Missing albums (entire left hand column) in iphoto 6

In the middle of working with photos, the left hand column with the list of albums disappeared. It might have diappeared during a restart. (I can't figure out how to switch from edit mode back to the thumbnails so I restart.) I have re-started again and re-booted the computer. Help is no help. I dont see any preference for having the left column appear/disppear. Any ideas?

Hi Thomas,
Take a look at the screenshot and see if you can place your cursor on the thin black line to get the cursor to change so you can drag the source column divider to the right. There is also a drag bar on the source column to drag it, but it is probably not visible for you.

If that doesn't work then close iPhoto.
navigate to ~/Library/Preferences and drag the com.apple.iPhoto.plist to the desktop. Launch iPhoto and see if the source column is back.

  • Missing left-hand column...

    In iTunes 8.1, at some point I hid the left hand column that has my Library, Videos, iPod and Playlists. Anyone know how to turn this back on?

    Some items in your left-hand column can be double clicked to open a new window, and when that happens, the new window doesn't include that column. A way to avoid this is just single click whatever you want to go to in the left-hand column. That should be all that's required to get to that section of the program.

  • Seeking to restore a selection "desktop" in the left-hand column

    Getting 'help' is consistantly hard. This is another case where Help should be easy to an quick to find under "help" troubleshooting in iPhoto. In order to get to this support community I must first get a new apple password because i most certainly did not forget the current one, having recently been forced to make a new password on these dates 9/18/13 - 11/1/13 - 11/30/13 - 1/27/14 - and again today 2/24/14 each time writing down the new forced password as I did the with the dates as you can see. Leaving open the question What is a password?
    Next seeking help is also needlessly difficult because I cannot cut and paste the question from previous failed attempts to get help instead having to retype each time. The original question I am after is:
    Using iPhoto The selection 'Desktop' went missing from where it has been on the left side column under the title 'Library'. This choice 'desktop' is the item I use the most. Looking under 'Help' I see there is a way to delete but no way to restore or create the selection Desktop which opened a screen showing the current contents of my desktop for further selections.

    Are you referring the the Desktop entry in the left hand pane of a Finder window?
    as there is no Desktop item in the left hand pane of iPhoto and never has been.

  • How can I create a document with two columns in which the text in the left hand column flows to the left column on page 2,3 etc, and doesn't interfere with the text I want to place in the right? Pages 5.

    I'm using pages 5 and want to comment in a right hand column, on a (latin) text which I wish to place in a left hand column.
    Ideally I'd like to be able to copy and paste the latin text and see it flow over into the left hand column on multiple pages.
    At the moment it is impossible for me to keep the text only in the left hand column Any help!?
    B

    Columns do what columns do, flow from the bottom of the left hand column to the top of the right hand next column. So won't do what you want.
    Your tag says you are using OS X 10.5.8 but you say you are using Pages 5 so one or the other is not correct.
    If you migrated up to Pages 5 what did you do with your previous Pages '08 or '09?
    Because Pages 5 is missing over 100 features, one of which is Textbox linking, that would allow to flow down through a series of Textboxes set up like columns.
    What you can do is run the Latin text down a narrow document to the left and add individual Textboxes to the right and put your English translations in those. The Latin will flow but the English will not.

  • Missing Playlists on Left Hand Menu

    I recently upgraded to version 9 and found out that only 10 of 40 my playlists appear on the left hand column. Yet when I view the list on the right hand side, all the music is there.
    How can I get the rest of the playlists to re-appear on the left hand side?
    I'm using Windows XP on a desktop. Thanks.

    The triangle next to the main Playlists folder is pointing down.
    I set up a subfolder for a few streaming radio stations. The missing (and non-missing) playlists have not been put into a subfolder. They are all smart playlists (I don't know if that makes a difference).
    I have the latest Itunes. Should I try re-installing?

  • Using letter templates: how to make left hand column with logo/info repeat?

    Hi all,
    If you use one of the templates in Pages that has a column down the left-hand side of the page where you can put your company logo and information (e.g. the Modern Photographer Letter), I've noticed that when I do replace it with my info on the first page, if my letter runs over a page, the logo and info on the left-hand column for subsequent pages reverts to the template default.
    Am I missing a step here?
    How can I "set" it so that my own logo and info repeats on every page?
    Thanks!

