Case of the missing photos

The problem was this. No photos were available to my other iApps (iMovie, iDVD, etc). Music was fine but not photos. When I loaded iMovie (version 6.01) and clicked Media and then the Photo button the grey message in the window was to load iPhoto to populate the window.
Now, I'd used iMovie before to make movies and slideshows and I know it had worked, even after upgrading to iPhoto 6.
I found many discussion threads online, and one page of help from Apple. Only one solved my problem, but it wasn't the one I was hoping for. I had a fairly large iPhoto database the folder was 25 gigs. and Included photos from as far back as iPhoto 1. Here's the saga.
First I check forum and the first suggestion was to rebuild database (for iPhoto 6 hold Command + Option when starting iPhoto) and I did -- Four times, eventually.
Then I searched for special characters in, not only album names, but photo names (& #/, among others are reserved in the Unix system) I found many with the "&" and changed the file names and checked all albums (there were no characters in the albums).
Still no joy in iMovie.
Then I backed up most of my photos to DVD's (16 gigs worth) and delete half my photos, but still no photos in iMovie.
Finally I tried to create a new iPhoto database by renaming the old one and in iPhoto, chose to create the new one. Then I imported photos and voila...
IT WORKED.
I still don't know what the problem was: size of the database, bad characters. I just don't know. But it's fixed for now.

The latest iPhoto update bringing it to 6.03 did not fix the problem with my "older" database. still can't share it with iMovie, et al.

  • The case of the missing photos: Urghhh!

    So I have been using iPhoto for years with little to no problem. Until Now! I have been importing my photos from my Nikon D40 (often lots) editing them and satisfied. The next time I open iPhoto all the photos are missing! No thumbnails/photos/ no photos I had trashed from the last import in the trash. Since I have sent a bunch to my girlfriend post editing by then I have her send them back and add them to iPhoto. And they are in their under "last import". The next time I open iPhoto they (the "emailed back to me" photos) are once again gone. This has happened to all photos imported since early March when it began? I have done nothing new, changed no preferences, everything is up to date, and I have rebuilt the iPhoto library twice between occurrences. This after much time spent editing children's photos too of which I cannot replace all. Please anyone......Thanks. dennis

    First, do you keep your library in the default location, your User/Pictures folder? If so then try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    Fix #2
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - 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
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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 untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    Fix #3 - Last Ditch Scenario
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    2. Open the library package like this.
    3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

  • Sometimes after creating an event folder on iPhoto, all my pictures in that event will be gone the next time I open iPhoto. Why is this happening? Is there a way to retrieve the missing photos?

    Sometimes after creating an event folder on iPhoto, all my pictures in that event will be gone the next time I open iPhoto. Why is this happening? Is there a way to retrieve the missing photos?
    Most events I make on iphoto will still be there the next time I open iPhoto, while other event FOLDERS will be there, but pictures in it gone.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.  
    Regards

  • I have 162 photos in the cloud but only 153 download to my phone. The missing photos are videos

    I have 162 photos in the cloud only 153 download to my phone. Missing photos are videos. Help!

    iCoud (photo stream) doesn't sync videos, it only syncs (streams) photos.  If you have an iCloud backup, that would include your videos and restoring the backup to your phone should recover them.

  • The Strange Case of the Missing Shared Devices...

