Photo Thumbs Weight More Than Full-Size Photos

I have a problem with my iPod Video 30 GB. Basically when I try to sync full-size photos that weight about 3 GB and iTunes converts them into thumbs on iPod they show as being 12 GB. How can small thumbs weight more than actual full-size photos? Please note that I didn't check the "Copy full-size photos" checkbox. I tried deleting cache folder in the photos dir root and on the iPod HD. Any suggestions or solutions would be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
-Yan

I'll try to find one--not in the Apple Discussions list.
Thanks.

On my new 15" MacBook Pro (June 2011) using Calendar I click the corner arrow to enlarge the screen. Now it is MORE than full size. No arrow visible to return to small size. Menu bar can't be grabbed. I sweep and get back to desktop. No small screen?

I installed Lion on my newish 15" MacBook Pro. When using Calendar I click the corner arrow to enlarge the screen. Now ithe calendar is MORE than full size, no arrow visible to return to small size. The Menu bar doesn't respond. when I try grabbing it to move the whole screen sideways. When I sweep I get back to desktop. I can sweep back to the calendar, but can't make it small again. Menubar options include changing font size, but nothing about reverting to smaller window size. Any suggestions?

We can see thumbnails of horizontal photos but can't see full size photos after data transfer to new mac

hello,
We just updated to a new mac from a 7 year old Mac because the logic board died. =The Apple reseller did a data transfer and now we cannot see full size photos on our new screen. We see the thumb nails but when we try to open a photo in the photo section of the library we get a black screen with an exclaimation mark. How do we fix this?
thanks!

When you first boot your new Mac, it will boot into Setup Assistant. It will walk you through registration and then ask you if you want to migrate. Choose the disk you want to migrate from and choose all settings. No newer apps will be overwritten with older ones. No third party software will be lost. Although you should check compatiblity of apps with ML.

Is there a way to download whole albums with full size photos from picasa to iPhoto without doing it one by one?

A number of people have sent me albums of photos in picasa. There doesn't seem to be a way to import the entire album into iphoto other than doing each photo one by one. Also, when I do each photo, it doesn't appear that I can copy it into a full size photo.
These are all albums with hundreds of photos. I think in the old iphoto you could subscribe to an RSS feed to get the whole album into iphoto but I am not sure you can do this anymore. Can you?
And if not, is there a way to copy whole albums in? It would be so time consuming to do them one by one!
I am using iphoto 9.5.1

You need to
1. Download the images to a folder on the desktop.
It may be possible to download an entire album at a time, but that's a question for a Picasa forum
2. Then import the folder to iPhoto.

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.

In iPhoto, I can see the thumbnails but not the full-size photos

In iPhoto, I can see the thumbnails along the bottom but I can't see the full-size photos - I just see a black screen. What should I do?

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). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) 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?

In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

I'm having trouble with my iCloud photos. I thought i could be a little sneaky and take a photo of my photos that were more than 30 days old, so they would be uploaded along with my new photos. that part worked, but i can't upload them to Snapfish?!

Any thoughts? I'm bummed. I've got a few hundred photos on my iPhone that I'd like to move seemlessly - or somehow at all.

hopefully something in here is helpful?

How to use full size photos in iWeb?

I'm trying to create a web site with photos I've taken, and I want the *full size* photos (1024 x 768, 1280 x 960, etc.) to open when a thumbnail is clicked. The whole point is to publish desktop pictures. iWeb seems intent on downsizing my pictures no matter what I've tried, which is getting very frustrating, and makes them useless for desktop pictures. How do I get iWeb to stop messing with my photos and just do what it's told to do?

I think I understand what you are trying to do. Perhaps what you could do is to basically have a page with thumbnails of your desktop pictures. Maybe you shouldn't use the readymade photo gallery templates in iWeb...they will just have the whole downsized slideshow as you have seen already. Just choose a relatively blank template page like Movie and delete the movie placeholder. Then make your desktop picture thumbnails. And then maybe you will have several different resolutions of each picture, so you make links under each thumbnail so that when they are clicked they will download the appropriate picture file. I think you just use the "Link to file" option in the Inspector panel. Good luck!

How to get rid of thumbnails who've lost their full size photos?

How do I get rid of thumbnails who've lost their full size photos?? ... ie when I spacebar on them I get the exclamation mark ;-(
I've tried rebuilding the library with all options checked; with all except the last 2; and just the first 2 on thumbnails; and the 2nd only. All to no avail!
I expect iPhoto Library Manager would do the trick but don't want to redo my faces stuff which I believe it can't cope with yet ;-()
Long story how I got here but I've re-added recovered full size files that iPhoto '08 "lost" and now in '09 I want to get rid of the thumbnails that point to the missing files.
I now have 2 thumbnails of most pictures - one that works to the full size and the other that gets an exclamation mark! ... I want to get rid of the latter.
I can obviously just press delete on the thumbnail but I need to do it ~ 20,000 times ;-()
A thought ...can I use search somehow to only return the duds?? ... then delete all.
TIA
Barry

You may have to start over from scratch as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
This will get rid of all the orphan thumbnails and give you a clean library. Before doing that you could follow the first 8 steps of Old Toad's Tutorial #1 which will write the keywords, titles and comments to the original files so they will be there in the new library.

