Some Photo's dropped into Stationary placeholder don't resize

Why do some photos dropped into stationaries placeholders take on their full size rather than automatically resize to fit the place holder. These photos once dropped do not bring up the resize HUD when double clicked on the as well.
Is doesn't appear to be the type of image as I have had both jpeg & tiff photos produce this problem.

Can I improve the question to get some input?

When I try to simply add a few photos (from Events) into a newly created Album, it always creates a Folder for the photos to go into. I don't need a Folder. I just need the photos to go into the Album. What am I doing wrong?

When I try to simply add a few photos (from Events) into a newly created Album, it always creates a new Folder - a sub folder to the new Album I just created - for the photos to go into. I don't need a Folder! I just need the photos to add into the Album. What am I doing wrong?

Sometimes it takes a precise drop to get it into the album. Make sure you see the album highlighted before releasing the mouse:

Hi, I'm a bit low on memory and I can't update the iOS. I need to move some photos off the iPad but I don't want to transfer them to a pc, I'd prefer to transfer them to iCloud and leave them there. Is that possible?

Yes, you could, because in this case you would have something like a backup in the cloud. BTW, personally I also like Flickr. Flickr offers you 1 TB (1000 GB) of free storage and automatic upload for photos since iOS 7 (it is a very attractive offer, at least for me)

IPhoto randomly stopped letting me drag/drop photos into finder. It's been working all week and all of a sudden, the photos bounce back into iPhoto and don't copy. I tried to rebuild the iPhoto library using the ALT CMD buttons, but that didn't work...

Any suggestions?

What happens if you export the photo (file menu ==> export)?
What do you see if you right click on one ane reveal in finder?

Photo's dropped into Themes do not render

When I use either the black refelction or white reflection theme some of the photo's render either half cut off or as diagonal lines.
This is driving me nuts!
Anyone have a work around for this problem ?

Please say more about exactly what happens. Are you saying that one side of the photo is cropped off?
Note there are certain drop zones that do not have the same aspect ratio as most photos. In that case, iMovie crops the photo to fit the drop zone. Note, however, that in that case iMovie lets us move the photo around inside the drop zone to control the cropping. Click on the drop zone, then press the Option key. Two arrows appear, at the top/bottom of the drop zone, or at the left/right side. Drag the photo the direction of the arrows to crop the photo.
Are you saying the image itself is replaced by diagonal lines? The image changes?
Say more about what type of images they are. Particularly their size, in pixel dimension. If quite large, you might try using iPhoto to make them smaller.
If you're seeing a real distortion in the image, I suggest you start by removing and third-party iMovie plug-ins and third-party QuickTime add-ons. More about those here:

Have you upgraded to iMovie 6.0.2? That fixed some theme issues.

I want to remove some photos from my iPad--but I don't want to remove them from my Mac. How do I remove photos using the iPad itself?

I want to remove a few photos from my iPad, but not from my Mac (from-to which I sync). Is this possible? I can get the "delete" button to show on the iPad, but it is not fully lit--i.e. pressing it does no good.

You can delete photos that you took on the pad, and photos that you imported from the camera connection kit right on the pad. That delete button will work on those.
Photos that you synced from the mac get deleted by resyncing. When you connect the pad, push the photos tab, uncheck sync all, and then select only the photos you want on the pad. The mac acts like the master storage unit, and all the photos will stay there (unless you delete them in i photo) and copies are placed onto the pad.
Photos you take on the pad, by the way, dont get moved to the mac during a sync, you need to import them to iphoto. While the pad is connected, open up i photo, and the pad will show up as a device on the left side. You can select which pad photos you want to import. Those photos are now part of the master copy on the mac, and can be synced back to the pad, or not, as you decide.

Imported photo and video into aperture. Now missing

I imported some photos and video into aperture last night. I also imported 14,000 jpegs from an SD card shot on a gopro. I checked it was all in four seperate folders in aperture and even wached one folders content as a slideshow. I left my Mac on last night. When I returned to do more work all last nights imports were gone. I am no expert in aperture and have had no problems before.
I contacted apple support and was advised to delete aperture (not the library) and get the up to date version from App store. This I did but still no sign.
Where should I be looking. I haver done all the usual searches of the project names I saved etc. HELP

