I can't see my pictures at all

Does anyone know what to do if you cannot see your pictures. All of my events are there just an exclmation mark instead of pictures.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

Can't See My Pictures--Just Empty Boxes

I just did a download of new pics from my camera to iPhoto. Somehow during the download I can't see my pictures in my library or in my albums. Just empty boxes show up. The count of the number of pics is accurate for both the albums and the library.
I restarted my computer, and rebooted with no luck.
I did a reboot holding down the "apple" and the "alt" key, and followed instructions, and still no pictures.
Any ideas of what I can do?

Danny:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What do you see in the library, empty thumbnail spaces or empty edit windows? Is it all the photos or just some? Check in the Originals folder to make sure you have the full sized image files in the subfolders. They should all be there. Also do you have folder in the iPhoto Library folder titled "Recent Imports" or something like that?
Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library folder or the iPhoto library database file, Library6.iPhoto?
If not and since you've tried rebuilding the library with no success you're going to have to start with a new library and import the image files from the Originals folder of the current library. Here's how:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
If you have a recent backup copy of the library post back and we can go from there.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't see my pictures after installation on new PC.

As a student in 2011 I worked with PhotoShop CS5. Now I have finished the studies, bought a new PC och have had help (of an it-expert, but not used to this program) to install the same program. Problem is that I cannot see my pictures at all! When I try Bridge- the same. What I see is only the symbols of the desk.
What am I to do? Reinstall and try again? But: what happens with my two licenses? Gone with the wind? Cannot afford to buy a new one. I am not technical at all, that's a problem. So please, try to explain this very simple!
Hopefully

As far as license management goes, you can deactivate the license yourself on a given machine by choosing Help - Deactivate... If the machine is no longer available, you can call Adobe customer support, explain your situation, and they'll help you reconcile their online database to match the systems you actually have in use.
Regarding your "can't see the images" issue... C.Pfaffenbichler is right, more information would be helpful. Don't assume you have to uninstall/reinstall just yet. You may have something basic, like a problem with your image file extensions or a cache that needs clearing.

Can't see my pictures

I can't see me pictures in the preview.I see only one and the same picture in all my happenings.When I klick on it I can see the pictures I was looking for, but it isn't easy to look for a photo if you see all the same pictures or just black picture.It started after an update, and new updates did not solve my problem. Does anybody know what I can do,so I can look for my pictures just by passing by.

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. Include the options to rebuild the thumbnails.

The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling?

How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling? I need to see all of my all day events at once. I use this for scheduling and comparing of # invoices. Going back and forth to scroll is cumbersome. I just want to be able to expand the top section so I can see everything at once.

Any ideas, anyone?

I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ideas?

That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

if it's ntfs microsofts filesystem then you need a windows machine to recover them

If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

When you email from iPhoto, you have a choice as to the size of the picture - choose medium and your friends will be able to see them. By the way, do your friends click on the photo attachment in the mail to open it?

You should get the mobile version of YouTube which sends Firefox a notice to open it in the YouTube App. That will have a much better playback experience than running Flash in the browser.

Hi Susan. Try a reset: Push and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release buttons.
