Iphoto not displaying front cover photos in my book project

After installing iphoto 11 the front cover page in my book project will not display the photos or the text, how ever the text will display if clicked on and then only 1 line at a time. The photos on the other hand will not. When the photo boxes are clicked on, the border will highlight and the photo in the thumbnail list will be outline and the word "COVER" will appear when the curser is over the photo. The back cover is fine.
When the book is previewed the front cover is blank just as it appears in the working process.
Is there a fix for this? If the book is ordered will the photos magically in the hard copy?
Bob

Be sure to preview the book as described in this Apple document before ordering: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. If the PDF file is has no errors continue and order. Save the PDF file that is created for comparing to the printed copy when it arrives.

IPhoto not displaying all imported photos

Hi!
I am having trouble viewing all of my photos in iPhoto. They are all in my iCloud, and they appear in that photo stream. However, after I have imported *ALL* of my photos from my iPhone, iPhoto is only displaying some of them. It seems like there is an algorithm that is picking only one photo to display from a series of similar photos, (note: I am not talking about burst photos). I do a lot of shooting with my iPhone for my business, and I hate that I'm not able to access all of them in iPhoto. I also want to make sure that I am actually getting them all archived on my computer before I delete them from my phone. I have used the "Rebuild Thumbnail" function that you can access by holding down command and control when starting iPhoto. This seemed to help some, but it certainly did not restore all of the thumbnails.
I'm running a mid-2011 Macbook Air with OSX 10.10.2 and iPhoto 9.6. My iPhone is up to date also with iOS 8.1.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for replying Larry. I am importing via direct USB connection and importing through iPhoto app, not just syncing with iTunes. My photo library is located on my Time Capsule. But I had this problem before I relocated the library to the time capsule actually.

I cannot change the cover photo on a book I am creating??????

I cannot change the cover photo on a book I am Creating????????

Well I did do it right.... I did drag the photo that I wanted to be the cover photo to the cover and it would not stay there. Other photos drag where you want them.
What I exactly want to do it change the book cover photo. The program for making a book sorts the photos where it feels they best fit. How it decided on a cover photo I do NOT know. I do not get any ERROR messages. I simply cannot find a way to change the book cover photo.
If you are unable to assist someone then do not nail them for not giving enough information. I was asking for help not to be treated like an idiot. Your comments were no help. Whatsoever!!! J

IPhoto not displaying photos

First off, I am no expert (thats why I am here) but I have been using Macs and iPhoto for some time. I am on an iMac i5 / OSX 10.7.2 / iPhoto 11
After upgrading to Lion, my iPhoto doesn't display all of my photos. In fact, it only displays a small portion of them. Let me break down my observations and what I have tried:
- Many months worth of pics not displayed in the open application
-Pics ARE present in the "contents" of the iPhoto package. They are organized of course in the crazy folder system but eventually I was able to track them down. But iPhoto doesn't display them when open. Many events missing.
-All albums show up empty now because the likely contained photos from the missing events
-I figure something is corrupted so I did a rebuild with apple/option and openning iPhoto. This took forever and in the end it was the same. I believe I clicked all the options when doing so.
-I have searched high and low for the iPhoto plist. I know it sounds crazy but I can't find it anywhere (not in user/library/preference/... lots of other plists there but not for iPhoto). Supposedly it has to exist if I have ever openned iphoto, but I don't know where else to look.
My end goal is to display all the pics and keep them in their appropriate events. Not overly concerned about albums or titles or other info.
I am even willing to just start from scratch with a totally new iPhoto library if that will fix my problem and if things will be put into the current events by date. But I am not sure what the best way to do that would be.
I have read the forums carefully and can't seem to find the solution. Any and all sugestions welcome.
Thanks.
Nick

