When I try to enlarge my pictures in I Photo they go to a "!"

When I try to enlarge my photos in I Photo on my Mac Book Pro all I get is a "!".  It also appears next to all of the music that I have in Itunes.

In iPhoto, that means the photos don't have a high enough resolution to make good quality enlargements from. I don't know what it means in iTunes.

  • A black triangle comes up when I try to edit a picture from i photo ---how do I get rid of this and what does it mean?library--what does this mean and how do I get rid of it?

    A black triangle come up in i photo when I try to edit a picture from my library.  I don't know what it means or how to get rid of it?  Thanks for
    any help.

    In iTunes, click on "iTunes" in the menu bar, then on "About iTunes". Which version do you have?
    If you are running OS X 10.5.8 (as per your signature), the iTunes 10.6.3 is the latest you can install and use. If your iTunes version is older, you can get that 10.6.3 here and see if it can deal with the library.
    The latest iTunes, version 10.7, requires OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Unless your signature is wrong and you run a late Snow Leopard, Lion or even Mountain Lion, it won't work for you, and you could add me to the list of people asking the same question as Allan, "where's that library from?".

  • When I try to access a picture from i photo the picture will come up and then quickly the screen goes black and there is a white exclamation mark.  Also when using faces and scrolling down pictures some disappear very quickly after a brief look.

    When using i photo and trying to pull up individual photos - the photo will appear and quickly disappear only to be replaced by a black screen with a white explanation mark.  This happens with all of my photos.  Has anyone had this problem and if so what can be done to fix it.  I did not select this graphic to be added to my i photo pictures - the blace sign with the white explanation mark.  Also, when scrolling down photos in faces some of my pictures disappear after a quick view. 
    Thanks for any help you can provide.  It seems like something has gotten into my i photo picture account?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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 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 to enlarge pictures in iPhoto I get a black screen with an triangle with a "!".

    My iMac hard drive crashed and I reloaded Lion and applications including iPhoto. I reloaded the iPhoto database from a backup hard drive. When I open iPhoto I can see my pictures in their events groups. However, when I try to enlarge them I get a black screen with an traingle with an "!". How do I correct the problem.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 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.

    Hello Tholc
    The reason for that is the screen motion that is enabled. With certain photos and how they were taken, they will be zoomed in so that there is no black space on the photo.

  • In my photo album I have the thumbnails of pics but when I try to enlarge to see them they disappear.Help please

    My photos have disappeared when I try to enlarge them but are there in thumbnails?

    Yes, you can upload directly to FB from Photos but you can only post to your own wall.  I want to select pictures from FB so I can post to a group.  It's not just FB.  Any time I look for that album to attach a picture, the album is not there.  If I compose an email and want to attach a photo from that new album, the album is not there to choose from.

  • When i try to enlarge a photo why is it i get an exclamation point?  it's not on ever photo.  only some.

    when i try to enlarge a photo why is it i get a black screen with an exclamation point?  it's not every photo but it is many.

    The exclamation point means that iPhoto has broken the link to the original file.  Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    For Instagram you can try and uninstall and reinstall the app and see if that fixes it. But if not you can try and resetting all settings, Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

  • When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?

    When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?  It does not happen with all the pictures.

    Is you library a "referenced" or "managed" library:
    That message is generated when a library is a "referenced" library and the location of the files have been moved from where they were when originally imported into iPhoto.
    Are the photos that this is happening to in the same Event(s)?
    What system are your running?  Where is your library located? How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

  • Since Photos, I notice that in Mail when I try to save a  picture it goes to iPhoto as before not Photos?  Is there a preference setting somewhere?  GH

    Since Photos, I notice that in Mail when I try to save a  picture it goes to iPhoto as before not Photos?  Is there a preference setting somewhere?
    GH

    How are you saving the picture.  Are you selecting the Export to Photos option in this contextual menu?
    Currently that contextual menu doesn't work.  You can drag the photo from the email window to the Photos icon in the Dock or drag the photo to the Desktop and import from there.  Then delete the copy on the Desktop.  Tell Apple about this bug in Mail/Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

    Hello!, my name is jan and i am using lightroom 2 for many years. I have an original set-up disk with a 24 digit serial number. I had never problems wih installation of lightroom. suddenly lightroom refuses to start when I try to from a picture i have taken with my nikon D500 and transferred to WINDOWS 8.1.  i have tried to re-install lightroom : the procedure asks for the serieal number , but refuses to accept the number that always worked. PLEASE help!!  jan

    If you are certain you have the right serial number, there really isn't much we can help you with here. You might try downloading and installing the last version of Lightroom 2. It will be the trial version, but when the trial screen appears there is an option to indicate that you have a serial number. Incidentally, Lightroom serial numbers start with the first four digits being 1160.
