Help - 2nd user account cannot see all pictures in iPhoto library

For some reason, if my son logs into his account and brings up iPhoto, he can only see images through 2009. I'm lost on this one. Any ideas to try? Thanks!

Figured this one out the more I looked at it - bottom line is the other account was somehow still pointing at an old library on an external HD. That's not really what I was wanting though.
I've posted my need as a separate topic here- please advise. Thanks!

I cannot see my photos in iphoto library - I tried to restore with Time Machine and that doubled the number of photos (copies) but I still cannot see the images - the events are there but no thumbnails although the number of pics per event is correct...

Can someone help me see my pictures again in iphoto? 3 weeks ago while uploading a video from iphoto to Facebook, my events thumbnails all disappeared and were replaced by black squares - the event names and number of pics in each remain but when I click on the event, I only get squares where the pics should be - when I click those squares, I get a square with a triangle and an exclamation mark in middle.
Apple had emailed me about defective disks in iMacs so I took mine to the Apple Store and they replaced my HD then reinstalled from my backup via Time Machine - I still cannot see my pics! I tried to reinstall from an earlier Time Machine date - that copied everything and now my HD has double the amount of data but I still cannot see my pictures!
I would be thankful for any guidance on how to retrieve my pictures...
Thank you.

Cannot see my pictures in iphoto

Have photos backed up on a mirror raid and cannot find them on iphoto. They're in there but I cannnot access them. Any ideas?

Exactly how did you back them up?
Exactly how are you trying to access them?
What is the format of the drive? The iPhoto library must be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

Cannot see downloaded photos in iPhoto library

I downloaded photos from my new camera into iPhoto. They are in the Library (can see them in package contents) but they do not appear in the library itself. How do I resolve this? Also the same situation with some downloads from earlier this year, with a different camera. (In was not able to use the migration manager for my new iMac as the HD died around the same time, so I brought photos in from a backup copy) Help would be appreciated!

douglas:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you see any indication of the photos in iPhoto, i.e. a thumbnail or blank thumbnail, etc.? Do you see a folder in the library package with Import in the folder name?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries. 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.

Can't see all thumbnails in iPhoto library

Suddenly, when I tab over to the photos tab, I no longer see all the thumbnails in my iPhoto library. Some of them come up, most of them don't. I have tried trashing the iMovie .plist, run Diskwarrior, and rebuilt permissions. When I open iPhoto, all of the thumbnails are there and everything looks fine, only a problem when I try to access them through iMovie.
Also, when I log in as another user, everything seems to work fine!! Runnning iMovie 5.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.3 Help!

Download and use Find Any File to search for a file named "Library6.iPhoto". It's a file that is in every iPhoto library. FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If your library is somewhere on the hard drive FAF will find it.

I deleted an user account and need to recover an iPhoto library + albums

I deleted a user - and didn't realize that my main iPhoto Library belonged to that user. I want to somehow recover the photos AND albums so that I can import them into another user's iPhoto without having to sift thru thousands of photos to repiclate the original albums.
I am both users - I just run two accounts on the same computer. I have almost all of the photos in my other user account but not my last vacation nor any album information. So I'm currently stuck with 80% of my photos and no album information until I figure this out.
The deleted user account is present and I can get a disk image of it. I just don't know how to procede. I tried dropping the album xtml file into iPhoto but that didn't work. (D'uh) Is there a fix for this?
TIA

Hi Brooks, The right way to do it is to import the photos from within iPhoto. iPhoto doesn't like it when you drop stuff in from within Finder. Ditto iTunes.
Open iPhoto>File>Import to library...
Navigate to the albums in the deleted user folder, click 'Import'.
Hope this helps.

Cannot open older pictures in iPhoto library after upgrade

Hey there!
I just updated my iPhoto from 6.? to iPhoto '08. When I open it, I can access events & pictures that are almost a year old, but no older. When I open the iPhoto "package" on my desktop, I find all of my older photos, still intact. How can I access them from iPhoto '08? I can't import them, because when I open the import option, the iPhoto library is greyed out (un-select-able). Do I need to create a new library?

