Problem with pictures in iPhoto '09 on a Mac

After a recent download of travel pictures numbering over 1,000, every so often a few pictures will split and have normal color on half but the other half is very light. Sometimes when these thumbnails are opened the color is just fine but I end up replacing them from my original SD card from my camera. I have no idea what is causing that to happen. The only thing I can relate it to is that it started happening after downloading 1,000 more pictures. The total number of pictures in my iPhoto '09 library is 9,275. Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be fixed? My Mac's operating system is OS X Maverick 10.9.4 and the processor speed is 3.06 GHz; Intel Core 2 Due; Memory: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3. iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424).

Thanks for the 2 suggestions. I rebuilt the iPhoto database but, unfortunately, that did not correct the defect in the problem images. Then I ran Etrecheck and here are the results:

Problem with order in iPhoto

problem with order in iPhoto. I can't buy a card, because there comes an Message "Ihre Karte enthält offenbar Standardtext, der noch nicht bearbeitet wurde. Gedruckte Karten enthalten diesen Text nicht. Möchten Sie fortfahren?" What should I do?

That message means that you have text boxes that have not been used. The holding text that appears in the box will not be printed. But if you want to get rid of the warning just put a space in the text box.
OR, check to see if the card layout has the same page but without a text box. Most do.

Problème avec photos dans mail IPAD - Mail probleme with picture on IPAD

Bonjour,
J'ai un problème avec les mails contenant une ou des photos envoyés et reçus de mon IPAD3 vers un autre IPAD3.
Lorsque j'envoie un mail avec une photo prise dans un de mes albums, le destinataire ne reçoit pas la bonne photo sur son IPAD alors que le même mail ouvert sur un PC ouvre la bonne photo. La photo qui s'ouvre sur son IPAD est une des photos de ses albums a lui.
L'inverse est identique,si on m'envoie un mail je n'ouvre pas la bonne photo sur mon IPAD.
Je connais plusieurs personnes ayant le même problème avec leur IPAD3.
Que puis je faire ?
Merci,
Raphaël
Hello,
I have an email problem with picture sent and received from on my IPAD3 to an other IPAD3.
When I send an email with a picture from one of my albums, the receiver don't receive /open the good picture on his IPAD. But in a PC the good picture has received. The picture opened is one of his albums.
The opposite is the same, when I receive an email with picture from an IPAD, a wrong picture is opened.
I know some people with the same problem.
What can I do ?
Best regards,
Raphael

I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?

Problem with getting into iPhoto library after downloading an update for iPhoto. It is saying it is locked on a locked disk. how do we fix this?

Have an OS X 10.9.4 and having problems with iPhoto library after installing iPhoto version 9.5.1 This has locked the iPhoto Library on a locked disk. Any idea on how we unlock this disk?

First, if you've moved the iPhoto library to an external drive, make sure that drive is mounted by opening it in the Finder.
The issue can be caused by sharing the photo library on a network (against Apple's advice) or by opening it in more than one local user account at the same time. You may be able to clear the error by logging out or restarting the computer. If not, do as follows.
Quit iPhoto if it's running, locally or on any file-sharing client. Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Usually it's in the Pictures folder, but you may have moved it somewhere else. Right-click or control-click the library icon and select
Show Package Contents
from the popup menu. In the folder that opens, navigate to
Database/apdb/lockfile.pid
and move that file, if it exists, to the Trash. Close the Finder window.

Problem with Picture Dimensino

When I upload pictures it is reducing the dimension size of the image. I believe it is something on my computer because other people have taken pictures from my camera/albums and they display fine. It seems like my computer is automatically reducing the size and resolution of the pictures I have uploaded and it is resaving the file that way. Does anyone know how to fix this or if it is possibly a setting that I need to change?

The Data folder contains the thumbnail files that iPhoto creates for use in iPhoto. The full sized files are contained in the Originals folder and should be accessed only thru iPhoto as discussed in TD's treatis on file access.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

Problem with itunes and iphoto after time machine restoration

After an apocalyptic type meltdown in my hardrive the other night, I now have a new one. I have restored as much as I had backed up using time machine when I turned my computer back on for the first time. However in iphoto it lists all the different albums I have, but all the photos come up as grey squares. They are definitely on the computer as you can see them in the iphoto originals folder in the finder window.
A similar problem with itunes. My itunes library is totally blank, with no songs whatsoever. However the songs are there in itunes music folder.
How can I restore everything back to normal?
Matt

Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

Printing problems with Elements and iPhoto on OSX 10.5.7

I am having problems with printing photos on my printer (Canon iP4000) since getting the new iMac with OSX (10.5.7) and using Photoshop Elements 6 and iPhoto. The Canon printer driver (and all my other data) were copied to my Mac by the techs at the Apple store from which I purchased the iMac. (I previously had a Mac G4 with OSX 10.4.11 Panther.)
Photos that used to come out crystal clear and brilliant on the printer from the G4, now are faint with kind of a white veil. When I try to print in Elements, I get a message that says "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer." I really have no idea what that means. Anybody?
Text printing comes out fine, both from word processing documents and web pages. I am using the latest printer driver (4.8.3) for the iP4000 (probably 4 years old or so), and there are no new driver downloads available for it. I trashed the Canon software/drivers and reinstalled, to no avail.
Canon Support has been helpful and have made many suggestions, but none has worked. I tried printing with Canon's EasyPhotoPrint app, and the photos print fine. So the problem appears to be a compatibility of the printer with Elements 6 and iPhoto.
Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have an opinion if this means I need to get a new printer? If so, any suggestions on a good, moderately priced one for Leopard on the iMac that will definitely work with Elements 6 and iPhoto?

