After Import photos are not visible in IPhoto

I have a problem with IPhoto 8 (7.1.5)
When I import photos from either the Iphone or a Photo DVD the photos are first visible. After closing and restarting Iphoto, Iphoto tells me, that some photos are not in the liabrary and will be recovered.
Both, the imported photos as the recovered, are not visible. If I'm opening the library file, the photos are still there and I can look at them.
Do you know how I can fix it?
(Background information: My HD crashed and I've got a knew one, the restorage of the photos was successful the problem started afterwards)
Thank you!

No. He problem is with the library. Re-installing the app will make no difference to that.
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 iPhoto Library Manager 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.

Imported photos are not appearing in iPhoto...

Beginning in late August, all of my newly imported photos are not showing up in iPhoto. However, I see them within the iPhoto directory. Everything imported prior to late August is just as it should be. Does anyone know the cause of this and how to fix it? Thanks!

Damaged database.
Option 1
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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager 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. .

Photos shown in the Package Contents are not visible in iPhoto.

I am using iPhoto '08 (7.1.5 (378)) and have suddenly found that the last 3 years worth of photos are not displayed in iPhoto while they are still visible in the Package Contents (using Finder). The folders (with event and image content) for 2012 through part 2009 are in Originals, Modified and Data but do not get picked up by the iPhoto application. I have backups upto April 2011 i.e. no backups for a considerable number of photos since April 2011.
I have searched previous discussions whereupon I have tried using the re-build option in iPhoto Library Manager (it re-builds with the photos missing) and all the re-build options available when launching iPhoto with the Option+Command keys pressed (with seemingly very little activity).
Has anyone had this problem? Have I missed a relevant discussion? Does anyone know how I can re-instate my missing photos and events in iPhoto?
Thank you in anticipation.

When you repaired the libary did you check the option ot recover orphane3d photos in the iPhoto Library folder along with rebuilding the database file and repairing file permissions and?
If that doesn't help the try the following:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I have just rented two movies and after download they are not visible anywhere in iTunes for me to watch.

I have just rented two movies and after download they are not visible anywhere for me to view. Usually in the iTunes menu there is an option call 'rentals' where rented movies sit until they expire, this is no longer visible. The movie files are listed in the finder under music/movies.... With the rest of my iTunes data, but they will not play in iTunes from there and I can't add them to my library for watching.
The only thing I am currently doing differently is that I have just subscribed to iTunes Match; would this affect my rentals?

Hi Cmcb,
Under your Library list, you should see "Movies". Click on that, and you will see a screen with several tabs at the top - Rentals, Unwatched, Movies, Genres, Home Videos, etc.
As Hackintosh indicated above, click on the Rentals tab, and your movies will be displayed there. Doulbe click on one to start playing it.
If you do not have your sidebar showing, go up to View at the top, and click on Show Sidebar. Then you will see your Library lists on the sidebar, which will include Movies.
Cheers,

My latest import photos are missing from my iphoto library but still on my ipad, how do I get them back into iphotos. I very frustrated because i just imported them from my camera and have not been able to go thru and edit the ones I want. Help please

I recently imported pictures from my camera to iphoto. I also synced my ipad. In less than 24 hours my photos are now missing from iphoto even after trying to sync my ipad again. These pictures are from a very special occasion and I did not even get time to edit. Someone help please

-Background-
My issue, which I resolved and may help you was the following:
I have an IPAD 3. I took over 5 GB of pictures on a third party camera. The car was full so I imported those pictures to my IPAD 3 and deleted them from the SD card. While on IOS 5.x, the photos on the IPAD were there under last imported.
Over the last few days, I upgraded to IOS 6. No issues.
Then, my family wanted to see the pictures from the trip. I went to the IPAD and could not find the photos. It listed 40 photos only. The last imported was there, but listed as empty. When I went into the settings>usage, it listed 5GB + of photos in the photos area. I was confused. I plugged my IPAD into ITUNES, first thinking I would get a backup asap (icloud was full after importing the photos). Then I though I would downgrade to IOS 5.
Also, itunes listed that I had 40 photos only, but 5GB of OTHER data. I was convinced the data was not lost. When I tried to browse the IPAD 3 using windows browser, the photos where NOT in the DCIM folder, so I was not able to simply "FIND" the photos and copy them to my PC.
-SOLUTION-
I downloaded third party software onto my PC called "http://www.i-funbox.com/" I fun box. I had no idea if this would work, but other forums with other issues called out similar products for iphone issues.
When I installed the program, which was free, and so far free of malware, I started to explore my IPAD file system.I found my photos, under IPAD>RAW file system>DCIM>100IMPRT.
-ROOT CAUSE-
I suspect when I upgraded to IOS 6, apple fails to register the IMPORT folder of photos as such, photos. So the file system in IOS looses sight of what is inside the last imported folder. Essentially removing them from applications such as "Photos". Why windows does not seem them, is beyond me. But the program I found did see them in raw format, and I was able to COPY them to my PC. Then I deleted them from the IPAD, because I had no other way of managing this folder in IPAD, and it was using a lot of space.

Newly imported photos are not displaying

Just imported all photos from my card as normal - delted them on the card after uploading - now none of those photos are showing up in iPhoto - all the card is empty. How can I find these photos?

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
what version of iPhoto? are they in last import or last "n" months?

ICamera photos are not displayed in iPhoto

HI!
I have a big problem: Whan I make photos with the included camera in my iPad,
these photos are not displayed in the iPhoto app supplied with my iPad. I can't find
them.
I'm using IOS 5.0.1.
Any help? PLEASE!!!

