IPhoto 4.0.3 wont show photos anymore !

I don't understand what's happen. iPhoto 4.0.3 doesn't show my photos anymore. All folders source are present, Photo Library is there with all the rolls, rolls self could open, taking more or less space on screen, but doesn't show anything.
Looking into Pictures/iPhoto Library ( What a mess !) in the Mac itself I can see all my pics and even open it... with Preview !

I tried to rebuild my library from iphoto 4.0.3. The library loads, and then starts to repair when the application quits unexpectedly. Any hint? In the meantime, my pics are empty grey boxes, although they seem to be there in terms of disc space. This happened for no obvious reason. Cannot see them nor edit them.
Thanks

  • IPhotos doesn't show photos anymore, but iPhoto file is 30 Gb big.

    Hello,
    my probelm is that when i klick on the iPhoto fiel, it opens the file and than says no fotos. It changed from one day to the next. I hade my libery on a other harddisk, but it allways worked. Now I have the 30gb big file but I can't get the pics. Does anybody has the same problem or nows a way to get beck my pics?????

    Thanks LarryHN for responding to the OP's question. Your answer solved the problem I had been having and I'm a lot less anxious about my digital images now.
    But now I have two questions that I'm hoping someone can answer:
    1. I downloaded some new images while my iPhoto was not using the right library. Using the alt/opt key, iPhoto is now pointed to the right library the majority of my images appear. But where are the ones that I downloaded while it wasn't pointed at the right library? I searched my hard drive for another iPhoto library and couldn't find anything?
    2. A related question, I have some images that I KNOW are on my computer as I can see them in Finder. The location for them is given as iPhoto library/data/2008/July 28. But, they do not show up in iPhoto. Anyone know where I can find them to import them?
    Thank you so much for any help!

    Very confusing post - if you can not open iPhoto how do you know what happens when you try to edit a photo using iPhoto?????
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

  • Lightroom wont show photos

    I have had lightroom loaded with my photos for years but suddenly it won't show me the photos when I open it. They are still in the same folders they have always been in nothing has changed. Why can I not see my pictures?

    I can see my photos now but it took about an hour to load them. It never has taken this long. Do I need an update maybe??

  • I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore

    I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my NIKON camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore!! Help where are they? How can I retrieve them or are they lost???
    Please help me!!!

    Do you see more photos, when you enable "Hidden Photos" in the "View" menu?
    And that was afetr I took the connection with the NIKON out of my laptop.
    Check, if you really imported into your iPhoto library - is the preference setting "Advanced > Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" active?  If not, connect your Nikon again - do you now see more photos?
    If you imported into the iPhoto Library, check inside the package:
    Select your iPhoto library in the Finder, ctrl-click it, use the command "Show Package Contents".
    There will be a folder named "Masters" inside, with subfolders named by year - month - day. Look for the date you did the import and check, if the photos are inside.
    If yes, copy this folder to a folder on your desktop to save the photos.
    If not, search for a folder "Importing" inside the library. Is it there? Then copy these photos to a folder on the Desktop.
    If you found your photos, backup and rebuild your library.

  • My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6.  I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto.  However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. ??

    My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6.  I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto.  However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup.  It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
    Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box?  If so, do:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings

  • I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    No.  When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library.  Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
    If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
    It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications.  You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

  • As a new Macbook Pro user I was saddened to find that the feature of using keywords in iPhoto '11 does not allow showing same under each photo.  I understand this was available in earlier versions.  Any comments?

  • IPhoto not showing photos in Modified folder

    I have an issue uploading photos into facebook.  I use iPhoto to manage all of my photos on my iMac, and I created different albums to organize photos.  When I try to upload some photos into my facebook, only the photos in Original folders show up in the albums, and the ones in Modified folders are missing.  When I open album directly in iPhoto, all the photos are there.  This happens both in Safari and Chrome.  Is there a way to fix this so that I can see all of my photos when I access iPhoto albums from the browser?

    iPhoto 09?
    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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    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.

  • IPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black.

    iPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black. What's happening ?  I show an incompatible upgrade available for OSX Maveriks, which I have not yet installed.

    What version of iPhoto are you using?  Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • During import Aperature wont show all photos on memory card.

    During import Aperature wont show all photos on memory card. Typically loads the previews of the first 15 photos only showing "loading assets" and spinning wheel. Running Aperature 3.2.3 on MBP 2.16 core duo 2gb ram importing from a SD card reader contining approx 300 nikon d3100 NEF files. Created a new user account and new library with same results.

    Could be the card.  Transfer the files to your HD using Finder, and then import into Aperture.  All OK?
    Then reformat your card in your camera, and see if the problem recurs.  Also: does it happen with other cards?  Does it happen with the card in the camera (instead of in your card reader)?

  • IPhoto does not show photos in my iPhone

    Hi!
    As the title has said, my iPhoto does not show photos from my iPhone, but it DOES recognize that iPhone is connected.
    But before all of this happened, I changed my setting (which I forgot how to reset that) to NOT open iPhoto automatically when my phone is connected.
    And also, a week ago, my iPhone usb cable seems to be spoiled at one end. It can still connect the phone to the laptop, but very loosely - as if some wires inside are broken.
    So I really do not know if the problem I mentioned is caused by my setting OR is it because of my spoiled cable (that it could not transfer the photos from the phone)
    And if it is believed that it is caused by my setting, could you please guide me on how to re-set the whole thing?
    Thank you very much.
    Ps. I can still sync my songs in itunes to my music in iPhone.

    "But before all of this happened, I changed my setting (which I forgot how to reset that) to NOT open iPhoto automatically when my phone is connected."
    Launch iPhtoto.
    In the menu, iPhoto>Preferences>General.
    Change it back.
