Why won't my D300 Raw pictures work properly in iPhoto 7 ?!?!?!?

I am getting extremely frustrated with my Mac & iPhoto. Just got a Nikon D300 and was trying to upload my first shots in Tiger. No dice, Tiger doesn't support the D300 Raw format.
OK, so I upgrade to Leopard. Nope, iPhoto 6 doesn't support the D300 Raw files either. I've been using iPhoto to organize and do light edits on my D40 shots, and everything was fine. So, I upgrade to iLife '08 and iPhoto 7 and now something is really screwed.
The pictures seem to download fine off the camera but when I try to edit them or view them full screen I get. . .nothing. A blank screen. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm at my wits end. Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that doesn't help:
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts), create a new library there, import a few pics and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro Apps work properly?

    I've brought a brand new MacBook Pro Mid-2012, its only 8 months old and already I'm having problems. FaceTime won't open at all, it just bounces a few times and that's it, the App store opens, but doesn't load anything; and whenever I click on a tab (like the updates or categories) it becomes unresponsive for hours. I've tried verifying my disk on Disk Utility and theres nothing wrong with it, it say's its perfectly fine. I'm appauled that I've spent so much money on a so called "premium" product expecting quality and all I got is problems within the first year! Can anyone help me please? I really don't know what to do:(:(

    JoooshxD,
    you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still exhibit the same behaviors?

  • Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up.  Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

  • Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3

    As said in the title Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3. I have tried everything (uninstalling AIR, reinsalling it etc) I can think of but nothing makes it work. This image shows what I get in return every time I try to install the app. My PC meets all requirements to run Adobe AIR. Why is this occuring? I have the current version of AIR.  

    Hi oxide9999999999,
    For the moment, you have to install the version of AIR linked from their site: http://www.avatarmovie.com/desktop/index.html
    Hope this helps,

    Not strictly true - though I know what you mean.

  • HT4145 why won't my old airport express work?

    why won't my old airport express work?

    Not sure what you mean by "won't work".
    Won't turn on at all?
    Won't allow configuration changes?
    What are you trying to do with the AirPort Express?
    If you could provide the Model No of the old Express.....look on the side of the Express for this.....it will be something like "A x x x x"
    and
    If you could provide the version of AirPort Utility that you are using.....open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility to locate the version number
    We can probably help

  • Why won't my jewel case inserts print properly?

    Why won't my jewel case inserts print properly?

    That's exactly what's happening with me as well. Evidently a recent iTunes update caused the problem, which is with version 11.0.2.26. Since I asked my question I found a thread on the same topic that is six pages and started last December. Apparently Apple became aware of the problem initially, sent an update that fixed it, then updated again recently without the fix. Maybe they'll get around to fixing it again soon. Check out this thread. One guy posted a picture of exactly what we're talking about:

  • Why won't my iPad connection kit work, Why won't my iPad connection kit work

    My iPad connection kit won't work properly, the SD card part isn't working at all...... I plug it into my iPad all it says is "Cannot Use Device: The connected USB device requires too much power." I have tried putting the SD card into my MacBook and tried reading it by DCIM, tried reading it again with out the case on. But it still doesn't work, can someone please help me???

    Try resetting your iPad. HOld down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    Beyond that, what kind of card are you using? As in 32 gig SDHC or 64 gig SDXC or whatever.
    If you're using an XC card that could be the issue because the CCK doesn't read XC cards.
