Imovie: missing imported photos when skimming

imovie:  when I skim over photos I've imported to my project, other pictures from the project appear in the large screen.  Why don't the ones over which I'm skimming appear?  Where did they go?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
My guess is you have two libraries. One is on the external, has all the older pics, the other has the new additions.
To find the other, go to the Finder Go Menu -> Go to Folder and type in /Volumes/The Name of Your External HD...
Can you see the opther library there? If so, drag it to the desktop, and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the libraries.

  • IPhoto thinks it is importing photos when it is not. Help?

    On my laptop, iPhoto thinks that it is importing photos when there isn't any devices plugged in. It will not let me quit due to this and I also cannot restart my computer, run software updates, etc. Any suggestions would be great. thank you!

    Use the Force Quit command, under the Apple Menu

  • Imported Photos when NOT connected to network drive is missing

    I connect to external disk drive for my photos.
    But when I wasn't connected to the drive, I imported photos just fine - was able to see them all (the just imported one). I could see "blank" thumbnails for the network photos (because I wasn't connected).
    Next time I connected to the external drive, the photos i just imported, when I wasn't connected was missing?
    ANY HELP? PLEASE? THANKS.

  • IMovie not importing photos

    After upgrading, some of my photos will not import into iMovie 10. They show up in iMovie as just green blanks! I thought it might be because I was trying to import jpegs directly from a folder, so I imported all of the photos into iPhoto and opened the iPhoto in iMovie. I can see the photos in the iPhoto folder in iMovie, but when I try to add them to the movie, again, just a blank green space. What is wrong!?!?!?

    I wish I had an answer for you, but sadly, the same thing happens to me. I've had this happen multiple times using Mac Mini with OS X 10.5.8. Another issue similar to this one is that the photo will just show up as BLACK--nothing else. Wish we could both get some help on this, but I'm not holding my breath...

  • How can I get iPhoto to NOT automatically import photos when I plug in my phone?

    I use iPhoto to do quick, simple touch-ups to my pictures, but when I am in the middle of editing and plug in my phone just to charge, it automatically begins a new import and takes me away from my work, which is beyond annoying.  If I want to import my cell phone pictures, I am savvy enough with the program to do it manually when I want to.  I have tried navigating 'Preferences' and there appears to be no way to change this, which is a poorly missed feature.  Help?

    iPhoto doesn't import anything unless you tell it to. All it's doing is offering to import. No you can't stop that window appearing. You'll just have to click cancel.
    iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    is the route to the developers for feature requests.

  • Is there a way to recover missing imported photos to IPad 3??

    I imported 1500 photos to my I Pad today, now they are gone, They were saved in my imported folder and now they are gone. Is there any way to recover these missing photos? IPad 3

    You can restore from your iTunes or iCloud Backup if you have one.

  • Imovie not importing photos properly

    Imac running Snow Leopard, 4Gig RAM. Have started an event and dragged in some video scenes, now when I add photos from the iphoto gadget, the photos don't show up when I'm previewing the movie. Each time I drag a new photo onto the event list, the image of the photo reverts to the first photo I've dragged in, and they don't play upon previewing the movie. I've done this dozens of times on my other IMAC running Leopard, but for some reason I can't get it to work on this IMAC. Any ideas? I've tried rebooting and same thing happens. The only different thing I have done is that I copied over the template event from my other IMAC into the drop box of this IMAC and then copied it into the imovie events folder and loaded Imovie and started using it.

  • IMovie Missing File search when launched

    Hi
    A while back I deleted an audio file that I was using in one of my videos in iMovie. Im not too worried about it since I think I'm done with that project anyways. The problem is that whenever I open iMovie, it keeps telling me the file is missing, but gives me no information to the effect of a) where the file was, b) what project the file was used in, and c) how to fix the problem. I honestly have no idea where that file was suppose to be located, or what project I was using it in. I have removed all of the projects that I thought it was used in, but iMovie still does the search. Does anyone know how I can remove the information from iMovie so that it no longer looks for that file?
    Thanks

    Golden Rule No 43: never update (in your case: downgrade) in the midths of some project…
    indeed, since iM5, imovie-projects no longer are open folders, but closed packages… to open such a package, you simply crtl-click and choose "show package content" from context-menu.
    iMovie has a very… ehm, "fragile" file managment system… I wouldn't fumble with it manually.
    two options:
    * launch iM6, choose "import to timeline" in prefs, drag'n drop from folder the 300clips into iM…
    * not recommended, but worth a try: open iM6 project (copy of…) with mentioned ctrl-click/package, and drag'n drop 300clips into "Media"; on next launch of project, iM should show some alert… hit accept & have a look what's happening (in iMovie2 that was a usually routine - and working…)
    besides:
    ... i ended up with 300 clips in my external hardrives iTunes file....
    hä?
    iTunes too have an elaborated file management, don't fumble that too...-
    why did you select your iTunes folder for storing your iM project? be careful with hitting "yes", "accept", "proceed", "just do it!!"

