I can't see some photos

I saved to my HD many pages from the Web containing photos and now that I look back at it, after weeks or months (and I think in some cases, just the same day) I realize that many do not have the photos. It has everything else; text, links, etc but not the photos. Instead it has a tiny blue square with a question mark in the middle (and no, I can't click on it).
I'm a photographer. I visit a site called modelmayhem (www.modelmayhem.com).
I don't know if I have this also on other sites. I don't think so.
I use Safari but I had this also in the past when I was using Internet Explorer.
I do File-->save as-->web archive
(I have only 2 choices anyway with OS X this or save as page source)
Also, on some pages there that contains 20 photos, I would see a few (maybe 5-6 or maybe 12 or so) but not the rest.
So some photos I can see and some not, although they are on the same page, downloaded the same day, that's not logical.
Why can't I see something I downloaded ?
PS: I have other pages, from other sites that I downloaded, and while the sites don't exist anymore, I can still SEE the pages I saved. (of course if I click on anything, a link for example, I will get some error message) but I can see the photos and text that was on that page.)

once I save/copy the picture on a disc is it permanent ? will I be able to see it even if they remove the photo from the Web ?
I understand that when I save a photo or page on my HD I only copy the link and when the photo or page is removed I won't be able to see it.
Also when I click on a page with a photo that was on my HD, it will show no image just text, if I'm not connected to the internet. But once I'm connected it will show it.
So saving a page with photos on your HD actually doesn't mean a thing; your page is not saved ! meaning you can't see it whenever you want, even years from now. If they remove the page, you won't see anything (just text and sometimes not even that).
So again, once I save/copy the picture on a disc is it permanent ? will I be able to see it even if they remove the photo from the Web ?
Maybe I'm naive but once it is on a disc I should see what is on the disc, just like I watch today a VHS tape with "The Odd Couple" or "Taxi" although these shows are not on the air, the stations doesn't even exist anymore but it's all irrelevant because I COPYED the show, it is physically on my tape and therefore I can see it anytime I want. Isn't it the same with a disc ?
In other words is there a difference between saving something on your HD and saving it on a disc ?

Why can I see some photos in iphoto just fine, but then I will drag something in, edit it, and when I go back later it is not in photos or events. If I search my computer, I can find it, but it doesn't show up in iphoto. Yet other photos show up fine!

I am completely confused by this. Should all photos loaded into iphoto show up? What makes some different from others? Does it matter if they are on the desktop first, straight off the camera, or sent to me via email?? Why should they be different in any way? I just worked on 2 differnt photos - one was sent to me via email, placed on the desktop and dragged into iphoto. It shows up as an event. The other was sent via email, saved directly from the email to iphoto - I went in and edited it and now it is nowhere to be found. Help!!!!

In your post here you say:
But I can find the photo when desperate by searching the computer through another system. When I find the photo, it has all the iphoto edits made, but it is NOT in iphoto.
What "other system" are you using to search? And, when you find the Photo, where is it?
Storing files in folders is not using a Photo program at all, it's just using the file manager for the job. You can do this on your Mac just as easily as on your Windows box, with the same advantages (it's easy to understand) and limitations (it's inflexible, limited and treats your photos the same way as it treats your text files.)
iPhoto is a different kind of program alright, and once you finish the learning curve - and for most folks, that's not very long - you may see some additional advantages over storing files in folders. Maybe you won't. It's not for evertbody, but frankly, "if all your friends" can "never find any photos they are looking for" when iphoto offers far more ways to manage, arrange, categorise and seach for your photos than the file manager does, then perhaps you need to look closely at your friends
Seriously: I post this for folks who are getting to know iPhoto for the first time. It's just one way of using the app, but it does demonstrate what I mean by being more flexible than the file manager:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 39+k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

Iphoto- Can't see some photos

An 'i' on a black screen won't allow me to see some of my photos. How do I get rid of it?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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 *iPhoto 08* 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.

