Why is iphoto having trouble with rotating photos all of a sudden?

i've been using iphoto for a few years. suddenly it un-rotated all of my auto-rotated photos (which screwed up all of my face tags) and now when i upload new photos, if they auto-rotate during the upload they appear in the preview of a whole event, but if i double-click to see a vertical photo, or try to do a slideshow, i get the triangle with an exclamation point in it, indicating that something's wrong with the file. is anyone else having this trouble? or have any idea what to do?
thanks...

I've never used the Flickr feature so don't know if that as any bearing on the problem. if you're satisfied with the newly "fixed" library you can delete the copy of the original library that you made.
However, since you're having problems with rotated photos you might try this and see if the new library has the rotated photos displayed correctly:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
If the rotated photos display correctly in this new library then the problem lies with the orther libraries being damages somehow. You may want to stay with the new library even though the projects, i.e. books, etc. and keywords are lost.
If you have a lot of keywords in your current library and want to move them to the new library you can by doing this:
1 - open the old library and select one photo.
2 - type Command+K to brinb up the keyword pane.
3 - click on all of the keywords that are not blue so that all of the keywords are blue.
4 - export that photo to the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select Kind=JPEG and check the two check boxes regarding keywords, locations, etc.
5 - open the new library with iPhoto and import the exported photo from the Desktop. That will bring in all of the keywords so that you don't have to recereate them one by one in the new library.

Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.

Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine. Can you tell me why Photo Stream will not stay enabled. When I reboot, it will disable not to mention that it will not get any pushed photos. Is there a 64 bit version?

Hello tw_mama,
I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and found an article that may shed some light on the subject. It's called iCloud: Account troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
This section in particluar:
I get an "Unsupported Apple ID" error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works in the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or with other Apple Services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you cannot use your Apple ID with any Apple Services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
All the best,

Hi all, Since I updated to Mavericks I am having trouble with Safari showing all the buttons/clickable options, but they are gray and will not work. Specifically, the Trash Can/Delete and the "Move to" folder button simply do not work. Any ideas?

E-Mailing Photos from iPhoto - Having trouble with resolution

I am having trouble with emailing pictures from i-photo. When I email pictures as attachments they end up being low resolution versions and the receiver can not print them. I can not figure out what sort of setting I must have set. Please help.

MMVP
Welcome to the Apple user assistance forums
1 - how are you selecting and attaching the photos?
2 - what is the resolution of the photos in iPhoto?
3 - if you are using the iPhoto e-mail capability (recommended) you select a photo(s) and click mail - there you can choose actual, large, medium or small
4 - this creates an e-mail message in the e-mail client of your choice (iPhoto preferences) - if you are using Apple mail in the lower right hand corner under the e-mail there is a menu where you can set Actual, large, medium or small
Be sure that both selections are set the way you want them - if either is se tto small you will send a small (low resolutin) photo

Why am I having trouble with my keyboard?

Ever since the IOS 6 update, I have been having trouble with my keyboard. I type a word and press space bar, then type the next word but it doesn't recognize the fact that I typed the space bar. It lights up as a mispelled word. It has done with numerous times. I then have to go back, highlight the area, and choose two separate words when the auto-correct options appear. It is very annoying. Anyone else having this issue????

If the App store app is crashing see:

Why am i having trouble with one of my iPod touch's game and playing it online

Ever since I got the iOS 6 update on my fourth generation iPod touch;I have been having a hard time playing Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies online. I can manage to get it to try to connect me to the room or whatever but then it says it had an error in joining the room. Sometimes I try to play and the app kicks me off and leaves me on my iPod's home screen D= Does anyone nknow why my game may be doing this? I paid $7 for that game =_=

I am having this exact same problem. Except I am using an iphone5. I can play solo just fine, but when I try to play online, game center connects me to other players, then it says "Connecting to online services" then it says "error on joing room" and boots me back to the main menu.
It doesnt matter whether i'm on my work or home wifi, I always get the same error.
btw, the orignal call of duty zombies works fine online. I'm only having issues with the black ops version

Why am I having trouble with iphoto?

Can someone walk me through opening iphoto?

So iPhoto opens but the photos are not showing up. That's a different problem altogether. Try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) 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.
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.

HT204264 I am having trouble with the Photos app.

I have a 2011 macbook air with a core i7 and 8 megs of ram and a 512 gb hard drive that has plenty of space left. When I upgraded to 10.10.3, it switched my iPhotos app for Photos. Now when I run the app, it makes my fan go crazy and my processor usage goes through the roof on activity monitor. When I quit, everything goes back to normal. I have about 7000 pics and iPhoto would be slow when I would use it, but not like this. I thought Photos was supposed to be able to handle large photo libraries. I haven't heard of anybody else having this problem online. The only thing I can think of is when I started it up and it was "optimizing" or something, I ignored that message and closed it or something. But now I have let it run overnight and it shows no improvement. Thanks for any help you can offer!

RR,
Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

IPhoto '09 trouble with deleting photos

I have a large amount of photos on iphoto. (13,000+) I am attempting to take them off.To make sure I have backups I first put them onto an external drive and also burn CD or DVDs. For some of my photos this has been successful. For a majority of them when I have backed up my photos satisfactorily I DELETE THEM by sending them to iphoto trash. I then empty the trash. The photos are gone. The number of photos in my iphoto drop. (My goal). When I close iphoto and come back a while later the photos I have deleted reappear and then number is high again. This has happened to several groups of photos. iPhoto won't delete them either in the iphoto trash or the regular trash. I have tried putting only 100 photos at a time in the trash. This didn't make any difference. WHAT SHOULD I DO to get rid of these photos so I can make more space iphoto? Why would they show up back in the library when they were deleted in the iphoto trash?????

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Because your database has been damaged.
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, faces and places 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.

Why am I having trouble with my iPad recognizing a new Apple ID?

I have read the discussions, have followed several suggestions and leads, but when I enter my existing apple id and password (which have been successfully changed online) the iPad still wants the new address to be verified. It has been and the next screen even tells me the new id has beenb verified, but the iPad still asks for this again. What a merry-go-round! I have checked the other apps to see if the old id is still signed in, I have quit all apps, I have restarted, I have verified that the id works using other equipment. Now what?

Start with:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo and update.

Why am I having trouble with Internet connect?

I have just set up a broadband connection using a USB modem on my phone line. I have to reconnect each time I wake the computer from Sleep as the Modem gets its power supply through the USB port. Sometimes it takes several attempts to establish a connection. I have checked the configuration (several times). Is the problem most likely to be:
a) With Internet Connect ?
b) With my ISP?
C) With the modem?
G4 ibook Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G4 ibook

My guess, the modem.
It's probably taking some time for the USB modem to power up, perform its startup tests, load its configuration and be ready to respond to the network.
It's one of the reasons I never recommend USB DSL routers.
If the modem supports direct power (vs. being powered by the USB line) you can try using that - at least that way the modem won't power down and need to do its whole startup process again. Either that or replace the USB modem with an ethernet-based one that won't have this problem.

Why am I having trouble with an adobe webfont?

I am using the playball font on quite a few of my pages and it changes sometimes to a different font or it just does not display the content written in that font. Does anyone know why this is doing this?

Hi,
Are you using Chrome? Please see http://muse.adobe.com/exchange-library/chrome-33-webfont-workaround-1
Also note that once Chrome fixes the issue you'll want to remove the suggested workaround and re-publish the site.
Thanks,
