Help with disappearing photos

Loaded my twins 3rd B-Day photos, all was going well.   Sorting them when all of the sudden a handful disappeared.  I see them at the bottom and when you look at a complete album on the screen, but when I try to click and just look at a single picture, a bunch of them show up with a black screen and a triangle with a ! sign.  No clue what happened and when try to share, these select photos will not 'share'.  They are not in the trash bin either.  Again, the mystery is that I see the photos at the bottom of the screen and when multiple photos are showing the screen.  HELP?????

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
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. .

  • Help with 'disappeared' photos after migration to new macbook pro

    So I got a lovely new macbook pro and successfully seem to have migrated everything from my old G4 powerbook. But, when I go into iphoto all 3,000 plus pictures have only the slash dotted outline and no images. Any suggestions as how to remedy this. Terence Devlin, you were kind enough to try to help me when I was having trouble with getting my pictures to export edited but we never did figure out the problem, so if you're out there and remember me maybe you can advise me here, as I don't know if anything I did in attempting to resolve that issue would impact the situation now. The pictures still exist on the other computer so it's nothing dire but it's weird to have everything look like it's there (in otherwords, the whole thing is set up exactly as my old one was, with the same albums etc.) but no actual pictures inside.... Thank you!!

    To anwser my own question:
    Had to highlight my User Home in finder, and then had to add myself as a user (and click the cogwheel to apply to all files within) and allow myself to 'Read and Write' in permissions.
    For some reason, when I migrated across, it didn't add me as a user - even though I was the administrator of both the old and the new MBP!

    Freezing, or crashing?
    ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
    Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding
    Do you happen to run a font manager? If so, which one, and waht version?

  • Can anyone help with uploading photos from iPad to Facebook.  Thanks

    Can anyone help with uploading photos fom iPad to Facebook?  Thanks

    What app are you to trying to use ? You can't upload photos to Facebook via Safari, but a number of the Facebook apps support it e.g. the 'official' app : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/facebook/id284882215?mt=8 (thought it's optimised for the iPhone/iPod Touch it does support uploading photos), Friendly For Facebook (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/friendly-for-facebook/id400169658?mt=8)

  • Help with placing photos in Lightroom 4.2

    I am making my first book in the Book module and I'm not finding it as flexible as I expected. I'm slowly figuring out some answers to the questions that have arisen, but I'd like some help with the following.
    1. Can I add a small photo to the last page above the logo?
    2. Can I put a border around a photo on the front, like a frame? Or do I have to prepare a jpg in Photoshop Elements with the frame and my photo?
    3. Can I move or resize those yellow-bordered placement boxes, or make a custom layout if none of the layouts are exactly what I want?
    Answeres to these questions will take a lot of frustration out of the process. :-)
    Thanks,

  • HT201317 Help with deleting photos.

    Hello, I am slightly frustrated with photo management on my iPhone and iPad. I seem to end with a photo appearing in my Camera Roll, an album, and in photo stream on both devices. Is there a simple and quick way to delete it from all locations, as at the moment I have to delete it from each individually.

    No, unfortunately you cannot delete a specific picture on all locations with just one click. It is like you described, you have to do it manually one by one.

  • Help with syncing photos please

    Ok, so iam having problems with syncing a folder from my computer to my iphone. Once done syncing the photos it makes 2 albums on my iphone, one with the name of my folder and one with the name "Photo Library" they both have the same photos on them, how do I get the unwanted one off?

    This is normal and cannot be changed.
    All photos transferred to the iPhone are stored and will be available in the iPhone's Photo Library.
    If you transfer 3 folder names or albums that contain photos say 10 photos each, it will be as follows:
    Photo Library (30)
    Photo Album 1 (10)
    Photo Album 2 (10)
    Photo Album 3 (10)
    With the Photo Album names to be whatever you name the folders which contain the photos transferred to your iPhone.
    This way you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting the iPhone's Photo Library or view the photos available in a particular folder or album only by selecting the album.
    Photos in the folders or albums are not duplicated. They include a pointer to the original photo contained in the iPhone's Photo Library.

