IPhoto 08 recent months library showing older pictures

On the left side of iPhoto you have the option to show last ?? months ( 1,2,3,4,5 etc) Well I set it to show last 2 month worth of pictures. But it still shows pictures in the from years ago. I did a time/date check and the pictures in there show the dates as early as 2004. I have the last 2 months worth but I don't want the rest in there. How can I correct this.

It seems to include events, not individual images. So if you have an event with just one of the images in the last month, all images from the event will show in "Last Month".
I don't know how to correct this other than splitting your events.

  • IPhoto 11...Thumbnails show, but pictures gone??

    Recently I went under iPhoto to find a picture I needed from an event that happened last year.  When I went under iPhoto, all my thumbnails/events show just fine, but when I double click one of the pictures in the events and it shows in the large window a black triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.  This has happened with virtually all my photos.  I've tried holding down command + option and ran through each option listed there, to no avail...any other ways to recover my photos?
    I'm on OS X 10.7.3 and iPhoto version 9.2.2.
    Any help greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks!!

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager 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. .

  • Showing Recent month is showing last several years.

    I believe that someone chased this one down and found that they had an event with lots of old pictures in it ( or photos with incorrect dates) and some new ones and that was putting all the photos in the event into the recent photos catagory
    Check to see if this is the case

  • IPhoto "Last 12 months" only shows 1 month from March-April

    On August 24th I imported some film into my iPhoto. Well I finally have a chance to go edit it and it is not there. After searching for it on iPhoto and my computer and an external hard drive- all just in case- I discovered that my iPhoto will only open up photos/video from 3/20/13-4/27/13. It says that that is what I uploaded in the last 12 months...I have uploaded a lot more than that and used it to create videos and export photos from my iPhone.
    I can't find my videos anywhere and it is for a project due on Monday.
    Can anyone help?

    Wondering: what happens to photos in the Last 12 Months folder, which have not been sorted into other albums, after 12 months..? -
    Nothing happens to them. The last twelve months album is just a window, showing you a current selection of your photos.  You can access all photos in your library either from the Photos view or from the "events" view. Each photo is a member of one of the events.
    You can define your own "last xxx month" albums with a different date range by defining a smart album from the File menu.
    Format the date according to the date format in your region settings.

  • Time Machine backup of external iPhoto library shows recent photos only as outline, no image. Any suggestions?

    The Time Machine backup of my external iPhoto library shows all pictures 'now' but previous backups show the most recent pictures only as box outlines, some with a curled corner. How can I see all pictures to make sure TM has them? And if I would need to restore photos from TM can I do this one picture at a time or only the whole library? If I upgrade to iPhoto 11, a more recent OS, or both, do the answers to any of these questions change?
    Many thanks!

    You can not use the iPhoto library while it is a TM backup - you must restore it to use it - and you must restore it all

  • Once I fix the thumbnail pictures in iPhoto, how do I make them stay fixed.  Everytime I turn the computer back on iPhoto goes directly back to having 1 picture for all thumbnails.

    I have been having problems with the thumbnail pictures in iPhoto.  It will typically show 1 picture for all thumbnails.  I have figured out how to repair the thumbnail pictures, but everytime the computer is shut down, the thumbnail pics revert back to 1 picture for all.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    how do you fix the thumbnailsd?
    what other fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

    I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem.  All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera.  Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library.  Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that.  To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
    I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it.  I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
    When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing  with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth.  This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it.  If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly).  How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
    Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

  • I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x.  Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications.  Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures.

    I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x.  Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications.  Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures. In fact, iPhoto indicates that I have zero photos in the library while at the same time indicating the file size as 12.5 GB.

    If your old iPhoto version was iPhoto 7, you need to run the iPhoto Library upgrader:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1523
    It will install itself in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    Run it, and after that, you should be able to open your iPhoto Library with iPhoto '11.

  • Older (tiger) cd photo library shows no pics when opened in iPhoto 11 (Mt. Lion)

    older (tiger) cd photo library shows no pics when opened in iPhoto 11 (Mt. Lion) how do i get to view those pics ?...thanx

    That library was created by iPhoto via Share ➙ Burn menu, correct?  It's old enough that you may have to drag that library to the desktop and open it with the Finder.  Then drag the subfolders from the Originals folder into your open iPhoto 9 library window to import.

  • Help, can't see older pictures in iPhoto

    In my iPhoto library on the most recent events and pictures can be seen. By recent I mean mid 2010 onwards. The ones I can't see date back to 1999. These have blank thumbnails and when I click on an image - nothing.
    Information like event name and date and the number of pictures inside is still intact as as the name of all my albums. The preview at the bottom of the screen shows the photos but after rebuild can still see older events but everything is blank now.
    I noticed the icon beside iPhoto library is just a plain white file and not the iPhoto icon. After hitting "show package contents" I also notice the icon on the AlbumXML is also plain white file icon.
    I tried iPhoto rebuild - nothing.
    I tried BatcMod - nothing
    I tried iPhoto Library Manager - rebuilt the photos and events I can already see.
    Can I go back in Time Machine and pick an earlier version of my library - if so how do I do it?
    I have more than 19000 pictures and am praying I haven't lost them.
    I recently upgraded to Lion and am not sure if this is the reason.
    Can anyone help me PLEASE??

    Hi Terence - thanks for your reply.
    So what exactly am I looking for in Time Machine and how do I restore it?
    Is it my iPhoto library?
    Appreciate any help you can give me.

  • Iphoto 9.6 shows zero pictures

    I’ve been struggling with iphoto for several months.  When I open iphoto, it looks like I have never uploaded pictures.  However iphoto library info says 76.65GB of memory used of data since 2009.  I made a back-up copy of the folder and even tried to replace the folder to no avail.  I tried to rebuild the folder with iphoto library manager, but received a message of no photos still in iphoto.  Here is a copy of the process:

    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.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Master' or 'Old masters'.
    Is there one?  Look inside. Are your photos there?
    Make no changes - just report back with the result.
