Photobook corrupt photo !?!?!?!

I'm trying to use Photobook in iPhoto for the first time and I'm about to shoot my computer. The book layout is made, and during the upload I get an error stating photo "IMG_0593.jpg" is corrupt or missing. Replace or delete to place order. Well, it doesn't tell me what freaking page that photo is on, and it gives me NO WAY to figure out which photo that even is. I have searched my computer and there is no "IMG_0593.jpg". Every single photo in my photobook is visible, no errors are showns. How do if figure this out without loosing my mind!! Thanks.

By dumbluck I figured it out. Watch as it is uploading and see what page it is on when you get the error. I have NO IDEA how they count their pages, but it will give you a 3 page spread to look at. Remember the photos, then go ALL the way back out in to the album those photos are in. One by one right click and 'get info'. No idea why the name didn't come up in a Finder search, but it was there. The error I got was for not being 'full res'. It was 1.5 MB so I don't know why it didn't take. I had to delete it and replace with a different photo.

URGENT - Corrupt photo file

Can anyone help with the following error message :
Unable to Assemble Book
There is a problem with the photo with the file name "DSC_0090.JPG" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace the photo or delete it from you book.
My problem is that this photo is not even in my book and I have tried to delete it and reload another copy but am still getting this annoying message.

Finally I could order the photo book. I figured out, that you cant't open these "corrupt" files in iPhoto: you get a big "?" on black background when you open these pictures in iPhoto (e.g. Events). But I could open without problems the "corrupt" files in the iPhoto library (in Apple Finder). So what I did is: "repair" these "corrupt" photos by reimporting these files into iPhoto (got doubles) and then deleted the "corrupt" ones from iPhoto. After doing the same within the photo book, everything worked fine.
The question remains: how did I get these "corrupt" photos in iPhoto? The process of rebuilding the iPhoto databases (press alt-cmd at start of iPhoto) somehow did not work.

Re error 8 message/corrupt photo when trying to buy a photo book

I am trying to upload a photo book, which I have done many times before, and this message comes up: "com.apple.chameleon.component
General.error 8." The book stops uploading at page 4 and sites a corrupt photo. How do I find out which photo is causing the problem? The same thing happens when I try to preview the book. Help!

Remove the photos on page 3 and preview - if it works re place the photos on p 3 oneone and preview until you find the problem photo - if the problem is not on p 3 then do the same on p4 and p5 is necessary

Corrupting photos on my Satellite M50

Hi,
I have a Satellite M50-130 and have just started having a problem with photo files.
They have started to corrupt and the preview comes up with the words 'drawing failed' or 'no preview available'.
I can still see the thumbnail picture but the info for the file, ie the size and what camera was used is gone.
I'm not sure why this is happening and it doesn't appear to have stopped. I have opened old folders with photos in and found that one or two have corrupted.
It could have been from using ad-aware I guess. I did a system restore to another time but this didn't fix the problem.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Hello James
Please do not be mad on me but I do not see any connection between described issue and Toshiba as notebook manufacturer.
In my opinion corrupting photos has something to do how you use your notebook and the whole stuff you have preinstalled on it. The fact is that under well running operating system you will be able to open all jpeg and bmp files (if not damaged).
Which kind of photos you have (jpeg or something else)? Have you tried to open this files on some other PC?

IPhoto 6 corrupted photos

Here I am back 2 yrs later with the same problem that has never been solved and is only worse now. i photo continues to corrupt photos and they become only available as little thumbnails. Trying to rebuild is impossible because of individual Alert msg. that orig item cannot be found. This becomes daunting because there are probably 1200 to 1500 lost. Trying to create and populate a new library takes immense patience too because there are over 500 rolls some with only one photo in them. 2/3's of original photos are on DVD but many aren't. I use Super Duper to an external hard drive and have found out that the backup has just replicated the latest corruption every time I backup "newer files". I should mention that if I ever search via spotlight or search window in iphoto6 for a photo that has been corrupted that once it starts it makes me go through individually searching for every photo and won't let me out until I finally have to shut down the hard drive. TD was helping me b4. Anybody have any new ideas? Thanks

