IPhoto Thumbnails and Photos Not Displaying After Restore

Hi,
I recently reset my iMac to overcome an indexing problem. I backed up my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and once the Mac was rebuilt I copied the iPhoto file back across from the backup to the iMac.
When I ran iPhoto and selected the iPhoto library to use, I get the Events thumbnails grid but there is no content other than the name of the event.
If I click on an Event I then get:
Clicking on a photo gives me:
I tried copying and importing the iPhoto file again, but the same thing happens.
I can see by inspecting the Media folder under the Import to Library option that all the photos are there.
I've tried rebuilding and repairing the iPhoto database by holding down Option/CMD when opening iPhoto and selecting options 3, 4, 1 and 2 in that order but still hasn't helped.
Anyone know why they're not displaying?
Thankfully, when I backed up the iPhoto library I also "exported" all the photos as individuals to my Cloud storage, so I also have another backup - but I'd rather not use this second backup if possible as I want to keep my Events as per the main backup.
I also have a 3rd backup (yes, I'm paranoid about my photos!) on Time Machine (didn't use that for the restore as I was told it would re-introduce the indexing errors).
Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing this is as it should be?
That looks good, your original image files are still in the iPhoto Library but need reconnecting.

Then try the last resort and rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager. You can download it here, the free trial will suffice for this: Fat Cat Software – iPhoto Library Manager

Home page background photo not displaying after changing out the image

I decided to edit the photo that was my background image for my desktop home page. Now it doesn't load when I access the site from my mobile or iPad even though it is there and displays fine from my desktop.
I have a mobile version of my site with a link to the desktop version included in my navigation menu. I don't have a tablet version of my site.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm stumped.

Hey, Thanks Brad. It doesn't seem to be timing out (i.e there is no "processing" indicator in the browser the way it looks if something is trying to load). It gets all settled in and just never brings up the photo. It's a little reluctant to do so on the desktop, but after a half a second it goes ahead and puts it on there.
Additionally, not sure if this is related,... but the text I have on the home page jumps about and is not a mirror image of what I see on the Muse design side. I had to put the text boxes on top of each other to get them to into place when I publish to desktop. They kept trying to go on top of the plane for some reason even though I had them placed just so on the design side. But this started happening before I replaced the image so maybe it's unrelated. Idk
One thing, I wonder: I thought Muse did it automatically, but do I maybe need to optimize the photo for web? Outside of that, the only other thing I can think of to do is to delete the current home page and start fresh. But I'm afraid to do that. I don't know how to do that.
Thanks so much for your help. I will PM a link fyi.

Font and Photo not displaying messages

When using messages in OS X Mavericks my buddies photo is displayed against the bubble, howevermy photi is not displayed next to my bubble. I have checked and I do have a photo associated with my account. Also if I checnge the look and feel of my bubbles by changing the font type the change works for my buddies bubble but no matter what changes I make to my own bubble it always displays in the default font.

Hi,
By Default the image used in Messages is the one associated with the Buddy Lists.
If you have only the iMessages account in use it will fall back on using the Pic in the My Card in the Contacts list - this is turn is likely to be the pic you chose on creating the Login Pic shown in System Preferences> User and Groups > Your account.
That is to say that when you set up the Mac or the Mac User Account you chose the Login Pic.
This is then added to the Contacts App as the My Card pic when you add your Name to the details.
That pic is then used as the Default in Messages (including the iMessages account) until such time you change th Buddy List pic.
For this you need to enable at least the Bonjour account in Messages > Preferences > Accounts
Then from the Window Menu you can display the Buddy List(s). (They can be separated out by the setting in the General Section (of the Preferences) that refers to "showing all Buddy List in one List").
Once there is a Buddy List Pic then the iMessages account uses this.
The Menu item that seems to refer to change the Pic only refers to Changing it for the Buddy lists - but as a consequence it then uses it for the iMessages account.
FONTS.
The Font is changed in Messages > Preferences> Viewing.
However the background colour has to be taken of Automatic first.
The Background can be any of the options or the item at the bottom of the drop down allows you to alter the colour to anything you want.
THEN you can change the Font and it will stick and not revert to Helvetica.
The Font Text colour can also be changed.
These Details are written to a file called com.apple.ichat.plist
If you have lost the ability to Write to this item then they also will not stick.
Let me know if this is the case and we can pursue that if the other options don't work.

IPAD resetting itself and will not activate after restore

Hi
I got an iPAD 3G+WIFI just over a month ago and everything was working fine. all of a sudden it just started resetting itself. I got a message on screen saying I should restore the iPAD and a strange error saying "iPhone cannot call" (or something like that) so I connected to iTunes, backup, and restored. The problem is that after restore the iPAD won't activate and iTunes puts up an error saying "We're sorry, iPAD is damaged. Please take to the closest Apple store". (I tried all sorts of forced restart and restore that I found in various forums but it just won't activate)
Now...the additional problem... I got this as a gift from the US, but I live in Malta (Europe) and the closest Apple store is basically in another country!! The local Apple agent isn't licensed for servicing iPADs yet.
1. Can this be solved via software?
2. Is it possible to ship back via post?
Thanks

I sounds like a hardware problem to me. I suspect you can send it back but first your typically need and RMA number which you get from Apple. Have you asked the locale store of how to send it back? Since it seem that it is within the 90 day free telephone support period you should be able to call Apple in the USA for shipping instruction. Go to the USA Apple site to find contact information.

