When I try and view some images they fade to a large exclamation mark!

I recently upgraded my imac and have iphoto 9 installed.
Since importing images large numbers of the photos cannot be viewed as they display the exclamation mark. I am not sure that the two things are related.
Can anybody shed some light on this. My guess is iphoto cannot find files but this is odd as they were viewable previously even on the new machine.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails:
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 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.

When I try and view a downloaded clip in IE the screen opens but nothing happens

When try and view a downloaded shckwave object in IE a blank screen appears
and the little wheel goes round and round but the clip does not play

Hi Andrew and Happy New Year to you too. Sometimes I get too busy:-) Thanks for the information.
Sometimes the Flash Player 10 ActiveX will install and be listed in the Add/Remove, but for some reason or the other,
the Shockwave Flash Object, the ActiveX Control will not be installed in the browser add ons. In your case since you have version 9 installed, in addition to the above in the add ons there should be Flash9?.ocx as well. The ? mark will be a letter
and most importantly be Enabled. This is a must for Flash Player to work.
It is very easy to get Shockwave Flash Object confused with Shockwave ActiveX Control. The Shockwave Player that you have listed in Add/Remove also has in your add ons an ActiveX Control and they work together. The Flash Player works
together with the Shockwave Flash Object, which is it's ActiveX Control.
The reason I asked you about the DLM is because sometimes after in downloads it does not disconnect, so glad it's not there.
In the Flash folder you should have listed Flash9?.ocx, FlashUtil9?.exe, install.log, Uninstall_ActiveX.exe.
Recheck your add ons(the downloaded now and the have been used) the drop down arrow should show you both. You can tell if SFO is there as described above and if it's enabled.
This link may be helpful to you to read over regarding Security Settings and ActiveX Controls. I wouldn't take any action at this time until we see if you need to.

When i try and download some items i get the error message that that say that the download can't continue because i need a later version of Firefox I have 5.0 currently installed on my PC. one such download was the Google toolbar

I have a dell 320 optiplex 1.80 GHz. as stated above when I try and download certain items i get an error message essentially telling me that my version of Firefox is not compatible with ?(item i'm trying to download) the most recent was Google toolbar. the irony of it all is that I have version 5.0 installed so not unless I miss something when I initially installed Firefox 5.0 would be the latest version

If you don't already have the "Google Toolbar" why would you want it, it is a problematic extension as are most third party toolbars. I would expect that anything that just about anything that you would use it for can be done with a bookmarklet. As for searching, the builtin Firefox search bar is wonderful you can add or create search engines for it.
Google Toolbar (the second link tells you how you run it)

Firefox 4.0 is my default browser, and I am receiving a script error message when I try to view online images in Family Tree Maker 2011, a genealogy program. Have not had problems until Firefox 4.0. Can't seem to find a setting in Firefox to fix this.

Error is as follows: Line: 63 Char: 4344 Error: Unable to get value of the property 'offsetHeight': object is null or undefined Code: 0 URL: http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?2.8.0/build/yuiloader-dom- event/yuiloader-dom-event.js&2.8.0/build/dragdrop/dragdrop- min.js&2.8.0/build/stylesheet/stylesheet- Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Y/N buttons."

I see. Well, I just tried to make IE my default browser, but it did not solve the problem. I receive the same script error when I view the image. (I may not have explained this thoroughly enough at first - I do get to view the image after answering the error message, but the print button embedded in the window doesn't work. Before, I never had a problem with viewing or printing.)
I imagine that at this point I will either need to communicate this to the IE people, or possibly revert to an older version of IE.

'not a valid photoshop document' when I try and overlay an image on photoshop.. help!!!

I downloaded jpeg files from google drive. As far as I know they are not corrupted and when I used them on the newest version of photoshop they worked. What I am trying to do is place images next to one another. Everytime I try and do this a notice comes up saying 'it is not a valid photoshop document'. I have tried changing the jpg to photoshop format pdf and also opening them as photoshop files - I dont know what else I can do and my photography deadline is tomorrow for my final edits!
PLEASE HELP

Without having access to the file that you are working with I would not know how to help. There can be many factors involved that are giving you grief. Are you on PC or Mac? There are many here that are more savvy with the nuances and problematic issues with Ps than I. If you wish to send me one of the files I can give it a try on my setup and see what happens- [email protected]

When I try and send picture emails, they arrive as attachments.

Hello there,
I'm trying to send a newsletter-style email. I'd like it to arrive in all recipricants inbox's as a picture. When I drag and drop pictures into Mac Mail though, they arrive in Hotmail accounts (and probably others) as attachments rather than in the email body. How do I resolve this?
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you so much... It was doing my head in!! Don't know how this happened

Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

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). 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?

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

When I try and view some images they fade to a large exclamation mark!
