Pictures rotate or disappears by from the book I´m creating!

I have made a few photo books in iPhoto before, no problems. When I´m now creating a new book some photos in the book rotate all by their selves and some photos just disappear! I correct them and after a few minutes other photos disappears! Please help!

No.  And to assure that they don't is why we suggest backing up the library beforehand if you don't already have a current backup copy. Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions.
3 - if that doesn't fix the issue repeat the process and this time select Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • More and more photos progressively disappearing from the Book

    Hi,
    Please help me! I've invested a ton of time into this book and am hoping that someone can have a fix instead of me doing the book over. I've bought Apeture for the next time I do one, but please, please tell me there is something that can be done to fix this!
    I uploaded about 700 photos to my library. Some of the photos came from the same camera and thus had the same names. I assumed this would be okay as I figured that iPhoto would append something to the name/not use the file name as the key/or however this thing works. I've also posted this as a bug and have tried all the things the genius bar people told me to do/had them do some of the things for me, though this didn't help.
    Basically, after importing the photos, I put them in an album, sorted them, and deleted some of them, then I made a Book with about 170 photos in it, about 60 pages long, with several intro pages in there. During this process, I weeded out more photos from the book - I started out with more pictures then 170 and I got down to 170 by looking to see which look nicer in the layout and deleting the ones that were not as nice, just from the book, not from the album. I've also emptied my trash since then, both in iPhoto and in the trash on the macbookpro, to make room for the back up library later, to try to fix the problem as below.
    Symptoms:
    1. Thumbnail images in Book above page display when in page mode not updating the text on intro pages for days on end, despite a restart of the app, computer, rebuilding library, etc.
    2. Pictures are progressively disappearing from my Book
    Pages not updating - Thumbnail shows a page filled with pictures when in page mode, but when you are looking at the page itself, below the thumbnails, the picture is missing
    3. The pictures in the thumbnails and the pictures on the pages when in page mode went missing - in both places
    4. When you try to drag a picture that has disappeared into the book from the album, it "bounces back" - thinks that it's already in there. When you make a duplicate, you can drag the duplicate in (and this has been my pathetic workaround, which I am hoping not to do if you have something better!) And in any case, this is a bug and you should be able to replicate it by uploading pics with the same name, then moving some into the trash with the same name but a different photo then those in the book.
    Anyway, I think that what's happening is that the Book is "confused" and thinks that the pictures deleted have been moved to the trash, when they really have not, they just have the same name. Somehow, the book is possibly ignoring the _copy that it's supposed to have in the name. Good grief! Help!

    Ben:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Thumbnail shows a page filled with pictures when in page mode, but when you are looking at the page itself, below the thumbnails, the picture is missing
    What do you see if you try to view one of those "missing" image in the main library in the edit mode? Do you see a blank window with an exclamation mark in the middle?
    If that's the case, that means that iPhoto has lost the link to the original file. Since you've rebuild the library and that didn't bring them back, I'm afraid your only option is to start over with a new library and import the original files from the old one as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
    Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
    In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
    Hint: I create a separate library for each book that I create using iPhoto Library Manager. Then, like you, I put all of the photos I think I want into an album in my primary library and copy it to the book library with iPLM. I can add more at a later date the same way if necessary.
    When the book is complete, ordered and delivered I burn that book library folder intact to a CD in the Finder. This gives me an archived copy of the library that I can use at a later date to order another exact copy of the book regardless of what I do to my primary library.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Script needed to generate a list of paragraph and character styles from the Book Level

    Hello,
    I am using FrameMaker 11 in the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 and I need to find a script that will generate a list
    of paragraph and character styles from the book level.
    I am working with unstructured FrameMaker books, but will soon be looking at getting a conversion table developed
    that will allow me to migrate all my data over to Dita (1.1 for now).
    Any thoughts, ideas on this is very much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    I think the problem you are having with getting a response is that you are asking someone to write a script for you. Normally, you would have to pay someone for this, as it is something that folks do for a living.
    Nonetheless, I had a few minutes to spare, so I worked up the following script that I believe does the job. It is very slow, clunky, and totally non-elegant, but I think it works. It leverages the book error log mechanism which is built in and accessible by scripts, but is spendidly unattractive. I hope this gives you a starting point. It could be made much more beautiful, of course, but such would take lots more time.

    Hi guys,
    Is there an example anywhere for Labview 8.6 for loading a picture control with png image from the web?

    Hi lavalava,
    here you find a note on how to load pictures from the internet. After grabbing the data you could save them to a file, load the file with the picture file functions and then convert it into the image datatype to feed a picture indicator with the data...

  • HT4623 SOMEHOW the icon for rotation lock is missing from the control bar. I tried to reset but my passcode doesn't work. First, how do I find my passcode? Then, if I reset, will it return the rotation lock to the control bar?

    I don't know how it happened why, but the icon for rotation lock is missing from the control bar. Second problem, the passcode for my iPad isn't working. I wrote it down, so not sure what the problem is. HELP

    If the setting for the rotation lock is missing it is because you are using the side switch to control the rotation in Settings>General>Use Side Switch to>Lock Rotation. The software switch in the control center should be for Muting system sounds.
    you have to restore the iPad in orde to unlock it now.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong ...
    If you are sure that you are entering the correct passcode, reboot the iPad and then try again and see if it is accepted.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Lightroom stalls on trying to export from the book module

    Lightroom stalls on trying to export from the book module to either PDF or Blurb. Progress bar at the top left just shows "Exporting book...rendering cover.untitled DNG". I have even tried a single page low resolution book but no difference. This happened in Lightroom 4 and still after upgrading to Lightroom 5. I have tried I have tried also unchecking all the background options.

