Iphoto 7.1.3. - pictures don't show even though they exist & library=fine

Hi all
got a crazy problem here, that seems to have originated from updating to 7.1.3 last week.
I cannot see my photos anymore. I see events, photos, see the Info of a photo, but Iphoto displays blanks instead of pictures.
Examining the package shows me that the photos do exist in their managed folders.
I tried rebuilding the db, rebuilding thumbnails, etc. Nothing shows the photos.
I tried restoring older libraries of a couple of weeks old (timemachine) but they don't show anything also. This leads me to believe that this version of iphoto seems to be broken. Maybe I can try downgrading (don't know how though)
Anybody have some suggestions? any help is much appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This version of iPhoto works fine, it's your database that has been damaged.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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 back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

My bookmarks don't show even though the bookmark bond is turned on.

The bookmarks haven't been deleted. I've tried turning the bookmark bond on and off. Unfortunately it didn't work.

Is this about bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar?
Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
*View > Toolbars<br>Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup

Single songs don't play even though they are synced and work fine on the computer??

I only recently discoverd this problem. Single songs that I synced into my iPod 5th gen just wont play (they used to work before) even though when I check on my iTunes they work fine and even after syncing it again and even reseting my iPod it just wont work. All that happens is that I click the play button on the song the cover art with the timeline pops up for a split second as if it is going to play and then it just goes back to the title menu with the songs name, and nothing plays. This only happens with a few songs that used to work fine but from what I've noticed its only from songs that are pulled out of an album and placed alone (as in I only have one song from an album on my iPod) even though other songs that are singles like that work fine. It's very confusing and I have no idea how to fix it, please help.

Odds are, the tracks causing the issue are bad. When the ipod tries to play a track that has a problem, it skips to the next track. I realize your track plays in iTunes, but iTunes can play just about anything. Just because something plays in iTunes, does not mean it will play on everything else.
Your best bet is to re-import the bad tracks or re-sample the ones you have. In iTunes you can do this by highlighting the track causing a problem then selecting create AAC or MP3 version... whatever options you get. Then take that new track and sync it and see if that fixes it.

Location services don't work even though they are on

My location services do not work even though they are switched on. When I ask Siri something that requires my location it tells me to turn on location services and Siri but they are already on.

For location the iPod uses the location nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's data base. You do not have to be connect to the router.
Thus, it appears that the router the iPod is using does not have the correct location in Apple's database. Apple continuously updates their database based on data it obtains from iPhones. No one has found a way to tell apple to correct/add a wifi router to their database.
To test this, go to another location/another network like Starbucks and see if location work there

Pictures Don't Show Up

I just installed the trial of LR3 and I'm already having problems. When I try to "import" photos, my pictures don't show up. All that shows up in the preview thumbnails are grey boxes where my pictures should be. LR acts like it is loading my pictures, but when the pictures should be fully loaded, there are only grey boxes. If I hit "uncheck all" they will begin to re-load, but still the pictures will not show up. If I go to "Develop", the levels and such of the photo will show up and I can alter them, but it doesn't do anything because the photo I am editing is just a grey space! I tried altering the preferences for the file types to see if that may be it, but the pictures still did not show. I also tried using different folders of photos, but they all did this weird grey space thing. Any help?

Which camera?

Pictures don't show in camera roll

Does anyone know why some pictures don't show up in the camera roll after I take a picture? The first time it happened I thought something was wrong and the picture didn't save. I looked in Photos and all the pictures I took were there but not all the pictures are in the camera roll. I haven't moved any photos. It seems to happen if I access the camera directly from the lock screen.

When you access the camera roll from the lock screen, you can only see photos that you took while at the lock screen during that session only. The phone needs to be unlocked first in order to see all your camera roll photos.

I deleted the picture in iphoto, then emptied my iphoto trash, but the picture is still showing on my computer when i go into my trash under "all images" How do you delete pictures even when you empty the trash and they stay in the computer?

Wtih iPhoto 9 when the iPhoto Trash is emptied the files get moved to the Trash bin in the Dock as a second chance to change your mind. Look in the Dock's Trash bin.

I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually.

I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually since I have a iTouch and keep all my music there. HELP!!

Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete.

When I attempt to apply a lens profile in the Develop module the only choices are for the Fujifilm X100/S/T even though in the Library module the EXIF data correctly shows the camera as the X-T1 and the precise lens used to take the picture. How do I get

When I attempt to apply a lens profile in the Develop module the only choices are for the Fujifilm X100/S/T even though in the Library module the EXIF data correctly shows the camera as the X-T1 and the precise lens used to take the picture. How do I get the right profile available?

First, the required profile needs to be present. LR 5.4 supports the X-T1 in terms of understanding its Raw format, but will not come with a profile for every lens which can be mounted onto that.
A profile is made for each specific lens, as mounted on a certain camera. It can also be used with pictures taken on a different (reasonably similar) camera body than the one originally used during profiling. This is subject to the sensor format: you can employ a given lens profile made for full frame, on an image from a crop sensor behind the same lens - but not vice versa.
Next, the image type needs to correspond to the image type which has been built into the profile: Raw, or non-Raw.
Lightroom offers only profiles of the right type for the image(s) concerned. There are many more provided for correcting camera Raw, than for correcting camera JPG. That is also the case with additional profiles, e.g. those accessed via the Adobe lens profile downloader utility.
Finally, in the event that there simply is no profile out there for a given lens, it is not particularly difficult (though a little tedious) for the end user to generate one, using a further Adobe utility which is downloadable as a package, including a range of checkerboard calibration targets, each of which needs to be printed at a stated physical size.

How do I access RAW files in Photos - these showed up in iPhoto but cannot be accessed in Photos even though they have been imported. Retrograde step again Apple

How do I access RAW files in Photos - these showed up in iPhoto but cannot be accessed in Photos even though they have been imported. Retrograde step again Apple.

Although more recent, and with newer devices, I have been trying to find this same information. Please help!

How do I access the cloud and moreover, why are my pictures not on my Itunes, even though they're backed up on the cloud?

In trying to sync my Iphone 4, I noticed that none of my pictures are not my Itunes, even though they've been backed up on the Cloud. My Itunes also states that I'm over my space by .4 GB although my phone says i still have 2.7 GB of space left. I'd like to delete my pics off my phone, but not until I know they're backed up properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

photos taken on your iphone and show up in photostream on your ios device can be automatically downloaded to your computer.
if you have a mac, the photos in photostream automatically download into your iphoto application
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
if you have a pc, the photos in photostream can automatically be downloaded into a folder called "photostream" in your photos folder on windows.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
you no longer are required to ever hook up your ios device to your computer to extract photos again (you will have to if you want to get videos off of your iphone). Simply connect your computer to the internet at least once a month, and all photostream photos will download into the proper place (outlined in the above links).

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir. I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes. I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes. When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir. To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
Help please.
Thanks

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

After updating to 3.6.18, all add-on buttons have disappeared, even though they show enabled. Why?

Menu items for add-ons, such as Delicious and Evernote are working, but there are no buttons on the toolbar. Those that buttons only and don't have menus or menu items simply do not show up at all, even though they are showing as enabled. This includes all those listed below:
Delicious
Feedly
Evernote
Amplify
Morning Coffee
Operating System is Windows 2000 (Compatibility Report Shows Windows NT 5.0)

There may be a problem with one of the files that stores details on installed extensions. Try deleting the files as shown in the "Corrupt extension files" section of this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If one of the files listed is corrupt it can cause problems with extensions not working even if they appear to be installed.

Videos won't sync to iPod, even though they show up in directory

I'm trying to sync some movies onto my iPod Touch 3rd gen. The movies are in mpeg4 and quicktime format.
I have dragged the files over successfully to my iTunes library... and these files also appear in the iPod directory for my iPod.
Now the problem: I don't understand why these movies won't show up on my iPod after I sync it?
I've retried many times with all sorts of different options clicked... but they never show up in the Videos on the iPod, even though they appear in the directory on my Mac.
Any suggestions much appreciated!

- Have you tried using the "Create iPod and iPhone Version" in the advanced tap of iTunes?
- Is the specific format compatible with your model iPod? There are many different mpeg formats.
- Do they play in iTunes?
