All photos have disappeared from main photos tab

The main "photos" tab dirrectly under projects is showing no photos. The photos are still in their projects but not showing in all photos.
I do not have any filters checked. Can someone help me figure out what is going on. Thanks

Running Library First Aid (hold down Command and Option when launching Aperture) solved the issue. The last option Restoring library brought all the photos back if anyone is interested.

  • All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it).

    All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it).  The files are all on the HD.  When I try and reimport them, Organizer says they are already in there and will not allow me to proceed.  When I highlight a keyword, Get the message  "NO MEDIA TO BE DISPLAYED".  Perhaps I am dense, but I find the Search function of the Forum to be near useless, unless I just happen to type the Exact name of a topic.
    I now have no access to perhaps 35,000 files from 12 years of using PSE!

    Which operating system are you running on?   Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    Which version did you upgrade from?  updated from PSE 13 to PSE 13.1
    In the organizer, which view are you using - in the View menu is Details checked or unchecked - does it make any difference?  was unchecked now checked.  Now can see the other files, but the Keyword tags that I had attached in the past does not bring up the selected frames.
    In the View menu, select Media types - are all checked?  At this point I have only Ohotos and videos checked
    In View menu, select Hidden Files - is Show All Files checked?  yes
    I'm assuming that you are in Media view, what happens if you select People Places or Events?  get groupings of files with those keywords.

    Thanks Brian, at least some of my problems are gone, just can't get the keyword sorting to work correctly

  • All my photos have disappeared from iphoto!!! I can find them in spotlight

    Hello All! Help!
    I was importing photos from a compact flash card into iphoto which was successful. I powered down for the night, the next time I opened up iphoto my entire library seemed to have disappeared(about 5000 images!) All that was left was the new import. It was as though the prog had reset itself there were no albums etc left at all. I understand that my photos live in the iphoto library folder in my pics but that about it! I have never understood the bizarre set up for these sub folders and how they work. Nor do I understand the other elements of the iphoto folder i.e. iphotodb etc. I noticed that I had two library folders as well and when I spotlighted jpg's that I have at least doubled up on images. Its a mess! Can anyone tell me exactly the way it should all be set up, in laymen's terms? Where the folders should live and in what order? And how to get rid of all the duplicate jpgs that have somehow been created? Without having to go through 5000 images by hand!!!

    Thanks for your response Terence.
    That is what I've done already. iPhoto could not open. After the hard drive and logic board were replaced (for other issues) and OS X Leopard reinstalled, I rebuilt the library manually, and now the same thing has happened again, iPhoto crashes on start up. iPhoto Manager did not fix it, iPhoto cannot rebuild its own library for some reason, and I don't want to have to repeatedly rebuild the library by hand having already done it once. I've noted other posts about keeping constant library backups, which I can start doing, but I was wondering if perhaps going to a newer version of iPhoto would resolve this issue. There are so many similar posts on here perhaps iLife 5.0.4 is really not compatible with Leopard. I would prefer to get this version of iLife to work instead of trying to upgrade.

  • My photos have disappeared from iPhoto 11

    My hard drive was replaced at the beginning of this year by apple because of the possibility of premature failure. Just before Christmas 2013, i discovered my iPhoto was blank. sometime in January, the photos all reappeared but as of yesterday, they have once again disappeared from iPhoto. The pictures are still on the harddrive as they can be seen using Finder but are no longer grouped by albums. Also, they are locked in Finder. The iMac is running OSX 10.7.5 and the iPhoto version is 9.4.3.
    I would like my photos back in iPhoto and would like them to be reliably there when i go to view them. Any suggestions? Apple Support advised me they had never heard of this happening.

    Do you have more than one User Account..?
    If so, try your Admin and other Account(s).

  • My photos have disappeared from my phone and I can not figure out how to pull them from iCloud back to my phone. Can someone help me??

    How do u get ur photos from iCloud back to ur phone if the disappear???

    You download photo stream photos by going to Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream and setting it to On.  Photos are only held in photo stream for 30 days, so older photos will no longer be there.
    Camera roll photos are only included in your backup.  If the photos were on your iPod when you last backed it up, restoring the entire backup should recover them.  Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial device setup process.  If you have any newer data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on your iPod and given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • Photos have disappeared from iphoto library

    Hi, I am using iPhoto version 6.0.6 and I can't get some of the old photos to show up in the library.
    I had a lot of pictures, had to switch computers, and during the transfer, the old photos no longer show up in the library. I was using an older version of OS X before, now I'm using 10.5.6 on this computer.
    When I am in iPhoto, and go to file - import to library - user - pictures - iPhoto Library active - originals - (year) - (roll #) - (file #).JPG and hit "import", a window pops up that says "unreadable files: 1 The following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder)
    So it won't let me import, it sounds like because it is already in the library, which it should be, but it doesn't show up in the library. Newer photos that I have downloaded from the camera show up in the library like normal and they stay there. They are in the same location (user - pictures - iPhoto Library active - originals - (year) - (roll #) - (file #).JPG) as the photos that don't show up.
    Any ideas how I can get these photos to show up in the library? I am considering a switch to iLife 9, by the way.

