Changed folders, now all pictures won't appear

Hi,
I was messing around with iPhoto today and decided to change the names of the folders inside my iPhoto library. The way they were set up (by my Mac I guess) was by the date they were taken. I didn't like that at all, so I changed the names of the folders from dates to actual names to help describe what they had inside them.
Now when I go to iPhoto and try to view the pictures, they won't load in the full view. How can I fix this problem?

Hi College Caleb,
Change the names of the folders back to what they were. Hopefully you didn't delete anything or change anything else. Take a look at the screenshot so you can get an ides on what they are supposed to be. To help you, look at the date of the images inside the folder.
This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.
come back with results.

  • I uploaded photos in .jpg format to my iPad, but now all of those photos appear as .ithmb files and cannot be opened, even on the thumbdrive they originated from. How do I get them back to .jpgs?

    Sorry, should've mentioned some more information. I synced the ipad to the folder of photos. The original photos had file names like "_MG_4865.jpg" and after syncing the folder in Itunes, all files were now found in a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" which was filled with many folders with labels like "F23" etc. (There were ALOT of photos.) In those folders there are several files with names like "T343.ithmb". Not a .jpg to be found and I can't view any of the photos.

    Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

    I changed computers, now my iphone won't synch either calendar or contacts with Outlook. I'm sure there is a quick fix for this, but I haven't been able to find it.
    Any suggestions?

  • Mom used comp....and now the dock won't appear

    Hi,
    My mom used my scanner/printer recently and when I went onto my comp to use it there was a dialogue box that I couldn't click out of so I restarted it and now the dock won't appear when I hover at the bottom of the screen.
    I had a similar problem this summer when I turned of the comp and moved it into another room to find that my desktop wallpaper had disapeared and I still havn't been able to reload it.
    Can someone help me figure out what's wrong? Thanks in advance

  • Sync All Pictures Won't Pull Photos to My PC

    Connected Blackberry Curve 8560 to my Windows 7 laptop, upgraded the device software and installed the Blackberry Desktop PC Software. When I tried to sync my photos and videos the videos and only photos on the phone but not the media card would upload. I select All Pictures in the software but it won't pull "all the pictures" on my phone. How do I get the software to pull all photos off my phone so I can delete them off my phone?

    iTunes has nothing to do with the importing of photos from the Camera Roll. Those are imported from the iPhone to the computer with Windows Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can also access it with Windows Explorer, select the phone in the list of removable drives or cameras and that will do it.
    If Windows is not recognizing the iPhone connected to it, then you need to look at this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Follow instructions there to see if you can get Windows to recognize the phone is connected. The last step is to completely remove iTunes and reinstall it. To remove it in Windows, follow the instructions in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925

  • Uploaded pictures to iPhoto but computer froze and I did a force quit - now all pictures gone!  Help!!

    I uploaded pictures to iPhoto library, I was attempting to share one picture (out of 350!) and computer froze for over 5 minutes.  I did a "force quit" and when I reopend iPhoto all pictures were gone.  The library shows the events I created but when I click on it, there are no pictures.  Please help!

    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.
    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. .

  • If I move a picture from one project to another in aperture why doesn't the jpeg change folders if all my pictures are referenced?

    I started importing all my pictures into Aperture and have been debating whether to use a managed or referenced library.  I'm leaning toward referenced, but before import everything that way, I do a couple of "test drives".
    In Aperture, I moved a photo from one project to another expecting that the jpeg in finder would move from the original folder to the new one, but it didn't.  Anyone know why?  Is there a way to make this happen?  Is it bad that I want this to happen?  Should I just use a managed library.  I like having control of the actual files (thus wanting to go with a referenced library).
    Any thoughts?
    Mark

    In Aperture, I moved a photo from one project to another expecting that the jpeg in finder would move from the original folder to the new one, but it didn't. 
    Mark, Aperture does not store the originals organized by project, but by the date of the Import Session. So moving an image to a different project will not change, were the original file is stored.
    This has a big advantage for backing up the originals. If they never move or change, you do not have to backup the originals other than directly after importing, if your library is referenced. And even incremental backups of a managed library are quicker.
    Is there a way to make this happen?
    You can always use the command "File > Relocate" to move the original files anywhere you want.
    Is it bad that I want this to happen?  Should I just use a managed library.  I like having control of the actual files (thus wanting to go with a referenced library).
    If it is bad, will depend on why you want to have control of your originals. If you just want to know where they are, it is o.k., or if you don't have enough space on the drive with the library and need to split the library across several drives. But it would be bad to move, edit, or access the referenced originals in any way. Let Aperture do the handling,  or you will be risking broken references.
    Aperture has several buil-in ways to show you the original: The "M" key will switch the Browser to the original, "File > Export > Original" will give you an exact copy of the original, or you can relocate the file to another folder.  I simply open the aperture Library in iPhoto, when I want to view my managed originals. iPhoto has a command "File > Reveal in Finder > Original" that will show you also the managed originals in the "Masters" folder inside the Aperture/iPhoto Library package.

  • IPhone 4 updated from 6.0 to 7.1.2 and now the picture no longer appears when receiving or making phone calls.  How do I fix this?

    I updated the software for my iPhone 4 from 6.0 to 7.1.2 and now pictures (contact picture/picture ID's) no longer appear (take up the entire screen) when receiving or making phone calls.  They only show in a small circle which is not convenient at all.  How do I fix this, please?

    You are welcome. I have seen numerous posts on this subject, so I suspect you are correct. It doesn't seem like a welcome change. You can send feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • TS3989 I was transferring all my vacation pictures from iPhone to PC because icloud was limited on space.  Now all pictures are gone from phone and not on PC or icloud. Where could they be?

    Can not locate any of my vacation pictures after trying to transfer from my phone to pc so I could have some printed.  All photos are missing as well as the contacts on my phone being removed.  Not sure what to do next.

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • Changed accounts, now some songs won't authorize

    I changed from an aol account quite a while ago to an apple account. I can play songs purchased since the new ID, but I just discovered I can't play anything previous to it. It will tell me I am not authorized and bring up my old screen name. How can I fix this?

    Do you have a backed up copy of the music? Just rip it to Mp3 from there.
    If you don't, log into that account and burn a CD of the music, then log out and rip it.
    Backups of your purchased music are VERY important!!

  • Internal power died, now adsense ads won't appear

    Two weeks ago, the internal power in my computer died (it's one of those PowerMac towers). The "power source" (or whatever you call it) was replaced, and no files were lost. But now, when I add Google Adsense ads to my Iweb created website pages, there's just empty space where the ads should be when my pages are posted online.
    I checked in Iweb/File, where you go to "set up Google Adsense," and my account is still shown as "Active."
    Has anyone else had to deal with this before? What did you do?

    "If you have an existing Google AdSense widget or try to add a new one and then publish your website, you may see a blank space on your website where the Google AdSense content should go."

  • Album artwork used to appear, but now all is gone!

    I updated my iPod with new artwork at one point, but the artwork did not appear on my iPod. So, I naturally reconnected it and checked, and it was there in iTunes. I looked online and followed the usual recommendation of artwork problems by unchecking and rechecking the "Show Artwork on iPod" box and applying the changes. Now ALL of my artwork is gone from my iPod!
    The artwork still shows up in iTunes when I play individual songs, but not when I see the Info for a group of songs on the same album. I try to re-add the artwork in the box, but it won't rewrite the ID3 tags, save the change or anything. So, I have no artwork on my iPod, but it still appears on my songs when I view them in iTunes. How can I solve this?