After you snap the photo with the iPad, and that picture shrinks down to the corner, you should ba able to tap that little picture - and it should open in the Camera Roll in the Photos app.
I'm not sure what to suggest other than the basic, first try, troubleshooting steps.
Quit the camera app and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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 - let go of the buttons.

Imported photos are not in sequence by the date

My photos imported are being inserted with photos that were taken several years ago. IN other words, they are not at the bottom of the viewing area, but toward the top!!!

I did not state the problem very well. My pictures I just imported, showed up at the bottom with the correct dates when I viewed them as "photos"; but when I choose to see Events; they show up with among other events from 2010 or 2009. WHY? This has happened with several imports in the last 2 weeks.

Edited photos are not reflected in iPhoto 08 and a bonus question

I'm using iPhoto 08 to upload photos from my DSLR. I then drag them into Photoshop for editing and save them from that application. When I go back to iPhoto they still show the unedited version. If I drag that photo back into Photoshop, it is indeed the edited version.
Is there a setting to show the edited version in iPhoto 08?
2nd question:
When I use the finder application to navigate to the location of my iPhoto library, I can't "dig"any deeper than the iPhoto application. I know I can "show file" from iPhoto, but it some cases, I'd rather just navigate to the location through finder. Can this be done?

No - once you export a photo, you own it and iPhoto has nothing more to do with it until you import it back into iPhoto (which in your case is not what you want because it duplicates the photo in your iPhoto library)
-- BUT
There is a setting to make photoshop the editor for iPhoto and if you use that your photos will be correctly reflected in iPhoto
iPhoto menu ==> General ==> edit photos "in application" and select photoshop as the application
Now when you edit a photo in iPhoto it will pass it to photoshop, you will edit it and save it (NOT SAVE AS) and the edited version will be part of your iPhoto library

Export TextFlow and after import TextFlow inlineGraphics not visible

I load a previous export TextFlow as follow :
var xmlOut:XML = TextConverter.export(evt.textFlow,TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT,ConversionType.XML_TYP E) as XML
But in my xmlOut my inlineGraphicElement as source="[object Bitmap]" it's not a uri.
When i load this Texflow my pitures not visibles (not loading in bacground).
Help me please, I'm not understand.

I would suggest that you attach some identifying information to the InlineGraphicElement as a user style, and use that information when you reload the xml to hook up the DisplayObjects to the InlineGraphicElements.
So you would use the setStyle function on the InlineGraphicElement to add you identifying information, for instance setStyle("graphicID", "511"). This is just a way to tag the InlineGraphicElement so you can hook it up to the image later. When you export the TextFlow, you should see the "graphicID" as an attribute on the image. Then when you import the TextFlow, loop through all the InlineGraphicElements in it and set their graphic properties appropriately.
Hope this helps,

Edited photos are not saved in Iphoto 09

I make my edits in iphoto 09 in my library photos imported from my iphone. I can perform the edits on the screen in small or full screen, either one, and then I click done. And it does not save the changes, it reverts back to the original which remains unedited in the photo event folder or library area. What is defective and how to fix? Just switched from PC to MAC. hmmmm.

TD- I discovered that changes such as red eye, or crop will save. The changes which do not save are the zooming in using the 1 key as described in the video tutorial of Iphone editing. If I do that, and then the area of interest is indeed enlarged, and a small sub screen shows up to allow me to move the focus area around even more to highlight what I want, then I click done and nothing is saved? This would be the most common use I would have for edits.
Many thanks

What happens if you select the Photos icon in the Library tab of the Inspector?

In a word press moving photo gallery, the photos are not visible though slide change indicator advances

http://sedonaharmony.org/
On the above website there is a photo gallery moving banner at the top of this home page. When I first went on this site I could see the photos properly as they advanced. Then, the blog photos were changed and I could no longer see the photos. The banner on my screen is a complete blank even though the upper right circles indicate that "something" is progressing. When I first open the site I see a momentary flash of the site name graphic then the banner goes blank (white). Thanks for your help

The script that loads the images doesn't seem to be working in Firefox 3.x versions including Firefox 3.6.23<br />
The banner loads if JavaScript is disabled, but with JavaScript enabled a script replaces that banner with a slide show that fails to load the images.<br />
It work in Firefox 4 and the current Firefox 7.0.1 version, so you will have to update if you want to visit that site.

Photos not visible in iPhoto v8.1 (iLife 09)

I've copied my iPhoto library to a new computer and even though all pictures are in the library, about half of them are not visible in iPhoto v8.1 (iLife 09).
• Only 74 events of 219 are visible.
• Picture count on new computer is 2752 and 7709 on old computer in iPhoto
• iPhoto on older machine is v7.1.5 (iLife 08)
• New albums have been created on new machine that must have disappeared during previous iPhoto updates.
• Photo library size is 3 GB larger on new machine
• Running 10.5.8 on older machine and 10.6.1 on new machine
I've played with "Hide Photos" and no change.
Any one has any ideas how to correct this?
Thanx in advance.

Just an update on this...re-copied and I'm having the same issue. Here are some additional testing I did.
• Updated iPhoto to v8 (iLife 09) on the original machine (G5 PM) and no issues.
• Copied updated Library to new machine (iMac 3.06) and still same issue. Its running iPhoto 8.1
• Updated iPhoto to 8.1 on G5 and I'm encountering the same issue as the iMac. Only see 74 events out of some 220 events and 2752 pictures out of 7100 pictures.
Conclusion - iPhoto 8.1 (iLife 09) messes up something in my photo library.
TD - thanx for your quick feedback.
BTW - just got notification that a new iPhoto update, 8.1.1, is available! Going to try it and update the results here.