I think part of my problem is that I edit in Photoshop & "save as"
This is unnecessary.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends +a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
The problem with renaming in iPhoto is that it doesn't change the name of the original file, unlike in Bridge.
But are you trying to rename the Picture or rename the File? In iPhoto (and in photo apps in general) you add a title to the Photo, not rename the file.
And if I edit in Photoshop & "save as" under a different name, does that show up in my iPhoto library, or do I have to import it?
If you create a new file you need to save it to the desktop and afterwards import it.
If you want to have different versions then duplicate the pic before sending it to Photoshop. Or use Aperture.
Can I do that iPhoto? I'm thinking I could create a different library on my external, import older photos into that library, then remove it from the laptop library, is that possible?
Yes. Easiest and best way: use iPhoto Library Manager to create the second library and then move the selected pics/albums/events to the archive library. It's the only way to do this and preserve all the versions and all the metadata.
If I put a photo in the iPhoto trash & empty the trash, does that remove that photo from my laptop for good?
Yes.
Am I correct in assuming that the "modified" images are copies that iphoto has made & any editing I save is on those images?
Close but not quite. When you edit a pic either with or via iPhoto, then iPhoto creates a copy of the original and saves the edits on the copy. If you subsequently re-edit with iPhoto it reverts to the original and applies a sum of the edits, so you avoid generational loss.
So if I edit a photo and save it (not "save as"), but I want to revert to the original, iPhoto just accesses the copied image from the Original folder?
It reverts to the Original file and destroys the modified copy.

TD

Aperture Not Seeing All Pictures in IPhoto Folder to Import

Ok- Another question...
I tried importing a folder or event from IPhoto into Aperture and there are 124 pictures in the IPhoto folder, including jpeg and raw photos. Aperture only sees 3 of them... do I need to change some setting somewhere??
thanks,
Georgette

Thanks for the tip about hiding the movies.
To make this easier try the following:
Create a new smart folder in iPhoto called Movies, set the match to "Photo is Movie".
This will allow you to select all movies in one go, you can then hide them, import the photos you need into Aperture.
Use "cmd Z" to undo the hide as you can't unhide the movies from the smart folder as it appears empty.
I have just done the above and saved myself loads of time as I started splitting the movies out of the events I wanted to import, which defeats the object of events.
I too will be sending feedback to Apple over this as this is definitely a bug. The import dialogue should just display the photos and ignore the movies.

Cannot see all my images in Library after LR 4 upgrade

Firstly let me explain that when it comes to LR and catalogues I am a positive newbie, I just use LR to tweak images, and I am not very organised. So excuse the iffy terminology below.
When I used LR3.6 The Library option listed all my files on the left hand side under 'Folder' and showed a sub-folder for each year 2009-2012. I have now upgraded to LR4, and all I can see is 2011. During the install process of LR$ it asked me if I wanted to upgrade the process model, which I said yes and it did. Then, because I had read that 4.1 fixed a lot of issues, I downloaded and installed RC4.1 which I am running now.
How do I make LR4 show me all my Folders? I don't think I should be re-importing them all.
Thanks in anticipation, and soryy for the vagueries above.

Oh, this is probably relevant....
In Library view, the files that are in the 2011 folder are all called DSC00nn-2.NEF ie now have -2 appended to the name.
If I try to add an existing Folder, ie 201, it takes me to Import, and wants to Import the whole lot. ie they are all checked.
Looks like my catalogue is broken, and my worry is all my old edits are lost too.

