Problems with filesize after exporting and scaling photos

I gave digital photo frames as Christmas gifts and wanted to load them up with many years worth of family photos, so I exported hundreds of photos from iPhoto and scaled them down to roughly 400 by 300 pixels to be used in the low resolution digital photo frames. The files vary in size from 40K to 100K.
The entire folder of over nearly 1,000 photos is only 86.2 megabytes in size.
However, when I went to copy the photos onto a new 512 megabyte SD card, only a couple dozen photos would transfer before I would get an error message saying there was no room left on the card. The finder would show over 400 megabytes available, but if I tried to drag even one more 40K photo on, I would get the same out-of-room error message.
I tried reformatting the card several times and several ways (including disk utility), but same problem. So I tried different SD cards, but same result. I tried CF cards, but same result. I tried different card readers, tried dragging the photos over one at a time, tried copying them with PhotoMechanic, tried doing it all from a different Mac, but always the same result.
It seems like there must be some hidden files being copied along with the photos that are taking up that extra space on the card. Never had anything like this happen before. It only affects these files that were exported through iPhoto 6.0.5 and scaled to a smaller file size. So I'm sure the problem must be there.
Has anyone had anything like this happen before? The organization and editing of all these photos took many hours so I would love to find a solution without having to start the entire process over.
Thanks.

I found a solution--though I don't understand why it works.
I was dragging photos (either in a group of hundreds of photos or individually) onto the card so they resided on the top level of the card's system heirarchy. That's when I would always get the "out-of-room" error message.
But when I inadvertantly dragged the entire FOLDER full of hundreds of photos onto the card, it worked fine. I guess the card structure allows for a folder full of hundreds of photos, but not those same photos when they are not in a folder.

Problem with image after exporting from Lightroom 5

Good day. Please can someone help me? I have Lightroom 5, and I have a problem in exporting edited images. At issue, do all the necessary settings and retreat noise and sharpness adjustment by brush adjustment tool, however, to export the image, noise and some minor adjustments are lost. Because in Lightroom visualize the way you wish, but after export, is not it the same? How do I get a different result? Thank you all!

I have the same problem!
Something got broken with my Lightroom 5.6 (Windows 7Pro) two days ago and I don't see any adjustments made with brush after exporting photos!
It's not a problem of library or RAW files - the same, work fine on other computers (iMac).
I tried to clean the computer with CC Cleaner Tool, and install everything again, but it didn't help.
I already lost 2 days trying to fix it, and I don't want to format the drive and install Windows again
Can anyone help?

Problems with iPhoto after exporting library to external hard disk

Hello all,
I am using iPhoto 8 on an iBook G4. I recently attempted to back up my iPhoto library to an external hard disk. I did this by dragging the iPhoto library to the external hard disk. I did not delete the library on my own computer. Since I've done this, iPhoto has not been problematic. For instance, when I attempt to open an event on my computer, I can not see the thumbnails of all the photo's in the event - iPhoto will display each individual photo in sequence. If I want to print a picture, I have to export the entire event - I can't just drag the thumbnail to my desktop. Also, when I attempt to upload new pictures from my camera it produces an error.
Does anyone know what might be going on? I need to be able to access my photo's, so can anyone give me some advice on how to fix whatever I've done?
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

iPhoto will display each individual photo in sequence.
There's a slider lower right of the iPhoto Window - drag it left.
Why are you exporting to Print?
when I attempt to upload new pictures from my camera it produces an error.
What does the error say?
As for accessing your pics:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Sound Problem with Imovie09 after export to idvd

Hi !
When I export my project to IDVD, I've got problem with the soundtrack of my project,the original sound of my videos disappear, I can hear "ghost" sounds (like wind) of my videos but at wrong place in the project. It doesn't appear in the timeline of imovie.
Can someone help me ?

Hi, Paul,
iMovie 'renders' slo-mo in a way that you don't really want--as you discovered. So, get your movie into iDVD without letting iMovie render it. Try doing it this way:
Instead of sending your iMovie to iDVD from within iMovie, close iMovie.
Open iDVD, and create a new project. Click on the 'custom' button, and navigate to the 'Media' tab. Select 'Movies' and find your iMovie in the little window. Drag it onto the iDVD screen. Be sure not to put it into a drop zone. Then, make the titles and buttons the way you wish.
Save the DVD as disk image. You can play that after it is finished to see if the sound is what you want. If so, go ahead and burn your DVD.
Hope this helps!!

