Problem adding photos

I'm trying to use a poster template in pages. I want to add my own photos instead of the
placeholder photos. When I click media to show my photos so I can dray and drop them,
iPhoto comes up full screen instead of in a column on the right side of my screen.
I can't drag and drop photos because it is full screen and covers my template.
How do I get my photos in a column on the right side of the screen?

BW,
Click the Green Ball in the upper left corner of the Media Browser Window to resize it. Or, grab an edge and resize manually.

PodCast: problem adding photos to the Podcast Track!

Hi all,
I was just making my 1st podcast when I encountered a strange problem: I wanted to drag&drop photos from the media browser but not all of them worked!
Some photos could be dropped without a problem (instatntly visible by the green + ball sticking to the mouse pointer) while with others this green + icon doesn't appear and the photo won't drop into the Podcast Track.
I consulted the GB Help but to no avail.
However, I observed the following: all my photos in portrait format work and all my photos in landscape format don't work.
The photos are taken with my DSLR camera and have a resolution of 3008x2000 pixel.
So, together with the portrait/landscape observation: could it be that 2000 pixel by 2000 pixel is the max size of a photo so that it can be dropped onto the Podcast Track?
A double click on a photo in the media browser doesn't open GB's own little photo editor (opposed to when you double click on a photo in the markers track list) so one can't crop the photos within GB.
So, do I need to crop the landscape 3008x2000 images in iPhoto (or any other sim. app.) first?
Any comments?
Thanks a lot & cheers from Germany,
Stefan.

Hey Stefan,
A couple of potential issues here. First off you may be right that there's some type of file size limit issue, either because there's a max filesize built-in, or because since you're able to "scale" your photos for display within the chapter/markers area, maybe GB wants a file it knows it can work with reasonably.
Secondly, I'd be wary of putting lots of large photos in your cast, as that may contribute to giant file sizes on export. The one thing you might want to test is to see what GB does with the photos when you've selected the Preferences>Export>Set Artwork to recommended size for Podcasts check box.
Or maybe try unchecking that box (if you have it checked now) and then see if a big photo can then be brought in.
What I've been doing with large photos is exporting them from iPhoto at a smaller scale, then importing them into a new album, or in the case of images from the web, just adding them to iPhoto and scaling them in GB in the chapter markers area. I also use Photoshop to "pre-scale" but I wouldn't think it was necessary just for a Podcast.
Hopefully this helps.

Problem adding photos to a photo template page

I am using iWeb 3.0.4. After selecting a Photo template page I tried to drag an iPhoto event from Media sidebar that has 32 photos in it to the photo place holder on the page. Only 9 of the photos were transferred. Trying to drag any other photos, even a single photo, caused a text box with the name of the photo in it to be placed on the page and the Inspector window to open with the Link tab active.
Does anyone have any ideas on why or what to do?

Your library is damaged and my not be able to be totally recovered, i.e. recover albums, slideshows, etc. along with the photos.
If the original files for your photos are inside the library package (even if iPhoto can't display them) the following should create a new library with all of your photos.
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Check it out carefully to see if all of your photos are represented in it.
Your current library will still be available for further fix attempts.

Problem adding Photos, changing layout

I'm trying to create a Book and when I change layout or want to change the picture, the page goes blank and can't add/change photos or layout?

Since the new library worked OK indicates that your orignal library is damaged to the point that it's not repairable. We've tried all of the fixes we know about.
This may be your next step which would mean recreating the book from scratch:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best. Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself. A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network. Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

Adding Photos To Photo Stream From iPhoto Doesn't Work.

Hi,
I'm a new Mac user, just becoming acquainted to Mavericks. I've imported all of my photos into iPhoto, have found some photos I wanted to share with some friends. So, I selected the Photos, then clicked the "Share" icon, then "iCloud". I created a new stream, and shared it with my friends. The stream appeared on my iPhone & iPad, and my firends have accepted my invite. But the photos have not been added to the stream.
I tried adding the photos again to no avail.
I have also tried adding photos to streams that I had already created on my iPhone, but the photos are not added.
No error messages to be seen; I have also checked the iPhoto preferences, under the iCloud option, all check boxes are ticked.
Any ideas?

