Photos missing from catalog list

Ok, let's see if I can explain my problem. I had all of my photos saved on an external hard drive. After recently purchasing Adobe PSE 9, I began to organize all of my photos using PSE. I had my photos organized into album categories and then broken down further into albums. For example,category: Halloween and then Halloween 2009, Halloween 2010, etc. I upload/backed up my pictures to photoshop.com. Now all of my catalog names are still listed on the right side of the screen, but the albums in each catagory are gone. Also, the photos are still displayed in the Media Browser and they each have a green tag that says the photo is in a particular Album. But I can no longer view my pics by album, I have to scroll through all 10,000 pictures to find the ones I want.
How can I fix this?

It seems that all the albums/categories are in collasped state. You would need to expand all the albums/categories from the albums panel.

Photos missing from Catalog All Photographs

Currently I show 8044 under Catalog - All Photographs in the library module grid view, but when I click on All Photographs I see at the bottom of the library module"All Photographs / 8026 of 8044 photos" 18 less than what the catalog of All Photographs shows. I have looked at the filter bar at the top and none is selected with filters off selected and also at the bottom in the filmstrip it shows filters off. I have tried the library menu pulldown "Find missing Photos" but it doesn't find any. I do a test integrity and optimize catalog along with a backup on exit, I have also tried looking in grid view for thumbnails with question marks but nothing seems to reveal the 18 photos. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

Right you are! I tried unstacking photos and there they are. Thank You!

No option to save files, content/file type missing from Applications list

I want to be able to click a link to a file and have the option to Open the file with a specified application.
When clicking on the file I want to Open with a specified application, I only get a Save or Cancel option.
When I look in Preferences > Applications, the file type is missing from the list.
This was working. It is not working anymore. It is not a problem with the website. I need to know where in the FF settings I can change this.

OP, did you ever get a solution to this problem? It's driving me nuts having to specify a download destination then go into a program to open the file I just downloaded!! Have tried deleting file types .rdf and no success either!

I'm not sure of the solution on Windows. But this worked for me on Linux.
I needed to edit mimeTypes.rdf
See the links below for details. The first one was someone having a problem with Transmission. I was having a problem with ktorrent, so I just adapted that. If you're having a problem with a different file type, then you'll need to adapt it differently. But the general idea is the same.

I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home. All my music is stored on the cloud. So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different. The CDs are missing from this list.

I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home. All my music is stored on the cloud. So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different. The CDs are missing from this list. The iTunes account details I use on both computers is the same.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply.
I think you ave sorted my problem with your question. I thought that as my iTunes account was on their server (Cloud) and I had previously added CDs which showed up, that all my music was "on the cloud". I used to use Match but when I turned it off lost all my music that I had previously loaded onto my computer.
So I guess I have to use the cloud again to access my songs. This is frustrating as I fly a lot and can not use the music (Cloud based) when the phone is in flight mode as there is no internet.
So how then do I retrieve all my music to my iMac and have my laptop synced so they are the same?
I am totally confused now.

Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events and iPhoto Slideshow but are in an Album. How do I recover or copy photos back to Events and rebuild slideshow?

Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events, an Album I created, and a slideshow using the photos. This "appears" to have happened when upgrading to Yosemite. When I use iPhoto Library Manager, I see two entries for the Event Information for the date in question, same name, same number of photos, but different sizes. The smaller has the image number but no photo for the given date; the larger has the photos.
Image path for the version with all photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24/IMG_0697.jpg
Image path for the version with missing photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24_2/IMG_0697.jpg (NOTE the _2 added to the image number.)
I assume that I have to get the missing pictures back in Events so I can reload back into the Album. Hopefully, the slideshow will magically be better.
Help!

That's an indication that the link/file path between the thumbnail and the master file has been broken. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Photos Missing From Album

I upgraded to 10.10.3 and when opening the photos app, all of my albums successfully migrated. The only issue is that my IPhoto albums were sorted by name and that sort didn't follow. I unchecked the sort by date and it put most of them in the right place and I manually sorted the rest. I shut down the program and came back to it a few hours later. There are now photos missing from the album. I can't figure out what happened. I looked in the recently deleted photos and they are not there. I have them backed up both in IPhoto and in a separate folder, but before I bring them back in I need to know what happened. Anybody have any ideas???

About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?