    When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
    I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
    This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File. 
    BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

  • Missing pages from the book

    I purchased a book, but I can only read and see the images of the first 12 pages. I originally downloaded the sample, then purchased the whole book, but the rest of the book hasn't loaded. How can I get the rest of it? I have tried restarting my computer, deleting the book and then re-downloading it from the cloud. What else should I do?

    I have the same issue, except mine was there about 2 hrs ago, but when I was trying to put some of my books back into iTunes I force quit the process com.apple.BKAgentService (bc doing so helped everybody else with the issue I was having) somehow all of the content from the book got lost except for the first 12 pages. I'm freaking out bc it's a textbook for college. I deleted it like you did and tried redownloading it, but nothing has helped, including restarting my computer and even doing a disk repair. GRRRRRR! HELP US!

    You can not load magazines to the bookshelf.  Some magazines go there automatically and can not be placed elsewhere.  Other magazines do not go there and can not be moved there.  It all depends on the relationship between the publisher and Apple.

  • My (saved) book totally disappeared from the Book module in Lightroom

    Dear +Adobe Photoshop Lightroom,
    I have been working for the past 100 hours or so on a 200+ page book in the book module in LR4.
    Went to work on a second book that I had just begun to organize and came back to a full filmstrip (including the usage numbers showing me that all of the images had been used including a tiny 2 for a cover image) and the 4 blank pages we all see upon starting a project.
    My entire book was gone. Poof!
    I'm surprised you didn't hear my scream all the way in San Jose.
    This couldn't be...I had officially saved the book several weeks ago when I first began it and had been working on it steadily ever since.
    (For the record, I am working on a Mac OS X v10.7.5 and updated LR to v4.2.)
    I can't begin to tell you the sick feeling over losing this amount of work.
    I went to your LR forums to see if this was unique to me (Did I inadvertently hit a button I shouldn't have?)
    I have always felt very confidant in LR's "saving" and "backup" abilities. Now I am devastated and have lost total confidence.
    Do I try again in LR or move to another program?
    So a friend helped me find these:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4303611
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4322352
    (Which I've read very thoroughly and tried everything suggested.)
    When I opened my most recent backup of LR, all the text was missing and many of the images were in color (this is a book of monochrome imagery)
    Huh?
    When I went into my Time Capsule backups, same thing.
    No text and many images were reset to original RAW files as if no post-processing had been done.
    Huh? (Again)
    The thing that is genuinely unsettling is Adobe's lack of response to the issues expressed in the forums.
    Surely the book making ability is an important one to your audiences?
    Did I mention how sick I am over this?
    So my question is this...can you help me? Can anyone there help me?
    Because I really need help right now and don't want to lose confidence in a company that has always provided me with the tools I make my living from.
    Or should I put this out publicly.
    Right now I want to scream "Do not under any circumstances make a book using the book module in LR 4 until this devastating issue is addressed!!!"
    (Fortunately, I have over 2,000,000 followers here on Google+ but not to worry...many do not speak English or know Adobe as anything more than material used to build huts.)
    I am trying to stay reasonable. But again, I am very concerned over the lack of responsiveness on Adobe's part. Perhaps that will help get this problem addressed. Or more importantly, help a few other creative folks avoid how absolutely devastated I feel right now.
    (Big *******' sigh)
    Please respond. Please.
    Regards Alan Shapiro

  • I made a Blurb book through Lightroom 5, on another computer, backed it up on an external hard drive and tried to import it into my imac.  I got the picture files, but could not get the book I had worked on.  How do I find my book?

    I made a 'Blurb' book using Lightroom on a computer that was not mine.  I backed up the book on an external hard drive and then tried to import the book into my imac.  I wasn't able to retrieve my book.  The photos I used for the book project are there, but the 45 page book I made is not there.
    What do I need to do?

    You would need to go to the computer containing the book.
    Select the saved book in the Collection panel.
    Go to Grid View [ G ] and select all the images [Cmd/Ctrl][A]
    File>Export as Catalog and store on media you can use to transfer
    Bring this catalog onto your computer
    File>Import from another catalog and bring the transitory catalog into your master catalog.
    It should bring the images, your collections (including your book) and other settings into your own catalog.

  • When i changed the names of my books in iTunes, it did not changed in the iPad after i had synced it again with the changes. can anyone help? i had added authors to the author column and deleted their names from the book titles.

    i had added books to iBooks on iTunes and synced with my iPad mini. Then I realised that the titles sometimes had the author name, or a random number before it. I made changes to all the books in my iTunes library, edited the titles, added authors to the author columns, year in year column etc and synced my iPad again. but my iPad did not update these changes at all is still in the old way. can this be rectified?

    Have you tried closing the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it
    Have you tried closing the app via the taskbar ? (I assume that your iPad is on iOS 6, though the version that your tagline shows, 6.1.6, is not a version for iPads) From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
