Trying to edit picture: iPhoto not showing ANYTHING!

Hi guys,
have to admit I´m a bit pi**ed off. Spent around 6 hours yet on repairing the iPhoto 6 on my wife´s G4-Macbook (running 10.4.11).
As we had a couple of problems with iPhoto (dotted lines + questionmark, Mail-Export didn´t work etc…) I decided to reinstall the software. Well, first I forgot we once had updated the originally included iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 6 – so I installed the "5" first. Then I realized my fault, so I installed the "6" from the iLife 06 DVD.
Now my problem is, whenever I try to edit imported photos, they simply don´t show up in the main-screen. I have the thumbs on top, but the main window area is blank. I´m meaning this literally: BLANK! No dotted line, nor questionmarks or so.
So I´ve tried to rebuild the database (Apple+Alt start), then I installed the iPhoto-Updates 6.0.4 through 6.0.6, after that I reinstalled the 10.4.11-Combo-Update. Then I deleted iPhoto (was still not working), repaired the startup-volume, repaired rights, used Onyx for all possible mainenance-issues and re-installed a fresh iPhoto 6. Still same result: blank screen for editing pix.
Before I download Picasa: Is there a **** solution for this issue??
Thanks in advance (and it was me convincing my wife to buy a Mac: "There won´t be any probs…“ – haha)

Certainly restoring from the SuperDuper back up will work *if the damage occurred after the back up*. However, if the damage predates the damage, obviously it won’t help.
In relation to this:
We had probs with some links to originals (dotted line, questionmark) and exporting originals to Mail or onto the desktop – these issues could be related to the missing links, though – I don´t know).
That sounds like database corruption, and my first step would be to rebuild that DB using iPhoto Library Manager as detailed above. Of course, this os secondary to getting the basic editing feature working.
Regards

Another thought: Is that SuperDuper a bootable backup? Can you boot from the back up to test it?

  • Edits in iPhoto not showing up on file

    I've made some changes using  a few of the edit functions in iPhoto. The changes seem to appear when the photo is displayed in smaller views using the slider, but when I double click on the image, only the original shows up. Are the edits not saved? I've tried copying the image with the changes and then pasting it to an SD drive, but, again, it's only the original that's being copied. Another odd behavior is that even when the original is displayed on the screen, when I click "Edit" the changes I made previously suddenly appear...so they are saved somewhere.
    Do I have to manually save a new version or something?
    Help!

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (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.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • My iphone 4 screen has gone blank and its still on it vibrates when i put it on charge ive tried turning it off and the screen is still not showing anything please help

    my iphone 4 screen has gone blank and its still on it vibrates when i put it on charge ive tried turning it off and the screen is still not showing anything please help

    Hi Ellen,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone 4 has a dim or blank black screen but responds to some commands like enabling vibrate. I understand this may be a frustrating situation, but the troubleshooting suggestions in the article below will help you solve the issue.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If your screen is too dim, too bright, or you see only faint images
    Try to adjust the brightness. If the screen doesn’t respond when you adjust the brightness, open several apps to make sure it’s not an issue with only one app.
    If you have a screen protector, try removing it. Try removing your case if it includes a screen protector.
    If you see the issue in multiple apps, restart your device.
    If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Take care,
    -Jason

    When i press F5 to run project make Code of radiobutton not work(Disable,Enable OtherControl such as textbox)
    And when i try press CallReportButton CRviewer do not show anything.
    When I brought CRviewer leaving the page ,Code of Radiobutton were working fine.
    But can't to show "CrystalReport1.rpt" on CRviewer when i click CallReportButton. i'm not understand.
    Then i have tried to learn from follow this link : CR not working in visual studio 2013
    and Using Crystal Report in ASP.Net website, Report not showing in CrystalReportViewer
    i have to create a new CR ASP NET project and copy the whole C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client folder
    into my app folder and then add this to your web.config file, line in bold:  <add key="vs:EnableBrowserLink" value="false"/>
    project is working but not fine  when I try to click button to call report  I get this pop-up .   " popup.JPG"   what is it?
    And project warning!  could not find schema information every element . "Could not find every Element.JPG"
    After that, copy the whole C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client folder into my app folder Only!  not add in my web.config
    (In previous project need to use CR)  make to project were working  but i get same pop-up when i click to show report.
    **** buleline in popup.JPG picture  is "The report you requested requires further information"

    I think you're over-complicating things. I'd like you to have a look at a few sample apps, see how they work, then adjust your app. Samples are here:
    Crystal Reports for .NET SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
    Also, have a look  at Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Walkthro... | SCN (- applies to all versions of CR and .NET).