    Russell
    By all means upgrade to iPhoto 09, but don't before you fix this problem. All you'll do is roll it along.
    That message is exactly what it says. The file is in the iPhoto Library Folder and iPhoto will not import files that are in the active Library folder - a sensible precaution against duplicates.
    The reason iPhoto is not showing you files in there is because the Library has been corrupted somehow.
    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 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 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    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 on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll 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.

  • HT4859 The photos have disappeared from my iPad

    Any ideas where all my photos have gone, the ones I transferred from my pc and the ones I have taken on the iPad?

    This is not syncing. Photos/videos in the iPad's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Choosing an empty folder for importing photos from the Camera Roll has no effect on this.
    What did you use on your computer for the import? Most importing software includes an option to delete photos from the source after the import process is complete.
    If you want photos in the Camera Roll included with your iCloud's Photo Stream which is temporary storage, you need to turn Photo Stream on with your iCloud account settings on your iPad.

  • Some of my photos have disappeared from iphoto

    Hi
    I'm running iphoto 09 (version 8.1.2 424) on my Mac Book (Mac OS X 10.5.6).
    I've just noticed that several photos are missing from various events. In some cases there is only one photo left. This appears to have happened randomly - some of the events are unaffected, others have just a few missing, others most.
    Are there any suggestions as to what might have happened and how I could retrieve the photos? There are no thumbnails or anything. They just appear to have vanished!
    Many thanks.

    OK so I've been digging around in this forum and seen a post which says that dragging photos from iphoto to the Trash Can in the Finder sidebar rather than iphoto's trash can, can corrupt the iphoto Library.
    I've always deleted photos from iphoto by doing this - I didn't realise this was something I shouldn't be doing. Could this be the cause? And if so can I do anything to remedy it?
    I regular back up everything to an external hard drive but I have never had cause to restore anything from it. Would I be able to do this without losing what I already have, and is there an optimum way to restore photos I don't currently have on the imac which might still be backed up on the external hard drive?
    Thank you.

  • Some of my photos have disappeared from my iPad and iphone

    I Have lost a large number of photos from my collections/albums. Random dates. How can I retrieve these. Everything is backed up to the cloud.

    Howdy Jan,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like some photos are missing from your iPhone and you want to know how to go about recovering them from an iCloud backup. Take a look at the articles linked below, the first will walk you through the restore process and the second provides information that’ll assist you in recovering photos after restoring from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
    Get help finding missing information in iCloud after restoring an iOS device - Apple Support
    Your photos
    In iOS 8 with iCloud Photo Library beta turned on, your photos and videos are stored in iCloud. They aren’t included in your iCloud backup. When you restore from iCloud Photo Library, your device downloads thumbnails of your photos and videos, and any original photos stored on your device.
    If you’re using iOS 8 and haven’t turned on iCloud Photo Library, or if you’re using iOS 7, iCloud backup includes photos and videos in your Photo Library or Camera Roll. They’ll download to your iOS device when you restore.
    Photos in My Photo Stream are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t part of your backup. iCloud stores the photos that you uploaded to My Photo Stream for 30 days. To keep these photos on your device and make them part of your backups, save these photos to your Photo Library, Camera Roll, or another album.
    To view a My Photo Stream album, make sure My Photo Stream is turned on in Settings (If you use iCloud Photo Library, the My Photo Stream folder is removed).
    To recover photos that originally synced to your device from your computer, sync your device using iTunes on a computer.
    To restore Photo Library (or Camera Roll) photos to an iPhone or iPod touch, the iCloud backup must be from an iPhone or iPod touch. To restore Photo Library (or Camera Roll) photos to an iPad, the iCloud backup must be from an iPad.
    Ciao,
    -Jason

  • Import Settings have disappeared from Advanced Preferences Tab!

    I'm running Windows XP and the submenus have all disappeared from the Edit->Preferences->Advanced menu.
    Any suggestions? Other than Apple test new software before releasing it?

    Have found the answer to my query.
    My default setting was "Custom" and this is what was showing in the pull-down menu when "Import Settings" was clicked.
    Now realise that you have to select another setting first, High or Higher Quality and then select Custom AGAIN to get the change/edit dialogue box for whatever mode you wish to import with.

