IPhoto Library appears to have no content?

when trying to print a photo on my Canon PIXMA MP620, using Easy Photo-Print EX, the select images window appears.
In it, there is a file listing, beginning with my HD, then below and indented is (among others) my Users folder, and inside that my Pictures folder.
However, it doesn't appear any pix are inside that folder even though I've imported many into iPhoto, and can see them in iPhoto.
When accessing via a Finder window, the same thing happens - clicking through to Users, my folder, and then Pictures... only iPhoto Library appears. But again with no content inside. IF I right-click on that iPhoto Libray and select Show Package Contents, a new window opens titled iPhoto Library. In it, there's the list of multiple folders, including "modified" and "originals"
Should I not be able to simply access these files by (traditional) click on the iPhoto Library?
Can I adjust a setting so that my one-click printing will work?

in the select images window look in the lower left under Media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

  • I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
    ******A true apple fan********

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

  • How to make my iPhoto Library appear in Finder under Favorites

    I have recently istalled the 10.8 on my iMac. The hard drive has been formated new. At that occasion the old iPhoto Library has been copied (and updated later on). It´s location is in Pictures folder. My question is : can I have it separately as an icon - the way it was before - in Favorites.
    This is how it looks now when I open the Finder.
    [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/10h7ec1.jpg[/IMG]
    The iPhoto appears as "a document" and not as an icon.. there is no way I can attach a photo from the Library to an email.. or anywhere else.
    How to make this work right?
    Many thanks.

    Well you click the attach file button and then follow my detailed instructions
    When sending from a browser based mail use the media browser (in the attach window in the lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto)
    For all supported access methods see the user tip on accessing your iPhoto files -https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto?view=documents

  • IPhoto library appears empty after update.

    A while ago I updated iPhoto to v9 and have been happily using my main personal iPhoto library since.
    Recently, I needed to check one of my older, business, libraries and iPhoto is behaving as though it's a newly created library with no photos. Further checking of my eight further libraries showed seven of them in the same state, the other went through the expected 'upgrade' procedure and is intact.
    So,
    1. Why didn't the others update automatically?
    2. How do I force them to update?
    3. Short of going into the package contents and extracting the photos what else can I do to recover the situation?

    If there are edited photos in the backed up library and you restore it you should be able to view those  edits once you convert the library to the latest version of iPhoto. 
    There is no way to identify which are edited versions from the Finder.
    Since iPhoto 7 will still run on Mavericks I would try this on one of your iPhoto 7 libraries or as restore iPhoto 7 library:
    1 - restore iPhoto 7 from your Time Machine backup.
    2 - launch it with the Option key held down and select the V7 library to open.
    3 - close iPhoto 7 and relaunch with the Option+Command keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    4 - select all options and rebuild.
    5 - after the rebuild launch the iPhoto Library Upgrader
    select the rebuild V7 library and upgrade it.
    6 - launch iPhoto 9.5.1 and open the library.  Check to see if it's working as it should.

  • My iphoto library says I have 8,000 pictures, but my external drive says 55,000?

    When I look at the "photos" in iPhoto, at the bottom of the screen says I have about 8,000 photos in 520 events.  Earlier this evening I plugged in my LaCie 500 gb external hard drive and dragged my iPhoto library from finder into my external drive folder in order to copy it over.  However upon doing so the following little box appears:
    informing me that I actually need to copy over 55,000 items.  Can someone please help me understand why this is happening? Granted I dragged my entire picture folder over, but I don't have many pictures at all in any of those other folders, less than 100 in each if that. Thanks in advance!

    I should still just allow it to copy over?
    Yes - as I said
    Just let it finish and then verify the library and you will be fine
    Re what you are copying - several things like the iPod Photo Cache (sorry - mistyped that) can contain lots of "items" - as can the iPhoto library
    Just let it finish and then verify the library and you will be fine

  • When I am importing photos from DVD rom, iPhoto shows " not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library", but i have over 200G free in hard drive? how do i fix it?

    Mac Pro Book
    Mac OS X 10.7.5
    iPhoto 11 9.4.2
    importing photos into iphoto, shows "Photo cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library."
    tried creat new library, same thing.
    currently only has 2,500 photos in iPhoto
    Importing about 500 photos, but cant do it due to the message showed above.
    Who knows how to fix it?

    How much free space do you have on your hard drive?  Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Iphoto library appears to be missing

    I moved my iphoto library to an external drive, and deleted it on my mac to free up space. It's worked great like this for a month or so.
    Today the usb plug for the external drive got knocked out of the computer, and now I can't get any of the pics to open in iphoto.
    WHen i click on the library icon info on the external drive, it says that it has 23 gb, so I know the pics must be there, but I can't get them to open in iphoto.
    I've tried opening iphoto while holding down the option key and clicking to this library and i've tried clicking on the library to open it that way. No matter what I do, the program shows tehre are no pics tehre.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    ok . . . too weird - I opened an older back up, quit, and reopened wtih this library and it opened just fine. I have no idea what I did.

