Up loading photos are half black

When up loading photos into iPhoto pictures are half black or 2 photos are combined together.

Please give details
Version of iPhoto? Of the OS? What is the source of these photos? Has this ever worked? If so what has changed since it did?

  • When I switch to the mode where the photos are on black

    I can see the thumbnails at the top and the informational graphics at the bottom but no pictures show up
    not even the big exclamation point indicating the file can't be found
    any thoughts?

    Try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Screen saver  : loading photos too long with aperture 3.3.2

    Hi,
    I've upgraded to mountain lion today and I've discovered an issue.
    Screen saver does not display my aperture library (though I can select the aperture library and see clearly the photos inside)
    It says 'loading photos' with a black screen and nothing more happen.
    When I select a folder with small amount of photos (less than 10 for exemple), it finally works.
    But I like to have my whole library targeted for screen saver.
    I add that it was perfectly working before the upgrade, and Aperture was already in 3.3.2 before mountain lion upgrade.
    Lion screen saver was working perfectly with my all aperture library and now it's a disaster.
    Moreover, the new slideshows added in the screensaver are worse than the one with Lion. I particularly appreciated the "Polaroid" pictures with the date below.
    Now I cannot have it anymore..
    So I have two questions ;
    1) Is there a way to speed up the loading of photos for the slideshows of screen saver ? A cache file ?
    2) Can I get back the previous screen saver of Lion ("polaroid" pictures with date below) 
    thanks a lot for your help
    I'm a newbie in Mac

    Hi Earnie,
    Yes indeed I do have different versions for some of them but each version bears a different Version Name. Though I guess the Master Name being unique, it might be causing the trouble... That should not matter anyway and hopefully will be solved in a next update.
    Thanks for the tip. I will investigate further and check all my photos.
    Cheers

  • Import picture issues - Half Black or all black

    Hi everyone,
    I have issues with Iphoto. I am not able to import any picture through iphoto... When I import all or any pictures, they are half-black or all black. In order to be sure to isolate the issue, I used others SD cards, card readers, etc. The issue is with iphoto, because I can import all my pictures without issues with Lightroom (so the issues are not the sd card, files corrupted, etc.).
    Prior to post my questions, I reinstalled iphoto, rebuild my library library, scanned my disks, etc. are nothing is working with iphoto... So I need your help...
    I have an imac early 2009 with all updated software and Yosemite... Any ideas??
    Many thanks

    . The issue is with iphoto, because I can import all my pictures without issues with Lightroom (so the issues are not the sd card, files corrupted, etc.).
    Lightroom is using Adobe's RAW support, and not the native MacOS X RAW support.
    You may want to  test from a different user account - for example the Guest User - this will tell you, if there is a system wide problem and reinstalling the RAW support is really necessary in your case.
    To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the Yosemite upgrade try this:
    To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
    If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
    The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/Coreservices" Folder:
    To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
    Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G  (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder")  and copy and paste "/System/Library/Coreservices" into the text field.
    In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the field back, if need be)
    Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
    Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.07  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1757
    In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
    Then restart your Mac.

  • Thumbnails are visible, photo's show black screen

    I use iPhoto now for about 4 weeks. In the beginning everything went perfect. After loading the photo's I could see the thumbnails. Clicking on the thumbnail lifted the photo ready to be modified.
    Since today, the new added photo's are still visible as thumbnail but after clicking the screen shows no photo but a black screen.
    The pictures show a "!" Is there a solution ?

    Option 1
    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. 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.

