IPhoto Not Displaying images in full-size, only thumbnails

I have iPhoto 11.9.4.2 installed in iMac 27" running Mac OS 10.7.5.
Up until last night iPhoto has been great. Last night I added about 100 images to my library which is a pretty typical update for me. The pics all transferred fine. All my exisiting and new images are visible in thumbnail mode, however when I 'click' on any one of my new or existing images so that I can view only that image in iPhoto, the image flashes up for 1 second then disappears. If I use my mouse or arrow keys I can go to the next image which again flashes up temporarily then disappears.
When I adjst the 'zoom' on the lower left portion of the iPhoto window, I can see a very small version of the image I would like to see with a box/rectangle over the area that I assume would be visibile if I zoomed in what would normally be a full-sized image.
Any ideas?

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.

  • HT1553 I restored my hard drive from time machine. Why is iPhoto not displaying images properly?

    I restored my hard drive from time machine after power blinks corrupted the file system so badly that disk utility could not repair it. Since then, iPhoto has not displayed images correctly. Events are there, and blank squares are shown, but that's all. I rebuilt small and all thumbnails and permissions -- I think the top three or four options in the iPhoto rebuild utility, which took five hours to do but which seems not to have changed anything. The iPhoto library is still more than 100GB, so the photos are there. I didn't choose rebuild from backed up --- whatever the final option on the rebuild menu offers -- because that seems to be appropriate only when a backup is interrupted. Could certainly do it, though. How do I get iphoto behaving again? I have full time machine backups saved automatically and another fairly recent copy on a separate hard drive stored remotely. Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide. I've looked at existing questions and solutions without success so far.

    What version of iPhoto and system are your running?  Since you've tried rebuilding with iPhoto give this a try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If you have an external HD you might want to have the rebuilt copy created on it unless you have well more than 100 GB available on your boot drive.

  • HT2638 iPhoto not displaying images at 100%

    I am trying to build a book of wedding photographs for my niece and finding iPhoto 11 crops some of the images - they are not displayed in full in the frames. Is there any way to force the app to show the images at 100%? You can enlarge the image by dragging the slider across, but not decrease the size to show the full image.

    Wow, that easy! I feel such a dork ... Thanks Terence, don't know why I did not think of that!

  • IPhoto not displaying images

    If I open an album in iPhoto, all images are at first shown on screen. But when I scroll down, they disappear, turning into blank boxes. If I click on those boxes, nothing appears. Any ideas? Thank you.

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Apache /localhost not displaying images...

    I use a simple html file for Safari's homepage consisting of some CSS and 2 images -- this used to be placed in 'my' Sites folder.
    I upgraded from SL to Mav so have started Apache and moved my index.html plus images to /library/webserver/documents/ and have Safari's homepage pointed at http://localhost/index.html.
    It's a very simple page and opening the page in Safari works as expected but when using /localhost it doesn't display the images (?)!
    It's a small thing but I'd like to understand why it's not working, if anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You should be able to put it in the WebServer/Documents and run it from localhost.
    I altered the standard index.html in mine, adding one of the "PoweredByMacOSX" logos and it displayed the images. Are your image tags correct? I had thought you could add an image without the size elements, but it didn't work. I had to put the width and height elements in.
    EDIT: I went back and removed the size elements, then tried to open the html document in Safari and the image displayed. So, I went back to localhost and reloaded and the images appeared full size with out the size elements in the img tag.

  • Mail 7.3 (1878.6) not displaying images in random messages.

    In the last couple of weeks, I've noticed that, with no preference changes made by me, that random messages are not displaying images only empty boxes with the small blue question-mark box in the middle. This is almost exclusively from companies and organizations that I'm interested in.
    I've made no changes with regard to messages downloading with my mail in Mail's preferences. If I had, I'd think that ALL such messages would behave the same.

    Nothing happens. Loading remote content is a Mail preference for me for everything. Best I can do is choose to click the "if your having trouble seeing this..." offered by many advertisers to take you to their site.
    Since it's random, I wonder if it's not something that has to do with those specific servers sending those messages. And it's only a few, but enough to be annoying. These are people I've received perfect content from for years in some cases. No changes have been made to my preferences.

  • Mail not displaying images

    Hi...
    I have a strange new problem with Mail. It is not displaying images in email newsletters that I receive, but just from one sender. This has only been the case for a couple of days. I actually make the email newsletter and send it out from a web-based program but I obviously send it to myself to test how it looks etc. There was a problem recently with the server that meant that the email newsletter did not display images (just a box with a ? inside) for most recipients but it always appeared fine to me. Now it's the other way around. All other recipients seem to be able to view the newsletters fine (including other Mac and Mail users) but not me!! I do not have any other problems with Mail except for the occasional crash. Any ideas please??
    Thanks....

    Is this helpful?
    I think so, it indicates to me that they have problems!
    This is why the hosting company say it must be a problem with my mail program only.
    Might be, but even different Macs on the same Network may have or get different DNS numbers, and the question mark means either an unknown Pic type,or the link to where it's stored isn't getting through.
    Might try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    They'll be slower since they're in the US, but interest to see if the Pic shows, or can be opened/downloaded then... you can erase them afterwaeds, or put yors back.

  • Latest flash version will not display images or video

    Latest flash version will not display images or video in 2 x Windows 7 Pro 64bit machines, 1 x Windows 7 Home Premiums, and 1 x XP SP3 under VMWare Workstation 7. Problem plagues Firefox, Chrome, and IE on all systems. Also running Norton Security from Comcast on all machines. Disabling does not appear to help. Suggestions?

    Not sure, this is the one that I really want to view. I am using the latest 11.6 ending in 168. Curious you got the images. The product ones act like they should be displaying for me but don’t. Can you do a capture of the images? The text with small images sometimes comes through and sometimes not. I wonder if there is a problem on the server end.
    When I talk to the Customer Service people they claim to have no reports of problems, but like the sports pro about to be traded, they may be the last ones to know…

    If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
    As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so 
    they are at least two versions old.
    Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many 
    other products on the market which do a much better job of creating 
    and maintaining this type of navigation structure.
    Read this link before you climb any higher on this slippery slope:
    http://apptools.com/rants/jsmenu.php
    There was another blog post by the fellow who originally wrote the pop 
    up menu feature, but I can't seem to locate it. Even he says stay away 
    from them.
    Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it helps, nonetheless.

  • Safari on my account does not display images when you open a picture.

    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed. Safari on my account does not display images most of the time when you open a picture like (www.example.com/example/example.jpg or any other format). If the image does not display, I can drag from the corner, it displays the image. However, pdf does not work at all. I have to choose open in Preview to view the pdf file. I can even show the example:
    Sometimes the images work like right now.
    2. This is the time when the images do not work.

    Hi all the real problem was this...
    The issue was that the wee rubber eye piece around the viewfinder had slipped out of its seat slightly and was covering the sensor for the LCD. I Just checked the rubber eye piece bit  pushed right down till it clipped into place and now not obstructing the LCD sensor as the picture displays both with the LCD auto off enabled or disabled !! simple thing but a massive trap !

  • JSP pages not displaying images in Jdeveloper

    Which JDeveloper version? where are the images stored? can you share the code you are using to show such an image?
    Try this - create a JSP page and drag an image from your desktop onto the JSP page - this will add the image to your project - does this work?