Can't see some photos in Organizer - Photoshop 9

In Organizer, I am using the "Folder Location" display view. I imported some photos from a folder by doing the following: I right clicked on the folder from which I wanted to import the photos and then left clicked on "Import to Organizer." When the process was done, I then clicked on "Show All." With that folder highlighted, only the thumbnails of some of the photo files from that folder appear (that folder highlighted) on the Orgnaizer screen. Other thumbanils of photos in that folder do not appear on the screen. I can verify this by right clicking on the folder in question and then left clicking on "Reveal in Explorer" which shows all the photo files in the folder in question. Also, no "Keyword Tags" are checked. The photos that do not appear from the folder in question are ones that have copies in other folders.
1) What could be causing this problem of some photos in a folder not appearing in the Organizer screen using the "Folder Location" display view and that folder being highlighted?
2) How can I be sure that all photos from a given folder appear in Organizer when I use the "Folder Location" display view in Organizer?
Thanks.

Can't see some photos in iphoto

Hi - I have a lot of photos stored in iphoto, and there are loads that, above a certain picture size, are showing blank. By picture size, I mean the slider at the bottom left or right (depending on which version of iPhoto - I have the same pictures on an old and new mac, hence with differnet versions of iPhoto). When set at the smallest size, all photos show fine. Above a certain size though they show a blank frame, and when I try to open them, I get a black background, with a grey trainagle or circle with a exclamation mark in the middle. Does this mean the files have been somehow corrupted? Are they therefore lost forever?

If the original files are still in the library but not being recognized by iPhoto and the rebuilding doesn't work this might:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
You can tell if the missing files show up in this new library and if they do try rebuilding the problem library with iPhoto Library Manager.

Can't see all photos on Camera Roll on laptop

I have a slightly unusual problem with my iPhone. I have downlaoded quite a few camera and photo apps from the app store. All of these work fine on the phone itself and I can view all pictures taken and edited with the various apps on the camera roll on the phone. My problem occurs when I connect my iPhone to my laptop and access it using Windows Explorer. When I do this I can only see the photos taken on some of the apps and not all of them. Photos taken using ClassicPAN, ClassicToy, ShakeItPhoto, Pro HDR, Pano to name a few can't be found. If I want to transfer photos from any of these apps to my laptop I have to email them but I have hundreds of photos so this is not feasible. I have a brand new Samsung laptop so maybe some of the settings are wrong but I don't even khow where to begin looking. I would appreciate any help you might be able to give me.

What visual presentation do the other 900 photos have? A Dotted Square? Do you get a ! or ? when you double click on them?
IF so: 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. 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 keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

I can only see one photo at a time

I use to be able to see a thumbnail of all my photos. Now for some reason I can only see one photo at at a time. I have to use the scroll bar to go up and down. It is so frustrating. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
In the lower right corner of the iPhoto window is a slider. Move it to the left. Does that work?
Regards.

I can't see some of the pictures in iOS 7

The missing photos appear with the text JPG, but not all of them are gone. Does anybody know what's wrong??

Hi guys,
When I open some messages in Microsoft Outlook 2003 I can't see some parts of the message body. This is very vague. What does 'some messages' mean. What is different about these messages compared to the other messages that do work e.g. size, age, attachments, forwarded, replied, application that sent the email (e.g. webmail/another email client), MIME structure etc.
What does 'some parts' mean? You cannot read the text/html/attachments/multipart alternate parts etc?
With Outlook Express is all ok. We use Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2 (built Dec 2 2004) with Messaging Express as webmail. This is clearly an old version. What OS are you running (please supply ./imsimta version output in future)?
There are known bugs with Outlook handling of certain emails that we output in earlier 6.2 releases e.g.
bug# 2129307 - "Outlook is unable to display all content in replies from IMS that contain nested"
The same problem is happening with Internet Explorer 6 and 7.Not sure what this means. IE is a web-browser not an email client.
I don't know how to get out from this problem beacuse 50% of our users use Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook.I would suggest step (1) is to patch your messaging server installation.

Facebook for Blackberry: can't see any photos

Hi,
I'm new to Blackberry, I just bought a Curve 8520 a friend did not use anymore (he got a newer Blackberry, haha). And I'm facing some difficulties with Facebook for Blackberry: I can't see any photo.
OS: 5.0.0.900
App: Facebook for Blackberry (by RIM) - version 1.9.0.28
Carrier: Rogers Wireless. On prepaid plan (Blackberry Social 40)
Everything worked alright this week, I remember using the Facebook app on Monday and Tuesday wihout noticing anything. I happen to have noticed on friday night that no profile picture nor photos in photo albums to show when in Facebook app (but the problem could have started before).
It does not seems like it's a problem with Facebook authorizations, as I can see every profile picture when I'm on my desktop PC and when I go to Facebook mobile website using my BB's browser on WiFi.
If I try to see a photo from an album, I get the followinf error: "Failed to download the requested image".
If you have any suggestion or need more info, please don't hesitate, I'll gladly read and answer you!
(I tried a quick search on this problem, but did not find anything really helpfull. But this guy seems to have had this problem on last April, and he did not get an answer...)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Where did you get the device? Is it possible that it has an IT policy on the device blocking Facebook and/or Facebook options? Look in Options >Security Options >General Settings (actual menu paths vary with OS version) and see if there is any reference to IT policy.