Thanks Leonie
I have looked at GraphicConverter and I'm considering a purchase. I have been trying various free tools for fiddling with metadata but none have ever been entirely satisfactory.
What I particularly like about Aperture's geotagging is that you can drag and drop on to a Google map - nice and easy. But I hate that I have to export the image in order to embed - I have a decent DSLR now so there's no way I will run those original images through an export process - Aperture definitely does interefere with the image as well as the metadata! I wish Aperture would allow proper writing of metadata to masters - other forums confirm it can only write IPTC metadata, and even that appears to be flaky! I don't want all my information to be tied in to Aperture - each master file should 'stand alone' with all its relevant information intact, for any tool I choose to use to interact with it, or if I should send it to anyone else.
I can't see from their website - is there a user-frendly interface in GraphicConverter for geotagging including a map drag-and-drop? Or do you manually have to enter coordinates in to metadata fields? I assume you can edit IPTC and EXIF metadata to add keywords and things? This would be a useful tool alongside Aperture, to make up for its shortcomings.
I could use GraphicConverter to add geotags (and keywords) prior to import in to Aperture as part of my import process. At least until I get a camera with GPS and then all this will be a thing of the past!
I will investigate with videos and post back here with any results.My research on the web is very inconclusive and it looks like different manufacturers use different conventions for video geotags, so I'll see what I can do!
Personally I find geotags one of the most valuable pieces of metadata I can attach to my personal images and videos, alongside date and time, so i am determined to find a way to do both!!

Can't import some photos?

In iMovie 09 I can't import certain photos from iPhoto library (or directly in Finder). Some photos when dragged into the Project Pane just don't get added to the project. All my photos are jpgs and they're all larger than the project resolution I'm using.
Some photos do work - and I just can't work out what the distinction is. Is it a bug - or is there something with the type of photo I'm using.
I didn't have this problem in iPhoto 08 - does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
PS I've got Advanced Tools enabled

Have you tried deleting iPhoto's and iMovie's preference files?
(Found at Home(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist; and com.apple.imovie.plist)
With both iPhoto and iMovie closed, drag these plist files to the trash. New ones will be created when you reopen the apps.
The iMovie plist file may say iMovie8 or 9. Be sure to trash the correct one.
I had this happen to me 2 nights ago. None of my photos would import into iMovie. Trashing iM's plist resolved the issue.

Dropping a photo from iPhoto into an Apple Mail stationary pane placeholder

With regard to Apple Mail and the stationary pane templates, why is that sometimes I can drop a picture in from iPhoto '11 in the placeholder, and other times I cannot? Sometimes some photos will work and others won't. Other times no photos will work. And still other times all photos work. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason as to when it works and when it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? I checked with the iPhoto community and they seem to think it's a Mail issue.

Next time that happens check to see if you can drag the photo to the Desktop from iPhoto. You can try repairing the permissions in the library via iPhoto as follows:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - apply option #1.

Problem dragging some photos into book.. they don't show at all.

I have a problem dragging some photos into a book. I've never had this issue before. I can tell that "something" has moved because it often has a ! for resolution issues and the photo has the white check that signifies it has been used....but the photo doesn't show at all.
The photos were made into sepia prints.
Help! Any suggestions about what could be wrong?
Thanks for any advice.

The ! indicates that iPhoto has broken/lost the file path to the original file. Make a backup copy of the library and run the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
Fix #2
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
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 User/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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
Fix #3
Start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder. I have never had a problem with this before. This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder. Nothing happens.

I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder. I have never had a problem with this before. This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder. Nothing happens.
I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available. It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
I have never had this problem before. It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
I really appreciate it.

YES Terence! Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option.
I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs. I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly. I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working.
Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?! I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires.
Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

Really stupid that you can't drag and drop photos from Finder into Events

There is no way in iPhoto to do what I want and need to to, to wit, drag and drop photos from the Finder into existing iPhoto Events.
It really doesn't make sense that you can't do this. First of all, calling these groups Events to begin with is not smart; in my case, a group of photos in a folder on the Finder is rarely all from one photo session or so-called "event"--- instead of Events they should just be called Groups or something, and you should be able to drop individual photos into them. I have thousands of family photos that were accumulated on my hard drives over the years, some scanned in from film negatives, slides, or prints, others from digital cameras, and when I have changed Macs and hard drives over the years, every time a folder of photos was moved from an old hard drive to a new one, or regrouped into various folders, the photos seem to have acquired new dates of origin, etc.
Anyway, what I mean is, if Events are all time based, then somebody like me who has thousands of photos with all sorts of dates of origin, mostly unrelated to the date that the photo was actually shot, is screwed. I have old photos with new dates of origin and other mismatches between photos and the dates when they were actually shot or scanned.
My gripe is, again, that when I find photos on my hard drives that belong in certain iPhoto Events that have already been created, I cannot just drag these photos from the Finder and drop them into the Events they belong in. Instead, the stupid program creates a new Event from each photo I try to drop into an existing Event. That means I have to chase these new photos all over the place inside of iPhoto, trying to figure out where each new photo (now called an "Event") has ended up, so that I can drag and merge it into the Event I wanted it to go into in the first place. A real pain in the neck. It simply takes too long to do this for each photo added.
What this means is that iPhoto is not going to be a practical way to organize for a person like me until Apple makes it possible to simply drop any photo from the Finder into an existing Event. There should be an option to allow that. I'm really surprised there is not one. <edited out by Hosts>
Tom