  • It starts to import photos when connect to pioneer head unit

    My ipod gives me an error that says no card present when I try and hook my ipod up to my pioneer car stereo. The no card present has something to do with importing pictures. Please help me!

    Hello ameliacootah,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to sync a photo album from your computer to your iPhone, but have thus far been unsuccessful. If you would no longer like to use iCloud Photo Library and would rather sync your album(s) over using iTunes, first disconnect your iPhone from the computer and then turn off iCloud Photo Library under Settings > iCloud > Photos. Once iCloud Photo Library has been disabled, connect your iPhone to iTunes again and you should be able to sync your album as described in the article below.

  • Missing imported photos and their albums

    Hi, and thanks in advance.
    I've been using my iMac and iPhoto for about a year, with a (now) huge photo library. There have been no problems, and it's organized as I need it to be.
    Yesterday, I imported 4 new events, from 2 iPhones and 2 Canon cameras. All worked fine. I added comments, established albums, added keywords all as normal. Fine.
    This morning, I get in to iPhoto, and all of my new work is gone. In fact, there's nothing there since about January, which is just not right.
    I've not had to get tremendously talented with Mac OS, so I'm not even sure where to start with this. I did force Time Machine to run each time I added the photos, but (stupidly) I have deleted them off the phones and cameras.
    Have I lost my trip photos? If not, where can I find them on the original disk, or from within Time Machine (which I've never had to resort to before.) Lastly... what happened and how do I keep it from ever happening again?!
    Thanks again, I appreciate all the help.

    Am I to understand that something has failed then, at this point? Is rebuilding my only option, it's not that I've failed to open the correct file somewhere, or anything simple? I
    It is likely that you have some corruption of the database file and it has "forgotten" the changes since January.
    Is rebuilding my only option, it's not that I've failed to open the correct file somewhere, or anything simple?
    I doubt that you have failed to open the correct file, that would mean you have duplicate libraries. Really, few things are more simple than Option 1.
    (we've added almost 60k photos, and Apple had told me there was no upper limit.
    There is an upper limit - 250,000 images, so you have a little headroom just yet.
    Is there any point in my trying to learn how Time Machine works, and going back to a (functional) iPhoto library from last evening?
    Do you have a TM Back Up? Then yes, restoring it is the best solution after option 1.
    By backup, do you mean copying the entire iPhoto file in user, prior to relaunching iPhoto and trying to rebuild the library?
    Yes.
    is there a way for me to physically find the .jpg files I dumped last night into iPhoto, as these are my only copies of the photographs.
    Yes there is, of course, but it's best to see if you can restore or repair that Library. If you cannot, then you're back to square one - making a new library and starting over from scratch. But that should not be necessary.
    Anyway to get to them:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

  • My i-pod now tries to import photos when I put it on my bose ipod speaker.

    The i-pod works fine with personal headphones .
    does anyone have any suggestions on what the fault could be and how i can resolve it please?

  • HT4168 Why am I missing some photos when I go to epub?

    I am trying to convert a pages document to epub and I am losing 3 or 4 photos but keeping many others.  I have tried to reinsert photos, float and re-insert them in line with no success.

    Read earlier thread about ePub. I just answered a similar question. There are also several older questions of the same nature answered.

  • 1800 Photos on iPhone. Missing Photos During Copying from DCIM or Import Photos to PC only finds 1200. How to copy the other 600 photos from iPhone to PC?

    When I go to Settings > About -- I see there are 1800+ photos on my iPhone.
    When I try to copy the entire DCIM folder using Windows Explorer, or "Import Photos" when plugging in via USB, it only copies 1200 photos.
    I can see the photos on my iPhone, yet its not copying them all. I'd hate to have to manually find and copy 600 photos.
    Why am I not able to copy all the 1800 photos to my PC?
    Someone please help! thank you!

    First, reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Home screen will display again.
    Then open iPhoto and click on Preferences>General, and make sure that the option "Connecting Camera Opens" has iPhoto selected. If it does not, select iPhoto.
    Then try hooking up your device again. It should launch iPhoto automatically at that point and start the import.
    Post back if that doesn't work.
    Cheers,

  • IMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.

    iMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.
    Any ideas?

    You are probably looking in the wrong place - all photos in Photo view and in event too unless you have a corrupted library
    most common cause of your not finding them is bad sort - view menu ==> sort events
    Nest most common cause is a bad data/time on the camera - this can be corrected using a smart album to find the photos from that camera and then using using the adjust time/date command to fix the bad ones
    YOu can alwasy find the event a Photo is in by selecting it and selecting show event
