Snow leopard and iPhoto

Since updating to Snow Leopard iPhoto has behaved badly.
I can no longer view photos uploaded in full screen mode on my iMac
double clicking on uploaded photos no longer produces a full size photo
Have others had this problem?

Same here! I just barely installed Snow Leopard and now when I work with in iPhoto with any image over about 1 MB, my screen totally freaks out, going into a diagonal/triagonal geometric patterns of red and green. These especially show up as I try to zoom in and work with the photo in any way- color balancing, etc. Sometimes the color, saturation, and other image control sliders don't respond as readily either, and do not show the true changes just made, with odd bllinking/jerking of the screen, going in and out to show the change made and then flipping back to the way it was before, etc.
I am ABSOLUTELY sure that this is an issue with Snow Leopard. NEVER happened before that.
Hello Apple? Any response?

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

HELP!! i have a ton of videos of my boys stored in iPhoto..They played fine on my old OSX system (leopard). However, I just upgraded to snow leopard and then to mountain lion and now i can't open my videos at all anymore. HELP!!

Can you tell us about one or more of the video files - what are they? QuickTime? MP4? Something else? How did you create the video files in the first place?
I do a lot of video and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I discovered that many of the QT videos that I had created previously (via iMovie & Final Cut) would not play correctly in QuickTime X - the bizarre behavior was that QT X acted as if my video files were only audio files! I reported this to Apple at the time but never heard anything back, and there hasn't been any change in later updates to QT X.
The solution was to (re)install QuickTime 7. But first look in your Applications > Utilities folder. When you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, the installer normally moves the old QT 7 program to your Utilities folder. If it's there, try using QT 7 to play one of your video files. If QT 7 is not there, you can download and install it from here Make sure you are running at least OS X 10.6.3 before you install QT 7. It's even better if you make sure you are running 10.6.8 which was the last release of Snow Leopard.

IPhoto says it won't import photos from my Fujifilm Finepix S1000 camera because it's the wrong format (jpeg). It always has before... but I upgraded to Lion then went back to Snow Leopard and now it's not working. Suggestions? 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?

HT1386 I installed Snow Leopard and have the latest version of iTunes. However, when I connect my iPhone, it charges and iPhoto opens, but iTunes doesn't seem to recognize the iPhone. It simply doesn't appear in the left column. What gives?

I had Snow Leopard and upgraded to Mavericks, and did the various up-grades. Today when I went to open iPhoto, I got a message "iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it". Now what?

I had Snow Leopard, and up-graded to Mavericks, and did the various up-grades in iPhoto to become compatible with
Maverick. Today, when I tried to open iPhoto I got this message: "iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do
not have permission to make chages to it". Now what? I can't access my iPhoto Library.

First open the iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:'
Look for the file named iPhotoLock.data and move it to the Trash in the Dock. Launch iPhoto and see if that helped.
If not 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 and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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 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.

In limbo between Snow Leopard and Lion. would love to make everything work in 10.6.8 again.

I had installed Lion, and saw that a number of my applications were no long available (including Quicken, Microsoft Office, some profession specific applications, not sure what else. You can't even update the older Quicken files to newer versions in Lion). This happened to coincide with my harddrive crashing. Off to the Genius bar, luckily I back up with Time Machine. I had Snow Leopard reinstalled as part of the visit to the Genius bar. Now I have the problem of other applications no longer working with Snow Leopard. iPhoto, Desktop/screen saver in System preferences, Mail seems to have lost all old emails and preferences. I am still looking around to see what else is acting quirky.
So, at this point I am trying to figure out how to get things working in Snow leopard again, or find out if I need to update other applications to be Lion compatible, and if I am stuck going back to Lion, (I kinda prefer Snow Leopard) How do I determine how many and which unsupported applications I would need to update before doing so.

thank you William for taking the time to help.
Just going to take a moment to be clear on what is going on with my MacMail. It seems that any messages that I had in my generic mailbox are all still there, however I had several addtional mailboxes for sorting out mail from different companies, people, etc. I also had Rules for all the corresponding mailboxes. These all seem to have disappeared. Also I seem to be running Version 4.5 (1084).
I can't seem to find the Library folder you mention. I went "Finder>Go>Home" clicked on home and I got a folder containing the following folders (plus a few others) Applications, Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc...
Am I looking in the right place. I also did a spotlight search for "Library" and no folders with that name came up.
I am not sure how much of a speed bump that is.
Thank you again for your help

IPhoto is not included in any OS upgrade. It is a seperate application. Unless you choose to erase your drive when you upgrade no application including iPhoto is affected by the upgrade (except potential compatibility issues). If you need to reinstall iPhoto for and reason you do it from the original source. Either
1- the restore disks that came with your computer
Or
2- the iLife DVD upgrade that you purchased
Or
3- the App store