Sorry not to be able to help, just wanted to show support as I have exactly the same problem. Did you find an answer?

I'm adding photos to photo stream and they aren't showing up

I'm adding photos to photo stream and they aren't showing up - help!

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Adding photos to project using Bridge

When adding photos to a Premiere CS3 project, I can select the photos in
Bridge CS3 and then use either "right-click->Open" or "drag and drop" to add
the photos to the Premiere project. However, right-click->Open is limited
to about 11 photos and does nothing if too many photos are selected, whereas
"drag and drop" will add a much larger number of photos. Is this a known
problem with right-click->Open?
Using Windows XP SP2, Premiere/Bridge CS3.
Best,
Christopher

> Odd. I just imported 32 images with right-click>Open. I didn't try more
> than that for time's sake.
Yeah, probably just a quirk on my system. I have an easy workaround, so
it's fine for now. Up to 11 jpg photos work for me; 12 or more does not. My
current project has 150 photos, which requires drag-and-drop to get them all
at once.
Best,
Christopher

Recently added photos/movies missing after closing iPhoto '09

I have iPhoto '09 (8.1.2 (424) running on an Intel iMac Core (1) Duo with Snow Leopard, all software updates current. Tonight I went to add several photos and movies to my iPhoto library (19,000+ photos). They imported fine. I moved some around with respect to events, fixed some dates, but did no photo edits. Then I closed iPhoto. When I opened it back up, all of the recently added photos were gone. The "Last Import" said "(0)". I found the photos/movies sitting in my iPhoto library in the file structure and could open them up and view them with Preview or Quicktime, respectively. But iPhoto didn't know they were there. I tried to drag and drop them into iPhoto again and it wouldn't let me, saying they are already in the library. I was able to reimport from the original location on my desktop and after closing and re-opening, same thing, no photos in iPhoto but another copy of them in the "iPhoto Library package > Originals > 2011 > ..."
This is repeatable. I can delete the folders I added then reimport and after closing and re-opening, nothing. I've rebuilt the library 2 times using command+option with all options selected except "rebuild from automatic backups." I can drag just one image into iPhoto from the bunch and it disappears to after a close+reopen. I have not yet tried to do a camera-based import. These are files on my desktop.
Lastly, I think this may be a red herring, but I just recovered from a HD crash last week. I got a new HD installed by professionals and did all the new installs to Snow Leopard and restore from my time machine backups myself. Everything looks/works like it did before the crash, except one of the user's (4 of us on this machine) desktop was missing their background pic and had to re-add it. All the other user's desktop pics were fine. This desktop pic was associated with the iphoto library I'm having the problem with. I just realized after talking with my wife that all the pictures she has added since the crash have had the same behaviour and are sitting in the iphoto library package but are not in the iPhoto library "viewer" when iPhoto is open.

The Library database is corrupted.
Best option: restore from back up. Otherwise:
Option 1
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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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. .

Problem adding recordset to a Template page

Adding Photos from other folders?

Hi, I just discovered iDVD - ha! - and I use DVDSP/FCP professionally, but for DVDs of the kids I think I want to use this app as it's so much fun (as compared to DVDSP). But the only problem that I see is that I can't use my Photo folders on the network. For movies, I found the preference for add folders, works great, but i don't see the same thing for photos. It looks like things must be in the iPhoto catalogue or Photo Booth?!? thx for your advice!!!

You can drag photos in from any folder. They don't have to be in iPhoto. Just don't move them from their location until after you have burned your disks or a disk image of your iDVD project. If you move, change or rename any media used in the project, iDVD will be unable to locate them and will not burn.
If you are referring to putting a photo file onto the DVD-ROM area so that viewers can put the burned DVD into their computers and download the photos used in your project, follow these directions from iDVD Help:
+Adding photos and movies from slideshows to the DVD-ROM contents+
+Here are ways to add photos to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc:+
+To set iDVD to always add photos automatically:+
+Choose iDVD > Preferences.+
+Click Slideshow.+
+Select the “Always add original photos to DVD-ROM contents” checkbox.+
+To add slideshow images to the DVD-ROM contents on a case-by-case basis:+
+Open the slideshow editor by double-clicking the button for your slideshow on the DVD menu, and then click the Settings button.+
+Select the “Add image files to DVD-ROM” checkbox.+

I added photos of our company's products to the Goods App for our sales team to use as an electronic catalog. Some of the pictures display perfectly. Others are blury. How can I fix this?

