Can't see all my photos when I open iphoto

I just downloaded a bunch of pictures to iphoto, but I cannot see them when I start iphoto. I know they are in iphoto b/c I can find them when I go to the pictures/iphoto folder in the HD, but they just don't appear anywhere when I open iphoto. Any suggestions?
thanks.

After the import, were you ever able to see those photos from inside iPhoto? Did the app crash during or after the import?
Some ways to look for them:
Click "Last Roll" in the Source Pane (left column). You should see the photos from the most recent import.
Each import creates a Film Roll. Select "Library" from the Source Pane, turn on "Film Rolls" in the View menu, and look for the roll that was imported on the date in question. The film roll will have the same name as the folder which contains these photos inside the iPhoto Library folder, which is what you were looking at when you located your pictures in the Finder.
When you found those files using the Finder, did you change anything inside the iPhoto Library folder? If you renamed the folder there, it would cause iPhoto to lose track of the photo's location. If you did make changes inside that folder, you'll have to change it back to the way it was.
Regards.

    You're going to have to describe your network configuration in rather more detail, and start segmenting the problem space into smaller hunks.
    If your network is larger or externally managed or otherwise outside your bailiwick, go talk to your local networking group. It's quite easy to have a subnet router instantiate or a vLAN change made and have the results block the mDNS traffic. mDNS traffic doesn't typically pass across subnets; across IP routers. It's also feasible for a firewall to block mDNS traffic. And managed switches can also get involved here, even if you're not running vLANs.
    It's distinctly possible there's also some sort of a local problem, but if multiple or all computers everywhere here stop showing mDNS, start looking for the commonality; for the common factor(s).
    mDNS is also variously known as Zeroconf and Bonjour.

  • Terrance Devlin answered a question about iPhoto (4-2012) re:copying iPhoto Library to an ExHD, and losing all the albums. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button. Can anyone help?

    I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
    Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
    Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
    First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.

    Can anyone help? I'm using iPhoto 5. My MAC is an OS X version 10.4.11.
    thanks, brokenlom

    Here are Apple's instructions:
    If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
    Click Choose Library.
    Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
    (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
    Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

  • Is there a way to make PSE 13 NOT open all my photos when I open the program?

    Is there a default location when I can change it so that when I open PSE 13 Organizer it does not open all the photos in the Album?  I would rather that It just opened the Folders and let me choose which file to open.  I have Windows 7 if that makes any difference.  thanks...

    Is it the same question than in this post ?

  • Can't see all Aperture photos

    In iMovie '08 (7.1.4), I'm trying to use photos from Aperture (2.1.2). I can see and use all of my Aperture photos in the iMovie Photo Viewer except my most recent Aperture project. I have over 1000 photos in that project and can see them in Aperture but only 10 are showing in that project looking at it from iMovie. It seems to be a random 10 photos. None are rated, have any other odd keywords, or are any different format that my other Aperture Projects that are showing from iMovie.
    I have re-started and re-booted all applications and my computer several times.
    Any ideas?

    Never mind- I figured out the problem.
    I "Updated Previews" in Aperture and now I can see them all in iMovie.

    First thing... do a simple reboot: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Now, is that screen viewable?

    It is possible to reset the zoom size.Have you tried [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages|Firefox's zoom feature]]? This will help increase the size of web pages.
    * To make things bigger, press '''Ctrl''' and '''&#43''' at the same time.
    * To make things smaller, press '''Ctrl''' and '''-''' at the same time.
    * To reset the size back to normal, press '''Ctrl''' and '''0''' at the same time.
    You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    '''Using NoSquint:'''
    #After installing NoSquint, make sure you have the Add-on Bar displayed:
    #*Right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    #Click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    #*You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but it's not recommended that you go higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
    Please let us know if this helped you!
    Thank you.

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto.  The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all.  How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto.  Thanks

    To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.
