Photos app not displaying all files

I recently advised an elderly lady to replace her XP laptop with a iPad Air (only!). I helped her transfer mail etcetera and also her collection of photos (simple .jpg's). All went well, I imported her pictures successfully and we were able to brose her life from 2008 to now in the standard Photos app.
Since recently, the photos app experienced some crashes. And now we found out that the app display only photos from November 2012 and more recent.
At first I was concerned that the files had disappeared, but they have not. The older files are still selectable in the Facebook app, including all the collections by date etc.. It would appear that the Photos app database is somehow corrupted.
How would I help her out? My main concern is that she does not have a proper backup (yet). The storage space required for her files exceeded the iCloud maximum, so I could not set that up as backup (all other items are on iCloud though). Nor does she have an external computer. I am afraid that a reset will clear the iPad and thus delete all pictures.

I have no idea if this will work, but it is my basic starting point suggestion. She will not lose any data if she does this and it may help the crashes if nothing else.
Close all apps, and reset the iPad. This reset simply resets the iPad system. It is very much like rebooting your computer.
In order to close apps in iOS 5 or iOS 6, first tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Finder not displaying all files in remote directory

    Sorry, this is a repost as I have gotten no response from my original request here: Finder not displaying all files in remote directory
    I've exported pictures from iPhoto on my iMac to a shared directory on my mac mini. When I access that directory from my iMac, I can see some but not all of the pictures. I know the pictures exported properly because I can see them all from the mac mini. I can open up a terminal window on my iMac and see all of the files; I can also open those files from the terminal.
    I'm running OSX 10.9.4 on both computers, with the mac mini also running OSX Server. I've placed a screen grab below from my iMac of what Finder sees vs what I can see from the terminal.
    Why isn't Finder displaying all of my files?

    thanks for responding
    Adding a new file to the shared folder results in me being able to see the new file from my clients regardless of where it was added from, however the "hidden" files do not suddenly pop up.
    I tried a few more experiments that had interesting results, but still didn't lead me to an answer.
    First I tried copying the files from the remote directory to a local directory; I did this in 2 different ways and had different results. Method A) I copied files from the mounted share to a local dir: "cp /Volumes/MyShare/dir/*.JPG .". Method B) I copied the files using secure copy: "scp user@server:/path/to/dir/*.JPG .".
    Method A resulted in Finder not being able to see the files in the local directory, while Method B did. This was interesting and lead me to suspect an issue with the way I am sharing the directory on the server. From Server settings I have both afp and smb checked. I tried enabling only one or the other and reconnecting; but this did not fix the problem.
    Next I tried exporting the photos from iPhoto again. Exporting them locally results in files that Finder can see. Exporting them to my server results the same bad behavior
    Getting desperate, I also tried renaming all of the files from "*.JPG" to "*.jpg" but this didn't help.
    One last experiment, I see the same behavior from both another Mac and a PC on my local network... FTP works fine.
    Any more ideas?

  • Photos App Not Displaying Small Images, Is There a Workaround?

    I have an iPhoto album of icons (25x25 and 32x32 images) which I use in mock-up applications on my iPad (such as Blueprint and iMockups). The images display fine in iPhoto on the computer but when I sync them to my iPad, the Photos app shows them all as grey rectangles. An example of the images are those from the Glyphish icon set (http://glyphish.com/). Because these images do not show up correctly in the Photos App, they are also unusable in the mock-up apps.
    Does anyone have any solutions for getting these to display properly in Photos? I suppose I could scale them up but that will cause them to get pixelated when the mock-up apps scale them back down again.

    I finally found a solution for my problem concerning the disappearance of iTunes in the browser settings.
    I changed the Safari settings to "allow third parties". Now everything works fine.
    Why Apple treats its own services as a third party still remains a mystery. In the bargain should a SW update not initially alter the settings of the users preferences without further information.
    Cheers,
    Georg

  • Preview App not displaying all pages

    I am finding under Mavericks Preview App is not displaying all pages of some pdf's. 
    If you turn on thumbnails you can see and select all the pages but it's not possible to scroll down through all the pages.  Weird and annoying...