BIG problems with setup after Archive and Install

It all began when I was preparing a G3 iMac to be used - as a trial - by a Windows user. I wanted to preserve the existing accounts so created a new user. I then forgot the new user password (didn't write it down, did I) and had already set it up to go straight to the login screen on boot. Do you think I could then remember the user name of the original account(this time I knew the password)? I researched and was able to set up a new password for the System Administrator via the Install Disk, and hoped that it would show me the existing user names - it didn't. Despite my best efforts, I was still unable to login. By this stage, the gremlins were really getting to me.
I then decided to do an Archive and Clean Install - after I had repaired disk permissions, disk etc. So far so good, as everything seemed to go OK and the Mac restarted and presented the Welcome screen and I proceeded with setup, like it was a brand new Mac.
After going through the first couple of screens where Apple collects information and moving onto where you can start setting up accounts, the thing just hangs with a blank screen with a grey horizontal line about two-thirds down prior to actually reaching this account setup stage. In spite of every other attempt, I just cannot past this stage. Truly weird.
Next, I upgraded my Firewire Disk from OS9 to OSX using the same installation disks and everything went swimmingly, including the creation of accounts. I have been able to boot normally from this Firewire disk and can see everything on my internal HD. I tried reinstalling the OS again - it still hangs in exactly the same set up stage - "siiigh". I'm now getting seriously ****** off with this process and have more or less decided to clone all the appropriate files from the internal HD, erase the drive and start all over again!
I really don't want to go to this level, and besides, I'm really curious to find out what on earth has gone wrong, and hope forum members can help me out here. I appreciate all responses..... Thanks

IDE HDs don't last all that long... 4 year old ones make me hold my breath!
Thanks for your reply. If the internal drive is bad, why didn't it show up when I ran Disk Utility repair? I don't think I'll try to resurrect it now if that is a possibility.
I had thought of swapping the drive in the Firewire case into the iMac and vice-versa. I have to say that this G3 has now been replaced by a newish MacBook - chiefly to preserve using Tiger (with Classic support) for all the legacy items that my partner was using on the G3. My partner's 91 y.o. mother will be visiting from Perth (the other side of Oz from us) and loves using the Mac, so I now propose the following:
1. Retrieve critical files (if any left) from the G3 internal HD;
2. Swap the drive as above - mind you, I've never changed an HD in an iMac, but after 20 years of mucking around with all sorts of Macs, fancy my chances here - especially as I come from the READ THE MANUAL school of support.
3. Buy a new IDE HD for the Firewire case, load it up with troubleshooting apps. which would then give me a tool for looking after our other Macs.
Any other suggestions?

Problem with video after exporting

Hey, I finished my project and exported it to a quicktime file and it looks really good and plays fine. My problem is that every time I try to put it on a CD, DVD or memory card it always plays fine for a few seconds then freezes as the audio keeps going. Then I can skip ahead and it will play a little more then freeze and glitch a lot.
I don't even know if this is final cut related, but does anyone know what the problem is?
I am exporting another version to try but it takes a while.
Thanks
Spencer

Nope -- you have your answer.
Sounds like you want to put data files (movies) onto a data holder and play it from there.
I like File - Export - Quicktime Conversion - Change Default to BROADBAND HIGH and hit the options button and change the SIZE to 480x270 if you want widescreen or leave it as is for 4:3.
Those should play fine on data media like a CD or a data dvd.
NOW -- if what you really want is your media saved on a DVD so you can play it on a set top DVD player (or any dvd player for that matter....) that's another story.
Is THAT what you want to do?
Else - pull the media you've saved on the DATA media and put it on your HD... will play fine from there.

Problem with video after export

This problem just started. I've learned to export via compressor. The only thing I've done differently, I think, is select "De-Interlace"... but I don't really think that's the problem. I could be wrong. Anyway... when opening this file in quicktime, it is fine. See here:
When I go into full screen, this happens:
Oh no! What happened? I want to burn some DVDs to send to film festivals and stuff like this makes me nervous. What did I do?

Problems with response after startup and crashing

For the last few days, when I start up my macbook pro, it is firstly taking a little more than usual to start up. Then when it does log in, I can move the cursor around with the track pad but I can't click on anything for about 10 minutes. After that, the computer has crashed with spinning beach balls several times. I did have a new battery fitted at genius store 2 weeks ago, could this be the cause or something else? Should I get back to genius bar?
thanks in advance

Could be they moved something to install the new battery and didn't Re-Connect it firmly. Or your drive is starting to fail. That system is now 3 or close to 3 years old. Hard drive don't last forever.

