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'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 tumbnails, Can't create proxy.

Hello,
I'm new into the FCS support and I do have a problem now with my FinalCutServer version 1.5.2 running on an Xserver with V-trak.
First of all everything was running correctly but after some one did "propagate permissions" on my root harddrive everything was messed up ofcourse.
I was able to create a back-up of the FCS database (production media and proxy media folders are stored on the V-trak).
I did a complete clean install of the server and FCS and did place back the backup.
Everthing works fine now but the only problem is that I can't see any thumbnails, when I rightclick on an image and click on View Original that all works perfect. When I click in the top and then at the left the landscape looking icon I get the error message that he can't create a proxy.
This also happens with new images that go into FCS.
I did already try to right-click on an image and then Analyze or re-create proxy but none of that works.
Is there anyone who can help me or that have the same issues after restoring a back-up?
Kindest regards,
Luc Janssen
Update: Maybe important to know, my Proxies.bundle is empty.

Sounds like propagating the permissions is what screwed you up, as I'm sure you're aware. That's something that has to be adjusted in the Server Admin app, not in FCSvr. How does FCSvr connect to the storage? Whatever user it's connected as needs to have read/write access to your proxies bundle and also the directory in which it lives. It looks like it doesn't have write access, which explains why it's empty, so proxies/thumbnails/poster frames cannot be generated. Go to the "Search All Jobs" list and see what it says when you try to generate a proxy or thumbnail - I'm guessing you'll see a bunch of FAIL's. Open one of the jobs and look for the error message - I'm betting you'll see something to the effect of "Could not be created: Permission denied."
Permissions changes can really screw your distribution up - I find that permissions issues are what plague my own distribution almost weekly. If you have a distribution where your users have Finder-level access to the storage that FCSvr is cataloging, you may have situations where your users will create folders and files that FCSvr doesn't have write or even read access to, because of various reasons (maybe the user copied the folder/file from elsewhere, maybe their umask is 022, etc). That can lead to wanting to use Server Admin's "Propagate Permissions" functionality, which if used improperly can cripple your entire distribution.
Good luck.

Several months ago I kept getting prompted to "update" my iphoto library. I finally gave in and clicked on the update button and EVER SINCE THEN, ALL of my photos have been 'grayed out' and I can't see ANY of them unless I click on the photo and open it

Several months ago, I kept getting prompted to 'update' my iphoto library. When I finally clicked on the 'update' button, it 'greyed out' ALL of my photos. Now ALL of my photos are grayed out and I can't see ANY of my pictures unless I click on each grayed out photo individually and open them, ALL of the thumbnails are greyed out. It is THE WORST!! I have no idea how to fix this problem and its been MONTHS AND MONTHS of *** pain. Anyone?? Please help!!!
Thanks so much!!!

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
and please tell us what version of iPhoto and of the OS you have

Try user folder/Movies.

HT1338 I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

One computer can't see any other iPhoto shared libraries

My Powerbook can't see any other computer's shared iPhoto libraries. However, all my other computers can see its iPhoto library.
All computers are running the same version of iPhoto.
I posted this in the iPhoto forum, but I'm reasonably sure this is a networking problem. Why? If I create another user on my Powerbook, it can see all the other shared libraries. So, the problem exists on only one account on one computer. I think there is a corrupt system setting in that account's ~/Library/ somewhere. Any suggestion which file it is? I've already dragged out likely culprits to no avail.
I have no problem sharing iTunes libraries; that works fine. So do file transfers to and from.
Here's what else I've done:
Verified iPhoto Preferences is set to "Look for shared photos" and "Share my photos" (obviously).
Tried requiring a password, and not requiring a password
Verified System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall has "iPhoto Bonjour Sharing" checked.
Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iApps.plist
Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.digihub.plist
Turned off Little Snitch
Quit / restarted iPhoto a few times
Logged in / out, rebooted a few times
Researched iPhoto Help
Researched the discussion boards
Repaired permissions on both (as you can see, I'm resorting to voodoo tactics)
Dragged my iPhoto Library out of ~/Pictures and created a brand new empty library (more voodoo)
Googled the problem
Posted this topic
That's all I can think of to do.
So... what haven't I done?

If iPhoto works for one user on a computer, it ought to work for all users. So the program itself can't possibly be a problem. Right?
Apparently not. I deleted iPhoto, and reinstalled it. That fixed the problem for the one recalcitrant account.
The problem with voodoo is that sometimes, it works.

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.

HT2518 I did the all of it and it transfered but can't see any of it even my iTunes library still empty where is al my data?

I transfered my pc to my Mac but I can't see any pictures or music mi iTunes library is empy! What can I do?

1 - iPhoto never forces you to upgrade - any upgrade of the software is initiated by you
2 - what version of iPhoto did you have? What version did you upgrade to? What version of the OS do you have?
3 - what exactly happens when you launch iPhoto?
4 - with no backup it is just a matter of time until you lose all of yoru files including your photos - thing do happen and with no backup you are 100% guarenteed to lose everyhing sooner or later
as a wild guess backup, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your iPhoto library database

When I click on the App Store I can only see "games" at the top of the screen, I can't see any Apps?

Recently I have noticed that when I click on the App Store on my iPad it defaults to "games" at the top of the screen and I can't see any new apps? Previously it defaulted to Apps and you had to chose "games" but now it seems to default to games and I don't know how to view apps without searching for the specific one?

I am surely missing something very simple, and hopefully Ralph will see it, but no matter what I do, I cannot replicate what you are seeing, try something I recommend time and again. CLose the App Store app and reboot your iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the App Store app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Can't rename any events in iphoto 8.0

I can access the titles but it won't let me type anything.

See this thread: Can't edit 'Event name' in iPhoto
. It discusses several ways to do that.
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 not see any Data in OKE.OKE_K_FUND_ALLOCATIONS

I am looking in this table with SQLPlus and TOAD and can not see any rows.

Hi Hussein;
First I ran:
select fu.user_name, fr.responsibility_name
, fu.user_id, fr.responsibility_id resp_id
, furg.responsibility_application_id resp_appl_id, furg.security_group_id sec_group_id
from apps.fnd_user_resp_groups furg
, apps.fnd_user fu
, apps.fnd_responsibility_vl fr
where furg.user_id = fu.user_id
and upper(fu.user_name) = upper('&User_Name')
and furg.responsibility_id = fr.responsibility_id
order by 1, 3
Passing in SYSADMIN
Taking this row:
SYSADMIN,General Ledger Super User,0,20434,101,0
I ran:
I ran exec fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE (0,20434,101,0);
I still get no rows returned.
Is thier a way in the App to ensure the SYSADMIN,General Ledger Super User can see this data? Or am I missing something else?

I set up Firefox sync from my old computer. This has had its hard drive replaced and been sold. I now want to retrieve the information and got my bookmarks on my new computer. I can't see any way to do this!

Help please

To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.
