Problem with photos making book in iPhoto

I'm making a book on iPhoto and two of the pix indicate they have already been used, but they have not. Can't delete them (because there's a tick mark beside them) but can't use them either. Help?

What is your iPhoto version?
In iPhoto '11 you can use the same photo over and over again, even if it has a checkmark, that it has been used. For example - the same photo used six times:
When you move the cursor directly onto the checkmark in the photos list, the checkmark will change into an arrow. If you click the arrow, it will take you to the page with the photo. Can you find this way, where the photo has been used?

Go to System Preferences>Displays and set the resolution to "Best for this computer" (or something to that effect).

Self explanatory.
You could try creating an iPod version of the films.
Use CTRL and B to display the Menu bar shown above. Alternatively, use the ALT key, followed by the F key, the W key and finally the I (eye) key - that's (menu)/File/Create New Version/Create iPod or iPhone version.

Problems with Photos and Fonts and Explorer

I am having problems with photos and fonts when my site is viewed on Explorer. The site is Ostyn-Newman.com The problems can both be seen on the start page -though they happen throughout the site. The photo is supposed to be only 30% opaque and it shows fine on Firefox or Safari, but Explorer viewers get the photo being used as wallpaper at 100% and this steps all over the text. Should I give up a using a photo as wallapaper?
Also the font I am using for "Ostyn-Newman Objects for Fine Homes" shows well in Firefox and Safari, but looks really bad on Explorer products. Should I just change the font? I am currently using Snell Roundhand.

Final Cut Pro 6.0.3 Problem with Photo JPG Codec ?

Hi everyone...
I have been working with music videos for several years using FCP 5.x and photo-jpeg codec, everything works fine. As time going by now I have updated my FCP using 6.0.3 with hopes to get better features. But unfortunately FCP 6 has problem with photo-jpeg codec. The problem is when I load a photo-jpeg video, the gamma will changes every time the playback head is start or stop. And I can't using video transition (standard cross-dissolve) anymore because the video gamma also change at the in transition and out transition. It also appear in my video monitor and output file ! I have searching all day to find out what is exactly the problem, but never get the solution. Should i come back to FCP 5.x ? Is it a BUGS or what ? What happen with Apple, why they let this happened ?
For information the video is in SD PAL & captured using Blackmagic Decklink card.
Please help,...Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions...
I believe this has to do with using YUV or RGB as the rendering method. RT is always RGB, but try changing the setting for your timeline to whatever it is not now...

Strange Problem with Mail & Address Book

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with Mail & Address Book.
When I go to compose a new message from Mail and hit the Address button (to show my email addresses), it won't launch the contacts window!
I get this log from console;
2007-10-15 22:55:59.079 Mail[410] * -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (0) beyond bounds (0)
If I try to launch the Address Book from my Applications folder, it won't open, and it gives me this log from console;
2007-10-15 22:57:57.348 Address Book[417] * -[NSKeyedUnarchiver initForReadingWithData:]: data is NULL

I tried deleting the preferences, re-installing Address Book, also tried creating a new user, again no luck!
Can somebody help!!!
Please?!

Hi dp13.
Do you have any Address Book plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Address Book? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins ~/Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.
<hr>
Did you also reinstall the appropriate Combo Update after reinstalling Address Book?
Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Problem with MP3 audio books - truncating

My shuffle is truncating the end of each part (track?) of my MP3 audio books. It loses the last one or two sentences. Is there something I can do to fix this?
I'm using the OverDrive Media Console to borrow books from the library. I have no problem with WMA format books (they appear as audiobooks in the shuffle listing). The MP3 books show up as "Music".
I'm manually managing music, which is required to transfer audio from OverDrive to my shuffle.
MC754LL/A iPod shuffle 2 GB
Model A1373
software version is 1.0.1

