Thumbnail - Yes: Main picture - No.What's happened?

I imported a JPEG picture from an AppleMail attachment. Drag and Drop. This has always worked successfully in the past. This one picture appears as a thumbnail, I double click to edit, the picture briefly flashes at full size then the screen goes black. This doesn't happen with any other pictures. The information book still contains all the details of the picture even with a black screen. Can anyone help please?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Contents of events folder suddenly displaying single pictures only, not a thumbnail of all photos, what has happened?

    Suddenly the contents of the events folders in iphoto is displayed with single pictures only, and not thumbnails. I wasn't aware I had changed any settings, but having looked at all the settings I cannot figure out how to change the display back. Anyone know what has happened?

    Does the zoom slider down left of the iPhoto Window help?

  • What happens if I make a picture album on my ipad or iPhone and then sync with my Mac? Will it add a new album to iPhoto on my Mac? Also, what will happen if I add pictures on my ipad to existing albums that I made in iPhoto on my Mac?

    So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks.  I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
    On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
    Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

  • I want to get a Nikon D3100, but my macbook has OS 10.5.5 on it and I've read that the D3100 needs at least 10.6.5. What will happen if I try to use this camera with my computer? Will iPhoto simply not recognize it or will I get distorted pictures, or..?

    Nikon say that you need 10.6.5+ for the latest firmware, although I don't see why.
    Thanks for that! I was looking for that manual, but for some reason, couldn't find it.
    I guess I'll have to contact Nikon and find out what the real story is. The camera was introduced in '08 or '09, so I'm wondering why you'd need software as recent as 10.6.5??
    Still very confusing.  :-?
    Why does it state that the camera is compatible with "10.4.11, 10.5.8..."? Does that mean that anything between 4.11 and 5.8 is incompatible???
    BTW, I tried downloading the 10.5.8 combo update recently and got an error message that the update was "corrupted" after it was all downloaded, so I was not able to install that.

  • Main picture doesnt change, just thumbnail?

    hi.
    i've got the trial version of lightroom 1.2, fantastic software... when it works! im having a problem in that, when I first open an image in LR I can go about editing it fully and I can see the visible changes in terms of exposure, fill light, brightness, contrast etc... but when I zoom in to see smaller things like sharpness and noise reduction and then zoom out again and try and change things they don't show up!
    I can see the changes occurring on the small thumbnail at the bottom and top left just not in the main picture? have I accidentally changed any settings, because its very weird!
    also, sometimes the thumbnail in the top left isnt there, and clicking the dropdown for navigation doesnt bring it back?
    TIA-
    -isaac-

    bump?
    i really need help here...

  • I'm getting an error message that says iphoto is damaged - delete and reinstall from app store.  If I delete iphoto, what will happen to my pictures?

    I'm getting an error message when I try to open iPhoto - it says, "iPhoto is damaged and cannot be opened. Delete iPhoto and download it again from the App Store." If I delete and reintall, what will happen to my pictures?  I cannot open my pictures from the Finder either to save them/back them up.

    Hello jwhhunt,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Your iPhoto Library is stored separately from your iPhoto application, therefore reinstalling iPhoto as the error message describes, will not affect your iPhoto Library.

  • What will happen to my pictures if I delete my I cloud account? Will they still be on my phone?

    What will happen to my pictures if I delete my iCloud account on my phone? Will they still be under the camera on my phone? I can't remember my user name or password :(

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you delete your iCloud account, you will also turn off photo stream and lose any photos that you had in photo stream, which may include photos from another device. However you will not lose any photos in your camera roll.
    If all you have done is forgotten your password why not use the Apple site iForgot.com

  • What's happening with BT Broadband Talk??

    When I joined BT some years ago I was advised to use BT Broadband Talk, as this was a VOIP service the calls made via BT Broadband Talk were cheaper than made via a landline (at least that was what they told me when they sold this to me).
    Recently I found out that the call rates for Broadband Talk calls and landline calls are the same, but also that some of my calling plan features do NOT apply to Broadband Talk calls!!
    As I have been using only my Broadband Talk number to make calls, I was just paying for calling plans while they were not being applied on my calls. I don't know when BT all changed this, but it looks to me like they are phasing out the whole BT Broadband Talk service!
    Can anyone let me know what is happening with Broadband Talk???
    (I guess I better use skype anyway...)

