how to solve the problem? The script has no errors and last time I checked all the applicable files (the .xml file, the .jpg files, the .swf and the .fla file) are in my Documents folder on the Mac.
    Looking forward to your suggestions!

    Check the folder structure
    Flash is not able to get some file thats why the IO Error.
    trace the url path just before u load the file and u will be abel to find whether that file is in specified folder or not.

  • Media Encoder CS4 problem with h.264 QuickTime- Green flashes

    I have been using Premiere/Media Encoder CS4 on both a Mac and PC. I am having problems encoding using h.264 HD (720p) settings. These are the problems I have had:
    When I encode on both platforms (using many different settings) the video plays back fine on the latest version of QuickTime on the Mac.
    On the PC using the latest version of QuickTime the exact same video stutters and flashes green.
    When I downgrade my version of QT on my PC to 7.4.5 the video plays fine.
    With the downgraded version of QT and then encode the video again using the same settings. The video has the same mentioned problem on ANY PC with the latest version of QT.
    I would like to say that this is just a QT problem but when I encode the videos using someone elses computer with other software (Sorenson Squeeze) using the exact same settings the video works fine on all platforms.
    I need to distribute these videos online so I have no control over what version of QT people will be using to view the video so it is not enough just to say use the older version of QT.
    Thanks in advance for help.

    There have been several instances, such as you describe, on the forum lately. Do not recall any exact resolutions though. I'd seach for "green flashes," as that exact phrase has been used in many.
    On the PC using the latest version of QuickTime the exact same video stutters and flashes green.
    Is this with QT 7.6.2? Many had major issues with the QT 7.4.x versions and Adobe software. The QT 7.5.5 version seemed to fix most of those, but another user was having issues with it very recently, and there have been some, who have also had issues.
    It seems that QT will work with Adobe products for a bit, and then the next upgrade, or two, will fritz up the whole works.
    Wish this was not such a "moving target."
    Good luck,
    Hunt
