IPhoto 9.4.1 shows only miniatures, lost the originals

Hi all,
I had to have my hard drive changed after the last one broke down and decided to upgrade my macbook pro from snow leopard to mountain lion at the same time. Otherwise everything seems to be ok, and I got everything restored from the back ups, exept when I opened iPhoto for the first time, it complained that the library needed to be altered to work with iPhoto 9.4.1 and that after the alteration the photos could not be used with earlier versions. I clicked OK.
This took about an hour after which everything seemed normal, except that when I click a picture to see it bigger (for example full display) it shows only black with exclamation point! When looking the size of the library from Finder, it shows it to be 11Gt, whereas the original library was 149Gt. All the picture miniatures and folder etc are as before, but looks like the alteration has thrown the actual original pictures away. They might still be somewhere on the computer as the free space on the hard drive is still the same as before despite the actual library becoming noticeably smaller.
I still have the originals at the back up drive, but when I tried to import them for the second time, iPhoto gave the same notice that the pictures need to be alteredto work with 9.4.1.
If there is anyone who could help me to restore and use the pictures in their original size, I would be very grateful. All of your help is much appreciated!

The exclamation mark is an indication that the file path to the original/master image file has been broken. Try the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Custom Search Results web part: show only sites wherein the current user has access

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a custom Search Box and Search Results web part in one of my web application. The search result should show only sites wherein the current user only has an access. Do you have an idea how to implement this? Thanks. :)

    Hi Napster,
    From my experience, we can only search the result which we have view permission at least.
    Please provide more information about your requirement if there is misunderstanding.

  • Ipad2 show only half of the google Australia logo?

  • Preview of some flattened TIFFs show only one of the original layers

    When I flatten the files that I have been working on into TIFFs for delivery to clients, sometimes the preview (or thumb nail) shows only a single layer of the original layered file that I was working with. When the file is opened in photoshop, the complete image is there. Is this a bug or is there a way to correct this before I flatten the image? Btw, I have seen this same issue through many versions of photoshop... from CS3 through CS6. When saving the same flattened image as a JPG, the preview saves correctly.

    [This is a rewritten post because I posted some garbage first time. ]
    I was pretty sure you were going to say OS X.
    Is there an alpha channel (possibly used to store a selection) in the problem files?
    On a Mac, if there's exactly one alpha channel in a TIFF, the system interprets that alpha channel as transparency when it generates a preview. And if there's more than one alpha channel then the preview sometimes will be weirdly coloured.
    Save As TIFF has a checkbox for inclusion of alpha channels, so clear that when exporting your flattened TIFF.

  • How do I get the weather widget to show only today in the notification center?

    When I purchased my iPhone 4S, the notification center listed today's weather at my location. Several weeks ago it some how switched to showing the weekly forecast. What do I need to do to make the notification center show only today's weather? I have checked settings and can find nothing that controls this feature. My roommate bought his iPhone 4S at the same time I did, and his still shows only today's weather.
    Thanks

    I have the same problem!
    I have today's summary on in notification center but get no weather info at all in the notification center. I have the location turned on for weather as well.
    I have tried a reboot to no avail.

  • Show only images in the selected folder

    Hi All,
    It would be nice if I could show only the images in the selected folder without including images in subfolders. For example a check box next to the folder name could switch between "selected folder only" and "include subfolders" viewing modes.

    Un-check Menu/Library/Include Photos from Subitems.
    It is already there in V1.1.

  • Funnel Graph showing only %'s on the scale

    Hello All,
    I am trying to use the funnel graph and i am wondering if it only shows the percentage scale. I want to use number scale not the percentage. I don't see any thing that says scale option. I have Region and value and if possible i want to show thresholds for that value if it is below 2000 red more than that yellow and if it crosses 5000 Green. Please advice
    Edited by: 881386 on Aug 31, 2011 10:01 AM

    Hi,
    A funnel chart is meant to show a comparison basis of actual vs. target values.That is the reason for having the Actual and Target value drop downs.If your requirement does not have a comparison, i would recommend you not to go for funnel chart.

