Source window in iphoto window

the source window on the left side of my Iphoto window on G4 Power Mac has disappeared --- how do I get it back?
Mac G4 and IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi fredz,
Sometimes people can't get that source window open, even when they try to move the dot to the right.
First try to drag the button to show the column as show here
If that doesn't work, then you need to delete the Preference file. That info (size of the source window) is kept in the iPhoto Preference file.
Quit iPhoto
Open your User folder, then open the Library in your user folder, then open the Preferences in the Library folder.
In the Preference folder is a file called com.apple.iPhoto.plist
For now, drag that file to the desktop. Launch iPhoto and see if the source window is there or if you can open the source window. If you can, that means that Preference file you dragged to the desktop was corrupt. Put it in the trash.
IPhoto made a new one when it was launched. Open iPhoto Preferences and set your preferences again and you are good to go.

Conversion from Windows to iPhoto

Before I import my photos from my old to my new iMAC, I will be waiting for Leopard before getting my new iMAC, I want to find out the best way to organize my photos on the pc so the import to iPhoto is optimal.
I currently have 487 folders and 11,882 photos on my pc. I organized my photos in the Vista Photo Folder using a file scheme. The top level are major categories such as Current House, Travel, My old House, My Parents etc. Under each major category, the folder all use the same naming protocol, each folder is YYYY.MM.DD "Event Name" Each photo also has the same YYYY.MM.DD is the JPEG file information.
What is the optimal file organization for import to iPhoto???????

NorCalBolt
There's nothing wrong with the system you have now - apart from some redundancy.
When the time comes, move the folder structure to the Mac.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Then start at the bottom of your hierarchy and drag the folders of images to the Source (or left-hand) pane of iPhoto. There iPhoto will create an album (and Event) the same name as the folder of images.
You then create the Enclosing Folders in iPhoto (File -> New Folder).
This way you can quickly recreate your file structure in the iPhoto Window.
Some Caveats:
1. Organising by date is redundant in the iPhoto Window. Why? Because you can select a year, month or day using the Calendar tool to see the pics taken on that day.
2. You can only do the organisation described above using ALBUMS and FOLDERS, not Event. Events are a very simple and limited time based system.
For my money, and your mileage may vary considerably, I would import the pics by Theme - 'Current House' and keyword them, then use Smart Albums to structure. This way the pic of your Parents at your Current House will be in both albums... (and with no wasted disk space)

Can I have an external video source run in a window instead of using the full display?

I'm aware that the 27" iMac models are capable of accepting external video sources, but I'm wondering if it's possible to have an external video source run in a window on the desktop, rather then use the full display. Does anyone know if there's any software I can download to allow this, or will I have to purchase a special capture device?

hat I DON'T WANT TO OPEN the window application FROM the Labview VI BUT IN the Labview VI. I think it's possible to do that and to do communicate the OpenGL application with the Labview Interface using an ActiveX but I don't know how. Can someone help me ?The desired behavior you desribed may not be possible with that application. In general LabVIEW does not offer a window object that other standalone applications can run it. The closest thing is the ActiveX container. If the programmers for your application created an activeX control of your program and they provided documentation, it should be pretty easy to incorperate the app and labview into one window. I recommend contacting the manufacuturer of the app to see if they have an activeX control version of the app.

How to open multiple C source files in one window in Xcode

I could not find the way for opening multiple source code in one window in Xcode.
Is it possible?

Yes that was my question, thank you very much...
you mean like in tabs or somethign? I don't quite
understand your question. If everything is in one
project, you can switch your file viewer to editor
mode by clicking on Editor in the top left and then
navigate through your files with the left tree.

IPhoto Window moves from external monitor to MacBook Pro

When working with iPhoto 9.5.1 on my external Apple Cinema display, the iPhoto window periodically jumps from the external display to my MacBook Pro display. This usually occurs when I work in a second application for a short while and when returning to iPhoto, as soon as I select something in the iPhoto window, it jumps to the other display. The OS is 10.9.5.