I use "My Media Mall" (http://www.mymediamall.net) to check out audio books from the library. They come in 2 formats - mp3 & WMA. When I check out a book it downloads to OverDrive Media Console. Then in OverDrive I transfer the book to my shuffle (through the manually mange the storage option). If I then start itunes, I can see what's been downloaded and what all the properties are. By default WMA books are loaded as audiobooks and there is an automatic play list created. The mp3 books are loaded, by default, into the music section.
Per your original suggestion, I converted the "music" attribute to an "audiobook" attribute, which automatically move the files and created a playlist for the book. It did not stop the truncation problem. I then converted the book back to music, and selected the "gapless album" feature. This has significantly reduced the amount of truncation so that it's gone from a couple of sentences to less than a full sentence.
If I listen to the book on my computer (windows) through itunes, there are no gaps, and no problem automatically finding the next part to play.
FYI - each audiobook is made of several parts (usually 8 - 11 for the books I listen to). Each part contains multiple chapters. Some books only break parts over a chapter break, others seem to divide the parts into semi-equal sizes. If in the shuffle I "skip to next track", it starts the next part. The voice-over feature on the shuffle announces each playlist (eg. book1, book2) and then each individual part (book1 part 01, book2 part 02, etc.). Usually when I start a book, I use the voice-over to find the playlist instead of locating a specific part. If I've been listening to the book via itunes, then I'll have to step through the playlist until the second portion where it lists the individual portions.

Problem with Photo Booth backdrops

In addition to the problem of the first page effects constantly cycling, I now discovered a serious problem when trying to use backdrops. After I select the backdrop I want to use, it will appear in the main window, but it will not place my picture in the backdrop. In addition, it will merely flash the "please step out of the frame" message for a split second and then immediately say "backdrop detected." When I then snap the photo, all I get is the backdrop. I have deleted the .plist file, but that did not help. I had previously uninstalled and reinstalled the application, but the problem persists. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and, if so, have you found a solution?

I thought this issue had died and passed into oblivion. Either no one has an answer, or no one gives a ****,or both. Certainly not Apple. I seem to remember sending feedback to Apple long ago, but I never received a response. I just went to the feedback page and there isn't even a Photo Booth app. showing through which to submit feedback. Checking some of the other threads on this issue, it appears that this problem with Photo Booth has existed for quite some time, and there was a problem with placing iChat backdrops too. It seems that this app. is such a piece of crap that Apple will no longer support it. I can't understand why they continue to include it as part of the OS.
For what it is worth: I was recently at the Apple store and out of curiosity tried the app. on a MacBook Air. It (the app.) was so unstable that I didn't even bother to try to set a backdrop. I've lived without Photo Booth until now, so I guess I can continue to exist without it.
By the way: I didn't insert the asterisks. I typed d a m n, and the system inserted the ****. Interesting.

Problem with photo book created in Aperture 3

Hi everyone,
I am in a bit of a bind and would greatly appreciate any help ASAP!
I ordered a hard-cover photo book that was created in Aperture 3. When previewing the order, we noticed that the photo for the cover of the book was missing (though it appeared on the dust jacket). Tried various things to fix this but then read something in the forums that the photo would not be printed on hard-cover books, only on the dust jacket. So we went ahead and placed our order...
Today (3 business days after the order was made) we received an email from Apple:
"Dear Apple customer,
When your order W313537357 was submitted to Apple, an error caused an image file for your print product to contain an empty frame on the cover. As a result, Apple is unable to process your order and you will not be charged.
If you would like to resubmit your order, we recommend these steps:
1. Use Software Update to install the latest version of Aperture or iPhoto and Mac OS X. For more details on using Software Update, refer to: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1338
2. Close all open applications
3. Open iPhoto or Aperture and preview your order. For instructions on how to preview your order, refer to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
4. If you are satisfied with the Preview, return to iPhoto and click “Buy.” For Aperture users, return and click “Continue”
We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience."
We have tried all of this, and the preview remains the same (no photo on the cover). Also, when clicking the "Buy Book" button we get an error message that says "Empty text field detected in book. The book you are about to order contains an empty text field. How do you wish to proceed?" This gives the option to either cancel or continue, and since I have not been able to find it I always just hit continue.
I have tried contacting apple support but I guess their technical support for Aperture is only available during regular business hours.
Help?! We need this book printed and sent to us by the end of next week. We would pay extra for rush/expedited shipping, but this option doesn't seem to be available (at least in Canada).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The unified library does not work for books and other products. Aperture and iPhoto cannot open each others books, because the editing options are different.
See: Using the Unified Photo Library http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
Print projects
Books, calendars, and cards created in iPhoto are visible in the Source list in Aperture, but you cannot edit them. Books, web pages, and web journals created in Aperture are not visible in iPhoto.
Recreate the book in iPhoto, or send your friends a PDF of the book. To create a pfd see: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture

