IPhone can't see photos in iPhoto that are earlier than 2008

I have 2500 photos in iPhoto but iTunes/iPhone only thinks I have about 287 and they all seem to be photos I've uploaded in 2008 (but not necessarily taken in 2008 - like my album 'Xmas 2007' where all the photos were from late december, but loaded onto my PB in 2008).
iPhoto is working fine, by the way, they're all there and happy. It's iTunes that doesn't seem to be 'seeing' them.
Any ideas? It's driving me round the bend. My Mac is becoming more and more like a PC - doing these random things which seem inexplicable.

How can I see photos in iphoto 7.1.4 that don;t show up?

There are photos on my hard drive (under originals) that do not show up in Iphoto 7. When I try to drag the photos over to I photo from the Originals file, I get an error message saying that the photo already exists in the library.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
first you should never be mucking around in your iphoto library and especially you should never move or change any files inside the iPhoto library - doing so may corrupt your iPhoto library and cause you to lose data
Second you can not import photos into iPhoto from the iPhoto library - this is to protect you from damaging your library and to prevent creating duplicates
What specifically is the problem? how did the photos get into the iPhoto library? have you modified the iPhoto library using the finder in the past?

I can't seem to access new mail on my I pad . I can only see strings of messages that are related to each other. I also have lost the ability to search for messages that are no longer on display on my I pad.

I cannot seem to access properly any more the new e mail messages on my I pad. I can only see strings of messages that relate to each other.
Also I cannot search for old messages that have now disappeared . The search bar has disappeared.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

ITunes can't see photos in iPhoto albums

Hi everybody,
I've just got my iPad yesterday and I'm loving it.
Alas, I can't seem to sync my iPhoto albums. They display in iTunes correctly, they all have photos in (in iPhoto) but when I select them to sync across, it states that there are zero photos in the albums.
Its also the same thing with my iPhone as well. I've the 3G model and can't sync photos to that either.
Any ideas?
I've already tried deleting the iPod cache within the iPhoto folder in the hope that it would rebuild itself.
I've also tried creating a new album, and put photos in, but iTunes can't even see this, despite restarting my computer.
It seems that iTunes is displaying the albums, but not seeing the photos at all.
If anybody could help, that would be fantastic.
Cheers
Adrian
PS... I'm running a new 15" MacBook Pro, with Snow Leopard, latest version of iLife, with everything clean after a full new reinstall last week.

What is the format of the photos?

Can't see photos of iPhoto through my Apple TV after moving the iPhoto library to my Airport Extreme Disk. It keeps "loading user's library" forever...

Hi there,
some days ago I purchased an Airport Extreme router with disk to move my iphoto library there and free space of my crowded macbook pro.
Everything was working well (iphoto takes a little bit longer to start and quit) but now I can't see my photo library through my apple tv.
It keeps loading the library forever.
Is there any problem doing that?
Thanks
jm

Help,
Thanks for the quick answer and for the welcome.
Yes I selected it in the iTunes sharing options (in fact several times, with resets in between just in case)
I think that it's related to the size of the library (more than 8 gb) and e fact that is in a remote disk (in the AirPort Extreme)
Hope anyone has the solution :-))
Thanks again!

Iphoto photoshop brousing -can only see photos in iphoto albums not in pict

Why can I only see photos in albums and not in the general area of iphoto? In the finder it seems like there are no photos in the folders.
This started with my new camera a Canon A610 my older photos are there in any type of search. What can I do to make the Canon pictures show up in library. I am worried that the pictures are not there on my back up harddrive.

Please explain more about what you see and the circumstances.

Be very careful when you're poking around with finder. Don't tamper unless you enjoy bleeding ulcers.

Please describe what occurred when you imported from the 610.

Hi i have alot of photos in iphoto that are duplicates how can delete all duplicate in mass not individually? thank you

.

There are photos in my iPhoto albums which I deleted from my Photos albums.
There are photos visible in iPhoto, that you cannot delete in the Photos.app?
Have these photos been edited or or tagged with tags or captions? Then iPhoto will protect them from being deleted. They will be moved to an "edited" album. To be able to delete them, you need to revert them to the original version and to discard the edits.
Also, photos that you have synced to your iPad from a computer cannot be deleted on your device. YOu delete them by syncing again, with the album or folder deselected while syncing.

Can I delete photos from iPhoto that were used in an iMovie Project?