    Dear Forum,
    I am currently having intermittent trouble with the connection of shared devices.
    The network consists of a MBP, Qnap TS109 and a Canon printer hooked up via LAN to a WAG200G. The Qnap serves music to a PS3 (WLAN) and the Mac and also serves as a TimeMachine back up device.
    The problem is that every so often I lose my Shared Devices in the Finder side-bar. They just disappear.
    I have managed to reconnect by playing with the Network connections preferences, but as I suspected (due to exhausting the permutations), this solution has come to an end and now I cannot urge them to reappear (unless I restart (which is a solution, but not an entirely satisfactory one)…
    All devices have been set to use static IP address (none conflict).
    The Mac’s settings are as follows:
    TCP/IP-
    Configure IPv4 Manually: then my IP address.
    Subnet and router are both correct as I can connect to the Qnap & WAG admin pages and internet (I’m not sure if that is a correct test of these settings, but the numbers are correct).
    Configure IPv6: Off.
    Under DNS : I have entered both DNS servers as per the instructions of the ISP (I have been with them for years and these are correct).
    WINS- (I don’t know what this is but…)
    NETBIOS Name: the name of my Mac (All uppercase (don’t know why, but looks definitely windows (ish))
    Workgroup: (blank)
    WINS Servers (blank),
    802.1X & Proxies: everything is per the default setting as I have never touched anything in these options.
    Ethernet-
    ID: My Mac MAC
    Configure: Auto
    Speed, Duplex and MTU have never been touched, but I am assuming that Auto covers these.
    Under Network (System Preferences), then Location: Auto, then next to Status: Connected (currently active and correct IP)
    The WAG is the only thing on this mini network that sets DHCP, I could change this to disable as everything has it’s own Static IP, but is there any need?
    (I hope I am getting the terminology correct and not inadvertently creating confusion.)
    The PS3 sees the Twonky server in the Qnap, so I am not sure if that is an issue, it doesn’t appear to be.
    So why the missing devices?
    None of this would actually be a problem if it was not for the fact that once the Qnap disappears from the Finder side-bar, TimeMachine does not back up (yet I can connect via a browser to the Qnap, even if it is not present in the side-bar).
    The problem is I feel as though my thinking is a bit blinkered as I am only concentrating on the Network connection aspect, yet I am afraid I am not entirely sure what else I should be considering. That is to say what is causing the Mac hooked up to a perfectly adequate connection/ functioning network to suddenly cause it to drop the devices, yet retain connection by other means?
    Unfortunately a forum member had exactly the same problem but sadly removed the query from open questions.
    It goes without saying (but there is no harm in me saying it anyway), but any help would be appreciated.

    Bump
    This recently happened to me as well, actually it's happened for awhile, and only recently have begun to try to find the answers. Did you ever find out what happened?
    Also seems like this post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11367180
    But that has no answers posted either. Perhaps a reformat and stick with 10.6.2, which is what I think the last version the "Shared Devices" automatically showed without deliberately mounting a network drive.
    My situation is pretty much the same, "Shared Devices" do not automatically show up on the left sidebar. If I know the IP address or netbios name, I can mount network hard drives: Command + K and smb://ipaddress
    My Computers, I have an iBook G4, which used to automatically pop up; a Windows7 computer that used to automatically show; and an Ubuntu 10.04 computer that would show up as well for screen sharing and smb.
    Possible culprits include: netbios/smb problems, mDNSresponder/Bonjour problems, other networking config. No settings permutations have fixed the problem.

  • The Case of the Missing Image

    Go to this link:
    http://fyiboerne.info/wcid.html
    This page is a very simple HTML page which displays two
    things: a "< GO BACK" link, which is visible and working
    properly, and one jpg image (file name: wcid#2.jpg) which is not
    visible.
    I would love to know what is going on here.
    Both the html page, and the lone image are in place on the
    remote server; however, when I test the page on my testing server
    it comes up blank as it does from the browser when online. I've
    tried pop-up windows, a download to a pdf version of the .jpg....IT
    IS ALWAYS BLANK. Moreover, I have purged the entire site and put it
    back...dumped the html file and completely rebuilt it...tried
    opening the pdf file and jpg file in Photoshop and Acrobat, where
    the image always comes up. In Photoshop, I flattened the layers.
    The image shows up in Dreamweaver, but fails to appear in a
    preview (using Firefox and Safari), and fails to appear on the
    Internet.
    I included the source code for this link in the event anyone
    can see a problem. The first source code appears on the page which
    links to the page in question. The second source code is the code
    from the page with the missing image.
    THANKS!

    Removing the "#" character from the file name fixed the

  • Case of the missing 15GB...

