Reduce Noise Edit Won't Save

When I edit my photos and use the adjust palette, like reduce noise, the photo won't stay the way that I edited it. I click "next" or "done" and it says it's saving the changes but when I click back to the image to check if it did, all the edits that I've done are gone! Specifically the one that reduces noise. When I open the adjust palette the edits magically reappear once again, but when I am viewing them in iPhoto they disappear as soon as I close the adjust palette. I love this feature and it worked wonders, only if there was a way for me to save the changes permanently. Is there a way to fix this??
iPhoto '08
Version: 7.1

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you reduce the noise and save is the Revert to Original menu active or is it grayed out? Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
Do you Twango?
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.

  • Text edit won't save documents

    Several days ago i started having a problem i never had before in a zillion mac years.  I use Text Edit a lot, to take quick notes or copy and paste things.  I save the documents, give them a name, put them in a folder, or throw them away.  Several days ago, i had some trouble saving.  This being Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5, i have to hold down the option key to get Save As to come up in the File menu. i don't really need it because Save will ask if i want to Save As, but it took me a while to understand that and by then i was in the habit of the option key.. Anyway, a few days ago, when i would click Save As, the file menu button would light up but instead of just quickly opening a Save As window, there was a delay.  Then, the window opened and i saved. As time went by, sometimes the File menu button would light up and just sit there, no window would come, and then after maybe 10 seconds, the light would go off and no save option window came up. That is the problem i'm having now. I have a bunch of text edit documents on my desk top, Untitled, Untitled 2, Untitled 3, etc.  I can't save them.  I click on Command S, same thing happens, i try clicking the Close button (red button in upper left) but it just lights up for 5 or 10 seconds and goes off. It doesn't ask me if i want to save before closing, as it used to. 
    Has anyone heard of anything like this before?  Is there anything i can try to fix the problem and to be able to save my documents?   If i force quit, will there be a saved version of the documents anywhere?  I have a Time Capsule. i've never tried to retrieve anything from it.  What a hassle.  i'd appreciate some help if anyone has heard of this issue.  I'm able to save/save as in Preview and in Word.  As far as i know the problem is just in Text Edit. 

    Control- or right-click on the file in the Finder & choose "Compress" from the contextual menu that appears. The option is also available from the File menu in the Finder.

  • Edits won't save in iphoto

    I am having difficulty having edited a photo in iphoto.  I do the edit, click on done and the photo reverts to the original.  Help.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.  If it does iPhoto_Pref_and_Cache 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.
    If the problem does not appear in the test library then your current library is the culprit. In that case: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Soundtrack Pro Newbie - Reduce Noise Problem

    Hey Guys,
    This will probably sound like a stupid question but why is reduce noise greyed out when I try to select it? I have imported audio, selected portion of noise, set noise print - but when I select the whole file and try to reduce noise it won't let me.
    Please help
    Thanks
    Tim

    It sounds to me like you haven't isolated the noise properly. There is video on noise reduction in the Apple Tutorial online. You may find the steps there helpful.

  • Reduce Noise setting in iPhoto 08 won't save me edits

    I hope someone can help.
    Whenever I apply the Reduce Noise filter in iPhoto 08 and then click 'Done' - it doesn't save the changes that I made.
    All other effects that I apply are saved (e.g. brightness, tint etc) it is just the Reduce Noise one that doesn't save.
    I have tried exporting the photo after the 'Reduce Noise' effect has been applied. It exports the photo successfully - but when I open the photo, the 'Reduce Noise' effects have not been saved.
    Is this something that I can fix? Or is this a known bug in this version of iPhoto 08?
    If it is a bug - how do I let Apple know so that they can release an update?
    Thanks everyone - I'm new to the Mac, this in my first one, and I only got it a couple of weeks ago.

    To talk to Apple:
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    There have been reports of some folk having difficulty with some of the editing features, but nothing that makes me say it effects everyone. Somethings to try
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there.

  • Edited Account Payment Information Won't Save

    I'm trying to buy Bad Piggies HD on my iPad2 and somehow I've entered an endless loop of password and account details verification:
    1. Click Buy App button in the App Store
    2. Verification Required Window appears, I click Continue button
    3. Apple ID Password Window appears, I successfully enter my password (without error or feedback)
    4. Account Window appears, Asks me to verify my payment information which requires changes, I make the changes and click Go button
    5. Account Window closes without error or any other kind of feedback
    6. Confirmation Required Window appears, asks me if I still want to buy Bad Piggies, I click Buy Button
    7. From here it loops back to step 2, endlessly...
    It does a similar thing to me in the App Store on my Mac Mini, I log in, change the account details, it verifies them showing the updated payment details summary, then when I go back to edit them again it reverts all the payment details back to the original details.
    The reason I'm changing my account details is that my friend bought an apple dev license with his credit card and his name on my Apple ID. This is the first time I'm making a purchase with my own credit card and name on my Apple ID and it won't save my changes. Why does the app store say "Welcome *name*" where the name is the billing information name and not the Apple ID name?
    Could Apple make it any harder for customers to buy stuff from their store?

