All Photos Missing!

I just upgraded to a new iMac. My entire iphoto library was transfered. Initially all photos appeared but they are now missing. The photo count still shows 3748 photos but they will not open. If I click on a photo thumbnail or event all I see is a large fuzzy !

Carola:
Try the following:
1 -download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
2 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
3 - if the first two don't help rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
4 - lastly if all else fails you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old one as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • ALL Photos missing after Time Machine restore  (help)

    So, I accidently formated the wrong drive while in Windows, (big oops) which gave me the opportunity to take Time Machine for a test drive.
    I put the DVD in, and was able to restore from the TIme Machine drive. Very impressed! Everything came back just as I had left it except - whats this? The default Leopard wallpaper instead of a picture of my son? Huh strange, I thought. Until I noticed I had no photos in iPhoto.
    There seems to be reminents of photos in the iphoto database - the size is 1.3gb instead of the 7gb it used to be. But 0 photos in iPhoto 08.
    I went into iPhoto and choose File/Browse Backups. I selected Nov 8th, which was the last day of my backup and showed all 7000+ photos, and clicked "Restore All". This brought up something odd - a 2nd iPhoto icon in the dock, which showed a progress bar for the restore. Once the restore was completed, I still had a 2nd iPhoto icon the the bar, which was iPhoto running - but no photos in iphoto! I exited the 2nd iphoto, which disappeared, and launched my normal Iphoto icon. Still no photos! (That just seems odd that it would launch iPhoto with a 2nd icon)
    So, I moved my iphoto database, and launch iPhoto in order to create a fresh database - thinking maybe that was the issue. I then did File/Restore again, and went through the whole processes again, including the odd 2nd icon. Still, no photos! And another 1.3gb iphoto database!
    Is it normal for a Time Machine restore to not include your photos? Surely you are not supposed to restore them separately from within Iphoto?
    What do I do now? At this point, everything went very well - except no photos! Which is awful and not at all expected! 7000+ family photos! At least, if I ask iPhoto/Time Machine to restore 'all photos' you would think it would restore 'all photos' - not show a progress bar, and then show me no photos!
    p.s. I just tooked at the iPhoto Library. The 1.3gb is in /Data/ which contains folders 2000-2007, my Events, and thumbnails of all the photos - but no actual photos (the 'Originals' folder is missing).
    I then went back in time, and found the 8gb iPhoto Library database. I supposed I could copy it over manually via Time Machine, and not iPhoto's Restore/TM - but - i'm so far off track of how this should have went I don't know what to think!
    p.s.s. So I did just that - copied the 8gb iPhoto Library manually from TM, and pasted it in place. I help down option, and launch iPhoto, selecting the 8gb library - and BOOM... no photos!
    Something is #$%# up here.

    This is what it says in the help file:
    Reverting to a previous Mac OS X version
    If you’ve used Time Machine to back up your computer, you can easily revert to a previous version of Mac OS X if you’re experiencing trouble after installing an update.
    IMPORTANT: Reverting to the previous version of Mac OS X will erase any additions or changes you’ve made to the files on your computer after installing the new version of Mac OS X. To save new or revised files, copy them onto a different disk or back them up using Time Machine before you follow these instructions. Use Time Machine only if you’re reverting to a previous version of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), since Time Machine is not available with Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier.
    To revert to a previous version of Mac OS X:
    Insert the disc you used to install the new version of Mac OS X, and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
    In the Installer, choose Utilities > Restore System From Backup.
    In the Restore Your System dialog, click Continue.
    Select your Time Machine backup volume.
    Select the Time Machine backup you want to restore. To restore your computer to the state it was in before you installed a new version of Mac OS X, choose the most recent backup.
    Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If you backed up any individual files as described under the Important message above, you can restore them now. If you backed them up using Time Machine, recover them using the Time Machine application. (You’ll find the Time Machine application in the Dock or in the Applications folder.)
    Hope this helps

  • IPhoto 08 - All Photos Missing -

    Our 2GHz Core Duo iMac w/ Mac OS 10.4.10 running iLife 08 froze today.
    Following a hard forced restart - we launched iPhoto
    All of our photos and albums are missing from the library.
    1) Getinfo shows the iPhoto library file is still 35.8GB on disk.
    2) Launching iPhoto w/ Option key and choosing the library does not fix this
    - Library still comes up with zero photos
    3) Launching iPhoto w/ Command-Option key and choosing all rebuid options does not fix this
    - Library still comes up with zero photos
    4) The latest iPhoto Library Manager indicates that this 35.8GB file has no photos.
    Any help?