    Hi,
    I have a really strange problem with some missing Hard Disk space.
    I installed boot camp and had a 15GB Windows partition working fine. It all went a bit wrong when I tried to remove the partition.
    I used the boot camp assistant to remove the partition and recover the space but when I rebooted as requested, I got the folder with the flashing question mark boot error.
    It refused to boot at all so I did an archive and install, which worked perfectly except that the 15GB from the boot camp partition is now inaccessible!
    If I 'get info' on the OS X volume in the finder, it shows 96GB capacity. In Disk Utility however, both the physical drive and the OS X partition show 111GB capacity!?
    I've run verify and repair on both the physical disk and the OS X volume, but still no sign of the missing 15GB.
    Apple Phone support suggested that I do a complete wipe clean and re-install, re-partitioning the drive as I do. But I'm loath to go through the polava of getting my system set up a third time.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi tekin, Welcome to Apple Discussions. As advised by support, an erase and install would clear up your problems. I understand your reluctance to go ahead with this, as it isn't a quick process, however, the only easier way is to use a proprietary utility e.g. Disk Warrior to repair your disk.
    Link here .. (http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/).
    Or, as I have done, get a external hard drive and back up - (for next time)!
    Best wishes,
    Robert.

  • The Strange Case of the Missing Network Icon

    Can anyone help my buddy Tom - who is running a G4 iBook with OS X Panther? He is unable to get onto his wireless network and here is the problem in his own words:
    "Had a moment to muck about in the iBook drive, following data crumbs from the all-pervasive Network software. Apparently, all that spinning of the drive over regions containing bits and bytes of the application managed to cobble together enough of Network to launch an e-mail, which I immediately determined had to go to you. This is strictly a spit-and-string enterprise, similar to a baling wire and soup can exhaust system fix, and likely the only e-mail I'll get off until I complete an entire system restore. Think of it as a faulty telephone connection - you can hear me, but I can't hear you. So, don't bother to respond, as your e-mail will probably languish in my Inbox for the time it takes me to resurrect OS X.
    What brought me to this point is my reasoning Network isn't a stand-alone application like a word processor, but rather a "network" (clever, eh?) piece of software with files strewn through other software so they can access various aspects of it. For example, World Book Encyclopedia accomplishes a software update without launching Safari; connecting to its mother ship via but another piece of Network that happens to reside within the program. I guess this approach is what put the "i" in iBook, and it seems to work pretty well...until moments like this. Perhaps Steve Jobs outsourced to Hansel and Gretel to create a new marketing twist.
    Anyway, I've talked this all up with a number of people, and the universal response seems to be; "Huh? I've never heard such a thing.". I even managed to mightily confuse Dave and he's got an awful lot of Mac expertise. But the real kicker, when explaining how I reasoned it all out, is when I mention the key to my understanding was when I noticed the missing Network icon. That's when their eyes glaze over and it's apparent they can't quite wrap their brain around the idea. I've deduced how to cajole the Finder to reveal this Archimedean moment, and included a pair of attachments so you, too, can share in my AHA!! revelation. Running this all past Dave had him agreeing I seem to have a handle on it, but the sheer complexity of all those .exec files squirreled here, there, and everywhere still had him scratching his head.
    Interestingly, I have to coerce the Finder to display the icon example; you can't simply click it into existence. I do it by plugging in a travel drive, opening same, then ejecting it. The Finder then defaults to what you see (the word Network with no icon).
    Speaking of attachments, I was so tempted to wade through all 70 (70!!) e-mails in my inbox, but was fearful my MacGyvered patch would fail before getting this off to you.
    Time to fade back into the black hole from whence I came. When I close Safari it'll relinquish its tenuous grasp on the Network .exec file it's hacked to."
    Any ideas on what's wrong and how it can be fixed? I'll see that they get passed on to Tom.
    G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   iMac

    Before the mid-1980s, networking might have been implemented with a lot of goofy little routines (.exec's if you must) calling one another. About that time the CCITT (an international telecommunications standards committee made up of Academic and Industrial representatives) did a lot of work abstracting and then standardizing the functions that various parts of a network perform.
    The CCITT refined the notion of a Layered Network Architecture and specified the types of activities performed in each layer. Shortly thereafter Apple implemented Open Transport and delivered it into the marketplace in System 7.5.3.
    Apple networking has been very well-behaved and under control since then. It does not tend to "get lost" or "lose track of things". It really is very good. With only a few limitations, you can connect Macs running 7.5.3 through 10.3.9 and have File Sharing work without regard to what versions are talking to each other.

