Problem with iPhoto screen view

I am trying to divide my photos into different albums. I took action pics of a high school soccer team and need to divide them into individual albums. I need to have bigger views of the pics. I can only get the screen to show me 4 pics in a row while still being able to drag them into albums. If I try to use the slider to view 3 or 2 in a row it will only go immediately to one large pic and I am unable to either delete, drag, or anything with it. I have to move the slider down, which automatically goes back to the 4 pics in a row view, in order to be able to drag the pic to an album. This is making an easy job a pain. Is there something I can do to fix this? I've also tried to move the left margin to make the photo area bigger or smaller and it doesn't change the problem.

Deborah:
Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try the slider again. If that doesn't help have you tried viewing the slides in the full screen view mode. You can view them two at a time by selecting two and clicking on the double arrow button that's next to the blue "i" button in the lower toolbar. You can advance either of the photos by using the forward/back arrows on the keyboard or on the screen.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Problem with SAP Screen

    Not sure if this is the correct forum.
    Okies, a user of mine has a problem with her SAP screens. It seems that she can't view the full screen of CJ20N She has to drag the window bigger to be able to see the content. She uses this window in a split monitor view, i.e. some of the applications are displaying on the laptop window while other applications display on the monitor.
    Details of her SAPGUI:
    Release 640 Final
    File version: 6404.4.16.1015
    Build: 774474
    Patch Level : 16
    Do note that her primary monitor (notebook) is always set to 1280x800 and the secondary monitor is set to 1024x768. Anyone encounter this problem before?

    Hi,
    This is problem with windows screen resolution. Better to use, maximum supported window size and make sure to use same size for both the screens.

  • I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else?

    I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else? Thanks, Rose

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that does'nt help log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto from there.

  • Problem with Local DCs View in NWDS 7.0

    Hi!
    I' ve got a problem with Local DCs view in NWDS: None of the standard-DCs (BI_MMR, BI_UDI, CAF a.s.o.) can be expanded and show their content. I already reinstalled IDE, but without success.
    Has anybody got an idea?
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Regards,
    Thomas

    Hi,
    This is due to some files missed in Local development.
    Let me know Are you able to see <b>.confdef, .syncdb</b> and <b>buildvariant.config </b> files under Local Developement.
    If you are not able to see, UnInstall your NWDS, Remove Local developement under .dtc folder, then Re-Install NWDS.
    Hope this will help you.
    Thanks & Regards

    Your setup might be incomplete: The SAR file extraction creates very long paths on your filesystem. If you do not extract to the rootfolder of disk, chances are the paths become too long and the installation exits, without any warning.
    If this is not the cause of your problem, check if the .dcdef files for the local DCs (plugin com.sap.tc.ap if I'm correct) were copied during installation.

    I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

    Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
    If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
    Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
    Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

  • Problem with iPhoto 9.3.2: Any assistance or how to re-install?

    Hi all,
    I've got a problem with iPhoto 9.3.2 whereby upon startup, I get a spinning wheel which goes on forever (I've left the computer alone for 5 hrs and coming back, it's still spinning). Symptoms are it pulls up the Library with Events, Photos, Faces, even Albums. But I don't actually get any photos displayed on the right.
    I've tried :-
    1) reinstalling Mountain Lion
    2) using Disk Utility Repair Permissions
    3) Rebuilding thumbnails & library
    4) Creating new library
    5) starting up under a new user account (therefore not a problem with a config file in my homedir)
    6) Starting iPhoto up in Safe Mode
    Note during the spinning wheel, I can access the menu as such I can quit, import photos, etc.
    It actually works (worked) under the following conditions :-
    a) Until 31st July iPhoto 9.3.2 was working fine. I cannot remember what I did/installed/uninstalled/changed/deleted to cause it to have problems
    b) I can get access to the very same library with Aperture with no problems at all (i.e. no library issues)
    c) Photos will only display if I import a picture. Then all Events will appear. I can get into each event, I can even select the photo I imported and delete it. This is my current workaround to accessing photos in iPhoto. However I cannot switch to any of the albums I created. It will only display Events. Clicking on Photos, Faces, Places, and any of the Recent doesn't do anything.
    So finally now is to try to re-install iPhoto 9.3.2. Can any one please let me know how I can do this? I've tried Option-Click on Purchases tab in the App Store but I get a greyed out INSTALLED in iPhoto. Similarly I found a link that provided the iPhoto9.3.2Update.dmg but in attempting to installing that, it tells me it can only be done via the App Store.
    Any advice?
    Cheers

    @putnik, yes I believe the update came from that site.
    @mende1, perfect! That was easy! I thought I had to clean out plist files from my home directory, etc. Upon deletion and reinstallation, iPhoto started working again!
    Thank you so much!