  • IPhoto library appears corrupted - help

    Within the last week I have upgraded to OS 10.6.3 and iPhoto 8.1.2
    When I click on the iPhoto icon in the dock, all of the event icons are intact, but when I click on an individual photo in any event I see a dark screen with an exclamation mark. The only event that is OK is the one created with my most recent batch of imports.
    I have tried restoring using TM, but it quits after about 10% of the library is restored. I was hoping to restore all my calendars and albums and so went back to a time when I was using iPhoto 8.0.3 (I think). Is that why I can't restore everything?
    I have tried holding down the option + command key to launch iPhoto and rebuilding from there. No success.
    I have tried using iPhoto Library Manager, again with no success.
    I do have all but one iPhoto event stored on the external drive. Can I delete the library on the HD and transfer everything back from the external drive?
    Is there anything I should try before I do that?

    I would drag the iPhoto library to the desktop and drag the backup version to the pictures folder and launch iPhoto - you probably will be ok but you will have all versions available just in case

  • How do you create additional free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library?  I have plenty of HD space.

    How do you create additional free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library?  When attempting to import images from a CD I get an "Insufficient Disk Space" message albeit there is plaenty of additional space on the hard drive.

  • I have macbook pro w existing iPhoto library. Now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. Cannot access iPhoto library from Canon software, but prints fine from iPhoto. How can I use iPhoto library w Canon software?

    I have a macbook pro w exisitng iPhoto library. I now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. I cannot access iPhoto library for use from Canon software. I can print from iPhoto directly to new printer without problem. How can I use iPhoto library with Canon software? I would like to try the software to see which I prefer...

    Simply export some photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and experiment.
    Without telling us even what this program is, not to mind what it does, that's the best anyone can suggest.

  • Can i delete my iPhoto library (since I have Photos)?

    Now that I've upgraded to Photos, can I delete my iPhoto library in User/Pictures?  With Photos, it created a parallel (same size) Photos library next to my iPhoto library.  Not sure I want two of the same photos on my HD and backups (since the size is considerable).  It made my SugarSync go over its limit, for instance.  I know that keeping the iPhoto library enables me to click on it specifically and open up the photos in iPhoto (instead of Photos).  If I delete my iPhoto library, just keeping my new Photos library with the same photos and movies, will it be detrimental in any way to my seeing the photos in Photos?  Does Photos have any dependence on the iPhoto library, or is the iPhoto library just an archive at this point?  Thank you!

    With Photos, it created a parallel (same size) Photos library next to my iPhoto library.
    The size you are seeing in the Finder is misleading. The new Photos Library and the iPhoto Library are sharing the image files and each photo is stored only one, see: Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
    Also: http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/02/the-hard-link-between-photos-and-iphoto/
    You could delete the iPhoto Library and the Photos library will continue to work, but deleting the iPhoto Library will not free much disk space, because of the hard links from Photos.  I would wait a bit, before taking  this step and deleting the iPhoto Library.  Check your photos library thoroughly, before you delete if. 
    If you should discover later, that the migration of your libraries has been faulty and you need to repeat it after repairing your libraries, you will be out of luck.
    Remember, it is is just a few days after the first release of Photos as version 1.0.  There are very likely some bugs and I would not burn all bridges before the library has been thoroughly tested and you are very confident, that this early Photos release is working well on your Mac.

  • Help! iPhoto Library appears to be unusable.

    I have a large library so my iPhoto is loaded onto an external Lacie drive. Was viewing pics when my 3 month old Macbook Pro's battery went dead. When I plugged in and rebooted, I received a message telling me to upgrade my iPhoto. I did, and now when it opens the library on the Lacie it shows that no pictures are available - even though the size (800gb +) is still there. I selected "open package content" on the library to see if the pics are actually there and after some searching I found a file called "Old Masters" and yes they are all there. What the heck happened and how do I get iPhoto back on track? Yosemite 10.10.1 iPhoto 9.6

    But the idea of organizing 15 year's worth of photos (again) is NOT pleasant.
    No, it really isn't.  This bug has wracked several iPhoto Libraries by now.
    Send feedback to Apple about this bug. It may help them to come up with a bug-fix sooner, and it might save a few iPhoto libraries.
    Use this form:  Apple - iPhoto Mac - Feedback
    Or, if you are willing to invest more time, see this link: Detailed and Effective Bug Reporting | Apple Support Communities
    If you do not have a backup to restore your library from, set up Time Machine now. A good backup is the only way to protect yourself from data loss: See this link:   Mac Basics: Time Machine

  • I have lost my most important iphoto library. I have several different photo libraries that use and the one that I have been using for this entire year disappeared when I switched back to look at photos from an old library, please help, thank you.

    I have also tried searching for them in finder and going through the trash, i have had no luck yet and confused on where they might be.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library normally located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    If you launch iPhoto with the Option key held down you'll get a window with all libraries that iPhoto an find.  What do you see in that window?
    If you select a library in the window it's location will be shown directly beneath that window.