The v4.8.3 driver she has is the latest version Canon has supplied.
Given the driver is working okay from some other applications, there has to be something amiss with the colour management of iPhoto and PSE6.
For iPhoto, as a test I would suggest the Color Options > Color Correction is set to None to see how this impacts the printed image. Then I would try the BJ Standard and ColrSync settings to see how the output is affected.
During the Color Options trial, ensure the Quality & Media > Media Type is set to the appropriate paper type, such as Photo Paper and the Print Mode be set to Top Quality Photo. With regards to the Media Type setting, some of the paper stocks have a profile associated with them. If you use Photo paper but use the Plain setting, then you will get a washed out print.

Problem with pictures in pages 5 and epub

Hello,
I have been using pages 09 to make epubs for the last 6 months with happy results.
My new macbook pro came in the mail and I have some problems.
I have figured out how to do all the text formatting, including titles/chapter names, etc. on pages 5.
My problems is with pictures.
In the past, I would click view, then show invisibles, so I could see where the chapter marks are to insert my picture in a particular spot.
The old pages, was great, and the pic showed up right where I wanted it, and that was the end of the story.
New Pages, just throws the picture on the page and then forces me to select a variety of options as far as telling it how I want the picture to display.
This would be no big deal if I only had one or two pics to deal with, but I have tons of pics that need to be inserted in pages and exported to epub.
Does anyone know an easy way to tell pages 5 to just put the picture where I am telling it!
Any advice would be appreciated.
Also, one negative on pages 09 is that you could only have a certain amount of pics/chapter, otherwise they would not show up in the exported epub.
Anyone know if pages 5 suffers from the same absurdity or if you can insert as many pics as you want/chapter.

Ok, I understand what you guys are saying.
A related issue.
I had been using pages 4.1.
When I would take a pic plucked from a pdf and put it into pages and then exported to epub, it compressed the file about 80% like it should.
I ditched pages 5 and went to pages 4.3 (which looked identical to my old pages 4.1.
For whatever reason when I take the same pdf pic and put it into pages and export to epub, instead of compressing by 80%, it is actually expanding the file by 700%.
The original image is identical in both cases, but pages 4.3 doesn't compress upon export to epub.
Any suggestions?

Problem with picture insertion in a form created with LiveCycle

I created a form with a picture field. Yet, no matter which size attribute I give to the field, (e.g. keep original size, adjust to the whole field or adjust proportionaly to the field (my version is in French so I am not sure what the English text is exactly for those attributes)) once in the form, the picture keeps streching to the whole field! (I'll let you imagine what results it can give...). Am I missing something?

Well, it's someone els's picture. I would feel very much unconfortable to post it publicly. Can I send it to you by email? I have the same problem with all the pictures....

Problem With Picture

Greetings,
When I import a certain picture into PSE11, the thumbnail only shows for a few seconds, then it changes to this:
I've tried deleting it and re-importing it from the camera, but the same thing keeps happening. All picture programs are able to handle the picture properly—it is only PSE that has a problem with it. Does PSE keep an 'import log', so that I can find out why it doesn't like this picture?
Thanks,
Shane.

Problem with picture synchronization in Outlook

Hello.
I have a problem with one of our users. We have a environment with Lync, SharePoint and Exchange.
One of our user changed his picture through SharePoint and from there it is synchronized with Active Directory. The sync between AD works fine. I have verifyed that correct picture is in AD, SharePoint and Lync.
In Outlook the old picture still remains. I have created a new Outlook profile, but the old picture still appears in the Outlook and in GAL.
I have run the following command to update the picture: Get-GlobalAddressList | Update-GlobalAddressList.
Do you have any solution for this problem?

Hi,
Which version of Exchange server are you using?
If you are using Outlook in cached Exchange mode, I'd recommend you switch to online Exchange mode to see if the photo will get updated. If the issue disappears in online Exchange mode, it means something is not updated in the Offline Address Book (OAB).
In addition, do other users see the updated photo of the user in their Outlook? If not, this means the OAB is not get updated on the server side. If this is the case, I'd recommend you post a new question in the Exchange Server forum for further assistance:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver
Please let me know the result.

Problem with pictures not showing up

I just updated my iphone 3g to the 4.0.1 and i went into my pictures n half of them show up black in the album. but u can still click on them and seee them full screen. Is there anyway to fix the problem with the pictures showing up as black in the album?

If this is for the photo albums that were transferred from your computer, under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Photos followed by syncing which will remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and selecting the photos you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
If no change after this, the next step is deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache from your computer followed by another sync.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
Quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library as a single entity from the pictures folder on your boot drive to the external drive and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key - use the select library option to point to the iPhoto library you just copied to the external drive - test it for a while to be sure it is ok and then quit iPhoto and trash the iPhoto library on your boot drive - relaunch iPhoto and test one more time before you empty the trash
