Why i am unable to export to photos in lr 3.6 ?

I use adobe photoshop lightroom 3.6, earlier i was able to export photos to my desired folders in desired format but  i am not at all able to export any photos at all!

You need to tell us somewhat more than "not able to export".
Like: what is your procedure and what exactly or where exactly does which issue occur and on which OS you are working.

  • Images disappearing from slideshow - also unable to export these photos

    Hi I hope someone can help me....
    I made a slideshow of holiday photos and it played successfully 5 or 6 times, but when I came back to it recently some of the photos just don't appear (black screen) - when I went through it the photos that weren't appearing are still in the preview strip at the top of the page, but when selected, a grey box with a dotted line around it and a question mark in the middle appears.
    I didn't worry about this for a while, but now I am finding that I cannot export these photos either. It seems to be random - some photos I can burn to disc and some I can't. Is there anything I am missing, should I be looking for some info regarding these photos to see why they are behaving differently from others? This is now also happening to photos in my library that I haven't put in a slide show....

    To be honest I'm not sure why sometimes there's an exclamation point, and somtimes a question mark, but it essentially means the same thing. iPhoto cannot find the file.
    Assuming that you haven't been changing this in the iPhoto Library Folder then we have to assume that the database is corupt - which can happen from time to time. Sometimes the rebuild will fix it. Let's try an different method of rebuilding:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager from
    http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iphotolibrarymanager.html
    and use it to rebuild the library. It has a more robust series of tools for the job.
    In any event your pictures should be safe in the iPhoto Library Folder.
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    So, if you back up the iPhoto Library Folder it will save your photos.

  • Unable to export scanned photos

    HELP!!!!
    I have several photos that were scanned into my iphoto library and used successfully in a previous projects.  However, now I am unable to access them AT ALL.  I have tried to export to the desktop, facebook, and external hard drive without success (it gives me the "no" symbol).  In addition, when I try to click on them to preview in EDIT, I get an exclamation point and no picture. 
    I have successfully transfered most of my library to my extrernal drive, however, I do not want to lose these pictures! (HOURS of work involved in scanning!)
    Any suggestions are appreciated!  Thank you-

    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 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto  8.1.2 and later  or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) 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 (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) 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.

  • Unable to export some photos to iPhone, or iPad.

    When I try to export an album I created (let say a birthday party) to my iPhone, only some of the photos show up in my iPhone or iPad even though there are 70 photos only 13 show. Can someone help please?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Abel.
    I assume you are syncing the Album in question by selecting the Album in iTunes?
    Do other Albums sync fine?
    If you double-click on the images that will not sync in iPhoto do they show up full screen in iPhoto?
    What format are these images? (Click on the picture then click on the "i" button in the bottom left corn of iPhoto.)
    Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and syncing try again:
    Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There will may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    If the issue persists try rebuilding your iPhoto Library following this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638. Use the bottom 3 rebuild options.
    If the issue persists at this point restore your iPhone http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why am I unable to export to Word, getting an unexpected error

    I seem to no longer be able to export a Pages document to Word. I get an unexpected error message. Anybody know how to fix? Is this one of deleting preferences, or something to that effect, to get it to work again? Any help is appreciated.

    You updating MS Office shouldn't affect Pages exporting to Word.
    I think you should try uninstalling iWork/Pages and install it again. 
    To uninstall correctly iWork, go to Yvans iDisk :
    <http://public.me.com/koenigyvan>
    Download :
    For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
    Expand the archive and run the script.
    Restart the computer and install iWork/Pages again.

