Problems viewing photos emailed out of iphoto

Friends with Iphonez and Ipads are not able to view my photos emailed out of my Macbook Pro through Iphoto. The photos look distorted (too tall and too wide) and if I send multiple emails containing photos, the same set of photos keeps going out. So weird...can't figure it out.

Have you pozted your izzue in the iPhoto forumz?

I cant copy photo's out of iPhoto, I select them all but if I want to paste them for example to my nas or a folder on my macbook, the paste option wont appear. I tried with export, didnt work either. It used to work, but now all of a sudden it wont.

I used to load them into iphoto manged them and then simly copied them and saved them on my nas and/or my macbook's hdd in a folder, but now it wont work. I have now thousents of photo i cant copy, its a mess....
it might be a problem with an update as I had also a mess with my music after updating to the latest itunes.
has anybody an idea how to fix this??

That warning sign comes up when iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original photos. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

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).

Problem viewing photos in specific events

Recently, when I click on an event, it will not show me the grid with all my photos in that specific event. It will only show me one photo that is enlarged, and i cannot select various photos to copy over to another album or whatever i would like to do. In the past I have been able to view the set of photos in the event, but no more. I am not sure what happened. I checked the preferences and the box is checked for show event photos for Double Click Event -
Any help would be greatly appreciated-
thanks bunches

Recently I post this Message:
"two days ago when I opened iphoto program, last 3 years events are no more at my events list. I didn't deleded them, I'm the only one user of my macbook. I kept photos from 2002 up today, after I lost last 3 years events I only have 9,000 photos at library (may be there were more than 20,000 before they disappear). I found all missing photos in the iphoto library carpet, but iphoto doesn't show them for me. How can I view again these photos??"
Check these out (open iphoto library with right click mouse on it, select Show Pack content"... something like that) Your original photos must to be there

Problem viewing photos in PE Organiser

Desperately need help with a problem viewing my pics in PE 9 Organiser. Many (most) of my photos will not display properly - instead, in their frames are yellow (?)'s in the upper left hand corner and blue (?)'s in the center. That is the situation whether I am in the "thumbnail" display or the "import batch" mode of "Display".
Strangely, I have used a number of these photos in an album recently and they displayed perfectly then.
Anyone have a clue???
Thanks tons.
Sam

Saurabhh:
It seems you are absolutely right on about the missing files. My only problem now is to figure how to restore about sixty
photos to the links -- maybe I should just delete the links?
I have another problem whch you may be able to help me with if you don't mind. I've discovered that my DVD Player only recognizes .jpg or .mpg format and my Photo Elements wants to create the slideshows in .wmv. Any suggestion sfor changing that.
Thanks

Problem Importing photos from camera to iPhoto

Help. For a while I had no problems importing photos from my camera now I get the following error message:- /private/var/folders/CC/CC5eraW2GGCddoAX3DUGjE+TM/-Tmp-/iPhoto/PICT1015.JPG
Does anyone know what this means? What I have done to my computer to cause this? and how to fix it. Thank you.

Sam
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Launch Image Capture (in your Apps Folder) and use it to move the pics to the desktop. Then try import from there.
If that works, then use your camera to reformat your card, and see if that works in the future.

I have problems viewing photos in blogs using Blogger

I have a couple of blogs that I frequent and lately (within the last month or so), I am having trouble viewing photos the bloggers have posted. Sometimes the first photo will seem to load, but by the time the entire page has loaded, where there is a photo, all I can see if a small rectangle. These are bloggers who are using Blogspot/Blogger. No one else seems to be having a similar problem.
I have Firefox 3.6.13.
I have tried all the recommended things, clear cache, cookies etc. and I still can't see the photos.