  • Devices does not show up in left-hand column

    Ipod nano is connected to USB port and has fully charged. "Devices" doesn't show up in left-hand column.  Library, Store, Genius, and Playlists are listed.  Looked on public forums, but no viable solution displayed.  I welcome suggestions.  Nano was not recognized when used an older cable.  2nd cable worked.
    I think it could be my PC's problem.  It doesn't list the nano in control panel.
    I reset the nano, to no avail. 
    Thanks.Greg

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unless you have any devices it won't show up. The Apple TV is not a device that shows up in the devices list in iTunes, that was the Apple TV 1.

    Hi lindaasw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed?  I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything.  If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:

  • My ipod is not showing up in the left hand column on itunes. I have tried the trouble shooting methods but nothing is working. My ipod nano also will not play.

    My ipod nano is not showing up in the left hand column of itunes. It says connected on the ipod and I can find it in my computer but its not there on itunes. I need it as I want to restore it to factory settings. I have tried the troubleshooting methods that are on the Apple website but no luck.
    Also my ipod is not playing. I found a way to upload all my music to my new computer. I followed a guide given to me on wiki and it worked. However, since then I cannot get the ipod to play. The menu is there, it turns on, all the playlists are visable but when I press play it does nothing or flicks briefly on to the page to play but then flicks back to the list again. I have tried all the troubleshooting on the Apple website but again nothing. I wanted to restore it to factory settings but to do this you have to be able to access the ipod in the left column on itunes which obviously I can't do. That was happening before the ipod stopped working. The two issues are separate.
    Thanks and hope you can help me.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • When I try to sync my apps to itunes nothing appears in the left hand column and i can't sync or remove them...why?

    When I try to sync my apps to itunes a pop up appears that says itunes will no longer sync apps to my ipod. Then it gives me an option to either keep my apps or remove them. No matter what i press nothing happens either way. None of my apps ever appear in the left-hand column either. Why is that ?

    What about the answer to my other question:
    Is this the computer you synced with last time?

  • HT1386 I just got an iphone 4 and when I go to sync it, it appears in the left hand column but when I click on it there is just a blank screen with the apply logo and a tiny lock.

    I just got an iphone 4 and when I go to sync it, it appears in the left hand column but when I click on it there is just a blank screen with the apply logo and a tiny lock.

    OK, I think I fixed it.
    After trying to restore with an old backup from the phone (it estimated it would take 4 hours) I cancelled and went through the setup menus again, but set it up as a new phone. It then appeared in iTunes and I restored it from the computer, not the phone. It appears to be working, it's syncing my old apps right now.
    Summary:
    1. Reset settings on phone (hopefully you backed up fairly recently)
    2. Set up as NEW iPhone in setup menu on phone
    3. Restore from iTunes on computer when it recognizes the phone
    4. Cross fingers

  • Search Tab Goes Missing from the Left-hand Menu

    Hi, I am using Spotify version 3.1.0.1117 in my trusty Toshiba Thrive (AT100) that runs Android version 4.0.4. I think it has just updated to the latest Spotify version and I notice that after initialising, the Search tab would go missing from the left-hand menu after browsing my playlists and not come back. The tab lists would start from Browse, and so on. Anybody else having similar problem? Any help is kindly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Fixed-width left-hand column in Muse

    I'm trying to create a web page that has a fixed-width left-hand column (say 300 px) and an adjustable content area to the right that changes according to the size of the browser window. Is this possible in Muse?

    In your "Site Properties" Layout panel you can set this up by adjusting the padding section.
    Turn off the Centre Horizontal button, add pixels to the Left input sector. (see image)

  • Missing numbers on left hand side, which allow me to move songs around

    This has happened before and i was able to fix it but it's been so long that i've forgotten and i decided this might be quicker than trying to figure it out myself, since it took forever the last time, lol
    When i'm looking at music that is sitting under the "Purchased" icon under the "Store" heading...the left hand side column have numbers in it which allow me to move the songs around in any order i want them. I had them set up under my main library under iTunes 6 but when i updated to 7 i lost them all and now i can't drag and drop the songs into the order i want to hear them if i'm hitting play on the first song and listening in the order i put them for however long i choose to listen.
    Now i've got my ipod playing 14 hours a day at work and i want to listen to my music in the order i want. However, when i'm looking at my music under my ipod within itunes, i don't have the numbers on the left hand which allow me to move the music around to my liking. What i now have on my ipod are songs done alphabetically per song name which is NOT what i want.
    When the numbers disappeared from the left hand column, i lost the ability to drag my songs around.
    Help Please, anyone!
    PC   Windows XP  

    nm, i figured it out for myself. Let me just say that having to make a playlist when the music you listen to is all right there on your ipod is about ********!! WHY would you have to make a playlist with the SAME music that is in your main music file just so you can move the music around?!?!?! Completely Stupid!
