Photo's black when trying to edit or name
iPhoto used to work, now does not. I reloaded Mac software recently because I had could not see tutorials about 2 weeks ago, tutorials are fixed, but now I cannot edit or name any photos in iPhoto. For example, I click on a thumbnail of a photo, click on edit, nothing but black. Or click on Name, and it only shows black. I have tried "Rebuild" doesn't work. I'm pretty new to MAC, hope there is someone out there who can help.
Thank you Terence!
I've been googling for weeks with this problem... I've been going round in circles.
Upgraded to Snow Leopard and iphoto 09, when hard drive replaced at authorized Apple shop. (no install disks given)
All photos from a certain date were black screen on edit.
Updated OSX combo
Installed RAW compatibilty
Rebuilt library with iphoto loibrary manager
Used onyx to clean up.
Repaired and verified all permissions
Read and re read all possibilites on every thread
Got very upset every time you cut and paste your usual answer to rebuild with iphoto library manager!
Considered re installing Tiger!
Considered throwing my mac out of the window!
Now for the first time I have seen your post above:
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.)
Eureka! Why didn't I think of that before? I'm sure I did it last week but I've rebuilt the library since then and was sure it was fixed, but it happened again... now I hope this is the end of the BLACK SCREEN FROM ****!
Thanks again TD! I hope I'm not back in this forum again!
Best regards

After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos
After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos. How do I fix this as this is the latest update?
If I hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto, I get the option to start a new library. Do I have to import all my thousands of photos into the new library?
In his original post the poster referenced the following. As to the new Library, see the end.
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.

Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

IPhoto goes black when trying to edit photos - help!
iPhoto has suddenly decided to go black screen (where the image should be) dark when trying to edit photos. Permissions are fine (read & edit) so that's not the issue (has been offered on mac forums as a solution to this problem in the past). I am on a MacBook pro 2.53 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, running OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53).
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

Does anyone else experience this problem?
When I try to edit photos in the photo app and in the camera app
I try to crop them and the system will randomly crash. Giving me
either a circle ticking logo on a black screen or the system will
reboot completely with a black screen, Apple logo, and then
back to the lock screen.I have a PC running Windows Vista so what I had to do was in iTunes make sure that all my photos were SYNC'd with my pictures directory. After that when I was sure that I had all the photos that were on my iPhone in my windows pictures directories then I deleted all my pictures off of my iPhone. In order to do this once you plug your iPhone into your computer via the 30 pin dock connector cable, and after the computer recognizes your iPhone, a window will pop up in Windows that shows your device. iOs will allow you to open up a file folder that contains your photos.
Note: there may be several file folders depending on the library size of your pictures and if you have photo stream enabled. In my case I had four folders and these folders or a combination of numbers and letters. These folder names are randomly generated through iOS but just be aware that these folders contain your photos and videos. I know that one folder was just my photo stream because I did not have very many pictures, and two folders had my entire photo library and camera roll in them and another folder had just my videos in it.
The process is pretty simple: once I open these folders, I highlighted all my pictures and deleted them. Once they were deleted off the phone then I went into the iTunes "summary" page for my iPhone. I then went to the "photos" tab and I made sure that the box was checked to sync my photos. In my case I don't have my entire photo library on my phone so I have selected folders button checked. Then I just SYNC'd my phone again. It didn't take too long for iTunes to transfer all my photos back to my phone. After this process was complete I checked all my photos and tried to crop them and had no problems. I also did some screen captures on my phone by pressing the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time. Again I tried to crop photos and had no problem.
So what I believe with the expert advice from Adam Christiansen of the Mac cast podcast was that I had a corrupt photo file or corrupt metadata from a photo file. So what this was doing was causing a system crash and reboot in iOS. I was able to verify this in my diagnostic files on my iPhone in the settings / general / about / diagnostics and usage / diagnostics and usage data TABS.
I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AS IT ALLEVIATED MY PROBLEM. I HAVEN'T HAD ANYMORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE AND WHAT I'VE DESCRIBED ABOVE IS A WAY TO DO IT WITHOUT RESTORING YOUR ENTIRE IPHONE. IF YOU STILL HAVE PROBLEMS AFTER DOING THIS THEN YOU HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM WHICH PROBABLY REQUIRES THAT YOU DO DO A COMPLETE RESTORE OF YOUR IPHONE. BUT BEFORE YOU DO THE RESTORE MAKE SURE THAT YOU BACKUP YOUR IPHONE AND I WOULD SUGGEST DOING THAT TO YOUR COMPUTER AND NOT TO ICLOUD; MY REASON FOR THIS IS THOUGH ICLOUD IS A WAY TO DO IT IT JUST TAKES MORE TIME TO RESTORE FROM A BACKUP VIA ICLOUD AS OPPOSED TO A TETHERED BACKUP VIA THE 30 PIN DOCK CONNECTOR CABLE TO YOUR COMPUTER. -
Photes turn black when trying to edit w/ adjus sliders.
I can edit about 10% of my photos w/ editing 'adjust' sliders. Remainder turn black.I can often reset and get pic back, the move one or two sliders VERY small amounts. there seems no reason although more often my camera downloads will take editing better than scanned photos. Wonder if that has ANYthing to do w/ editing problems. I get no error messages.
In terms of TD's suggestions....I had this problem before my hard drive died 5 months ago, Had new/upgraded OS, iLife, etc installed and started iphoto library w/ all new photos. Same problem, and it seems as if I can successfully edit fewer and fewer pictures as time goes by.If I hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto, I get the option to start a new library.

