Help, iphoto 4.0.3 doesn't see my pictures

I want to give someone my old G4 and I deleted something inadvertently trying to free up hard drive space. Now my iPhoto 4.0.3 doesn't work. Tekserve in NYC sold me iLife 09 to replace it, but that doesn't run on OSX 10.4.11. I tried to download iphoto 4.0.3, but am told that no versions of the program exist on my computer. When I click on iphoto and try to import pictures from my user/pictures folders, I can see the photos, but iPhoto doesn't recognize them. Any suggestions how to fix this? Or how to proceed? I'll buy another version if I can find one that will work on 10.4.11—if that's what it takes. Thanks.

Now my iPhoto 4.0.3 doesn't work.
What does not work?

you cna not import photos form the iphoto library into the iPhoto library
It sounds like your iPhoto program runs fine - is that tcorrect?
But you do not show any photos in your iPhoto library using iPhoto (do not use the finder to go into our iPhoto library) - is that what you are seeing (or not seeing as the case may be)?

I have prepared an 82 page book on iPhoto, ready to buy. There is a message over about half the photos saying "drag photo to place in background" as if it doesn't see the photo already there. I have spent over 20 hours getting to this point and can't bear to start over! Its a Mac 08X 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08 7.1.5. I have made other iBooks on this software and computer with no problems. Help please!

Look for a page that has a similar layout:
The one photo per page layout is the easiest to miss. Just click on a background color to remove the problem.

Iphoto on macbook pro doesn't see photos on iphone--how to move them off??

Hi,
I have an iphone 5S (updated to latest version of iOS) and a new macbook pro (retina), also updated. I have plugged my phone into iphoto (version 9.6) and it says all pictures are downloaded but there are over 1000 photos on my phone and 140 videos, too. How am i to bring these into iphoto if iphoto doesn't even see them???
Thanks,
A.

It should look like this:
But if you are seeing cloud icon beside the device name, you cannot delete the photos from your iPhone using your Mac. The delete button will be missing.
As to the number of photos and videos you are seeing on your iPhone.
In which albums do the photos and videos appear in the Photos.app on your iPhone?

Iphoto 9.4.2 doesn't see photos on camera

There are six photos on my card, but iPhoto tells me there are none. It previously said there were 27 others that I had deleted. I have tried accessing the photos with my cable and with a card reader.

Can you see the image files on the card in the Finder when using a card reader? If so upload to a folder on the Desktop and then reformat the card in the camera. Then try again.

Aperture doesn't see all Pictures for import

I am having problems with Aperture finding photo files for importing. I set the family tree (having tried various routes) for viewing various folders and the images that I know are in the folder, just dont appear!

Have you tried to toggle between folders in the Aperture Import panel? I noticed, that it takes some time for the image files to appear in the Import window. And Aperture does not seem to refresh the Import Browser window, when you move files around.
So try the following:
Close the "Import" panel in Aperture.
In the Library Inspector panel make sure, you have a library item selected, that you can import to, not the Trash or something, otherwise the Import window might appear to be empty in AP 3.4.
Check again the settings.
Then select the folder you want to import from in the Import panel. Wait a moment for the images to appear. If the do not appear, switch to a different folder and then back.
If that still will not show your photos, switch between different "File Types" settings.
If none of this helps, check, if Aperture will see the Desktop or Pictures folder, if you are importing into a different Aperture library.
If even a new library does not help, it may be a problem of corrupted Preferences. Then you probably have a problem with corrupted user preferences.
Remove the Preferences: Remove the Aperture's user preferences from the User Library as described here:
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Note:Your User Library is hidden by default in MacOS X 10.7.x or later - to open it in a Finder window use the "Go" menu from the Finder's main menu bar.
Quit Aperture, if it is running. Log off and on again.
Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
From the "Preferences" folder remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
Then try to launch Aperture again.
But deleting the "Preferences" file will cause Aperture to forget the preferences settings. Be prepared to have to reset all options you set using the Aperture Preferences panel.

HT1452 How to repair IPHOTO. My IPHOTO is dark, it doesn't download any pictures.

How can i repair my IPhoto. Its dark. it doesn't download any photos

If you are using Time Machine or Spotlight is indexing, turn both off first. Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Time Machine and Spotlight control both. To turn off Spotlight, drag the drive used for Time Machine if you are using it.
Try to locate the largest iPhoto Library folder in terms of size with Find Any File. Make note of the path, and quit and reopen iPhoto holding the command and option keys. It will ask you to locate your iPhoto library, which is the xml file inside the folder you had located. Navigate there and let it rebuild. Note, if you are using Time Machine and the only larger folder is on Time Machine, recover it first to your main drive, and then map iPhoto to the location on the main drive.
Note: No MacBook Air can run 10.0.x, and you posted to the 10.6 forum. Please edit your profile with what you actually are running.

Appletv doesn't see Photos app library, why?

After updating to the new Photos app from iPhoto my apple tv doesn't see my computer's photo library. iTunes doesn't see it either to choose which folders to share for home sharing.
Is this a drawback to the new Photos app?
Thanks

iTunes is up to date, I don't even see the Photos library in the pull down on the home sharing prompt. Is it because my photos library is on an external drive? iPhoto had no problem seeing this. Do I have to go back to iPhoto or will Apple week this?

