Thank you, Eric. This worked, but only after an inordinately long time. I wonder why that was.

Photos won't show up in my Camera Roll

I've had the 16GB 3G camera or a little over a year now (I think lol whenever it came out was when I bought it) and now whenever I take a photo, or edit one in an app, it saves the photo to the camera roll, but won't show up. It will take a photo, and when I look for it in the camera roll, it isn't there. BUT when I sync it to my computer, and import them, they show up there. I have tried restarting, and shutting down, and even backed up my iPhone today which took over an hour. I have lots of room left on my iPhone, so idk why it's not working. Anyone have any ideas?

Here is some info that might help.
(you can also use an App caleed 'FileAid')
If you have a finder-app on your phone you may navigate to the folder that stores the images(DCIM). Inside this folder there is a hidden folder called .MISC and inside this folder there’s a file called info.plist. This is the file that determines the filenames given to the photos and by deleting the whole .MISC folder you may solve your problem.
The system will generate a new folder upon next image taken and name this IMG_0001.JPG
I tried several ways and they did not work, but erasing everything in DCIM sub folders (MISC and 100apple) like Harry D said above helped me solve the problem.
Simple fix for those withOUT jailbreak.
1. Buy Phoneview - useful for a LOT of things actually, like backing up SMS, etc.
2. Open iphone,
3. Click on Settings
4. Select “Open Entire Disk”
5. Find MISC folder on file tree
6. Highlight and delete
7. Done!

Photos won't show in Finder

I have a late 2013 13" MacBook Pro Retina using Yosemite.
In Finder, under pictures, my iPhoto library won't show pictures. It says there's 12GB of photos, but it won't show the photos. When I click on the iPhoto Library, it will open the iPhoto app and the photos will show, but again, it won't show pictures in Finder. I use to be able to see my photos in Finder.
It all started when I went to System Preferences and started clicking things under the Sharing tab.
After this, I noticed I wasn't able to see my photos in Finder. I followed another thread that said to: press control and click on iPhoto library, then click on Show Package Contents, then click on Original folder; however, when I did went through this process, I didn't have a folder that said Original, so I don't know what to do. Please Help me!!

What Finder window? Are these images in iPhoto?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Edited photos in iOS show original photo after import or in iPhoto for MAC

If I edit a photo using the Photos app (or one the filter integrated now with Photos app) and then import that photo to my Mac (both using iphoto or import) or PC (both using import or with cloud photo integration), and sometimes if i try to view the photo using another iOS app, the photo display the original, unedited version.
the only way seems to duplicate the picture or to send it by mail.
but when you have hundreds of pics, that is not a solution any more..
and most of all i don't even want to import both the original and the edited version.
i found this issue in an apple support page: below the link..
but that page doesn't offer a solution one most of all it says that iphoto shouldn't have the issue...
can you help me?
thanks
iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps

i verified..

Shared Album:
- you lose all the other informations (like location, date, etc..)
- you lose quality
- but at least is fast
Sent by mail:
- it keep full resolution
- you still lose all other informations..
- it is ok for a picture but not good for several..

Edited photos won't transfer

After I edited photos on phone they will not transfer to computer. Unedited ones will.

However, that software costs $40. The free trial only allows 20 photos to be transferred, then won't work any more,
This is really a bug or quirk in how iOS works. Edited photos should be transferable just like unedited originals. Its ridiculous that it doesn't, and that 3rd party work arounds are being suggested as a 'solution'.
iPhone users who paid $400-$800 for the phone, that has a camera, built in photo editing support, that can transfer unedited original pictures, should not have to go spend $40 to compensate for a shortcoming in the product, because customers can't transfer photos they've taken & edited on the very phone they bought from Apple.
More & more, Apple is referring customers to 3rd party products, work arounds, & band aid fixes, rather than truly supporting their products and producing proper fixes & solutions for their product shortcomings and bugs.