  • All my photos have disappeared from my Blackberry bold 9790 and I am getting an error message! Please help!!!

    I changed simcards on my phone as normal on returning from holiday and got the following message: `Built-in Media Storage not accessible due to detected errors. Do you wish to repair it now? Yes or No.When I click yes, the message is `Select the storage you want to repair` and the options are Built-in media or cancel. When clicking on built in media, the next message is `Built in media repair failed`.
    It goes on to say-Repair failed. You can try to repair by mounting as a USB drive on Windows and running chkdsk or you can reformat. Do you want to reformat now?

    The Q5 does, indeed, have a media card slot.  The slot marked "SD" is a media card slot.  It uses a MicroSD card, just like all other BlackBerry devices.
    Yes, I'm familiar with Dropbox. On the Q5 you can set photos to automatically upload and sync with Dropbox but, depending on how many photos you take, you may need more than a free Dropbox account in order to have enough space.  A free account gives you 2GB.

  • HELP, please! My photos have disappeared from iPhoto library & I can only see them on the screensaver.

    Firstly, I should say we haven't updated/installed/deleted anything.  I just opened iPhoto yesterday and first it told me it couldn't open up without specifying a library, but then it seemed our library has just disappeared.  I then created a new library as, I have to admit, me & my DH are complete tecno dummies, but that didn't help much.  The only thing which we have done in the past couple of days is set up the screensaver to play our photos.  So now we can only see the photos on that - I'm presuming that means they haven't been completely lost (?) but am in a panic as we've got no back-up (three years worth of photos!).
    When I go on 'system preferences' (hope that's the correct translation, our computer's using Italian) and the screensaver, I can see 'picture folder' where all the photos are but I can't find that anywhere else on the computer.
    Also, I read other threads about similar probs & tried launching iPhoto pressing down 'option & control' but that didn't help me out either.
    We also spent half an hour on the phone to the Apple helpline here in Italy (yes, that's a charged call) to try and understand what's gone wrong and the advisor just kept telling us she didn't know how to help us out 'cause our Mac is an old model
    Apologies in advance for my complete ignorance about how to solve this problem but I'd be really grateful if someone out there could shed some light on what's happened. 

    when you say to go to my Pictures Folder, do you mean to go on Finder, then Pictures, then look at the iPhoto library?
    Yes. Is there more than one there?
    The material in your screensaver are cached images. They cannot be recovered and soon they will go way.
    If you have deleted your Library (and it sounds like you have done this, accidentally)  the you have deleted your Photos and you need to restore from your back up.

  • Photos have disappeared from camera roll

    my mom got home after a trip and tried to sync her iphone because of a problem she had when my sister deleted some contacts from her phone and icloud deleted from my mom's iphone automaticly during its sync apperently the laptop shut down and when she sync again all the photos from the camera roll had disapearred. i have already tried to find the photos on the cumputer but i've got nothing. are the photos deleted forever? i dont think she has a previous back up for anything since she never syncs her iphone. there is anything i can do to retrieve the lost photos?

    John
    If she has a recent icloud back-up the camera roll is also saved to that back-up.  Normally iCloud backs-up everyday and will offer you the last three back-ups to choose from.
    If the time frame is correct then you might want to try an iCloud restore from back-up.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
    And not to nag... but photos must be backed up on a computer.  It's very easy to do.
    Cheers

  • My fb photos have disappeared from their albums using firefox but i am able to view them using safari. It only happened after i tried to delete one of the photos of myself.

    I right clicked the photo and selected one of the options but can't remember the option was and then all the "photos of me" were gone and the other albums when opened up are empty, cannot view. I also cannot view any other photos on my wall when i try to open them up.

    *A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (<i>Site Identification</i> icon) on the left side of the location bar.
    *A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Mac - after updating creative cloud, all apps have disappeared from "apps" and attempts to install hang for long time.

    I recently updated the Creative Cloud app, and suddenly I get a message that I have not yet downloaded any apps. They are all right there in my applications folder, but not in my CC desktop app. When I attempt to install any app, it hangs at 40 or 42% forever..... Please help.

    Thanks for your response, John,
    I'm not sure what browsers and firewall have to do with this issue. I have been using Creative Cloud as a desktop app since first subscribing to the Adobe Creative Cloud, and downloaded all of the apps that I use on a daily basis way back then. The only change between seeing all of my apps and not seeing any of them was updating the actual Creative Cloud app itself. There were no other changes. Here is a screen shot of what I saw when attempting to update Acrobat. Below that are two screen shots that may be a signal that my Creative Cloud app is corrupt. Please let me know how to proceed.
    This hung at 42% for about half an hour....
    This seems quite odd....
    InDesign seems normal...
