Why can't I see my photos

My wife has photos and I can view/edit some of them but not all of them....thumbnails available but the actual file is not.

What folders are they in?
In Finder do a Get Info on them, see what rights you have... & if you can add your rights by unlocking the lock.

The guides all say when using the iCloud photos are shared across all devices. Why can't I see my photos from my iPhone on my iPad when it settings on both devices the iCloud for photos is on?

When you enable Photo Stream on your devices, only new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your Photo Stream. Existing photos won't.

Why Can't I see my photos in my icloud account?

Because there is no iCloud photo viewer. You need to move them to your computer or your iOS device to view them. Photo stream is just a mechanism to share photo's across multiple devices - it is not an online permanent storage, nor an online viewer feature.
Photo stream storage space is not even part of your personal iCloud account - it is separate, intended for temporary (max. 30 days) storage of photos solely to allow you to copy them onto other devices.

You can only if do that by:
using Photo Stream to import your photos to your computer.
That is all Apple allows

You did something wrong

What happens?
Did you restore the iPhoto library as a single entity?
What did you do and how?

Why can't I see my photos out of this App?? What could I do?

Hi, everyone!
All my photos are on iPhoto, but I can't see any folder with them out of the iPhoto!
So..... When Im on twitter, FOR EXAMPLE, and I want to put a pic as Profile Photo, I have to copy the photo from iPhoto to any folder (desk, example..) then, I open the twitter photo searcher to pick up that photo and upload to the site.... Is it right?? I thought I could search the pics in some folder created automatically by iPhoto in the IMAGES folder..... =/ ........Sorry for my English. This is not my native language.
Thanks....

I ALREADY FOUND THE ANSWER!!

Why can't I see my photos after moving them to external hard drive?

My imac hard drive ran out of available space, so I copied iPhoto and all file to an external hard drive and deleted the originals from my original hard drive. All files seemed to come over, but I can't open the photos or see the images. Is there anything I can do to resolve this situation? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

no idea what you did or if the EHD is properly formatted
the correct procedure is
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Why can't I see the photos in an album when I use the edit tool.

I can see the film strip of photos in the album at the bottom of the screen, and when I select one of the photos the name and order number of the photo come up but the window where the photo should be but it is just blank. Any idea what gives?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Why can't i see cover photos on profiles on Facebook ap

All of a sudden I can't seem to see any cover photos on any profiles on the Facebook ap including mine. I've deleted and re installed the ap, reset my phone and even restored factory settings then restored back up from my laptop. Besides that aps keep closing randomly and if I'm listening to music it goes off if I open up Facebook. Someone Help! Thanks in advance.

Try this:
Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for each open app
Sign out of Facebook here: Settings > Facebook > Tap your name then Delete Account
Delete the Facebook app
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
Reinstall the Facebook app
Sign back in here: Settings > Facebook

HELP, why can i not see my photo stream or contacts on icloud???

I have set up and turned on everything in my icloud setting on my iphone, but none of my photos, mail, or contacts are loaded on my icloud website profile. anyone know why? my reminders and calenders are there.... please help!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos aren't supposed to show up at iCloud.com, only iCloud mail can be viewed at iCloud.com, are you expecting other accounts to be available.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Iphoto vs icloud vs iphone.... why can i not see my photos on my phone?

i am trying to veiw my iphoto photos from my mac, i want to see them on my i phone. i have set up the streaming on both devices and i sstil see nothing! does iphoto for iphone also have to be downloaded to see everything i see on my computer?

What version of iPhoto? Of the Mac OS?
You do not need iPhoto for the iPhone to stream photos.
The general answer is to turn PhotoStream on in the Mac iCloud preferences and in the iPhoto preferences and on your iPhone. Then drag photos from the iPhoto library to the PhotoStream in the source pane on the left

Why can't I see my photos on ipad3 that are on my iPhone 4s

Why would you expect them to be visible?
Have you turned on Photostream?
Some details please.

Why can't I view my photos when I log into my iCloud account?

Why can't I see my photos on iCloud when I have Photo stream activated on my IPhone and computer

Because photo stream is a sync service, it is not a storage service where you can post gallaries and view photos directly in icloud.com.
It's only used for syncing photos between devices and computers.

I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro. Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File Import menu?

I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro. Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File>Import menu?

There was no driver update available (it said my driver was up to date), so I just deleted the scanner and restarted the computer. when it came up, the scanner had already been added again. With great anticipation I tried to import from Photoshop...but no luck (scanner was not visible). I finally ended up calling Epson (had great difficulty in locating a number for support) and they finally told me there is no driver update for OS X 10.10 and I should as a work around use "Image Capture" application. I tried it, and it works quite well.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.
