Photo Problems

I'm having photo issues, and who wants to read a blog with no photos? They're there when I open iPhoto, but not when I try to choose one for the blog; there's just a black square where the photo 'Event' should be.

Nor do I know how to diagnose the problem. I trust that when I get a little time, I can figure it out myself, cause you know how these things can be -- blogspot may offer no help, and Apple may say it's a blogspot problem and they can't help. You get caught in the middle.

So wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed!

sorry you are having problems..and I can probably be no help at all since I don't use iPhoto or Mac...hope it gets sorted out...

have you tried rebooting? sometimes that fixes issues...

Imagination sometimes is better than photography,so all is not lost.

Well that's a darn thing! Speaking personally I don't enjoy computer problems - at all. Who does actually? Better choice of words we could use there, miss. *karendianne! But I think you have much delight to share, much of interest and words have painted the picture for us over the Centuries so naturally I'm all for putting the PRESSURE ON! YOU! More. Yes. Let's do that. A little more pressure. Some writing. Without pictures.

...naturally I just get to sit here and enjoy the output, I don't actually have to do the work. But I have had a few lovely chats with you and I do believe you can paint with words.

Victory! Warmly and in jest, *karendianne.

Just read you post. I'm a MAC, too. Once you plug your camera in to upload the photo into iPhoto you should see a button that says import all. Click that. Then you should get an option that asks if you want to delete the photos on the camera. Once they have imported, you can click on each photo to edit it--crop, straighten, etc. Once you click done, you can drag the photo onto the desktop, click on it there where it will open in preview. then do file, save as and I usually make the photo a little smaller with the sliding scale that opens up, name it and you should be ready to upload them onto your blog program. Please forgive me if this is stuff you already know and have tried.
All the best,
Dana

Thanks so much, Dana, for taking the time to write me. What you describe is exactly how I've uploaded photos from iPhoto to blogspot until this problem began right before Christmas. It's apparent that something has changed between uploading them from my camera to iPhoto -- no problem -- and uploading them from iPhoto to my blog, which is when I get a bunch of snow-white 'pages' where the picture should be. Even the photo title and description have disappeared. I have been so busy I haven't had time to call Apple Care, and I don't see any big windows of time opening up anytime soon! I always figure I'd better have at least two free hours when I call computer tech support . . .
