Why are my thumbnails not matching photos?

Why are my thumbnails not matching the photos in my smart album?

I am rebuilding my thumbnails--a slow process I am learning.  We'll see how that does.  I believe I have the latest version of both iPhoto and OS.  What happens is that the thumbnail does not match the photo.  The photo in the thumbnail is in the same series, but not the same.  Many of the thumbnails are the same photo from the series.  I'll report back on the success of the thumbnail rebuilding process.

  • Thumbnails not matching photos

    I was organizing photos in iPhoto '11 and noticed some thumbnails do not match their photos. Does anyone know how this could have happened or how to fix it?

    Database corruption
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your thumbnails - this may take a few attempts

  • Iphoto thumbnails not matching photos

    Just back from a trip and uploaded all our photos, and thought they were all out of order when looking at the thumbnails, but when I click on a thumbnail, it’s actually a different photo completely. HELP!     Don’t want to lose all our photos, what’s going on? anyone else have this issue? How do I correct?

    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 #2, Rebuild Thumbnails.  It can take more than one attempt to get the job done.

  • Why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

    why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • HT1711 Why my playlists do not match between my iPhone & computer?

    Why my playlists do not match between my iPhone & computer?

    What do you mean they do not match? Are the songs wrong, are the names of the playlists wrong, are they not all synced? Do you have iTunes set to sync all songs and playlists?

  • HT1665 Why are my contacts not listed ?  They used to be there.

    Why are my contacts not listed?  They used to be there.

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

  • Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?

    Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?
    My coworkers and I are not seeing a animation in the preview pane in Adobe Bridge CS6 even when clicking the play button in the preview window. However, we do see a graphic of the first frame and one person sees 1 frame when clicking play and one other frame and then the animation stops, however, that is not the complete animation.
    I'm using Windows 7 32 bit
    My coworkers are using a mac.
    One coworker has apple OS Mountain Lion with a Intel Quad-Core Xeon – 64 bit system.
    Is this fixable or in the works as a patch? Otherwise we have to open these docs in a browser in order to view them properly.

    I've just come to the realization that some animated gifs do play fine and others do not. A coworker of mine suggests that if it's an animation made via Adobe Photoshop, it'll work in bridge but will not if it's made using something else.

  • Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

    Hello,
    I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
    "The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
    (Error code - 36)"
    Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
    I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
    Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
    Here are the specifications:
    Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
    I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
    I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
    Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
    1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
    2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
    3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
    Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
    4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
    "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
    However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
    Am I doing this the right way?
    Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
    Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
    Thanks

    To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
    Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
    Thanks Kappy

  • Why are my audiobooks not going through home sharing?

    why are my audiobooks not going through for home sharing.

    According to this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3525692), it looks like you are not able to share audiobooks through Home Sharing:
    You can share MP3, AIFF, WAV, AAC, and radio station links, but you cannot share iTunes Store Audio Books, Audible spoken word content, or QuickTime sound files.
    You can leave iTunes feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you

    Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

    It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices.  If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't.  (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

    why are my songs not numbered?

    Hi,
    In advance preferences, you can tell iTunes how to organise your library. Tick  keep iTunes organised and copy files to iTunes media folder.
    If this I has already been done, you may need to add track numbers from get info.

  • Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

    Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally on my ipad mini if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

    They should be. If you have lost bookmarks try restarting Safari:
    1. Press the Home button
    2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
    3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
    4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
    5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.
