Iphoto book flagged photos not showing and cannot be added to my book

.

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 and facebook - most recent photos not showing up in file upload!!

    on iphoto, all the photos are fine and the most recent photos i import are in the recent import folder like they should be. i'm trying to upload a new profile picture to facebook but when i go to file upload and then click on iphoto to find the picture, it's not there, along with the rest of the recently imported photos. the most "recent photos" when i go to file upload are photos i imported from september 24, 2009 and i have imported a bunch of pictures after that date that aren't showing up when i go to file upload. i already tried rebuilding my library and all that but it didn't do anything. help?

    I just started having this same problem. New events are not appearing in the media browser section of the file upload window. The last event to show up is from October 12th. I tried several different websites and browsers.
    They are fine in iPhoto and the files show up in the "All Images" section of the Finder.

  • I am very new to Macs and iPhoto so this may be an idiot's question, but I have just created my first photo book and want to buy it, but the "buy book" button is not highlighted and when I click it nothing happens. Is there some step I am missing? Thanks!

Is there some step I am missing or some connection I need? I am on the internet. Thanks!

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

    Is it because the new itunes looks different.

    Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

  • My iphone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto, but it will not show as a device in finder for macbook pro

    My iPhone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto however it does not show up in finder under devices.

    I don't agree - I have two IMacs and two iPhones - the iPhone 4S show up on one machine, but not the other.  They do show that they are charging, and a memory stick will open on the same USB ports.  So, I don't think this is how they are "supposed to work"......

    I connect my macbook pro to an Epson wireless projector. The macbook can see the projector wirelessly and the image on the macbook is displayed on the projector. However on system ref., the arrangement tab does not show and thus cannot have multiple view.
    I am trying to project Pro Presenter on the Epson projector such that I have the detail screen on the macbook and only the screen I want people to see on the projector display. This has not been possible because the arrangement tab on the Display section of the System Preference is not showing. If i tried to search for the arangement, it comes back with the message that there is not other source detected, hence the arrangement tab is not showing.
    I have also tried to connect the Epson directly to the Macbook but it still the same result, so its not because it is a wireless connection. Can someone advise me jhow to go around this problem. I have used windows before and it is very easy to extend ptojection on windows, but this system seems to be frustrating to me.
    Thanks,

  • When I click on "Sign in to Sync" the page "about:accounts" shows error "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." How do I fix this so I can use Sync?

    When I click on the three-bar icon (top right) and then on "Sign in to Sync" a new tab opens attempting to load "about:accounts" . . . the page that loads is an error . . . "Problem loading page" shows up on the tab and the page displays:
    The address isn't valid

    I am running Firefox 30.0 on a Dell XPS-18 and Windows 8.0.
    I cannot access "about:accounts" at all. How do I fix this?

    The about:accounts page is a valid page in the current Firefox release.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

    Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
    Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
    Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS?

  • IPhoto Browser option is not showing up in import menu

    Hi,
    The iPhoto Browser option is not showing up in the drop down import menu in my Aperture 3.4.3.  What gives?  I want to do some targeted photo imports from my iPhoto 9.4.2.
    Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Aperture 3.4.3

    The iPhoto Browser has been discontinued in Aperture 3.3.x with the introduction of the unified Library format. Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
    To browse your iPhoto Libraries in Aperture simply swith to the iPhoto Library in Aperture:
    File > Switch to Library > your iPhoto Library
    If you want to import some images from iPhoto to Aperture,
    browse the iPhoto Library in Aperture, collect the images in an album,
    then export this album as an Aperture Library (File > Export > Album as new Library).
    Now import/merge this new Library into your main Aperture Library

  • My Photo Not Showing Up in Messages

    My photo does not show beside my texts in Messages on my Mac. Only a shadow of a generic person in a rectangle is there. I can see the photos of others who write me, though. I have my photo in Contacts and it does show up in Mail, but not in Messages. My photo also shows up in IMessage on the iPad.
    Why is my photo not showing up in Messages and how could I make it visible? Thanks.

    HI,
    Your Pic is set if you have  Buddy list set up/logged in.
    Enable the Bonjour account if you do not have Jabber, AIM or Yahoo IDs set up in Messages.
    Click on the current Buddy Pic.
    You may find it has pulled the Pic from the My Card in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
    In turn this may be picking up on the System Preferences > User and Groups > your account Login pic.
    That is to say when you set up the (Mac User) Account it asked you to create/chose a pic from the Login Screen.
    Later the process of setting up an Accounts asked for details that create the Contacts/Address Book Card  and the Login in pic is dragged across.
    AS you then get to set up Messages (Or iChat) then the My Card pic is pulled through.
    All three spots can be changed independently of each other.
    Some of the Recent Items can be from either of the others.
    This is my Buddy list pic and th "Recents" I have.
    The Zebra and head in "teeth" pics are from some testing I did with Pics in the Contacts > My Card options rather than Messages.
    Finally once you have a pic linked to Messages then it also show up at your end for the Chat window for iMessages (as well as for you in AIM or Jabber)
    NOTE
    In AIM and Jabber (Or Yahoo) your Pic is Broadcast and is what you Buddy sees next to your Name (They can override this though)
    In iMessages though your pic is not sent and your Buddy's Contacts app supplies whatever pic they have for you. (As yours does for them)

  • Slideshow: why do certain photos not show?

    slideshow: why do certain photos not show; they are properly referenced
    Let me expand on this: I have 570 photos in a slide show and all are properly referenced in my library. In the slideshow window, I can see all the pics in the bottom box and when I run "preview slideshow", certain pictures don't appear in the top box whilst the curser moves across the picture in the bottom box. Likewise, if I run the full screen slideshow, that picture(s) does not appear (I have a blank screen); the next picture does show up, howerver... This happens with several dozen pictures, always the same, randomnley amongst the 570...

    Hello Tony and thank you. I regenerated and rebuilt thumbnails; I deleted the slide show and rebuilt it; nothing works. Now, I noticed something weird. All pictures are in an Aperture project and are properly referenced as I said; all the pictures in this project come from a old iPhoto project where some of the pictures are in a "Modified" folder, others in an "Original" project; it is all the pictures in the "Original" project that don't show up in the slide show.... Do you have any idea what I should do?

  • Help? -After editing, photos are frozen and cannot be burnt, emailed etc...

    Hello, I am new to iphoto. After I edit a photo (enhance image) I cannot do anything with the file. I can't burn it to a cd, or email it for photofinishing. What am i doing wrong?

    Here are the steps: 1. I download picture from my Canon Powershot S30, 2. I enlarge the images as to fit one at a time on my screen. 3. I rotate the image selected, then if needed I crop or click on the magic wand icon to improve color and contrast. 4. I click END. 5. A small dialog box appears to inform me that the changes are being saved.
    After these steps, I insert an empty cd and try burning images via the disk utility that came with my computer. The files all appear as "ghosts". There are no error messages.
    Same goes when I try to upload the files on Walmart photocentre. It seems the revised files are not recognized and cannot be uploaded even though they are in jpeg format.
    Hope these details are helpful, thank you for your quick response.
