Taking photo only see square

When I want to take a photo with my iPhone5 there is a square on the screen.  The photo itself is much larger than what I see when taking the picture.  This is not the way it looks on the images of how to use the camera.  2/3 of the screen is just black.  I can't figure out how to get the view on the screen to be the same as the photo that is taken.

I just read one of the other problems and the answer was to reboot - so I tried that and it worked!  Problem solved.  Still I don't know why this happened.  (There was a mistype above, what I saw on the screen was a square and the rest of the screen was black, it was not 2/3 black but about 1/3 black)  Now it is fixed and there is just one black bar on the bottom with the camera icon and the image I see when I click is the same as the final image.

    Hi,
    You have managed to post in Applications then iChat within that.
    iPhoto is listed under iLife
    I have not used iPhoto enough to be  able to offer solution for you.
    You would be better off posting in the iPhoto Forum (in that link above)

  • IPhoto books in iPhoto -  The new Photos program only has square photo books.  Will I be able to edit/order books with iPhoto after I upgrade to Photos?

    I have many photo books created in iPhoto.  These are rectangular shaped.  The new Photos program only has square shaped books.  After I upgrade to Photos, will I still be able to order books using iPhoto?  Or, will Photos allow me to edit books in their original rectangle shape, and order them?

    The new Photos.app will have the classic rectangular sizes as well.
    See the Preview.
    Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
    It only mentions the new square format, but the classic layouts are there as well, as the picture shows.
    But you may not be able to migrate the old book projects. Finish any current book project while still using iPhoto '11 and create new projects in Photos.

  • Taking photos with my iPhone5c color shifts from photo to square

    When taking photos with my iphone 5c ios7 I notice the color shifts from photo to square. The color changes are noticible. I have auto focus on, flash off, on both formats I click on the image to get exposure and focus and take the photo.

    Hi Rick,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the colors look different when you take pictures in "photo" and "square" mode, make sure that there are no filters being used:
    Apply a filter:  (iPhone 4s or later) Tap the filter icon to apply different color effects, such as black & white. To turn off a filter, tap , then tap None. You can also apply a filter later, when you edit the photo. See Edit photos and trim videos.
    If you are seeing unexpected results when taking pictures with your iPhone 5c, these troubleshooting steps can help:
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • HELP, please! My photos have disappeared from iPhoto library & I can only see them on the screensaver.

    Firstly, I should say we haven't updated/installed/deleted anything.  I just opened iPhoto yesterday and first it told me it couldn't open up without specifying a library, but then it seemed our library has just disappeared.  I then created a new library as, I have to admit, me & my DH are complete tecno dummies, but that didn't help much.  The only thing which we have done in the past couple of days is set up the screensaver to play our photos.  So now we can only see the photos on that - I'm presuming that means they haven't been completely lost (?) but am in a panic as we've got no back-up (three years worth of photos!).
    When I go on 'system preferences' (hope that's the correct translation, our computer's using Italian) and the screensaver, I can see 'picture folder' where all the photos are but I can't find that anywhere else on the computer.
    Also, I read other threads about similar probs & tried launching iPhoto pressing down 'option & control' but that didn't help me out either.
    We also spent half an hour on the phone to the Apple helpline here in Italy (yes, that's a charged call) to try and understand what's gone wrong and the advisor just kept telling us she didn't know how to help us out 'cause our Mac is an old model
    Apologies in advance for my complete ignorance about how to solve this problem but I'd be really grateful if someone out there could shed some light on what's happened. 

    when you say to go to my Pictures Folder, do you mean to go on Finder, then Pictures, then look at the iPhoto library?
    Yes. Is there more than one there?
    The material in your screensaver are cached images. They cannot be recovered and soon they will go way.
    If you have deleted your Library (and it sounds like you have done this, accidentally)  the you have deleted your Photos and you need to restore from your back up.
    Regards

  • I have lost all my events, now i can only see my photos in the photos section /ee

    I HAVE LOST MY ALL MY EVENTS, NOW I CAN ONLY SEE MY PHOTOS IN THE PHOTOS SECTION. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE ?

    Never heard of that before. Events and Photos are exactly the same thing, just presented in a different way.
    What version of iPhoto? Can you give us a full description of what you see in the Events section?
    Finally, please don't type in block capitals They are harder to read and it feels to the reader like you're shouting at everybody.