  • IPhoto imported photos from DVD only work with the DVD in the drive.

    I have several photo DVD's created on PC, jpeg format. I inserted the DVD, dragged the photos into events, they seemed to copy into iPhoto, I created albums. All seemed fine, but when I eject the DVD, my Mac can no longer find the file and I get a message that says "the volume for .......cannot be found, please insert the desk and wait for it to appear on the desktop. How do I actually copy the photos onto my computer?

    Are you running a Managed Library or a Referenced Library?
    If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
    If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.
    The message you getting sounds like you're running a REFERENCED library.

  • Score window in page mode shows only part of the composition

    I have an on going issue in Logic X: The score in page mode mostly refuses to show more than a couple of pages.
    There does not seem to be a logical reason for this. Deleting the score window and replacing it by another one shows the same issue,
    but on a different page.

    Hi Peter,
    Based on your description, it may be a compatibility issue. I suggest that you first check the issue in IE Compatibility View mode. Please refer to the following steps to troubleshooting this issue:
    1. Launch the IE, and press Alt+T to select the Tools.
    2. Click Compatibility View settings.
    3. Check the “Display intranet sites in Compatibility View” option, and click Close.
    Alternatively, please to do this, click Alt+T and select Compatibility View or add the http://<ServerName> URL to the Compatibility View list.
    There is an article about IE Compatibility, you can refer to it.

  • [VIA] My KM4AM-V shows only AGP4x in the.......

    Yesterday I bought an 'AMD AthlonXP 2600+(Barton)' with 'MSI KM4AM-V mainboard' + 'Corsair 512 MB DDR400' for my friend. When I ran the system it showed the processor Athlon XP2000+ instead: I've found out that this can be solved by updating the BIOS. Also the BIOS shows the AGP slot as "4X", while other options are "1X, and 2X". There is no AGP 8X option while this board is has AGP8X written everywhere, on manuals, site etc.
    I have not updated the BIOS yet, so does anyone know that it will solve the AGP problemo or is there some other solution ?

    Quote from: Wonkanoby on 06-June-05, 17:19:10
    you will not see the 8x option in the bios at all if the vga cards a 4x one
    can anyone else hear an echo?

  • IPhoto in MacBook Pro 2013 only shows "place holders," but no photos, after data transfer from Macbook Air 32011

    I am trying to transfer data from my MacBook Air 2011 to a "new" MacBook Pro 2013.  Both are running Yosemite 10.10.2.  Since Migration Assistant WOULD NOT WORK (the MacBook Air couldn't "see" the MacBook Pro), using my WiFi network, I transferred the necessary data to a 500GB drive and THEN to the MacBook Pro.  However, two programs didn't transfer well - or at all!  iTunes only transferred the Music (Media?) files, but not iTunes U, Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc.  I have had to  drill down into the storage files, retrieve the non-transferred files and add them, one by one - a most laborious task.  But, this is nothing compared to the problem with iPhoto (9.6), which shows only 6 events and 4 Faces transferred, with the rest only place holders (black boxes and grey dotted squares) in all the folders in my iPhoto.
    I "Showed Package Contents," and found the missing files - of which there are many! - and started adding them, again, one by one.
    Can anyone tell me what happened to my iPhoto (Yosemite 10.10.2)?  It's fine on my MacBook Air, but simply WON'T TRANSFER to my MacBook Pro?
    PLEASE - someone tell me how to CORRECTLY transfer my iPhoto files and/or HOW TO MAKE THE MACBOOK AIR "SEE" THE MACBOOK PRO in Migration Assistant?

    Hello Mary,
    Sorry to hear that you are having issues with moving your data over to your new Mac. There are a few alternatives that you can do to migrate that data if you are not seeing it in Migration Assistant. The first is make a Time Machine back up to that 500 Gb external hard drive and then use that in Migration Assistant to copy the entire data over. If you do that you will want to remove any data that you have on your MacBook Pro after the transfer completes as it will create another user with the data from the MacBook Air. Another option is to use a Thunderbolt Cable that you can purchase online if you want and use the option from another disk to copy that over. Take a look at the articles below for more details.