New LoginManager cannot see all users

Hi all,
Just trying to get to grips with users and roles in Azure, and I've hit a couple of questions.
Here's the process I've been through.
I created a new server
I exported a database from an existing SQL Server as a bacpac file, and successfully imported it into Azure (this step I'm hazy on the details, because I only did it the once, and it was a while back now!)
I connected an existing MS Access front end to the Azure SQL Database successfully.
This database is for a client with half a dozen staff. All works well.
Going through the database in more detail today, I noticed that the database in question has users for the staff at my client, but not a user called Andrew - which I've always logged in as. Looking more closely, I see that the Login of Andrew, which I understand
was created as part of the provisioning process when I set up Azure SQL Database, is mapped to dbo within the database.
In order to keep things simple, I decided today to create a new user "Andrew" on the database, which would map to the Server login of Andrew. To do so, I used this statement:
CREATE USER andrew
FOR LOGIN Andrew
However, the following message was returned:
'Andrew' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
This confuses me, as I can see that the login Andrew does exist, both when I look at the Security > Logins object within SSMS, and if I issue the statement
SELECT * FROM sys.sql_logins
So, I thought that maybe the solution would be to create a new Login, called AndrewR, and then create a new User on the database (and on the master database), also called AndrewR. This I did, and then I used the following two statements (while logged in
to the Master database as the original Andrew account):
exec sp_addrolemember 'loginmanager' , 'AndrewR'
exec sp_addrolemember 'dbmanager' , 'AndrewR'
Now, all seems good, in that the login is created successfully, as is the user. However, I now have the following problems:
When I log in to master as AndrewR (the new user) I can see all the databases. But I can't see any user except AndrewR, dbo, guest, sys and INFORMATION_SCHEMA. When I log in as the original login (Andrew) I can see all the users on all the databases.
Despite having granted loginmanager role to AndrewR, when logged in as AndrewR if I try to create a new user, I get a strange error:
Password validation failed. The password does not meet policy requirements because it is not complex enough.
This would make sense except that the password I've tried to assign is 'drtrtDSP()*)_IPOJTh1s_FREDpw1!' which is about as complex as I can come up with!
None of this solves my original issue of trying to create a user called Andrew to match the original Login of Andrew.
I'm sorry to post several questions in one post, but they seem to me to be all part of this same issue.
Can anyone help or provide guidance?
Incidentally, I've read (several times!) the information at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee336235.aspx - this is where I've gained what little knowledge I have!
Many thanks
Andrew

Hello
Andrew,<o:p></o:p>
Thank you
for the explanation. Is there is a specific reason why you want to create a
user 'Andrew' for the Server-level principal login 'Andrew'. Cause - <o:p></o:p>
1. The
database user in the master database corresponding to the server-level
principal login cannot be altered or dropped.
2. Although the server-level principal login is not a member of the two
database roles dbmanager and loginmanager in the master database, it has all
permissions granted to these two roles.<o:p></o:p>
Please refer msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ff394108.aspx#logins and msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee336235.aspx#DatabasePerms for details.
Also, I
believe only the creator of the database(and the server-level principal login)
can create users in that database. For ex - <o:p></o:p>
After you
created user AndrewR and granted it the dbmanager and loginmanager roles.<o:p></o:p>
1. Connect to the database server(master database) as AndrewR.<o:p></o:p>
2. Create a new database AndrewDB and a new login AndrewR1, like below - <o:p></o:p>
create database AndrewDB<o:p></o:p>
create login AndrewR1<o:p></o:p>
exec sp_addrolemember 'loginmanager' , 'AndrewR1'<o:p></o:p>
exec sp_addrolemember 'dbmanager' , 'AndrewR1'<o:p></o:p>
3. Connect to the database AndrewDB as AndrewR<o:p></o:p>
Create user AndrewR1 for login
AndrewR1
-------à this works.<o:p></o:p>
I hope this
helps. <o:p></o:p>

When I go into my email account through Safari, I cannot see all of my messages. 26 may show on the screen but it says I have 32. However, at the bottom right it appears as if all the messages are showing and the arrow to get more is not highlighted.