Upgrade to Snow Leopard disabled iPhoto editing capabilities

Upgraded to Snow Leopard, using iPhoto 8.1 (415).
Problem: Scanned numerous photographs at color 600 dpi on Canon Pixma500, then exported scans to jpeg, then imported into iPhoto
Result: Many will not edit. Here are the symptoms:
(1) Using full screen edit, the screen becomes blank.
(2) If while screen blank, "resize" slide is moved, then small preview screen shows up, with the thumbnail in it, but still major edit screen is blank.
(3) On some photos, if choose "crop" then entire photo will show up, but some will "jump back" to their original size, even after being cropped.
(4) Some images show up in the edit window, but will simply not edit, e.g., no sharpness, saturation or any other change will appear.
(5) For photo that is cropped, and then "jumps back" to its original size, an export file to tiff and re-import of the tiff shows a cropped file.
(6) For some photos, if the crop is a non-standard dimension (custom), then instead of cropping the image, iPhoto actually distorts it! For example if a photo was cropped into a 1 by 7 strip, the image would stretch out into that small strip.
(7) Exporting to tiff and then re-importing to edit does not work for color photos.
(8) same problem occurs for scanned (600 dpi) black and white photos.
(9) Attempts to edit older photos imported from iPhone, which previous before Snow had beed editable, failed, with the same results.
(10) Reading the discussions, there is plenty of information on this. The following do NOT appear to have any effect on the problem: (1) rebuilding the iPhoto library, (2) doing crazy stuff like reinstalling the system, (3) building a new Preferences file, (4) Building a new library, (5) using a back up copy of the photos.
Conclusion: Upgrade to Snow Leopard has temporarily destroyed ability if iPhoto to edit.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is having this issue.
I have iPhoto 09, version 8.1 (415) - after upgrading to Snow Leopard the editing feature if iPhoto appears to be broken.
What happens is when I edit a picture, the whole screen goes black, the tools appear to edit if I move the mouse, I even get the thumbnails across the top, but just a black screen where the picture will be. I will say that it does this 90% of the time. Every once in a while some pictures will open in the editor but if I go to the previous and then back it may or may not show back up.
I have a pretty big library with pictures from multiple cameras. It cannot be isolated to one particular camera. This problem started after I did my Snow Leopard upgrade.
Things I have tried:
-Rebuild the library
-Edit in the main window vice full screen
-remove and re-install iPhoto from disc
-I even started iPhoto holding the option key, created a new library, uploaded just a few images to the new library and experienced the same problem. So this isolates that it does not appear to be a library issue.
Any thoughts? Anyone else having this issue?

Will the Genius Bar install Snow Leopard and Aperture 3 for me...?

I have an iMac 20" Core 2 Duo with Leopard. RAM is maxed at 3GB. All my data is backed up on a external HDD using Time Machine.
I need upgrade to Snow Leopard in order to get Aperture 3 (which I need in order to read RAW photos from my new camera).
Anyway, ever since I upgraded to Leopard I haven't been thrilled with my iMac's performance (I did the quick upgrade instead of the complete rebuild). So I want to wipe it clean this time and start over with a fresh install of Snow Leopard. The iMac is 3 years old now, so I think it's time for a fresh start.
I'm not comfortable doing this myself. Will the Genius Bar do this for me? I'm happy to buy the Snow Leopard and Aperture upgrades. But will the Genius Bar charge me? Or will they do it for free since I paid them already for the software?
Thanks for your help!

I do not know if they would do that or not; I believe there is a maximum time limit for a Genius Bar appointment and these kinds of installs may take longer than that. And, it is truly easy to do; your performance problems may not have had anything to do with the OS, but possibly some incompatible third party software or some other corruption. So, I'm not trying to change your mind, but if you want to try it yourself, there are a lot of people here who'd be able to walk you through it.
Now, another idea: did you know that iPhoto supports RAW formats? You can find many help articles like this one by going to Apple support and typing iPhoto RAW into the search field:

Snow leopard and photshop elements 4

Hi. Apple have transferred photoshop elements 4 onto my new imac with snow leopard and I find I can't pull photos through from the iphoto library using the "open" facility in pse4. Is this an unsolvable scenario - or is there a wrok around?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As far as I could tell, I couldn't run Photoshop Elements 4 on an Intel Mac. Version 6 is available and can run from an Intel Mac. You might be able to change PSE 4 to be Intel Mac compatible if your plugins aren't PowerPC based by selecting Open in Rosetta from the application's Get Info window in the Finder.
If that doesn't work http://www.lemkesoft.com/ 's GraphicConverter is a low cost alternative to Photoshop Elements on Snow Leopard.

Unable to import or copy photos from a time machine back up saved from snow leopard into iPhoto now running on lion

unable to import or copy photos from a time machine back up saved from snow leopard into iPhoto now running on lion

The correct method of restoring photos from Time Machine is to restore the entire library.
The way that TM backs up files makes nearly impossible to go into the backup via the Finder and recover individual files. So you will have to restore a library that contains the photos you need being sure to select the option to keep both versions.
Then open the restored library and export those photos you need. Open your original library and import those photos. After that you can delete the recently restored library.
