Cant see the pics in iphoto

Hello everyone!Hope all is well!
I've got a macbook pro and it seems like i done something with the iphotoes when i go in i can see the pics ,but when i click on a pic its only show a ! sign;(
what did i do?Is that means all my pics gone?Or is that any ways i can get them back?
Thanks!!!!!

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

  • I loaded some pics from my SD card and then I loaded some from my iPhone. But I am unable to see the pics from my SDcard in iPhotos.

    I loaded some pics from my SD card and then I loaded some from my iPhone. But I am unable to see the pics from my SDcard in iPhotos.

    I think it is 7.1.1 - there was another update today which I've uploaded but it didn't make any difference. It's just the music libary on the 5 that's causing me problems.

  • I can see the pics but when I click on the event itself a HUGE exclamation mark pops up and not my pic.

    OK..this forum help me locate my iPhoto so HOPEFULLY ya'll can help me w/ 1 another issue. When I open an event in iPhoto...I can see the pics but when I click on the event itself a HUGE exclamation mark pops up and not my pic. Its really weird that I can see the pic but cant open it. Hopefully we can correct this issue. Also, if anyone has the energy....pls tell me how I can export from my iphoto-I want to place all my pics on CDs or my external hard drive and when I try to export it says.."unable to export.." I dunno!
    Help PLZZZZZ!
    Lost again,

    The two problems are related.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    And that's why you can't export as well.
    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.

  • I purchased (and have now deleted Aperture from my computer and want to use only iPhoto.  How do I delete Aperture albums but keep the pics in iPhoto?

    I purchased (and have now deleted) Aperture from my computer and want to use only iPhoto.  (Aperture was simply too much program for me.)  How do I delete Aperture albums but keep the pics in iPhoto?  Please accept my apologies in advance if this is a dumber than dumb question.  I simply want all vestiges of Aperture to go away with losing all my albums.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Aperture added  a second view to your library.
    You now have an additional section in your Source list , called events. But this section lists exactly the same events that you are seeing in the "Events" view. Don't delete anything from there, or you will delete your photos. But you can press the "Hide" button to collaps that section. But someday you may want to use this list. It makes it very easy to move photos between events.

  • Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV.  I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on.  I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    You have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

  • I cant see the airplay icon on mi iphone 3gs

    i cant see the icon of airplay on my iphone 3gs i have a iphones 3gs wiht ios 5.1.1 i will like to use the airplay betewm mi iphone 3gs and my itunes on my pc , please help me with this NOTE I dont have a Mac i have PC with W7 but i read that is posible plesase help me , and itunes dont show me the icon , when i had a 3g he show me the icone but i cant see it 

    This is from the "Troubleshooting AirPlay" article:
    Resolution
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Check for the AirPlay icon ( ) in the recently used apps section on your iOS device, or in iTunes on your computer (as in these articles about how to use AirPlay and how to use AirPlay Mirroring). The icon will only appear if your device or computer is logged onto a Wi-Fi network which has an AirPlay-enabled recipient, such as Apple TV (2nd generation or 3rd generation).
    If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon, try one of the following steps:
    Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your devices to confirm).
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).

    YOU can't fix it.  But you can bring it in to Apple for an out of warranty replacement for $199.

    That does not work on model year older then 2010 and really doesn't work on any older then late 2011 models.
    You will need a set of original system dvd disc thjat are always sypplied with every mac sold before Lion came out. Systems older then late release early 2011 models.
    If you don't have them you kcan order a replacement set from apple by calling them. Have the serial number of you mac handy.

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • Cant see the native groups on the forms and reports

    We are migrating 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.1. We recently found the issue after the migration. Even after migrating the users, groups and provisioning using LCM; we cant see the groups in the forms and reports.
    We did the migration for test environment, but didnt encounter this issue.
    For eg, when I click on 'assign access' for a planning form I dont see the group assigned to that form. I can see that group in the shared services with all the provisioning. I can find the group and assign it manually for that form. But it doesn't shows up after the migration.
    I opened the SR with oracle who suggested to bring over the schema and upgrade/register the applications again, as there might not be any groups present when I register the application before.
    We brought over the schema, migrate and register the applications, but the problem still persists.
    Has any one encountered issue like this, I would, I would really appreciate any suggestions.
    thanks

    Thanks for your reply John. I ran the UpdateUsers.cmd utility, but it didnt do anything. I brought over the schema again, updated and registered the application. Everything looks good so far, I can see the groups on dimension access and on the webforms.
    When I run create or refresh security it deletes all the records in HSP_ACCESS_CONTROL. The view link disappears from the planning dimensions and i cant see the groups assigned on the webforms as well.
    Any idea would be highly appreciated.
    thanks