When I go to my email account through Safari, I cannot see all of my messages. It says there are 34 but I can only see 26. However, at the bottom right the arrows to go to the next screen are not highlighted? I also cannot scroll any further down. Does anyone know how to scroll down to see all of my messages? I use Travel-net Communications as my email provider (Ottawa, On, Canada).

hey ,
if it is showing you 34 mails them it is correct. when you see your mail. apple has a smart way of arranging your mail.suppose you recieve 4 mails from one email id it will show you under one highlighted mail. so when you open a mail from anyone trying scrolling it down and you will find your missing mails.

My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture.

Hi,
My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture. The ruler across the top read "0" to 13.5". Down the left side of the picture the ruler reads 3", 2",1", 0, 1", 2",3" etc. This leaves a three inch empty space at the top of my viewing area and I lose three inches of the bottom of my picture. I cannot figure out how to adjust this. I have tried the screen modes and they do not fix my problem. What can I do to solve this problem?

Please provide sensible details about your platform, exact version of your OS, exact version of Photoshop, complete details baout your setup, hardware details, monitor resolution, etc.

I'm unable to grant full access to 2nd user account. What am I missing

While our MacBook Pro is out for repairs, I need a way to process my wife's emails and other business. So I'm trying to set up a 2nd user account for my wife on our iMac (running 10.7.5 Lion). Unfortunately, every step I've tried has failed to grant permission for her account to access the iMac desktop or launch applications other than Safari.
Here's what I've tried:
1. I created an account with my wife's name and password under Users & Groups in System Preferences.
2. In her Users & Groups account, I granted her Adminstrator privileges.
3. In the Sharing folder in System Preferences, I selected all the folders except those labeled "remote" and "xgrid" (whatever that is). I granted Read & Write privileges for each one. These included two Desktop folders, and I added the folder for Applications.
4. I made sure File Sharing was turned on, along with Printer Sharing, Web Sharing, Screen Sharing, Internet Sharing, etc.
5. Under Sharing Options, I noted a checkmark in the box labeled "Share files and folders using AFP", although the "number of users connected" was 0. I left that alone.
6. Because several sharing choices were listed as "blocked by firewall," I turned the Firewall setting off.
Despite all this, when I log in as my wife, I cannot launch any major applications except Safari, whether from the Dock or Applications folder. In fact, most of the apps in the folder are grayed out. And when I try to access the Desktop, Other Files, and various other folders, I receive a message that her account "does not have permission to see the contents." Why not? What have I overlooked?
This is becoming an urgent problem, because there's business that must be conducted. I have had similar problems with the iMac from the start, when it refused to accept me as the rightful owner of files that were transferred from our older Mac Pro dwesktop. Yikes!
Any help on this will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

How do I share music in 2nd user account?

I have had so much trouble with itunes 7.3 that I went back to 7.2. But I still can't burn, it just keeps looking like it's burning but never does and never finishes. . So, I want to try burning in a 2nd user account I created. I know I need to move a folder ? a itunes folder to the shared folder. I just need more info on all what's involved. I thought I read it somewhere at this website, but where? A frustated mac user. mmmmm.... Your help appriceiated.

I option dragged the 47 GB itunes folder to the shared folder. I then loged into the 2nd account , opened itunes, opened preferences, set the library to shared folde, itunes. Now what. No music is showing. Is there something else I need to do? This is not the first time I opened itunes in this 2nd account. I did so prior to this switch.
I am so, so frustrated with this iTunes 7.3 screwing up my burning, artwork and who knows what else. 2 + months of ****.
One thing I should mention, I have tried to burn in safe mode, still no luck. mmmm.
My next question is going to be , if I back up the music folder with the songs only, then trash every darn thing I can find thats iTunes, Then reinstall 7.2, then drag the backed up iTunes music song folder into iTunes, thus reimporting them, will it work? Will it have the song names and other info?
Or would I be seeing song # 1 thru 1,600 without names?
Thanks.
