HT4906 Can't see photos after upgrade to 5s

Hi all, I just updated my phone from a 4 to a 5s. The problem I'm having is that when I open camera I can see there's 842 of 842 photos in the camera but unfortunately I can't see any of the images - they're all greyed. There's a little cirlcle spinning and it says loading but nothing appears to happen. Scared I've lost them! I tried looking at them through instagram and same thing. HELP please

Hello simmoaus,
I know not being able to view your photos can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps.

Cannot see photos after upgrading to iPhoto 9.1.3

I upgraded my iPhoto to 9.1.3 and now I cannot see some of my photos. iPhoto indicates the photos are there, but all I see is blank dotted frames where thumbnails should be. When I click on one of the photos I get a gray out frame with an exclamation in the middle. I tried rebuilding the library/thumbnails, extracting using iPhoto LIbrary Manager, checking disk permissions/repairing in Utilties, etc. I tried every suggestions and recommendations I found on the net, but I still cannot see those files. I regret deleting them off my camera disc. These are the only masters I have. So I can't copy them back into the library. If anyone know how I can retrieve these files, please let me know. I also went back in my Time Machine and the same files are all empty gray frames. All I know is that the files were "visible" before the upgrade and now I can't see them after the upgrade. Any suggestions?

Hi - yes I did that last night and unlike rebuilding via control option route, IPLM did not rebuild those files. It stated they do not exist. I double checked by "Show Package Contents" and the master of those files is no longer there. My next move is to go into Time Machine and see if I can restore the library from when the files were still in there (though unseen by iPhoto) and hope the master are still recoverable. If that doesn't work, then I'm at the point of accepting that perhaps I may have lost 51 photos (1 event) during this upgrade. I'm still open to suggestions though.

Can't import photos after upgrade to Tiger 10.4.8

After upgrading from Panther to Tiger I can no longer import photos to iPhoto 4 from my camera. I get error messages that say "Unreadable files: 240. The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the file may not contain valid data). When I go to the directory they are located in, I see a bunch of JPG files, but when I try to open them I get a message from Preview saying it may be corrup or a file format Preview doesn't recognize.
I can view the photos that were in iPhoto prior to the OS upgrade without any problem.

Hi, hope I've caught this discussion before it's ended.
Been getting "Unreadable files. The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the file may not contain valid data" ... but then ...
Was having problems with my hard drive and was about to back up my iPhoto Library when I checked the folder size with 'Apple i' and the 'lock' option was ticked. I definitely didn't option it. I've added images to iPhoto with this option unchecked and they've all gone in fine. Fantastic.
I too think my problems started after Tiger upgrade back last Autumn, loaded some pics in iPhoto at that time, deleted from camera and went back to iPhoto - none there!
Try this option, hope it works for someone else.

Can't see NAS after upgrade to 10.8

Help - I can't see my NAS after upgrade to Mountain Lion OS on my macbook air. I just see a blank window using command+shift+K -- used to see my drive.

Hi,
Check with the manufacturer of your NAS, there may be a patch/firmware update available, or one in the works. Not all software/hardware manufacturers get their drivers, or updates, to Apple in time for distribution, or they haven't tested their products with ML.
Cheers,

ITunes can't see iPhone after upgrade, phone became inactivated.

The phone will no longer connect after upgrading software through iTunes.
It's back to the "emergency call" screen, and "Activate your iPhone. Connect to iTunes" screen.
When I try to connect, iTunes hangs.
(iPhoto opens and downloads pictures!)
Help! Any ideas?

Marc...I think you are confused by what I am trying to say. For your iPhone to be seen by your computer/iTunes you must have a good install. I suspect that you have a bad install of iTunes "On Your COMPUTER" To fix this (and it has worked for many other users) You need to delete/uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support and Quick Time from "your COMPUTER".
Download a new copy of iTunes from the apple web site and reinstall. I am only trying to assist you, this is not a windows versus mac thing...this is a user help user forum, I do not (and you can check my posts) play the this is better then that game.
I want to help you fix your problem which I just did with another user have a similiar problem to yours, so that you can enjoy your iPhone like the others that assist in these forums.
Hope this helps,
Good Luck

I click on Libraries and get a list:

Videos
I click on Pictures and that is where all my picture files are stored (Used to be My Pictures in XP)
This also works in Lightroom if I Click on Import/Choose Files
Howeve,r from within Bridge, if I click on Libraries it says "No items to Display"

Can't see photos after iphone is synced

after downloading and installing Itunes 10.5, I did the software upgrade (os5). My phone was backed up and then it asked me if I wanted to restore as a new phone or from backup from the computer. I selected backup from computer (windows XP).
Sync was complete and I ejected devide from computer. I then checked and had all the folders but there were empty. None of the photos were in the individual folders. I only had the photos from camera roll.
Can someone help? Don't know what to do. I even purchased extra storage (10 gb).
Would appreciate any help
thank you

