Images "Disappear" When Moving a Project But Really They'r e Just Invisible

Last night I imported 442 images into a new project. I rated them, and edited about 40-50. This morning I moved the project within the same library. When I did so, all the images disappeared, sort of. The project appeared empty. I let it sit a couple of minutes, and undid the move to no effect.
I checked to see if a filter was blocking the images but it was not the problem. I checked the Project properties and it showed the images were all there (plus, I use referenced files and I hadn't deleted the CF card so worst case scenario I had all my originals). Also, when I displayed all the projects in a browser view window, the project showed up and I could sweep through all the thumbnails in the project browser. But again, if I selected the project and tried to see the images in either the browser, viewer, or split view, nothing showed up. No thumbnails, no file names, no empty thumbnails, nothing. The photos were sort of invisible.
I "solved" the issue by moving an image - any image - from another project into the problem project. Suddenly that photo and all the other images, were visible. Removing the random image did not recreate the problem.
Since I no longer have the problem I'm posting for 2 reasons: (1) to publish the problem and my fix in case anybody gets the same problem, and (2) to see if anybody knows what caused this and if there is a more direct fix than my weird indirect fix. Thanks.

I have had the same thing happen consistently. I import images into a default project. Then when I move the project into an organizational folder... all the images disappear. After a couple of panics, I have now realized that if I stay calm, close Aperture, then open it again, the pictures are all present. Quite a pain in the butt, but at least there is a work around. Albeit a bit scary .
Best,
Jim

Photos disappear when moving a project into a folder

If I move a project into a subfolder, the images from that project no longer appear in the browser of thumbnail viewer. If I hover my mouse over the project, it shows the correct number of versions in that project, but for whatever reason, Aperture is unable to display those images until a reboot of the program. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi all
I too have had the same issue but seem to have found a way around it...it might work for you too. Its really simple!!! Ive tried troubleshooting etc but non of that has worked. Ill explain my problem first.
I drag a project into a new folder and the images disappear although when holding mouse over project it still tells me how many versions are there (the photos have not been deleted, aperture is just not seeing them - a glitch perhaps?
I then go into projects and find that particular one. The images appear there as thumbnails but when double clicking into that project they still are not there.
THE FIX - I simply drag that project over any other one and merge them. Then I hit undo (ctr z). Then presto they are back. I go into that project again and they are all there. Took me bloody ages to figure that out but its an easy fix and one I can live with.

White Balance Selector Disappears when moved across the image

Hi
I am using LR 4.4 on an iMac.
Does anyone know why the White Balance Selector tool would disappear when moved across an image?
it seems to change to a vertical line with an arror top and bottom.
The areas of the image on which it disappears seem to be consistent, in other words, it disappears on the same portion of the image eveytime.
UPDATE: Since posting the above a few minutes ago I've noticed that my cursor is behaving eractically. For example, on a different image to the one used above, in the library module using the Loupe the cursor changes from a magnifying glass to an arrow pointing to the right. It does this on the same part of the image every time.
Thank you for your help
Regards

Weird cursor problems are a FEATURE of the APPLE os.
There are complaints on the APPLE os system website since 2005.
The last time I checked there were 30 pages of discussions about this on the apple site
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion.
I don't think APPLE has a clue as to how to fix this. It is seen in many apps, photoshop most commonly, lightroom,textedit,exxcel, and others.
Pray that something happens in soon to be released 10.8.4.

Album images disappear when I transfer music to my iphone

Hello
Album images disappear when I transfer music to my iphone. I have my music lying in Apple Lossles format and transfer my music to my iPhone after iTunes har convert the music to AAC format. How do I get ITunes to transfer my music with album images?

I am so frustrated with my new iPhone 5 that I want to throw it against the wall. I did the turn in your iPhone 4 for an iPhone 5. They said to go to itunes and add your music. Well, I have been trying to do this for the last two days. I tried to call support but I have to pay an additional $49.99 to actually talk to someone. I need some one that can actually walk me through the steps. I read that you have to reset to factory and then go to itunes to get the thing to work. My question is - will I lose all my pics too? So what are the steps to reset to factory and then what do I do next (on iTunes). Please help if you know the answer. If I can't get my music, I plan to go back and turn in this phone and buy a different non-Apple phone!

Image disappears when using transform function

In Photoshop CS6, all of a sudden my image disappears when I try to transform a selection. Why is this happening? It didn't happen before, so maybe I accidently changed some setting, but I have no idea what it could be.

Determine what make and model GPU you have, then go to the GPU maker's website and download the latest driver and follow their instructions to install it.

There are bugs hanging around for version after version after version. Hopefully it gets fixed but nobody knows when or if a bug will get fixed until it is.

Why do items disappear when moved to the desktop?

Why do items disappear when moved to the desktop?

Are you perhaps referring to dragging an item out of the Dock and onto the Desktop?
If so, they are intended to poof-disappear when you do that.
The reason - the icons shown in the Dock are a form of alias, not the real item. Any running app will have its icon shown there; and those that do appear there can be made to stick even when the program is quit. This means that there must be a mechanism to get rid of them, else there would eventually be too many. One way is to right-click or Control-click the item, then select Remove from the popup menu that appears. A more convenient way is to just drag them off of the Dock and have them disappear.
If you want to replace an item on the Dock, just drag the item to the Dock, wait for the items already there to make room for it, then drop it onto the Dock. Apps can only be placed to the left of the vertical dashed line; folders can only be placed between the dashed line and the Trash.

Sessionrestore occasionally does not show my tabs as they were when I closed Firefox, but as they were some time before I closed it.