Problems creating my first book in iphoto

I'm just getting started with my first book - of my children's easter holiday. I'm having a few problems...
1. I have typed text onto the bottom of some pages but when I print or preview, you can't see the text.
2. Is there any way to alter the layout of the text - eg to centre it at the bottom of the page? I can only work out how to left and right align.
3. Every time I want to print out a page or to preview it, the whole book has to be assembled again - this takes ages! Am I doing something wrong.
4. I've read a couple of the other discussions and there are warnings about how you crop your photos and making them in the ration 4:3. Am I being naiive, but don't you get a book that looks like the thing you see in front of you? Doesn't lining up the photo in the 'frame' mean that the photo is cropped like that? (I'm using the large softcover crayon template)
I'd be very grateful for any tips from anyone with more experience as I don't have time to go through all the other messages (3 children under age 5 you see!)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1 - Have you changed the font in the Setting pane for any of the text boxes? One possible reason you don't see the text is that you have more text in the box than it's designed to hold. Do you have any yellow triangles in the text boxes? What page layout are you using, one, two, three...?
2 - Right now there's no way to center text. If it's just one line you can add some spaces at the beginning to sort of center it.
3 - Unfortunately that's how iPhoto works. Do a Print to PDF and then you can preview the pdf file outside of iPhoto and print only those pages you want to check out.
4 - The reason for the suggested crop is that the frames on the pages are in that ratio. If your image is a different size ratio it will not fill the frame are completely or it will fill it in the smaller size and cut off some in the longer dimension if you try to snap it to the frame. Cropping beforehand just insures that you'll be able to get the entire image in the frame at the maximum size possible.

Message "problem with photo with the filename '(null).

I get the following message "There is a problem with the photo with the filename '(Null).' The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace the photo or delete it from your book." This message appears after place the order and it starts to submit the pages of the book. I get as far as page 9 of 60. I have open the pictures using photoshop and have renamed them and saved them as a tif format. Any suggestions?

I believe that you have gone into the iPhoto library and made changes using photoshop - is that correct
If so then you have trashed your iPhoto library and must put it back exactly as it was - loading a backup is the easiest (probably the only) way
NEVER make any changes to the content or structure of the iPhoto library using the finder or any program that is not fully iPhoto aware