Tom, iPhoto will not overwrite photos with the same name. I have plenty of photos with the same name in the same event. Each photo most likely has an internal handler that manages the photo, and not just the name of the file.
I agree with you that this is sub-optimal, and (IMO) I think what happened is iPhoto 6 had rolls, and they came up with a really cool interface for mousing over those rolls, and decided it was more consumer friendly (and because film is a thing of the past) to call them events, rather than rolls. I think it was worth a shot, but they just slightly missed.
Right now in iPhoto08, any serious organization is done in folders and albums. Personally, I think they need to combine the two concepts -- the great "mouse over" view of events with the organization abilities of folders and albums. I'd like an albums view where I can mouse over the albums. Actually, Aperture 2's interface for organization is more functional than iPhoto, so I am hoping some of that benefit creeps into the next iPhoto release.
What I do is: I use events for high level grouping (like Winter 2007) and I organize folders and albums to break that down further ("trip to Montreal" "Christmas" etc.). But I do it backwards. I fill albums first, then I organize events.
When I drag in pictures to iPhoto, first I make the target album in iPhoto that I want to populate, then I drag the photo directly to that album (not to events). iPhoto automatically puts the photo into the album I created and also into a new event. Later, I go into events, right-click on this new event to "open event in separate window" then I move around the events view, to drop in the pictures from the "import" event I just created. If I move all the pictures into other events, iPhoto automatically deletes the event I just emptied. You could skip the event organization all together if you wanted to, but you'd lose the cool mouse-over feature, which can be handy.
One nice thing about having events AND albums is you can have the photo just once in iPhoto, in an event, but then have the photo appear in as many albums as you want (as well as projects and web galleries) all while only having one photo on your hard drive. So, there are benefits to events, but I think iPhoto is missing just a couple little bits of organizational ability to make it perfect. (and yes, I've submitted this all to Apple as feature requests)
Just in case you don't know -- events don't have any hierarchy. That is, you can't nest events. But you can have folders with subfolders, and any folder can contain albums. Albums cannot have sub-albums, and folders don't hold photos. Only albums hold photos, and folders (or sub-folders) hold albums. Try create some folders and albums and you'll get the hang of it. One other issue that Apple needs to address. When you create a new folder or album, it doesn't put it right where you want it, but rather puts it at the bottom of the list, so you have to drag it up to where you want it. Try it out, and you'll see what I mean, then submit it as a feature request to improve that.
I agree it's not perfect, but it's not too bad once you get used to it. And the benefits of working with the rest of the features of iPhoto is worth it. I'm just really hoping they do a few tweaks on the next release. They are near greatness here. They could just use a little nudge on the last bits. (in my opinion of course. Others may disagree, but I've talked to enough people who have the same issues you are having to know we are not alone on this).

Just bought Adobe Photoshop Ps , clicked on the icon in my Mac dock and am staring at a black page with a perimeter of symbols and a heading that reads "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. I don't have a clue what I do next. I would like to transfer some photos from my iPhoto library. Where do I start?

Photoshop does not transfer files nor import files. It can open files from any place that finder can access for files.
This is the normal process:
You need to log into https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/desktop.html Download Center
Select the app you would like to start with
The Creative Cloud manager will install first.
When done installing, the Creative cloud (adobe manager) should open in the middle of your screen.
If no apps automatically start installing then click on Apps
Scroll down to the app you want to install and click the install button
Once the manager says it is done, you can start your app like you normally do with any other app.

Some photos don't open in edit

Some of my photos won't open in edit. When I try to do this I get a grey screen with a question mark in the middle. Also, other photos will open but they are not enlarged in the edit window. Still others work in edit fine. There is no rhyme or reason to this. On a single roll that has been downloaded all at once, same format , everything's the same, some photos work in edit, others don't.

Steve
The question mark means that iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you changed, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder ?
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
Another possibility is the the database is corrupt, and you can check for this by rebuilding the database: restart iPhoto holding down the option and apple keys. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild the database. However, be aware if you have been active in the iPhoto Library Folder this will not solve that problem.

I am unable to download ios7. It says that I don't have enough storage available. On my phone it says that I have 6.2 GB used and 151 MGB available. Isn't the phone supposed to have 16 GB? I already deleted aps and some photos.

I am unable to upgrade to ios 7. It is telling me that I don't have enough storage to upgrade. I checked my usage and it says that have used 6.2 GB and that I have 151MB available. I thought that the phone is supposed to have 16GB? I have already deletes some pictures videos and apps... not much has changed. What should I do??
Also, I just got photostream and when I went to look throught the pictures on photostream, some have started distorting. The images seem to be zoomed in so much and I can't unzoom them. I worried that it will start ruining the photos on my laptop.

As Carolyn said, you'll need to have space on your device. If you want to see how space is being used up by what applications you can follow Carolyn's advice: Tap Settings > General > About
One option is to delete some old applications.
Another options is to temporarily remove your music.
Another option is to transfer some photos to your computer to make space. To do this, open iPhoto and click "import photos. Just be sure to check the option "Delete items from camera after downloading" or you won't actually delete anything and won't make any space!
