Can't see albums or events

The pane where albums and events show up (on the left) is missing for me. When I add new photos, I can see the events, but I can't see any others. The library is intact--I just can't see the folders or events. Puzzling.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. May be a damage library database file. Rebuild the library as follows: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Select the first three options. If that doesn't resurrect the library post back and well try a couple of other fixes. Also check the tip at the end of my signature. It can help recover from similar damaged database file problems.
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), 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. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

  • Can't see my iPhoto events on Apple TV 2

    Hi,
    In iTunes I selected to show all my pictures from the last 12 months on Apple TV 2. They indeed show up correctly, but all in one album. I want to have my events show up as well. I need to scroll through 3000 pictures to get to the most recent ones at the bottom. It takes ages.
    I'd like to see my events from the last 12 months as well, just like on iPhone/iPad. Any idea how?
    Thanks!
    Jef

    I have also the same problem:
    I can't see older photos events of iPhoto on my Apple TV 2nd Gen. Only recent events are shown and I have selected to see all photos, events and faces from the sharing preferences in iTunes. Does anybody have any idea how to solve it?
    Does anybody with the new iOS beta for developers has tested this issue?

  • I can not see photos neither events preview on Iphoto ! How can i fixe that ? (Machine : MacBook Pro)

    i can not see photos neither events preview on Iphoto ! How can i fixe that ? (Machine : MacBook Pro)

    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. .

    Mirroring is working on my iPad2 and iPhone4S (IOS5) but not on my iPad (ios5) or iPhone 3G (IOS4).
    As I understand it, mirroring is restricted to iPad2 and iPhone4S on ios5.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I make albums from events then delete events without deleting the album?

    Hey, just need a little help!
    How can I make albums from events then delete events without deleting the album?
    Many thanks

    You'll be more likely to get help with this if you ask in the iPhoto forum:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto
    You'll need to tell people what version of iPhoto you have so they can give you correct advice.
    Regards.

  • Can't see albums or library in iPhoto6

    I only see one screen in iPhoto 6 with photos I just uploaded and can't see any of my albums or my library - I don't see my photos in "Pictures" on my laptop either. I see my old albums when I select "share" but can't see any pictures. I think I changed something by accident. Can you help me?

  • I can only see album pictures on Facebook in thumbnail size, when I open the picture it will not load. I can open these pictures on other computers but not mine.

    I cant open album pictures on facebook on my computer, but i can on others. I can see pictures thumbnail size, so I can still see pictures, but when I go to open them to see them full size it will not load or show up.

    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
    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.<br \>
    A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").<br \>
    Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.<br \>
    Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.<br \>
    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.<br \>

  • Can't see album artwork

    Hi
    I have imported about 20 CDs into iTunes but I cannot get the album artwork to show. If I right-click the album in cover flow there's even an option that says "clear downloaded artwork" but I can't see the artwork! Please help........

    Unless you purchase the CDs from ITunes store there won't be any artwork. In iTunes go to Advanced, then "Get Artwork" (make sure you are connected to the internet) and it will go off to iTunes Store and retrieve the artwork. If iTunes Store does not have the artwork, Google the Album name and artist and Amazon should come up. Click on "Images" and there should be some album covers. Drag a cover to the your desktop and open iTunes and drag the cover to the "place artwork here" in the bottom left hand corner of iTunes. If it is a very rare cd, scan the cover and drag it into iTunes.

  • Can't See Albums Within Folder on Shared iPhoto Library

    My G5 is set to share its iPhoto library, and I can see most of the albums from my Ti-Book's iPhoto. But the Ti-Book can't see G5 albums which are located within iPhoto folders. Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks, Will

    I'd like to know the same thing. Why do albums within folders not show up separately when shared?
    I've tried searching for this within the discussion area here, but I frankly find searching here to be very unfulfilling. I'm sure the answer is somewhere, but searching all of the obvious words in various combinations (iphoto shared folders albums) produces mostly garbage results. I also love how including quotes around something prompts quotation marks to appear in the search. Brilliant (sarcasm).

  • Can't see albums in Music app

    OK, strange one this:
    Updated to iOS7 on my iPhone5 last week, so far so good.
    Just today, randomly, the iTunes radio button appeared at the bottom of the music app (where I used to have the 'album' button). The album button has now changed itself so that it now only shows the album I was listening to at the time. I can't see the list of all of my albums.
    Any ideas? I'll post a screen shot to show what I mean:

    Be sure you have iOS 5.1.1 installed on your iPad.
    Then you will find them on genres and then literature!

  • Events vs Albums / Can you turn Albums into Events?

    Argh, which to use?
    I re-installed Leopard and when rebuilding my iphoto library I imported a library with albums and the backup of iphoto 8 that had events. Is there a way to make my albums into events easily?

    Shawn
    You can't nest albums, but you can put them in folders, and you can nest folders...
    1. File -> New Folder. Call it 2007, then drag your January 07 album to it, repeat as necessary.
    2. That sort of organisation is a bit redundant though. You can create Smart Albums based on date, and using the Calendar tool you can find any pic from a particular day, month or year.

  • Can't see my old events

    Hi,
    I can't see any events prior to april 2006. In preferences the two "delete" options never has been marked. I see birthdays though.
    I use Ical 2.04. Any way of getting the old events, and any way I can make it not dissapearing in the future?
    Thanks

  • How can we see if a event is rised or not??

    Hello All,
    Can some one tell me the transaction or a process to see if a event is rised or not.
    I know that we can create and rise the events in SM64 and SM62.
    I want to know if the event is triggered or not.
    Thanks,
    Ravindra.

    What is your Netweaver release? I think from 7.00 on you can see the history in SM62, which in turn is pulling the data from table BTCEVTHISTORY. If you don't have these in your release...then the only idea I have is to check for the start time of jobs that were waiting for this event to occur.

  • How can you see when an event was created?

    Is there a way to see when an event was created in a calendar?

    However, this will have no legal standing - it is not a proof and it trivial to fake. Only carefully set up digital signatures (set up in particular ways) have legal standing (varies by country).

  • Can't see album art in Songs view in iTunes 11, column browser issues

    The column browser is still the most effective way for me to navigate my music, but in iTunes 11 it's only available in Songs view. This kinda makes sense, the column browser would be somewhat redundant in the other views, but Songs view is now missing the album art on the left side, which makes it a lot harder to view my music. This is what it looked like in iTunes 10:
    In iTunes 11 it looks like this:
    The album art was't just pretty, it had a great function of visually separating each of my albums in the list view. Now they all mush together. Sure, I can see the art now in the Artists or Genre view, but not with the column browser. I want to be able to sort by Genre, Artist and Albums - all three. Not one or the other. The column browser is the only way to do this and it just got uglier.
    On top of all this, now if I navigate to a certain place in the column browser and then click on anything else in iTunes, like the Artists view, Movies, Podcasts, etc and then jump back to the column browser, the whole column browser is reset and I've lost my place. This never used to happen in iTunes 10.
    It's like Apple is trying to marginalize the column browser till no-one wants to use it anymore.

    I found this in another discussion about iTunes 11:
    "To view in list/song view with art work on the side
    Go to prefernces >general and uncheck use large text. Go to Artist view > view > options > check group compulations.  then clik on all artists and all you music will appear in list view  with the art work on the left This is great for me as I recognize my music by art work not title, artist, ect..  Wish I could do additional sorts/see info in this view such as date added, BPM, last played ect."
    can you try it and post a screen shot?
