Can't find photos (even in collections) since IOS8

Hello,
Since updating to IOS8, I cannot find my photos.
I looked at the troubleshooting guides on the web and they all say they are in my collections, but they aren't!
I know the photos are there because a third party application that scans the phone to recover files has identified a thumbnail or each picture missing. The only thing is I don't really want to pay the $80 to get it the full version to use it.
I have tried using iCloud to access the photos, but they aren't there.
Why can't I see my photos....how do I get them off my phone?
Please help!

I tried to post a free version of a similar app, but ASC was on strike.

Don't know what to say.
Have you tried dropbox.com? The other app is finding the photos. Ipad has limited sharing. If one app can find things, you would think the others could find them too.
Perhaps you could backup to your computer and get one of those apps that let you look at the backed up data.

IPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them.

iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
what fixes have you tried before coming here?
where is you library located?
how long has this been occuring?
did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

Hi !
I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
That brings me to my question.
How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
Has anybody a good hint for me?
Thomas

You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

IPhoto can not find photo

Upgraded to iphoto 11. then iphoto could not find photos even though they are on my Hard Disk.
Whats up with this?
i manually located the photos one at a time. This is for 400 photos one at a time? this is crazy man.
it should simply go to " all my files" snd grab the photos it needs!
Help. This eats up too much time.

it should simply go to " all my files" snd grab the photos it needs!
It does. You must have a damaged library. You say you upgraded to iPhoto 9 (11). What warning does iPhoto give you when you try to use it?
If you went inside the iPhoto Library package and moved photos around that will damage/corrupt the database that iPhoto uses.i t should simply go to " all my files" snd grab the photos it needs!
Explain what you're seeing and what steps you took to fix the problem. Then we can attempt to suggest an approach to fix the problem.

Can't find photo message

I saved my photos to iPhoto & iPhoto Library. I made some albums, arranged them.
I clicked the pictures on the Photos & in the albums, then i see "Can't find photo".
Even though, i tried to see them in Photos besides the new albums.
I still can't find the original photos.
I imported all my photos to my iMac 21" decktop.
I had no problems before with this.
I tried to share my photos through email & facebook, to few people.
Only couple of them recieved them. I don't want to have this problem no more.
Can anyone help me?
Thx,
Susy.

What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
Do you have a back up?

How can I find an audio book on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when it's set to play in order. Tried setting it to Sync audiobooks but a warning says 'do you want to remove existing songs from other itunes library? and I don't want to do this.

How can I find an audiobook on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when I play in order. When I try to tick Sync audiobooks it asks if I want to continue to remove existing music befoer syncing and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?

Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)? To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar. If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle. Click on Audiobooks there. To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
NOTE: if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list. Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list. You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

ITunes can't find photos to share on apple tv

iTunes can't find photos to share on Apple TV when photos were moved from iPhoto to the new Photos

Thanks for the suggestion Limnos but you're right that's not the answer...
iTunes Match allows 25,000 songs so I don't think apple see 20,000 as outside the design parameters.
Anyway I'll wait in hope that someone can offer a solution to the path that Finder uses for each different connection as that's where the answer lies, that or a way to change the path of the server in iTuens, but all the forums I have looked at suggest you can't do that?

Can't find photo error?

When i try to drag a photo or edit it. They all say "Can't find photo "xxxxxjpg" original cannot be found.
my options are to cancel or look for it. neither works.
any suggestions.

Jerry:
Is this the warning you're getting? If so then it means that you using iPhoto in the alias mode, i.e. not copying the photos into the library folder upon import?
Check iPhoto's advanced preference section and see if it looks like this. If not, then the library just creates alias files pointing to the original's location at the time of import. If that location was the camera and you've subsequently erased the camera you've lost your photos.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't find photo's when trying to sync ipad to itunes

can't find photo's when sycing ipad to itunes

I also am having problems. I have the newest ipad (4 and mini both) and also all software is up to date. My itunes is 11.0.5 which is the most up to date version. First off my ipad has over 7 GB of photos on it which is taking up too much space. I want to delete my Photo Library which is apparently all photos off my laptop that got synced to my ipad. The ipad itself will not allow a delete option in this Photo Library. Additionally the new version of itunes does NOT have a Photo tab or option to click or otherwise which photos to sync. It's as if photos through itunes was removed in their new software version. Anyway...... I can not delete or remove from my ipads the photos that came from my main computer.... the only photos able to be deleted are those that I actually took from my ipad. This is also true for my husbands iPhone 5.... Please help Thank you