    First, before you do anything else at all, make a copy of your file as a backup. You said "Book" but I'm thinking you mean in one file, not a combined file InDesign Book (.indb) project.
    Now you need to test to see if this is a program problem or a file problem.
    Are the pages still there? Can you choose them from the navigation box in the lower left corner of the document window?
    Is this happening with any other documents? If you export this file to .inx (Interchange format) then open that, do the pages display properly?
    If it's happening in other docs, or if .inx doesn't solve the problem, look at how to replace your application preferences here: Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences

  • DWMX Not Displaying All Files

    Hello folks. This is my last attempt to locate a solution for
    why my DWMX is not displaying all my files in my local or remote
    folder. I have a new client who has put us in charge of moving
    their site to a new server. When I create a new site in DWMX, it
    allows me to download and upload just fine, ALL of the site.
    Problem is, DWMX will only display a certain number of files in
    both the local and remote views. In my windows explorer, it shows
    all the files, on the new server it shows all the files, but DWMX
    will not. The folder in question is the dumping ground for all
    their self-managed content images for their site. So it is hard to
    split these up into multiple folders and expect the code to work
    properly.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, is there a
    solution to this problem with DWMX?
    Thank you.

    Are you using DMX6.0 or DMX6.1? If the former, please update
    to the latter
    at your earliest opportunity - use the updater on the Adobe
    site, please.

  • Podcast app not displaying all synced files

    One of my feeds is displaying only one file, even if multiple files are synced. I'm trying to play "This American Life," where I have downloaded the files manually and I import them into iTunes and convert them to a Podcast type. Then, I sync them to my iPhone 4.
    What's happening is that I'll have one file displayed, e.g., "511" but none other. In iTunes, however, I have synced many files: 511, 510, 509, and so on. However, they are not displayed in the podcast app. However, when I search for the files in ios, they appear searchable, but clicking on them only opens the podcast app to This American Life where there is only one file displayed.
    So far I've resynced podcasts many, many times. I've uninstalled the app from both the iPhone and iTunes, selected "Do not sync podcasts" and then reinstalled everything and attempted to only sync one file at a time. I've restarted my phone multiple times and I've updated to 7.0.4, all of which have no effect.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    FYI, there's another thread going on this issue:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/23501372#23501372
    No final solutions have been discovered yet by the end users.  Lotsa frustration out there!

  • All My Files not displaying all file types

    So, as above, in Finder using the default display by file type, the only results I see are for Spreadsheets, Developer and Documents.
    No seperate lists for PDFs, Images or any other file type.
    Looked in preferences but can't seem to see any place where this might be enabled.
    Glum...

    Here's another data point:  I found some PDFs under my Documents folder that weren't showing up in AMF.  I found that simply opening one up in Acrobat Reader would cause it to show up in AMF (I didn't have to change and re-save the PDF). 
    I did notice that if I selected multiple PDFs at once and opened them all at the same time, some of them would then appear in AMF, while others wouldn't.  But opening up a single PDF by itself would always add it to the files shown in AMF (as long as the PDF was somewhere under my User folder - if I first copied the PDF to a second hard drive that's not under my User folder and *then* opened it, it still wouldn't show up in AMF.)
    In short, here's what I've discovered so far:
    1)  AMF doesn't seem to index anything that's not somewhere under my User folder.
    2)  Not everything under my User folder shows up in AMF, but if I open a "missing" file that's under my User folder, it will then show up in AMF. (Except for pictures and songs - see #3)
    3)  AMF doesn't index anything that's in my iPhoto or iTunes libraries (even after opening a picture in iPhoto or playing a song in iTunes.)
    4)  AMF doesn't index attachments to Mail messages unless you download the attachment (presumably because it's then stored under your User folder.)
    5) AMF will only seem to (sometimes) index Excel spreadsheets if they're saved as .xlsx files.  Even opening, changing and saving a .xls file won't get it to show up in AMF afterward.  Spreadsheets are strange, in fact.  Even with some .xlsx files, they'll show up in AMF *while I have them open in Excel*, but as soon as I close them in Excel, they disappear from AMF again.  This is the only types of file I've seen disappear from AMF after they've shown up once - all the other file types seem to stay in AMF once you can get them to show up there.

  • Why does the new photo app not allow all the photos on my iMac to appear on iPhone and iPad?

    Imac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
    New Photo App has over 9000 photos but only 180 or so appear on iPhone and iPad. Why. I have sufficient iCloud storage.

    How did you import the photos?
    Are the missing photos perhaps referenced? Then they cannot upload to iCloud.
    You can check with a smart album, if you have any photos in the library, that cannot upload to iCloud.

  • Smb share not displaying all files in finder

    When accessing a non-windows (IBM iseries) smb share, I will only see 30 objects. Windows PCs will see all of the available objects.
    Is there a solution for this problem?

