Event thumbnails are missing

My event thumbnails has dissapeared but all the pictures are still in them, however one picture appears as the thumbnail in all my events. I have a iphoto libery of 45,000 pictures. Help why and how do I fix this dissaster.
Thanks

I found another thread and it looks like basically you're hosed if repair/rebuild doesn't work and you have to re-create all the events:

suck.
Anyway I tried Autosplitting Events which split the files (which was great) but just means I need to go through and resort and rename all the of the fracking events again, going back 10+ years.
<sigh>
I guess the only good thing for me is that I have a 12 hours flight back to the states, and 12 hours back to the east coast so have ample time to do this, but may switch to another photo program because of this.
Anyone else if you have any suggestions or ideas to try to fix I'd apprecaite it.
Any ideas or recommendations on alternative to iphoto would be great. I'm leaning towards picasaweb due to the fb and picasa integration...
Thanks,
Larry

  • After a rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for RAW images.

    Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day. This time was different though - after the rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for all RAW images (Canon). Images from other cameras and jpegs are all fine. Only the events with Canon RAW images have no thumbnails.
    I am rebuilding the thumbnails once again but has anyone else seen this issue? Losing thumbnails to RAW images during a rebuild?

    There is no need to do this. It doesn't achieve anything.
    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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

  • IPhoto thumbnails are missing

    A few hours ago I imported a new movie into iMovie. Something went wrong and now all of my iMovie thumbnails are missing from iPhoto in the event area. The only movies I see are ones I imported, nothing from iPhoto is showing anymore. When I click on the camera icon and go to the folder where my movies are in iPhoto nothing shows up. And for some reason my movie is stalling now when I play it where as before it was playing smoothly, well the movie I have so far.
    I have tried to delete the iMovie cache file, it took 3 hours to rebuild my thumbnails and they were still not there. I deleted the new files I imported into iPhoto and emptied the trash. Any idea how to fix it? I don't really need all the old thumbnails back as long as I can reinsert them and it doesn't look like iMovie can see them anymore. I wouldn't even care about that if my current movie wasn't stalling, I can hear the sound but the picture pauses. Anyone?

    Hi
    Just thinking - Have You tested to turn off Your Mac and re-boot from zero ?
    In many cases this helps - might do so now too.

  • Photos in events thumbnail are different to those that show the event itself, Photos in events thumbnail are different to those that show the event itself

    When I click on an event in event view the correct photos are shown scrolling through, but when you open the event a completely different set of photos are shown that have nothing to do with the event. Help please.

    Backup your iPhoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild thumbnails. If this does not fix it repeat and rebuild the library

  • I right clicked on a image and now all my thumbnails are missing, how do I get them back?

    I was in Facebook trying to delete/block an image from my likes (I wanted to delete the like but couldn't so I thought I would just block the image) Anyway what I clicked on in the right click box took all my thumbnails off of Facebook. I would like to get them back, how do I do this?
    thank you

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions<br />
    You can see the permissions for the server in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions<br />
    *A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (<i>Site Identification</i> icon) on the left side of the location bar.
    *A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Some photos in iphoto are missing and there are blank thumbnails which when i try to open them show an exclamation sign

    some photos in iphoto are missing and there are blank thumbnails which when i try to open them show an exclamation sign

    The exclamation make is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path to the original photo.
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library 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.

  • ICal events are missing Day and Month in date

    Hello, Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere - this is such a weird fault I was not sure how to search for it.
    My iCal events are missing the Day and Month in their start and end dates - it just shows a 4 digit year which can only be edited as a 4 digit number. All my events are in their correct places but I am unable to create new multiday events.
    This applies to old and new events alike. I tried trashing my iCal prefs file but it made no difference.
    Anyone any ideas? I am using iCal 3.0.8 on Leopard 10.5.8.
    Thanks in advance.

    Worked it out - I was using a custom date format to give me day and date in the menu bar - reverting to one of the standard built in 'British' works - but then I lose my day in the menu bar....

  • All my calendar events are missing!!! help!

    All my calendar events are missing....can anyone help?  Iphone 4s

    If you are syncing your calendar with a supported program like Outlook using iTunes, just sync them back.  If not, all you can do is restore your phone from the backup created the last time you synced your phone.  Note: this will revert all your data and settings to those contained in the backup, not just your calendar.  Be sure to import any recent photos to your computer before doing so or you will lose them.
    If you want to do this, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically."  Then connect your phone, when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes, right-click on its name and select Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchases to your iTune library).  Then right-click again and choose Restore from backup.

  • I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
    If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.

  • Can I make the thumbnails in Lightroom bigger, when the pictures are missing/ offline?

    Hello everybody,
    I have a huge problem. There are some pictures from a friends wedding in lightroom who are missing/ offline. The problem is that the pictures aren't on my computer or memory card anymore and I already tried a data recovery with Disk Drill. Unfortunately the pictures (documents) which have been found by Disk Drill, are damaged and can't be opened. So the pictures are really gone.
    But now I was looking in Lightroom (i've uploaded the pictures with Lightroom in the first place) and I see that the thumbnails are from a reasonable quality. That's why I am wondering if it's possible to larger the thumbnails without losing quality/ pixels. Of course I already tried a few things (SmillaEnlarger & some things in Photoshop), but unfortunately the pictures are still very bad.
    Or is there any other way to get this pictures back? I still got the catalogus from Lightroom where the pictures where.

    I hope someone can help me out.
    Thanks in advance,
    Imane

    Thank you very much. I already tried that one and unfortunately it doesn't work at my pictures, because the pictures I have are from a bad quality and a lot of pixels are missing. See example:
    But thanks anyway!!!!

  • Events on remote disks are missing from event library

    The iMovie events on remote disks are missing.  I've looked for the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist file and it's missing (was a solution I found from earlier discussions).  The icon for the remote disks shows a disk and a yellow caution symbol. 
    I have a directory on this remote drive with iMovie events.  How can I reconnect these events back into iMovie?

    Do you not have a backup copy of your itunes library?
    If not, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purcahses
