I can see the Thumbnail but can't open the Photo

I do like iPhoto '08 and the features it offers. My problem is that I can't seem to open the photo after importing. I can see the Thumbnail when I open an event. I click on certain photos and a big white exclamation point appears on a black background. !
This doesn't happen with all. Just a couple of photos within an event series. Has anybody else had this problem?

mrmarley
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
Regards

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and now don't have access to iphoto. I cannot find my iphoto library to back the photos up before upgrading the iphoto but see the photos when I try to change screensaver? Where are my photos so I can back them up?

The iPhoto library should be in your user folder/Pictures unless it was moved.

Photostream syncs but I can't see the photos in the native app.

Okay here is the problem I have. I own 2 Ipad2's one of them works great the other one does not. I can't see the photos in the photostream folder, but if I use a photo program I can see all the photos that are in the photostream folder or if I go and change the background of the iPad I can see all of the photos. So I know Photo Stream is working on the iPad but I just can't see them in the Photo Stream Folder. On my other Ipad2 it works great no problems using the same account.
I have tried to turn photo stream off and than back on, I have deleted the account from the IPad and turned it back on, I have powered down the IPad and than turned it back on....
Any Ideas? Should I just hard reset and start over ?
Thanks for the help

The iPod Nano does not have TV out, so you should see if you can return the AV kit.

I cannot find my most recent events. I can see the photos in "photo" but not event.

Why did my most recent events not appear?
I can see the photos in "photo" but not in events,and I named them and everything.

It does you are looking in the wrong place
either the date of the photo is incorrect or the event sort is wrong (view menu ==> sort events)
You also can select a photo in "photo view" and show event to find the event

My thumbnails have all disappeared. If I view events there is the same one for all 270 events and if I open an event I have clack thumbnails. I can only see the photo if I open it individually.

If I view events there is the same thumbnail for all 270 events and if I open an event I have black thumbnails. I can only see the photo if I open it individually.The only way I can then see the thumbnail is by editing each photo. Then to even further complicate matters the last editted phot is replaces as the thumbnail on all events foders!...grrr. This is what I awoke to two mornings ago after inly backing up my machine which I do every night.

No. Quitefrankly I didn't know I could even use iPhoto on iPad, I just have the photos app that came on it. This is on my laptop. I don't particularly like iPhoto I use it essentially to take photos off my camera and store all the originals. I use Photoshop. To work on them and store them in Dropbox (don't get me started on iCloud!). As I said this is a problem that seemed to crop up overnight after backing up to my external HD.

I downloaded a new album and can see the photos in it. But when I try to email one of them as an attachment, my latest downloaded album is nowhere to be found.

Right after I download pictures into a new album and can go to that album and see the photos, why don't they show up when I try to attach photos from that album to an email? This has happened twice before and after a week or more they finally show up as a source for an attachment to email.

Try restarting the computer

Hi,
I'm trying to upload photos from a USB into icloud so I can see them in my ipad, the problem is, I cannot see the "photos" icon on my icloud account in my PC, so I cannot upload anything. Please help!

To add photos to photo stream on your PC you first you have to set up iCloud on your computer and turn on my photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html. Then you can add photos from your computer to photo stream as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2606.

Clodo9, thanks for your response, but a "thunderbolt", or "mini-display" port is different from a lightning port. Old Toad found a solution:

What am I doing wrong please??

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.