    Hi,
    Me too, I am encountering the same problem, not with Windows XP but with a virtual Windows NT machine.
    I am connecting to an SMB share on a Unix server running under Sun Solaris (vers. 8) on which the Windows NT machine is emulated by running PC Netlink (version 2.0 Rev=rr24).
    Viewing share folders by clicking them via Finder, I see only a maximum of 30 entries (folders and/or files) in each sub folder, though many of them contain dozens or hundreds of objects.
    When I view those folders via the command line in the Terminal, I see even less: only 14 objects appear. For each sorting mode the same 14 objects are visible.
    When I copy a file from my local harddisk into such a folder, it disappears immediately after copying. When I copy the same file a second time into the same folder, a message pops up rejecting the copying because another file with that name already exists. Together with that message the "hidden" first copy now appears in the finder window, only to disappear again when the warning message is clicked away.
    I do see all objects when I mount the shares on a PC or on my old PB G3, running Classic MacOS 9.2.2. And I did see all objects before I migrated from MacOS X 10.3.9 to MacOS X 10.4.10.
    The names of the "hidden" objects are all OK (neither beginning nor ending with a dot, etc.).
    I am curious if somebody found a solution for the prob, or what workaround you are using.
    Thank you
    Fred

  • Photo App does not display all photos

    Running iOS 7.0.4 on an iPhone 4S. The new Photo App does not display all photos properly. All photos show up as thumbnails. However, when you tap on some of them, only a blank page is displayed. The rest is fine. This issue started after the upgrade to iOS 7. Is this a bug? Hardware-related?

    Upon closer inspection it appears that the missing photos are in a folder called IPhoto Library.  This folder is greyed out when I choose the import folder.
    When I use 'show package contents' it reveals the missing photos (below).  Why is my iphoto library so scrambled!  Thanks for any insight.

  • I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
    Is this iPhoto on your Mac?  Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11?  If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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 that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
    Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

  • Bridge CS4 Search Not Displaying NEF Files + Keyword Problems

    Hello, I am hoping someone can be of service to peculiar problem that apparently nobody else has had.
    I am running Adobe Bridge CS4 (came bundled with Photoshop Elements 8) on a 2009 24 inch iMac with 4GB RAM and a 2.6mHz processor running Snow Leopard v10.6.2.
    I use Adobe Bridge CS4 to add Keywords to all my photos and edit 14 bit Nikon NEF RAW files. I write the keywords to an .XMP sidecar
    file.
    Two days I ago I changed something in Preferences->Metadata and the next time I started Bridge CS4 and used the loupe tool on a NEF
    file, it took longer than usual for the preview to come up and when it did, it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%. Once the loupe preview showed up, the NEF file had some sort of processing applied to it (it became more contrasted.) This was all within Bridge ant NOT Adobe Camera Raw. I quit the program and the next time I started Bridge, it crashed upon using the loupe tool. I looked up help on Adobe's website and it appeared I had corrupted preferences. Per Adobe's instructions I option clicked at Bridge startup to delete the preferences and purge the cache.
    Everything appeared to be normal until today when I searched for a keyword and got 36 random results when I know I have hundreds of
    photos tagged with that particular keyword. I started typing in other keywords and getting the same sort of results- very limited numbers of photos I have hundreds of. I always include all subfolders in all searches and used every search method available through Bridge to no avail. The searches always came up with a fraction of the photos I actually have tagged.
    I then verified and repaired all disk permissions from the operating system installation CD and Bridge started returning results as
    usual. However, when I clicked on an individual file in the Content pane, some of my Keywords started to appear in italics below the rest of my Keyword tree. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why some images will return the Keywords normally and others in italics. Also, sometime the italicized keyword tree will include keywords I edited due to typos and thus no longer existing my normal Keyword tree. I gave the "Make Persistent" command a try. It converts the italics to regular case, but it also doubles the tag so I now have two of that tag (one in the normal keyword tree, and the now converted italics keyword tree.)
    Now I'm noticing that all my search results are not including NEF files; just JPEG and the occasional DNG file that I made through Adobe Camera RAW. I'm not sure if this has been the case throughout my problem or if I just noticed it late.
    Regarding not displaying NEF files in searches, it appears that it will default to displaying JPEG if it has the option because as of lately I have only been shooting RAW and some of those files are showing up in the still-wonky searches (still displaying random or no photos of keywords.) However, if I manually navigate to a file, I can open and edit NEF files with no problem, they just don't display in any search modes.
    Here's two short videos of what happens when I navigate a folder with NEF files by manually searching:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDjUDZzULKQ
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y9HkDK7DCs
    When I click on a NEF file, the one ahead of it in Content view processes into a more contrasty image and the loupe tool previews jump between 100% and 400% and then change to 100% when dragged or they just process themselves right then and there.