My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management

I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please? I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.
<Edited by Host>

Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

Thank you for answer

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning? Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.

File name and Title are not the same thing.
Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

Problems with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4 after upgrade to Snow Leopard. Has anyone seen this?

We've just now upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and are having a problem with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4. A clip with an alpha which keyed perfectly before the upgrade, now will not key. If I convert the clip to the Animation codec, it keys perfectly. If I export the Motion project as a ProRes 4444 self contained movie, it will key when brought into FCP 7 but if I import the project into FCP 7, it will show the key in the viewer but not the canvas. Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions on how to correct this? Is it a bug?
Thanks,

Motion 4.0.3
It just doesn't seem to recognize the alpha at all.

IPhoto Export and HUGE Photo Sizes

So, I love iWeb and iPhoto 6 -- it works for my needs. But I have one major complaint after spending time organizing my photo library. The whole idea was to be able to re-arrange and update my website with two clicks: Export and Publish. But when you export to iWeb the original file size is exported to iWeb and used in the published site, regardless of the other scaling that goes on, for thumbnails, etc. This is a problem for two reasons. One, it slows down the site and two, I don't want my original full sized files out there for anyone to steal and print high quality copies. Now, if I export files to the web through the file menu, I can constrain the image size that is created. I suppose I could just drop the resulting folder right into iWeb, but then there goes the two click updating. And I'll be forever creating, managing and deleting additional file copies of my iPhoto images. So much for quick and easy. Am I overlooking something here? Is there something that I can adjust in iWeb, because this just seems like a silly omission and one, if true, MUST be corrected in the next updates.

I am going to offer not a 2 click solution but just an idea.......
First of all, iWeb only displays images at a max dimension of 800px, therefore as you say exporting larger images and not scaling them down seems a little silly!
My idea builds on what you kinda suggested above.
1. Your have your iPhoto album organized
2. In iPhoto, select all images in the album go to File>Export - Export your images to a new folder.
3. Create a new iWeb-YourAlbum Name in iPhoto
4. Drag the photos from your new folder into the album.
5. Now do the 2 click publish that you originally wanted!!
But, as you say Automator should be able to handle some of this, Preview>Scale Images???
If you get something that works it would be great if you post back so that others can have the ability to do the same

Problems with X3 after updating

Hi,
first, it is possible that I will use some wrong expressions because my phone language is actually German.
Last week I updated my phone from v6.11 to v8.4.
Before, I saved my files to the memory card, afterwards I restored them. It said "Settings reset" and there were the problems I will describe; I tried to restore again, but I could not choose the menu item "programs and games" now.
So, now
- all the themes and ringtones are gone
- the rest of my programs seems to be links named with with file type ".rms" which is "not supported" (All 4,0 MB and named chat_xxx, conv_xxx, isuite_xxx, mynokia_xxx or wocl_xxx), including the calculator which didn't leave a trace.
- my games are playable 'cause I saved them manually on my memory card - but the ones I added after I bought the phone don't work (message: invalid program. Delete?)
- I can't download a (special) program from ovi store (which I didn't try before the update, because of that I don't know if it's perhaps a problem of my provider) (message: certificate not on telephone or SIM)
- when I choose "All photos" it says "no photos to show", but I can open them over "contents -> memory card -> pictures". The camera saves the photos there, too, but it doesn't show them either.
I wonder now if it helps
- restoring the first backup again, but just "gallery files" and "programs and games" (which is chooseable again now) (this, I think, would not solve the problems with my memory games and the invalid file types of my games)
- making another backup and do the update again (will the first update then be chooseable again? I don't want to give up my programs, themes and ringtones... Can I restore them from the first backup and the rest from the second?
I would have tried the second possibility if I knew if it is possible... Please answer that, or, if you have a better solution, please give it to me.
Regards
Philip

Hi Philip,
If you still have this issue (and have not tried yet), try to reset your device by selecting Menu > Settings > Restore factory settings > Restore all.
And before restoring your backup check that all preloaded themes and ringing tones are working. Then try restoring apps and games from your backup again.
If some apps/games are not working after restore it's most probably because those are DRM protected and those you would need to reinstall.
