Iphoto photoshop brousing -can only see photos in iphoto albums not in pict

Why can I only see photos in albums and not in the general area of iphoto? In the finder it seems like there are no photos in the folders.
This started with my new camera a Canon A610 my older photos are there in any type of search. What can I do to make the Canon pictures show up in library. I am worried that the pictures are not there on my back up harddrive.

Be very careful when you're poking around with finder. Don't tamper unless you enjoy bleeding ulcers.

Lightroom 4 Bug: can only see photos in Library mode, not develop mode

This may be related to other imported catalog bugs, but does not seem to be quite the same. In Lightroom 4, with an upgraded Lightroom 3 catalog:
1. Select a photo in Library mode.
2. Click on Develop to go to Develop mode
Screen shows "No photo selected". I cannot edit photos in Develop mode.
I can see and edit photos that are found in smart collections, but not photos that are simply in my collections from 2012, 2011, etc. folders

This happened to me, too, after importing a couple older LR3 catalogs (upgrading/consolidating). I could see the photo in Library module but when I pressed "D" (single photo selected) I was getting the "no photo selected" error message--for every photo I tried. I wasn't able to open any photos at all in the develop module. (These were photos that were fine before installing LR4 and upgrading.) Photos were from imported LR3 and LR4 Beta catalogs.
I restarted and everything seems ok--for now!
So if you come across this thread with this same issue, restart and see if that helps. (Before restarting LR I optimized as suggested above, which did nothing for the "no photo selected" issue. And this isn't related to the parent folder issue, I left my photos in the same place and didn't have more than 3k photos in any of the parent folders. I read in other threads that people had the issue again after importing other catalogs. I'm about to do that so I'll report back.

HELP, please! My photos have disappeared from iPhoto library & I can only see them on the screensaver.

Firstly, I should say we haven't updated/installed/deleted anything. I just opened iPhoto yesterday and first it told me it couldn't open up without specifying a library, but then it seemed our library has just disappeared. I then created a new library as, I have to admit, me & my DH are complete tecno dummies, but that didn't help much. The only thing which we have done in the past couple of days is set up the screensaver to play our photos. So now we can only see the photos on that - I'm presuming that means they haven't been completely lost (?) but am in a panic as we've got no back-up (three years worth of photos!).
When I go on 'system preferences' (hope that's the correct translation, our computer's using Italian) and the screensaver, I can see 'picture folder' where all the photos are but I can't find that anywhere else on the computer.
Also, I read other threads about similar probs & tried launching iPhoto pressing down 'option & control' but that didn't help me out either.
We also spent half an hour on the phone to the Apple helpline here in Italy (yes, that's a charged call) to try and understand what's gone wrong and the advisor just kept telling us she didn't know how to help us out 'cause our Mac is an old model
Apologies in advance for my complete ignorance about how to solve this problem but I'd be really grateful if someone out there could shed some light on what's happened.

when you say to go to my Pictures Folder, do you mean to go on Finder, then Pictures, then look at the iPhoto library?
Yes. Is there more than one there?
The material in your screensaver are cached images. They cannot be recovered and soon they will go way.
If you have deleted your Library (and it sounds like you have done this, accidentally) the you have deleted your Photos and you need to restore from your back up.

Can't see photos of iPhoto through my Apple TV after moving the iPhoto library to my Airport Extreme Disk. It keeps "loading user's library" forever...

Hi there,
some days ago I purchased an Airport Extreme router with disk to move my iphoto library there and free space of my crowded macbook pro.
Everything was working well (iphoto takes a little bit longer to start and quit) but now I can't see my photo library through my apple tv.
It keeps loading the library forever.
Is there any problem doing that?
Thanks
jm

Help,
Thanks for the quick answer and for the welcome.
Yes I selected it in the iTunes sharing options (in fact several times, with resets in between just in case)
I think that it's related to the size of the library (more than 8 gb) and e fact that is in a remote disk (in the AirPort Extreme)
Hope anyone has the solution :-))
Thanks again!