    MacGenealogist
    As I posted i reply to your other post:
    Our 2GHz Core Duo iMac w/ Mac OS 10.4.10 running iLife 08 froze today.
    If iPhoto is running - and specifically - writing to the db file - then the database will be corrupted.
    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 Folder allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls 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 Folder 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.

  • All Photos Missing From Library

    I have several libraries on my hard drive which I switch back and forth from. today one of the libraries opens commpltely blank. No Photos not albums that I created nothing. On the bottom it says no photos, yet when I look at the harddrive the photos are there. This is a library of about 2000 photos most of them modified. I tied using option + command when booting and rebuilding but nothing happens. I can go into each of the photographs and click on them and they open in Photoshop so photos are in tack. So what happened?
    How can I get this information back in iPhoto and have it look like it did before?

    weavinglady
    Do you have a back-up? Then it might be time to restore.
    If not then it might be time to rebuild the library from scratch.
    To rebuild the library: move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find there the Originals folder. From there drag the individual rolls 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 Folder 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.

  • PSE 6 Missing Photos How Can I merge ALL photos to PSE6?

    I have three versions of elements on my pc..
    starter 3
    PSE4
    PSE6
    in all the programs there are photos missing with the (?) or the torn photo image..
    in PSE6 when I click on the (?) the program searches and finds the photo quickly BUT I dnt want to do that for thusands of photos.
    I WANT to free up space on my hard drive and delete copies of my photos and ran a duplicate photo program which found some photos to have as many as 6 copies most have doubles..
    I have 54,000 files of photo duplicates and about 120GB of space taken up.
    I am sure that is double the amount of actual photos but as I started to delete the ones with 5-6 duplicates first saving just one copy I realized the
    duplicate finder is not perfect...sometimes the one duplicate to be saved is in an odd location compared to the ones it listes as the duplicates.
    I have deletd about 5,000 duplicates so far and got back about 10GB of space on my hard drive but I am afraid I am making it harder for the PSE6
    to find all the photos. There is a one click button that will highlight ALL the duplicates and delete them in one swoop but I am worried PSE6 will not be able to find them and with just a (?) and a date I have no idea what photo is missing or how to find it.
    I just deleted a trial version PSE6 and was finally able to install the one I was given on CD.
    but when it loaded hundreds of photos have the (?) and so I opened ALL 3 versions of PE to see if the photos are still on my hard drive or if I deleted
    them with this duplicate finder program.
    I really just want to have ALL the photos in ONE place and delete the early versions of PSE4 and starter but I am afraid I will be deleting the photos
    that are loaded in that catalog....
    How can I merge ALL my photos to PSE6?

    Here's a method for finding duplicates using PSE 6:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Find_and_delete
    The advantage of this method is that you can control which duplicate you want to delete based on catalog information (e.g. one duplicate may have been tagged, the other not).  And you don't need to worry about reconnecting files after you delete.
    This method requires that all the files be imported into your PSE 6 catalog.

  • All Photos in library are "offline or missing"

    All photos say that the file is either offline or missing in LR4.  Cannot export or do anything with any photos in library.  I cannot find the files anywhere on the computer. Need help.

    A-M:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions and Merry Christmas (hope this doesn't ruin your Christmas).I get "Unreadable Files
    That message comes up because you're trying to import a file that is inside the iPhoto Library folder. That can't be done. That file is the file where your album information is stored. It belongs there. Don't mess with it.
    First make a duplicate of your iPhoto Library folder - select it and type Command-D. Now launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all the options except the last one regarding the orphaned files. That should rebuild your library and keep most of your organizational efforts intact. You may have some files that end up in a "Recovered" roll and/or album. See if that doesn't work. Good luck.

  • Aperture album contents not all showing on Apple TV photos; random photos missing

    Only noticed this problem by chance when searching for a particular set of photos while viewing Aperture photos via an Apple TV 2. Some Albums are fine others have a random number of photos missing (compared with viewing in Aperture itself) with as little as one photo being shown when there are hundreds in the Album. Any suggestions/ideas as to whether the problem may a set up issue or systematic?