  • S.O.S. - The case of the missing TIme Capsule icon

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to a local network.
    Our Macbook Air, iPad and three iPhones all have WiFi. No problem.
    My Macbook Pro has solid black radiating bars in the main menu. In Airport Utility, it shows the "Internet Globe" with a green circle below. Below that, however all I get is a spinning wheel. At the same time, the Macbook Air shows the icon of the time capsule with a green circle below.
    Is there a setting I am missing? Some said to turn off Mac Access, but I do not know where to do that. In System Preferences, Wi-Fi is green, and it says WiFi is connected.
    I ran all of the maintenance (rebuilt Directory, optimized the drive, weekly/monthly scripts, etc) All of the hardware checks out.
    Has anyone had this happen? Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Paul Kirtley

    This is typical Yosemite.. please confirm OS on Pro and Air.. Yosemite,  has the network ability of a pair of tin cans with wet string. (that dried and snapped).
    The odd thing of course is the MBP is on the internet.. but perhaps just too stupid to figure out the local network.
    So here is the first few things to try.
    1. Factory reset the TC.. sounds odd when it is working already .. but please do the setup with the computer that is having the most trouble.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    2. After a reset it should suddenly show up as new device.. please run the setup utility from the pro.
    Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. eg TCgenx and TCwifi. Base station and wireless names respectively.
    3. Use WPA2 Personal security only. Use pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers password.
    4. If you have issues plug in by ethernet.
    5. Set ipv6 in network preference for wireless and if used, ethernet. to link-local only.
    Tell me how this goes.. if it works in the pro you can then pick it up in the Air etc.

  • Apple employee backup my phone before reloading the software.  When I checked my photos they were gone.  Is there a way to get the missing photos down loaded?

    An Apple emplyee in a Seattle store backed up my phone data before clearing it and reloading the software.  He was trying to resolve a problem that I was having with the phone.  When I checked my photos I discovered that they were all gone.   Also lost a lot of new contacts.  It appears that only older data was restored.  Is there a way to find out if my photos are backed up any were?  As a note, I have had this problemsince I got the phone.  I bought it at Best Buy but they said that they could not fix the problem.  They told me to talk to the phone company.  AT&T looked at the phone and said that it was an Apple problem.  There is no Apple store where I live in southern Oregon so I had to wait until I got to Seattle to try and get it fixed.  Apparently on one owns the problem.  Its my problem to fix.  The next step is to get another phone.  Probably not from Apple.  That is my story and sany info would be appreciated.  Cathy

    Thanks for the reply however this does not help.  When I check the cloud it shows that I have only 20 photos.  In reality I had a lot more than that.  All the photos on the cloud are those that I have taken since I was at the Apple store.  When I check cloud storage usage on my phone it says that I have 5.1 GB of photos.  This is a lot more than the 20 that I can see.  I am not sure what the Apple employee did to my phone.
    Still looking for answers.  It is really too bad that I can not talk to an Apple person to get help since they messed up my phone.

  • Address Book Exporting ... the Case of the Missing Spouse ... ?

    … and missing children and missing birthdays, too.
    I have had problems customizing address labels, which I discussed in detail in a separate message, entitled Wonky Address Labels. In fact, I gave up on using Apple Address Book and decided to export the database, put it in Excel, and do some column merging to get a one-time solution to my label-printing problem for my Christmas cards.
    Yeah, sure I would … when Address Book will not export in anything other than an arcane address book file format.
    So it was back to this forum, to review exporting suggestions. Two seemed to be offered and I tried ‘em both; first, Address Book Exporter at:
    gwenhiver.net/applications/addressbookexporter/index.php
    and second, some special mail scripts at:
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    These were both fun to use and worked pretty well, producing tab-delimited text files. But neither will do a complete export of the database; they won’t export spouse names, anniversary dates, children’s names or spouse/children’s birthdays ( which I had put in an ‘Other Date’ field ) … nor, BTW, will they export custom fields.
    Well, if I can’t print custom labels with Apple Address Book and can’t export the full database, I guess hand-written Christmas card envelopes have a certain panache.
    Or, I suppose I might use my 10-year old Windows software that I run on Virtual PC.
    It would be nice if Apple would fix this Address Book exporting problem. Frankly, I don’t like the idea of having data in a database that I cannot export as a simple text file. In fact, if I had known I could not get my data OUT, I would not have put it IN to start with.
    Any suggestions for exporting ALL the fields of the Apple Address Book database would be welcome.
    DICK

    value = value;Oh, so you have one of those new compilers that reads your mind and knows which value is which in that statement, huh?
    Lucky.
    The rest of us are stuck doing this.value = value;so that the compiler can distinguish the member variable from the method parameter.