ITunes can't see photos in iPhoto albums

Hi everybody,
I've just got my iPad yesterday and I'm loving it.
Alas, I can't seem to sync my iPhoto albums. They display in iTunes correctly, they all have photos in (in iPhoto) but when I select them to sync across, it states that there are zero photos in the albums.
Its also the same thing with my iPhone as well. I've the 3G model and can't sync photos to that either.
Any ideas?
I've already tried deleting the iPod cache within the iPhoto folder in the hope that it would rebuild itself.
I've also tried creating a new album, and put photos in, but iTunes can't even see this, despite restarting my computer.
It seems that iTunes is displaying the albums, but not seeing the photos at all.
If anybody could help, that would be fantastic.
Cheers
Adrian
PS... I'm running a new 15" MacBook Pro, with Snow Leopard, latest version of iLife, with everything clean after a full new reinstall last week.

What is the format of the photos?

TS4062 I can't see videos I have taken on my ipad either in iCloud or when I sync my ipad to my macbookpro (both are up to date) I can only see photos? The videos are only few seconds long?

I can't see videos i have taken on my ipad in the iCloud all synced as i can see the still photos i have taken but not the videos. The videos are only a few seconds long. I have also tried syncing via USB cable from iPad to my Macbookpro and it wont sync either the photos or the videos in iTunes I have re checked the sync set up in itunes bt still nothing?
Any ideas would be appreciated

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

IPhone can't see photos in iPhoto that are earlier than 2008

I have 2500 photos in iPhoto but iTunes/iPhone only thinks I have about 287 and they all seem to be photos I've uploaded in 2008 (but not necessarily taken in 2008 - like my album 'Xmas 2007' where all the photos were from late december, but loaded onto my PB in 2008).
iPhoto is working fine, by the way, they're all there and happy. It's iTunes that doesn't seem to be 'seeing' them.
Any ideas? It's driving me round the bend. My Mac is becoming more and more like a PC - doing these random things which seem inexplicable.

How can I see photos in iphoto 7.1.4 that don;t show up?

There are photos on my hard drive (under originals) that do not show up in Iphoto 7. When I try to drag the photos over to I photo from the Originals file, I get an error message saying that the photo already exists in the library.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
first you should never be mucking around in your iphoto library and especially you should never move or change any files inside the iPhoto library - doing so may corrupt your iPhoto library and cause you to lose data
Second you can not import photos into iPhoto from the iPhoto library - this is to protect you from damaging your library and to prevent creating duplicates
What specifically is the problem? how did the photos get into the iPhoto library? have you modified the iPhoto library using the finder in the past?

"Open iPhoto 5 or higher to see photos from iPhoto Library in this list" ??

This is a huge problem because I was in the middle of making a slideshow and then all of a sudden when I tried to choose a photo to put in the slideshow, it said "Open iPhoto 5 or higher to see your photos from your iPhoto Library in this list."
The problem is, is that I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6 and that's definitely higher than iPhoto 5, if I'm not mistaken. I'm trying to upload a video on my facebook profile and it says the same thing. What do I do?
This is what it looks like:

Two common causes of this issue:
Is there a photo cd in your disk drive. If so, eject it and try again.
Otherwise this can be a symptom of a damaged database:
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 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 and keywords 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 Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
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 on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll 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.

Since the most recent iPhoto upgrade, I can't sync photos from iPhoto to my iPhone or iPad. This is so frustrating! whereas previously all I had to do was put 'sync' as a keyword,

Why can I no longer export photos from iPhoto to my iPhone and iPad? Previously, when I used 'sync' as a keyword for a photo, it automatically exported to the other devices when they were synced with computer. This no longer happens so I don't know how to get photos from the computer onto my iPhone & iPad. Can anyone help as it's most annoying. So often updating software has really negative side-effects such as this.

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

After an iphoto update, half of my thumbnails went blank. Can only see photos in full size. How do I get thumbnails to reappear?

make a temporary backup of the library and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the option to rebuild the photos' small thumbnails .