  • Portrait photos are black in iphoto

    Hi all,
    I've been looking on the forums and it seems like this is a fairly common problem, however I think mine might be slightly different. I have a Mac Book Air (10.8.2) and I'm using iPhoto (9.4.2). I've been downloading photos off my canon DSLR for ages and about a week ago I did a download and it was a bit of a problem. My computer kept saying it had run out of space on the hard drive and for a while I had been slowly moving stuff across to an external hardrive. Eventually there was enough room to download my photos so I did, and deleted the downloaded ones off my camera at the prompt like normal. As I was travelling I didn't have enough time to check them carefully and my computer was a bit slow, so I thought the rest would probably load later and didn't worry to much.
    What I have found now is that all the other photos loaded fine and only the portraits remain affected. I tried the rotate and return to original as suggested and it worked only on one of the photos but not on the others. When I looked at the original photos in Finder they are the right size for a photo but are also black. When I tried to open with photoshop I get the message: Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found.
    I just tried downloading my final holiday photos and they worked fine (both landscape and portrait), so it is really only one batch which is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thank you!

    It sounds like while trying to import the photos with insufficient disk space those image files were damaged and not copied fully.  Now that you have sufficient space (a minimum of 10 GB is recommended) the latest imports are good.
    What do you get if you export one of the problem photos out of iPhoto as Kind=Original and try to open it with Preview.  If it appears the same then there's nothing you can to do recover them.

  • I copied my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and all the event windows are black. Once you click on a square the photos are still there. How do I fix that?

    I copied my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and the event windows show up black.
    The photos are still there once I click on an event but they don't show in the window.
    My next step is to delete the iPhoto library from the internal memory to free some memmory space but I don't want to do this until I see that the library works fine on the external hard drive.
    How do I fix that?

    Hold down the "option" + "command" keys and launch iPhoto.
    Select the "Rebuild Thumbnails" choice.

  • Please help! i have broken my iphone, screens is totally smashed and black, photos are not on my icloud on pc for some reason, how do i get them onto my icloud without being able to use the phone? despratly need to acsess these photos on my pc.

    Don't try to use iCloud for this.  Instead, import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  That will import photos and videos from your camera roll.  You might also want to back it up before repairing or replacing it.  You can do this by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up; and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This backup can later be restored to your repaired or replaced phone to recover your data.

  • Facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome.

    Since July on MacBook Pro facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome. Everything is up to date including last version of Adobe Flash. And watching YouTube also a problem. Video is skipping, freezing for few seconds and jumps forward. At the same time on Toshiba with Windows Vista under the same account, same wi-fi connection everything works fine.
    Please help with sugesstions to fix the issue.

    Seems like problem is solved but it might be temporarily. Anyway. Click on the image, it will open facebook photo browser. Image is not loading so right click on the blue box with question mark, save image as. It will start downloading but without any success since browser do not see the image. After this attempt refresh the page and close all tabs with facebook. Try to open facebook once again. For some reason after this weird actions all images displayed properly. Do not know for how long but now it works.

  • Black and White Gray Scale Photos Are Dark When Exported from Indesign to PDF

    When I print right from InDesign the black and white photos look great.  However, if I print the exported pdf file, the black and white photos are much darker.  Is there something I should be doing upon export so that they will look as they do in InDesign?
    Thanks,

    I have tried different settings in format and color space all with the same results. I'm sure it has to do with system not being calibrated. I'm not to computer literate so not sure how all this works. The other programs must go along with my computer and moniter settings where LR and Elements produce their own rendering independent of settings. Yes, I checked and Elements renders like LR. I found some other forums that discussed similar problems but with color rendering. HMMM, just tried something. In Picassa I switched to Linear Gamma 2.2 in display mode and the LR edited photos look correct. So it must be something along those lines being the problem.

    I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
    Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
    It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

  • Trying to add album from iphoto into idvd slideshow.  Not all photos are loading.  Message "creating thumbnail images...(31 remaining).  Been there a long time.  What is wrong?

    trying to add album from iphoto into idvd slideshow.  Not all photos are loading.  Message "creating thumbnail images...(31 remaining).  Been there a long time.  What is wrong?

    Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them.  Report back with the results.

  • Photos on Facebook are all black, likewise full screen Youtube videos.

    When I click on a Facebook photo, it quickly shows a full size blurry sketch, then turns all black. I can watch Youtube videos small, but when I make them full screen, they are all black.
    Without first uninstalling Firefox, I downloaded Firefox and installed it again. It didn't improve the situation.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
