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.

Have you tried installing and updating apps from the iPhone itself?
If you have restrictions enabled go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure "Installing Apps" is on.

Xsan: Can see all LUNS on cvadmin but not using cvlabel

So i'm seeing a weird thing. I can see all LUNS on cvadmin, but i cannot see them using cvlabel, and hence it cannot mount it through pref pane -> Xsan. Anyone seen this behavior? The volume is a stornext FS.
Zoning is correct, and it actually mounts correctly the first time, but if you reboot it won't mount.
*edit. thought disk utility saw all the luns, but no

Did you manage to figure this out? What ATTO driver did you install? The MP (Multipathing) driver or the regular one? Unless all your devices support multipathing, the MP driver can cause issues with LUN visibility (you'll see duplicate LUNs etc.).

Can see Time Capsule in Finder but cannot view contents of it?

Hi guys,
I've been having this issue on and off. Most of the time my Time Capsule works perfectly but sometimes I cannot access the conents saved on it. I am able to see the TC under 'shared' in Finder but when I try to access the stuff I have saved on it and nothing shows up. The only way I can find to restore visability, is to restart my macbook. Any one have this same issue?
Thanks!

At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

I can see the video in Prelude, but not Premiere

I recorded an event with two cameras. One is a DSLR, the other is not. I can see all the footage in Prelude, but the non-DSLR footage will not export to Premiere. How can I fix this? Why is this happening?
I also tried importing directly into Premiere. That won't work either.

What are the details of the video that doesn't work?

In Mail, can see messages from RSS feed but not my e-mail account

Mac OS 10.5.8, Mail 3.6. Turned on the computer and could not see any e-mails, though computer idnicated there were a few waiting for me. Found the messages in finder, but can'r figure out how to get mail to see them. Receieved some RSS ["apple news"] emaages and they show up fine. Tried "rebuiding" & "reindexing" and re-importing to no avail. Any ideas?

Here is the new incoming server info to be changed in the accounts preferences box.
imap.mail.me.com
The old one is mail.me.com
The only possible problem I see is that sometimes the incoming mail server cannot be changed and you might have to create a new account, but I think,and I'm not sure, that this deletes your messages in the mail program, so back up before you try this. Just in case.
Hope this helps.

Can see my contacts in imessage but not in 'contact'

Hi there,
I'm encountering I think, a weird issue. I change my iphone recently, and for some reasons, when I synced my new one, I got back everything but my recent contacts. When I go on Icloud online, same thing, I can see only my 'old contact'. BUT, when I want to write a new text, I type on the '+' to add a number, and boom, I have all of them. But still not seeable in the contacts.... That's kind of annoying...Any ideas that could sort this out ?
Cheers. Pierre

Images in Finder but not in iPhoto

Just restored using Backup 3.1.2. Most pics & Events appear in iPhoto '08. However, most current pics (March to August) do not. I can see the pics using "Show Package Contents" of
Picture/iPhoto Library/Data
-OR-
Picture/iPhoto Library/Originals
If I click the file name, I can view the pic with Preview. How do I get these pics into iPhoto '08?
Many Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You're iPhoto database is damaged. Re-importing them to the db will be adding them to an unstable database, and the problem will recur at some point in the future.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
ps. The /Data folder contains the thumbnails that iPhoto creates for display in the iPhoto Window. Importing the contents of that folder will get you a lot of useless duplicates.

TD