Sounds like the standard VGA connector used in computers for ages. Connector looks anything like this?

If yes, will need that adapter and a male to male standard VGA cable.

What should I do about an icon, "Rebuilt Library" that appeared when I "grabbed" the top of my iPhoto window?

The icon appeared when I "grabbed" the top of my iPhoto window to move it across the desktop. I don't want to delete important files, and wonder what I should do about the icon.
I am using Time Machine.

Thanks LarryHN,
I have iPhoto version 9.4.3, and the "Rebuilt Library" icon is on the desktop.
Interestingly, when I closed iPhoto in order to perform the option startup, I got the spinning beachball and had to force quit—when I reopened, using the option key, a window did ask which library to use—I chose the rebuilt library.
I moved the "Rebuilt Library" icon to the iPhoto Library folder.
Thanks again!

Why do I have 2 iPhoto windows open?

Why do I have 2 iPhoto windows open? When I click on the dock iPhoto app it gives me 2 iPhoto window options. Do I officially have double iPhotos or have I some how duplicated it? How can I get back to one as Im already struggling with lack of memory space!

That screenshot is only showing you one iPhoto window - the one with the checkmark. The upper part are the recently opened libraries. You can check this by selecting "Show all windows":
iPhoto can have more than one window open, if you launched a dialogue, for example, if you are switching between libraries, you might see this:
Then the main application window is open, plus the dialog window:

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

IPhoto Window No Longer Maximizes

iPhoto 11 no longer has the ability to maximize it's window to fill all available space except for the dock.
Every time I load iPhoto 11 I have to drag the iPhoto window to the left and up along with widening the window from the lower right corner in order to fill the available screen space except for the dock.
Have other iPhoto 11 users noticed this problem?

I installed iPhoto 11 and Office 2011 as well, and clicking the green button fills all the available space.
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Oversaturated colors in Source and Program Monitor windows

After I updated to Premiere CC 7.1.0 the colors is much more saturated in the Source and Program Monitor windows and also in the Bin thumbnails.
Colors is fine when viewing the video under Export Setting, in the Title window, in the thumbnails on the timeline and also when I open a ProRes export in Quicktime:
I'm on a Macbook Pro bought in January 2013.
I've tried switching the renderer between CUDA, OpenGL and Software Only - no change. I've also tried unchecking "Composite in Linear Color" under Sequence Settings with no luck.
How can I change this?
Best regards,
Kasper

I've been editing in Premiere since 5.1 and this has never been an issue before. So what you're telling me is I can no longer rely on colors when editing on my Macbook without having to plug in an external monitor?
I'm not buying that - it must be possible to view the same colors in both the Source/Program monitor and in the timeline/Title window like always.
What could the problem be associated to?

Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.

I cannot open a new window for FireFox.

The Downloads Window cannot be accessed either.
This is very annoying. Is this a bug? Or is there a fix.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Hidden iPhoto window?

I left my sister using iPhoto and she called me back telling me the iPhoto window had disappeared. I tried clicking 'show all' in the iPhoto menu but the window is still 'hidden.' However, if I use Expose to show all open windows, I can see the iPhoto window - however, when I click on it, it darts away under the dock and becomes hidden again.
I had been trying to restore my library and now I am unable to even quit iPhoto because I need to click restore/cancel on the window.
Please help.

renew the iPhoto preference file -
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

IPhoto windows goes black (photo disappears) when editing

I recently upgraded to iPhoto 11 and was editing a photo when it disappeared. Basically, the entire iPhoto window went black and I was unable to make an edits.
When I went back to the Events page the picture was there looking normal. But I am unable to edit the photo because any time I go to make a change, the picture disappears.
I restarted iPhoto and rebuilt the database, the thumbnails... every option available when restarting holding the Option + Command keys. Still no joy.
Anybody have any clue what's going on?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. *Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. *Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*If none of these help*:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key 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?