I'm sorry but you're not explaining how iPhoto is corrupting photos. What you're describing is how the database file is damaged and it's too long to fix?
The solution to the problem is one of the problem regardless of the time it takes:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Z2 Corrupt Photos

Hi All,
Just got back from an awsome holiday in Cornwall where I took loads of fantastic photos to find that when I copied the photos off the phone onto my PC a large portion, 20-30 or so couldn't be opened by any software on my pc.
Looks likemy z2 has corrupted a large number of consecutive photos from before I went on my holiday to yesterday that have been stored on my SD card.
They displayed fine in the album app but won't display in the photos app or upload in the facebook. all i get is the mountain pic on each photo.
This isn't the 1st time it's done it, i lost a few photos a month ago but put it down to a one off. Is anyone else having this issue? I'm guessing that even though the data is there for the photos, theres no way of restoring them?
What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

Yeah, i check my photos after taking them. thats what makes this problem so annoying! The albumn app must have saved the thumbs of the corrupt photos so i didn't even notice there was an issue until i took them off the phone onto my pc. It must have done it only a day or two ago as i even uploaded a photo from my hols to facebook without any issue.
I'm going to take the phone back to where I got it from and see what they suggest. It's not an issue I'm prepared to live with.

Corrupted Photos w/ Camera Connect

Hello,
I work with photography, so I bought the iPod for uploading the photos of my CF Card in the iPod so I could keep on working using the same card. After 2 or 3 uploads. I started getting corrupted photos, altought the generated thumbnails are OK, the photos get corrupted. I can't really figure it out why, as I lost alot of work I'm really not happy about it. The 15 day return past, as I'm in Brazil and I'm only going to be in the us again in the 17th... what should I do? Any test sugestion? Is it software or bad blocks?
Thanks

Nobody has any idea, nor it happend to anyone??

Corrupted Photo Hides iPhoto Library from other iLife apps

I was recently using iMovie HD to create a movie for church and wanted to insert some still images given to me by the pastor. I imported the images into iPhoto, but found that iMovie reported that I needed to "Launch iPhoto 2 or later to populate this list."
I am a regular user of iPhoto 6 for my own personal needs, and have launched it dozens of times on my computer, so this puzzled me. I checked the help files and found under the article entitled "I don't see any photos in the Photos pane," which simply says that I must be using iPhoto 4 or higher and have opened iPhoto at least once, both of which are true, but I relaunched iPhoto just in case, but to no avail.
Checking to see if the problem was with iMovie, I found that I also had no access to my photos from iDVD, so the problem seems to be with iPhoto.
I also checked out Apple's support database, and found the article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75491, "iLife: Cannot See iPhoto Files in Other iLife Applications." Following these instructions, including the recreation of the XML file, yielded no positive results.
After some experimenting with iPhoto/iMovie on other computers and in other accounts, I found that when I imported a particular set of pictures was when the pictures disappeared from iMovie. I tried deleting these pictures from my own main iPhoto library, but the problem was not solved. I finally found out that once the corrupted photo had been imported into iPhoto, nothing I would do would allow the iPhoto pictures to be viewable from other applications.
I eventually solved this by renaming my iPhoto library, using GraphicConverter to convert the suspect files in batch mode and importing the converted files into a new iPhoto library. This at least allowed me to get the movie finished, but I now have two iPhoto libraries on my computer, only one of which is visible to other iLife applications.
I found out that if I held down some keys while launching iPhoto, I would be given the option to rebuild the iPhoto library using four checkboxes: Rebuild small thumbnails, Rebuild all thumbnails, Rebuild Library database and recover orphaned photos. I've done all four to no effect.
So, after all of that, my final question is, is it possible to restore my iPhoto library such that I can again access it from other iLife applications without losing the many albums I've created?
Thanks,
Chuck