  • Sharepoint2013 - Organizational browser not showing anything

    Hi there.
    Sharepoint 2013 installed. Tried the Organizational Browser web part, but it does not shows anything neither in Silverlight view or in HTML view. What exactly should this "feature" show?
    It's the same in IE on WIN8 and WIN7 client (both with latest silverlight).

    Hi,
    Sharepoint 2013 uses claim authentication by default and adding the "clientaccesspolicy.xml" to iis root is
    not working for claim authentication.
    Keep the xml file and add this javascript code to the page  in content editor webpart:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function CreateHierarchyChartControl(parentId, profileId, type, persistControlId) {
    var i = profileId.indexOf("|");
    var claimsmode = profileId.substr(i-1,1);
    if((i >=0 ) & (claimsmode=="w"))
    profileId = profileId.substr(i+1,profileId.length-i-1);
    var initParam = profileId + ',' + type + ',' + persistControlId;
    var host = document.getElementById(parentId);
    host.setAttribute('width', '100%');
    host.setAttribute('height', '100%');
    Silverlight.createObject('/_layouts/ClientBin/hierarchychart.xap',
    host,

    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...

  • IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black

    IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

    It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

  • Some of my pictures do not show up in the organizer

    Some of my pictures do not show up in the organizer. The folders are all there but no thumbnails appear in the organizer. If I do a search for them they are shown but I cannot find them in the organizer.

    This is a small...."Bug" I guess you could call it, in the ipods software where if you have songs by one artist and none of them have a album listed with them, they do not show up under "Artist".
    I forgot the exact workaround, but I think its something like if you give one song by the artist a album name (By rightclicking it in iTUnes, hitting get info and selecting the info tab) all the rest of the songs will now appear under artist on the ipod

    My pictures are not showing up in the library as icons. They are still there, but I have to guess which one is which and when I click on one, I can see it.  This is only for the pics I have taken for the last few weeks.  My older pictures I can see as icons.  How can I fix this?

    Hi dlaporte73,
    Does removing and reinserting your battery help? Is this happening when your BlackBerry Torch smartphone is in portrait view or does it happen in landscape view also?

  • I have my iphone activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.

    I have my iphone4 activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.
    Now i have a problem in it, all icons just shake and system hangs, needs restarting.

    You need to go back to the person you bought it from. Sounds like they may have sold you phone that is not as described.
    Did you check the warranty status before purchasing it?

  • When filtering by keyword and using "Edit In" with Photoshop, edited file does not show up in list

    When I do an "edit in" using CS5 and save it, the edited file does not show up in my LR4 preview window.
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    There are two distinct modes by which Edit In... may first open an image into PS: as a fully pre-converted rendered file; or as an on-the-fly converted image in memory.
    (When LR opens a PS-edited image a second time into PS, using "Edit Original", the former option is always used.)
    In the latter case, it is ACR which does this on-the-fly conversion, working from the original image (as imported into LR) plus your subsequent LR adjustment metadata. This means ACR compatibility with LR becomes an issue - as it is not, with the pre-rendered file option.
    There is a useful clue to which mode is being used:
    the title of the PS document window, in the case of the on-the-fly conversion, still shows the name of the Raw file (or whatever) that you started with in LR... no file has been saved as yet, to say any different. You can Save or Save as, wherever and under whatever name, and from now on LR will look there for your edited image. Or if you close unsaved, LR has no edited image to show at all.
    the title of the PS document window in the pre-rendered case, is the name of a file already saved on disk and already showing in LR. If you then saved this elsewhere, you would merely make a duplicate which LR cannot know about - and if this duplicate is the one which contains your PS work, LR will accordingly not show that. It is busy showing the content of the specific file that was passed to PS.
    So, if inside CS5 your document is called something like IMG23334.dng - you can save it wherever you like. If inside CS5 your document is called something like IMG23334-edit.tif - you will have to save your changes back to that exact same file, in order for them to be seen in LR.