  • Outlook Integration - Case of the missing snapshots

    Hey all,
    Here's the issue:
    SBO 2007A PL 35
    The snapshots are being created on the server, and they showing on the SBO server (say
    SBOHOST).
    I created the snapshots for EN(GB), EN(US), and NL.
    For reference, the actual database is on a dedicated SQL server (
    SQL_SERVER)
    All files are there, and permissions are set so that they can be written.
    I went onto the terminal server (
    TERMINAL) that connects through to the main server database (
    SQLSERVER) and to the SAP files B1_SHR on
    SBOHOST
    The templates were missing in the "Define Snapshot Templates"  under EN(GB), EN(US), and NL.
    I checked the paths, and they are fine so there are no permission issues.
    I then installed, from TERMINAL, the Czech snapshots. They work. I can see them under the "Define Snapshot Templates" on TERMINAL
    ...but not on SBOHOST where I can see the others...
    They are sitting right beside each other in the
    SBOHOST\B1_SHR\Addon\Microsoft Outlook Integration\Templates\[DATABASE]\Default
    I can see CS (Czech), NL (Dutch), EN (Enlish) folders.
    I had a look in the [@BOOSTP] and found if I changed the "host name", in a test database of course, from TERMINAL to SBOHOST they appeared on the respective computers snapshot list under the respective language. Hopefully I haven't lost you.
    Any help with this would be good, as so far all the notes on this tell me to re-create the snapshots, which hasn't helped so far.

    I too am having an issue with creating the default snapshots in B1 2007A PL35 (and BTW PL37)....
    I can successfully create the snapshot on the first B1 client on my network, for every machine thereafter I get the following error when creating templates for English (US).... This message is a pain, when you have many machines and users ask why the create snapshot templates window appears each time they log on.
    This is the Error Message:
    Failed to create template 'Executive customer (by Business Partner)'
    My observations regarding the solution are identical but one of the proposed solutions won't work, at least not as is...
    As you said It looks like it cannot create the entries in the @BOOSTP because of the unique constraint on Index [@BOOSTPBOOSTPI1] which does not include the new field.
    [U_Host] ASC cannot be added to the index because it is of type nvarchar(max), see error below:
    *Column 'U_Host' in table 'dbo.@BOOSTP' is of a type that is invalid for use as a key column in an index.*
    The only way to make this work is to change U_HOST it to a nvarchar(100) and then you would be allowed to add the U_Host to the index.  SAP probably needs to make this decidion, I doubt they would support this work around, so temporarily disabling the index appears to be is the way to go....
    Why isn't SAP testing well before release?  This seems like something that should have been caught.
    Thanks,
    Jason Walters

  • ITunes 10 & the case of the missing album art

    i have noticed that iTunes 10 has deleted some of my album artwork. on some albums, it is totally gone. on others, it leaves the album artwork on the first song, but all others are missing.
    is anyone else having this problem? if so, have you found a reason/solution to it?
    thanks,

    have the same problem here... very frustrating. found another board post that someone fixed it on, but they had a mac. not sure why the artwork attached to my files doesn't stay with the files when the new program imports the library.

  • The Case of the Missing Font (e.g. a font called "Sand")

    Afternoon All
    A couple of weeks ago I somehow missed placed a font while I was still using OS X [10.3.9] Panther. I was busy with other issues and just didn’t get back to it untill today. And after I had upgraded my OS to Tiger [10.4.7] this passed weekend.
    Well I’m still missing the same old font - a font called “Sand” The same font that I have built a company logo around - so I sure would like to get hold of a copy of this font. if anyone out would like to download me a copy of “Sand” I would for ever be grateful...
    Thanks