So far, no go with iPhoto Library Manager, although the program and the help files that come with it have suggested some leads.
First of all, when I open iPhoto Library Manager, it reports:
The album data file for this library is malformed.
XML parser errors:
Encountered unexpected character k on line 59525
Old-style plist parser error:
Malformed data byte group at line 1; invalid hex
So I opened AlbumData.xml in BBEdit and checked out line 59525 (as suggested by the iPhoto Library Manager help files) and found that it looked like this:
<string> <key>274</key>
Above it is the line:
<key>771</key>
Most <key><string> pairs look like this:
<key>XXX</key>
<string>KeywordName</string>
So for some reason, the problem line isn't closing the string tag. I tried editing the keyword that came after the problem line, but it didn't fix the parse error. From what I can tell, manually editing the AlbumData.xml file won't solve the problem, as iPhoto only writes to it for other applications, and doesn't read it. The next time I launch iPhoto, it would simply write the same data.
I also checked for the string 771 in the file as that's the keyword ID that appears before the parse error, but it's only found in relation to an album and a roll.
Because of this, iPhoto Library Manager can't rebuild the library. However, the help files do offer the author's email address, and it's obvious that he's spent time looking into this type of problem (the help files describe exactly the problem behavior I'm having with the error message seen in iMovie). So I'm going to zip up the AlbumData.xml file and send it to him. While I do that, I may look through the keywords more closely and see if any of them look like they have suspect characters. Perhaps renaming them will solve the problem.
Of course, this keyword clue doesn't explain why importing un-keyworded photos would cause the problem in the first place, but if I can get it fixed, I'll be happy.

IPhoto 11 upgrade corrupted photos, Photo showing up black white outlines

I am going to post in the iPhoto and Time Machine forums. I tried to upgrade to the iPhoto 11, and bunch of my photos are now showing up blank with white outlines. I would only say that about half of my photos between July 4th and when I did the upgrade are showing up in this manner.
I went back to iPhoto 9 and tried to restore my iPhoto Library back to the point just before I upgraded. When I go into iPhoto "Browse backup" it still shows the the photos blank with white outlines. Also on the right side of Time Machine there are only white bars until Nov 17th. The bars before then are gray. What does this mean?
Any suggestions on how to recover the corrupt photos?

Are you sure the photos are corrupt? Sounds like the thumbnails need to be rebuilt to me: 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.

How can you make photobook using photos in the order you have them titled

I spent a lot of time renaming photos ("a1" through "z9") to get them in chrono order when viewing/sorting them by title. Yet, when I go in to create a photobook it doesn't put them in this new order by title, but rather uses the old naming system which puts them out of order. Anyone have any ideas how to get photobook to look at the photos by "new" renamed title?

I put them in chrono order after all all were imported into iPhoto by naming them appropriately.
No, that puts them in alphabetifcal order, not chronological order.
What other post?
I started to repy to this post earlier and somehow aborted the post instead of adding it.
If you use the Batch Change ➙ Date option with 1 minuted between photos on the photos as they are sorted by title they will go into the book in that order.

[BUG] Upgrade corrupts photo book layouts!

Here's something to add to the plethora of bugs in iLife'11. Whenever I open a photo book that was created with an earlier version, I briefly see the "Upgrading photo book…" message, and after that, all photos are default-zoom and centered at their spots in the book layout!
I have >20 books in my library and a lot of effort went into making their layout just perfect. The problem does not yet appear in iPhoto 8.1.2, I have been experimenting with several "upgrade paths" from iPhoto 7.1.5 to iPhoto 9.0.1 now. It is clearly a problem in iPhoto 9.
When going directly from iPhoto 7 to 9, by the way, you lose all the key photo selections that you have done in your events (>200 for me…), as already reported here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12495859&#12495859
So if any of you are also keeping their photos in nicely layouted photo books, I strongly recommend waiting with the upgrade to iLife'11 until Apple fixes the upgrade process to NOT destroy any data.

Same problem here with all photo books!
iPhoto '11 does in fact display a warning after the update, something like "update successful, but please check before ordering". Well, I checked, and I found all books are corrupted (zoom and offset are wrong as described above).
This dialog however is a pathetic way of dealing with the (apparently known!) problem, Apple!
Even worse, I noticed that TimeMachine backup (inside iPhoto) does not list photo books, so the only way back (after wiping iPhoto 11 from the hard drive and re-installing the previous version) seems to be to replace the whole iPhoto Library manually (I sincerely hope that the photo books are stored in there and not anywhere else - does anyone know for sure?)
There also is no way to export a photo book (apart from non-editable PDF) and to re-import it on another MacOS installation (with an earlier version of iPhoto), is there? So until I find a solution and the time to try it out, I need to keep my pre-update backup of the whole iPhoto Library. And I must not make any significant changes to the new library, because there very probably is no way of merging those changes into the old one.