    Hi aljynxy,
    I have a couple of articles for you that might help you deal with this issue. The first can be found here, and it will be basic information on changing the credit card information:
    iTunes Store: Changing account information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
    The next article that I have for you deals with what to do if you are having an issue related to your credit card's security code or zip code:

  • IPhoto 9.6 won't save edits

    iPhoto 9.6 won't save edits. When I edit using Retouch and Crop, the pinwheel  of death also shows up. I go to the next photo and return to the one I just edited and it's the original.

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

  • PDF won't save to computer

    I download several financial statements in PDF each month and two of them, though enabled, will not allow themselves to be saved to my computer. They can be viewed, printed and edited but clicking on the save icon does nothing. The'Save to:' pop-up does not appear. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and have the most current version of reader (9.4.1). Has anyone seen this before???

    Hi,
    Yes indeed, we have the same issue. After further research, I ran across this workaround that worked for me. Of course it does not solve the Adobe problem, but it does allow for saving a PDF that does not want to be saved while opened in IE (I’m using 8). Here is a copy of the workaround.
    Of course the question remains – what is the problem and why do we have to use this workaround – very strange. Must be a compatibility issue with certain website, win 7, IE 8 and Adobe. The problem site for me was Chase.com. I called their online rep and they had know ideas.  Hope the workaround works for you.
    Here is the link where I found the workaround.

    Subject: PDF won't save to computer
    Hey Reepercheep,
    Just a note...  I have been experiencing this problem with one of my accounts since back in Reader version 8.x. The second account only started paperless before Christmas. I was willing to put up with it from one group but two with the same problem broke the camel's back (it started to become a trend!). Hopefully someone has found the magic bullit to solve this. Cheers

  • QT won't save movies, exported jpegs won't open.

    I am running the latest version of QT pro on my PC, windows XP. When editing a movie clip, I can edit to my heart's content, but when I go to save it, QT won't save it. It acts like it saves, but it doesn't.
    Also, when I export a movie to picture, the resulting image is useless. Photohop can't open it. Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can't open it...nothing works. In Windows Picure and Fax viewer (for the jpeg), I get the error message, "No review available." In photoshop (for the jpeg), the error message is: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid jpeg marker is found." When I try to open the pct file in Photoshop, it says," Could not complete your request beause the PICT file is too complex to open on this computer. Photoahop Windows supports raster PICT files only." I have a GIG of ram and the PICT file is only 65 KB. I have tried using various joeg settings, exporting as a PNG file... nothing works. What's up?
    I bought Quicktime speciically for these two functions, and neither one of them works. I have Quicktime on a mac at home and it works fine.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated!

    Looks like the update has wreaked havoc (who uses that expression nowadays, anyway?) on your PRAM settings. You can try and reset them:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

  • Song won't save in LP8

  • IOS 8 won't save red eye corrections

    I have iphone 6 and it won't save red eye edits to photos. I make edits, and they show as done. Then click on "done" and the photo reverts back to original. I tried posting to facebook and emailing, and in both cases the original photo is used not the edited one. Very frustrating, to say the least!
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    This could be a file permissions issue. Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

  • Keychain won't save. Driving me insane.

    For months the keychain would not save one password out of three email accounts with the same provider, all the same password. Finally I got some advice at the .Mac sync forum to Reset the Keychain from Preferences. That worked as it basically started over. But now there is an Amazon Seller password that won't save. I say "Yes" each time to save but it still asks each time.
    When I try to go to .Mac to change the sync'ing of Keychain I get an error saying the keychain can't be saved showing the error # -2147415734. Anyone know what that is?
    Keychain troubles yes?
    Message was edited by: Eddie Strauss

    I followed your advice and we will see. When I opened that one item in the keychain list and checked the box to 'show password' the error dialogue came up saying 'access to that item restricted'. Any idea why that would be?

  • Smart Sharpen and Reduce Noise preview windows are blank

    Hello,
    I am using Photoshop CS5 64 bit with WIndows 7
    Whenever I try to use the Smart Sharpen or Reduce Noise image menu items, the preview window for both
    these applications are always blank.
    My images are mostly 16 bit with some 8 bit but I always get the same blank preview window
    Any help would be appreciated

    Always check your LAYERS panel to ensure you've activated the image layer on which the pixels reside, and not an adjustment layer.  Also make sure you've clicked on the image if there's a layer mask present, so the filter won't be inadvertntly working on the mask.
    Assuming you're not on the wrong layer, have you checked to see whether new drivers are available from the web site of the maker of your video card?  Many, many display problems are resolved by updating display drivers.

  • InDesign CC Won't Save File

    Running InDesign 9.1
    Mac 10.8.5
    I have been using InDesign CC just fine with no issues. I have one file that I have edited for at least a couple of months and have had no issues. All of a suddent today, it won't save. It has all the options to save, but never will actually save. A co-worker can open and save it with no issue, but now I can't. Any thoughts?

    It's a known issue that you can have problems saving an InDesign file if you've dragged and dropped from the Finder or from Adobe Bridge.  It's expected that there will be an update to fix this and other performance issues before too long.
    In the meantime, using File > Place instead of drag-and-drop.