After updating with the latest software, when trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. If I blindly crop or edit the photo, when I exit edit mode, those changes have been made, but obviously this is unacceptable. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

Black Screen When Trying to Edit Photos
I have the same problem as many others: When trying to Edit a photo, double clicking it creates a normal enlarged screen but this screen is all black. The problem has been raised by many for some time but no solutions have been identified. Should I be surprised that Apple has not yet addressed or even recognize the problem?
what does it mean to right con it?
Sorry - right "click" - fat fingers here
when i try to view photos on full screen, i now get a black screen with a white exclamation point. i view these pictures earlier this year with no problem. please help!
That indicates that iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnail and the full photo - if you have not been messing around inside the iPhoto library (you NEVER should do this) then backup and rebuild your library - depress the command and options keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your library form the last automatic database backup - if that does not fix it use the other options - as a last resort use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to rebuild your library

For years I have had no problems editing photos. However, for some reason when I go to "edit" my photo the photo turns BLACK/BLANK. The editing functions appear but I cannot see the photo. When I select "done" the photo reappears. Why is the photo disappearing for editing? Have I hit a command accidentally that is causing this? Really appreciate someone's assistance.
Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions, followed by Option #4, Rebuild Database, if needed.

Ipod restarts when trying to edit photos
when i go to edit a photo my ipod restarts itself
Many users notice this bug -- it happens when trying to edit a screenshot taken on the iPod. It seems to only apply to the iPod touch, as it works on iPhone or iPad. This bug has been reported.
If that is the case, the user should submit another bug report for it again via this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

Elements 11 organizer has stopped working when trying to edit an album?
Has anyone run into this?
The only place I've had the problem is when trying to edit an album. After it stops working, elements 11 just shuts down.
Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thanks...Great.. you figured that out
Just a thought, if you want to continue using Roboform as well as PSE and the two conflict.. you can Add PSE to Roboform's blacklist. That should stop the interaction between the two.
Steps to do so-
If PSE is running, close it now.
In Roboform 7, go to Options / Applications Integration.
Select Add to the Black List (the list of applications RoboForm will not attach to).
Browse to the location of the PSE executable <Organizer in your case, possibly Editor too>
Thanks

I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.
At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
- If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
- If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect. -
For some reason the "Basic" tab is missing in my Develop folder when trying to edit using LR5..? Plz Help
Right-click (Mac Cmd-click) on another panel header such as "Tone Curve". Make sure there is a checkmark for Basic as was all other panel sections that you want displayed.

particular site but merely an owner of a specific page on this site so I am limited in my ability to troubleshoot but the actual owner is stuck on what the potential issue is and how to resolve this. I manage and own three seperate sites myself and have never
seen this issue so I am trying to assist in any way I can. Any ideas whats the issue?

We need more information of the issue page. As suggested by Mokhtar, you could check if the issue is related to permission.
The issue might also occurs to the page which is developed based Ajax registration. Then it might be caused by AAM configuration.
And you could also refer to the link below if the issue is related to SSRS:

Java error when trying to edit file - access denied
We have been running Vibe 3.0 for a couple years with no issues but suddenly users have begun to get java errors when trying to edit a file from Vibe. When a file entry is opened and the "Edit this file" link is clicked, a dialog pops up that says :
Error from command:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)
Has anyone else seen this? Could it be related to some windows security update perhaps? Any ideas how to resolve would be appreciated. This happens with regular users as well as admin.
Vibe is running on SLES 10 with mysql. We are using IIS Windows Authentication.
