SX10 IS zoom photos are all white (severe over exposure?)

Hi, I've notice that when I take outdoor pictures, mostly in "Auto" mode, using a fair amount of zoom that the image take is mostly white. This consistently occurs and is not a one-time event. I'm assuming that the images are severely over exposed. The environment is typically mid-day sunlight. Taking a picture of the same composition at much lower magnification gives expected results. I've been through the manual looking for different things to adjust without success. I've reset all settings to their defaults and the problem persists. I've tried different modes with similar results. I've had this camera for a few years now and I haven't experienced this problem before. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

JakeInTexas,
When shooting outdoors in sunlight, the camera could be metering the exposure improperly because of the sunlight entering the lens at certain angles. A good way to counter this is by attaching the lens hood that came with the camera.
If this does not help, I would like to take a look at a sample image if you could upload one to this thread. It will greatly help us determine what else may be causing this.
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

Imported Photos Go All White! A Bug Or Is It Quartz/Core Issue?

Imported Photos Go All White! A Bug Or Is It Quartz/Core Issue? Tried jpg and png and .........

When I did that the white pictures were then visible on the desktop library. They said I had too much stuff on my computer. When I upgraded to I life 06 most of the pictures came back.

After I did a renaming batch all of my photos are a white block! please help

I did a batch rename in Bridge and all of my jpeg photos turned into a white block, photos are gone, PS nor bridge recognize file. What happened?
I also had a PSD file of each photo that still is showing the photo in Bridge, but will not open, it says it does not recognize file.
I choose the option to keep original name and extension.
I have tried renaming and changing file ext. but this does not help.
Any thoughts?

It seems you have more then one dot or multiple extensions in the filename.
But maybe a screenshot of your content window with filenames would clarify a bit more.
In general, you should only use one dot in a file name and that is the one at the end of the filename ( for a jpeg that would mean ".jpg").
Just select one file in the content window and with right mouse click choose duplicate. this provides a duplicate file with the addition of Copy after the filename and before the extension. Just select the complete field and type: test.jpg and then try again.

I am trying to import photos into PSE 12 from folders on my desktop, which are organized by broad topics--family, vacations, etc.. Many of my photos are located in several folders. When I try to import them to PSE I get a message saying some photos were

I am new to PSE 12 and am trying to import my photos from folders on my desktop which I have organized by the categories I had in my previous program (Creative Memories). Many of my photos are located in multiple folders, i.e. one photo could be in "Family," Vacations" and "Birthdays." When I try to import the contents of each folder on my desktop I am often getting the message that many of my photos were not imported as they are already in my catalog. Is there a way that I can import any one photo multiple times so that it ends up in all the folders I want it to be in? I know I can locate the photo in PSE and copy it to a different folder(s), but there are so many not being imported that this would be a huge task!

By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

My photos are all mixed up

Hi,
Since updating to IOS 7 all my photos are mixed up!! I link my Ipad directly to my PC, where I have thousands of photos - all sorted in specific albums. The albums appear to have copied accross but all the pictures are mixed up randomly and are not in the correct albums.
Any suggestions please?

Suggest you use Photo Manager Pro. You can create folder, drag photos around, lock folder, slide show etc.

Trouble with sync once photos are all organized into folders on iphoto. Help!

I have imported and organized all of my pictures of off my iphone into iphoto. I then went to sync like I always do, only requesting that 2 folders (approx 900 photos) be put back on my phone. When the sync finished, it said that itunes couldnt sync 250 of the photos I asked it to. That's 1 issue. It said that itunes would tell my why it couldn't, then it didn't!
Problem #2 is this...my 2 folders of 900 photos shows up on my phone in the folders, but then all 900 photos are also in photo library. How do I keep these from showing up twice? It's taking up all of my memory with every photo being saved to my phone twice.
I've tried to find tutorials & help with Iphone & haven't had much luck. I've imported, foldered, synced, and gone about my business plenty of times before. Now i'm running out of memory & my phone is telling me it can't completely sync.

Is there an Albums section in the left hand pane? If so move the cursor to the right of the Album name till Show appears and click on it?
If there is no left hand pane where the Event and Photos icons, albums, slideshows, etc. usually sit move the cursor over the left edge of the window until it turns into a a cross like this:
then click and drag to the right to open the pane.
If you can't get that to work 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 (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto, reset its various preferences and try again. The left hand pane will be visible.
NOTE 1: 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.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Just reinstalled Firefox and my header and icons (copy/paste/history etc.) are all white but my text remains blue? The header was kind of bluish before and icons contrasted.

I re-installed Firefox v. 9.??? The icons are white bordered in gry/blk and appear hollow. The header is all white and there is no contrast between the icons and the header, except for the outline of the icons. I have some bookmarks in the menu bar and they are fine, although the text is baby blue but again over the white background. Can I send you a picture (paint) of it?

Thanks, but the problem isn't the creation of a screenshot. It has to do with the coloring of the headers and icons. Submitting a screenshot, with my question/problem, as a means of better explaining the problem, may have further illustrated the problem I am having.

Recovered photos are all blank

I have tried to recover some of my photos within iPhoto, but all the recovered photos are blank empty pictures. There is nothing other than a blank canvas on all recovered photos. Are these images not recoverable, or do I need to do something else tocomplete recovery?

