IPhoto -- In Event -- Key Photos not showing up

I choose the key photo, but the event still only shows the palm tree iphoto icon.
Most of my older events still show the key photos, but now I have several that only show the palm tree.
Not sure why.
Any ideas?

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window rebuild thumbnails and if needed repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

  • How to group or print index of Event Key Photos?

    I am making some backup dvds of my library for off site storage. I would like to make an index print of the event key photos but can not figure out how to group them. Can you make a smart album (clearly iphoto has them tagged in some way)? Is there just an option for printing them that I can't find? There must be a more elegant solution than opening each event and copying the key photo to an album...

    No and No I'm afraid.
    IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback for feature requests.
    There must be a more elegant solution than opening each event and copying the key photo to an album...
    Either that or tag them with a keyword, flag them or rate them and use that as the basis of a smart album.

  • 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?

  • Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
    Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
    A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
    or
    B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
    Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
    Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
    Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
    Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
    For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
    Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

  • 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)

  • Photos not showing on Apple TV

    What reson would there be for some photos not showing in apple TV?
    Ta

    Yes, tried that but all that happened was that my Home Sharing although shown turned on on both Apple TV and iTunes did not allow me to connect to my Library, could access You Tube so WiFi connection O.K.. Tried switching Home Sharing off and then on again on Apple TV but that didn't access my Library so had to go back into iTunes on my Mac and switch off Home Sharing and switch it back on again there which then allowed me access to my Library. This resolved the problem as photos I had just taken were now viewable ( This however has happened before so not a new problem, suspect the router but as I am changing ISP soon, going to BT Infinity, hope that will solve that problem.)

  • Photos not showing up in iPhoto but still in Library

    I'm having a problem with iPhoto. I just got back from a trip. I was copying using the share photo function my photos from one computer to another and after that it seems that about 500 photos are not showing up on the original computer, these photos also did not copy over. Originally, I thought somehow I had deleted them somewhere but they are in fact still in the correct places in the iPhoto library folder. However, they are not showing up when I open iPhoto. I have restarted. I have repaired permissions. I have checked the iPhoto trash- they are not there. I have viewed the hidden photos. I am at a loss. I am sure it is some easy fix I just cannot find it. Please help. I don't want to manually deal with this problem because I have already organized all of them.

    Sounds like a corrupted database, I'm afraid.
    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.

  • Photo Library photos not showing up in iPhoto '11

    My iPhone is sync'd with iPhoto '11 (9.4.3) and shows all the photos in my library, about 2300. There's a bunch of photos in the library I'd like to delete. Unfortunately, I can't delete them from the iPhone and have to go directly to iPhoto - no problem.  However, in iPhoto - these photos are nowhere to be found, even though the photo count is the exact same on the iPhone & in iPhoto - 2300.
    I tried to search for them by Event (they're organized on the iPhone by a wrong date (1970) but nothing shows up. It's like they're not in iPhoto, even though they are syncing the photos to the iPhone.  Strange...
    Any thoughts on this?

    While in the event mode go to the View ➙ Sort menu option and set the sort to By Date, Descending so that the latest imports will be at the top of the window.  Then check to see if you can find your photos. 
    Are you using iTunes to sync the photos between your iPhone and MBP or do you have Photo Stream setup in iPhoto to automatically import the PS photos?

  • A few photos not showing up in My Photo Stream in iPhoto

    I recently took a few hundred pictures and uploaded them to iPhoto 9.6.1, which is set to automatically upload new photos to iCould.  All of them uploaded as I can verify on an iPhone, iPad, and a MacBook, but three of them aren't showing up in My Photo Stream on the original computer.  They do show up in Photos, Events, etc.  Any idea why this would happen?  Very strange.  MacBook Pro Retina late 2013 running OS X 10.10.2.  Thanks for the help!  -Ben

    Thanks for the reply and for your questions.  The pictures are in a supported format -- JPEG.  They are no different from dozens of other photos that were uploaded at the same time.
    In fact, they have been successfully shared via My Photo Stream/iCould, as they are showing up on other devices.  They are just not showing up in the iCloud window on the original computer.

  • Photos not showing in iphoto, help!