I will get that for you soon... I am currently importing photos into a brand new iPhoto since I wasn't having luck with the rebuild. Only 12k more to go... It won't let me recreate the error while importing in iPhoto.
As I mentioned above, I created one new library, but didn't like that it put everything into just two events. I deleted the whole thing in hopes that I could get something else to work. In the end I am back to creating a new library and then plan to ask iPhoto to split the events (didn't see that option the first time around). A lot of extra work.
I would like to know what you think about the error it was giving me. As I mentioned at the beginning, I have been unable to find the iPhoto plist anywhere. I looked everywhere it is supposed to be and have had zero luck. I understand that that seems almost impossible, but its true. This might have something to do with the plist error I recieved.
Also, when using iLM, the option to create a new library gives me a sort of skeleton of my other, corrupted library. It lists all the albums and even has the events labeled and dated but there is no content anywhere, not even thumbnails, just the default gray palm tree of an empty event. Not sure what to make of that.
I'll post the error when I can if it doesn't get to late. ( I live in Spain so I'm at least 6 hours ahead of the states!)

HT1553 I restored my hard drive from time machine. Why is iPhoto not displaying images properly?

I restored my hard drive from time machine after power blinks corrupted the file system so badly that disk utility could not repair it. Since then, iPhoto has not displayed images correctly. Events are there, and blank squares are shown, but that's all. I rebuilt small and all thumbnails and permissions -- I think the top three or four options in the iPhoto rebuild utility, which took five hours to do but which seems not to have changed anything. The iPhoto library is still more than 100GB, so the photos are there. I didn't choose rebuild from backed up --- whatever the final option on the rebuild menu offers -- because that seems to be appropriate only when a backup is interrupted. Could certainly do it, though. How do I get iphoto behaving again? I have full time machine backups saved automatically and another fairly recent copy on a separate hard drive stored remotely. Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide. I've looked at existing questions and solutions without success so far.

What version of iPhoto and system are your running? Since you've tried rebuilding with iPhoto give this a try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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.
If you have an external HD you might want to have the rebuilt copy created on it unless you have well more than 100 GB available on your boot drive.

Itunes will not display my existing photos and I cannot rebuild them either

Hey IPhoto will not display my photos aand will not let me rebuild them from any existing library or back up file?

Your interests would be better served if you posted your problem in the iTunes forum. The people there are oriented towards iTunes more than here.
Ciao.

Why have my 20,000 photographs from iPhoto not been transferred to photos in your recent iOS upgrade

why do you make life difficult when you issue upgrades . Surely you should check that they do what you say they will do!!
IiPhoto becomes photo , easy peasy you say photos from iPhoto library will automatically transfer across to photos .
bit of a let down when you find that out of 20,000+ photographs NOT ONE was transferred from iPhoto library . I take it that I have got to sit in front of my screen and transfer one by one , because to my horror tried to update from my Time Machine back up it does not transfer album data across at all . Heart felt thanks for that guys !
ALso so some of the shots won't transfer because metadata is compromised .
CAn I revert to Iphoto and get rid of photo ?

bit of a let down when you find that out of 20,000+ photographs NOT ONE was transferred from iPhoto library
You have to open your iPhoto library with Photos to convert it to the Photos format. Launch Photos with the Option key held down and check to see how many libraries are presented in the window. If there is a Photos library open it to see if there's any photos. If not then you haven't opened the iPhoto Library with Photos to convert it. So launch Photos again with the Option key held down, select the iPhoto Library and let it convert.
Also, the iPhoto application is still in the Applications folder. It was just replaced in the Dock with Photos. If you were using iPhoto 9.6.1 before upgrading to 10.10.3 you can still use it with your iPhoto Library.

HT2638 iPhoto not displaying images at 100%

I am trying to build a book of wedding photographs for my niece and finding iPhoto 11 crops some of the images - they are not displayed in full in the frames. Is there any way to force the app to show the images at 100%? You can enlarge the image by dragging the slider across, but not decrease the size to show the full image.

Wow, that easy! I feel such a dork ... Thanks Terence, don't know why I did not think of that!

Iphoto Not keeping my imported photos

When I import photos into iphoto from the SD card, once I exit/quit the application and reopen it. The photos are ANYWHERE in Iphoto, not even in the trash can, or in last import, last 12 months. I can't find them anywhere in Iphoto, they are been moved to the hard drive/in the documents area. I don't know how this is happening, I don't know what to do. It's never done this before. Please help! Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A +Managed library+, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
A +Referenced Library+ is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key 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?