Photo won't show on cover of Iphoto Calendar after dragging and dropping

Every year I create a calendar on Iphoto and I have always been able to troubleshoot everything myself.
This time, I am stumped. The whole calendar is ready to go but for some reason, the photo I added to the cover will not show up. I am using the same photo later in the calendar without a problem. In fact, when I hover over the picture it tells me that is being used on the cover and on page 11...but I can't see it!
The title underneath the photo will only show when I click on the text box. Once I click away from it, it will disappear.
Anybody? Christmas is approaching fast and I need to get this into production ASAP to mail to Europe.

Hi HeyBayLondon!
It sounds like you may want to try restoring your phone and then re-syncing the content from your computer to see if the information will show up after that procedure. Information on doing that can be found right here:

My photos are not working, any recently taken photos won't show, they're just like blank grey pictures & all my photos cannot be uploaded or loaded into an editing tap, it says error, cannot find photo, and the last photo I take ends up being repeated!

someone please help me! I just traveled to hong long and the minute I arrived something wrong was happening with my photos, I can't take any new photos because if I did they either get repeated or just be shown as grey pictures and when I try to upload one to a photo editing app it says "error cannot Load photo" and the same happens in twitter and Facebook! this has been found on for Like more than a week now, even when I want to set a picture as my profile picture in man it ends up zooming the picture way more than how I chose it in the border,, I would like to be able to take good photos again, any help?

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Photos won't show in movie....

Hello,
Hope somebody can help....
I am creating a new movie. As part of it I want to use some photos/jpegs at certain places. I have inserted them into the project browser no problem, and they show there as expected. I can edit them etc with Inspector no problem also.
However, when I play/view the project, some of the photos do not appear. Instead the screen holds an image of the last clip in the sequence, and then switches to the next once the playhead (red line) has passed over the photo. The transitions on either side of the photo also seem to be 'not seen'.
This doesnt happen for all the images I have used, but I cant find any difference in the properties etc of the ones that do work and the ones that don't, although I could easily be missing something!
The images being used are in iPhoto and they are definitely there (i.e. the media isnt missing).
Can anybody suggest what the problem may be??
I am using iMovie 11 (9.0.4) and my OS is Lion.
Many Thanks in advance....
Ian

The background is a combination of items: Slice Lower Third; Eccentric; Conglobe; and Seriset. It also includes an introduction of text. I'm still having trouble rendering it and coming up with "An error occurred while trying to add a frame to the new movie (-1309)" and it won't render.
I "Save"d photo as livetype without any extension listed. The "export movie" option is grayed out. I'm thinking this is the problem.
Any ideas or thoughts on fixing?

Photos won't show up on viewing screen

What version of iPhoto? Version 11 9.4.2 What version of the Operating System? 10.7.5. What were you doing when the problem arose? Trying to view a photo on the viewing page so that I could edit it Did it ever work properly? Yes, in the past I have done the same thing and the photo shows up to edit. Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. I installed new photos and wanted to do some editing. The photos never show up on the page where I usually edit. I see them in my Photos library, but then they won't transfer to a single image. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? No error messages What happens when you try to do this thing? As I said, the photo image does not appear. The label is there, but no image. And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. I've looked in the iPhoto help file and also online, but have found no information.

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.
5 - 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. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Two issues on Aperture: single photo won't show in viewer, emptied trash won't indicate as empty

Using Version 3.5.1. Several after-market edit plug-ins attached. Two new problems:
Very recently, when editing, the single photo viewer mode will start showing only black (blank), or shows the photo very briefly then goes black, or shows another different photo, or a damaged-looking photo. Multiple photo viewer modes still work ok. Problem goes away upon quitting and restarting Aperture, but then shortly soonafter recurs while editing.
Also, trash continually indicates 477 undeleted photos even after emptying. Additional photos added to trash get added to this count (i.e. it then indicates, say, 492 photos in trash, while showing only the actual 15 legitimate files in the trash folder), and then can successfully deleted the actual trashed files back to the mysterious 477, although with no photos actually left in the trash folder and the Empty Trash function still active for these 477 ghost files. This problem persists despite restarting.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Problem goes away upon quitting and restarting Aperture, but then shortly soonafter recurs while editing.
First of all, make sure you have a current, working backup of your Aperture library.
Is your Aperture library on your system drive or on an external drive? If external drive, how is the library connected? And is the library referenced or managed?
Several after-market edit plug-ins attached.
Have you checked, if your plug-ins are the latest versions, and compatible with MacOS X Mavericks?
What trouble-shooting measures have you already tried? If you have not already done so, use the Aperture Library First Aid tools and repair the permissions and the database, see this page of the Aperture User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual

Photos won't show up in camera role & forever backups. Please help!

This has been going on for 3 months now and its really becoming a pain. The problem in itself is now a giant conundrum where I can't find a possible fix so here it goes!
It all started when I noticed that when I took a photo with the built in camera it would save it to the thumbnail but when you go to view it, it would not be in the camera role, though they all show up in iPhoto just fine . I understand that this is a problem had by many and its nothing new, and there are ways of fixing it but below is where the problem gets tricky.
As soon as I connect my iphone to the computer to sync the phone in order to find the BAD CACHE or whatever, The device goes into "backing up iPhone" mode (even after I've checked the manually manage music & video's box") This would be no problem if it would actually back something up but it dosen't. One time I actually left it alone to backup over night after it had already taken 4 hours of of my time sitting there watching the endless loading lines pass (it didn't even get to the part with the solid bar that shows progress) I checked it the next morning and it was still loading. After 13 hours for a single backup I called it quits and gave up. I've tried many times after hoping that it might fix itself, but each time it gets stuck in the "backing up" phase.
I know you can just restore it to factory settings for problems like this, but I can't, without losing all the stuff I've purchased that I can't sync to the computer because of the backup problem.
Can someone please walk me through a fix (where to look for the bad info caches or something) that dosen't include losing everything via a reset. I'm at my wits end with this problem and would really love if someone could help.
FYI, My phone is a 3GS and I have NOT updated, mostly because I can't. The software I believe is from the 3.0- 3.0-1 (I'm not sure which) It was the software that came with the phone that purchased back in August 09.
3GS

1) Turn off auto sync: go to itunes, Edit, Preferences, Devices, "Prevent syncing of...."
2) At the same place, youll see a list of all the backups. You can highlight and delete the ones you think are bad.
For the camera roll photos, you need to upload them from the iphone camera roll with iphoto (not a sync) as you would a digital camera, but turn off autossync first.
Once you have everything organized, you can try a restore and sync (in that order). But all your content must be on the itunes-equipped computer first.

Can anybody help?? or have any suggestions.

Edit screen won't show me my pictures to edit. Full screen goes black.

My first mac. Trying to import pictures from my external drive (FAT32) I imported all my photos, all looks fine, however, when I try to edit one, It takes me to the edit screen with all the photos in the event on top, but it doesn't show the photo I'm trying to edit. I even tried to look at photos fullscreen, and I get the black screen with the top and bottom bars, but no photo on the screen, and after a second, it just all goes black. Interesting thing though, is that I can play a slide show. Has anyone ever had this issue, any help for this newb will be greatly appreciated.

It could be a permissions thing. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the option to repair permission of the library.
Post back with the results.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My photos won't show up.

My photos are listed, but the thumbnails and images don't show up. Attached is a screenshot.
I have used Lighroom many times before with no problems on this machine. I have 12 GB of RAM, running Windows 7 and have updated to Lightroom 4.2. I thought it might be taking a while to load the images, but they never appear even after an hour.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your response. I tried the following, but had no success:
I set my Dell monitor to sRGB
I reset my Dell monitor to factory settings
I tinkered with the Nvidia settings
I removed the Dell monitor and replaced it with a Samsung monitor
I opened the Lightroom preferences and tinkered with some settings in there
uggghhh!
Thanks in advance for any advice on this.

Edited photos won't show up