    You may not have previews built for the photos that are not showing up. Select all the pictures in the Album that is not displaying all photos, right click while holding the mouse over one of the selected photos, and then select "update previews". After Aperture has built previews for all the photos in that album, you may have to quit Aperture before they will all show up on the AppleTV (when you quit Aperture you will see a progress bar saying "updating sharing preferences", or something to that effect).
    If there is a way to get Aperture to update sharing preferences without quiting, will someone reply to the method to achive this? So far, quiting is the only way I have discovered to force Aperture to update the sharing prefs.
    Let us know if this works. Usually photos not showing up outside of Aperture is caused from not having previews built for those photos.

  • Photos missing but when searching all photos in finder they are there

    Not long ago i noticed that all my photos after july 20th were missing. The next thing that was there was an update i did just 2 days ago which was the end of august at the time. So almost 1 month was missing out of my iphotos photos. I didnt know what to do and 1 day my wife was searching for a photo that did not show up in iphoto but in the finder under all photos its there. The data file the original and the modified photo full size are all there. in the folder date they should be in.
    I have tried rebuilding the iphoto database and nothing changes. I can open these photos in preview just fine i can email them to people i just can not see them in iphoto.
    I deleted my entire ilife 08 and reinstalled it from the DVD. that did not change anything
    I dont want to lose these photos but i cant figure out why they do not show in iphoto yet they are in the iphoto folder where they should be.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Remove all "Photo is missing"

    Hi.
    I have a huge (+20000 pictures) library, where I would like to get rid of all "Photo is missing" thumbs.
    The original pictures were moved or deleted outside of LR (3.3).
    What is the quickest way to delete all of these thumbs without selecting everyone individually?
    Thanks,

    Hi.
    I choose the "Library" tab and find the option "Find Missing Photos" inside the "Edit" menu.
    Is this correct?
    I didn't see anything there ... ?!
    Thanks,

  • All photos album missing

    Hi,
    I am using iPhone 5 with iOS 8.0.2. Yesterday I realized that I cant view "All photos album" in Photos app. There are just
    the album Recently Added and other default albums. Of course i can list all albums I created, but I cannot view older pictures
    that are not in any albums.
    For "All photos album" i mean the Camera roll album.

    @tamarafromroseburg
    You can access it if you select "Photo" mode in Photos application instead of "Album" mode on the bottom of the app.
    But there is a lot to scroll because photos are sort by date...:/

  • I need to know how to download all photos AND videos from 2 "libraries" within Adobe Revel. Please help.

    I was quite angered last night when I posted the first time, so lets try this again:
    Here is my setup:  I have adobe Revel on my Mac and iOS devices and it has worked quite well to be honest until I recently realized my photos and videos are basically trapped within the software. There is no way (that I am aware) to export all photos/videos or any kind of tool to pull the raw data out of the app and put it into say iPhoto or Lightroom.
    Since I am not a fan of this sort of lock-in, (something I despise and encourage companies never to do), I am sadly going to cancel my Revel account once I get this sorted and store my photos elsewhere. This is a huge missed opportunity for Adobe, as the money is not an issue - its simply that the quality of service I need just doesn't seem to be there for this product.
    So here is what I am trying to achieve:  I simply want every one of my photos and videos to store on my hard drive like the old days.  I don't care about folders or hirarcy or any kind of organization - I can do that with the metadata later. I simply want all of my things. 
    My hang up is in that I have already tried methods like "Show package contents" in the photos/adobe revel route and that works to an extent, but is incredibly cumbersome as I have to sift through all of the many folders.  If that were the worst of it, I might be ok.  But what is truly alarming and making this difficult is that I don't know where on earth the videos in Revel are actually stored.  They show up in the application and I could export them one by one but I literally have hundreds.  I can't find the actual files on my Mac anywhere.
    Is there anyone at all who can help with this?  The goal is to make this transition fairly easy and I feel that Adobe has very intentionally made it very difficult to consider leaving. I spend >$50/month on Adobe services and I am a little in shock this application seems so poorly designed for anything other than just dropping your photos into it.  Please, please help if you can.  I would be so grateful as Adobe customer service doesn't seem to know or care much about supporting this product.