I can't see my photo's! YIKES!!!!

I was working in Aperture 3, editing photo's in my latest project. I decided to move the project in the inspector so that it would be in alphabetical order with the other projects. When I did that my photo's disappeared. In all projects. I am currently unable to see any photo's in any projects. I know they are still there in the Aperture Library. Went to "show package contents" in AP Library and everything is still in there. In the inspector, it shows each project by name and even the number of images in each project.
I just can't see any photos.
Checked quick preview, and filter settings for viewing. All is correct there.

Hi,
Please try right clicking the image and select Update Thumbnail.
If the problem still persists, please go to the location of catalog folder mentioned in Help > System Info
Rename the thumb.5.cache file to thumb.5.cache.old and now relaunch the application.
Please note if the file size is large, application will take some time in generating thumbnail.
Thanks,

I have like 4-5 teeny tiny dots in the screen of my iphone i don't know what they are from. I can only see some of them when I tilt my phone a certain way. And they are little bitty but I am wondering what they are from

my total library is 680 mb, nowhere close to the 2.08 in the pictures folder. I am obviously messing up.
Actually you’re not.
The iPhoto Window reports the size of the library that would result if you exported all the current versions +and nothing else+ to a folder on the desktop.
The iPhoto Library Folder contains the Original, Modified and thumbnail versions of your pics. It also contains various cache and database files +all of which are necessary+ for the working of the Library.
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.
You can run a Library on an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Can't see some of the .MOV videos I took (on my Mac).

Hi!
When I import every photo and video from my iPhone through Image Capture, I can't see some of the videos I took with my iPhone. I have the iPhone 4. However, I can see them on my iPhone—precisely not on my Mac. They are .MOV video, and nor QuickTime nor VLC can't read them.
What should I do?
Thanks a lot.

I'm not near my Mac right now but when I try to open the videos with QuickTime, it says that it doesn't recognise the format—it gives me an error notification. I will try to convert it but I don't think it is going to work since the video seems to be flawed.
Thanks.

My Ipad cannot save anyphoto that doing capture, save photo include e-mail and save photo in safari except only by itunes.. how can i save some photo :(

only use itunes, it save photo
my ipad cannot save anyphoto
in e-mail
in some app.
in safari..
I do save some photo
then I see masage photo is saving my album
but.. nothing in my album.
how can i save some photo..

You are checking the Camera Roll or Saved Photos album in the Photos app ? If so then you could try a reset to see if that fixes it : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I can only see some of the info (e.g. the email Facebook gives you) for some friends in Contacts. I can see everything for others. Their b-days aren't listed in my Contacts (but these friends have their B-days on their profile on FB). Can anyone help?

Hello,
I can only see some of the information of my Facebook friends in my Contacts. For example, a friend has a birthday today. I received an email that she and another friend have birthdays this week. I received a notification on my iPhone and iPad that her birthday was today. It was never displayed in my Notification Center or Calendar beforhand, like it's displayed for other friend's (for other friends, it's displayed in the Notification Center, with the Calendar icon, 1 day before). I looked at every setting I could think of and the Help pages on Facebook. Nothing is working. My friend with the birthday today has her birthday openly listed on her Profile information on her Facebook page. In my contacts, her Facebook email (the one Facebook assigns you when you join) is listed. However her picture and birthday are not listed. I displayed my Facebook Contacts only, and roughly 20 showed up and not the rest. It's like the devices are not recognizing those people and putting their information in the respective places. I have an iPad 3rd Gen, iPhone 5, and MacBook Pro (purchased in January 2013. I hope that helps) and ALL the software updates are current. Can anyone help? Also, my MacBook cannot access my Contacts from Yahoo. Despite my typing in the correct password repeatedly as well as deleting and adding the Yahoo account again. I'd be grateful for any and all help. Thank you.

Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?