About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?
About phone section says i have 3,223 photos - but I can no longer see about 1000 photos from about 2 years ago. This may be connected to recently trying to back up phone to iCloud, but i could not work out how to do that as I can't see any images at all showing in my iCloud account.
I am using iPhone 4s IOS 6.1.13 iPhone - didn't update software previously due to concerns about losing photos, ironically
My iTunes back tells me also that i have 3,303 photos in it - but again I can't understand how to locate these photos
any help appreciated - thanks

With your iPhone connect to iPhoto, select the photos and/or videos you want to import followed by selecting Import Selected instead of selecting Import All.
It is a good idea to remove the photos and/or videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

Having synced my ipod, there are certain artists missing from the list on the ipod, but the tracks are there under the songs list. Any reason why and how do i correct this. Thanks.

We'll assume for now, that all the songs and albums in your iTunes Library are correctly labelled (dangerous assumption, by the way!), and that a Compilation album is one with songs by different artists. Unfortunately, the music industry (bless their little cotton socks!) often mark an album by one artist, that has a collection of their songs from old albums, as a compilation! iTunes doesn't think it is!
The missing artists will be those who only appear on Compilation albums. For example, if you have one song by Fleetwood Mac in your Library, and it's on a multi-artist Compilation album, then Fleetwood Mac will not be listed in the Artists menu. But, if you then import a Fleetwood Mac album (or even a Fleetwood Mac single) into your Library, then not only will Fleetwood Mac appear under Artists, but the song by them in the Compilation album will also be listed.
One way to sort this out is to remove the Compilations option from the Main Menu and the Music Menu on your iPod. To do this, go to Settings/Main Menu/Compilations and press the Select (centre) button to turn off the tick. Then repeat this in the Settings/Music Menu/Compilations.
You should now find the missing artists listed in the Artists menu.
By the way, I now routinely check all albums I import from CD into my iTunes Library. Before I start the import procedure, I make sure that Compilation CD is turned on (highlight the album in the import window and right-click/Compilation CD) if it really is a multi-artist CD - and off if it's a single artist CD. Once imported, I manually change the album info to; (highlight album and select ) File/Get Info/Info/Album Artist has "Various Artists" in the box. Make sure it's the Album Artist box, not the Artist box.

ReImport Failure after Photos Disappear from Catalog in 2.1

Mac OS (Tiger). Lightroom 2.1. Several photos disappeared from my catalog. They are visible in Bridge. I tried to do an import from disk to get them back by selecting the missing picture in the import dialog and then clicking import. After clicking import I get a message that the file won't be imported because it is already in the catalog (even though it is not visible). If I then select the name of the file in the "will not be imported list" and click on the "show in library" button I am taken to a picture other than the one I selected for import.
I have been able to re-import the images by renaming them outside Lightrom, and doing an import from disk. Once the images are inside lightroom I can rename them to their original name. At that point I get a message saying that the file can't be renamed, and Lightroom then proceeds to rename the file to its original name.
This is making me very nervous about the integrity of the catalog in 2.1. I don't know if this is a 2.1 problem or a 2.0 problem because I noticed the missing images weeks after I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1.
So far I have noticed only two images that can't be seen in the library module and can't be reimported (unless they are renamed outside Lightroom).
Any suggestions?

I have disabled Library filters and the problem persists. Also, I have seen the same problem on two different computers under both Tiger and Leopard, Apparently, the disappearing images only disappear AFTER an editt and same in Photoshop.