    Hi KDT
    Yeah. I agree, if you are used to a situation where "it's on the cloud AND synced down to your hard disk where you can get it" Revel is not exactly that. There were legacy decisions behind that - most not as sinister as you might think but I won't bore you with those details.  AND yes you are correct. We currently don't have any way for you to wholesale download everything at once. So you aren't missing anything. Until we provide that mechanism I can provide some guidance.
    I'm going to assume you have the current version of Revel on your Mac which is 2.0.
    The easiest thing for you to do will be to export your files manually. You can actually select a range of files and export. So it's not a one by one thing.
    You'll have to decide how best to perform the selection based on your photography habits. If you tend to take batches of files surrounding specific dates. You could do it by date. In the date view (In the applications upper right "Showing: Dates"). If you look at the end of a date row you'll see a small grid. If you click that grid you are taking into a grid view of just that date. If you select all and file>export you'll export the contents of that date.
    The other option is remaining in Grid view (In the applications upper right "Showing:Grid") and perform a shift+selection where you select your first file, move down the desired range and while holding shift you select a second file (standard multi-select stuff).
    One thing to keep in mind as you do this. You'll notice when you export you can export original or 'current version'. Export original does just that. Exports unedited original versions of your images as they were uploaded to us. When you export the current version of an image we'll export a rendition of the edited image. This "current version" image is not the original and in most cases will be a rendition that is not the same size as the original. So keep that in mind as you proceed.
    Not ideal, I fully realize, but I do hope it gets you closer to having your images back on your hard disk as you desire.
    As for your subscription. Assure you have checked your iOS Appstore subscription settings and set Revel to not auto-renew. Unfortunately for a pro-rated refund on the subscription balance you no longer desire you'll need to work with Apple as they hold the purse strings for Appstore purchases. Refunds haven't been a problem in the past so you should have no issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • Upgraded to 8.0.2 on 5. Lost all photos in camera roll and photo stream.  I used a recovery tool that shows the photos are still in there 'somewhere' but they want $70 to recover them.  Any free methods? I shouldn't have to pay for Apple's screw up!

    Also, I did a backup on iTunes before the upgrade but after the upgrade completed, it performed a backup that overwrote the last one I did.  At least I think it did, there is only one backup showing up in the MobileSync-Backup folder on my computer.  Also, in iTunes on the bottom of the screen, the bar that shows how much storage space is being used by what, its number of pics is several hundred more than the number of pics on my phone.  The ones it didn't erase were in a different album that I had uploaded from my computer (ironic that the pics that I didn't lose in the upgrade, I already have copies of on my computer). Anyhow, I used a trial version of recovery program called Wondershare Dr.Fone for ios, and while I'm definately not here to promote them, after it did the scan on my iphone, it showed thumbnails of all the missing photos, along with everything else I'd ever done on my phone lol. So I do know they are in there, I just can't afford to pay $70 to retrieve them, nor do I think I should have to as the upgrade caused them to be missing!  Does anyone know of a free recovery tool? I never used iCloud, so that is not an option either.

  • IPhoto 11: How to view "all photos" while in full screen mode

    In iPhoto, when it's not in full screen mode, if you click photos in the sidebar (under Library), you get a nice view of ALL your photos, and you have the option to sort them by event. When you go from this view straight to full screen mode, it stays this way, which in my case is particularly useful since I like to move photos around from event to event. However, staying in full screen mode, as soon as I click an any other of the menus at the bottom (events, faces, places, albums, projects), I cannot find anyway to get back to the "all photos" view, other than to take it OUT of full screen mode, click on "Photos" in the side bar, and then go back to full screen mode. Either I am missing something that is glaringly obvious, or this is a rather annoying oversight by Apple. It seems like it would be natural to have "Photos" be one of the options along with Events, Faces, Places, Albums and Projects in full screen mode. Right now the only work around I've been able to come up with (aside from going back and forth with fullscreen mode), and to hit "command F" while in full screen mode, and then type "i", which will give me what I am want only because all my photos start with "i". Not a very elegant work around, I know, but perhaps I am missing something very obvious.
    Thanks for any advice!
    James

    In case my description isn't clear, here is a screenshot of exactly the view in full screen mode I am talking about  that I can't seem to return to once I leave it, other than to go back to non full screen mode or use the search trick.