    That's indeed what I thought but when I was chatting with a BT support person, this was what she told me (copied from the chat log):
    "Quatta: Can you send me the international calling rates to Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and Germany when calling from the main line vs when calling from the broadband talk line?
       Junaid  : the prices are same if you call from land line or bt talk broadband i will tell you the charges bare with me
    Quatta: Okay thanks - yes please send me the rates
       Junaid  : Netherland-2.50, Spain-2.50, Belgium-2.50 and Germany-2.50 all the amount is 2.50 pence."
    After this i search the bt site to see whether BT BB-Talk had cheaper internatonal rates listed (as i did not trust this chat-reply) but no where on the site you find seperate BT BB-Talk rates for international calls. This chat happened on dec-7, 2011 - that's why i started thinking that BT is making this voip service less attractive so that their existing customers drop out on it and they can terminate it (as they already stopped taking on / promoting BB-talk to new clients). So don't think the cheap calls advantage is there anymore. cheers Rob

  • Can I simply move my main pictures folder to External Hard Drive?

    My pictures folder contains all my catalogues and all my photos that are stored in Lightroom 3. I am running out of internal storage space, so I need to get an external hard drive.
    Is it possible for me to simply move my Main Pictures folder, which contains all the photos and catalogues to the external hard drive, and still be able to use those photos in Lightroom just like before?

    What he means is inside LR, you'll have to rebind the location of the images.
    After you move your image folders (and one assumes, the images) to your external drive, the next time you start up LR you will have a bunch of '?'s marking the images and folders.  Do not panic!
      LR runs a database about your images, including the locations.  If you move your images in the OS, it won't tell LR that you've moved them.  So when you start up LR again, you have to tell it.
    In the left menu in LR, you should see your drives and folders.  Right-click on the top most/left most folder, and select "find missing folder" and browse to your new location.  If you kept the same folder structure (i.e., you just dragged your top folder onto your new hard drive) then LR will reconnect all the folders "below" it in one swoop.
    If you reorganized as well, then you'll have to reconnect them the hard way.  Next time, do folder reorganizations within LR, and that won't happen.
    I move folders in the OS instead of LR, it's faster.  But I keep the same format, so I only have to reconnect the top level folder!
    Cheers!

  • What is happening to my image gallery?

    I have created the layout for my site and I have an image gallery on the right hand side.  By default the upper left thumbnail opens as the main picture.  If you click on that thumbnail, it swaps the image, yet the thumbnail disappears and a question mark appears.   This only happens on that thumbnail and it happens on every page.
    This is my site in development stage.

    Thanks,

    You have the rollover wrong on that first thumb.
    Here is its code:
    a href="#">
    <img id="thumb_01" width="80" height="60" onmousedown="MM_swapImage(''thumb_01','','large_image','photo_large','','_images/home1_lg.png',1)" name="thumb_01" alt="home_1sm" src="large_image"/>
    </a>
    and here it is from another thumb:
    <a href="#">
    <img width="80" height="60" onmousedown="MM_swapImage('photo_large','','_images/home3_lg.png',1)" alt="thumb_3" src="_images/home_3sm.jpg"/>
    </a>
    Your first thumb is being told to swap ITSELF out with another image, followed by another partial copy of the arguments - it's simply malformed so remove the behavior on the first thumb completely and do it again.
    That said, your gallery would be better set up with the onmousedown behavior (onclick is better actually) on the <a> tag around the <img> rather than on the image tag itself.
    Hope that helps.

  • G5 dual 2ghz.  Been unplugged for a while. Powers up but no video or power to usb keyboard.  Boots up fine in safe mode, restart into normal mode ok. After shutdown, back to same issue.  What's happening?

    G5 dual 2ghz.  Been unplugged for a while. Powers up but no video or power to usb keyboard.  Boots up fine in safe mode, restart into normal mode ok. After shutdown, back to same issue.  What's happening?

    I keep seeing people ask and the advice to replace if it has been unplugged, but really have nothing to confirm that from my experiences.
    My experience is that a weak or dead battery can cause much more than date and time issues.
    I have seen it time and time again.
    Deal with used machines and you will quickly learn....
    I'll give no "recipe" or set list of symptoms, but the range of irregularities that can occur make it a quick and easy first line of troubleshooting, especially when the machine has been off the mains for a few months.
    Why fight mysterious maladies and troubleshoot with the knowledge that the PRAM battery is beyond it's useful life.
    Maybe they recharge?
    Not likely. They are chemically nasty, disposable, one way discharge batteries.
    They aren't Lithium-ion batteries
