Can't see all thumbnails in iPhoto library

Suddenly, when I tab over to the photos tab, I no longer see all the thumbnails in my iPhoto library. Some of them come up, most of them don't. I have tried trashing the iMovie .plist, run Diskwarrior, and rebuilt permissions. When I open iPhoto, all of the thumbnails are there and everything looks fine, only a problem when I try to access them through iMovie.
Also, when I log in as another user, everything seems to work fine!! Runnning iMovie 5.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.3 Help!

Download and use  Find Any File  to search for a file named "Library6.iPhoto".  It's a file that is in every iPhoto library.  FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages.  If your library is somewhere on the hard drive FAF will find it.

  • Can't see any thumbnails in iPhoto

    The only thumbnails I can see are those of phtotos I have just uploaded. However when I try to rebuild thumbnails even the ones I could see disappear. I have tried both thumbnail rebuild options, I have moved the slider. The photos are there but without the thumbnails one of the main features of iPhoto is lost. I am running iPhoto '09 on OS 10.8.2 on a 21.5" iMac. It's driving me mad!

    Give this a try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, 
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Can not See All of my Music Library on the play list

    I accidently moved my music library (My documents/My music/my itunes...)
    When I moved it back, iTunes does not see all the song (over 2000). It only see the purchased music. I can use the Add to Library function (In the File menu) and add each song, song by song and I have added a few dozen songs back to the play list. So all the music is there, in the directory, Just can not get iTunes to recogize them.
    ANY suggestions to adding the whole library back at once.
    Thanks

    Do you at least have the little ! (exclamation point) next to the "missing" songs?
    I just had the same thing happen to me, but mine occurred simply by upgrading to the latest version of iTunes... in the process it "lost" about half of my music.
    I simply unchecked "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" under prefrences/advanced tab.. hit "OK", then went back in and re-checked it, hit OK and iTunes began "organizing" my library and miraculously iTunes found all of the missing music.
    There are some decent articles about moving your iTunes library on the support site. They don't always work as advertised, but you're pretty much stuck with My Documents/My Music/iTunes on Windows.
    You may be able to reverse things by following those instructions as well.

  • IPhoto browser can't see all photos in iPhoto

    When i use the iPhoto Browser only about half of the photos in iPhoto show up. I've seen some posts of similar issues but no clear resolution. Any ideas?

    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.

  • Help - 2nd user account cannot see all pictures in iPhoto library

    For some reason, if my son logs into his account and brings up iPhoto, he can only see images through 2009. I'm lost on this one. Any ideas to try? Thanks!

    Figured this one out the more I looked at it - bottom line is the other account was somehow still pointing at an old library on an external HD. That's not really what I was wanting though.
    I've posted my need as a separate topic here- please advise. Thanks!

  • Can't see photos after moving iphoto library to new imac.

    The info for each picture and folder is there but there is not thumbnail or image.  Any help? 

    Then  apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    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 Home/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.

    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I can't see image thumbnails in my library.

    not able to view thumbnails to edit . i set the image size to 12 megs file size and that didn't help. the pics are jpegs. the app will open the file and then I can see the pic. but it isn't the one I want.
    thanks,
    BottomShark

    Thanks for getting back on this. Not sure of the algorithm but I take it the application copies my photos before you can view them because as time past I noticed I was able to view more and more of my photos and now I can view all the photos on my phone. The application itself is wonderful. It allows me to quickly enhance my photos prior to sharing them with family and friends. I was able view photos on my phone and then open them with Photoshop touch and save changes to my phone. Now everything is working. Thanks again from another satisfied customer.

  • Why I can't see ALL my photostream on iPhoto???

    This is the thing, I have 1,000 photos on my photo stream, but on iPhoto I se only 290. How can I see ALL OF THEM. You wanna know something? iPhoto is not easy to use.

    Thanks a lot for your reply Larry. I think I got it, but the way iPhoto and photo stream work really *****, it should be easier, just using Picture folder to storage all the pictures imported as a regular photo file, not IN the iPhoto library, that's so stupid. So, I will change the configuration and use Image Capture instead iPhoto.
    Thanks.

  • How can I see all photo miniatures when I open a photo album or an event in iphoto?

    How can I see all photo miniatures when I open a photo album or an event in iphoto?

    Note the zoom slider at the bottom of th iPhoto Window - drag it left.

  • I can't see my events from iPhoto (11 - 9.3.1). Only one event is in my library (the first one). The others events disapear!!

    I can't see my events from iPhoto (11 - 9.3.1). Only one event is in my library (the first one) and the last import that I made in iphoto is the first one . The others events disapear!! What can be happen? Please, someone could help me?

    I tried to do shift + alt + command - option
    That's not what I suggested...
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto.
    Restore from your back up is the easiest solution.

  • How Can I Display the Name of iPhoto Library?

    I manage a huge number of images so I keeep them in their own iPhoto libraries. In order to change libraries, I have to rename the one I have just left and then restart iPhoto. I have looked for years but cannot find a way for iPhoto to display the name of the library it has open. I could remember the names of all my libraries if I was not forced to change them in order to leave them and go to another. Does iPhoto tell you the name of the library you have open?
    Thanks

    Hi John,
    iPhoto 6 now shows the name of the library in the title bar of the iPhoto window. At least it did the other day for me.
    You can have a unique name for each of your libraries and use the Option key to launch iPhoto and choose to open another library, then navigate to the library, highlight it and click open.
    You can also use one of the iPhoto Library managers to switch between libraries.

  • Can not see all the clips in large Icon view in my bin

    I arranged my clips in a bin in large Icon view but i can not see all the clips in the bin while in that mode. I see the clips when in list mode or when i drag them out of the bin into the main bin. As soon I drag them back in large icon view bin they do not show up, when going back in list view they are there.
    Any idea
    Also my daughter accidently pulled the electrical plug, which turned my external hard drive off. So the media was off line. I hit reconnect the clip but the clip does not show as connected in the bin it keeps the Media offline icon but putting the clip in the viewer or time line it plays it. So the clip is reconnected
    hope anybody can help with those two issues thanks

    Nick
    thanks for your message it helped to show the clips. Here how I solved it. I put the clips i could not see in large Icon view, to the Project folder. Even in the project folder I was only seeing the clips with Thumbnail in list view. When i hit large Icon view the clips disappeared, and they could not have been lower down as i only have about 5 folders in the project. I then clicked arrange the clip by name and they showed up again. Like that i dragged the clip back in to its bin and it showed up. The reason for going back and forth I arranged the clips manually in the bin before and when hitting arrange by name it spread them to far apart and put the clips not in a sequence I liked.
    for the second part I followed Neil's suggestion it worked.

  • Can't see psd thumbnails in the open dialog box.

    In the open dialog box, the thumbnails for psd files do not show the picture but show an Elements logo instead.  How can I see picture thumbnails for psd files as I do for jpg files?  I found a dng codec on the web site but not a psd codec.  The dng codec doesn't work for psd files.

    Hi,
    Is there any error message when you try to map network Drive manually? It would be better to provide more details about error message.
    Generally speaking, this problem can be caused by Network Connection problem, please make sure your Client PC could access to Network Drive PC.
    In addition, please check Network Drive PC security setting, if there is any firewall policy prevent this operation.
    If still no use, please check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.

    There is no error.  There is no connectivity problem.  THe drives map automatically and always have.  I can open up File Explorer and browse these drives all I want.  I can open up Word and browse to these drives just fine.
    However, when I open certain programs, and click File | Open, the mapped network drives just simply aren't there.  I only see C and D and that's it.

  • Help; I can only synchronize parts of my iPhoto library to my iPad.

    Help; I can only synchronize parts of my iPhoto library to my iPad.
    When I connect my iPad to my iMac using iTunes, I am not able to synchronize all of the library. I have marked off All pictures, events etc., but it only synchronize parets of it. I have plenty of available space, so it is not that.
    Can anybody help?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
