Iphoto events all showing the same picture

All my events in iphoto are showing the same picture and I have to click on each one to see what is behind it so furstrating can anyone help me

This is a software issue. There's no wear and tear involved here, so the age of the computer doesn't come into it.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

  • A number of imported photos from iphoto in imovie project all show the same image whilst the preview before dragging them in is correct. What could be the problem?

    A number of photos from iphoto used in imovie project all show the same image when playing back. The previw when clicking and dragging them and also the pictures in the storyline. Yet when playing the clip a previous immage keeps on appearing. What could be the problem?

    You created a mess and there is no solution - with the actions you have taken those photos are gone unless you have access to them from some other source - they existed in two place - in your iPhoto library and on your backup drive - you have traded the backup drive and restore an earlier iPhoto library so all you have is what you have

  • Picture messages show the same picture in each message

    I believe this started when my phone updated to 4.5.602.A957.  I have 3 contacts I have noticed this with -- none are Verizon users either (the Verizon contacts appear to be functioning properly). All of the pics in the conversation are the same, and are of the last pic sent to me. When I click on the picture to view or save, however, it shows the original picture sent. There are 2 contacts of the 3 that show the same picture between them. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?

    Daniellelech, thanks for following up with what you've learned about this situation. I would suggest deleting the threads of people you notice this happening with, then clearing cache from the Messaging application. This will not erase your other text messages. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Messaging>Clear data/cache. Try sending a picture message again to see if the issue is still occurring. 

  • Iphoto showing the same picture for all my uploaded pictures after update, how do I get my old ones back so I can upload them to websites?

    After updating the new iPhoto software in the middle of December, I haven't been able to view all of my pictures that had been on my computer prior to the new software update, It shows the same photo for every single picture, how do I convert it back or reboot it?
    THANKS!!

    make a temporary backup of the library and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the options for rebuilding the thumbnails .

  • IPhoto events only show videos, no pictures

    For some reason, my iPhoto events started showing videos only, no pictures. I can see the pictures on the thumbnails, or when I open them using Photos instead of Events, or when I open the events (projects) on Aperture. I already rebuilt the database but nothing changed. If I import new pictures (thus creating a new event), I see them on the new event's thumbnail, but once again if I go into the event nothing shows up.
    This happened around the same time iMovie analyzed the iPhoto library for videos, for a new project I'm making on iMovie. Now iMovie can't see the iPhoto videos anymore.
    Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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.

  • Ical events all showing at same time

    Hi guys, I am at the end of my tether.
    I have a couple of google calendars that then feed into ical.
    They were both set up with the calibration program from google.
    Which then feeds in with my iphone.
    I can add and edit events on all three, however every event shows in ical as 10:27 am.
    Every event does this, I've played around with time zone setting etc
    It's driving me mad and I think stopping events syncing between the three properly.
    any ideas?
    thanks in advance

    km83,
    Welcome to the forums! Have you tried using the calibration program from Google to remove then re-add your calender to iCal? I know it sounds silly but what it will do is reset Google calender on your mac.
    Also sorry this sounds lame but when you added it to your iphone, which method did you use?
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • Payments from customers all show the same name

    I sell a number of products daily and the FROM part all say the Paypal payments are from the same person. The name is from one of my customers. How do I stop this from reoccuring. I don't want to delete all my emails. Any tips would help. Thank you.

    Delete the paypal address from the address book as Thunderbird is using the name associated with that entry.
    Alternatively disable the use of Display names from the address book.
    Tools menu (Alt+T) > Options > Advanced > Reading and display
    Deselect the Show display names checkbox

  • Image Preview showing the same preview

    Have a project that shows photos while playing music. The photos in the time line all show the same preview picture. When the movie is played the actual photo is displayed? Any help would be appreciated.

    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.

  • How come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

    how come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

    Why? Because something is wrong.
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2.  or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello All,
    Also no answer but am having the same problem.  All my catalogueing via folders is up in smoke and no external HDs (where I would normally directly store raw footage when importing) showing up on the iMovie interface.  It is a pain the arse to go back to the earlier version - why APPLE, pray tell, do you continue to lower expectations user-friendly functions. Shall try the option+open for a library but this too is extremely inconvenient if it works like iPhoto because you have to log out to log in to a new library whereas I just want to be able to see my multiple HDs directly from the iMovie menu and then the folders within folders I have layered in there - to make it easy to FIND STUFF. Wake up Apple, you are NOT meeting your customer's needs or desires.
    Thanks to the posters who are helping the rest of us lost in the dark with possible solutions - free fix-its for Apple which they don't deserve.

  • Can I print multiple copies of the same picture on iphoto 9.5

    I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade. Can anyone see how to do this now?

    It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
    After printing, trash the added versions.

  • Iphoto and Itunes not showing the same number of photos in albums

    why does the number of photos in an iphoto album is not the same when synching my iphone.  For example, in iphoto, my "family" album has 2700 photos, but in Itunes it only shows 2675.  I have included the videos also.  Thanks

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
