I can't see my iPhoto images

I've been uploading my pictures to my Facebook albums. I access iPhoto through the Facebook uploader feature.
These are the steps I normally take because it is most efficient for me:
I open X album in iPhoto
I select add photos to album in Facebook
On the left sidebar, under “Media” I select “Photos”
Under iPhoto there is “Events”, “Photos, “Faces”, “Places”, X album, “Last 12 Months”, “Last Import” and “Flagged"
I select X album
I select the photos I want to upload
Voilà
I do not upload them directly from iPhoto because I can’t put anything in the description of the photo, I can’t tag if I want to and I can’t insert the appropriate date.
Now, my issue is that I can no longer see the images in iPhoto. It’s as if I didn’t have any picture at all. I can see the Photo Booth ones just fine. But nothing in iPhoto.
I upgraded to Yosemite last night. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. Or maybe it was me trying to copy the iPhoto library to my external hard drive for backup.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

The screen on my MacBook goes black often. I can still see a faint image of what's on the screen, and can only get it to illuminate by moving it back and forth. What could the issue be? How can it be fixed?

The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.

Can't see my Iphoto Library

Just updated Iphoto. Now I can not see my Iphoto Library.

Restore from your back up.
For anythign else you need to explain more:
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window. When I select Media - Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window. When I select Media ->Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

Checking to see if iPhoto images transferred to external drive worked

I have decided to copy photos from my iPhoto '09 Library to an external Seagate harddrive. I want to still keep the originals on my MacBook Pro, but I am looking at downloading Lightroom 5 and starting to use it from 2014 going forward, instead of using iPhoto. Before I start working in a new program, I want to be sure all my images are backed up using a program I can operate. I double-clicked on my home folder and then the Pictures folder to open the iPhoto library. I right clicked on the file iPhoto Library, hit copy and then opened my Seagate external drive and hit paste. It took about 3 hours to copy and when I hit "get info" on the folder within the Seagate external drive, I see the same number of GBs of information as is in my iPhoto Library on my harddrive.
Here is the question: I want to be sure that,in fact, all my photos have been successfully copied onto my harddrive. When I double click on the folder in the harddrive which is titled, iPhoto Library, I see my iPhoto icon launch from my dock at the bottom of my MacBook, and across the top I see that iPhoto is the open program. Of course, all my events are where they always were, but I'm not sure I am looking at the events in the iPhoto on my harddrive or on my Seagate external drive.
Did I do something wrong?

I only want to use this external drive as a back up, not to be a default library. I still want to keep the default on my MacBook Pro. I only want to open the external drive to make sure that my photos have all been copied and are being stored there.
Then option launch again to change the default back to the internal drive
A second question I have, is when I download more photos into the iPhoto library on my laptop, or into what I hope to be a Lightroom Library, starting 2014, then when I hook up the Seagate External Hard Drive to back up next time, will it re-write all the previous photos which have currently been backed up prior to 2014, or will it just start with whatever photos (or new Lightroom Library) it does not recognize?
No idea - nothing in the standard Mac software will "re-write" anything - if you have backup software of some sort running then it will do what ever it does - unless you have something special set up nothing will change in the copy on the external drive until you specifically do something to change it
And note that LR and iPhoto can not share a library of the same photos - to use your photos with LR you must export the originals (or current depending on what you want) from iPhoto and then import those into LR

HELP! I can't see my iPhoto albums in iMovie. What can I do?

iMovie doesn't show my iPhoto picture albums or photos anymore. In the past when I clicked the "camara" icon all of the iPhoto albums would load and I could then drag and drop my photosinto my movie. Now I can't even see my albums. All it reads is " iPhoto images loading" and nothing ever loads. I have looked through the other forums and discussions which mention similar items & tried different things but nothing has worked. All of my software is up to date.

I'm new to this whole ipod thing, and leaving messages. I coulnd't figure out how to post a new message, but i have a similar prioblem to this, but not exactly the same. basically, i loaded my photos form my computer to my ipod, but now i want to delete some, and i don't know how to do this, and i can't find where the photos section is in my i-tunes. I think i have the latest version of i-tunes because i literally only recieved my ipod last week.
If someone can help me i'd really appreciate this, because apple help pages are not very useful
my email address is [email protected]
thnaks!!

ITunes can't see my iPhoto Library

This evening I updated iPhoto to v11.4 and after the update it required my iPhoto library to be updated to work with the updated version of the software. After that was complete, iTunes could no longer see my iPhoto library, albums etc. It looks like I have an empty iPhoto in iTunes. All my other iLife and iWork software can see my iPhoto library, albums etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you're having the same exact issue as I am but bottom line, after updating my iPhone 4 and my 3rd gen iPad to iOS 6 and doing the requisite updates on my macbook pro, my iPad will not show up in iTunes unless it's physically connected, even though the wireless sync option is selected and the only option in iTunes is to synch ALL photos, which results in an error 1140 and sync failure when selected. The option to sync selected albums is grayed out and below, no iPhoto albums show up. I think there's an issue with the iPhoto update or iOS 6. Not good!