  • Photos missing from iPhoto/TM backup but with a twist.....

    So, there is a challenging twist associated with this case of missing photos and I hope an expert can provide some advice. Note: This is not related to upgrading from iPhoto '09 to '11 thank goodness!
    Here is the story in condensed form, with additional details below:
    MBP stolen but backed up with TM
    Used TM on the replacement MBP to browse backup of iPhoto backup of stolen MBP
    Restored iPhoto library to new MBP
    Open iPhoto on new MBP and browse library
    Everything looks OK except *FIVE* Events which show in the Event viewer as blank grey squares. However, the Events have the correct titles and show the correct number of pictures in brackets in the title. In addition, using the trackpad to scroll over the Event there are no thumbnails visible. If I click on the Event all the photos are greyed out but they do have the correct titles and keywords below the grey boxes. If I click on an individual photo I get a black exclamation mark in a grey circle. Interestingly the LAST IMPORT folder in iPhoto DOES show the thumbnails for ALL the missing pictures, all arrange with the correct Event titles. Of course, clicking on any individual picture gives me the same exclamation mark detailed above.
    After reading these support forums I have tried the following:
    1) Viewed package contents ---> the blank Events DO NOT show up as folders in the Finder window
    2) Used COMMAND & OPTION to launch iPhoto and checked the following boxes in the REBUILD DIALOG BOX: rebuild small thumbnails/rebuild all of the photos' thumbnails/recover orphaned photos/examine and repair permissions ---> Issue persists
    3) Download iPhoto Manager and tried EXTRACTING all the photos from the library --> Photos from missing events still not showing up. Not really surprising given that the VIEW PKG. CONTENTS in #1 above didn't show them either.
    4) Used iPhoto Manager to REBUILD LIBRARY --> still doesn't show them
    5) Used TM to browse the backup directly --> missing photos have blank placeholders only.
    It appears for what ever reason the photos have been deleted from the backup. I say "deleted", as opposed to "not backup up", because iPhoto has the remnants of the photos (i.e, Events, thumbnails, titles, keyword, etc.). Any suggestions on how to possibly recover these missing pictures. How about the thumbnail versions at least, even in their their low resolution form. Although, I admit I don't know how/where thumbnails are dealt with in iPhoto as they don't seem to show up in the Library package contents.
    Additional info:
    OSX 10.7.5, iPhoto '09 is version 8.1.2, and iPhoto library is 75GB, 139 Events, 28,000 pics
    The day before the MBP was stolen I downloaded a number of photos and did some editing. That night plugged the MBP in and noticed that the Time Machine did a number of backups through the night, although the iPhoto library seems untouched but can't be sure. The following morning, the computer was used for a few hours and thus had plenty of time to complete any backups necessary.
    The *FIVE* Events that are affected seem to be the most recent ones, worked on the night before the MBP was stolen.

    I cannot say for certian but it is highly likley that YES, when the person finished editing they just closed the lid of the computer and didn't actually quit iPhoto. So would this explain why there are fragmenst of them in the backup (i.e. Events, keywords, thumbnails, etc.) but not the actual image files? Any way I can at least save the extremely low res thumbnail versions?
    I'm also going to try Data Rescue on the camera memory card to try and recover them that way.
    Thanks.

    I've been reading all the descriptions about the difference between the "Photos" library as we were familiar with in iPhoto and the "All Photos" album that Photos has and I think I understand even if I disagree with the logic. I have a different problem. I took about 35 pictures with my DSLR today and inserted the SD card into my iMac and since I am still using iPhoto, I imported the pictures into iPhoto first and then opened Photos to import them. I went to the Photos library (at the top of the sidebar menu) and the pictures weren't there. I looked in the "All Photos" album and they were there. I also had several scans that I dragged into Photos and they appeared in both Photos and the All Photos album. When I checked the number of items in both the photos and all photos they matched but I looked through Photos and couldn't find the new pictures. They seem to be somehow hidden. What am I missing?

    The FAVOURITES and PANOS albums also sort by date and time too. So all the albums sort by time and day except the ALL PHOTOS album! Seems very strange! What's even odder is that the date range listed at the top of the ALL PHOTOS album would suggest that they are sorted by date!
    Apple I hope you SORT this out soon
