IPhoto 4 - Can't see pictures to organize them

I just ordered iLife '08. In the meantime, I am using iPhoto 4. Things have been running smoothly for years. Today, that changed. For some reason when I am working with my photos in the "organize" setting I can no longer see all the pictures in any particular folder. Instead, I see just one picture similar to what is seen in the "edit" mode. This new problem limits my ability to work with my pictures. Especially since there are no "previous" and "next" arrow key options at the bottom of the "organize" view. I imagine I hit a key accidentally. I just can't find how to bring back all my pictures so I can see them in the "organize' view the way I use to see them. Any ideas on how to do so? P.S. When I click on my different folders in iPhoto sometimes, just briefly, I am able to see all the pictures in that folder. Then the pictures are replaced by only one picture from that particular folder (similar to what is seen in "edit").

You guessed it. Now, I just hope iLife '08 is worth it. I ordered that when I thought the perceived iPhoto glitch was a sign it was time to upgrade from iPhoto 4. We'll see.

You can only import photos from the camera roll into the computer. Is that the album that you are seeing?
Any albums that you create on the device itself (the iPad that is) cannot be transferred to your computer. iPad created albums do not contain copies of your photos but merely pointers to those photos so they do not actually exist in those albums.

IPhoto can't see my iPhone 5S

Even though I plug in, iPhoto can't see my iPhone 5S device. iTunes sees it, sometimes even if it isn't plugged in, but iPhoto is not seeing it. This also happened to a friend who repeatedly connected and disconnected until it was recognized. That hasn't happened for me yet, and it sounds like a bug that needs fixing.
Anybody else have this experience? Know a solution? Something?

It's a long shot but the method posted by Robin Johnson in this post might work for you:

This solved my questionRe: ios update problem - 7.1 11D167 iphoto not picking up new photos
Mar 20, 2014 7:15 AM (in response to JdinPa)
I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone.
Suddenly Image Capture launched itself and there were all my photos, ready to be downloaded.

IPhoto problem - can't see pictures

I can see the thumbnail of some pictures after I import them but can't see anything when I try to open the picture. It usually happens on pictures that I've edited. Please help!

Rebuild iPhoto Database
Step by Step to fix your Mac

I can't see pictures when on EBAY. I can see them in Chrome and Explorer, but not Firefox

This just started happening in the past few days. I can't see EBAY pictures (there are some other sites as well where I now don't see pictures). I see the pictures fine using other browsers.

Do you have AdBlock Plus or any of the ad-blocking add-ons? If so, that may be what is causing the problem.
There's just something about eBay that makes these add-ons think the entire website is an advertisement and so they're just trying to do their job and block everything "ad-related".
If you disable your AdBlock Plus or whatever it is just for ebay, you should see it go back to normal.

Iphoto does not import pictures or detect them.

Hi, we have a tutoring program where I work and we wanted to use apple's "fixup" pictures in the class. To make the experience more realistic for the users, we plan on putting the pictures onto memory card readers (with memory cards already in them). We would like to recreate putting the memory card readers into the computers and importing from iphoto. The memory card readers are: Multi Flash Media Reader.
We first tried to make a folder called DCIM for iphoto to recognize when we open up iphoto. When we had this initially setup iphoto would recognize if you put ONE photo into the folder at a time (From the computer to removable disk). However when we put in multiple pictures (say all of the pictures from the "Cayman Trip") iphoto came up with an error stating that basically that it could not recognize the photo type. When we looked at the name of the file paths however, it was not the file path that we had set up. Unfortunately I can't recreate the error right now because we have reformatted the photo disk in hopes that that would resolve the issue.
Now that we have reformatted we have recreated the DCIM Folder, and now Iphoto will not detect the photos in the folder at all.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a camera that you could use to reformat the card, take a few shots and then replace those files with your jpgs? See if that would clean up the path and recognition.
However, you might want to teach the students to import the photos manually into iPhoto as that's a safer way of doing it, particularly if you're coming direct from a camera. That saves wear and tear on the camera and battery and avoids possible shutdown of the camera due to low battery in the middle of an import. That can damage a library. Also never have iPhoto erase the memory card after import as there have been too many reports of incomplete or no import and complete erasures.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto can not see pic on iPhone

In the last two weeks iPhoto can no longer see the pics I take on my iPhone. The Phone shows up under devices in iPhoto, but it shows no pictures are there, even though the iPhone camera roll has 20 or so new pics I have taken. Since it can not see them it can not import pictures from the phone. Any ideas why it suddenly would not be able to see the pics on the iPhone?

Try resetting...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, try restoing the iPhone > iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone.

HT201401 can see thumbnails, but can't see pictures when I tap the thumbnail

On the iphone 4 I can see the thumbnail in the camera roll, but I can't see the picture when I tap on the thumbnail.

