I can see the thumbnail, but the picture isn't there!!!

Hi! I need some help!!!
I have been having issues with my camera on my iPhone 4S. I'll take a picture, it'll show up as a thumbnail, but when it's enlarged, the picture is just blank-white. I thought maybe my app was just acting up, but I uploaded the pictures onto Facebook, and they were still blank! I don't know what's going on!! Please, help!
Also! I just did an update to my OS today... could that have something to do with it?

I am having the same problem, just started
today, I have also just updated to 7.0.4.
It does not do it all the time, but the ones that
have done it have all been when I don't have
a great signal, but that could be a coincidence.
I hope somebody has an idea on this,
One other thing, if I click on edit while looking at
the white empty photo, I can then see it.

I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event and the number of pictures.

Hello,
I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event with the event title, the number of pictures and the pictures itselve as small thumbnails. BUt ounce I want to open the event to see the pictures in full screen the event title annouces 0 pictures and no pictures are visble anymore to mee. I have checked if the pictures are marked as hidden and this is not the case. What's going wrong. All the other events are visible in a normal way.
The albums with the same pictures into them are visible.
Thanks for your help,
Raf

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

I have photos on a cd which I'm trying to open . If I click on them I can see the picture in the preview, but when I double click it doesn't recognise the picture. They are all in .jpg format. Tried copying them but it said some data cannot be read.

Select one and hit the Space bar to view it in QuickLook. Use the forward arrow keys to move from file to file. If the file can't be viewed in the QuickLook mode then the file is damaged and probably can't be copied or moved.
You could try a photo file recovery application like MediaRECOVER which can scan the memory card and tell you what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.

Yes.
Just call your provider and tell them what you want and they will help you get it done properly.

My project in imovie says source unavailable after I moved the events to the backup drive. It is connected and shows up in the events library. I can see the pictures but they won't play without the source. What do I do.

I moved it because I did not have room on my hard drive to import my latest video. I take videos my grandkids basketball games then edit them as projects. I don't have room to move the whole events library back to my hard drive. Can I move part of it at a time.
I filled up my 1 TB back up drive so got a 3TB to move my video projects to. Do I have to move both the i photo videos and the projects to the 3 TB drive together some how. When can I delete them off the hard drive .
I moved all the i photo library to the 3 TB drive and deleted them out of i photo. That is 87 GB which I don't have room for on my hard drive.
I think when I use the export movie to my hard drive it works but will I still be able to edit it later if I want. Is it best to do quick time or i tunes if I use the export feature.

I can see the pictures in Events in iPhoto, but I can't open them. When I right click on an Event it just says Edit, but won't open all the pictures in Events. It used to open, but something is wrong. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Hi Terence,
I got your note and was able to complete the first part, but when I came to Finder, Go To Folder and I typed in both /var/db/receipts/ and /private/var/db/receipts all I get is NOT FOUND message. I tried several times, but no luck.
Please advise.
Thank you.

I can see the pictures in iPhoto but when I try to open a picture I get a grey box with a big !

I can see the pictures in iPhoto but suddenly this morning when I try to open a picture I get a grey box with a big "!" Please help!

You really should run check for updates. It's up to 9.1.3 now.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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 and keywords 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. .

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Whilst the remote app can be used once the Apple TV has been set up, you still need the original remote to set it up first.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand. I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file. I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild. Any Help?! Any Suggestions on how to fix this?! I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database -- if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

I have Adove Reader XI. All my files have a picture as the first page. I used to be able to see the picture for each file. Now all I see is the PDF logo. How can I change this so I can see the pictures instead of the logo?

In iphoto I get the mesage "The volume for [picture] cannot be found" What does this mean? I can see the pictures

iphoto message is "The volume for this photo cannot be found." I can see the pictures but cannot move them?

The "volume" is referring to the picture's location, i.e. hard drive, etc. In any case there is an iPhoto forum where those experts are. Post there.

In LR 4: Error message "The file named X.arw is offline or missing" yet I can see the picture?

I can see the pictures even after restarting the computer, but I cannot do anything with them.
Can I transfer the missing files to something useable? It was oringinally transferred via SDHC card.

The important thing is where are the originals?

HT1386 I cannot get apps I purchased now sitting on my pc onto my iphone. They were there before I upgraded to 6.0.1. I backed them up on my pc and I can see the apps are all there. But after syncing they still don't appear on my phone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Not sure what i did,,, but in i photo my large view of pic is black but you can see the picture is there becuase of the tags - so when i click on the little picture at bottom it use to show up big , now its black

Help i clicked something and now my big wont show up big.. its there but black.. you can see the names that are tagged but no pic.. ive tried view ect but nothing

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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 check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

After I use the "merge to panorama in Photoshop from Lightroom", I get the message "Adobe PSCC has stopped working" message EVEN though I can see the picture is successfully merged. And then the program closes itself! Help!

It's the biggest tease ever haha! I can see the photo beautifully merged but then it forces me to close the program! I have tried this a few times and it's always the same. So annoying. I have never had this problem before until I recently updates to CC from CS6. Any thoughts? Do I just simple reinstall the program?

This panorama consists of at least eight single shots which were (in my opinion) not taken
using a tripod by rotating the viewline about a fixed point. They are more or less somewhat
arbitrary shots.
Merging these requires a kind of optimization which can fail because of numerical problems,
though the intermediate result seems to be convincing. A crash log cannot help.
A remedy would be the manual arrangement of the single shots, varying the degree of
overlapping. That was available in older versions of Photoshop (for me in CS2).
Enlarging your example, we can see some hairlines, like edges of torn paper. What's that?

Iphoto : can see all thumbnails but not full size

I imported about 1000 photos into ipod and I can see the thumbnails just fine. But, when I double click on any thumbnail, all I see is a big white empty box with a ? inside. Please help!

Andy:
Give this a try: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

I can see the thumbnail, but the picture isn't there!!!