    I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up.  Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later.  I have not seen a solution posted.  Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem?  I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • Sync problems with iPhoto (Last iTunes & iPhoto & iOS)

         Some people have problems to with the music sync but anyone has the same problem but with the photos? iTunes doesn´t count the number of photos that suposse to be listed when you select your album on itunes/device/photos... I have once the problem with the music but it cames right after delete and resync my playlists.
         Thnks!
         Tested on iPhone 5 and iPad2 Mavericks iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3 Same problem with iPhoto 9.4.3 and 9.5."

    I have the same issue - iTunes 11.1.2, iOS 7.0.3, Mac OS X Mavericks, iMac 2011, iPhone 5S - Aperture 3.5 and iPhoto 9.5 - iTunes does not sync pictures (not even counts them) between my iPhone 5S and either one of the programs. When I select iPhoto, it even shows information of a library I am not opening with iPhoto anymore.
    I have resorted for the time being, waiting for a bug fix, to copy what I am interested in, into a folder and sync from it - that at least works.
    Moreover, contrary to what said here in other threads, I can Wi-fi sync my iPhone 5S and iPad 2 to iTunes 11.1.2.
    And, about all the complaints of iTunes not showing the "Info" tab anymore, Mac OS X now supports natively more types of accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, AOL, etc.). Everything can still be also set up manually in any case - so I don't understand what everybody is bragging about - you can avoid using iCloud, if so one wishes.

  • Problem with pdf chrome viewer and javascript

    I have a problem with chrome pdf viewer. We have created a form with acrobat 9 pro, this form contains a javascript. When the form is printed or saved the javascript checks that all the mandatiry fields are completed and displays a message if some fields are uncompleted. The chrome pdf viewer doesn't display the warning message when the form is saved, and doesn't display the check box included in the warning message pop up to confirm that the user accepts to print the form. The control is correct with FF et IE
    Thanks for your help

    There are many PDF viewers. Adobe's, third party downloads, things that come with systems (Apple Preview, Microsoft 8 Reader), things built into browsers (Chrome, Firefox...) Adobe's software understands the full set of JavaScript. Some ignoresJavaScript altogether. Some do selected JavaScript. This is a bit of a mess, but nothing can be done about it EXCEPT that you can demand your users use Adobe Reader. Whether they actually will depends on how important your needs are to them.

  • Problem with iPhoto 7 import

    Hi,

    I made 53 scan of photos in 1200dpi, modified, cleaned and saved them in jpeg files (1mo to 2mo by photo)
    all are in the same folder and some are in grayscale other in colors.
    When I want to import (with copying or not) them in iPhoto 7 (already updated) 15 of 53 have not small photo in event they are black, and when I zoom on them they are bug.
    It is only in iPhoto.
    If I share this event in iMovie small photo is black but if I move this photo in my iMovie project Photo is good...
    Then it is really a big problem because I can't use iPhoto for my albums, cards, ...

  • Problem with sub-screen actions on Cancel button

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with sub-screen.
    I created a subscreen (screen sequence in MM01/MM02/MM03). When users leave this screen, I call POPUP_TO_CONFIRM to ask if they want to save the data.
    1) My goal is: when they choose Cancel, no actions are performed and users will see the current screen. However, I cannot use command: SET SCREEN 0 or LEAVE TO SCREEN 0 because the system gives an error message:
    *SET SCREEN not allowed in subscreens*.
    2) How can we determine when the user leaves the screen? which value of SY-UCOMM will be used to check this?
    Thanks in advance.

    for dis SET SCREEN is not required.
    Consider d code given below as n eg:
    CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM'
        EXPORTING
          titlebar              = 'SAVE'
          text_question         = 'SOME _QUS'
          text_button_1         = 'YES'
          text_button_2         = 'NO'
          default_button        = '2'
          display_cancel_button = ' '
        IMPORTING
          answer                = l_ans
        EXCEPTIONS
          text_not_found        = 1
          OTHERS                = 2.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        MESSAGE e066.
      ENDIF.
    IF l_ans EQ '1'.    " when yes is pressed
       MODIFY db.
       commit work.
       leave program.
    ELSEIF l_ans EQ '2'.  "when no is pressed
        leave program.
    ELSE.     " when cancel is pressed
    ENDIF.
    In above module when Yes is pressed it saves data den leave prog.
    As no action is specified for cancel button it will remain on that screen only from which popup is called, in this way ur problem can be solved.
    Reward properly.
