IPhoto not showing image for editing

In iPhoto, in events, I click on an event, then highlight a photo.  When I double click the thumbnail, I see a preview but when I click that to edit or if, on the thumbnail, I right click>"edit in iPhoto", all I see is a blank screen.  If I highlight the thumbnail and click Reveal in Finder>original file, I get "can't find it" or if I click >modified file, I get iPhoto library>previews>the file.  I have by shear accident been able to find iPhoto>masters and see that the original files are still there.  How can I get back to iPhoto finding the masters and allowing me to edit?

If I highlight the thumbnail and click Reveal in Finder>original file, I get "can't find it"
Your library is corrupted. Try restore from your back up. If that fails:
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.

  • Clicking on thumbnail in iPhoto does not open image for editing/viewing.

    Clicking on images in iPhoto 7 does not open large images for editing or viewing. No ? or ! shows, just blank white screen with all buttons active as if the image is ready for editing. iPhoto library is about 50GB. What I've tried: created new library and imported 20 photos, rebuilt library w/keys using last 3 items in list, rebuilt library using iPhoto Library Manager. Quit everything, repaired permissions via Disk Utility. Nothing has worked. Was working fine a few days ago with same camera, same settings, etc. Utterly baffling, would love other suggestions?

  • Iphoto not showing images

    Some of my photos are not showing in iPhoto,i can see them when i open the events tab but when i click on the image to view i get a black screen with an exclamation mark,this does not happen on all images,on the same event i can have 10 images but only see 2 and the rest will not show,all the 10 images would have been taken on the same day,i have tried option/command and open iPhoto to restore thumbnails but this did not work

    This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
    this can be caused by two things
    1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto  library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2  or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the iPhoto library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you did them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of any "clean up software" ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
    2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - If it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

  • Mobile Safari not showing images

    Hi there,
    Since upgrading to 4.01 and then 4.02 on my iPhone, Safari seems to intermittently not show images on websites... does anyone know the reason for this and a solution?

    I am having the same issue. I have found in my case the site I was working on is pulling content from JSON and the mobile app is using a Cache Manifest file. When I removed the manifest file reference I could see the images again.

  • Do not show dots for 'free' events in the calendar month view

    I wish I could.... not show dots for 'free' events in the calendar month view. For an overview of when I have hard-scheduled events in the calendar it's pretty tedious and slow to go day -by day, and other views... Instead the dot  in the month view... - why does it show even "free" events? Any ideas, tips?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately there is no option to disable the dots.

    Since upgrading to the newest version of ios 8, I can no longer share my photos on facebook. I have tried going to settings-privacy-photos, but the facebook app does not show up for me to change the settings. Any suggestions?

    when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

    If you open the Organizer and go to Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader, do you have Auto Launch Adobe Photo Downloader on Device Connect checked?
    Try checking that if you don't.

  • SharePont 2013 Document Library lookup Column Properties not Showing Correctly when editing in Word

    Hi
    I keep seeing this issue albeit intermittently.  I have set up a doc library for my users which has a custom content type (lookup, metadata columns, etc)  . They all appear perfectly most of the time except the lookup column. Sometimes is just
    decides to display the title field of the current library and not the lookup list title .  It is weird as it has been working perfectly for ages given the library is populated with valid documents.
    There are some fixes listed here. Has anyone got any experience of this?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the lookup  column not display well while editing in word.
    Did you customize the Document Information Panel?
    I recommend you edit your custom document information panel or create a new document information panel, then re-publish it to check whether it works.

    Or you can also use the methods in the post you have pasted to check whether it works.
    As the limitation of the environment, we could not reproduce the issue in our environment.
    I  would suggest you open a case to Microsoft Customer Service via Phone.

  • Cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw file

    Just upgraded to CS6
    cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw files.
    Can see thumbnails in CS5.1 bridge  and LR 4.2 which fortunately i did not uninstall.
    Bummer since I am up against a hard deadline.
    Really Sucks

    We can't know. You are not offering any system information or e.g. info about what image files you are working with. Since they do show up in your otehr programs, my assumption would be that you need to switch the Camera Raw engine back to the 2009/2010 version in Photoshop and not use the default new 2012 one. Perhaps your thumbnails will appear then....

  • JList not showing images

    Have raised a thread giving details of the problem in Java2D forum
    JList not showing images
    Have anybody experienced this issue? I face this issue only when i use swingworker and only for small images (few kBs). It works fine for large images (More than 1MB files). I use Win 7.
    Regards,
    Sreram

    One, do you say because i set the model each time, sometimes the list is not getting repainted? I didn't say that. It's just good concurrency practice to only manipulate models on the EDT, particularly when SwingWorker easily allows the break up of loading the images in a background thread and updating the model on the EDT through the publish/process methods.
    Will the splitting up of worker as process chunks be of any use? Again it's just a good habit to get into for concurrency reasons.
    As for your repainting issue, try changing this line
    item.setImage(getImagefromFile(f)); to
    item.setImage(new ImageIcon(getImageFromFile(f)).getImage()); The ImageIcon class uses MediaTracker to synchronously load images (you can use your own if you want). If you're getting your images via the Toolkit.createImage# methods, then the images need to be loaded. Usually what happens is the toolkit image will get loaded when first drawn. The component that's doing the drawing gets repainted as more of the image comes in. But in the case of a JList, that component is the cell renderer pane and it doesn't care about repaint() calls. So changing the above line will insure the images are already loaded and ready to draw when first shown. tjacobs01 post reminded me of this.

    Subject: the monitors of on location CS3 not showing image from Sony FX7
    Breezley,
    OnLocation CS3 used Direct Draw to create the video window.  In Vista, you may have noticed that OnLocation CS3 would disable 'Aero' themed desktops as they did not support Direct Draw.  Windows 7 does not have this functionality, so you must disable the Aero theme manually to see the video in OnLocation CS3.
    To do this, right click on open desktop and choose Personalize.
    This will display available Themes.
    Scroll down to the 'Basic and High Contrast Themes'.
    Choose any one of the basic or high contrast themes.
    Restart OnLocation CS3.
    This should bring your video back into view.

    I am going to assume you are using Safari here. If so then go to the Apple menu bar and hit Safari-> Preferences.  Under the Apperance tab there is a check box that is called "Display images when the page opens".  Check if that is unticked.