IPhoto not responding importing some photos

Hello,
I have a macbook pro 13. This is my first mac. I was trying to import all my photo library to iPhoto (all the images folders in windows), but it's becoming impossible. Everytime I try to import my photos, iPhoto freezes in a particular photo and I can do nothing, I must force exit and restart the program. Then the program tries to re-import the photos but everytime happens the same. Besides, everytime it generates a new iphotolibraryrecovered folder.
My first thought was that importing a huge quantity of photos could be the problem, but it's not. Today I tried to import about 500 photos from a folder and everytime it freezes on the same photo. A solution could be deleting this photo or not importing it, but it's not a good solution, because in this folder this is the only photo with a problem, but when I try to import my 10000 photos, there are a lot of photos with this problem.
I'm using the last version of iPhoto.
Is there any solution to this problem? I'm I the only one who have this problem?
A lot of thanks and sorry for my poor english

Then the program tries to re-import the photos but everytime happens the same. Besides, everytime it generates a new iphotolibraryrecovered folder.
Quit iPhoto and go to your pictures folder (the default location) and right click (control Click) on the iPhoto library and select show package contents - find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - do not move or change anything else
Look in the import(ing) folder on the desktop and if there are any photos in it that still need to be imported do so and then trash the folder form the desktop
Everytime I try to import my photos, iPhoto freezes in a particular photo and I can do nothing, I must force exit and restart the program.
Is there anything special (or different) about this photo?

IPod does not display album cover art

I recently updated to iTunes 9 and also bought a new MacBook Pro. Then I synced my old iPod color with my new Mac. Since then my iPod does not display the album art work anymore. I was looking through iTunes 9 for the option to display the artwork on the iPod because I remembered that setting from older versions but could not find it. Does iTunes 9 just asume my iPod can't display covers because it is a 4th gen even though it is the color version?

hi mduran, no i could not find any solution. My iPod (60gb, probably the same as yours) is filled to the top and has been before the iTunes update and then it worked fine. I think this is a bug in iTunes. It's interesting to see that this happens in the Mac and Windows version of iTunes. Is there any way of telling Apple about that so it will be in the next update?

Ipad contacts not displaying all fields from mac address book, ipad contacts not displaying all fields from mac address book

After syncing mac address book to ipad contacts, the ipad does not display all the fields that were in Mac address book (in my case all the email addresses). Anyone have a fix?

I have a problem similar to DeeRun's.. I would like the IM fields to be synced.. I use them to send e-mails to when the e-mail field is empty or when i just want to use that specific address.. Very annoying, would take hours if not days to transfer all those IM adresses to e-mail fields in addressbook..
EDIT: not to mention the mess it would make in my address book!

Problem Dragging a photo into a BOOK project

I did this last week. But now I can't seem to drag a photo out of one album into a book album so that I can add this photo to the book during the layout process. There doesn't seem to be a work-around for this. When I called Apple, they wanted $199.00 to help me trouble-shoot this. Anyone have any ideas how I could fix this or make this work?

I hope I have the right context: Ruscle is correct, but you have another option. If its not the pick of the stack, you can designate a non-pick as an "album pick". It should work for the book you are working on from then on. Go to the Stack menu and select Album Pick. See example here (scroll about halfway down - look for the "Non-Pick Images" error window):

That site has several nice tutorials and some great tips, by the way.

PDF of iPhoto book not displaying text under photos

Just created a wedding book in iPhoto 11 but when I saved it as pdf to proof it, text under photos was not there. I could see the top of some letters at bottom of photos. However, on my slide show and in reviewing the book in iPhoto, text is there. So, if I upload the wedding book to Apple (or whoever they contract with), will the text appear in the published book?

First there are no psychics here who can see the future - if you preview according to the Apple specs then the delivered product is guaranteed to match the resulting PDF
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
