Photos keep appearing the wrong way round in slideshow!

Photos which I imported from my old macbook (running 10.4) onto my new imac (10.5.8) keep appearing the wrong way round or stretched out when I play them as part of a slideshow even though in the library they appear fine. Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?
Thanks

Yes the plist file is important, but next time you start iPhoto it will create a brand new one.
This file records various user settings - like the background colour, for instance. If you trash it then when iPhoto re-creates it it simply returns things to the factory default settings.
Trashing the plist file is troubleshooting 101.
Also don't understand what you mean by "If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again"
By default, your iPhoto Library lives in your Pictures Folder. That's where iPhoto looks for it. If you've moved the Library - and I'm guessing you haven't - then you need to tell iphoto where you moved it to. Why? Because that's a setting recorded in the plist file.

  • HT4111 Logitech K810 UK layout problem with @ and " being the wrong way round.

    I have tried this keyboard on Windows 7 devices and they work just fine, but on IOS7, either the first version or the version released today, it remains the wrong way around - i.e. US spec.

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the same keyboard when I start up and hold the ALT key you can select a startup disk this is not working by my keyboard when I use a old keyboard I'ts working again do you have that problem also.
    Best regards Garry

  • The "@" and the " are the wrong way round? how do I change it

    When using the keyboard and press the key for @ you end up with " and visa versa, so you press " you end up with @, anyone know why, this is a new Imac and I an new to Apple.

    There are lots of different keyboard layouts depending on which country you are in. For instance, if I am using a US keyboard and I use the Language and Text system preference pane to switch my Input Source to German then I end up with the " when I press the key that has the '@' on it. Other characters also don't match up right.
    The first step is to determine which keyboard you physically have, then compare it to the various virtual keyboard layouts available. I suggest opening the Language & Text System Preferences, and enable the Keyboard & Character View option in the Input Sources section. This will add a small icon to the upper right section of your menu bar next to the date/time. The Keyboard Viewer acts like a virtual keyboard which you can then compare to the actual keyboard you are typing on. Verify that the 'Input Sources' information is properly configured for your style keyboard and language. If you somehow ended up with the wrong keyboard then I would give Apple a call.

  • Trackpoint issues on T60 - keeps pushing the wrong way after use

    Hi,
    I have had this issue with another Lenovo laptop, too, but my current laptop is a T60.
    Sometimes (unpredictably), I may move the Trackpoint into one direction to move the mouse cursor, and as soon as I let go, the mouse cursor moves in the opposite direction for about 2 seconds or so.
    This is highly annoying and disruptive.
    Any idea what could cause this?
    This has happened ever since I bought the laptop (new), so it should not be a matter of "worn out".
    Is there anything I can do about this?
    Thanks!

    Yes, don't rest your finger on it unless you're actually moving the pointer.  It senses pressure and tries to recalibrate.

  • Smart quotes sometimes wrong way round after a question mark or comma

    I'm finding that Pages frequently puts the direction of the final smart quote in a piece of dialogue the wrong way round.  I use a single speech mark (apostrophe) at start and finish of speech.  This seems to happen most after a question mark or comma.  Anyone know why, or how to fix it?  Doesn't happen in Word!  Thanks.

    Which language is your computer set to?
    Have you set the system preferences for smart quotes?

  • Keyboard symbols wrong way round

    My " and @ are the wrong way round. When I opened keyboard prefs I had an option to change keyboard so I did it then asked me to press the button next to shift then offered three types, I picked european as thats where I am but still no go. And now the option tot change the keyboard has gone from system prefs entirely.
    Its a basic logitech keyboard and the awesomely bad logitech software does not even see the keyboard.
    Any ideas?

    Go to system prefs/language & text/input sources and see if there is a box to check for Logitech UK.
    Which key do you want the @ to be on exactly? Mac and PC Brtish keyboards are different.

  • HT201317 How do I get photos from my I phone onto my I pad? Photo stream seems to be transferring from my I pad to phone but not the other way round.

    How do I get photos from my I phone onto my I pad? Photo stream works I pad to I phone but not the other way round?

    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • My iPad 2 screen has turned a weird colour. The background is black and the letters are white instead of the other way round and colour photos look like negatives. How do I change it back.

    My IPad screen has turned a weird colour, the background is white and the letters white instead of the other way round.  Colour photos look like negatives. How can I turn it back to a white background.

    Dear Steve,
    You are wonderful! You are the best! I'm Stephania and I recently purchased a refurbished ipad2. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and updating & fixing it so my liking. The only thing that I couldn't correct were the photos that looked like negatives. Every photo, even on the internet, on apps, everywhere! I just couldn't figure out how to fix it. I contacted Apple Care and its too difficult to get in touch with them. I had looked through support before but didn't put in the right question. Well, today I got lucky. I did the two things you suggested and turning the "White On Black" off did the trick. I'm so happy! I had a feeling it was something simple and this is not even in the manual!

    Required password for itunes keeps pop up on my kid's ipad constantly nonstop. So i put in password and then it keeps appear the confirm purchased pop up. I clicked on cancel a thousand times but it keeps popup right after i clicked cancel. Tried so hard to deleted the game and sign out the itune because the popup appeared right the way, but nothing works, i also tried to reset the ipad 5 times but the itune sign in requied keep pop up that i can't do anything else, after sign in, the in-app purchased confirm pop up again over and over and over right after i clicked canceled and the game is already deleted from my ipad. I have had too much problems since i updated an ipad, i have to reset an ipad many times every time i download an app. Help please.

    I am having similar problems with iPad 3 freezing.  It was fine before upgrade to IOS 8.  Ready to throw it out!!  No one has any answers other than the norm.  Quite often have to hold power and home key down, which doesn't solve the problem.  It just unfreezes the situation you are in.  Wish this would be solved with the IOS 8!!  Should have never upgraded, but never had a problem with Apple software before.  Getting to feel like I am back with Windows.

  • Dialog box: "you removed the device the wrong way"

    iMac + 30 gig iPod. New Mac user here.
    Everytime I start iTunes (by plugging in my iPod), I get the dialog box telling me that I removed my iPod the wrong way and may have lost data. How can I get that dialog box to stop showing up?
    By the way, I always hit the little eject button next to my iPod's name before unplugging it from my computer. Not sure why this keeps popping up. It started after I updated to the latest iTunes software.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well, at the time I was leaving for college. There, I met a girl who inconveniently dragged me around the country for fifteen years. But we're moving to Boston this summer, so we're getting closer.
    I had a similar issue a while ago, and fixed it by just wiping my iPod, doing a Software Restore, and re-syncing it with my library. It wasn't exactly the same (iTunes thought the iPod was connected even when it wasn't), but if something on the iPod is stuck in "I was disconnected improperly!" mode it might help.

  • I have a MacBook 13-inch, Late 2009, I'd like to get a cable to connect a monitor.  However I keep order the wrong part.  Can somebody tell me what part I need.

    I have a MacBook 13-inch, Late 2009, I'd like to get a cable to connect a monitor.  However I keep order the wrong part.  Can somebody tell me what part I need.

    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book.  Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

    I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book.  (and on my iPhone as well)  Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

    The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
    If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

    Try plugging it into a computer with iTunes opened. If you see anything that says restore, say no.
    Sometimes these issues resolve themselves when you connect the device to iTunes.
    What happens when you hold the home and sleep/wake button? I know it doesn't work, but does it shut off at all?
