Iphoto shows correct thumbnail but does not show master photo or shows wrong master photo

iPhoto has been working fine for me for 2 years.  But yesterday I started noticing problems with the photos when scrolling thru all the photos in an event.
When viewing the event, I can see all of the correct thumbnails for the photos in the event.  But when I open the individual photos, some photos look fine, but others don't display at all (if I had added faces in the photo the frames for the faces show up on a black background).  If I swipe to scroll through the photos, the correct photo is displayed for less than a second and then is replaced by the last photo and gets either stretched or shrunk to be the same size as the photo that should be displayed.  If I view the actual file in the Finder, the master image looks perfectly fine.
I have tried repairing and rebuilding the database and neither one fixed the problem.
My software is up to date also.
I would like to export all of the photos from iPhoto to a different directory and just manage them myself, but I can't find an export feature in iPhoto. 
Anyone having the same issues with iPhoto or know of a way to easily export the photos?  Or can I just move the masters to a directory outside of iPhoto?

You have tried repairing and rebuilding, but have you also tried to recreate the thumbnails from the same First Aid  panel?
Or rebuilding using iPhoto Library Manager?

To export your photos from iPhoto read Terence Devlin's user tips on this page:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto?view=documents
The "Export" command is in iPhoto's "file" menu. You will want to export the original files and the edited versions.

  • When I try to upload a file it goes through the correct proceedure, but does not change the remote file i.e.Index.htm

    Hi
    I have an uploading problem to the server. The problem is when I try to upload a file it goes through the correct proceedure,
    but does not change the remote file i.e.Index.htm, or three stages1.htm.
    My Localroot folder is C:\Gods Plan Web\
    The site map layout is C:\Gods Plan Web\Index.htm
    The folder for the remote site is /public_html/
    Should the local root folder mirror the remote site, i.e./public_html/
    if this is so, what should I put into the
    (a) Local Root Folder box?
    (b) site map layout box?
    The FTP is performing well other than changing the intended file.

    You should be uploading only the contents of your local root to the public_html folder (remote root).
    The index.html you use as your site's home page needs to be in your site root. If you look at your Files window in DW, you should have something like the following...
    Site - Whatever you named your site
         index.html
         images
         pages
              page1.html
              page2.html
    If you have any folder between Site - and the index.html page, like...
    Site - Whatever you named your site
         mywebsite
              index.html
    It will upload to the public_html while still in that folder, so to find your page online, you would need to type something like...
    www.mydomain.com/mywebsite
    public_html should NOT appear within your local files and if it existed there, would cause a redundancy if uploaded. You would need to type www.yourdomain.com/public_html to see the uploaded pages.
    If you could post a screen shot of your expanded Files window while connected to the server (just connect and click the Expand button in Files, don't drill down into any of the directories), we may be able to see the issue.

  • My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas

    My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas?

    Are you seeing this
    when you double click on a thumbnail file?  If so it's an indication that the file path/link between the thrumbnail and original, full sized file has been broken.  Therefore, and assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later, try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • HT201412 My iPhone 3 is not seen on iTunes when I connect it. It is also showing low battery but is not even charging and continously showing the Apple logo... What should I do? Thanks in advance, Jahnavi...

    My iPhone 3 is not seen on iTunes when I connect it. It is also showing low battery but is not even charging and continously showing the Apple logo... What should I do? Thanks in advance, Jahnavi...

    Jahnavi,
    two things to be looked upon in this case. First thing is about the battery. Once the battery has enough charge in it we can try a force restore on the phone to re-install the iOS.
    > Try a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold the HOME button and the Sleep/Wake button until the phone restarts and comes up with Apple logo). After trying this step, try charging the phone and see if the battery holds the charge.
    > Once battery has enough charge in it then we can force it to DFO mode and perform restore. For restore refer to this link.

    I want to copy images to a memory stick for sharing with my family. This was possible in iPhoto via copy/paste but does NOT seem to be possible with photos...

    You can drag and drop (this will result in a compressed JPG) or hold the alt key and drag and drop (this will copy the original). You can also select the pictures and choose Export from the File menu.