IPhoto Library Problem; Can't See Photos

Hi guys. Looking for a little help here. I typically ran a desktop and my wife ran a laptop. We kept our files for iTunes and iPhoto separate. I had an account set up on her laptop just for basic browsing, email and iWork via iCloud documents. However I really need to take her laptop on some work related travel for over a week. I set up a copy of my music and my iPhoto library on an external hard drive to use on my account and it was working great. We ended up buying her a new laptop today and set it up via her most recent Time Machine back up (which was this morning). It set up both her account and mine. We ended up deciding to sell her old laptop and used disc utility to reformat and reinstall 10.10.
As we will be moving around a bunch soon we decided to sell my desktop as well so I did one final Time Machine backup and then reformatted and reinstalled 10.10 as well. Just minutes later I went to open iPhoto on the new laptop under my account and it said it needed to be updated before I could use it. It was working fine only a few hours earlier. Unfortunately it no longer sees the photos in my iPhoto library file on my external drive. The file is still there and is still the same size. The Old Masters folder inside the library package still has the pics, but iPhoto doesn't see it. So I tried to use the back up from my desktop to restore the library, but I can't seem to get my desktop back ups to work with Time Machine on the laptop.
So I have all the pictures on my small external drive library, just iPhoto won't see it. I also have a back up on my Time Machine external drive from just this morning (so only missing the five or six pictures taken today), but I can't seem to access that on the new laptop as it was set up with my wife's Time Machine back up. Is there any way to get the library file working or to get it off my back up drive? Or do I have to just get the raw files out of the Old Masters folder?
Thanks

Then I can just wipe it again before shipping it to its new owner.
Be sure to prepare the Mac according to this Apple document: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac - Apple Support

Front Row can't see photos in iPhoto library

I have been experiencing intermittent problems with Front Row and its ability to find my iPhoto library. I have even tried changing/adding libraries, but it doesn't want to work! I keep on getting "You don't have any photos in your iphoto library" when I select "Photos" from my Front Row interface.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a fix?

This is a hint from "iphoto library manager" which helped me. If you run this program you will see if there is a problem in your albumdata.xml file...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7158
In my case the keywords caused the problem. i opened iPhoto, deleted the keywords and ran iPhoto again. then front row worked again...
i hope this helps you as well...
Advanced Troubleshooting
If you want to try to find the item in your library that is causing the problem, follow these steps as a general guide:
The error message displayed in iPhoto Library Manager, after saying "The album data file for this library is malformed", should then read "XML parser error:", followed by a more specific error that specifies a line number. Take note of that line number
Select the library in question, click the Reveal In Finder button to show the library folder, then double click the folder to look at the library's contents. The AlbumData.xml file should be inside.
Open the AlbumData.xml using a text editor that has a function that will allow you to jump to a particular line number in a file. Microsoft Word provides this function, as does the free text editor TextWrangler.
Once the file is open, jump to the line that is specified in the iPhoto Library Manager error message.
You have now found the point in the file where the data is malformed. From here, the exact steps to actually fix the problem can differ, depending on what part of the file the error is in.
If you see a line reading "<key>List of Keywords</key>" not too far up from your position in the file, then the problem is with one of your keywords. Open your library in iPhoto, open the preferences window, and go to the keyword list. Double click on the offending keyword to rename it, and just re-type the name of the keyword to get rid of any invisible characters that might be in the keyword's name.
If the problem is located in a record for a particular photos (you should see lines for properties such as "MediaType", "Caption", "Comment", etc.), then you can either go to that photo in your library and try to edit the photo's information, or you can just remove that photo from your library altogether and re-add it later. Finding the photo can sometimes be tricky, especially if the bad data prevent's the photo's title or filename from being written out to the file.

IPhoto upgraded - now can't see photos

I have Mountain Lion on an iMac and have got 10.8.2 installed and iPhoto 11 (9.4.1).
There are 2 users. My wife and me.
After the iPhoto upgrade following installing 10.8, I got the message that the library needed to be upgraded and that earlier versions of iPhoto would not be able to read it. I duly clicked upgrade and everything works perfectly.
My wife did the same thing and her library was upgraded but now she can see nothing. The file structure is there - all the events and albums but they are just black squares. If you open an album, the photos are just black squares but if you click on 'info' all the picture data is there including locations shown on the map for the pictures with gps data. Her library still contains 15gb of data.
The same applies when opening in Aperture.
I have no idea what is going on or how to fix it and would appreciate any help. Thanks

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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

I have 2 iphoto libraries - when I opened iphoto today I can only see one (my old one) and I cannot find the other to "switch" too..

I had an old library on an old mac. I then started a new one on my new Mac and was able to easily switch between the two..
I opened iphoto today and I cannot find my old library which I'd added new photos too.
Hence all photos from the last year have disappeared...
Either this OR:
Half of my new photos have disappeared from my new library AND my old library has disappeared.
I've tried to find the library using a couple of ideas on this forum but i still can't find them....

What happens when you try to export from the library? Where are you trying to export to? Are both libraries located in the same Place? If not where are they located. If on an external HD how is that HD formatted?
How much free space do you have on your HD(s)?