IWeb losing, and then corrupting photos in Blog entries

I have an odd problem, and really need some help!
I've been posting blog entries with pictures at the end of the text for many months now (over 150 entries), and only recently have run across this problem. After creating a new blog entry, I post the site, and after the site is published, will go to the site and see that the picture in the blog index is fine, but when anyone visits the page of that blog entry, the pictures at the end of the text are gone, and the picture at the start of the blog has a box with an X in it. When I go back into iWeb, the file will either be fine, or will have the X and all of my past posts will have it as well. When I try to re-drag the picture in, it is saying the picture is corrupt. Yet somehow, the next day on the web, the pictures magically appear and all seems fine (after trying to republish several times). This has happened for the past week or so, but seems to be worse as of late.
I don't know if this is because of occassional connection outages (which seem to happen fairly often) and pictures not completely loading, even though iWeb thinks they are, or if this is from problems on the .mac servers, or problems on my computer with iWeb. I've tried quitting and rebooting, which worked the first time or two that this happened, but no longer helps.
It's one thing if iWeb is not working correctly, but if this is now corrupting my photos in iPhoto, this is a serious defect! Apple, PLEASE make the next version more stable - we're I just getting started and seeing this, I would have dumped iWeb, but after 4 months and many many entries, it is not easy to move this to a TypePad or other site.
iMac 24" Mac OS X (10.4.8) MacBook Pro, 5.5G iPod Video, G4 Titanium Powerbook

I'm having this same problem. Is this a known bug?
On my iWeb site, the pictures in my blog keeping getting "corrupted" and are unusable, and the only way I can get iWeb to accet them again is to export them from iPhoto, do a save-as, and re-import them into iPhoto.
Please tell me there is some sort of fix.

Corrupt photos in album, how to save

Hello,
I have put too many photos into iphoto and it has gotten buggy. I already created an album of edited photos, about 500. When I try to export it, it says the files are corrupt.
What is the best way to try to save all that hard work. should I first try to rebuild the iphoto library and then try the fatcat software as suggested before? Will this also work to save the album I made and not just the library?
THANKS!!! (Using iphoto 5.04, imac G5 1.8 mhz 1.5 gb memory, OS 10.4.11)

How big is your HD and how much free space on it?

Corrupt photo in iMovie

Was importing a photo into iMovie 8.0.6 and it crashed. Was never able to get it running so upgraded to 9.0.2. Now the 1st photo in my show has another photo overlaying it. If I delete it, the phantom photo moves over to the next area and still plays. It seems to be imbedded in the timeline somehow.
Any ideas????

I have a similar problem - IMovie 9.0.3. Worked on a 33 minute video for weeks. Now a photo from about 23 minutes into the video pops up during the first transition of the video ... not a very clean beginning to the movie. Must be a bug in the software. If I remove the cross dissolve transition at the beginning then it may go away ... a compromise on quality. Or when the video is complete maybe export as a movie then bring in as a full movie clip ... cut out phantom photo and put the transition in at the beginning ... will the overall quality be as good? Frustrating. I just hope that the movie doesn't get any more corrupted ... like it did a couple of times with iMovie 09.

Corrupt photo library on iphone4

Last week I accesed the camera via the quick select (double-click home button on my locked phone).
Everything word fine until the third picture.
My phone freezes. Power off/on fixed the freez.
But now it seems my "photo library" is corrupt.
Symptoms:
- some photo's are multiplied more than twice
- black photo's
- order of the photo's s completly random
- very blurry photos (looks like lowres)
- iphoto does not recognize photos anymore
- image capture does not recognize photo's
What I tried so far:
- power off/on
- hard reboot
- stopped photo sharing with icloud (photo streaming)
unfortunately without result.
Before I try to do a complete restore I'd like to know if someone recognizes this bug and knows how to fix this.
many thanks in advance!

