Some modified pictures showing as original on iphoto

I have Photoshop Elements 3 for Mac and when I update my photos, the horizontal ones show up in their modified form on iphoto but the vertical ones show as the original. In the library both show the modified versions. I have to copy the folder to my hard drive and then send it to iphoto to get all the modified pictures to show on iphoto.
I always replace the originals to the modified in the library from the Photoshop application and they then show up as original.
Is there anyway to get iphoto to show the modified vertical pictures without doing this?

It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
Have you set PSE as an external editor in iPhoto. You can do this in the iPhoto => Preferences => General:
Edit using: and use the drop down menu to select PSE.
This means that when you double click on a pic to edit it will automatically open in PSE, and when you save it will be - again, automatically - be saved back into iPhoto.
Navigating through the folders of the iPhoto Library Folder is a recipe for disaster.

I trying to use organizer,and deleted folder showing up again,sometimes in double, and pictures show

I tryinfg
to use organizer: deleting my old files, and saving others for a folder called PICTURES.
Deleted fiels showing up again, sometimes in dobel.
Some saved picture show with a "?" mark in the upper right corner. With these i can not work again. Can not be found, and not in the Finder.
Plese help,
Thank you very much.

The quote is meant as a humorous tag line - a deliberate paradox (or maybe false dichotomy). I don't recall where I first came across it but have been using it since around 1992. I later found it was written by American author and humourist Sam Levenson - http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/s/sam_levenson.html.
For your Organizer problem, have you ONLY used the Organizer to move the files around or did you use the Finder as well?
If you moved or deleted with the finder this would explain the '?' you see in the images. The Organizer keeps track of where they are for itself and if you use the Finder to move or delete things the Organizer is not 'aware' of that fact.
Now if you want to remove all these '?' items from your catalog, you can use Find> All Missing Files. When it has done its thing the Organizer will show all those images where the links are no longer valid. You can use Edit> Select All to select them all and press Delete. answer 'No' to the question about deleting from hard disk.
If instead you want the Organizer to try and recreate the connections use File> Reconnect> All Missing Files. This can take a long time if there are lots missing.
Once you have the '?' items sorted out you can use Find> By Visual Searches> Duplicate photos. When it has done it's thing it will show what it thinks might be duplicates and you can choose to Delete those you don't want. In this case you probably do want to delete the duplicates from the hard disk.

Some Itune movies showing Zero KB

I have made several mac movie mpeg-4 and quicktime movies; placed them in itunes movie section. Until today, they all played and I had no problems. Today they won't play, I looked at the original file in the finder, they are now show Zero KB. I have run Disk Utility and also Disk Warrior (itunes library is stored on an external hard drive). They have been tested, repaired and verified -- the files still show up as zero kb --- However, this is not happening to all of the files; there are still some files that show thee original number of KBs. Any Ideas?

ALSO - I did already run Spotlight to re-index...twice. No change.

Syncing original (CR2) and modified pictures of iPhoto 6 on two computers

I've just faced a problem with iPhoto 6 and as I haven't found any good solution to it on Internet, I'd like to share with you all the solution I've finally applied.
I'm using iPhoto 6 both on my MacBook and my iMac. When I'm travelling I shoot in Canon Raw 2 (CR2) format, upload my pictures to my MacBook, and, eventually, I edit them in some way. When I arrive at home, I'd like to sync my iMac with Macbook's iPhoto library (both the original CR2 file and the modified files in jpg). However, this turns out to not be so easy.
I cannot just copy both the "iPhoto Library/Modified/YYYY/Rollname" and "iPhoto Library/Original/YYYY/Rollname" to iMac's iPhoto, because it isn't a file browser, but a database-based photo manager. If I import the "Original" folder with iPhoto and then copy the "Modified" folder with Finder, iPhoto won't recognise the modified picture, because according to its database that picture has never been edited.
The solution I've used it's been to import the "Original" folder, so that CR2 files are put into iPhoto. Then, modify in some random way all the images that I had edited on my Macbook (easyly identificable without the "RAW" tag), so that iPhoto will know which pictures are modified but I don't have to take care with the editing, just modify something. Next step would be to copy Macbook's "Modified" folder to the iMac. And finally, I have to execute iPhoto while keeping Command + Option keys down and select the two first options (regenerate thumbnails).
Hope this helps someone

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Well, easier might be to simply use iPhoto Library Manager to move the pics, all the versions and attached metadata between libraries.
Standard warnng: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Finding modified pictures in iPhoto

I am creating a webpage on iWeb and am trying to put edited pictures that are in my modified folders on the page, but I'm not sure how I can find my modified pictures in the media section. Whenever I want to access my modified pictures normally I do it through finder because I don't know how to find them in iPhoto. (It appears that I HAVE to use iPhoto in iWeb and can't directly import it from finder) I know they have to be there somewhere because I tried to drag the particular modified folder I wanted into iPhoto and it says it is already there. Also I notice when I search for a particular folder in finder the path that it got there was through iPhoto then either original or modified.
Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I've been working on it for a bit now and just can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Okay so I found this thread and it helped for future reference as far as how I can save the files in a way that I can have the edited pictures in iPhoto http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2438840&tstart=0 My only question with that is, are my originals still somewhere? Also often I like to edit a picture a few different ways, is there a way that I can edit the same picture a few different ways and have them show up in iPhoto?
How can I get photos that I have already edited and "saved as" which I now know is a no-no. There is no way I can go back through and re-edit them all. There has got to be a way somehow to add my already edited but saved wrong pictures into iPhoto so I can put them on my iWeb page.

