HELP! Photo's not showing up in 3rd Party app media browsers

I just reformatted my computer. I restored all my docs (iPhoto library included) by dragging my Home folder from the external hard drive to the newly reformatted computer. I have done this many, many times. This time however, something got messed up with my iPhoto library.
Everything is okay in iPhoto itself, but when I open a third-part application such as Toast 7 or Comic Life and use that apps media browser to go thru my iPhoto library, only some of the photo's show.
All my albums show up and even the photo names, but most of the pics have no icons and cannot be used now in those application through their media browser.
I have posted photo's of what I am talking about on my .Mac site for clarity.
The address is here:

Any help would be very much appreciated!

hi Michael,
Isn't Comic Life fun!
Back to your problem...I am pretty sure a rebuild will get you going.
Try this:
Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
Close iPhoto
Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.
iPhoto 4 or later: Rebuilding the iPhoto Library

  • Help - need to give permission to download 3rd party apps

    I've downloaded an application from a site I use often, so I trust it, but I cannot open the app because I apparently denied the use of 3rd party apps when I set up Lion. Cannot find that set up now to change it. Can you help?

    Right-click its icon and press Open, or go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy and press Anywhere

  • Volume not working on 3rd party apps

    My volume works on ipod, facetime, itunes (all apple native apps) on my ipad 2, but not on any other 3rd party apps such as zombies, angry birds and time/warner tv apps.  I have checked volume both within apps and in settings.

    Hi Sachin
    Thanks for getting back to me
    here's a link to the 3rd party hosted site that shows the problem
    http://www.cccuk.com/cccmuse/
    and here's a link to the same muse site on BC
    http://cccuk.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
    which works ok, unfortunately this site is going to have to be hosted on the 3rd party host, if I can't get it to work I'll have to go back to dreamweaver which would be a shame.

  • New Photos Library Not Showing up in Media Browser

    Hi, all--
    I have the new Photos Library app, but I cannot select photos from it in other apps (like Twitter) because it doesn't show up the Media Browser that appears in the sidebar. The Photos Library is stored in my Pictures folder, and although I can click on the Pictures folder, the package contents of Photos Library isn't accessible there. Is anyone else experiecing this? I see other posts about this problem for iWeb, but I'm seeing it with EVERY 3rd party app/website. I can't select those photos. Help, please!
    Thanks!

    It's not a bug. It's not an iWeb issue.
    It's progress.
    Everytime something new arrives, the old is left behind.
    But there is a solution.
    iPhoto and the old library are still on your computer.
    Open iPhoto and select the old library.
    After that the images are available again.

  • After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see my photos

    After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all  my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.

    Try these for the first attempt:
    First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

  • Why some photos do not show up in the widgets after final export?

    Why do I have a problem with the FeatureD News Widget not showing all my photos? I have tried redoing it many times over in different formats and all but one photo never shows up in the final export. Please I need help to finish up the website.

    If I understand this correctly, you are reporting that you have images in your Featured News' target frames and some of those photos do not show up in the published site.
    If so, I would like you to confirm if the widget works fine in Preview within Muse? Are the images missing in all browsers, even after clearing the browser cache? Can you provide a link to a published site? If required I may also request your source Muse file to investigate further.
    Thanks,
    Vikas

  • My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers.  Does anyone know why this is happening?  Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

    My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers.  Does anyone know why this is happening?   Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?  I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

    Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
    You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

