First, what is the formatting of the external hard drive? It should be OS X Extended (journaled). You can determine it by selecting the EHD and typing Command + i.
Click to view full size
If it isn't formatted to that you should move the library off of it and reformat.
The "!" is an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken So make a temporary, duplicate 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.

I can see the pictures in iPhoto but suddenly this morning when I try to open a picture I get a grey box with a big "!" Please help!

You really should run check for updates. It's up to 9.1.3 now.
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. .

Hello:
There was an OS X 10.7 update released a month or so ago that fixed this problem. Run software update.

I can see a photo in Finder but not in iPhotos

Sorry to be a pain, i am sure the answer tothis question is simple, but as a new convert to Apple i am not familiar with the wrinkles.
i can see a photo in some view but not in iphoto.
Finder gives the file name, all details about the camera etc and even say it is in the Library :- Users/rosedayjo/Pictures/MacB iPhoto Library/Originals/2010/Last 12 Months
But of course when i go to the directory to which it refers i cant import this photo from there to reestablish it in the library because it says it is already in the library!.
So,
1. how does a photo seem to be in a library but is not.
2. how to i get to the file to return it into the library,
All help welcome

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, faces and places 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.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

I can see songs on my iphone but can not see them in itunes

I have the IOS 7 and iphone is a 4. I can see songs on my iphone but cannot see them on itunes. I want to be able to see them so that I can move them to a playlist.
thanks for any help.

If i have to restore my phone, I would loose data. At the momen, that's a last resort to me as everything works fine apart from this music problem.
Is there a way to fix the database? I can see the music is on my phone with iTunes so it is there in one form or another ...but I can't play it
Has anyone had the same issue?
Are there any suggestions?
If i call Apple support would they be able to help?

Can see iPad Air in iTunes but can't sync or back up. Could 2 days ago.

Can see iPad Air in iTunes but will no longer sync or back up, could 2 days ago. Can drag apps from library onto device however 'apply' is not available, nor is 'sync' under Devices.

Disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPad to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
Turn iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Restart your computer. Then reconnect iPad to your computer.
Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTune

Can see Library on new computer but can't play!!???

I bought a new computer and have installed iTunes. I can see my Library of music but I can't play it because it says I have already reached my five allowed computers to operate iTunes. My other computers have broken through the years and I have gotten rid of them. How can I play my music?

There should be no problem using the deauthorize all command and then reauthorizing the machines that you actually use, although bear in mind that you can't use that command again for a year.
Note too that authorizaton only affects iTunes DRM protected content. If you can't play anything then something else is going on...
See also this migrate iTunes library post. If you're planning to switch which computer you use to sync your device to you may have problems if you copied the media across and added it into a new library, rather than copying over the library as a unit.

I see my photos in iphoto but cannot open them all I see is a !

Hello,
Please could anyone help me, I have just purchased a new external hard drive and all seems to be well. I organised my iPhoto library and albums because I had duplicate photos. Got rid of all those in the trash.
I thought I would have a look at a few photos, they were all there to see but when I double click on the photo a big black box appears with a big exclamation mark in the center.
I have tried to rebuild in iPhoto manager and repair permissions but nothing has changed PLEASE can anyone tell me how to get my photos back so I can use them again. Also in iPhoto manager I seem to have a default and a library, I have tried both but the problem is the same.
Simple terms please, I am not an expert, but any suggestions would be so appreciated.

I cannot import my photos to iPhoto but can using another user sharing the same library.

I am trying to import my photos on my main user account on my iMac to iPhoto 11. I am running Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
When I try to upload using my main user account it will not upload the photos. It gives an error message "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image. I also get urecognised file format from my Cannon SLR. The crazy thing is, I share the same library with my wifes user account on the same Mac and the images upload without any issues. I can see them in my user account but when I try to open the landscape files I get an exclamation mark on a black background.
Any help with this will be appreciated.

The exclamation mark means that iPhoto has lost/broken the file path to the original/master file. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to reair the library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
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 and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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.