I can't see my iphoto pictures

My photos are stored on an external hard drive, and we recently uploaded a new batch of photos. All of a sudden, we can only see those new photos. The iPhoto Library says it's 24GB so I know the other photos are still there. How do I get these back?

Try rebuilding the iPhoto Library......

Can't see my iPhoto events on Apple TV 2

Hi,
In iTunes I selected to show all my pictures from the last 12 months on Apple TV 2. They indeed show up correctly, but all in one album. I want to have my events show up as well. I need to scroll through 3000 pictures to get to the most recent ones at the bottom. It takes ages.
I'd like to see my events from the last 12 months as well, just like on iPhone/iPad. Any idea how?
Thanks!
Jef

I have also the same problem:
I can't see older photos events of iPhoto on my Apple TV 2nd Gen. Only recent events are shown and I have selected to see all photos, events and faces from the sharing preferences in iTunes. Does anybody have any idea how to solve it?
Does anybody with the new iOS beta for developers has tested this issue?

Hi a-Li,
to set the logging level to "finest" in MapViewer.
1) Edit the configuration file mapViewerConfig.xml located in MapViewer's WEB-INF/conf directory. Uncomment the Logging Settings section and update the parameter log_level to finest.
    <logging log_level="finest" log_thread_name="false"
             log_time="true">
       <log_output name="System.err" />
       <log_output name="../log/mapviewer.log" />
    </logging>2) Save the configuration file and restart MapViewer.
3) Got to MapViewer's web admin page and add the data source to your data.
4) Go to MapViewer's request web page and execute you request. You should see the log results in the console where you started OC4J (assuming you are using the standalone OC4J). Post the log.

Can't see shared iPhoto library

Computer A can't see Computer B's shared iPhoto library, but B can see A's. Both are running identical versions of iPhoto.
Both can see each other's iTunes library. Both can connect to each other over the network and transfer files to and fro (they're both on the same home wireless network, same subset).
Computer B has over 4000 photos, while Computer A has just a couple hundred; could that be a problem?
Here's what I have done:
Verified each iPhoto Preferences is set to "Look for shared photos" and "Share my photos".
Tried requiring a password, and not requiring a password
Verified System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall has "iPhoto Bonjour Sharing" checked.
Deleted each computer's iPhoto plist, and reconfiguring iPhoto Preferences as above
Turned off Little Snitch
Quit / restarted iPhoto a few times
Logged in / out, rebooted a few times
Researched iPhoto Help
Researched the discussion boards
Repaired permissions on both (as you can see, I'm resorting to voodoo tactics)
Googled the problem
Posted this topic
That's all I can think of to do.
So... what haven't I done?
Message was edited by: John Galt - 4000 photos

add to the list:
Created a "test" user account on Computer B, logged in as "test", launched iPhoto, and set it to share / look for shared libraries.
No change - A can't see B, B can see A. So it's unrelated to the size of the library, probably unrelated to anything iPhoto, probably a network issue. But what?

I can't see some of images on my webpage.

www.sinookpark.com
This is my webpage.
I bought Domain and Hosting through Korea Hosting company.
At first I had a problem to publish my webpage.
so I added .htaccess file on my FTP.
now I can see my webpage, but some of my images are not seen.
images of upside are available to see but some of images of downsides, I can't see.
I changed image a few times and changed name of file, but It doesn't work.
what can I do?
and every single time when I publish through iweb, they said they can't finish publishing my webpage.

Have a look at your image file names and make sure they have no spaces or special characters.

Where can I see the iphoto pictures?

Hello everyone.
First of all, this is my first time here for a mac. Previous times were always for my iphone.
I have been playing around with the iphoto, and as the itunes does, it keeps its own library, which I already found.
But the thing is that I cant find the pictures in it, just files. So for example if I want to transfer the pictures to an usb drive, I have to do it using the iPhoto?
And then another thing, if I already have a folder in my mac with pictures and I import them to the iPhoto, I will have them twice, isnt it?
I hope someone could give me a hand with this
Thanks for reading.

iPhoto is a manager for your Photos. It replaces the File browser for anything - and I do mean anything - to do with your Photos. It's the go-to app for your Pictures.
So, yes, to send a photo to a USB Drive: File -> Export or Drag and Drop from the iPhoto Window to the Drive.
By default, iPhoto copies the files into the Library on import, so yes you have them twice.
Some FYI:
Want to use a different photo editor:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Want to use your photos somewhere else...
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
