Trouble viewing changes in photos

I took some close-up shots/portraits. In made changes using IPhoto/8 (mainly using retouch tool and and reducing noise. When I view these photos in a small format the edits do not seem to be there. When I view them full screen, they are. I uploaded them to shutterfly and they do not look like the edited versions. What do you think?

By small format are you referring to the thumbnail view up to a certain point where the full sized file is used to view? Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. Make a temporary backup copy of the library first.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Trouble viewing photos in iPhoto

Hi,
I recently bought a new MacBook Pro, and although I'm using iLife '09, I have had a similar problem using an older version of iPhoto on my old MacBook Pro.
I have copied all my photos from my external hard drive to my new laptop. However, when I open iPhoto, although all my albums show up as expected, most of them are empty and don't display any of the photos, even though the photos are saved under the iPhoto directory. I have no problems viewing these photos on Finder. I keep trying to import them again, but still cannot see them on iPhoto. I am only able to view some of my most recent albums, and a few random older ones.
I am completely lost. Does anybody have any advice or suggestions?
Thanks!

1 - iPhoto is not a photo viewer but a photo management system
2 - you never make any changes to the iPhoto library including copying photo to it - it does not work and may corrupt the library
3 - you can not import photos to iPhoto from the iPhoto library - you import photos form your camera or form disk files that are not in the iPhoto library
Have you watched the iPhoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - and practiced with a small library? iPhoto is a very powerful photo management system but it does has a learning curve

Viewing movies and photos on your TV using Ipod

I am having trouble viewing my photos and movies through my AV cable to my TV, I get sound but no picture. I have changed the TV output settings but no luck still getting a picture. any suggestions on how to get it working?
http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2041/876/store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/ibookavcable125.jpg

Well the cable I have is not the apple branded one, but it is the same cable, its a male head phone jack with the rca cables on the other end. There should be no difference. I never owned an ipod photo, do you know how did users hook up there photo pods to a TV, it should be the same way you think?

I have no trouble viewing apps in the iTunes Store on my iPad. However, every time I try to install a new app, I get an error message after a while - cannot connect to iTunes Store. This issues cropped up two days ago on my new iPad. Please help...

When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose " button is gone. What have I done wrong?

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

Trouble Viewing iWeb site on dot Mac account

I have a home office and I also have a studio. When I am at home working, I have no trouble viewing photo pages on my dot mac account from either Safari or Firefox.
When I am at my studio, however, I cannot browse my photo pages on Safari nor with Firefox.
Safari gives me the "server stopped responding" error and Firefox displays "the server timed out".
So, what's up with this?
At the home office, I use wireless DSL access with a MacBook. At my studio, I'm using an iMac wirelessly on my network. The the service provided is through Comcast broadband cable modem.
On both machines, I have iLife & iWork 08. I do not sync my dot mac account with the 2 machines. The original files for the photo pages reside on my studio iMac.
So why can I browse my way through my photo pages when I'm surfing the web from my home office, but am unable to see them when I'm working at my studio?
Thanks for assisting me if you can.

I will when I go back to my studio. I'm just trying to understand where you are going with this. I have contractors who work in and out of my studio with their laptops. They use XP & Vista and they have absolutely NO problem what so ever accessing my photo pages. In fact, when I couldn't access from my iMac, I had one of them check to see if the site was down. They could see my pages just fine with no problem. So...if they can reach them using the same network while sitting at the desk next to mine...why can't my iMac reach the pages?
Thanks.

How do I permanently save changes to photos?

The IOS 7 photo edit allows me to revert to the original photos after edits, which would be ok, if it didn't use the original when interfacing with other apps or when sending. For example, I cropped a lot of photos and then accessed the photos with my contacts app. The original unedited or uncropped photo showsl, not the edited or cropped photo. I searched for hours trying to find any comments on this topic. Nothing! Maybe everyone is excited about the new photo organization and forgot the basics. What good are editing features if the changes are not saved or accessible to other apps or when trying to send out the edited version?
I could find any way on Apple site or any on Google that tells me how to disable this feature or how to make changes to my photos permanent. Basically, what this means to me is the editing features are only useful if viewing from the photo app and not any other app or when trying to use the edited version.

The interface to share photos between your apps is the camera Roll. So to make your iPhoto edits visible to other apps on your iPad, share your edited version to the Camera Roll, when you are done with editing. If you have iPhoto on your iPad, you can save to the Camera Roll like this:
From: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.1/#blnkee26bc1f
Save photos to the Camera Roll on your device
Tap one or more photos and tap
Tap Camera Roll.
Confirm or change the photos you want to share:
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Tap Camera Roll.
To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.

Bug - View changes to grid when expanding a collection in the left pane.

Tried submitting this via the bug report form but got java errors. Sigh...
This seemed like the best alternative.
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
View changes to grid when expanding a collection in the left pane.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Goto Library Module
2. Ensure there is a collection with at least one child - if not create one.
3. Make sure the collection is collapsed (you cant see the child and you see a right pointing triangle to the left of the collection name)
4. Change to Loupe view
5. Click the right pointing triangle next to the parent collection you just created to expand it.
Actual Results:
View changes to grid
Expected results:
View should remain unchanged - in this case Loupe view.