IPhoto doesn't see photos in the library

Hope someone can help. The external hard drive holding my iPhoto library accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto. Now, iPhoto does not see any photos in it, even though that library shows up as a choice when I reconnect it. Finder shows there are hundreds of gigabytes of data in the file, so I know the photos are there (I hope). But every time I try to switch to that library, it doesn't show up in the left column like it used to, and iPhoto gives me the message -- to get started, connect a camera or import photos. How do I get iPhoto to see the pictures/files again?? I'm on iPhoto 9.6 with OS X Yosemite on a macbook pro. Thank you!!

Backup your iPhoto library and depress and hold the option and command keys and double click on the library on the EHD - keep the keys down until the first sid window comes up - rebuild your database

IPhoto doesn't see photos from my iPhone

This problem just started happening a few weeks ago --
First, the hardware --
An older MacMini that is NOT upgraded to Lion because it is single core (and hence is not connected to iCloud)
iPhoto '11, version 9.2.1
iPhone 4S with OS5.01
Now, the problem --
iPhoto is not recognizing any new photos I take. The photos are on the phone in the camera roll and are uploading to photostream but that does me no good since I don't have iCloud on my computer (because I don't have Lion). And iPhoto is recognizing that my iPhone is connected via USB -- it just says there are no photos (new or old) on it. Image capture is the same -- sees the device but doesn't see the photos.
When did this start? I'm not sure -- either (a) when I upgraded from my 3GS, which was running OS5, to the 4S OR (b) when I upgraded the 4S to 5.01.
In any event, I really want to get my photos from my phone to iPhoto -- after all, one of the selling points of the 4S was how great the camera is. Well, if I can't download the photos to my computer, what good is it?
Help anyone?

Computer sees the iphone, it just doesn't see the photos. This happened once before and I spent more than an hour with tech support fixing it - a real pain..... I'm hoping there is a quicker fix.

Iphoto & Image Capture doesn't see Iphone, Itunes Does?

Iphoto & Image Capture doesn't see Iphone, Itunes Does.

Thank you

It's generally recommended not to use a USB hub with the iPhone. I've used one with no problems but many have reported solving sync problems just by eliminating the hub and plugging directly into a USB2.0 port.
I'm sure.
The trouble is that there are too many bits of hardware that are recommended not to use a hub with. I have a PhoneValet (which won't work at all with a hub) and a set of first generation Harman-Kardon speakers (ditto). Then I need a USB port to plug the hub itself into, and that's my three USB ports used up.

IPhoto doesn't see my photos

I was in middle of editing newly loaded photos, when the computer locked up. I had to shut it off to regain control. Since then iPhoto opens but doesn't see any photos in my libraries. Photos are still there, I can see them in finder and preview, but iPhoto shows zero photos. I have tried renaming library , creating new library, and opening different libraries, but iPhoto doesn't see photos in any of them. Any thoughts on how I can get back to my photos? I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11, and iPhoto 2.0.1.

Have a look at this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2042
It has details on how to rebuild iPhoto Libraries prior to v6 - including v4 and v2.
Of course, the best solution to your issues is to simply restore from your back up.

Help! Acrobat XI Pro for MAC doesn't see my HP 4780 scanner.

I know the scanner part of my HP C4780 works, both with Windows Acrobat 9 Pro and with all the other scanning functions on the Macbook Pro.
I don't know what to do. This is one of the major functions I use Acrobat for, and now I can't get it to work.
Help!

Hi Barbara - I reinstalled PSE 11 on my iMac and verified that it still works with the Canon 8800F scanner. I also installed PSE 12 on my Macbook Air, moved the Twain plug into the right spot, and found that it doesn't see the scanner either. Preview on the Macbook does see the scanner OK so it's not a connection problem there either.
I noticed that the Twain plugins in PSE 11 and 12 are the same version but different sizes. The get info windows for the two versions of PSE on the iMac (Kahawalu) and the PSE 12 on the Airbook (Niumalu) are below. Would you be able to let me know the PSE 12 Twain file version and file size that is working with your Canon scanner? It might help narrow this thing down.
Thanks again for your assistance! William

Help, can't see older pictures in iPhoto

In my iPhoto library on the most recent events and pictures can be seen. By recent I mean mid 2010 onwards. The ones I can't see date back to 1999. These have blank thumbnails and when I click on an image - nothing.
Information like event name and date and the number of pictures inside is still intact as as the name of all my albums. The preview at the bottom of the screen shows the photos but after rebuild can still see older events but everything is blank now.
I noticed the icon beside iPhoto library is just a plain white file and not the iPhoto icon. After hitting "show package contents" I also notice the icon on the AlbumXML is also plain white file icon.
I tried iPhoto rebuild - nothing.
I tried BatcMod - nothing
I tried iPhoto Library Manager - rebuilt the photos and events I can already see.
Can I go back in Time Machine and pick an earlier version of my library - if so how do I do it?
I have more than 19000 pictures and am praying I haven't lost them.
I recently upgraded to Lion and am not sure if this is the reason.
Can anyone help me PLEASE??

Hi Terence - thanks for your reply.
So what exactly am I looking for in Time Machine and how do I restore it?
Is it my iPhoto library?
Appreciate any help you can give me.

i got a backup for the files but even if they are on the mmc, when camera is connected fcpx doesn't see them. if i try to import a new shoot it works!!

Thx a lot Salty. As you suggest I found other staff on support pages. I deleted AVCHD structure and kept only .mts... Now what I need to do is to convert those files with handbrake or similar tool in .mp4 or .mov to make them digest to FCPX.