Now I'm just ****** off - original photos missing from iPhoto

Ok.
So I had this problem the other day after upgrading to iPhoto 6 (see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=406534&tstart=0)
That seemed to get solved from the information provided.
OK, great. So today, I'm flipping through some albums, and I discover, much to my chagrin, that some photos (all of which appear to be from 2000/2001) have thumbnails, but no longer have the photos attached.
And before you say, "hey, do you have the apple support framework 1.4?" why yes, I've already checked.
And before you say, "hey, did you try rotating/exporting/dragging the photos to your desktop?" Why yes, I've already tried.
As a matter of fact, when I try to go into the iphoto library file structure itself, and open some of these older photos (after searching around for them because ever since the upgrade, I appear to have about 800 different files in my iphoto folder), I get a message that the image either doesn't exist or is corrupt.
Speaking of the file structure, This is a list of what I get now when I open the pictures folder in finder:
2000 (folder)
2001 (folder)
2002 (folder)
2003 (folder)
2004 (folder)
2005 (folder)
AlbumData.xml
bdayfun.jpg
Data (folder)
Dir.data
iPhoto.ipspot
iPhotoLock.data
iPod Photo Cache (folder)
Library.cache
Library.data
Library.iPhoto
Library6.iPhoto
Modified (folder - NOTE: THIS DOES HAVE AN INTERNAL FOLDER FOR 2006, BUT NONE FOR 2000 0R 2001)
Original (folder - same as "Modified")
Thumb32Segment.data
Thumb64Segment.data
ThumbJPGSegment.data
All of the photos (so far) that appear to not open are from 2001 and earlier. They are also photos that were taken with an old digital camera, and have file names such as "3 - 141" rather than the more current file naming conventions (but I didn't name these photos - iPhoto did, based on the original roll imports.
I'm finding it extremely frustrating that iPhoto wasn't upgraded in a way that took into account how previous versions of iPhoto itself worked!.
Nevermind that I've submitted multiple bug reports about the fact that iPhoto continues to crash every time I try to empty the trash folder, and have heard not a peep out of Apple.
iMac G5; PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi Samantha,
I know it must be frustrating. there is some info in the iPhoto Help files for missing photos:
"What to do about a missing photo
When you import or edit photos in iPhoto, they are saved in the iPhoto Library folder, located in the Pictures folder on your computer.
If you move, delete, or otherwise change a photo in the iPhoto Library folder, and then open the iPhoto application and try to edit or use that photo, iPhoto may not be able to find it. You will see the missing photo indicator instead (shown below).
To find or replace a missing photo:
If you have the original photo file, either on a CD or on your computer, just import it again into iPhoto. For more information, see Related Topics below.
If you don't have the original photo, or you are trying to find an edited version, try one of the following options.
Click your computer's Trash icon (not iPhoto Trash) and see if the photo is still in there.
Do a search.
To search within the iPhoto Library folder, open your Pictures folder and then open your iPhoto Library folder. From there, click Command-F, choose Images from the Any pop-up menu, and enter a search term.
To search all your files and folders, in the Finder, choose File > Find and enter a search term.
IMPORTANT: When you find the photo file, don't drag it directly into the iPhoto Libary folder. Save it to your desktop, then import it back into iPhoto from there.
If you don't know the file name, try going back to the original iPhoto Library folder and look at the other images. If one is missing in a numerical order, it may be the photo you're looking for and you can search for it. If that doesn't work, try searching on the date you think you moved the file, or the date you last edited it."
As far as your file structure, those loose year folders (if empty) can be deleted or dragged to the trash.
If the Year folders have photos in them that are missing from your library, drag them to the desktop and import the photos into iPhoto.
Here is how the library should look and what the folders contain.
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
As far as the trash is concerned, move most of the photos back into the library and delete a few at a time, then empty iPhoto's trash.
Some people have found success on making sure the trash folder is highlighted then go to iPhoto>empty trash.

Aperture 3.5 projects: Some are missing from Library listing

I use Aperture 3.5.1 with OS 10.9.2, and I have studied the various pages of Aperture manuals, and read quite a few Questions, and I think I understand the difference between projects and albums and between managed and referenced files. But I am puzzled about a few project locations.
To the left of the Aperture display window is a vertical pane about 2 inches wide, with tabs labeled "Library, Info, Adjustments."
In that left-hand pane of the window, under the tab “Library” is a heading “APERETURE LIBRARY-MASTER” and under that is the icon of “Projects”. When I select this, the right hand portion of the full window shows thumbnails representing of all my projects. These are organized by year and for each year, by date. This is the organization that Aperture did when I imported the photos, mostly from cameras. Fine.
In that left hand pan, under the Library tab, further down, there is a heading “PROJECTS”. It shows a list of folders and albums and projects.
I see that in this library there are folders marked 2011 and 2012. In each of those there are folders for the months. In 2012 these include “May”, “Jun UK", "Jun US", “Jul" and others. When I select any of these the associated thumbnails are all visible in the main display window to the right.
In the 2012 > Jun UK folder are 5 projects, with dated names such as "Jun 06, 2012 Chicheley". The word “Chicheley” and “UK" I added, but the rest of the structure 2012 > Jun was created by Aperture when I imported the photos.
However, and here is what puzzles me. In the thumbnail display to the right, of several hundred projects, there are 15 contiguous projects, all from June 2012, that are not listed in the library panel of projects in the Library tab pane at the left.
I can look at the “info” tab and see what the “Project Path” is for any photo. To judge by the badges, All of my photos are managed, not referenced. Indeed, I cannot find any photos in my Aperture library that are referenced.
The projects that show up in the Library listing at the left pane have Project paths that start with a year, for example
2012 > Jun UK > Jun 06, 2012
The projects that do not show up in the Library listing have names such as
Jun UK Chicheley > Jun 05, 2012 Aston
At the top of the Library pane is a search box. It finds Jun 06 but not Jun 05.
I have looked inside the Aperture Library package and I see the organization there for the projects that show up in the library listing. But that is missing the days that are not in the listing — it is missing the projects that show up in the main window but not in the Library list..
Those thumbnailed of the missing projects are of photos that are not referenced, I have used the main menu at the top of the screen to check that.
I can edit all the photos, wherever they may be. No problem. But why do all the projects not show up in the library listing? Where are they?
I have used EasyFind to search for a folder “Jun UK Chicheley”, allowing search in packages, but did not find it. Same problem with any of the other 15 projects that show up in PROJECTS on the right, but not in the Library listing on the left.
I may have imported the missing projects not from the camera but from a travel Aperture library, using the import library option.
Maybe I should select all of these photos and then do a “Consolidate”. I have read about this, in the Manual and in the Suppport questions, but it is not clear whether that will do what I want. I see that Consolidate is something I can do for any of my photos, not just for those that are not shown in the library. So what happens with Consolidate of a photo that is already in the listing of projects? Should I choose “copy” or “move”? If I choose “move” then what happens to whatever collection these came from?
“Show in Project” and “Show in Finder” seem to be unavailable for all of my photos.
I will appreciate help.

