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......

How can I see my iphoto pictures on AppleTV via itune?

When I choose "Photo sharing preferences" in itune I can't see my picture folders from iphoto. There are zero photos available whereas I have thousands... Home sharing is turned on. It seems that the picture library cannot be found.

when your phone is plugged in, on itunes you click your device. and on the device summary page, there are 4-5 tabs. one of the tabs is photos. you can choose the photos file you want to add to your phone there.

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.

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.

Can I share my iphoto pictures with AT

Can I share my iphoto pictures with my AT&T Uverse tv?

Yes, this is exactly how I use iPhoto on my system.
You do need to update the permissions on the iPhoto directory after it's moved to the Shared folder. the default permissions will only permit your account to fully access the files, your wife's account will get errors or not see thumbnails correctly when accessing the pictures from iPhoto in her account.
After moving the iPhoto Library into Shared (and with iPhoto closed), Get Info on the iPhoto Library folder and change the Others access to Read+Write. Let it apply to all enclosed folders, also. Then hold down the Option key while starting iPhoto and choose the Shared version of the folder as your Library. Repeat the iPhoto launch w/option key on the other account as well and each user will access the same set of pictures, albums, keywords, etc. Just make sure you don't open iPhoto from both accounts at the same time. Close iPhoto before walking away from the computer or letting the other person logon.

Why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows with iTunes 10.5.1?

why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows since iTunes 10.5.1?

Assuming Apple doesn't eviscerate the files of the secondary graphics with another upgrade, there could be a plug in that reads the graphic and runs along side iTunes..we should get someone or Apple to program an alternative If we have to accept this downgrade in iTunes proper.
I've developed a quick workaround, and am still hoping Apple will fix this!
Go To Get Info on the tune you want to see secondary artwork for.
Go To the Artwork tab
Drag the back cover to the desktop, and it will create a new jpg you can open with quick viw or prieview where you can see it large!
you end up with a lot of jpgs on the desktop to discard!

Can't see my documents/pictures on all my devises since I update software to SO8

can't see my documents/pictures on all my devises since I update software to SO8- Apple said the drivers are not updated on my Mac - that an update will coming soon to fix this problem - now I see an update to OS X Yosemite - but for the reviews/comments seems like this is not going to fix the problem it looks like is going to make it worse - seems like better not update it - I have problems already - any comments from anyone?

Mac Pros don't run Classic operating systems. Mac OS X 10.8 is Mountain Lion. See options for data recovery here: http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689

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.

Open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences and disable automatic login, and then go into the Security & Privacy pane and set the computer not to log out after a period of inactivity.

I use aperture 3 since a long time. Using slit viewer, noe the bigger image become bigger then the given space and shifted to the right, so that I can't see the complete picture anymore. And I also don't see the last few picture in the strip below. How can I splve this problem?

This lloks like your preferences file might have become corrupted.
you probably have a problem with corrupted user preferences.
Remove the Preferences: Remove the Aperture's user preferences from the User Library as described here:
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Note:Your User Library is hidden by default in 10.7.x or later - to open it in a Finder window use the "Go" menu from the Finder's main menu bar.
Quit Aperture, if it is running. Log off and on again.
Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
From the "Preferences" folder remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
Then try to launch Aperture again.
But deleting the "Preferences" file will cause Aperture to forget the preferences settings. Be prepared to have to reset all options you set using the Aperture Preferences panel.

Can't see newly uploaded pictures in iPhoto

Hi everybody, I'm facing a problem with iPhoto I don't know how to solve.
I recently upgrade to iPhoto 9.3.2 on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.4
Since a few days, after uploading the picture from my camera into iPhoto, I can't see them in the thumbnail list.
None of the different list options (last 18 months, all the pictures, etc) show the pictures.
But they are actually within the iPhoto library (I inspected it and saw the pictures); more, if I connect the camera (which still has the pictures in the memory card) and run iPhoto, the program recognizes that the pictures were already uploaded.
The camera is a (newly purchased) Fuji X10.
I tried to run the "thumbails reconstruction function", with no success.
Any hints? The (apparent) lack of the pictures is driving me crazy!
Thanks in advance to everybody!
Giovanni