Hi all,
After much research I managed to find a way to get the iPhone photo library working again, however any photos you had previously took will be lost in the below process.
Before you begin ensure your iPhone data has been backed up onto the iCloud. Do this manually by going into Settings, iCloud, Storage & Backup, Backup now. (You need to be connected to WiFi to do this)
Once everything has been backed up you need to delete your photos from iCloud, by going into Settings, iCloud, storage & backup.
The next screen should ‘show backups’ with a picture of your iPhone underneath, tap on this image and you will now be presented with your backup options where you see quite a few of your apps set as ‘On’. These are applications that have been backup up on your iCloud.
Find the ‘On’ switch for your Camera, turn this off. By doing this iCloud will inform you that all your photo backups will be deleted from the iCloud.
To restore your iPhone to the factory settings go to settings, general, reset, erase all content & settings. Or connect to iTunes and do a factory restore. Once the restore is complete the phone will then give you the option to restore your iPhone from your computer or iCloud, choose iCloud. Be warned this process does take quite sometime to restore your apps, music, contact etc. Apart from your photos as you deleted the back up.
Apparently the iPhone photos become corrupt if you save a picture image when you browsing the web on Safari. In future don’t click on a picture and choose save image. Screen shot it be pressing the home & power button together.
I hope this has helped you both. Any questions please feel free to ask.

Can't see photos after update to 9.3.2

I'm using Lion 10.7.4 and recently updated to iPhoto 9.3.2.
Though I can see my photos in thumbnails they will not show up in the iPhoto window when double clicked.
Each event is (blank) black though it retains its title.
I've tried command-option while opening iPhoto and repairing permissions/rebuilding to no avail.
For some reason my users/home folder/Library folder is not showing up in the Finder so I can't dump the .plist files.
Suggestions are much appreciated.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Can't access photos after upgrade to cloud

I have an iMac 2.5 GHz with 4 GB memory, currently running OS X 10.10.3. I updated photo and went to use the new cloud storage of my photos. The system was updating fine it loaded about 5,100 of the 8,200 photos to the cloud. However now it is not updating for it has been updating the last ~3,000 images for 24hrs. Also if I try to open the application Photo, I receive a message that "Photo must quit because the photo library has become corrupt or is unavailable". I'm concerned and not sure what to do.
I have a Macbook air that is also upgraded and with that device I can access photo iCloud but only the 5.100 photos.

Hold down ⌥ and ⌘ whilst launching photos and try repairing the library.

Can't access photos after upgrade to iPhoto 11

I upgraded OSX to 10.8.2 and iPhoto from 9 to 11. Using Library Manager, I opened the first "old" iPhoto library and followed the screen instructions to upgrade it for iPhoto 11. A message came up stating that there were some errors in the library, so I chose to repair it. After the repair, that library opened perfectly, but when I try to open other libraries to upgrade them, only the first one that was upgraded opens. It's seems like all of my libraries have become the first one. Is there still a way to access the other libraries?
Rick

but when I try to open other libraries to upgrade them, only the first one that was upgraded opens.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

Can't see photos after moving iphoto library to new imac.

The info for each picture and folder is there but there is not thumbnail or image. Any help?

Then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
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. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8

What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8.0.2? How do I recover them?j

Hi arnpa,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've updated your iOS device to iOS 8, the photos should still be on the device. The photos will be organized differently than they were previously, though.
In iOS 8, the Photos app organizes photos by date instead of by device or photo source. Here are some questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8.
Where can I find the Camera Roll?
The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
When you open the Photos app and tap the Photos tab, you'll see your photos and videos listed by Moments, Collections, and Years. Tap Moments to see individual photos organized by date and location, tap Collections to zoom out to a more condensed view, and then tap Years to zoom out even more. Tap a collection or year to zoom back in.
And you'll now have a Recently Added album, which shows the photos and videos added to your device in the last 30 days, organized by date. To see your Recently Added album, tap Albums > Recently Added.
Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
If you were using iPhoto for iOS, make sure that you migrated your photos.
From:
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
If the photos are no longer on your device, and you backed up to iCloud or iTunes, you may need to restore from a backup:
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Can't see photos taken on iPhone on my iPad

I have done the setup for iCloud using the settings screens on my iPhone and iPad but can't see photos taken on one device on the other. What am I missing?

Check Settings>iCloud to be sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account with photo stream enabled. Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not earlier photos. They are uploaded when the camera is closed, you are connected to wifi, and your device has at least 20% battery life remaining.

Has anybody lost imported photos after upgrading to Lion? (iphoto11)

Has anybody lost imported photos after upgrading to Lion? (iphoto11)

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. .

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;
If running, turn your computer off.
Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
Now start your computer but also;
'''Windows; '''Press the <F8> key repeatedly.
'''Mac: '''Hold down the Shift key.
'''Linux; '''Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted
into various run levels that determine which resources are loaded.
For example, "runlevel 1" is typically the equivalent to Windows and
Mac safe modes.
* Source; '''[http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Linux+Safe+Mode Safe Mode; Free Online Encyclopedia]'''
When the '''Boot''' menu is displayed, release the key you were pressing.
You must now choose what mode to use. The most used are;
* Safe Mode; The computer runs with only a minimum set of programs.