  • I can only see one photo at a time

    I use to be able to see a thumbnail of all my photos. Now for some reason I can only see one photo at at a time. I have to use the scroll bar to go up and down. It is so frustrating. Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    In the lower right corner of the iPhoto window is a slider. Move it to the left. Does that work?
    Regards.

  • I have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see picture from one of the albums.what should i do?

    i have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see pictures from one of the albums.what should i do?

    You can only import photos from the camera roll into the computer. Is that the album that you are seeing?
    Any albums that you create on the device itself (the iPad that is) cannot be transferred to your computer. iPad created albums do not contain copies of your photos but merely pointers to those photos so they do not actually exist in those albums.

  • Iphoto photoshop brousing -can only see photos in iphoto albums not in pict

    Why can I only see photos in albums and not in the general area of iphoto? In the finder it seems like there are no photos in the folders.
    This started with my new camera a Canon A610 my older photos are there in any type of search. What can I do to make the Canon pictures show up in library. I am worried that the pictures are not there on my back up harddrive.

  • Making a slide show and can only see the top 1/4 of the bottem line of photos in the project.  help?

    I am working with beat markers and it was going along fine until suddenly everything went awry.  I dropped in a bunch of photos and the last photo assigned itself a time of over 3 minutes.  Beat markers are at less than 1 second.  I have removed the beat markers for the photos I want to remove, in order to try again.  When I try to delete the 3 minute picture the entire project loses its beat markers AND on top of all of that, I can only see the top 1/4 of the pics in the bottom line of the project.  I've tried several work arounds and can't fix this.  Anyone have suggestions?

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>

  • Photo Stream is only seeing Scan #.jpg, not the Photo Title

    Can anyone tell me how to correct an issue I'm having between our iMac/iPhoto and Photo Stream... I scanned in about 500 photos of the family history and nammed each file with a descriptive text.  However, when I import the photos to the Photo Stream, I only see "Scan 893.jpg" even though iPhoto clearly shows "Bill's Birthday".  I've loaded and re-loaded, still only get a Scan Number in Photo Stream.  In iPhoto I don't even notice a scan # unless I hover the curser over the Info box where "Bill's Birthday" is clearly displayed, an after a few seconds the "Scan 893.jpg" shows up.
    When I started this little project to share with the family, I actually notice the scan numbers coming in only, I had been putting details in the Description sections.  I played around with the File Name/Title and got it to come through the Photo Stream and Apple TV, so I thought I had it resolved... but now none of my family can see the descriptions.  When I look at my own copy of the Photo Stream through iPhoto, I only see Scan Numbers also.
    Thanks!

    Photo Stream only uses the file name, not the title. The title only exist in iPhoto.  To get the title to be used in Photo Stream once must export the file out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu with the option File Name - User Title option.  Then import the new photos and add them to the Photo Stream.

    Hello User909807,
    After having some close calls with fraudulent purchases on my own bank account, I know how scary it can be to know someone else other than you had your personal information, so it was nice to know my issuing bank was helping keep my identity safe. Having said that, it’s completely understandable why it’d be frustrating to discover you were unable to continue making purchases after confirming your identity via text, and I apologize if this caused any unintentional frustration.
    While I’ll be sure to document your feedback regarding our partnership with Citibank, N.A., please know that they are the issuer of your My Best Buy credit card account. As such, I will be glad to share your concerns with our Citibank contacts so that they may contact you to discuss your account in further detail. Please know you should receive follow-up contact from them within the next 3-5 business days.  
    Respectfully,

  • Don't see the green rectangle when taking photo, 2. How can I set up viber on my iPad

    1.When taking photo with this iPad, I don't see the green rectangle. My friend told me that in order to take a clear picture, you need to see the green rectangle. When I take a picture of myself, then I see it. Why is that?
    2. How can you set up Viber? Does Viber can make long distance call back to US when I am out of the country? For example: if I am in Hong Kong, I want to make a call back home to a US phone #, is there any charge. What about SMS? The people I call or SMS have to be on Viber also?
    How can I see your response? Are you going to email me? My email address is [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Christine

    Have you checked Skype's website regarding the ability to do this with their iPad app?

  • I have been taking photos for years and have thousands.  When I use Apple TV screen saver, it seems only to grab a handfull and repeats them.  Is there a configuration setting that will allow me to have the screen saver grab more than just a few?  Thanks.

    The device has an 8GB drive for caching streamed meida, a small portion of that is used to temporarily store photos for the screensaver. It may vary depending on resolution etc but it seems to be around 100.
