Pictures burn as Thumbnails to CD

The other day I decided to burn some of my pictures off of iPhoto over to a Blank CD-R, the burn went well, but the problem I ran into was, the pictures burnt as small thumbnails. This doesn't make sense as in the burn options I selected Full Size Images, and the pictures in my iPhoto library are not thumbnails, but are quality 5 MP images.

Hi Justin,
Have you tried to export images to a folder on your desktop and then copy onto CD? This option has worked everytime for me...

How can I get the edited pictures from the thumbnails to full size?

I upgraded to iPhoto 11, the thumbnail photos show my previous edits, but when I click on the photo to make it bigger, it reverts back to the unedited, original picture. How can I get the edited pictures from the thumbnails to full size?

Verify you are using iPhoto11 ver 9.5
if not run the >Software update or check your apps folder and make sure the correct iPhoto is launched, not an older ver.

Once I fix the thumbnail pictures in iPhoto, how do I make them stay fixed. Everytime I turn the computer back on iPhoto goes directly back to having 1 picture for all thumbnails.

I have been having problems with the thumbnail pictures in iPhoto. It will typically show 1 picture for all thumbnails. I have figured out how to repair the thumbnail pictures, but everytime the computer is shut down, the thumbnail pics revert back to 1 picture for all.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
how do you fix the thumbnailsd?
what other fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

I've lost my photos (crashed hdd, iPhoto library on Time Machine corrupt too). Is there a way to create a picture from the thumbnail that remains in iPhoto? The quality is obviously poor, but better than nothing.

Time machine should have a good copy - how are you determining that it is corrupt
If you want the thumbnails as photos right click on the iPhoto library and make a copy of the data folder and then import it into a new iPhoto library - it contains your thumbnails

Can't open folders to show pictures as large thumbnails permanently.

Can't open folders to show pictures as large thumbnails permanently.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm running Windows 7 on a PC, using Photoshop Elements 7
It used to be I could open a picture folder from Elements (File>Open) and instruct the files to show themselves as large or extra large icons (View>Large icons), I would then open one or more and edit them, go back to the original folder to open another and still see the files as large icons or whatever I'd chosen before.
I can no longer do that - as soon as I come back to the folder, all the files have reverted to List view. I then have to go back to the View options. On the other hand, if I open the same folders from Windows Explorer they all show as large icons, as I've chosen to view them, and they remain so for as often as I open the folder.
I bought a brand new copy of Elements 11 and installed on the same computer (after uninstalling El 7), believing that maybe my copy of Elements 7 was corrupt. But the same conditions obtained with El 11. I un-installed El 11 (didn't like it, too cluttered for me) and have re-installed 7.
I've picked up a couple of viruses along the way which I get rid of mostly by restoring the system to a previous state. I installed a trial version of Norton while El 7 was working properly and later uninstalled it, believing maybe it had something to do with the subsequent misbehavior of El 7.
I've noticed a couple of other quirks; after I click File>Open the window with my picture folders opens maximized, it used to be I could re-size it but not any more, even though the mouse pointer turns into double arrows along the edges and corners. Also, when I clicked on Save the pointer immediately defaulted to the Save box, but not so any more.
Any help would be appreciated.

Issues with using my iPhoto library on my external hard drive. Very slow to open and pictures disappear in thumbnail view.

I have recently transferred my iPhoto Library to my external hard drive (WD MyBook Live) and have some questions. Since I have done this and used the "alt + option" to select it as my default library I have been having some issues. When using the library on the external drive as my default drive it takes a very long time to load compared to when it was on my macbook's hard drive. Is this normal? Also, once it does load the thumbnails are only viewable when scrolling quickly through the photos and they are very blurry. However, if I were to select one randomly (because of this problem I have no way of knowing which one I'm selecting) it brings it up in the edit view and it is a crystal clear picture.
Is there a way to fix these issues? I'd love to be able to use the iPhoto Library off the external drive to free up space on my macbook but if it isn't going to work as streamlined as it would on my macbook hard drive. I have not yet deleted the original iPhoto Library from my macbook because I did not want to do so until I knew the new iPhoto library on the external drive was working properly. Does this make a difference?
Please help!

The problem lies with occasional dropouts that can corrupt the library's database files if they are being written to as the time of dropout. It's the nature of wireless networks. If you have a very strong signal throughout and are willing to take a chance then go for it.
But as for the speed, it must be iPhoto 11 and it's complexity causing the slowness. I had tried using a library on an EHD connected to my iMac from my laptop wirelessly with iPhoto 7 or 8 and it was pretty fast. I think it was 7 before faces and places came into being.
Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to improve wireless performance, etc.

Duplicates and triplicat pictures burn on cd

after editing downloaded pics. i burn on cd . when i go to print from cd i have several copies of pictures. several are not clear and seem fuzzy

HI tombstone,
Is this the procedure you are using to burn the CD?
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company

When i recieve a incoming call on my iphone 4s the size of the contact picture is full screen how do i get the picture to display thumbnail size

when recieving a incoming call the full size contact pic assigned to the contact displays how can i cahnge it to thubnail size while displaying the wallpaper at the same time?please help!!!

