IPhoto thumbnails are blank, but maximized photo shows up.

I had to power of my iMac while iPhoto was uploading some photographs. When I turned it back on, iPhoto prompted me to restore the library. I said yes. Now the thumbnails aren't appearing, and when you double click a photo to maximize it, it briefly shows up with the grey yeild "!" icon and then the photo shows up, but the thumbnails are still grey. Is there a fix for this?

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #2, Rebuild Thumbnails. It could take more than one pass to get the job done.

It's says that file does not exist. How come? And why does it still show the image info.?
Where can i find those files (i have a daily backup)
The original image files are missing form your iPhoto library or iPhoto cannot find them, because the link to the originals has been broken. The image info is stored in the internal libraries, independent of the original files. That is, why you are still seeing them.
I restored the whole library from my backup.
Try restoring from an older backup, from before you first noticed the problem.
How large is the library, that you restored? Is the file size large enough to hold all your photos, or has the size been reduced? If the library is still large, the photos may still be inside, even if iPhoto cannot find them.
It's says that file does not exist. How come?
What happened, before your iPhoto library got deleted? Which applications have you been running, or which new software have installed or upgraded? Have you moved the library to a different disk or tried to use it from different user account or access it over the network?

In my iPhoto library, only some images appear as thumbnails. The rest are blank but appear briefly when scrolling through or properly when double clicked. Any ideas?

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. .

After importing photos from a digital camera the thumbnails are blank.

I purchased a new iMac a few months ago and had no problem with transferring (and viewing) my iPhoto library onto the new computer. However, now when I import photos from my iPhone or camera, the thumbnails are blanks (with little dotted lines around them). In order to view the picture I must double-click on the image. This makes it a difficult to locate photos! Help me please.

I just got the iPod Classic and I don't see anywhere in the manual that I can still do this. Is it still possible to import my photos from the camera to the iPod?
No, the new iPods do not have a camera adaptor able to do this. Why Apple have decided not to make a suitable adaptor available (the old one won't work with the Classic), I have no idea.

Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank. The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums. What happened and how do I recover them all? Are they in my icloud? Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blur

Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank. The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums. What happened and how do I recover them all? Are they in my icloud? Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry. what gives? They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad?? Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that? When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc.

Reboot. Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

There is no list of authorized computers. Where do you see a list?
You must be talking about something other than authorization. Please clarify.

Movie thumbnails are blank on webpage but play okay

I am using iWeb 08 and am very pleased except for one thing. My movie thumbnails are blank. They have a little icon in the corner and they play okay but there is no picture (except on one of them)
Here's the link: http://web.mac.com/dregerfamily/Site/HomeMovies/HomeMovies.html
I have tried deleting them, making a new page, etc but still nothing. Please help.
Thanks!

Thanks! I realized the thumbnail was black because almost all of my movies started with a black screen. Your suggestion was perfect!!
One thing though, it seems like the movies load slower now. Could that have had any effect or am I just imagining it?
Thanks again.

Iphoto thumbnails open blank with second user

We have a two user macbook pro. When we load new photos onto iphoto on one 'side' the photos load fine and can be seen by that user. When we switch sides to the other user the thumbnails are there but they open blank. This seems to be a new problem. The thumbnails always open fine with the user that loads the photos, but not with the other user.
Both users are using the same iphoto library.
Any ideas, do I have a setting wrong somewhere ????

Thanks Terence,
I have found by right clicking on the photos the problem is permissions. If I rebuild as you say I think it will temporarily fix the problem as I have done this before and it does. As it starts to rebuild it asks to fix the permissions and voila its fixed though it does go through the process. My problem is that I need to rebuild every time I upload photos.
When one user uploads the photos it seems to create a folder in the iphoto library but the permissions within that particular date folder are allocated to that user rather than all users. I have the library in the shared user account and the permissions I have set for the iphoto library as everyone read write access. How do I get it to upload and give permission to all users when it does. Is there a setting somewhere?
Thanks

Showing "0" photos in a library folder. But the photos show in that same folder explore.

Hi Everyone - Showing "0" photos in a library folder. But the photos show in that same folder explore. I have LR 5.6 set to "Show photos in Subfolder". I have filters off. There are 380 photos that I spent several days editing. I have been building a book online for the past several days and have been uploading the photos with no problem. I have been going back into this folder in the library to pick what I want to use with no problem until today. The folder shows in the "Folder" section of the Library but it shows "0" photos are in the folder. When I open that same folder in explore all of the photos are there. I have changed nothing since working on this project yesterday. I have rebooted my system and that did not help. Any suggestions to make these photos show up again in the Library would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Toby

Thanks for the fast reply dj_paige! I had already searched for the photos prior to my post and found the photos neatly tucked away in the folder that was showing "0" photos. But could not view them in LR. I should have mentioned that in my previous post. I also tried synchronizing the folder after I rebooted this morning to no avail. Now the strange thing - I just clicked on synchronize folder once again and it replaced the photos into the folder and I can now see them in LR once again. I can't explain why that did not work earlier but am glad it worked just now. Thanks again for your reply!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

I also got Motion and can't figure out how to use it with Final Cut Pro X. Any help woud be great. Thanks

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

I purchased iPhoto after installing Yosemite, but App store shows the download is "waiting"

I purchased iPhoto after installing Yosemite, but App store shows the download is "waiting", with a greyed out box that says pause.

Hi exyankee,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, an app is stuck on waiting. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Mobil photos album in Photoshop Elements 12 show up in Revel albums with titles but are blank. No photos!

I am using Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer for Mac. I have moved several local albums to the mobil albums area in the left panel of the Org
anizer screen. I am signed in to Revel. The albums with titles show up in Revel, but they are empty. None of the photos show up. I can see the photos in the library section of Revel, but not in the album view. Also, when I try to share the albums with Album Web Share, the link that is generated takes me to the album webpage where I see a message "There are no photos or videos in this album".
Why are the albums coming up blank! What have I down wrong?? I can see the photos in the albums in the Photoshop Organizer window, but nothing in the Revel albums.