    I am running Adobe Bridge CS4 (came bundled with Photoshop Elements 8) on a 2009 24 inch iMac with 4GB RAM and a 2.6mHz processor running Snow Leopard v10.6.2.
    Snow Leopard and Bridge CS4 do have some issues. Some have no problems and others have much problems I'm afraid.
    I use Adobe Bridge CS4 to add Keywords to all my photos and edit 14 bit Nikon NEF RAW files. I write the keywords to an .XMP sidecar file.
    To my knowledge the keywords are written into the XMP Metadata that is saved in the IPTC section of file itself, the XMP data in the sidecar file contain the changes you made in ACR. In other words, the keywords you have added should still be there.
    Also see this Knowledge Base article about Keywords:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402660.html
    Two days I ago I changed something in Preferences->Metadata and the next time I started Bridge CS4 and used the loupe tool on a NEF file, it took longer than usual for the preview to come up and when it did, it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%.
    Changes metadata in prefs only affects the visability of the fields in the metadata panel. put or deselect a checkmark in front of an option will let you see or not see the field in this panel, the actual data and fields ar still in the file.
    it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%. Once the loupe preview showed up, the NEF file had some sort of processing applied to it (it became more contrasted.) This was all within Bridge ant NOT Adobe Camera Raw.
    You can change the magnification for the loupe to 100 / 200 / 400 and 800 % using the scrollwheel or with loupe active the + and - keys. Bridge shows the settings that you made in ACR. If you have changed the default Camera Raw setting it will also change the thumbs for this file. A thumbs needs some time to be cached. First it shows with a black border around, when first cached it shows the embedded preview and in the second round it renders the ACR settings and High Quality preview (if you have not disabled this setting). Caching needs some time.
    Everything appeared to be normal until today when I searched for a keyword and got 36 random results when I know I have hundreds of photos tagged with that particular keyword. I started typing in other keywords and getting the same sort of results- very limited numbers of photos I have hundreds of. I always include all subfolders in all searches and used every search method available through Bridge to no avail. The searches always came up with a fraction of the photos I actually have tagged.
    Maybe you need to let the indexing in find do its work again but it might also be a snow leopard issue. Try an other app (Digital Asset Management like Expresion Media or  Portfolio) to check about the keywording and find. You can use a trial version for several days. You have several options to use find keywords. In the panel itself, in the filterpanel uner the keyword tab, when clicking on a visible keyword it only shows the files with that keyword or in the menu Edit / find (shortcut cmd + F) explore the options in this menu and also choose include non indexed and let Bridge start to index your files again.
    However, when I clicked on an individual file in the Content pane, some of my Keywords started to appear in italics below the rest of my Keyword tree. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why some images will return the Keywords normally and others in italics. Also, sometime the italicized keyword tree will include keywords I edited due to typos and thus no longer existing my normal Keyword tree. I gave the "Make Persistent" command a try. It converts the italics to regular case, but it also doubles the tag so I now have two of that tag (one in the normal keyword tree, and the now converted italics keyword tree.)
    Don't know about that.
    Here's two short videos of what happens when I navigate a folder with NEF files by manually searching:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDjUDZzULKQ
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y9HkDK7DCs

    As you can see the black border around some file that disappear after a while or when you select them they have not been cached. You used purge cache so most of your earlier cached results are gone and need to rebuild.

  • My edited photos will not display when clicked on, a large triangle with exclmation comes up

    my edited photos will not display when clicked on, instead a large grey area comes up wiht a triangle /exclamation sign. 

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. 

  • Navigation & Photo Page not displaying within some browsers

    Hello,
    I am using iWeb '08 and am having great difficulties trying to get my site cross browser compatible. The site is working perfectly on the Mac in Firefox 2 & Safari but not Firefox 3. It is also not displaying correctly in Firefox 2.0.0.13 and IE7 on my WinXP machine. Unfortunately the error is not just a cosmetic issue. The Main Navigation is not displaying on any page and only shows a bullet point where it is meant to be. The other error occurs in the Photo Template and the photos are not displaying. I am using a "Version 1 template" and did a test with a "version 2" template that provided the same errors.
    Has anyone else had these problems???

    You have applied a height of "auto"to your menubar container, which gives it no height at all in some browsers. If you have a clue what height you would like to display for your menubar, give it, instead of:
        <div style="height: auto;" id="p7PMM_1" class="p7PMMh04">
    Better yet, leave it in the CSS file, where you will find it when you go looking for it. You already assign a height there:
    .p7PMMh04 {
        width: auto;
        height: 20px;
        margin: 0 auto;
