HT1338 Why is iPhoto not showing my pictures?

It just shows grey boxes. I already tried checking for software updates and it says there are no new ones

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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

  • Iphoto not showing some pictures?

    Hello. I have a slight problem. Some photos in iphoto will not show up. They are like a grey box with a "!" in them. I just rebuilt the thumbnails and they're still not there. Now I'm doing the longer rebuild. I did save the pictures to a dvd just incase (but this was while the pictures were still gone, so those pics are not saved) But I did not save my videos I have. Is rebuilding something else going to get those pictures back? And if so would I loose anything on my library. (Most importantly, my videos.) Thanks for the help in advance!

    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 command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.

  • HT1338 Why is iPhoto not letting me update (with the account I bought with)?

    I have just had my Hard Disk replaced at the Apple store and have restored from my time machine. The software updater is telling me there is an update available for iPhoto. However when I try to update, it tells me that I must update using the account I purchased the software with. Fair enough, except I am using the same account and it still won't let me. Thank you in advance for your time.

    Sign out of the App Store (Store > Sign Out) if you're signed in, then sign in with the correct ID. Is iPhoto listed as one of your purchases?

  • When i go into finder   click on pictures why dose it not show all photos just lets me open iphoto

    when i go into finder   click on pictures why dose it not show all photos just lets me open iphoto 

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

    Hello deniz aya,
    Welcome to Apple discussions..
    No, you do not need additional software to view the pic, myspace is just not very mac friendly, as they say ( long time coming) they are working on it.
    Myspace pages can be a nightmare, a couple of my friends pages for instance
    have been known to crash my Safari beta & when on version S 2.
    Try using Firefox as well, the "other" browser they recommend other then Safari
    for Mac users, albeit they do not say which version of Safari to use.
    Check pages including the one you have an issue viewing the pics on with the http://validator.w3.org/ to get an idea of how poorly coded they are.
    Eme '~[ ) 
    I just checked my page which has not half the items that other pages use & it Failed validation, 91 Errors, one of my friends pages failed with 490 odd........
    Of course I presume you have flash, as mentioned by QuickTimeKirk.
    To check, in Safari under the Help menu, click on -> Installed plug-ins.
    and check for Flash player.
    Under Safari menu, Safari's preferences, Security tab- Web Content: you have Enable Plug-ins checked correct?

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

  • I backed up by phone and now icloud is not showing my pictures over 1400 of them help

    I backed my phone up and now icloud is not showing my pictures over 1400 of them. help?

    Why do you believe this is true?
    If you had PhotoStream turned on and your photos were syncing to it, PhotoStream holds the last 30 days worth of photos (up to 1000 photos maximum) in the cloud and they should sync back to the phone. Any photos taken more than 30 days ago and any photos greater than the 1000 photo capacity of PhotoStream, will have already been purged from the cloud and are no longer available for download.
    IF you had photostream turned on, it stands to reason that you probably also had iCloud backups turned on, in which case you should be able to wipe the phone (settings>General>Resets>Erase all content and Settings) and restore it from your most recent iCloud backup.

  • Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

    Hi peeps.
    why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder,  select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files??? 
    all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto??  conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here?  Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.  So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
      help please.

    We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
    Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.

    The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
    means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
    You could just move the whole Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • In Icloud I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

    In Icloud on my imac I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

    You have to do it app wise, which means that the icon won't show up in settings, but you will be able to move files from your local drive to iCloud via the Numbers app (move... > choose the iCloud option).
    It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices and that you have the latest version of Numbers on all your devices as well.

  • My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band.  How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

    My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band.  How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

    Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
    If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

  • Why can I not put a picture from camera roll into an album?

    Why can I not put a picture from my camera roll into an album now? When I try these are greyed out. I created these albums on my ipad too but ever since I updated to IOS 7 this can't be done, it was so easy before.

    I can now answer my own question as I've worked it out. For those who are interested click on Shared Streams then on album you require photo to be in then click on the empty box with a cross in the centre and choose photo you wish to add.