Some of my pictures will not sync from iPhoto

I have an original iPad and an iMac (Early 2009) running Lion. All of my pictures won't sync from iPhoto to the iPad. I used to get an error message when I was running Leopard, before upgrading to IOS 5 on the iPad. I no longer get the error message, but some events just won't transfer. I seem to remember something about optimizing pictures??
Does anyone have any ideas?
Ralph

Thanks! I thought I had done that, but I was deleteing the wrong cache. It was important that I deleted the cache in the iPhoto directory, which I couldn't figure out how to access. I needed to use the "Show Package Contents" option on the dropdown menu of the "iPhoto Library" folder.
All is fixed and I have all my pictures on my iPad.

IPhoto for iOS : Impossible to delete modified pictures ! Bug ?

Hi everyone,
Just downloaded iPhoto for iOS yesterday. Amazing apps except for one thing.
It seems that it's impossible to delete a modified picture and the modified pictures album !
I even tried to delete the original one in the Photos app but now I can't see my original (which is fine) but I'm still seeing the modified version !
Do I really need to delete the app and reinstall it in order to delete the picture ?
Thanks.

Are you sure ?
Couple of questions if so :
-> every time I make a change to a picture there's the "modified pictures" album that gets created. If I delete the original picture, the modified one stays here forever even if I revert to original. Impossible to delete ?
-> I you only have one picture in your library and you hide it, it's impossible to acces it again. I had to take another picture to show the first one ! It's not a bug ?

I had to get a new hard drive and some of my pictures show up but when I go to click on them to open them there is a triangle with an exclamation mark.

How about the most likely occurance - something incorrect about how the iPhoto library was transfered
What version of iPhoto '11 (9.4.3 is the latest)?
exactly how was your iPhoto library transfered to your new hard drive
This indicates that there is a problem in the iPhoto database - a possible solution to try is Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
Why did you get a new hard drive? What kind of backup do you have?

I have 15000 photos in my 1Phooto library in 58 events. I have also made 27 slide shows from some of these events. When opening iPhoto, the photoscome up slmost instantly but the side bar seems to take forever to come up. Is there s limit to the amount of photos yu can have or to the amount if items in the side bar?

Try this basic troubleshooting technique: 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 - reboot
4 - 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.

Easily accessing Original and Modified pictures

Example: When I want to access picture files that are originals and modified and upload them to the internet, but when I access the iPhoto folder there are two separate folders (Original folder & Modified folder). Is there an easy way to actually put both the original and modified pictures into the same folder so you can access both kind of pictures?
(Kind of a wierd question) Just thought it would be easier to access pictures this way.

Lets say I modify a picture and iPhoto keeps the original picture also isn't it taking up a lot of space on the hard drive?
IF space is an issue you can run iPhoto from an external HD. IF you don’t want to do that, +and don’t want to preserve the Original+ then - very simply - don’t use iPhoto.
Also I could still delete the original picture but it would have to be through the Finder or another hard drive.
Yes you could. And, as it’s your Mac and your photos feel free to do anything you want.
*But iPhoto won’t work if you do*.
Remember: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

I have transferred my pictures from a PC to iPhoto but some have remained in a pictures folder. How can I move them to pictures?

what is WP files?
You want to always use iPhoto with a default referenced library (the preference to copy imported item to the iPhoto library is checked) ad then delete the source photos

I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad. Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room. Now trying to get some pictures and music on. Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway. Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" So I hit cancel. Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

No pictures show up in iPhoto Library on my hard drive.

When I try and find my pictures on my hard drive, there is only a iPhoto Library icon but no pictures show up. I upgraded my iLife to '08 and now I can't find the folder in which my pictures are stored. I can't drag and drop the pictures from iPhoto for everything! Say I wanted to upload the picture on MySpace, I click Browse and find the iPhoto Library icon but it's not a folder! Is there a different place they are stored? Or do I have to drag and drop everything to my iDisk in order to have a folder with my pictures in it? Any help would be great.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
iPhoto is not designed to network with Windows machines. Does Windows understand Alias files? If so the hack detailed above should solve the problem.
The library format is v6 was a hack too, it was never the intended use of the iPhoto Library Folder that it should be browsed by users or other software.
Now they are in a proprietary format?
No, it's a UNIX package file. Right-Click on the pkg file and choose 'Show Package Contents'... nothing hidden or proprietary there.
Can I export all the photos in one shot to create a mirror of the library so other machine with iLife can see the photos?
Why do that when you can use Sharing?
If you want the other machine to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running. On the other machine, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in her source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running on both machines for this to work.
You can, if you choose, export the lot into a folder, but this won't be updated when you add new pictures or make changes.
If not, how do I go back to iLife 06?
Have you got a v6 library untouched? If so, simply install v6 and use on the v6 library. If you don't have a v6 library, then you'll need to re-install v6 and then create a new library from scratch. v6 cannot read a v7 library.

Sounds like you got a store demo. Look in your settings and see if you see "Demo Mode/Demonstration Mode" or something similar.

Some images are showing with some red color ¿how do I return to original colors?

I`m using Mountain Lion and everything works right. Only some images are showing with a redish color. The first example is my cover photo in fb. When I click it, it returns to the original color. Anyone who has this problem and know how to fix it?
This is fb cover preview:
This is the original, when cliked:
It happens with some thumbnails too.

Hi Klaus,
this didn't solve my problem but helped me choose Firefox over Safari.
thanks for the reply.