  • IPhoto unable to export EXIF information correctly for photos with color filters

    I have imported photos from my phone to iPhoto and noticed that some of the photos do not have EXIF information when exporting to other places or synced back to iPhone.When I am trying to view the photo in iPhoto, the date is correctly shown.
    The date shown in the iPhone photo moment tab is the import date rather than the original date when the photos were taken.
    When I am trying toview the photo in iPhoto, the date is correctly shown.
    (for example: the photo was taken in Dec 1, 2012, imported to iPhoto in Nov 1, 2014, and synced back to iPhone.
    the date shown in iPhone is Nov 1, 2014, the date shown in iPhoto is Dec 1, 2012.)
    After further looking into the details of the photo, i have noticed that theses photos are taken with color filters in iPhone or bursting photos or panoramas.
    (e.g a mono or fade filter choosed when taking photo in iPhone camera).
    When choose " reveal in finder" option in iPhoto for these photos, there are two options : view original or modified.
    the original files contain EXIF information and the modified files do not.
    the original files show photo without color filter
    the modified files shows photo with color filter, the modified photos are what the photos were contained in iPhone originally.
    When exported syncing these photos, the modified files was exported/synced, however, no EXIF information was exported. photos only contains the creation date.
    These resulted in a mess in the photo collection in my phone. photos were displayed in wrong order.
    When i export these photo to another location for back up purposes, i choose "include all location information, name, keyword", only the modified photos were exported without any EXIF information.
    The only way I found is reveal these photos in finder.
    iPhoto seems unable to export/sync photos that are taken with color filters/ panorama photos/ bursting photos.
    is there any way to solve this problem? Thank you!

    i have just taken a photo with effects and imported to iPhoto, The EXIF can be exported. The problem is syncing.
    I think this problem only happen to photo taken before iOS 8.
    EXIF of photo with effects unable be synced back to iPhone.
    Apple acknowledged that the new Photos.app in iOS 8 is handling edits differently, see:
    iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices
    In iOS 8 edited versions are stored in a different way from previously. And it looks like there is now a bug, that prevents the older edited versions from being handled correctly.
    Send a bug report to Apple. You could use the feedback form, if you do not have a developer account: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

  • Unable to search for photos in Spotlight.

    Some weeks ago, I inadvertently dragged my 'Pictures' folder into the desktop, and managed to replace it, but after that, (and after temporarily renaming it 'Images') I can no longer search for photos in Spotlight.
    Spotlight Preferences now recognises 'Images' and I'm unable to change it back to 'Pictures'.
    Any advice or solution would be greatly appreciated.

    Spotlight Preferences now recognises 'Images' and I'm unable to change it back to 'Pictures'.
    As I said before there is no "photo" file type, just a bunch of other kinds (tiff, jpeg, GIF, and maybe 20 other possible extensions) that are used for photos. I don't think Spotlight uses the term "Pictures", just "images". I have a "Pictures" folder but in Spotlight I just see "Images" in the search results, and "Images" is what is uses in the preferences.
    this doesn't explain why I'm unable to search for photo files using Spotlight.
    Make sure that the area containing your photos is not excluded from search by the privacy feature in Spotlight's preferences.
    Spotlight searches for text information. For example, I have lots of photos, but spotlight only find a single one since I don't use the word "photo" in any of my file names or folder names. The one file it finds has "Created by Adobe Photoshop" in the metadata - Spotlight is keying in on the word "photo". If I type in the word "Picture" it finds the Pictures folder, but doesn't list the contents since none of those have the word "Picture" in their names or text within the file.
    What exact search term are you entering into Spotlight? Are you sure that a file exists with that term in its name, or perhaps in text included within the file?

  • Newbie Question- unable to view certain photos in iPhoto 6

    First time Mac user..just got my MBP.
    I created folders and albums under iPhoto. I then copied .JPGs from my shared Windows drive directly into the albums. They get imported correctly because I can see all the pictures in the "gallery" view. However, when I click certain individual pictures, I get a outlined grey box with an exclamation in the middle. This happens with about half the photos. I can't seem to view them.
    However, when I go through Finder, I am able to double click on the same photos and view them using Preview. Full size.
    Anyone know why I am unable to view certain photos in iPhoto but am able to view everything in Preview?
    Any help is appreciated..
    Thanks!

