After a rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for RAW images.

Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day. This time was different though - after the rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for all RAW images (Canon). Images from other cameras and jpegs are all fine. Only the events with Canon RAW images have no thumbnails.
I am rebuilding the thumbnails once again but has anyone else seen this issue? Losing thumbnails to RAW images during a rebuild?

There is no need to do this. It doesn't achieve anything.
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 rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

After I have repaired my External HD my files are missing

I have repaired my External HD on Mac OsX Yosemite and my files are not showing in my HD anymore. But when I check it, it has the same space as before I have repaired, like my files were there. How can I solve this problem and having access to those files?

Have you tried restarting the external drive and the computer?

I cannot close or import or any function to iphoto. I have been getting the same message for many days "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." I do not know where the photos would be importing from.

I cannot close or import or any function to iphoto. I have been getting the same message for many days "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." I do not know where the photos would be importing from. How do I get it to proceed?

After Force Quitting, as LarryHN recommended,
Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. By default it is in your Pictures folder.
Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto lIbrary. Select "Show package contents" from the panel, that will pop up.
Look for a folder named "Importing" or "Import". Remove this folder, but don't touch anything else.
Then launch iPhoto again.
If iPhoto now is working again, check the folder you removed, if there are any photos that you want to keep and save them.

I tried to import 2 photos from an email. The photos are now on iPhoto, however, when I try to close iPhoto or turn off my computer, I get a notice that says, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."

I tried to import 2 photos from an email to iphoto. The photos now appear in iphoto as the latest imports, However, when I try to close iphoto or log off of my computer, I get a message box that says, " Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."
I can't get out of iphoto or log off of my computer, or turn the computer off. How do I stop the import or log out of iphoto???

Try Force-quit from the Apple-menu to close iPhoto.

How to determine which photos in library are missing their master images

I recently consolidated referenced images into my library. It said some of those images were missing the masters. How do I figure out which ones are missing the master images?

You can do a filter on your library with "File Status" is "Missing". The "File Status" query is not available by default, but you can add it by clicking the upper-right button in the filter window.

Some photos in iphoto are missing and there are blank thumbnails which when i try to open them show an exclamation sign

some photos in iphoto are missing and there are blank thumbnails which when i try to open them show an exclamation sign

The exclamation make is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path to the original photo.
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library 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.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
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.

Does iTunes still play the tracks that haven't been consolidated or do they now have broken links? If the links are broken are the tracks still, in fact, in their original locations?

Need to go into photo library to retrieve photos that technical support lost at the store. Told to do "command Option" at the same time - than click on "I-photo" then check the box "repair the i-photo library.... I have had two appointment at the store

How can i retrieve my photo library that got lost by your techs at the apple store?

First to locate your library on the hard drive launch iPhoto with the Option key held down so you get this window:
Your library should be displayed in the window and it's location displayed below the window when clicked on.
If that fails to locate your library download and run Find Any File to search for a file named "ThumbJPGSegment.data" which is a file common to all versions of iPhoto libraries.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.
Once you find the library you can try to repair if it doesn't open as it should by trying this:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I open my i photo library there are no pictures. The message is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.Scared to hit upgrade!!!

I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I opened i photo, it says the photo livrary needs to be upgraded to work with this version of I photo. Where are my pictures? The message is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of Iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete". I'm scared to upgrade!! Does this mean my photos can't be read once I upgrade? Where are my pictures?

First have you backed up your computer, if you have and your iPhoto library is in the back up you have nothing to be concerned about. If you are not using at least Time Machine to back up your system then you should be concerned because well frankly that is simply bad computing practice and you risking all of your data.
As for the message you received all that means is your system was using an earlier version of iPhoto with the version of OS X you previously had installed and now that you have updated to 10.9.2 (Mavericks) your version of iPhoto has also upgraded and needs to get ready to import all of your pictures. If you have backup then you should be confident the upgrade will go through smoothly, Apple generally has very good instructions and will not give bad advice, second guessing them may be cautious but is generally unnecessary.

"Photo Library" thumbnail disappeared (use to be there) - Name also changed

Hey,
I just got a new 3GS after my 3G was stolen. I first fired up itunes yesterday, and under 'photos' it offered a view of 4 blue folders (everything in "My Pictures"). It wouldn't let me browse 'into' a folder, so I moved the actual folder itself so it's root was in my pictures. Obviously at this point it showed, up, I selected it, hit sync.
Now -- the view from within my phone when I selected "Photos" showed my different libraries, and the one I just uploaded ( all my contact wallpapers) had the NAME of the folder, as well as a thumbnail for the first photo in the folder. I loved this..
I went back into itunes and saw the option to 'select folder', so i moved the folder back from root of my photos to where it belongs. Then when I selected that folder, the blue itunes folder viewer disappeared and now it's only the folder I selected with an empty screen.
When I go back into 'Photos' after it syncs, the preview image is no longer there, and the name of the library has reverted back from the name of the folder to simply "Photo Library" with the default picture of the stupid yellow flower.
In iTunes I can't get it back to the original way it was before I selected a custom folder. Is there any way I can get this back?
Thanks
it's a minor detail but, I really like it cause when I show pictures to people they will see my thumbnails of the different libraries, along with cool names

Wow I actually just got it
I fiddled with it 5 seconds longer.
What I had to do was select the 'My Pictures' from the file selector, then cancel the sync (i have like 5gb of pics...), then i went away from the screen, then came back, and suddenly the folder selector is back.
I moved the folder back into root, and now it shows the name of the folder in "photos" , along with the preview image !
Rock on

Help Please. All recent photos and music are missing.

All photos and music loaded after 2005 are missing. It is almost as if all settings have reverted to a time in late 2005. iPhoto has old photographs present, but no recent photos. However, recent history in Safari is listed correctly. Also, Mail is asking to setup account information, as if this is the first time it has been used. I've explored the possibility of someone creating a new user, or changing home user or home user name or short name, and that has not happened. I've also checked the trash. I've also logged out and in several times.
Thank you.

Problem solved.
It seems that someone in my family accidentally moved the "library" folder out of the home directory and onto the desktop. Who know when it happened, but I guess once I logged out and back in either a new library was created, or more likely an older library folder was found and used. I renamed that folder to an unusable version, dragged the correct "library" back to the home directory, re-started and was in business.

.xml file and iTunes library files are missing from the music folder

I recently made a second itunes library on my external hd, today when I open itunes and choose this library, the .xml file and itunes music file are invisible or translucent, therefore I can't open my library. But when I go to my music folder they are missing. Another odd thing is that all my music is still in the folder. Is there a way to re-open my library w/o re-importing all my music? Can I some how get a new itunes library file?
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This is not an answer but I have the same problem. From time to time I clone my music drive to an external drive for back up. When I do, I burn a copy of the album artwork folder, iTunes Music folder, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Libraru.xml, and iTunes Library file to CDRW. This is so I can copy them into the music folder in my user home drive of my laptop then hook up the external and have access my library. Trouble is the .xml file and iTunes library files don't always show up when I go to the iTunes folder in my Music folder. There either is a blank where they should be or the names appear with no icon and when I click to select, that dissappers too. I thought I had a solve by exiting iTunes and letting it save everything. It seems to bring the .xml file back but not the itunes Library file. Any thoughts?