    Just upgraded to leopard, and now, when I try to open a photo in iphoto or make one of my own pictures a background, it wont do it, and comes up with this image in iphoto. Its iphoto 6 and not 08.
    Here is the picture:
    http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j251/chaslam500/?action=view&current=Picture1- 2.png
    AS you can see its picking the photos up, its just not displaying them like it should do.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi
    Yes I draged some of the pictures from the finder and made a new folder called photos, but when I look for the photos in the finder under itunes they are all still there.
    It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
    Now, to recover the situation you have two options:
    1. Return things exactly as they were or
    2. Restore an up-to-date back up or
    2. create an 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.
    Assuming that you moved those files to make the easier to find, There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

  • ICloud photos not showing in my iPhoto library

    I'm really having trouble understanding the relationship among iPhoto, iCloud, and Photo Streams.  I want to have all my photos show up in my iPhoto library.  They always did.  However, a few weeks ago (while traveling and adding a lot of photos), I began to not see all my photos in my library.  In fact, when I look at "Events" there are greyed out boxes that have the date photos were taken, it indicates that there are 0 photos, and there is a shades-of-grey icon that has a palm tree and horizon.  I had never seen this before.  Some of my photos from my travel ended up in my library just fine.  Others are in limbo.  I found the others in My Photo Stream, but I can't figure out how to add them to the library, where they belong.
    When I show Package Contents from Home>Pictures>iPhoto Library, all the pictures are there.  They are just not showing up in iPhoto.  I have quit and restarted iPhoto.  Do you think my iPhoto app is corrupt?
    Any suggestions would be welcome.  This is vexing...

    Hold down Command and Option, and launch iPhoto. A Photo Library First Aid window will appear. In this window you’ll see a number of repair options. Start with Rebuild Thumbnails and give it a try. Check iPhoto after you’ve done this to see how it behaves. If it’s not showing all your photos, give the next option in the Rebuild window a try. Rinse and repeat until iPhoto is working properly.
    Make sure you have a backup of your Library as a precaution.

  • Photos not showing up in photo stream after being imported to iPhoto from a DSLR camera?

    I have a DSLR camera and for the longest time, I would import photos from a shoot to iPhoto and after about 20 minutes they would have all shown up in my photo stream on my Mac and my iPhone. But recently, the photos will not show up on either photo stream and trying to share a new photo stream with myself never works. Help?

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • Missing Event key photos and photo count

    This is a question regarding the Library Events folder with the list of all events. I have approximately 560 events and 24,000 photos. The problem is with only 32 events within a date rangeof  four months from Feb thru June of this year that contained 41 events. 9 of the events scattered throughout that date range work normally. I can't identify a common denominator for either of the groups that work or those that don't. I can't think of any difference in the way I imported them or any other reason why some within that range don't work properly and some do. For some reason the last 8 events over the last 6 weeks have worked perfectly. I'm pretty sure the problematic events had shown perfectly for a while and that suddenly one day this situation started even for some events that already had been working fine.
    The problem with the 32 events is two key characteristics, there is not a key photo for the event whether one is assigned specifically or one chosen by the program - just a generic black and white ghost image icon with a palm tree and sunset. The other issue is when hovering over the event icon and when it would usually list the number of photos within the event - in these 32 groups it shows only 0 (zero) but when I go into the event all of the photos are there - whether it's 1 photo or 100. I am able to assign titles to the events as normal.
    Here are some things I have been told but have no idea as to the accuracy and thought I would put this question out to the experts before I did anything. One thing I had been told that was that iPhoto isn't equipped to hold this large a number of photos and to switch to Aperture but today I read something within Apple that says Aperture uses the same library as iPhoto.
    Someone else had mentioned reindexing the library but I'm not sure whether to attempt that and what that means. I read in another forum and it was unclear if that would be a suitable course of action for me but that was a question someone posed regarding an ios device so it really wouldn't apply to me directly:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5123493?start=0&tstart=0
    It occurs to me as I write this that perhaps I could just export these events of photos and then re-import them again.
    I'm sorry this is so long. I'm trying to be thorough. After years of looking through forums for answers to questions that have boggled my mind - this is the first time I've ever posted a question. Please be gentle. Thanks!

    Hard drive replaced by Apple 6/17/13

One thing I had been told that was that iPhoto isn't equipped to hold this large a number of photos and to switch to Aperture but today I read something within Apple that says Aperture uses the same library as iPhoto.
    That is as you note incorrect - the current versions of iPhoto and Aperture do use the same exact library structure and can open and modify each other's libraries - the current limitation on an iPhoto library is !,000,000 photos (I have not personally verified that)
    It occurs to me as I write this that perhaps I could just export these events of photos and then re-import them again.
    No - that would not improve anything and would lose data
    What you need to do it backup your iPHoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your thrumbnails - which may take several tries - if this does not resolve things rebuild the library