Occasionally Sessionrestore doesn't show my tabs as they were when I closed Firefox, but as they were at some seemingly random (but persistent if trying again) point between starting and ending my previous session. Occasionally they're exactly as they were when I started my last session. I'm currently using Firefox 5, but the problem was already present when I was still using 4. Perhaps it's also relevant that I tend to have lots of windows and tabs open, sometimes to the point of crashing Firefox.

I've increased my window limit to five too, though I'm unsure if I understand it's function correctly, I've reloaded more then three windows through session restore in the past. Anyway, that didn't have an effect. I haven't used app tabs at all yet, so I doubt that could be the problem. As for closing down Firefox correctly, the problem seems to persist regardless of how Firefox closes, be it a crash, killing it in task manager, or through file>exit. I forgot to mention this earlier, but I've monitored sessionstore.js, and it seems like that file literally stops being modified at some point, regardless if I keep browsing. If there's a way that I could "reliably duplicate" the process, I'd love to help, just say what I should do. It's been happening pretty much every browsing session lately, it seems that if I just browse for a decent while it's bound to happen.

All website PDF s disappear when I try to open. They go somewhere.Where and Why?

All website PDF s disappear when I try to open. They go somewhere.Where and Why? A green arrow shows.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

Using Pages - Images disappear when not on the 'paper' part of display

using pages for a poster design - need to 'park' some images not on the page itself but to the side - when moved off the 'paper' disappear - just left with the 'outline indicators' - how can I keep the image visible whilst not on the 'page' I'm setting out?

Rod,
To simulate that behavior in Pages, open a blank Page Layout document and arrange the new document window to the side of your working document. To "park" a graphic, select and Command-X in the working document and Command-V in the "parking lot" documemt.

On fcp6 - all of a sudden my titles and images disappear when timeline stops. Can't edit or see titles.

titles and stills work fine in playback, but disappear when timeline stops. Can't edit titles. Can't find how to bring things back. restarted FCP and Mac.

Second image shows outline of title over background image. All images are .jpg finished in Photoshop as I normally do. They worked fine during the first half hour of editing.

Why does my image disappear when I create a slice?

I am trying to create a simple rollover where the font size is changed when the mouse hovers over the link. When I create a slice of the text area, the image disappears. Can anyone tell me why and how to correct this? I have viewed several tutorials, so I am confident that I have created the 2 states properly and am applying the slice correctly, but for some reason the image disappears in both states when I do.

Thanks, Jim. Can you tell me how I can determine if I have the correct slice type selected (image vs HTML)?

Image Disappears when Adding Adjustments in Aperture 3

I am experiencing odd behavior when using the adjustment tools in Aperture 3. I tried to crop an image and instead of staying on screen for me to finish the adjustment, the image disappeared. I was able to save it by undoing. I created a version of the image and I could crop that OK. I have Add New Version when Making Adjustments checked but it does not seem to be working.

I've had a similar "disappearing" image problem when trying to apply the retouch tool. I don't have the "create version when applying adjustments" preference checked though. Hopefully these issues are additional 3.0 bugs that will get fixed in 3.0.1. Be sure to report the issue to Apple using the "Aperture > Provide Aperture Feedback" menu item.

Appearance of images changes when moving from ACR to PSE11 Editor .. why?

I run Windows 8.1 x64 bit on my new PC and use PSE11 which opens raw files automatically into ACR. Once I've finished editing an image in ACR I then click on 'Open Image' which transfers the part edited file to the PSE11 Editor. Once there I perform a few additional tweaks before cropping, sharpening and saving as a jpeg.
At about the same time as I installed PSE11 onto my new PC I became acutely aware of a change in the appearance of my images as they transferred from ACR to PSE11 Editor. Having performed the basic adjustments in ACR and things are to my liking, the image now opens in PSE11 Editor looking rather washed out by comparison .. less contrast, maybe a little more brightness and a certain degree of reduced colour saturation.
Obviously all images are seen on the same monitor, so any fingers pointing at calibration issues don't count in this instance! I just need to know if there is a fix that will return me to the situation I've always had before, where the part edited ACR image looks the same when it opens in the PSE11 Editor. I have been using PSE in various versions for a number of years and this is the first time that I've experienced this irritating problem.
Help, please!

Thanks for your reply Michel ...
The colour setting in both Editor and Organiser is: 'Always Optimise Colours for Computer Screens'
I believe this option will select the sRGB colour space by default and that the option 'Always Optimise for Printing' will default the colour space setting to Adobe RGB. Is this so? I only print occasionally (most of my viewing is on the monitor or the TV) but it would be nice to know if the chosen colour space chosen produce this odd effect I'm experiencing (although I sincerely doubt that it's got anything to do with it).
This option will be used by the ACR conversion module to set the colour space of the file imported in the editor. So, you are right, the sRGB colour space is a good choice for you. What's good is that the raw file itself has NO colour space. If you have edited a raw file for sRGB, good. But you can set your editor to 'optimize for print', and you'll get an aRGB version for printing. Worth a try if you have a good printer (mine is an all-in-one with 6 inks and I can see the difference for some subjects).
My camera (EOS 5D MkIII) is always set to sRGB. Is this significant?
No for raw files. That's used only for the in-camera conversion to jpeg. It's a simple tag which is ignored in the ACR conversion process (see above).
The main issue though remains, namely the fact that part edited images look washed out in PSE Editor in spite of looking just fine in ACR a split second earlier, so I'm still looking for a remedy.
Such a difference is often noted when a file with aRGB colour space is seen in a software that believes it's sRGB. Nothing in your worklows seems to explain that.
Do you see a difference when you see the same edited picture in a non colour-managed software? I can't help you more for the moment.
