IPhoto shows events as empty but photos are inside

When I opened iPhoto today a few events I recently worked on had changed. They're shown as empty (0 photos) with a place holder graphic. It does show me when the photos were taken though and when I open the event all the photos are there.
Also, the first event in this series shows up as containing a large number of photos (350) but when I open it, it only contains the photos which should be in it.
Re-starting iPhoto doesn't help. Also opening and closing the event and re-assigning a key photo doesn't change anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did not work for me. Still showing:
Any other ideas?
Thank you

Event is created but photos are not in it

I recently put iPhoto11 on my husband's Mac. I saved the library then uninstalled it from my old Mac. I didn't have any problems putting the old library into the new computer but it coincided with the last update. I'm not sure if the problem is with the update or with the new installation.
I download photos from my SD card. It creates an event and they show up in "last import". Then I click on the event (which will say under the key photo how many photos there are) and when in the event it says "there are no photos". They are all gone. I go back out and there is my key photo with the number of photos that are supposed to be in that event but they are not in there. The photos will show up in the library temporarily, as well as last import and I have tried adding them to albums, but if I log out of iPhoto then log back in the event is gone and so are all the photos I just downloaded. They are not in the albums I put them in or in "last import".
Where do I begin to troubleshoot?

Option 1
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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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.
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. .

When I connect my iPod touch to my computer, I have a list of Events on my iTunes/iPod/Photos. I want to erase these Events. However, the photos are NOT on my MacBook Air. When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod.

When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod. And one last thing: When I connect the iPod and open iPhoto, iPhoto tries to load New Photos (I think), but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Resolved.

HELP! Copied the iPhoto Library folder to backup, but files are smaller

Help! To get more space on my laptop, I copied some photos to a backup hard drive, following the instructions in iPhoto help: "Copy the iPhoto Library folder on your hard disk to another disk." I then deleted many of the photos from my laptop.
Now I'm looking at the photo files on the backup hard drive, and noticing that they are much smaller in size than the originals, for example 45 KB versus 1.1 MB. I tried a test photo by copying a photo from the hard drive back into iPhoto on my laptop, then opened the photo next to the original. Much smaller resolution!
Then I go to the laptop's iPhoto Library Folder (where all the photos are supposed to reside) and find this particular photo, and sure enough, it shows that the file size is indeed much smaller (45 KB) than the photo information shows when I have the photo open in iPhoto (1.1 MB).
So what's going on? Have I lost the detailed information on all of the backed-up photos, or does iPhoto get more information from somewhere? Am I really backing up everything when I follow the iPhoto Help instructions and just copy the iPhoto Library Folder?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It sounds as if you copied the Data folder only which contains the thumbnail files. If you don't have a backup or the entire library or the original files I'm afraid you're out of luck. You could try recovering them from the HD (if you haven't used it much since deleting the image files) with SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. It will let your run it in demo mode to see what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Hi, Question about secure empty trash. I moved some Time Machine backup files to the trash from an external hard drive. Now I can't secure empty trash. It starts, finds 74,003 files, and does nothing. The external hard drive shows it's empty, but it isn't

I moved some time machine backup files from an external USB hard drive to the trash. Tried secure empty trash. It counts 74,003 items, then just sits there. The external hard drive window shows it's empty, but the info pane says it only has 50G of memory left. I left the secure empty trash on over night. It did nothing. Ideas?
Thanks,
Ron

Relaunch the Finder, then from the Finder menu bar, select
Finder ▹ Preferences ▹ Advanced
and uncheck the box marked Empty Trash securely. Try again to empty the Trash.

IPod is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes.

iPod touch is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes... any ideas how to fix? Tried resyncing, didn't work.

I'm fishing slightly but you may have casing inconsistenices in artist or album names that cause the iOS firmware to see more than one instance of the album but with each getting all the tracks. Merging stuff in iTunes via sort fields may also have unintended consequenses on the device. Could you post back a screenshot or decribe the symptoms more fully, ie. exactly which menu screen you are in on the iPod, what is repeated etc. The songs menu for example can correctly list more than one copy of a song if it appears on different albums.