Have Revel Premium but will not allow more than 2g of photos...not showing unlimited Gigs...How to Access unlimited Gigs?

Have Revel Premium..but still not allowed more than 2gigs of photos...How to access unlimited Gigs of Revel Premium?

Hi Dale
If you are signed in using the same email ID that I see here, you should have unlimited photo uploads. It shouldn't be required to uninstall and reinstall the app, but since I can't explain your trouble, it seems reasonable to try that. First, be sure that your photos are safely backed up outside of Revel, eg., to an external USB drive. If your photos are already uploaded to Revel, also be sure that you can access them at www.adoberevel.com
The best way to delete the app and clear the app cache is to long-click on Adobe Revel in Mac's Launchpad view. In Launchpad, long-clicking an app should show a tiny 'X' button, which will remove the app.
If the problem persists, can you send me a screen shot of your account details in the app settings?

Exporting full size photos from library to email

I want to export my full size photos (4.8MB) as an attachment to an email. However, my IMac keeps on reducing its size to 22KB - even though I indicate it as JPEG maximum. Can any help?

Just been playing with cropping in iPhoto..
Only the top two crop options are pixel sizes the others are ratios. I don't think it will do what you want..
I usually use Graphic Converter for jobs like that but Preview will work..
Drag your photo from iPhoto to the desktop > double click it to open in Preview > Tools > retangular selection > the pixel sizes are shown as you drag the selection box around. (esc will let you start again & command z will go back.) when you have what you want > Tools > Crop.
Hope that helps..

Scrolling through more than 2 thousands photos in IPhone

Hi,
I've got more than 2 thousands photos in Adobe Photoshop Album SE 3.2 and my I-Tunes sync to with the Photoshop Album. Is there any way in IPhone to sort or organise the photos so that it's easier to view my photos on IPhone. So difficult to scroll thru 2 thousands photos.
Someone please help a Mac Greenie!! Thanks.

iTunes does not include an organize function for photos on your computer, and doesn't handle the import process of photos that were captured by your iPhone.
Are you using a photo storage application for storing and managing photos on your computer and if so, which one?
I use iPhoto for photo storage on my Mac. I can create photo albums with iPhoto for placing select photos in the designated album. Any albums I create with iPhoto are available under the Photos tab for my iPhone sync preferences with the name of the iPhoto album and how many photos are available in each album.
I can select from any photo albums available and more than one at a time. I currently have 10 albums transferred to my iPhone totaling 317 photos between all albums. To remove an album from my iPhone, I deselect the album under the Photos tab for your my iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
If you manage photos manually on your computer and have photos stored in various folders or albums, create a parent folder that will store just the photo folders or albums that you want transferred to your iPhone. Place the folder/albums that contain photos in this parent folder. Select this parent folder to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences and all folder/albums within this parent folder will be transferred to your iPhone. To remove a folder/album from your iPhone, remove the folder/album from the parent folder created for syncing with your iPhone.

ICloud and Photos app are not showing full resolution photos

Since migrating my iPhoto library to Photos, it has had problems showing the full resolution of photos. I initially had "Optimize Mac Storage" selected, but even when I had space available, it would not download the full resolution version of a photo. The loading circle in the bottom right corner would spin until it would be 'fully loaded' but the photo would not become the full resolution photo. I then checked "Download Originals to This Mac", but after it said it had downloaded the full sized versions of everything, the same problem occurred. I then went to iCloud and the iCloud Photos app and saw that some of my photos were displayed at about 1/3 the size on the screen. This wasn't just zoomed out. When I zoomed in closer the image did not resolve any better.
HOWEVER, downloading the photo from iCloud and opening it in preview gave the full resolution photo. I have attached an image showing the different levels of resolution from os x Photos app, iCloud, and the downloaded image (shown in Preview). I used the zoom slider on Photos until it reached 100%, I set the view in Preview to "Actual Size", but in iCloud to get the same dimension image, I had to zoom to 200%+.
Another thing that I noticed was that this doesn't happen to all of my photos:
It definitely happens to all of my photos taken with a Fujifilm X-M1, where I shoot in RAW, adjust and process in Lightroom, then export JPEGs to iPhoto. These tend to be slightly smaller (largest side 2048 pixels).
It doesn't happen to photos taken with 645Pro app (where I still export JPEGs to iPhoto with largest side 2048 pixels).
It happens to some, but not all, photos taken with the iPhone's native camera app
I am very confused. Also, even after having checked "Download Originals to this Mac" and letting it download everything, the Photo Library is only 3.77 GB. In iCloud it is ~10GB and my old iPhoto library was about ~15GB.

I now discovered that I can't edit photos in the Photos app (presumably because Photos is not communicating well with iCloud and can't download the full resolution photo to edit).
