Why does a black triangle appear instead of landscape photos from a shared library

We have an iMac using OSX10.7.5 and running iPhoto 11 v9.4.1.
There are 2 users of the iMac with separate logins. We have an iPhoto library that is user 1 administers and imports photos to, edits photos etc. User 1 can access and see all photos without any problems in thumbnail or large scale/full screen under their login.
When user 2 accesses the photos on the user 2 login, all photos can be seen in thumbnail, but when double clicked to show photos at larger to full screen size, all portrait pictures show ok, but after a first landscape photo sometimes showing, the rest of the landscope photos produce (sometimes) a flash of the picture but then the area of the photo goes black with a warning sign, that is a triangle with an explanation mark appears in the centre of the screen.
If user 2 runs a slideshow, the portrait pictures show up, the screen is black/blank whilst landcsape photos would be shown
A very few landscape photos can be seen and they all appear to be files of less than 1.5mb, but this does not apply to all photos of less than 1.5mb.
The photo library has photos from 2 iPhone 4s, 2 Leica and 2 Nikon cameras of varying sizes. The problem does not seem to be associated with any particular camera.
User 2 (my wife) is very unhappy!
Any help and insights welcome.
Many thanks
Wally

Where is this library located? If it's in the Shared folder then that's probably why you're having problems. But it's usually with permissions, not broken links/file path to the original photo that the exclamation mark is an indication of.
Your best and most trouble free solution is to put the library on an external hard drive that's been formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with owner ship set to be ignored:
You can try the following to fix the problem but be warned that the problme may manifest itself again after some use: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) 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.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
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.

Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear then disappear?

Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear but then disappear? When I open a window the scrollbar is sometimes there for a just few seconds. If I select it within a few seconds and use it everything works fine. If I don't use it, it disappears and I can't get it back. How do I get the scroll bar back? Why won't the scrollbar show up at all on web pages?

It's a feature which is supposed to enhance your interface with your Mac and its operating system on screen. It is a "visual aid" that is meant to remove on screen clutter.
You can go to 'system prefs/ click general/ click 'Show scroll "Always button"
There you go

How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

If you're with Verizon, here's what I found on the boards:
Dial *228, press 1 when the nice lady answers and wait until she tells you your phone has been successfully programmed.
Then hang up, and press the home key twice rapidly and delete the open/running apps that appear there - delete from that second screen, NOT from the Dock at the bottom of your home screen! You don't want to delete the programs, you just want to close the open/running apps.
Wait 5 minutes or so, then voila! Mine was fixed!

Why does a bar sometimes appear below the Firefox icon in my tray?

Why does a thick bar appear under the Firefox icon in my tray. I cannot correlate its appearance to anything I'm doing online.

Try to reinstall Firefox.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 32.0.1: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear when opening a file?

Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear every time I open a file- asking to substitute fonts that I've had working for years. Also, what is that pink box around the type- they are not missing fonts.

Which version?- Latest Creative Cloud Type Kit
Which system?- Mac OS 10.10.1, iMac 7i
Where does the file come from? File is an Adobe Illustrator CC
Which fonts?- Any and all fonts that was used in the .ai file which I have been using for years.
Do you use font management? Which one? Mac Font Book
Are you really sure that your fonts are properly installed? Yes and verified.
Did it ever work? Yes, Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud I get a window stating that the fonts in an existing file are missing and do I want to substitute.
Did you just upgrade?- Apps always upgraded.
Did you change systems?- Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud
The PINK box around the type, I believe, indicates a missing font- but they are not missing and I'm sure as hell not going to let Type Kit control MY FONTS. How do I turn it off as the pink box is intruding with the design composition???
SEE Sumit Singh’s reply- worked for the pink highlight. I have to see about the dialog box thing- I will let you know.

Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch?

Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch? Someone used my computer under another account, and now my preferences seem to be changed. How do I fix it so iPhoto must me opened manually?

Some possibilities:
Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.