I made an iMovie Project with a lot of photos from iPhoto. I don't want some of the photos anymore. I would like to delete them from iPhoto but I am afraid it might affect the iMovie Project. Does any body know?

If you've finished the iMovie project and exported it to other media or file format, then yes, you can delete the files from iPhoto.
If the iMovie project isn't finished you should leave things alone.

TS4062 I can't see videos I have taken on my ipad either in iCloud or when I sync my ipad to my macbookpro (both are up to date) I can only see photos? The videos are only few seconds long?

Any ideas would be appreciated
Thx

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

HT201272 I can clearly see previously downloaded items that are still on iTunes, but I cannot download them on my new computer. Does anyone know how I can retrieve them?

I cannot download music from previous purchases, but I can clearly see them in the iTunes store. What is Apple trying to pull?

Why can't you?

Front Row can't see photos in iPhoto library

I have been experiencing intermittent problems with Front Row and its ability to find my iPhoto library. I have even tried changing/adding libraries, but it doesn't want to work! I keep on getting "You don't have any photos in your iphoto library" when I select "Photos" from my Front Row interface.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a fix?

This is a hint from "iphoto library manager" which helped me. If you run this program you will see if there is a problem in your albumdata.xml file...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7158
In my case the keywords caused the problem. i opened iPhoto, deleted the keywords and ran iPhoto again. then front row worked again...
i hope this helps you as well...
Advanced Troubleshooting
If you want to try to find the item in your library that is causing the problem, follow these steps as a general guide:
The error message displayed in iPhoto Library Manager, after saying "The album data file for this library is malformed", should then read "XML parser error:", followed by a more specific error that specifies a line number. Take note of that line number
Select the library in question, click the Reveal In Finder button to show the library folder, then double click the folder to look at the library's contents. The AlbumData.xml file should be inside.
Open the AlbumData.xml using a text editor that has a function that will allow you to jump to a particular line number in a file. Microsoft Word provides this function, as does the free text editor TextWrangler.
Once the file is open, jump to the line that is specified in the iPhoto Library Manager error message.
You have now found the point in the file where the data is malformed. From here, the exact steps to actually fix the problem can differ, depending on what part of the file the error is in.
If you see a line reading "<key>List of Keywords</key>" not too far up from your position in the file, then the problem is with one of your keywords. Open your library in iPhoto, open the preferences window, and go to the keyword list. Double click on the offending keyword to rename it, and just re-type the name of the keyword to get rid of any invisible characters that might be in the keyword's name.
If the problem is located in a record for a particular photos (you should see lines for properties such as "MediaType", "Caption", "Comment", etc.), then you can either go to that photo in your library and try to edit the photo's information, or you can just remove that photo from your library altogether and re-add it later. Finding the photo can sometimes be tricky, especially if the bad data prevent's the photo's title or filename from being written out to the file.

No se ven las imagenes, can't see photos on iphoto '11

las fotos que tengo puestas en iphoto no se cargan, y se ven todas las imagenes asi:
Alguien sabe que podria hacer para solucionarlo????
Gracias

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

HT201317 my iPhone was stolen, can I access the photos on it that are older than 30 days?

Is is possible to access photos on an iPhone that were taken more than 30 days ago. I had my iPhone stolen, I'd used it for 6 months without ever syncing it to any computer, and since it was nicked I bought a MacBook Pro in hopes that through iCloud I could get all the data from my phone but only a few recent photos showed up in Photo Stream, not all the others. Any way to go back in time for the lost photos?
Also, only a few of my notes showed up too...any advice there?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, having tried to recover your photos via photo stream already, I doubt there is much you can do.

I can not see any email pictures that are in my emails

I use to be able to see pictures that came in on my iPad 2, but now I just see ?? In a blue box? What happened and can I get this fixed?

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

HT204053 can i see all the devices that are under my apple id ?

Please i need help someone stoled my ipod and i dont have i icloud.

You should see a back button at the top or other words (location services) that you can tap on to take you back to the previous screen. if you don't see that or ip the settings app doesn't respend, force close the app and relaunch it.
Double tap the home button. Find the settings app preview thumbnail. Swipe that preview thumbnail up and off the top of the screen to close it completely. Tap the home button. Then tap the Settings app icon again to see if that screen is gone.
IF that didn't fix it, repeat the steps to close the app. And then reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