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1.

My album photos are all messed up!!

after i synchronized my ipod, all the album photos were all messed up!
This is my first time to encounter such thing. I tried to reset it (pressing MENU and the central botton at the same time for a few sec.) and also update my ipod, bt none of these could help.
What else can i do?Does anyone also have this problem?

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your iPod's artwork cache may have become corrupt. I would suggest clearing it out and rebuilding it. To do this:
1. Plug the iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on its device name on the left pane of iTunes if necessary
2. Under the Music tab, remove the check mark next to “include album artwork on this iPod.”
3. Hit Apply to sync the updated changes.
4. After it has finished syncing, place the check mark back next to “include album artwork on this iPod” option.
5. Again, hit Apply to sync the updated changes.
6. Lastly, properly eject your iPod, and verify that the album artwork is correct.
Hope this helps.

My Photos Are All Over The Place Can I Move Them?

Hi...
After numerous Exports and Imports... My images are all over the place on my Hard Drives. Is there a way I centralize them and have Lr4 move them into a central place so I don't need to hunt them down all the time?
Thanks in advance!!!

Yes you can do that within Lightroom. I recommend you look at Julianne Kosts Lightroom videos on AdobeTV regarding cataloging - they are free.

Iphoto 9.5.1 displays only raw photos correctly. If I correct redeye or touch up a photo I get white boxes over the eyes(if correcting redeye) or the thumbnail and photo turns mostly white. Note: I have an NVIDIA card.

Do you remember the days when Apple wrote robust code ? The latest updates have not been great.
Maybe the programers are outsourced to a foriegn country now or Noobs out of school ?
It looks like someone isn't paying attention to the editing layer... I write code. and when you edit an image you store the update in another layer. The method enables you to easily undo edits.   I "upgraded" to 10.9.1 and was forced to update iPhoto.    After I uploaded photos from my camera I noticed redeye reduction results in just white squares over the eyes. I also noticed issues if I attempt any photo edit funcition in iPhoto.
This means to me that iPhoto 's editor is saving video from the wrong memory location.
I have a NVIDIA card because I write CUDA applications on my Mac. An NVIDIA card enables me to write CUDA and OpenCL apps.
Here's what happens if I attempt to straighten an image:

After Edit:
Here's what happens if I attempt to use the Redeye reduction tool:
As you can see Mavericks may have made some improvements but overall it does not get the job done as it used to.
I am willing to bet that your graphics code has devolved into ATI centric code.
I booted into macos 7.5.1 and the issue with the same hardware older operating system and apps works fine.    I just wish I never deleted my 10.6.8 install. 10.6.8 was the most stable on the MacPro.   Everything worked.     From 10.7 up I've noticed a decline in dependability.
Can you please fix this or design a work around ?    Switching over to an ATI graphics card is NOT a good answer.
Also I noticed Cinebench R15 benchmarks are higher in 7.5.1 verses 10.9.1

Where in that other topic is the manufacturer of the graphic card or even a graphic card mentioned.? You may have known what kind of card you had but we're not mind readers.
Since it appears to be a incompatibility between that particular card, Mavericks and iPhoto you should keep telling Apple about it by contacting them via

How do I return my iPhone 4 back to the way it was after I accidentally backed it up with my old iPod's information, and now all my contacts, messages, and photos are all gone?

So I went to plug my iPhone into my computer, automatically pulling up iTunes/iTunes Store. I notice that the computer isn't recognizing my iPhone, so I look at my phone and see that it is asking me if I want to trust this computer so I click yes. Then on the computer on iTunes it asks me if I want to save it as a new device (which I should've done) or save it as a previous device (and showed the names of other devices) and I picked the save as previous device under my old iPod, thinking that it would just save it and not mess with anything (mind you, I have never backed this iPhone up before)... So I wait for it to finish saving, and when it is I realize my phone looks nothing the same as it was when it was my iPhone a few minutes ago (except all the apps I hade downloaded unto the actual iPhone) and now looked like my old iPod. It deleted all of my contacts (except ones synced from Facebook), photos (but had all the photos from my old iPod), and deleted every message I had had with someone. I know I made a mistake, and I honestly don't know if this is something that can even be fixed... But I need to at least try.! So if someone could help, I would appreciate you a lot!

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

My NoSquint zoom settings are all screwed up. They magnify and de-magnify when I switch tabs. How do I fix this?

NoSquint was working fine. Then, after an unexpected power outage, it stopped working fine after I powered my computer back up. Basically, the problem is this: I open a new tab, and the page loads to its desired magnification. I open another tab, and that page loads to its desired magnification. Then I switch back to the first tab, and the page is no longer at the desired magnification. Then I switch back to the second tab, and that page is no longer at the desired magnification. So I'm constantly re-setting the magnification, each time I switch tabs.
Before the outage I had noticed that this was a problem with Facebook pages (for whatever reason), but it never happened with other pages. Now it happens for all the pages I load.
Also since the power outage, I've noticed that pages are loading funny--text overlapping other text, images off register, etc.
Please help restore my once near-perfect browser to near perfection!