The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto.
THat is exceeding strange since iPhoto '08 could not open or share an Aperture library - that ability was first introduced in iPhoto '11 - with the latest version of iPhoto and or Aperture you can open the same library with either application - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
In the current version of iPhoto the photos are sorted by date in the film strip - I've not recently done a calendar so do not remember the specifics -

Change a photo to a JPEG file

i need to take a photo and attach it to get a railcard but the file needs to be in JPEG format . can I change a photo taken on my ipad into this format?

Something tells me you may not be actually saving the file as a JPEG if Windows Photo Viewer won't open it.
What makes me say this is that Windows hides file extensions by default, and because of the confusion that sometimes causes you may think you're saving a file as one format while you're actually saving it as another.
Please screen grab and show the dialog right before you hit the [Save] button.

Trouble Viewing 3D PDF with Windows XP after installing Adobe Reader X

Hi,
I have updated my Adobe Reader X last week ( April 2012 ) and since then I am having trouble viewing 3D PDF on my web browser, both IE 8 and Firefox. I am using Windows XP.
The warning message I got are shown as follow:
"Some features have been disabled to avoid potential security risks. Only enable these features if you trust this host: (and the hosting website of the 3D PDF goes here)"
Adobe Reader X will allow me to view the 3D model when I select "Trust this host one time only", but it does nothing if I choose to "Trust this host always".
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Peter H.

Hi Ankit,
Here is an example: http://www.catalogds.com/db/service?domain=newport&command=showProduct&category=root&produ ct=sl51bm
Just click on the "View 3D Model" button and it will bring up another window/tab with a 3D PDF.
I will try changing the setting in the Trust Manager panel when my Windows XP computer is available later today.
Thank you.

People Photo Stacks not showing photo and how to change that photo

I had a very large database of images that I ocnverted from PSE 10. All is well, except for this rather glaring annoyance. When the People is clicked to show the people photo stacks, many of the stacks only have a standard icon instead of the others that have a photo.
First, how to get photos instead of icons?
Second - How to change the photo shown?
Thanks!

If you are using face recognition you can reveal the people tags using the View menu. They are hidden by default.
People tags are new in PSE11. In previous versions they were simply keywords.
If you enable people tags in the Media browser you will get a combined list of imported people keywords and people tags. Although in the People browser you will only get thumbnail stacks for the new people tags. Thumbnails for people keywords will display as blank. To run people recognition click the Add people icon in the task bar at the bottom.
To chose a thumbnail for the top of each stack double click to ipen the stack, Select one of the faces and right click. Then choose Assign as Profile Picture.

Split view changed

I am creating a photo book, and I was using split view to place my photos into the photo book. Originally, the photos I was placing into the book were on the bottom so I could scroll across and place pictures in photo book where I wanted them (photo book was above).
Then something changed with the split view, now the photos are on the left hand side and I scroll down to place photos into the photo book on right side of screen.
This view is extremely fustrating and I can not figure out how to get split view back to the original format. The other issue is that with this "newly" formated split view I can not use the pictures more than once, with the "old" split view I could use a individual photo more than once to use for background etc...
If someone knows how to change the split view format please, help. I do not understand how this changed and I can not get it back.
Thanks!
Happy Aperture User!

Aperture is large, complex, and powerful. Before using it to store or manipulate any valuable data files, you should read and understand at least the first seven chapters of the User Manual. The UI and the general workflow are laid out pretty well. Spend some time with it, and ask here for clarification of things that don't make sense to you.
(Added:)
The chapter on using the Book Album to create Books is here.

PSE9 and Folder View changes

I recently upgraded from PSE7 and it appears that in this version you can see only the folder you click on and sometimes not even that.
Is there anyway to see all the selected photos grouped by folder as I could do in all earlier versions?
Even worse, I had a small database with all photos in a single folder. When I switch to folder view (with all images showing in thumbnail view) then all photos disappear!!! Even though the icon in the finder view indicates that there are photos in the folder.
My databases have had thumbnails refreshed, no images need to be reconnected, and have been optimized and repaired.
In case it matters: Windows 7 64 bit with all updates applies to PSE9.

The 30 day free trial is an excellent idea. The problem for upgrading users is the difficulty of keeping things viable for the older version while actively using the new one.
Elements data is extraordinarily difficult to fix when anything gets messed up in the connection area. Trying to reconnect photos once PSE (every version) loses its links is unbelievable. The program is extremely stupid. I had an entire database that somehow had the "C" replaced by "F". The remaining parts of the file names were unchanged. It took me the better part of two days to fix. Any decent programmer (I am a semi-retired programmer with about 45 years experience) would have the sense to first assume that the device was wrong since that happens so easily.
I figure my problem was caused by my repair of a crashed disk where I had to restore from backups. The "F" disk was the source of the backup and data was put on C: yet somehow all links were lost.
Don't ever try to use DVD's as anything more than a backup either. Newer versions cannot always read the DVD's so recovery that is even worse.
I am far off thread, but all relates to using a free trial. I would expect links to be messed up in the process.
Also, the old folder view made fixes much easier - I dread trying to change locations with this buggy folder view.
Ah well, thanks for the comments.

In IPhoto '08, Photos under Library, I'm no longer able to view a screen of thumbnails. I'm only able to view a single photo at one time. This was not true in the past.

In IPhoto '08, in Library/Photos, I'm no longer able to view a screen of thumbnails. I'm only able to view a single photo at one time. This was not true in the past.

Note the slider lower right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

Did your designer was on the good context ?
Look the list box at the top right of the Designer interface.
You must have the same as the one where you define your journalization.
