When i click on a thumbnail a totally picture shows up.
When I click on a thubnail on the last batch of pictures I downloaded, a totally different picture shows up from the same file, i even split the file into different events and the same thing happend, clicking on a thumbnail in one event brings up the pictures from the other event. Any idea?
Back up your iPhoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your thumbnails

I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?iPhoto 08?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. -
Could someone help me restore my photos? I was trying to "restore my database" in iPhoto when it shut down - now my thumbnails are distorted, logged under a new name, and when you click on a thumbnail it opens as another photo. I was following another "helpful hint" hold down the option and command key and restart iPhoto - select the top three and you should be able to get rid of the dreaded exclamation point. My MAC ran through the first two options dealing with thumbnails, but crashed during the "restore database" step and now I have a mess. Help, please. Thank you.

I have a problem with my 4s camera which has come up recently. Everytime I take a picture and look it up via the 'Photos' app, it shows as blank. But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album as a proper image. Besides, I have also experiences the camera working a bit wiered (slow and often blanks out the moment I am ready to take a photo). Any help on this pls?
Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?
Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened? Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

In iphoto, when I click on Print, the preview image it shows me is an enlarged section of my photo. (In iphoto I hadI cropped the photo and checked "with no restraints." )
Once the photo goes to Print, I can't fix it back to the way it is in iphoto.It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

In character dialog box; when I click on the "T" tool the leading shows 14.4pt. Is there a way to make the leading 100% scaled?
"Auto leading" is governed by the "Auto leading" percentage in the Justification dialog. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30d2a5051004d659b1c-7fe7a.ht ml for a full discussion (the official Help page...).
It *appears* you want the leading set to 100% of your font size. That is *technically* not a problem, but there are not many fonts that look nice with this. Hence the "120%" default -- neither very good, nor extremely bad. I usually go with about 2 pt above the text point size; but it depends on the font and the font size. -
I already have ios 7.0 installed in my iphone 4S. Although the size of ios 7.0.2 shows only a few MB, but when i click update using from my itunes it shows it is downloading 1.19GB. Why is this ? Do i have to download 1.19 GB?
If you update using iTunes, the full iOS is downloaded. If you update directly on your phone, this is called a "Delta" update, & only the changes to the iOS are downloaded. That's why you see the difference you see.

I'm having trouble importing pictures from the internet....when I drag the picture to the icon, it gives me the option to import all duplicates. Even when I click "NO", it STILL imports every picture I have imported AGAIN, including the new one! WHY??

In my iPhoto the thumbnails are all present but when I click on them the bigger picture is not visible and I can see a triangle with an exclamation mark in it. Has anyone got any suggestions?
That means iPhoto has lost the link to the original file.
What version of iPhoto?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
(A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.)

Why can't I get the image to view larger when you click on a thumbnail?
I thought that there was a way to have the image open up larger in a new little window when you click the thumbnail on a photos page....when I click a thumbnail on my photos page it takes me right to slideshow view and the images are displayed too small to see fine detail (I am a retoucher, so my clients need to be able to see hi res images) I can't find a way to change the size of the slideshow images or to get my thumbnails to click open to a hi res version in a new window. The only solution I can think of is to use a blank template page, make each small image a link to a hidden page with the image at hi resolution....but this would take forever and I would have a gazillion pages on my site that way. Any idea how to get around this. Seems like the older version of iweb didn't have this problem...????
(for an example of what I mean, my site: http://www.katesilsby.com (retouch page) and what old iweb did and what I want to happen: http://web.mac.com/vogier/iWeb/vivian%20ogier/wardrobe.html(for an example of what I mean, my site: http://www.katesilsby.com (retouch page) and what old iweb did and what I want to happen: http://web.mac.com/vogier/iWeb/vivian%20ogier/wardrobe.html
iWeb2 photos page is completely different from that of iWeb1.
iWeb2 photos page can be retro back to iWeb1, but not without major javascript coding.

Why do I get a black exclamation mark blocking a photo when I click on a thumbnail in iPhoto?
Why am I getting a triangle with a black exclamation mark when I click on theumbnails in iPhoto?
That's an indication that the file path/link between the thumbnail and master/original file has been broken. Try the following to fix the links:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

When i click on iphoto the photos don't show up
when i click on the iphoto icon my photos do not appear! If i hold the click on the mouse, they appear, but if i try to access them they disappear. Please help!
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