Can't view photos in iphoto but I still can in Preview

Recently I changed some of the folder names of my photos in the iphoto library, but now when I want to view them in iphoto they are blank. I can still view them through Preview mode if I go through Finder, but that's a hassle. Also, the photos that I didn't change the folder name I can still view in iPhoto. I use iPhoto 5.
What should I do in order to get things back to normal and be able to view my photos in iphoto??

i Brian
Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
1 - this is the iPhoto '08 forum - your question would be better placed in the iPhoto 5 forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=850 - some things work differently and here people will assume that you have iPhoto '08 and the answers may not work on iPhoto 5
What should I do in order to get things back to normal and be able to view my photos in iphoto??
2 - You should NEVER modify the iPhoto library (or any other database structure for that matter) - you should ONLY use iPhoto to change things. At this time your two choices are to put things back exactly like they were or recreate your library which will lose your edits, albums, etc

Canon VixiaHF10- I can see canon folder on USB but can not import video

I am able to connect my Canon Vixia HF10 to my iMac (using iLife) through USB- Iphoto opens and imports fine but the iMovie is not opening. I can see the folder with Unix files- please advise how to get movie clips into iMovie 7.1.4 Thank-you

I got the HF10 as well and found out that my HF10 is not supported by iMovie.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014
I learned that the NTSC HF10 is compatible, the PAL version however which I have is not (tag on the bottom of the camera states it's a HF10E).
What worked for me, at least on iMovie08:
1 Connect camera and manually start iMovie
2 Now, open disc utility and select the mounted device carrying your movies
3 select to make a disc image from this device
When disc utility finalizes the image and mounts it, iMovie all of a sudden recognizes it as a camera, opens the import window and you can start importing from the disc image.
Hope this works for you on iMovie07 as well.

I installed the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3.25) on a new Windows 7 PC. I can see ahred libraries on Shared but can't import as the line containing the Settings and Import buttons does not display. Any suggestions?

To move the iTunes library to this new computer I switched on Home Sharing and can see the other libraries on my home network. If I select tracks from a Shared library I can't import them as the strip containing "Show: All Items" and the "Settings" and "Import" buttons, does not display at the bottom of the screen. Goes straight from the list of tracks to the strip with Playlist icons and xxxx items, tttttt total time, yyyy GB.
Any suggestions for making the Import button appear?

Can see contents of remote disk, but can't see it's contents

Hi community.
My configuration: MBA 13" (late 2010) and a Win7 computer with a DVD drive. Done everything as described in this note: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1777
On MBA, I see the entry "Remote disk" on the sidebar, i see my Win7 PC in the list.
But when I expand it, the contents are empty (a dvd is inside and I can see it both by file sharing and by RDP on Windows)
What do I do wrong? Tx in advance

I can see the Windows PC, but I cant see the drive.
So I only can do a 'Get info' on the PC and it says 'PC server'

Can see my machine through vpn, but can't connect...

Hello all,
On 10.8.1 with ARD 3.6.1 at home-Mac MIni Server.
Connected through a VPN (Cisco IPSec) to my office.
I can see my work station at work (10.8.1, ARD 3.6), but I CAN'T connect.
Message I get is: Make sure remote management is enabled in sharing (it is) or that your network interface is working (it is).
I can see my other stations at work with ARD 3.5.1 through 3.5.2 with 10.7 and I can connect to those with no problems.
And I can connect from my laptop (10.8.1, ARD 3.6) at home to my this mac mini server and vice versa.
Does anyone know why I can't connect to the one at work? something with the VPN, seems like the only variable here.
Thanks,
Brian

problem solved.
I couldn't reinstall it because I had an older version. After installing the old version and upon launch, it will say that an newer version is already installed... blah... blah...
Apparently, ARD is a part of the mountain lion and it is not easily removed. So don't try, I followed apple tech support doc and it didn't work.
What I had to do was to restore the newest version, cause I deleted it, but this time I aslo deleted all the system files related to the ARD and the pref, plist, etc.
This time I launched 3.6 again, set the pref, and I was able to connect from my home computer to my work computer.
Success!!
Thank you for the assist.