I added photos of our company's products to the Goods App for our sales team to use as an electronic catalog. Some of the pictures display perfectly. Others are blury. How can I fix this? I Googled pixel size for Ipads and checked this size against the blury photos. They seem to be less than the max pixels allowed. Must be another solution????

Ged,
whilst generally I agree with you a question (or two) for clarification so we can be sure we're not comparing apples with oranges
I'm not familiar with O2's product lineup but given you're on Annex M is that a business package?
Are you on an Infinity residential or business package?
On the subject of the offshore support teams my experience from the other sife of the fence is that many, many of them are very technically orientated. The problem is that the ISPs they work for don't give them access to many of the tools that are needed (they need to raise internal requests to even get line checks done in some cases) and also they are very heavily scripted & monitored in what they do/say on a call.
Sounds like O2 are operating as a contact centre rather than as a call centre which is much more preferable from the customers point of view.
DISCLAIMER: although I work in the industry I do not work for BT and any opinions given are purely my own.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!

Cannot place order ERROR: "There was a problem adding your product to cart"

Hey guys,
Well, once again Best Buy's online system is preventing me from making an order. It seems like nearly every time I log in I experience some new problem. This time, I'm unable to add anything to my cart. It doesn't matter what item I try to add to my cart or what browser I use or if I clear cookies...it happens every time, on every browser, with every product in the store. The error shows a red & white triangle with a message "There was a problem adding your product to cart".
Just to clarify ahead of time: 1) I have already tried signing in using 4 different browsers (explorer, firefox, chrome, opera) & they all give the same error; 2) Prior to posting here I researched this problem & found out it is somewhat common & has been occurring since at least 2012 on BestBuy.com; 3) Every time someone posts in here about this problem, customer service offers the same "fix" every time - to sign out, clear their browser cache of cookies, shut down the browser, restart the browser, sign back in, etc.... The only problem is, this "solution" has not worked ONE time our of the many times this problem has cropped up in here over the past 3+ years. Why this "solution" keeps getting told to people even though it never works is beyond me. But, there you have it.
Just to clarify: I have already tried this solution, And just like with everyone else before me, it didn't work for me either. So, what's the next step? There must be something else that can be done other than waiting a couple more days for it to magically fix itself (it seems that is the only thing that ever "works"...is to let several days go by and the problem ends up getting fixed in some back-end server-side patch up).
What I'm hoping for from you is a solution that can fix this immediately. This problem has already prevented me from making a couple purchases for items that were temporarily on sale over the past couple days. So, those are lost sales for Best Buy. What I'm hoping to do now is pre-order the Elder Scrolls Online (PS4) in order to take advantage of the $10 pre-order reward. The game releases on Tuesday the 9th. So, in order to get this done in time I need to place the order sometime today (on the 8th).
With all these repeated technical problems making purchasing a chore & wasting my time every single time I want to buy a product it's almost as if Best Buy is telling customers "We don't care if our online system works reliably...go spend your money at Amazon instead". lol
Thank you in advance for your timely help on this matter.

Hello mjswooosh,
I'm very disheartened to hear that you've had ongoing problems when attempting to order from BestBuy.com. Our goal is ever to provide a fun and efficient shopping environment! Certainly creating aggravation serves neither you nor us and I apologize sincerely for this having been your experience.
We recommend the troubleshooting steps you mentioned (i.e., clearing the browser cache, deleting temporary internet files and cookies) because this is the most common cause of this type of problem. I too have encountered this issue from time to time and these steps have almost always resolved the problem. I say almost always because there's one further step you can try: ensure that you have signed out of BestBuy.com, then perform the browser maintenance steps we've recommended. Afterward, before signing in to BestBuy.com, add your desired items to your cart and sign in as part of the checkout process. When the standard steps have not netted a resolution for me, this has solved the problem each time.
I hope this helps. I'm very grateful that you took the time to write to us with your concerns and for sharing your very valuable feedback about your online experience.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate
