Can't view photos in iPhoto, but they are in my last imported photos

Hello,
I have been able to upload photos from my camera onto my iphoto and view them as normal and create events. I've uploaded some more but now they are just coming up in my last imports and i cannot view them as there is a caution symbol with an exclamation mark. I can still see them as small thumbnails but that's it, i cannot do any photo sharing and creating an event.
Once i imported the photos it comes up with a keep photos or delete and i selected the delete option same as the other times. Someone please help so these photos don't get lost. They are only in my last imported photos.
Thanks

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.

  • I synced ipod to itunes (windows), it removed all my single purchased songs. I can see the songs in itunes, but they are gray

    I synced ipod to itunes (windows), itunes removed all my single purchased songs from my iphone. I can see the songs in itunes, but they are gray and I can't move them back to my iphone or to any other device.  I can't play them on the computer in itunes, I can't move them back to my iphone (where original purchase was made), and I can't move them into another ipod.

    I had the Itunes store do this to one song out of three I downloaded. I went back to the Itunes store and reclicked on the song to download it again. It ran the download again and got the complete song this second time. Then I just resynced with my Itunes and all is fixed.

  • I keep hearing that I can't email videos from iPhoto because they are too big. What I don't understand is that I was able to send videos via email in the past. Why?

    I keep hearing that I can't email videos from iphoto because they are too big. What I don't understand is that I have emailed videos via email in the past. Why is that?

    Look at your settings iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts
    and make changes here or add your email account if not in the list
    One thing to look at for sure is the SMTP sever name, I think by default it fills it in as smtp.me.com  or some such,  which may not be your email outgoing server.

  • What is the easiest way to sort photos within an album.  I have photos from a trip but they are all mixed up.  Photos from one part of the trip are showing up in other parts.  Please help.

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop and am trying to use iPhoto.  I uploaded pictures but they uploaded out of order.  Photos taken from different locations on my trip are all mixed up and I would like to sort them in chronological order.  Things I have tried have been time consuming and often take several attempts before the moved photo "takes" to its new location within the album.  If anyone can provide step by step instructions for this senior, it would be very much appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Can dld newer versions of Frfx but they are not getting installed?

    I am able to dld newer versions of firefox but they are not getting installed ... Currently 'about firefox' shows my version to be 27.0.1 but when I go into the troubleshooting option it shows I have version 28.0 and 29.0 in my update history. Please advise. Thanks

    Hi Irishman,
    Have a go at the suggestions that follow and then post back with how you get on.
    Obviously I have seen your post, and sorry you are having problems. Unfortunately this is likely to be because you did not take enough care on the Internet. It is all too easy to go to bad websites and pick up malware that once downloaded does things you may not like or expect.
    <u>Explanation </u><br />
    '''This is not anything to do with Mozilla Firefox''', other than it is the browser in use. Such software is not bundled with or downloaded with Firefox installs or upgrades. <br /> ( You may get an option of thumbnails in otherwise blank spaces in newtabs in a version of Firefox later this year but that is a different subject)
    Finding such adware may be problematic, after all it is either downright malware which will try its best to evade being found and uninstalled, or it is adware that a minority of people actually like and deliberately download and install, usually after clicking small print saying this will happen.
    <u>Suggestions to try to Uninstall or Remove Adware</u>
    First thing to try, check which search engine is selected ? <br /> Because this is so simple and could have an effect it is worth checking what Search engine is selected for the Firefox Searchbar. You may have changed that, or software may have,and that will affect other searches including those from the address bar and the start page. All you need to do is click the little downward pointing arrowhead in the search bar and check what is in use and what is available. In most countries Firefox uses Google by default.
    Check the shortcut Icons - has an address been added ? <br> Right click the icon on the desktop used to start Firefox has an address been tacked on to the end of that. If something has changed that Firefox goes to that address as it starts up. For comparison use a run command directly. In Windows & with Firefox not already open Use keyboard shortcut Winkey+Run then when you get the run option key in ''firefox.exe'' & hit return. That will run Firefox without any extra instruction.
    Adware removal<br />
    I you have got adware, or unwanted software especially if it also affects other browsers (So check the use of Internet Explorer) look for anything unexpected installed in the Windows OS, use the Windows Control Panel. especially if only Firefox is affected check what is installed as extensions and plugins by using the addons manager.
    * USE '''New button -> Addons ''' <br /> Or navigate to ''about:addons'' ,by keying that into the addressbar
    * Also see
    ** [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
    **And this slightly dated article [[What to do when searches take you to the wrong search website]]
    I will make a follow on post detailing malware removal steps. Note it is important to use up to date and multiple tools, not just your one favourite. No single tool detects everything. This one is particularly useful with adware problems

  • Deleted videos from iphoto but they are still showing up in the finder?

    I deleted all of my videos from iPhoto and moved them to an external hard drive because I wanted to free up some space on my MacBook Air.  The files are no longer visible in the iPhoto application, but for some reason, when I look at the storage space on my computer, it is still showing that I have 8GB of movies on my computer.  If I search in the Finder, it is showing that a lot of these videos that I deleted from iPhoto are still in a "Masters" folder in iPhoto.  I am confused, though, because if I open iPhoto, the videos are not in there.  I want these video files to be deleted for good - can I just go in to the "Masters" folder in the Finder and delete them there?  I've read not to delete anything from iPhoto in the Finder, though. So, getting very frustrated because I'm not sure why these files aren't fully deleted off my computer. Any suggestions?

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Can not import videos to iPhoto but they are on my desktop

    Hi I have just changed from a pc to a mac mini. I put all my photos and videos onto a samsung hard drive then dropped that file into my documents on the mac. I then imported all the photos and some videos to i photo.
    I photo then came up with a error message saying wrong file format this is really annoying me is there a easy fix for this?
    If they do go over will they go into the right events or will I need to do that manually.
    Any help would be great.

    I photo then came up with a error message saying wrong file format this is really annoying me is there a easy fix for this?
    What's the file format? Not all video codecs are supported by iPhoto.
    If they do go over will they go into the right events or will I need to do that manually.
    What are the 'right' events? If you drag a folder in from the Finder it will make an event of that folder.

  • Photos: Shared tab shows "No Shared Photos or Videos" but they are there

    After taking photos on my iPhone, I have created many shared photo streams using my iPad and I have always used the iPad to view them.  But for some reason, now they don't appear on the iPad when I go into Photos app and tap on the Shared icon at the bottom.  All it see is "No Shared Photos or Videos" instead of the 15 or so shared streams I have.
    All my shared streams appear both on the iPhone and on my two Windows computers with iCloud.
    Any thoughts about what could be going on?

    If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    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 File ➙ 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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    That is normal for photos synced from a computer to a phone using iTunes. Synced photos were never placed in the Camera Roll. Additionally since iOS 8 there is no Camera Roll: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/19/goodbye-camera-roll-where-to-find-your -photos-in-ios-8

  • When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

    When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

    If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow.  However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

  • I have photos with the same numer but they are different photos how can I fix that?

    I have photos with same names but they are different photos. Can I rename these photos ? How can I do this?

    you can save a file with the same name by dragging and dropping from iphoto to a Finder folder
    but (and there are always buts) you can only do up to 4 photos at a time
    any more and you are not given the option
    This is the error message you get:
    An item named “IMG_8770.JPG” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re moving?
    4 or lesss  your options are:
    Keep Both       Stop       Replace
    5 or more your options change
    Skip     Stop    Replace
    it will add a space and a 2 to the name
    IMG_8816.JPG  turns to IMG_8816 2.JPG
    this is the solution I was looking for; let the computer do the name change
    Cheers!