  • Unable to export photos, original file was emptied in Trash and cannot recover.

    Photo files are still in Lightroom, but I accidentally deleted and emptied the Trash with the original photo files. So now, as I try to export the photos, it is saying photos are offline or missing. I cannot recover the original file location because the trash was emptied. How can I still export the photos in Lightroom, it's a wedding that I HAVE to be able to export?!

    If the file is deleted, you restore it from your camera card; or
    If the file is deleted, you restore the photo from your backups.
    If you have no backups, well I can't understand why anyone would not have backups of important photos. You might want to consider developing a strategy where all your files are backed up as soon as possible after the photos are copied from camera card to computer.
    You can recover the previews from Lightroom, but these are usually small size and lower-quality versions of your photos, probably not suitable for printing. Use this plug-in to recover the previews: robcole.com - PreviewExporter
    You might also try recovering the deleted files from your computer's hard disk and/or camera card, using something known as an "undelete utility", one of which is Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download
    By the way, your photos are never stored in Lightroom, they are/were stored on your hard disk.

  • Why I do loose some editing when I export a photo or try to send it by email?

    Why do I loose some of my iphoto editing when I export the photo or send it out to Facebook or email?

    No information given so we can only guess
    You are doing it incorrectly - to properly export select the photo(s) an use the file menu ==> export to a deaktop folder  --  to e-mail either set up the desired e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and share via e-mail, export as above, use Apple Mail and use the media browser or in teh e-mail attach window lok in the lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto and select teh photo

  • Why can't I export iPhone photos from iPhoto?

    iPhoto recently started crashing whenever I try to export photos that have been imported from my iPhone.
    No problems exporting photos from other cameras, just the iPhone.
    In fact, If I mix photos from several cameras in one Event and try to export them all, the export goes smoothly until it hits the iPhone photo at which point iPhoto crashes.
    Any clue why and/or how to fix this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    FYI.  I'm using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 and OSX 10.9.3.

    the export goes smoothly until it hits the iPhone photo at which point iPhoto crashes.
    Is it just one particuar photo?  Have your photos been edited on the iPhone with iOS 7 effects? HDR photos, panoramic photos?
    and then I export the edited photos to the hard drive on my iMac so I can burn them to a CD.
    Does iPhoto only crash, when you export the photos with "File > Export > Edited" or also, when you export them with "File > Export > Original"?
    If you can export the originals, check, if the photos areo.k. and you can open them in Preview.
      I'm using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 and OSX 10.9.3.
    That is a risky combination. iPhoto 8.1.2 is not fully supported on Mavericks, and probably your current problem is due to the fact, that iPhoto 8.1.2 does not work well withMavericks.  Is there a reason, that you do not want to update to iPhoto 9.5.1 for full compatibility?

  • When I try to export a photo to my desktop I get the followiing error message "Export Versions Complete with Errors" any ideas why?

    when I try to export a photo to my desktop I get the followiing error message "Export Versions Complete with Errors" any ideas why?

    Have you tried to export different images as a test to see if it is related to the one you are getting the error on? Also try to export to a different folder other then the Desktop, again to see if the problem is connected to that folder.
    Another thing to do is run the Aperture Library First Aid on the library. Hold the option and command keys down while you start Aperture. First run the Permission Repair and see if that helps. If not quit Aperture and restart and run the Library Repair and try.
    Post back if you still have problems

  • When exporting from Photos, the panel for naming the file no longer shows up. Why and how do I change so I can name the file what I want?

    When exporting from Photos, the panel for naming the file no longer shows up. Why and how do I change so I can name the file what I want?

    You don't need to maintain all versions of the upgrade chain, but many of us do in case we need to work on a legacy file. If you want to rmove a version, though, ti should be done BEFORE installing the later one. Just reinstall CS5 and things should get back to normal.