  • In IPhoto, after I submit my book to the Apple store, it shows it uploading, but does not finish the process.

    after I submit my book to the Apple store in I photo, it shows that it assembles and uploads, but does not finish the process.  I cannot use the cancel button and have to force quit IPhoto to get out of the process.

    Assuming you're referring to iPhoto on your Mac here are some potential fixes you can try:
    1 -
    Go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked. If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.
    2 -
    Quit iPhoto.
    From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U).
    In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access.
    Find the "NetServices" entry in your Keychain Access window.
    Select the "NetServices" entry and press the delete key.
    Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again.
    You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully.
    After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order.
    3 -
    Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try ordering from there.
    Note:  Create a proof pdf file of the book as described in this Apple document, iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture, before ordering the book and keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when it arrives.

  • Norton Toolbar 5.5 shows as enabled but does not appear as toolbar. Norton Security 2011 has been re-installed w/o correcting problem. Toolbar shows on IE.

    Norton Toolbar works on my netbook (Windows XP) but suddenly stopped appearing on Firefox on my desktop (Windows 7). Both are running Firefox V3.6.13. On the View/Toolbars the Norton toolbar does not appear as an option.
    I rely on the Norton toolbar and will have to switch to IE (ughhhh!!!) if I cannot restore the toolbar to Firefox.

    Tools > Addons > Extensions - does that Norton extension appear in that listing?
    ''' '' "... They also point to the fact that I can access the toolbar through IE 8 as proof that their product is not at fault. " '' ''' <br />
    That answer from Norton wasn't accurate. IE uses a different version of the Norton toolbar than Firefox needs.

  • Group shows in contacts but does not populate to send?

    Say I want to send or forward an email to a group-- it works fine from the desktop. Although the iPhone Contacts book shows all members correctly, so I guess they are syncing properly, and when I type the name into the Send To field it autofills the group name, it then informs me that this doesn't look like a valid email address and does not populate with group addresses. 
    I see a number of folks have had similar questions but I'm not seeing an answer. IS there one? (iPhone 4, latest OS)

    the hd of the macbook shows both the old itunes folder (4123 songs, 25 GB) AND the new itunes folder (all songs, same size)
    both? on the new MB? where are these located?
    Your iTunes folder should be in the SAME relative position on the new Mac as on the old. If not, then try copying it to that place (e.g. ~user/Music/), then relaunch iTunes with the option key held down, and when asked to Choose Library.., point it to your iTunes folder. (iTunes needs a Library file pointing to a Music folder in order to display and play your music.)

  • My MacBook pro turns on, shows my background, but does not launch finder. Help please.

    When I turn on my MacBook Pro (2006, 15"), the background image shows up, but the finder does not launch. After about 10 minutes, my task bar will appear on the bottom of the screen, but the finder bar does not appear. The spinning wheel appears and will not go away. I have attempted rebooting a few times, and each time the result is the same.
    Suggestions?

    The folder with a question marks is usually an idication that the Mac can't find the system file to boot from.
    Since you never told us which system your Mac was running there is nothing more to say.

  • My wife and I have new IPad Airs. I was able to download and use the NY Time Crossword app, but can't get it to download on hers. It shows as "purchased" but does not appear as an icon on her home page, but is on her purchased page. Any ideas?

    Can't get NYTimes Crossword app to download onto my wife's IPad Air. It shows as "purchased" but when trying to download with the Cloud icon, it just circles for a while, then stops. The app works fine on my IPad. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • Just moved and Time Capsule shows green light but does not connect to internet?

    Help! I just moved and am trying to set up my wifi network unsuccessfully. I know the Internet is working as I can get online if I plug the computer directly into the modem via Ethernet cable. I've tried disconnecting and powering down everything, reconnecting modem and Time Capsule, then turning on modem, Time Capsule, then computer, with several minutes in between. Now I have a green light on the Time Capsule but in AirPort Utility it shows and amber light for Internet and says the connection is "Disconnected".
    All my software is up to date. What do you think???

    Modem.. what modem.. what kind of internet??
    Open the utility and check the TC wan address??
    If it is cable modem it can take 15min or more for the IP to reset.
    Is the cable modem also a router??
