Can't view pictures after update to 08

I recently updated to Ilife 08. After the holidays I downloaded pictures from my digital canon rebel camera as usual. I can see the new pictures as smaller thumbnails but if I increase the size of the thumbnail, they disappear and I get a gray dashed box. If I click the image (when I can see it) I get a black screen with a big gray exclamation point.
All of my photos prior to the update are fine and I can view and edit them as usual. It is just since the update. I worked with an apple tech and saw that the photos were actually there and tried to import them from a copy of my photo library. But I still can't view them all. Does anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails the you may have a damaged database:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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 back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Can't view pictures on Samsung Galaxy Note3 since the new update!!

    i have a samsung galaxy note 3.  Since this latest update, my phone is slower and I can't view pictures in my Gallery.  It takes forever to load and a notification window will appear asking if I want to Wait or iif I want to Close?!  Also, I've deleted a lot of apps and games from my phone thinking this was causing the issue and it's not.  It's still slow and can't view pictures.  I also checked my Storage to be sure and it has 15.74gb available space.  What is the problem?  PLEASE HELP!!!@

        Let's get your phone running in prime condition once again, Ellemme. It's often times beneficial to clear app cache after an update. You may complete this option by heading into Settings > Storage > Cache Data. This may help the device in terms of the speeds that you're receiving.
    I would also suggest running the device in Safe Mode after you clearing the cached data. http://vz.to/1mPm4uw

  • Can not access BIOS after update BIOS

    Can not access BIOS after update X220 BIOS to version 1.19
    Type: 4290-R32
    BIOS: 1.19

    Ask google and try anyway but not work
    - Press ThinkVantage, Press F1, Press Fn+F1
    - Power off, unplug AC, unplug battery, wait 15 miniute, try all again
    - Try to update BIOS again

    That is really weird.
    When you are in Windows, can you test and see if the F1 key is working? If it is working. Shut down the laptop then boot it back up. At the Thinkpad screen, keep spamming the F1 key and see if you are able to boot into BIOS.

    Hi tania184,
    Have you contacted your email provider to make sure there are no problems on their end? If they say their email servers are working properly, check the outgoing and incoming mail servers entries on your iPhone to make sure both are entered correctly. Enter the outgoing mail server even if the account setup indicates that is optional.

  • Iphoto showing the same picture for all my uploaded pictures after update, how do I get my old ones back so I can upload them to websites?

    After updating the new iPhoto software in the middle of December, I haven't been able to view all of my pictures that had been on my computer prior to the new software update, It shows the same photo for every single picture, how do I convert it back or reboot it?
    THANKS!!

    make a temporary backup of the library and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the options for rebuilding the thumbnails .

  • Can't take pictures after 2.0 update

    I did the 2.0 update and have noticed a few minor quirks, but the key thing irking me right now is the inability to take pictures. Scratch that, I can "take" a picture, it simply won't save the pic in my phone (going to the camera roll directly from the camera app shows and empty square for each new pic I've taken since camera was started, but if I quit camera and come back, even the squares are gone).
    Anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?

    Try a Reset and if no change, do a Restore with iTunes.

  • TS3595 Can't view my app updates and many apps aren't working anymore after installing iOS7

    Anyone a suggestion how tonsolve this?

    HI,
    Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
    Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
    On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
    if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
    once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
    there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
    Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
    For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit. 
    when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

  • Can't sync iphone after update

    I recently installed the new iphone update v. 1.1.1 and phone worked fine. It synced, etc. But after installing iphoto 4 on my computer so I can download my pictures off iphone, I plug it in and iphoto access iphone first and does not let itunes sync with it. any ideas before removing iphoto. I would like to be able to download my pictures to my computer. Thanks

    Yes, disable iPhoto from opening, then sync again.
    The setting is in Image Capture, in the general preferences. Set it to "when a camera is connected, open NO applications", if you want to disable iPhoto opening whenever the iPhone (or some other camera device) is attached.
    Then reset your iPhone. Reboot your mac.
    Sync again.

  • Can't view pictures or video'ss

    Hello fellow palmers riddle me this?? I have a treo 750 unlocked smartphone and I am unable to view pictures sent to me aswell as video clips. My provider is T-mobile and they told me there is a firmware issue that can be fixed with updating the ROM? does any body know what the heck there talking about. please help
    Post relates to: Treo 750 (Rogers)

    AT&T had an update that updates the OS to Windows Mobile 6. This update was released for about one year but discontinued. Unsure what update T-Mobile is talking about but this one comes to my mind. Also keep in mind that T-Mobile is doing upgrades to their network and this might be the cause of any disruption you are seeing. Here is a thread talking about another issue that is unrelated to yours but that T-Mobile is upgrading there network.