  • How to show only Indexes in Search Scope

    Hi All,
    Is it possbile to allow users to choose only Indexed in search scope.
    I tried editing the Search Options set, there i found that I can enable and disable search scope, but whn search scope is enabled both the Indexes and folders are visible.
    I want to show only Indexes to the user. How can I hide the folder options alone in the search scope?
    Thanks and Regards
    George

    Instead of using the Search Options set in the KM Search iView, use the Search Component Set.
    Create your own Search Component Set by going to <b>System Administration > System Configuration > Knowledge management > Content Management > User Interface > Search > Search Components</b>
    While creating the Search Component Set, Specify <b>Component for Search Options</b> as <u>search_input_indexes</u>.
    This should help you.
    Or you could do the following.
    In the Search Options set, Do the following.
    1) Uncheck <b>Enable Search Scope Selection</b>.
    2) Provide the various index names in <b>Search Index IDs (csv)</b>
    The above option would by default search the selected indexes for the search term and would not provide the user with the functionality of searching in folders.

  • Oracle worklist shows only 1000 instances in workspace

    There are more than 1000 instances assigned and when the user logs in to workspace it shows only 1000 in the worklist
    Even when I search by selecting any process and the option "In process" and "Assigned to any one in my role" , i get only 1000 in the result.
    Whatever be the condition, the maxmum returned is 1000 and not more than.
    Please let me know how to change this.

    I also like to ask another question about this problem.
    We have couple of views and I don't have this problem with other any view.
    One of the views is not able to show more than 1000. This view filter setting is just "In Process" like other views.
    The view doesn't include completed and aborted (as normal) and I suspect that was the reason PAPI Instance setting takes effect on the search.
    Whenever I make a search for this instance with filter "In Process" "Completed" "Aborted"; still it brings just 1000.
    ALBPM 6.0.5 parameters
    max instance size : 256
    retry interval : 600
    maximum amount of acquired instances in a single execution context : 1000

  • Itunes seems to have lost the ability to play purchased video

    Before posting here, I've searched all over the place for a solution to this problem, I found many people who have very similar issues, some solved them, but their solutions haven't worked for me, others with problems closer to how'd I'd describe mine have yet to find a solution
    My problem is, when I try to watch purchased tv shows, the video playback is horribly choppy. Most of the time it's like watching a screenshot with audio. (audio plays fine). I've tried all the suggestions of disabling direct3d etc to no avail. I have a brand new pretty beefy system that should have no problems running the video at all. The oddest thing though, is that early today the video worked fine, which confirms that it's not hardware insufficiency. After downloading 2 shows this evening, I watched them with perfectly smooth playback. After getting a few more tv shows, itunes suddenly lost the ability to playback smoothly, even after closing, opening itunes again, rebooting my computer, none of it helped. The only thing left to try which I will try if nobody has any idea what the problem might be, is to completly uninstall itunes and try reinstalling it again, since earlier the playback was fine.
    Has anyone else encountered anything at all like this? Nothing about my system has changed since earlier this evening, I already had the most recent version of itunes when everything was working fine. No display drivers or any of that has changed. It was only a matter of a few minutes between smooth playback and where my itunes perminatly lost the ability to playback video properly.
    I appoligize for the long winded message but I wanted to cover all the bases so people don't end up suggesting stuff I've already tried. The only clue that might be related is during download of one of the shows Windows Vista popped up the message that itunes had stop working, and I could try and find a solution or close the application. I just closed itunes and opened it again. Everything seemed fine but it may be (not positive though) that it was immediatly after that that the video nolonger played properly.

    Post in the iTunes Windows section. This is the iTunes Mac area.
    Make sure that your Quicktime is up to date.
