Why are some of my photos in iphoto coming out small

This happens in my iphoto library, when viewing, many of my pictures are only showing small version. I can't figure out why. On my Macbook, this was not the case. I am not a techie so when answering please try to use lay language. Anyhelp please?

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 are the pixel dimensions of the photos in question?
did you import one library into another at any time?
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?
how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Why are some of the photos that I have previously successfully synched to my iPhone, no longer synching?

    I have a folder in iPhoto specifically for photos that I want to sync to my iPhone. This has worked for years and I've never had an issue. Suddenly, some of the photos from this folder are no longer synching, and I receive an error message during synching that reads: "Some of your photos, including the photo “DSC_0022.JPG”, were not copied to the iPhone “My iPhone 3GS” because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone." The same exact thing has started happening when we sync my husband's iPhone 4. These same photos were previously successfully synched to our iPhones, so....what gives? As an experiement, I dragged one of the photos to the desktop, deleted the photo from within iPhoto, then dragged it back into iPhoto. Then, I re-synched. This worked. But, do I now need to do this with every one of these un-synched photos? Does anyone know what's going on here? Very, very weird. It appears to be happening after the most recent iPhone update, I think. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Chicky, I have searched my computer for "iPod Photo Cache" and 51 folders pop up, plus 3 files (iPodInfo.plist, Photo Database and Image DB Temp.tmp). How do I know which to delete and which to keep? The Apple website page tackling this issue doesn't go into any detail. Thanks yet again.

  • HT201317 why are some of my photos in albums on my phone but not in photo stream

    Why are photos taken with iphone in "album" but not on photostream? All setting are on.

  • Why are some of my photos in my Photo Library doubled?

    Wondering why, when I synced my photos, my photos have been doubled. I can't seem to find a way to fix this. I also can only select "All folders" and not "Selected Folders" now.

    These previous discussions may help (I think these are in the Premiere Elements area, but the idea is the same for PPro)

  • Why are some of my photos tack sharp while others in the same series are out of focus?

    My camera is a Canon Rebel XS (dSLR) and I primarily use the 50mm f/1.8 lens. 
    I shoot in Manual Mode with Autofocus ON.
    I am having difficulty with my photos coming out incositant - some are out of focus, while others in the same series (taken a moment apart) are tack sharp.
    I've attached two examples - one of the out-of-focus image, the other sharp images (both have been blown up).
    It is not camera shake and my settings are identical for both photos. (ISO 200 | f/4.5 | 1/100sec in this instance.)
    This has become such a problem that I find myself needing to take 10x more photos of the same subject/pose in order to hopefully get one sharp image from the series.
    I have asked multiple people about this problem (though I have yet to take my camera and lens to a shop due to lack of funds) and no one has any idea of either what I'm talking about or what the problem could be.
    I would appreciate your thoughts and help!
    Thank you! 
    Fuzzy/Out of Focus:
    Sharp:

    This new pair of images does not look like camera motion -- this one looks like it missed focus.
    If you use the included Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with your camera, you can right-click an image and tell it show you the focus point which were used (the camera wont know if you did a focus-and-recompose technique... so if you recompose after locking focus then the focus points indicated by DPP wouldn't be meaningful). But I bring this up because it would allow you to determine which focus point the camera claims it used.
    I think you mentinoned that you used "One Shot" focus mode -- not AI Servo. One Shot should block the camera from taking the shot until it thinks it confirmed focus-lock on the selected AF point (or on at least one AF point it you allow the camera to pick from any of its available focus points.) In AI Servo the camera WILL take the shot when you fully press the button -- whether it successfully locked focus or not.
    That brings us back to the subject of the focus test.
    If you do not own a commercial chart, then you may want to download one from the Internet and print it. Here's a good site: http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/focus-chart
    Print the chart and follow the instructions. I deliberately run the camera out of focus to nearest focus distance and force the camera to re-focus and shoot... and I repeat this at least a half-dozen times. I then repeat... but this time deliberately run the camera out of focus to infinity before forcing the camera to focus and take the shot.
    Track each shot as you do the focus test. You may see a pattern emerge (e.g. perhaps it nails focus when going in one direction to find focus... but misses in another, etc.) Such a pattern might indicate the lens is getting sloppy and needs service (it's usually not worth servicing the 50mm f/1.8 due to it's low cost.) The USM and STM lenses allow full-time manual focus override (even if the lens is auto-focusing). The basic auto-focus motor lenses (like the 50mm f/1.8) do not support this and forcing manual focus without disengaging the focus system can be harmful.

  • Why are some of my photos not saving?

    since downloading iOS 8 on my 5S I've noticed some of my photos having been saving. They will show up in the thumbnail after they are taken but if I click on it, it will show me the picture before that. I've only noticed this when I use my volume keys to take the picture.

    Hi MoLovin,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's photos not displaying in the correct order, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • Why are some of my Time Machine windows greyed out?

    When I enter Time Machine, some of the windows (say Finder windows) are white and I can access them for a restore. Others are greyed out (actually a purple color) and I cannot access them, even though they are relevant to my User files i.e. not someone else's. There are two standard users on this laptop, plus a User with Administrator rights plus a guest User.
    The same pattern of windows appears in each of the other Users.
    Not a desperate issue at the moment, but I am interested to know why.

    The unavailable snapshots don't include the folder from which you're entering Time Machine. Start from the top-level view in the Finder that shows all volumes connected to the computer. Enter Time Machine and then descend to the folder you want to restore from.

  • Why are some of the loops in GB 'greyed

    Why are some of the loops in GB 'greyed out' " I'm specifically interested in 'slide guitar' for example and cant find a reason why there's no access. My iMAC was bought in April 2010??

    You're using the forums to spam your site in almost every single thread, and wasting users time.
    Have to disagree with you there, Court Kizer. The Bullets&Bones site is, in many ways, where I really learned how to use GarageBand.

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • Why are some of the file folders on my desktop showing up with a shaded color?

    Why are some of the folders on my desktop showing up with a different folder color, a dark shad of blue, opposed to the default blue color?
    I've searched and searched but all I can find are posts on how to change the color of your folder. I am concerned that maybe, I accidentally shared it or have done something I am not aware of. (Mac Mini, 2.3 i7, 1TB, 16GB RAM running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2)

    I don't know how many photos you're trying to post on one page but if you put too many PCs using Internet Explorer may have problems loading the page.  I prefer to keep the number down to less than 50 and have more than one page which will be indicated by the page links at the top of the thumbnails:
    These smaller pages will load faster and in more browsers.

  • Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos.  However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled.  What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?
