Trouble viewing pictures in viewer

I've updated to 9.5.1 for iPhoto last month. As of today, when clicking on the thumbnail to view the picture, it comes up for a second then the screen turns black. I try to zoom and the pic comes up the size of the thumbnail and is labelled "navigator".

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). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) 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?

  • Trouble viewing my Phantom 4K cine files in Premiere

    I am having trouble viewing my Phantom 4K cine files in Premiere. Playback is quite good, but the picture is abnormally dark. I have seen in other forums that I am not the only one to have this issue. Is there a fix?
    Thank you.

    Hi EatsMungotictus,
    We support the format, but for now you will have to apply a LUT (via Effects > Color Correction > Lumetri) to obtain correct image. We'll work on improving the picture moving forward.
    Sorry for any inconvenience.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router....any ideas?

    I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router, and used msconfig to bring up each service individually to see if there is an effect.Flash and iTunes have been re-installed  ...any ideas?

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

  • Trouble Viewing PDFs in Preview

    Hey all,
    I am having trouble viewing PDFs in Preview 4.0 on my MacBook Pro, running Leopard (10.5.1). I can Quick Look the documents from my desktop (or any other folder) fine. However, when I double-click the document to open it in Preview, i get nothing. Preview opens, but does not display the document, or anything for that matter. I even tried to open PDFs from the Preview menu, but to no avail.
    I just upgraded the internal hard drive, but everything else seems to be working fine, and this seems like a weird issue to be caused by a laptop upgrade.
    Any ideas? I tried Disk Utility, but still nothing.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Have you tried deleting Preview's pref file? It should be located as a ".plist" file under preferences in your library folder.
    Find the file "com.apple.Preview.plist" and move it to the trash for the time being. Run Preview again and see if that'll help. If this fixes it you can safely delete the .plist file that's in the trash.
    Good luck.

  • I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad.

    I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad. Mi am able to view the file in its entirety on my Mac but not on my ipad.  I have tried saving it to acrobat but that doesn't work either.  Any suggestions please.

    Hi,
    When you say the entire content, do you mean some parts of the pdf are not getting displayed or is it going out of the screen?
    Please send a pdf you are having issues with on chmaheshatadobedotcom, it will help us investigating the problem.

  • 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.

  • I'm having trouble viewing PDF forms in a browser

    When I go to a business site for a manual and the format is using pdf, after viewing I cannot go back to previous page using the back button or the arrow back. It keeps returning to the pdf manual I was viewing. I have to click the arrow twice  or three times to return to back page and sometimes when clicking to many times it return to the beginning page. This has been happening to almost all pdf forms used by businesses or any other websites. Is there something I have tochange in settings?

    Hi Snakedog777,
    How frustrating! What web browser are you using? Do you run into the same troubles when viewing PDF files on other browsers? And does the problem only exist with PDF forms--or are you having trouble viewing any PDF files?
    For starters, please see Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI for information about configuring your browser.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Hi. i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari

    i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Trouble viewing videos taken with iPhone 4s on Windows laptop

    I am having trouble viewing videos taken with my iPhone 4s on my Windows laptop.  Here are my versions:
    Windows 7
    IOS 6.1.3
    iTunes 11.0.3.0.42
    Quicktime 7.7.4
    The videos I am unable to play have been copied from my iPhone cache folder into another folder.  The first issue I noticed was the thumbnail for the videos are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise in both folders.  The videos were taken with the camera in the portrait position, as opposed to the camera being held sideways or the landscape position.
    I tried to play the videos using iTunes and an error saying " iTunes has stopped working.  Checking for a solution".  Then I get, "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  Sadly, no solution has been sent to me.
    If I try to use QuickTime, the videos "attempt" to play but the audio skips and locks or the video skips and locks.  Eventually, the video completely stops.  Also, there is a green bar on the left of the screen the runs from top to bottom.  This bar is not visible in any other views of the videos.
    If I try to use Windows Media Player, the videos play great, except they are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, like the thumbnails.
    All of the videos still play perfectly on my iPhone 4s.
    Thank you all in advance for your help.

    One week and 41 views later, no one has a fix for this?  Or is no one else encountering this issue??
    Come on Apple!  Step in on this one.

  • Trouble view Mac pdf

    I am having trouble viewing a pdf that has been created on a Mac.  The text is in the form and if I highlight the area, the text will appear.
    I am trying to view information in a pdf form that was created on a Windows based machine and then completed on a Mac.
    The Advanced  Document Properties show the
    DF Producer: Mac OS X 10.7.5 Quartz PDF Context
    PDF Version: 1.3(Acrobat 4.x)
    I am using Adobe Reader XI on Windows 7 and have the same problem on a Windows 8 machine using the current version of Adobe.
    I can open the document without an error message but the form appears blank.  When I left click on one of the form fields I can see the text in the field.  I can only see one field at a time and the from prints blank fields.  I thought the text might be a white font on a white back ground, but can not find an area for text formatting.

    The user filled out the form using Mac Preview which breaks the form. Here's more info: Correcting PDF Form Field Appearances after Saving with Preview on the Mac