Thanks cor-el
Tried all of the suggestions and it seems not to be due to an extension or theme.
The problem only seems to occur on blogs at the *.blogspot.com address, who are using Blogger software.
I wonder if there is some incompatibility between a recent version of Blogger and Firefox?? I have tried contacting Blogger, to see if there are problems, with no success, although I have found 2-year-old posts on the Web indicating some problems at that time -- nothing recent though and no suggested fix.
Any ideas?

Problem viewing photos on Facebook app

For some reason I am unable to view photos on SOME of my friends on the Facebook app. When you go to the 'photos of....' tab it says there is a problem connecting with Facebook. But when you go to another 'folder' on the same profile, you can view all of the pictures in that particular folder with no problems. Also in ANY folder I am having a problem looking at pictures over the number of about 24 or 25. It says "more pictures", and when you touch the highlight, it acts like it is loading them, then just stops.

I did once. I had a strange problem happen once where it would leave some of the pages blank where you could see your friends statuses and new photos, without having to go into their profile. The problem started before I did the recent itouch update, but has grown in the number of profiles afterwards. But I have not reinstalled it after I did the update I bought. Could that be it?

Problems viewing photos in iPhoto 11

I recently upgraded to iPhoto 11 and I am running Lion. In Events, no key photos show (all are black) although all the photos are there, because I can see tiny thumbnails when I am in the Photos screen. Also, when I double click to try to open a singular photo, I get a black screen with a triangle/exclamation point. Any answers out there for why my photos are not viewing properly? Thanks.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Problems downloading photos from camera to iPhoto

All -- I'm running iPhoto 6 on a Mac Mini with the latest version of OS10. I have a Canon PowerShot G3 and shoot 4-megapixel JPEG photos, and AVI movies. Downloading photos from the G3 to the Mac is slow, and deadly slow (as is 15 minutes or more) when there's an AVI movie or two mixed in with JPEGs. I've had to abort several downloads when they just flat out stalled.
Today when downloading a total of 58 JPEGs and 6 AVI's I got an error message - "unreadable files". 51 JPEGS and 3 AVIs downloaded fine. 7 JPEGS and 3 AVIs didn't download. The error message says "The following files could not be imported. They may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data."
Any help you all can offer would be much appreciated.
Greg

Isn't technology great? The more you learn, the more you need to learn more.
Have you viewed the iPhoto 6 tutorials? http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/new.html The section on Organizing, "Add Ratings, Titles and Comments" could be helpful.
Click on the little blue i on the lower left of the iPhoto window, and the Info Panel should pop up. Select a picture, and it shows the info for it. Select a film roll's name, and you can see and edit the info for the whole roll. Click on the roll's title in the info panel to highlight it and you can type in a new name. You can edit the date of the roll this way, and it will affect how your rolls are listed in the library. The dates "from" and "to" are generated by the dates of the items within the roll. If you type comments about a roll they will be shown below the roll's name in the library when the roll is closed. I like to keep rolls that match my camera cards, but they can be very large. So I use comments to list the events contained in the roll, so I know which roll to open when I want to find a specific photo.
If you view your library in Film Roll view then you see the rolls' names with a little triangle to the left. As in the Finder, clicking on the triangle to make it point right conceales the contents of (closes) an item, while clicking on it to turn it down reveals the items inside the item.
Now the hard part - all those dates. If the dates and times are totally wrong, I would use iPhoto's Batch change to correct them. However, only iPhoto will recognize this date change, because it won't correct the real problem, which is that the EXIF info is wrong for those pictures. There are ways of changing EXIF info which involve downloading other programs, running batch changes, and re-imprting into iPhoto. I've never done it, but I searched the iPhoto 6 forum for "EXIF rename file info" and restricted by user name Old Toad. Try this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1734147&#1734147 and note Old Toad's last post about PhotoInfo.
If you don't mind about the EXIF, then you can just redate them within iPhoto. Select a series of photos from the same date, then go to the Photos menu and select Batch Change. Select Set Date. Type the correct date and give a time for the first picture. To force iPhoto to maintain the same order within the series, check Add 1 minute between each photo. This way, although the times will be wrong, at least they will have the correct chronological sequence. (Or type in the times manually after the batch change if the order is not correct.) I always do this with rolls of actual film I get processed at a store. The photo CD I get never has the correct dates or times, so I add these to at least get them to display in my library in the correct order. As far as I know, you have to run a seperate batch change for each date that you want to change to. Unless you have a series with one photo for each day and wish to check "Add X Days between each photo."
The highest rated member (very talented) of the iMovie forum, Karsten Schluter, still tells people he's just an amateur. We all learn what we need when we need it. I am grateful for the support on these forums. Let me know how it goes.