Prime shows wrong cli credentials but they are good

Hey!
Prime discovered both Nexus 7k Core Router. All fine...
On the first one Prime is getting all informations with entered CLI credentials in the device work centre.
On the second Nexus it always shows "wrong cli credentials" but they are 100% correct.
Login into the second Nexus via putty and the same credentials is also fine.
I can't convince Prime tocollect the Informations from the second Nexus.
Even ssh from prime cli to this device ist ok...
Any ideas?

ok, tried all that was said here. Nothing worked ... I do have banners, but no # sign ... removed them anyways ... then thinking about the banners might be causing issues for what PI expects ... (i do have my prompts changed to mask the platform) ... so i defaulted back to regular prompts ... WORKED !!!!
So here is what works for me ... no banners, no custom prompts AND device added through the 'classic theme'.
I presume the expectation is that the device begins with minimal config ... the rest is pushed through the config templates deployment. But have the developers thought of existing devices ? is it IOS version related (target device) or simply a bug.
BTW, PI v2.1
Edit --- needing to clarify, for some models (namely UC520) ... removed banner, custom prompts and i could add it comfortably through the Lifecycle interface.
Others (3550), could be inserted easily with banners and custom prompts ... rather inconsistent, though at least , i have working recipes.
Thanks for the help all :)

After ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

after ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

did uncheck all music and resynced afterwards. Got all my music back on the phone. Next morning, the phone had greyed out 1/3 of the songs all by itself. Seems to have something to do with syncing over wifi. No solution yet other than resyncing all my playlists one by one,
Combined with a battery that drained 5% every 5 minute before I reset the network settings, I am not impressed with Apple's premature launch of their new os. This is what beta testing is for, folks. The iPhone should be done with the growing pains. Shame.

IPhoto events appear empty but only when I click on them...

After reaching 56,000 photos in my iphoto library, I decided to upgrade to Aperture 3.3
I have tried sharing the iphoto library between both programs but in iPhoto there is a strange problem...
If I click on "Photos" all my photos are there.
If I click on "Events" all the Events appear with the Key Photo uppermost and the number of photos in each even stated...
BUT if I click on any individual event, it says "No photos" and nothing comes up.
I have rebuild the thumbnails and now the entire database but with no luck
Any suggestions warmly received

anything here that helps?

Photo Count is Correct But Photos are not Showing

I just imported my old photos to iPhoto. All 19,000 of them. Photo shows correct number of photos but when I look at the photo view area, not all the photos are there. But there's an album that appeared below where I can view the new photos i just transferred. How is it that they are not showing in the Photo are but shows on an album? Faces still running. Will it show after Faces is done?

but when I look at the photo view area, not all the photos are there.
What do you see?

I have uploaded my photos from my trip to iphoto from my iphone and the folder is still there until events and photos but the photos are nowhere to be found. Please help!!

Please explain and provide details
What versionn of iPhoto and of the OS?

What does this mean? In iPhoto folders are organizational elements adn can not hold photos - folders hold other folders and albums (in the source pane on the left)
Are you photos in the last import list?

Using iPhoto on External, but photos are mysteriously being loaded internal

I just recently moved my iPhoto library to my external hard drive. It works fine there. I deleted the library on my MacBook Pro. However, when I upload photos from my camera, it shows both the external hard drive's memory and the laptop's memory being consumed.
Why is it copying to both places?
How do I stop it?
How do I find the phantom copies on my internal so I can delete them?

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, I always get the two confused. If I check "Get Info" on my laptop's drive or the external hard drive, it shows that while the photos are being imported, I am losing disk space on my laptop as well as my external. I'm also losing disk space on the external, which is what I want, since the photos are being imported correctly from the camera to my external like they should.
I just copied my iPhoto library into my external, pressed Option while opening iPhoto and selected the external as my library. Then I deleted my laptops photo library. The photos that I imported after all of this show up perfectly fine in my external library.
Thanks for the help,
Shiray

Album title shows and Music plays, but photos will not play in slideshow

iPhoto 8 latest version
Macbook Pro
10.6.8
i'm working on a clients computer and he is having issues when he selects images within an album anywhere between 3-10 photos. Clicking on Slideshow button to start it. It will come up with the full black screen with slideshow settings - hitting play will start the music and show the album name..after that its a blank screen; none of the photos are coming up.
I tried selecting other images in another album and same issue.
I closed iPhoto and removed com.apple.iphoto.plist to the desktop and restarted iphoto with no change.
The only other thing I can think of is rebuilding the library. but I do not see any issues with the images within the album.
My client said that he noticed this after his son-in-law attached his iPad to the machine. But nothing was changed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What do you see if you try to edit one of those photos? Do you see this in the window?
Click to view full size
As a first attempt at a fix make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