What you're seeing when you try to view the original file is the warning that iPhoto had broken the file path/link to the orignal file. Try this: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Photos missing from menu on AppleTV

9 out of ten times when any AppleTV (x2 gen2, x1 gen3 in house) is navigated from AppleTV Main to Computers (green) > Photos item is missing from list. Not greyed out or dimmed but gone. Then of course at some random day when I least expect it the Photos item will be listed.
All other items are there Music, Movies, TV Shows, Home vides, Podcasts, iTunes U and nothing (most often) where Photos should be ...   The iCloud Photos seem to function however always disappointedly slow.
iMac OS, TV's updates, iOS, etc all current & up-to-date, AirPort Time Capsule is wired to all TV's, iMac, wireless to all iOS. Speeds to all devices have been checked and range from 65 to 450 Mb/s, speed to the outside world averages 52MB down & 16MB up - so this should not hinder progress.
I have not been able to determine if it's the order of powering up each item (iMac, TV, ...) OR if the last time used it should be shut down in certain order OR stand on one foot, wait for a full moon?   Sadly it works one day and then the next it does not, I cannot determine the circumstances when it does or does not.
I have tried to reboot TV one at a time OR ensuring Time Machine is idle etc but to no avail to force or simply allow the photos to appear. With limited success rebooting Everything at once seems to do the trick but not 100% of the time.
I check and recheck processes running and nothing out of the ordinary raises a brow.
Thoughts, advise or wisdom?

There was a glimmer of hope today, shortly after I wrote above (about 1 ½ hours) the photos appeared.
Went out for dinner.
Came back and started everything back up as I normally do - Nothing. Checked and unchecked and rechecked settings, stood on one foot - Nothing.
Frankly it all started to a limited degree just before Mavericks era and has continued.   During this time I have become complacent with photos not working on any TV (before Yosemite perhaps monthly) however since several iPads came into our possession these have been my goto for images. The preferred method is of course several photo streams shared and not shared which work with acceptable results. Shared photo streams work to a certain level on any TV but certainly not quickly.
May I also add screen savers on TV's & iMac will default to National Geographic often and impossible to predict intervals - I'm beginning to Hate National Geographic. On my iMac I found the folder of images and replaced it with a single image warning me Yosemite has failed once again. I see this image weekly.
I can be reasonable confident the issues are not TV related nor internal network related, the root problem is OS X and the apps iPhoto and now Photos. Serving up content on all devices is instantaneous with a sustained data rate well above normal, except for images and only images.
To address your ponderation of external storage, no, I have heard of horror stories using external drives for photos.   Music, Video, TV... are all on external drives (7TB) & backed up to another set of drives. Time capsule is happy looking after images and documents.   My thoughts on the iCloud image storage was speaking aloud of perhaps a notion OS X might feel better or work better that I'm not aware, perhaps as well sparking a thought that photo library iCloud storage has a benefit. I will let Apple know of my situation and prepare myself to reinstall everything which I would like to avoid, I would have thought Photos might be fundamentally new but it appears it is using some remnant of iPhoto.