  • Need help with imovie photos extension. I am not able to view the editing tools no matter what I do!!!! Help please ASAP

    I Have read a lot of tutorials or whatever but Im not able to view the editing tools from imovie in the photos app. I have tried the trimmer thing and the yellow outline does appear but the only options available are "play, trim or cancel". I really really want to use the filters and stuff so please help me if you can!
    Thanks!

    Well, everything that you have bought with her Apple ID prior to getting your own Apple ID is forever hers. Apple will not transfer content from one ID to another. But in the case of the Mac, contact iTunes Customer Service and request that they send your issue to the Account Security Team and ask that the Mac be released form your mother's account so you may register it with your account. Then you can accept the iLife apps into your account for any future updates.

  • Need help with disappearing header row in tables

    Hey guys.
    I'm working on a large document with tables (annual report). I have set up table styles with header and body cell styles. When I apply the table style to a table, then convert the first row to header row, the entire header row disappears...!
    If I leave the row as body row and just apply the header cell style to it, it won't disappear. The row will only disappear if I convert it to header row in Indesign.
    I checked the Word doc I imported the text from, the first row of the tables is just normal body row.
    I dunno where to look so I have no idea how to fix this problem. It happens to all the tables. I was supplied this file. I don't particularly want to recreate the file. The original file was created in Creative Clouds and exported to idml for me as I have CS6.
    Has anyone experienced the same problem or know what's the solution? I really need help.
    Thanks in advance.

    It may be on the Table Options dailog box on the section of Headers and Footers> Header: Repeat Header the Skip First is check on.

  • Help with recovering photos in LR3

    I was backing up some photos from my LR folders, when I accidentally deleted some.
    I downloaded a file recovery program and was able to recover the photos.  However, one of the particular group of photos, I'm having extreme difficulties with.  I can see their previews in LR, but when clicked on it the photo says "file is missing or corrupt" OR the photo changes to one from another session.  They had the same file name, was the older one somehow overwritten? Can I still recover those older photos?  I've tried everything I can think of and am reaching dead ends.  ANY help will be greatly appreciated. 

    Yea, it doesn't seem like the recovery programs were able to recover them.
    No, I've tried them in other programs, and even sent the found files to other photographers, and they're having the same problems.

  • Need help with scanned photo....

    I scanned a photo into iphoto'11 using a new fujitsu scansnap s1500m.  Once I saved it, I changed the extension from .pdf to .jpg by going to "get info."  I then imported it into iphoto and I can see the thumbnail -- but when I click on the thumbnail I get a black screen.  I am using a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 if that helps.  Can anyone tell me what did i do wrong?
    I am a senior who is not very tech savvy, but I try.  I have scanned a total of two photos, but can only launch one of them in iphoto.  I have compared the three using "get info" but can't see a difference.  An old lady needs help......

    You should also be able to set the scan type to JPG in, I'm assuming, there's an online preference window for your scanner.  It may be set to PDF as a default in the scanner.
    Here's a Link to a Windows Help page on setting preferences:
    http://scansnapcommunity.com/tips-tricks/1927-how-to-scan-to-jpeg-with-scansnap/
    You should be able to do similar things with your Mac.

  • Help with AS2 - photo gallery

    Hi All
    would someone beable to help me with some code, I downloaded a photo gallery example, at the moment the movie plays the photos when you click a button(timer)
    What I'm trying to do is to get the movie to auto play the photos on load rather than having to click the button. I have been lookin in the scrip, I think its something to do with
    // initialize values
      currentIndex = 0;
    but when I change this value to 1, not much happens, would some be able to have a look within the code and see where I can change it so that the movie runs the images automatcally on load.
    I have pasted the code below, hope this is ok?
    many thanks for anyones help!
    CODE:
    // (c) Copyright by Andrew DiFiore. All rights reserved. DO NOT REMOVE.
    fscommand("allowscale", "false");
    Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
    targetPhoto._visible = false;

      if (Math.floor((this.holder.getBytesLoaded()/this.holder.getBytesTotal())*100) >= 100) {

    something like this...not quite working
