Photos are suddenly all displaying as solid black images in slideshow

All my computer photos show correctly on the TV screen as thumbnails. When I click on one photo or click on slideshow, they all show up as solid black. As thumbnails they are normal pictures. Has been fine until today.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start by restarting the Apple TV, if that doesn't help renew the link to your photos in iTunes > advanced.

After all the updates (itunes 10.6, iphone 5.1, and iphoto) all my photos are suddenly being synced with my iPhone.

After all the updates (itunes 10.6, iphone 5.1, and iphoto) all my photos are suddenly being synced with my iphone. Before I was able to pick the "last 12 months" or last import, or certain album. Now everything is greyed out?

After deleting files, there does not seem much improvement on the disk space.
Felicia,
Download Omni Disk Sweeper: it is free now and will list your files and folders sorted by size.
But don't get carried away and sweep and delete anything that you do not know what is is required for:

I recovered from time machines's backup harddisk
Time Machine may be using the disk space - if you have Time Machine enabled and not the backup drive connected, TM will make local snapshots, if you have free disk space. See Pondini's webpage for more information: Time Machine - Questions 30. What are Local Snapshots?
I disable these local snapshots on my portable macs, to be sure, how much space really is free.

All exports from Aperture appear as a solid black image

I am having issues exporting photos from Aperture - any photo export I make turns out solid black.
I have been using aperture for years with no problem - and all of a sudden I am having issues today. Whichever way I try to export - whether it is file and export, or sharing through facebook - the image comes out a solid black. An additional (related) issue is that when I edit a photo (crop, cimple color adjust etc.) the image then appears the same solid black in the browser. If I double click on the image I can see it again (most of the time - there are a couple I am unable to see).
I took the shots with my Nikon D7000, imported them to my iPad, and then into aperture (which has always worked in the past).
I have run all updates on Aperture, my mac, and checked other forums but can't find any solutions.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Hey leonieDF
Thanks for your reply. I am exporting edited versions - export seems to work OK when exporting originals. But all my images are edited a bit, even if just simple cropping etc.
I tried adjusting the color sync profile as you suggested but this didn't help. I also adjusted the gamma and watermark and again, no change.
It seems like I have some kind of bug or something within Aperture, because it is doing all kind of strange things, like now eny time I edit a photo at all it appears solid black in my "browse" view (but OK when I double click it). Similarly, when I duplicate a photo it does random funky stuff to the photo in browse view (from being solid black, to solid red, to appeairng to have some random color filter, to appearing like static from static TV). These issues are all secondary though from the main issue of not being able to export images, since I have a friends wedding photos I am trying to get out to them!
Any other ideas of what might be causing this?
Thanks for your help!

My photos are in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go back to their correct albums?

iTunes is placing my photos in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go to their correct albums?

Nevermind. I just renamed the folder on my mac and synced it again and everything is now in its proper place.

What are correct settings on iCloud to make sure photos are on all devices?

What are correct settings on iCloud to make sure photos are on all devices?

If your Westell modem (actually, it is likely a gateway...a combination modem/router) is set up for "PPP is on the modem", then the AEBS should be configured to Connect Using = DHCP or Ethernet. The AEBS also needs to be configured in Bridge Mode.
Open AirPort Utility, click on the AEBS, and click Edit
Click the Internet tab and change to setting to "Connect Using DHCP"
Then click the Network tab and set the Router Mode for "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Update to save changes and restart the network by powering everything off in any order that you want. Then start the Westell device first, followed by the AEBS a minute later, etc until everything is powered back up.
This type of setup may work OK for you.
If not, you will need to change the Westell setup to "PPP is on the router" and then configure the AEBS to provide the PPPoE service as you did originally.
AT&T does generally advise that the modem should be in "Bridge Mode" or "PPP is on the router" when other routers are used with the "modem". See this document for more info:

I noticed the bright spots on the ipad retina display in a black image. Used only 2 weeks.is it normal?

I noticed the bright spots on the ipad retina display in a black image. Used only 2 weeks.is it normal?

No its not normal. I'm not sure how big these bright spots are, but it could be a hardware problem. Without more details, I would suggest that you take it to an Apple Store or take it back to wherever you bought it and let the, evaluate the iPad.

I have iTunes 10.5 and a 4g iPod touch. WHen I upgraded to 5.01, my photos are not all in the correct folders. Any ideas?

When I load my photos on my 4g ipod touch with iOS 5.01, the photos are there but not all in the correct folders. How can I correct that?

I spent last week looking for a solution to that little yellow "!" needle haystack....
It is probably buried where nothing can touch or change it other than what I resorted to and would have saved time, clean install after I made sure to have two backup sets: Windows Easy Transfer plus Paragon clone OS and partitions to drive. Had to spend a full day reinstalling, updates, etc. Careful not to bring back any prefs or data that might be corrupt or wrong.
10.5 and iOS 5 on new iPod 4G works much better though and as they should and no issues like I had with AMS or other services or needing to restart first before launching iTunes.

Iphoto 08. Event photos are not all visible under "photos"

I have a number of photos that are visible when I look for them by event. However, when I switch to photo view they are not there. Any recommendations?

Events and photos are simply different ways of viewing the same iPhoto library
Do you have "event titles" turned on in the photos view so you can verify this?
My guess is that the photos view has event titles turned off and that the photos your are "missing" are simply sorted somewhere different than you expect

Videos are suddenly all blurry? On new 4s

I used to love the videos I did with my old 3Gs. They looked great. Now I have a new 4s and all the videos are lagging/blurry/out of focus????
Does anyone knows why?
Is there something I can do to fix this?
if not... is it possible to keep using my old 3gs as camera only? and still sync it, without problems?

I have that problem along with a fish eye look to my video at times. I don't know if this is something caused by image stabilization software or what? I've lately taken the time to do side by side comparrisons with my old 720p flip video and the flip video unfortunately is beating the 4s as far as quality goes, hands down. I'm a litlle dissapointed in this but I guess I have to keep in mind that is a cell phone camera...I no longer rely on my 4s to take video I want to do something with...Good luck with the 3Gs, I would think that if you associate that device with iTunes you should be okay...but I'm no expert.

Suddenly all display and icons changed color

I turned on my MacBook Pro this morning and the display color turned to an egg-yolk yellow. How do I get it back to the way it originally was. I did not install anything new or change any defaults since I purchase it in May of this year. Did something break or what?? Everything is gray or black now. I need major help!!!

You can go into System Preferences, Display, Color, and see if any of the profiles bring it back. If not, I suspect the video card might have issues.

Some of my photos are not displayed in events. The event is there and still named but photos won't display. Suggestions?

Some of my photos are suddenly not showing inside the event. The event is still present as well as the title and number of photos in the event, but the photo is not showing. I get a black thumbnail with a dashed white box inside it. Any suggestions? It has not happened in all events, only a handful.
Thanks

That's an indication that the link/file path to the original file has been broken. Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library 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.

Photos in iPhoto from my photostream are showing up as black images (not pictures).

I have been experiencing issues with my iPhoto in the past few weeks and photostream. My photostream on my phone has all of my photos intact, however, on my macbook pro about 90% of the photos in my photostream show up as black images/boxes. Included below is a picture of what my "photos" from my photostream look like on my computer. I have also experienced issues with iPhoto running very slowly/almost being unresponsive. I have iPhoto v9.3 and OS 10.7.4. Any help is appreciated!

If I click on one of the black boxes it opens a larger view of the box as if it is a photo and gives you all of the editing options that are usually displayed. I've included a screenshot of how this appears in case the visual explanation is clearer than my verbal one. If you look at the bottom of it too you will notice that there are maybe three or four photos along the bottom reel that are intact but the rest are black boxes. I have also included another screen shot of my photo stream that shows these black boxes with a normal photo.

How do I Maintain the Order Photos Are Displayed When Burning a DVD

I have created an album from several different events. I want to burn this album to a DVD for a presentation. When I do this, the photos are reorganized and displayed by date/time and separated into two different groups. How can I burn a DVD that maintains the order of photos in the album?
Thanks,
Peter

Yay! I finally found out how to keep the photos in your albums in the correct order when you export the album! I am fortunate to have AppleCare so I decided to call them after trying to figure this out for years.
The fellow on the phone said he'd had others call about this and that he and a caller figured it out, trial and error. I suggested they add it to the user guide for the rest of us!
Here you go:
1. Select your album and all the photos in it.
2. Go to Export under File
3. Change File Name option to Sequential
4. Where it says "Prefix for Sequential" type in the exact name of your album.
That's it! When you hit Export, the photos stay in perfect order! Yay!

When drawing with polygon tool, a solid black rectangle appears??

When I use the polygon tool to draw, a mysterious black rectangle appears underneath, and grows with my cursor movement, obscurring whatever is underneath. The black shape has nothing to do with the shape I'm creating. I am tracing boundary locations on a map, for example, and the black shape blocks out the lines I'm trying to trace, if my opacity is set at 100%. It mimics the opacity I'm using to draw. I never saw this in AA7. Why would anyone want this function, and is there a way to turn it off?