Dear arob615,
Reduce the resolution.
The picture will display as thumbnail on the phone when a call comes in.
Since Mountain Lion I had full screen caller pictures even when assigned in the OS X adress book.
In my case I reduced the picture to 64 x 64 pixels.
Then it showed as thumbnail as calls came in.
I don't know where the exact maximum pixel size for thumbnail display is.
If you find out, tell us.
This bugged me a long time and I would enjoy if this could help you.
Best regards

Bug in 2.1: Moving pictures leaves stale thumbnail

This used to happen a lot with the original Lightroom Beta, but
rarely happened after the 2.1 RC.
It has happened three times with 2.1 final when moving pictures from a folder into a sibling, aka from:
g:\pics\unpro into
g:\pics\misc
But it doesn't always happen. Same symptom as before - the thumbnails don't get refreshed unless you restart lightroom.
It hasn't happened yet when moving pictures to a different drive.
- Frank

It happened again and I did some experimentation.
It does not always happen, but it is repeatable. I've now
reproduced it about 8 times.
Move one picture from one folder to another. Repeat until it happens.
I did a 'Relaunch and Rebuild' and then restarted Lightroom, and I had to move about 20 pictures (one by one) before it reoccurred.
What I am doing is dragging a picture from G:\pics\unpro into g:\pics\steve. I haven't done any changes to the pictures, I'm just organizing them a bit.
When the problem occurs, I notice the following:
I can see the moved picture in both folders, as if I had copied the picture, rather than moved it. Once I restart lightroom it is only in the correct folder.
On the disk, the picture is correctly in the new folder, and does
not exist in the original folder.
Let me know if you want me to try anything else.
- Frank

Problem Viewing Pictures Burned on CD

I burned multiple tif photo files onto a cd using Windows XP several years ago. Now, when I try to view those photos on my macbook, only some of the files are viewable. It shows every file, but some of the files are not are grey and not accessible. Any help would be much appreciated.

The disc was burnt in 2006 using software that converts slides into tiff files. I have accessed these files before with no problems, but lately when I try to use my macbook to pull them up only a few are available. I have tried to pull the pictures up on windows computers, my mac which has tiger, and a mac that has snow leopard. They all don't have access to the same pictures. Keep in mind that in the past I have been able to view these pictures with no problems.

Pictures burned to CD

My computer won't let me burn pictures to a disc. I have pushed the icon that says Share, then burn to disc, then select all. Now I don't see anything to start burning to my CD R disc. Can someone help this Grammi?
I have a 700-027c Envy HP Product No. H5P80AA#ABA System Memory 12GB DDR3 Windows 8

Hi,
It may burn at the end, at this stage it keeps elsewhere. If you need to burn immediatley you can use Cyberlink software called Power2Go which is on your mchine. Please try:
Hit Win key, locate Cyberlink, click Power2Go.

Lost all pictures - Just have thumbnails of all!

I was hoping someone could help me....I lost all my photos and somehow only have thumbnails of all of them! I spoke to someone at the support center but they told me that I lost all my pictures. Does anyone know ANY way of either getting these pictures back or converting my thumbnails into actual pictures? Thank you!

Hey jenn and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
First stop using your computer.
Using the computer can overwrite the files containing your pictures.
Go here:
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
and download the demo of Data Rescue 3.
I have DR 2 and just accidentally erased a hard drive I was working on. It took hours but DR 2 found all the files.
Run the extended search.
Once it's done look for your pics. Were they in jpeg format? If you find them you can download 5 MB of them. If you see that it works you then buy DR3 and you'll receive an activation code that will allow you to retrieve everything.
Good Luck.
Richard

Lightroom 2.4 - Won't display pictures in preview thumbnail and main panel

I've included a picture so you get what i mean?
I'm currently using lightroom 2.4 which i've upgraded from 2.2 (2.2 actually had this problem so i decided to bite the bullet and upgrade but it didn't help my problem). I tried creating a new catalogue, importing a new photo, syncronising the folders, optimising the catalogue and re-installing lightroom 2.4. I also restored my computer to a couple of days ago. I know it worked a couple of days ago so im not sure exactly whats happening here.
I've opened up other photo editing programs to see if i can view the photos and yes I can.
I know in lightroom when i go to print or web or slideshow it will show the picture but I just don't understand what i can do to resolve this problem. I tried searching on google and its driving me up the wall.
I hope someone knows whats going on here!
Regards

sorry Ian and kwdaves. yeah I'm using windows vista on my laptop updated to the latest Service pack (2)
I'll have a look at that faq and having said that. for some reason it was on YCC Profiles? that may have been due to me using a pdfcreator program the other day.. I feel stupid i changed it to adobeRGB (1998) as shown in solution 2 on http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402376.html
thanks a lot guys. you both helped immensely and I can actually get a good nights rest.
You guys rock

In PS and AI in CS2, when I open a picture folder, the thumbnail images are inverted

I recently D/L installed CS 2 on my Windows 7 desktop. Thanks Adobe, it's great for me.
However, when I open a folder in PS or AI to select an image, the thumbnails in the folder are inverted.
Strangely, this doesn't happen on my Windows 7 laptop.
Can anyone suggest a fix? It's annoying when I have many images to search thru.
Thanks, Dan

Does the file actually open in Adobe Reader or is it opening in something else (I would tend to guess the latter)?

IPhoto version 4 wont open pictures burned on CD using version 5?

i have a G5 iSight PowerPC and my girlfriend a G4 ibook (2004). I downloaded our vacation pics from my camera to my G5 using iPhoto v5.0.4 and accidentally erased my camera's memory card after the download. So - I thought I'd burn a disc with the new photos and then import them onto her G4 (which uses iPhoto v 4.0.3). Everytime I insert the photo disc into the G4 I get a message saying iPhoto cannot open album as it was created using a later version of iPhoto.
I'm stuck since she cannot get our vacation pics onto her computer ! Can anyone help? Thanks in advance..
iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.7) compatibility, versions, iPhoto v4 , v5
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

iPhoto 5 is perfectly capable of exporting photos to a folder on your desktop. Just drag the selected images from iPhoto to the target folder. Burn that folder to a CD, and you can share it with anyone who has a computer with a functioning CD drive.