Playlists and Photos not synching after iOs 7 upgrade

I upgraded to iOS 7 on my 4S successfully and also updated to the latest itunes version. However, I cannot synch my iphoto events nor playlists correctly. the songs show up but not the playlists. Certain photo events did not show at all. iPhoe tries to keep sunching after being disconnected. Reboot did not solve the problem. Should I do a "hard reset" or are there other options? Anybody experiencing the same?
Thanks.

I have a similar problem.
In the past the only way to fix issues with music, song indexing or playlists has been to take it off the sync in iTunes, let the phone delete it all, then re-add it and wait several hours for the sync to complete. Annoying, but it usually works.
In my case it's an overnight job (30+GB of music converted to 192AAC on the fly).

Events and Projects not opening after Restoring from broken Hard drive.

Hi all!
I have a major problem. After almost 3 months editing 6 projects within the same library the hard drive died. These projects are for a very important client and are worth a lot of time and money. We always backup all the raw material on 3 hard drives so we do have all the raw material, however FCPX for some reason had stopped making backups of the projects after it was updated to 10.1.2. (The loss of these projects could mean the downfall of my production company.) We had a professional data recovery company recover all the data to a new hard drive without any problem, we can see the libraries and open them, HOWEVER the events and projects within the libraries DO NOT OPEN OR SHOW UP.
I have entered into the library in the finder and everything seems to be there, all the events files show up. But FCPX wont recognize them.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks, Tom
You can see here that everything is inside the library folder.
But they don't show up in FCPX.
P.S
Also this file is showing up only after the data was restored.

The journal files are something that've been generated by the data recovery. It's completely hosed the data base.
I don't know if this will work. Try carefully removing all the journal files. Put them somewhere else in folders with the location where they came from. Also move out the currentversion.flexolibrary file. Hopefully without the flexolibrary file the application will generate a new one. Then launch the application.
WHy did you continue to operate when there were no backups, without even a hard drive backup?
Wwhat version of the software are you using? 10.1.2?

IPod and iTunes not syncing after restoring library on new computer

Recently, my computer crashed. Lost everything. I was finally able to restore my music on my laptop to iTunes. However, now when I upload new music from the store, it saves it on my library, but will not sync to my iPod, even when I manually try to sync it.
Help!!!

Since the computer crash, have you re-authorized it?

GarageBand and iMovie not installing after restore

Hello,
I have an iPad 2, it had GarageBand and iMovie installed before iOS 5.1 no problems.
I updated to iOS 5.1 and it was all fine...2 days later I am listening to a podcast and suddenly the audio cut out. I tried playing music and video and still nothing! So I tried all the obvious stuff restarting etc and eventually had to run a full restore from my backup.
This finally worked and my audio is back but now iTunes will not install iMovie or GarageBand despite the fact I own them and I have the latest iOS. If I go to iTunes on iPad and lookup the software it come up with the cost instead of the expected "install" option.
I would also confirm I had already had everything synced correctly.
Any suggestions? I don't fancy another 2 hours restoring my iPad again!

Sometimes when you update the software, the settings seem to go a little wacky and simple things like restarts, resets, and signing in and out of your ID can cure so many little issues. When I've updated in the past, I have had little issues that could not be logically explained - at least in my mind. So I start with the simple stuff.
I'm glad that you were able to download and install the apps again.

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.

Thumbnails do not display after using rebuild tool

I am using OSX 10.7.5, and iPhoto 8.1.2.
recently I made a back up copy of my files.
I then reinstalled my operating system.
I then copied my iphoto library back onto my computer.
imported my iPhoto library into iPhoto
Pictures are in iPhoto.
Thumbnails do not display.
I have used the rebuild tools provided by iPhoto.
Still no thumbnails displaying.
any other ideas?

It relates to your suggestion in that, the reason I posted was to solve a thumbnail issue.
"re: Thumbnails do not display after using rebuild tool"
Terence suggested reloading my back up library.
I asked Terence where I should import to.
I was thinking that my thumbnail issue was related to the way I imported my back up.
You clarified where to import the library...
I tried it and I still have no thumbnails
I have already tried repairing permissions and rebuilding thumbnails using the i photo repair tool.
can you help me?

Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic. I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic. I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

Leonie,
Fisrt let me thank you for your reply and assistance! So here is the problem with so more detail...I was not sure I was going to get any replies ; )
I restored from a time machine back up.
History of Failure:
I was trying to launch Aperture when the kernal panic occured. My computer had been closed, and asleep and the battery was dead. I plugged in charger and it was restoring/waking up after being asleep/shutting down from dead battery. I launched Aperture from the dock and as soon as it opened the kernal panic occured. After that the computer would not turn on. It would try to boot then it would shut off. I even tried to safe boot to no avail. I went to the Apple store and they told me that the only thing I could do was restore whole computer from back up. So thats what I did.
Since then my previous aperture library: "2011" will not open. I have created a new aperture library "2012", and it runs fine. I have added new photos for about the past month...no problems.
When I launch aperture with 2012 library then try to switch libraries, I get the following prompt: "The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch." I choose "Relaunch" and I get the following warning prompt: "There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library 20111.aplibrary”." The only option is "Quit"
Both libraries are version 3.2.3
Computer stats: 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.6.8
I have tried to launch aperture troubleshooting by holding option+command from both the aperture icon and from the library file, neither will launch the troubleshooting feature.
I am ok with computers, but not a whiz (mechanical engineer)...to me it seems as though there is a corrupt path or file or some sort of "check" that is failing, becuase the failure occurs so fast after trying to launch aperture. Maybe that doesn't make any sense but just a thought.
I hope that you may be able to provide some insight. Thank you again for you time and I hope that you have a nice day!
Mike