Problems with new Mac Book Pro 13'' +power adaptor

Hi there,
I'm new here and first of all I'd like to appologize from my lack of technical language, since my only interesst in computers is that they don't give me problems so I can keep not knowing too much about them.
Ok, so I bought the new Mac Book Pro 13'' exactly 2 months ago cause my old and long travelled Power Book G4 died. I didn't hesitate to spend the money to buy the new one, cause I was so happy with my experience with the old one and in my mind returning to PCs was not even considered.
BUT...I'm not totally happy about my new laptop...from day 1 Safari would just close itself but I didn't give too much thought about it. After this, not only Safari can close up to several times a day, but also iphoto or any other program that I use for work. But that's not all..One day it would take minutes to start running and it would go extremely slow...another day it would start also very slow but also it wouldn't show the tools bar on top or my folders. Another time it would show me, instead of the normal starting page, a page where it would ask me to accept or not a kind of revision for hardware. After so many problems of course I pressed yes...everything seemed normal, then computer started and seemed to be running normal again (aside from this safari and other programs that shut down). Today my computer, when moved, just went totally blank but fortunately I could start it with nor problems after it.
So...anyone knows what the problem must be?? Should I take it to a Technical service ??? and there's another issue...i'm handing in m phD in a week so I can't just be without computer now, and in a week I'm flying to Canada where I also will need my computer for work...what can I do???
And the second problem...the power adaptor from the beginning seemed to act funny sometimes...sometimes charching, sometimes not, I would follow the instructions in the support part and after being several minutes changing one cord for the other, to keep it 1 minute disconnected and so at some point it would start functioning again. But this happened seldom so also I would think it was a protectiion mechanism of the adapter. But, when this is happening more often than not, then it gets annoying. Also I've been transporting it in a careful way since I bought it to find that after only 2 months in the cord (from the computer to adaptor) you can see the internal cable as if there was some cut...a third one seems to be appearing too. I've taken it to the technical support and the guy who was helfpul but also honest said he couldn't do anything for me cause since there were those cuts, he could always be said that it was a misuse of it-an accident and then he would have to pay the replace himself. Well, it's not!!! My old adaptor has been transported in a way less careful way and it's survived with NO problems for 5 years. The material is clearly different from the old cord. This one because it's new, I only need to put it in a special bag air protected. Honestly I don't feel happy to pay 80 € for an adaptor that I don't know if it's gonna last me only 2 months or that I know I can't transport normally. The guy suggested me to ask in forums and to call directly to the apple technical service.
Again, has anyone had any similar problems with the adaptor???

Take it to an Apple retailer and have the computer repaired. It is still in warranty.

Problems syncing photos from iPhone to iPhoto

I have an iPhone 4 installed with iOS 5.0.1. I also have a slightly older version of iPhoto (I believe it's one generation behind; whatever that is). Prior to updating my iPhone to either iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1 (I didn't check between updates) I used to be able to sync my photos FROM my iPhone into iPhoto. I can no longer do this and Apple has no idea what the problem is?!?!
iPhoto appears as though it's going to start syncing photos but then does nothing except gives me a big white screen; almost like it doesn't recognize the phone. I've tried deleting the photo cache and nothing. I've tried calling Apple support and nothing.
Can anyone help me with this, as it is very inconvenient to keep emailing photos to myself. I assume the issue has to do with the iCloud folder and iPhoto doesn't know what to do with the iCloud photo. Of course Apple has to understand this is an issue before it will be fixed, if I am correct.
Suggestions?

Since iPhoto syncing is not working for you right now and you need to replace your phone, consider transferring your pictures wirelessly to your computer using and app like PhotoSync. Also be sure to back up your contacts as they are not fully backed up as part of the iPhone backup. Either sync them to a service such as Google or use an app like My Contacts Backup (which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email that your send to yourself and can later be used to import your contacts to your new phone).

Adobe Bridge CC -- ongoing problems with Photo Downloader (scrolling, crashing, etc)

Hello Community,
Thanks in advance for any suggestions to improve my Bridge CC experience! I have recurring problems, esp. when using the Photo Downloader (in other words, daily problems) -- scrolling either up or down to select photos is a nightmare, as the scrolling either jumps or stops without rhyme or reason, making the photo selection process tedious and maddening. Additionally, if I spend more than a few minutes selecting which photos to load to my computer (i.e., from iPhone), Bridge crashes.
I have been using Bridge for about a decade, and never EVER had a single problem with it until CC. I have a 2013 MacBook Pro, all software updated, etc. No fancy bells or whistles, no peripherals, etc... Just trying to get my pictures from phone and tablet to the computer.
Many thanks.

Moving discussion to Bridge forum.