Hey there Delmi,
Thank you for the question!
It sounds like you open the Camera Roll and see the image thumbnails, but when you tap them to view them larger, the image does not show at all. I have a few recommendations for this. First start by closing the open apps on the phone.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and re test the issue.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, then I would backup your device to iTunes and then restore it:

IPhoto can't see my photos

I had a hard drive directory problem after filling my HD to 99.9% full. iPhoto now can't see my photo's. The iPhoto library is there, complete with originals, alterations, etc, but when iPhoto opens, it says that there are 0 pictures. I used option+iphoto and selected the folder again, as well as moving the folder and selecting it from another location, and iPhoto opens it and says 0 pictures.
I tried rebuilding the database, which it does very quickly, reopens and says 0 pictures.
But I know the pictures are there because they are in the originals folder (as verified with preview) and they are in the date archived folders as well.
What should I do?

Cane,
so far you have done all the correct steps. iPhoto unfortunately cannot read the data files in your library folder(they are probably corrupt from whatever happened to your HD) and so it tells you there are 0 files.
The next step is to create a new library:
How many images do you have in your library?
Do you mind losing albums, keywords, comments?
If not...
close iPhoto
-drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
-launch iPhoto and create a new library
-double click the iPhoto Library folder on the desktop to open it
-the two main folders you will need to import are the Original folder and the Modified folder (only if you want to import the edited images).
-the Originals folder has all your originals photos unedited. the Modified folder has all images that you have edited, rotated, cropped, etc.
-Drag these two folders to the desktop
-If you want to save the edited image, find it in the roll in the Modified folder and drag it into the roll of the same name in the Originals folder. It will replace the originals and now will be the original.
-If you don't care to save any edited images, then don't import the Modified folder into iPhoto or don't bother replacing the edited image with the original image like I just described.
-If you import the Originals folder into iPhoto you will have all your originals in their named rolls.
-If you import the Originals and Modified folders into iPhoto, you will have all of the being in the originals folder in the finder. The roll with the same name as the other will have a _1 appended to it's name (in the finder)
-the roll from the originals will be next to the same roll from the Modified folder within iPhoto. You can then delete any of the images from there if you want.
I know this might sound confusing but it really isn't.
Get back if any of this sounds like something you might want to do.

I can't see pictures

since I update Firefox 8 I can't see the other pictures in this website, only I can see in ie explorer or using Firefox in my Mac, what I need to fix this problem?

I use an add-on called AdBlock Plus. When i Disable it on your site i can view the all the images using the Next/Previous buttons.
That's why i provided the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] link to check if you can view the images while using Firefox in Safe Mode.
Its probably an add-on issue. Check and tell if its working.

Can't see pictures when opening other mans Illustrator files

I'm pretty new at working with Illustrator. And I already stumbled upon some problems. Normally I use google to find the answer, but this time I have no idea how to google for it. So what ist the problem?
For my work I needed to design an illustration where I also used pictures from my computer. We have a server on which all the computers are connected, however I first saved my Illustrator file on my computer and later exported it to the server. When some else tries to open the file they can't see the pictures I used. So what do I need to do? I the only solution to save the pictures on the servers as well and replace them on the file? Or is there an option to save the pictures within the files.
Thanks for your time and help! It's much appreciated!

If people are saving files to a common server it is a good idea to keep images in the same folder as the Illustrator files.
Also don’t mix Mac and Windows. If you are using Macs for working on, use a Mac server. If Windows, use a Windows server.
Illustrator doesn’t like saving to remote servers much, but if you follow the above you should avoid problems for the most part.

Can't see pictures from Ipad in Windows Explorer (usb camera)

When I had around 3000 pictures in my Ipad, there's no problem to delete all at once from windows using the explorer and the ipad as a usb camera. But now I have around 6000 pictures and when I try to see the pictures, windows shows two messages: 1 the usb camera is busy and the pictures can't be accesed and the second message: 0 objects in the image folder is empty (zero pictures).
I don't understand: there's a problem with the number of pictures? Why with less pictures everything works fine? Why I can't select ALL the pictures from a event to delete ALL at once.... the instructions to select more that one picture it doesn't work for me.
The issue with the pictures is draving me crazy! The soluction to select the pictures one by one is just "insane".
Help Please.

It really works!! (Thanx God)...
I was making a mistake while pressing the first picture. There's such kind of technique in the way put both fingers at once. If one finger touch the screen first it doesn't work. it needs a little bit of pressure but not too much. Anywary after a couple of minutes of "training" I can delete many pictures with the minimal effort.
Maybe in the future the "Select All" option will appear to solve this issue at last.
Thanx for the help... This is a really good advice.

Iphoto can't see my external drive

Hi,
I want all my photo's from Iphoto to go on an external drive I have. But if I click on Export and have to chose a place then I can't click on my external drive because it's not there on the list on the left side...
Is there an other why to move all my photo's to my external drive?

The question should be 'what's wrong with the external drive'
Can you see it in other programs? can you see it in Disk Utility?

I can not see pictures taken today or in the moment at the camera roll?

take a picture and can't see it in camera roll later, or in any albume

Agree with baltwo, though even if you have saved the install app I wouldn't use it unless its been used to install a known good copy of the OS already.
In your case, that probably means start fresh:
Restart the computer, holding down 'command' and 'r'. When the recovery disk window shows, choose 'Reinstall Mac OS X'.