Problems sharing photos: email, uploading, etc

EVERY SINGLE TIME I email a photo or try to upload photos to Facebook, I get the color wheel and have to FORCE QUIT iphoto. Help!

Do you have iPhoto or Mail set at your email client? You can check that in iPhoto's General preference pane:
Click to view full size
A quick first fix is this: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
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..

Problem downloading photos from iPhone to iPhoto on MacBook

I can't download photos from my iPhone 5 to iPhoto anymore. It comes up with an error message that says 'The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)' My software is up to date. The photos were taken on my iPhone, however there are also some photos that I have saved from other people who sent them as a text message. How can I save my photos please without loosing them? I have tried to save one image only, not all of them, and nothing work. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Can't view photos on dvd in iphoto 11

I have several dvd's with iphoto libraries on them that I burned with iphoto 09 or earlier. When I insert the dvds into a computer with iphoto 11, the dvd shows up with the correct title, but it says "no photos" where the photos should be displayed. The photos are still there, because if I go up into import, iphoto 11 will allow me to import the photos, but that's a pain as the thumbnails in the import menu are so small. These dvd's all still work properly when inserted into my laptop running iphoto 09. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

The library on the CD is not a full library but one that can only be partially used by iPhoto from within iPhoto.
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Insert the disk with the mini library into the optical drive and see if your can import those photos into the test library. Report back with the results.

Why am I having this problem importing photos from iPhone to iPhoto?

I'm getting the error:
Error downloading image.
iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.
when I "Import All..." from my iPhone. Trying to import individual images I get
The following file cannot be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)
IMG_0301.JPG
I can import the Photos when I am logged-in with other user profile in same macbook air.
It's not working with Image capture and Preview too.
PS: Images are not corrupt as it's getting imported through other user profile,so it's the issue with Iphoto.
I have done below steps but none of this fixed the issue:
1. Uninstalled Iphoto and installed it again.
2. Deleted the old iphoto library and created a new one.
3. Rebuild the library.
4. Repaired permissions using Disk Utility,
Could anyone give me solution for this.
Thanks in advance!!!

The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
If you are uncomfortable with using the Terminal to do the job here's another method by Linc by booting into the Recovery volume:

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:

Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:

Problem viewing photo in full screen in PSE10

Hi. Since I bough my new equipment for photo ( Canon 5D Mark III ) it is impossible to view full screen photo in the organizer of version 10 of Elements. All the update are done.
I can see 1 ou 2, and the it shows like a scratch picture. This is very important, because it is the only way I can choose between 2 or 3 pictures.
It is not my graphic card the problem, since in Adobe Lightroom 4, I dont have this problem.
What can I do, to correct this ?

Use F11 in Organizer. Use floating windows in editor.
Ohh, ok, sorry.

The beauty of floating windows is that you can maximize and minimize them individually. When cascading and tiling you can also press the tab key to temporarily get rid of all the pallets and tools. That will give greater screen real estate for examining your images. Simply press the tab key again to bring back the pallets.
Thanks, I will try using this.
Concerning F11 in Organizer, no that is my problem and what bring me here.
Like I first said, it begin with my new camera. Picture are 25 to 27mb and 5760x3840 ... taking very long to show in full screen and does not show at all after viewing 2 or 3 at the row.