I'm gonna try this. Because I'm super frustrated. Something similar is happening to my device, I got an unlocked iPhone 4 from the Beverly Center in Los Angeles 3 weeks ago. I'm now on a long business trip in Moscow Russia and all of a sudden my screen statics, a sound of plug being pulled resonates from my iPhone there is some colored lines that slowly engulf the screen and then it goes dim, dark background on the screen but there is a slight light making it all look like the phone didn't shut off, it just bugged out and is now (I guess) just dark. This all happens in a matter of a second.
Then I hold the master restart and get it back working, sometimes after a few tries, because sometimes five master resets still don't bring it back to life, the white Apple over the dark background appears but then the phone is off again without ever coming back on.
Sometimes it happens when I browse FB or I'm on Linkedin, but first it started happening after taking a picture with the Camera (After like using the Camera for almost 3 weeks prior). Every time I took a picture this happened. Then it moved to other programs, like I would turn on the music and same thing would happen, just goes dark-dim. Now its mainly happening while using applications, mainly FB, the ABBEY Card Reader (Camera) and even Virtuoso Piano. Also sometimes when I charge the phone through a plug it always does that the second I plug the cable into the phone. Same thing if I use the USB and connect it to my MacBook Pro (2008). I mean *** is going on, I couldnt buy and unlocked iPhone for 6 months, and when I finally was back in States and had the chance to do it, this CRAP happens I FEEL FRUSTRATED AND DEPRESSED ISNT THE IPHONE 4 SUPPOSE TO BE the toughest and most reliable phone ever to hit the planet? Why is this crap happening to me while I'm away?
PLUS THEIR SALES REP AT BEVERLY CENTER SHAWN MCDANIEL LIED TO ME by TELLING ME THAT THE APPLECARE+ (Which I purchased for an extra 100) will take care of even 2 trade in if (PRECICELY CRAP LIKE THIS) something happens to it. THATS PRETTY MUCH WHAT HE SAID, and then when I told him that I'll be in Moscow, OH SURE THEY HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE AND APPLECARE+ IS WORLDWIDE.
So then I call Apple Care, both the specialist and the supervisor sound like kids who were given a superjob. They don't sound like intelligent techy people and soon I understand why. Long story short, I got no clarify wether there is an official Russian Apple representative or not, I wasn't offered mail-in repair, I was only told that looks like the nearest Apple store to me is in Poland or London so I should have someone fly there (that means I won't be with my contact book for at least a week or two) or go there myself (thx I just got an $800 phone and I should get another 300-500 EURO ticket to London just to make the iPhone purchase complete) ***.
(For those who enjoyed reading so far read below, if this information is enough for you to help clue me in I'd appreciate it, if you want to read more interesting stuff read below).
Wait I can't make the story short I have to tell you - so the first lady sounds like a 16 year blond from the heart of Hollywood, and she tells me to do a backup, doesnt tell me how I should transfer my contacts that I had transferred into my phone from my old Samsung galaxy, xfer them into my MacBook at which they've never been. We did a full restore after saving a backup (hoping that my contacts would stay in tact) , then we found out the restore didnt fix it, as I went and took a picture this thing happened. Then I said the heck with it I need my old backup with the apps and my contacts, so I initiated that backup and then the contacts didnt xfer in, and I was shocked, literally, 1500+ contacts destroyed by Apple. So then she passed me on to her supervisor who was the one who didnt tell me anything substantial except simple troubleshooting procedures. He told me to go into a Russian iPhone Reseller and it will be at their full discretion wether they would exchange my phone for a new one or not comply to AppleCare since apperantly it doesnt work with them and nearest apple stores are in London or Poland. So whatever, I then afrer finishing my exactly (Skype call)
11/5/11 4:52 AM Call Ended 3 hours 12 minutes 39 seconds, I, saddened, saw that in my iTunes backups I have two more backs from an earlier time, so I backed up to one of those and it xfer everything the contacts and apps! It was just enough time for me to download ExcelContact and e-mail my contacts to my gmail before this thing started happening again. My phone works now, but this thing happens now every few hours randomly and I'm outraged.
Please if anyone experienced such a problem and could help me fix this (I will try the technique explained above), please help me.
Thx