  • No photos in Photostream, but 3rd party apps show that the photos are there

    I am having a problem, not sure where to post it. Here is what is happening:
    1. Take a photo with iPhone 4
    2. Syncs to great up until last night
    3. Last night I brought a photo into Nik's Snapseed app on my iPad (import from Photostream)
    4. Now, my synced Photostream shows up on my Iphone 4, iPhoto, but the Photostream album on my iPad shows no photos.
    5. However, the photos are there on the iPad, because if I use a photo editor app and import (again, like Snapseed), the photos are there and I can import. But the Apple's Photo app the album shows no photos.
    Very strange....I think this has to be a bug.
    Apple really needs to think about real use of Photostream. The concept is great...but I have to admit it is buggy. Adobe Carousel app, when it is released, looks ideal.
    Apple, why can we not delete 1 photo (rather than the whole Photostream)?
    Apple, is this a bug that we cannot import into other apps because it then blanks out our Photostream?
    Apple, why do new photos from my Camera app go to my camera roll and Photostream...workflow of editing and sharing photos is very messy this way with duplicate photos.
    I am not sure how I am suppose to get my photostream to show up again on my iPad. I have tried resetting my photostream, hard reset my iPad, nothing works.

    Exactly the same problem here too. Its bug, because I see my photostream with a 3rd party app like PS Express.

  • HT4236 What do I do if "photos" is not showing up as an option under "My Device" in the iTunes window?

    What do I do if "photos" is not showing up under "My Device" when I plug my phone in and the iTunes windo opens?  I had my phone reset yesterday b/c of picture texting/software problems.  It wiped it clean!  I had to start again like it was a NEW phone and use my backup info on my computer to sync my information.  I have restored my contacts, calendars, music, etc...but, I can't get my pictures back.   HELP!

    If the iTunes window is set as wide as possible on your computer screen, try changing your computer screen resolution

  • Event Photo's Not Showing Up

    Hi I was just wondering why my Event photos were not showing up in my iPhones photo library. The only thing it list are the Event titles themselves. I remember when there use to be a photo for each event just like in iPhoto. Now the only ones that have photos in front of them are the camera roll and Photo Library it self. Is there any way to resolve this issue. Could this have anything to do with having a Mobile Me account.

    One thing that might help out.
    If you tap on an event to open it, does any photos show.
    One thing you can try is to create a blank album in your iphoto.
    Then sync the iphone just to that blank album to clear off any photos that you have synced from the computer.
    Then sync a couple of events back to the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photos event not showing date, shows some irregular words

    Photos event not showing date

    Thank you Btabz. Is there anyway out of purchasing iphoto4? Can't I just use my folders? If I had a pc, i don't think I would need a specific program like iphoto4. do you know of any other applications/ ways to transfer photos that might help?
    Yes, I thought that iTunes would just sync with the folder. I had about 1300 pictures, and for some reason or another I had renamed about 20 of them, and they're the only ones that transfered to my ipod. By "renamed," I mean that I changed the Digital Camera's label of something such as "Fxl0004_21" to "Sunset picture."
    I know that sounds strange, but that's what happened. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
    Thank You.

  • TS2755 My friend sends me photos from his iPad 2 via email. However, when he come to my iPad 2 inbox, the photos do not show up. Instead I get 20-some characters. What is wrong? Please advise.

    My friend sends me photos from his iPad 2 via email. However, when they arrive in my inbox on my iPad 2, the photos do not show up. I receive 20-some characters. Please advise as to the problem.

    Try sending them via the Messages app as opposed to E-mail.
    E-mail shouldn't normally be a problem, but Messages will do as a soloution.
    To do so:
    . You need iOS 5
    1. Go to your Photo Gallery
    2. Open up the album/ images you want to send
    3. Press the share button (top right hand corner)
    4. Select 'Send as Message' (not e- mail)
    5. Select your friends Apple ID from your address book for his iPad
    6. Voila!
    - it's something along those lines...... my iPad is downstairs atm, but the actual way of doing it will be similar...... !

  • Photo does not show up in Adobe Elements

    I have a MacBook and have iphoto set up to open the edit with Adobe Photoshop Elements and not with iphot oediting tool. I had version 8 of APE and upgraded to APE 9 - now the photo does not show up in the Adobe window when I try to edit. How do I fix this ?

    Most likely you have set the wrong file as the external editor. You don't want the obvious one; that's just a link to the welcome screen. Go back and choose this one, which is hidden away inside the folder Support Files:
