IPhoto thumbnails disappear - missing photos

iPhoto crashed a few days ago, and I had to rebuild the library. After this was done, my events were all out of order but the photos were still in tact. However, there were about 100 photos in one event that were missing. They were represented by black squares. The thumbnails would show for an instant while I was scrolling through the event, but then the thumbnails would disappear and turn black. When I selected a photo, it showed a black exclamation warning sign.
I back up to Time Machine, so I tried to restore my iPhoto library from an older backup. Those same 100 photos seem to be corrupt in every single backup since the photos were taken. To make it even harder for me to understand, I actually viewed these 100 photos in iPhoto last week and they were fine, so I know they haven't been corrupt since they were imported to iPhoto.
Are these photos recoverable?

The exclamation mark is an indication that the link/file path between the thumbnail and the master photo has been broken. Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - apply Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Iphoto thumbnails disappear with each reboot

    My iPhoto thumbnails disappear any time I reboot or log out of iPhoto.
    I use the rebuild command and get them back, but they don't  stay.
    Is this a problem with iPhoto or the address where the thumbnails are stored?

    My iPhoto library is in the correct location on my laptop hard drive.
    This all started with editing photos.
    I backed up to time machine, then deleted @350 photos from a recent download.
    iPhoto froze up with this, and I did a force quit.
    Re opening iPhoto came back with all black thumbnails.
    I option-command opened iPhoto and rebuilt the data, and the thumbnails.
    The photos are there, but every time I log out of iPhoto, the thumbnails are gone again, and I have to rebuild.
    So...  I restored from a journaled copy of iPhoto photos, from time machine.  The problem persisted.
    To restore however I had to move my iPhoto library (30 Gigs)  to an external hard drive because I did not have enough
    room on my hard drive to restore from time machine.
    The data is all there, but the thumbnails just won't  persist. 
    I think it is haunted.
    thanks

  • Missing Thumbnails and Missing Photos

    **** iLife!!
    I updated iphoto to 6.02, and now I'm getting blank spaces for a bunch of photos in the thumbnail section, and I'm getting the empty grey square with the exclamation point in regular sized photos.
    Everything was just fine before the upgrade.
    HELP!!!

    Yes, ditto. I have same problem as Ted if not worse with iPhoto 6.02. There must be 10000s of us out there which means that someone must have figured out a solution by now. Please!
    I followed Niantic's instructions but nada. I also updated my OS and followed the link to the Apple com article on images with !s but Show file got no response nor did show original file etc.
    Before I rebuilt the library I could click on some (but not all) the blank thumbnails and see the whole photo, but now all the blanks remain blank with the ! in the middle.
    Checking the missing photos I noticed two things that might help. First, a great wodge disappeared from those taken between July and September 2005. Although some were still showing.
    Of the other that went missing it seemed pretty random with a few here and there from the beginning of my library (2002) onwards.
    Also a bunch of photos I gave names to so I could identify them easily in the iPhoto library folders got jumbled in the library so they are now out of sync with when they were taken.
    Also some photos have renumbered themselves so 015_13 has duplicated itself as 015_12
    Also the dates are wrong (this must be pretty easy to fix), so for example photos I took in March 2006 say Jan 2005
    Also when I examine the file directory on iPhoto library none of the dates correspond to when I took them (one strand starts 1970) and many of the subfolders are empty (so I cant quite understand how they came to be created).
    Finally, yes I do have backups though I am not looking forward to the hours it will eventually take identifying all the missing photos by number and then reimporting one or several at a time.
    I already tried to do this with several different photos and each time it read: "Unreadable file: the following file could not be imported: users/etc/etc/IMG_xxxx.jpg (The file is in the iPhoto library folder). Please could someone translate what this means!
    Please excuse the length of this posting but I figured the more info I give the more likely there might be a clue for some bright spark to figure out what the xxxx is going on. Like Ted, my digital photo life was simple and peaceful until iLife 6 came along.
    I suspect that messy file management that was tolerated in my earlier version is no longer tolerated by this new version. Whatever the reason i am completely stumped. Over to you, Sherlock…

  • Iphoto 08 has missing photos and wheel of death

    Bought new imac and upgraded to iLife 08. Upgraded my photo library of some 4000 photos all looked fine at first.
    Noticed that in the middle of the photo library are about 20 or so missing photos they display as dashed grey squares. If you scroll so you have these thumbnails on the screen or open an event with these photos in you get the wheel of death and you either have to force quit iphoto or wait for ever to quit iphoto.
    I have rebuilt the photo library and used the batchmod tool as described on another post. I have also searched for and removed alias links etc.
    Now at a loss as to next move. I have the photos on my old laptop running previous iphoto version plus a few older DVD backups.
    Is it anything to do with my old photo ipod?
    I could just delete the iphoto library and start over importing from scratch but what if it happens again? Any advice?

    It means that your main Library has a damaged database file.
    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, faces and places 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.

  • My iphoto has disappeared and photo library

    I have been looking at similiar problems but nothing seems to be exactly like my problem.  My iphoto has disappeared from my doc.  There is no "iphoto" in the applications.  When i go to my iphoto library I get this message. "There is no application set to open the document "iphoto Library".  I do not have back-up for photos.  I do not want to lose them if at all possible.  I do have my start up disks for my computer.
    HELP! 

    Well put in the applications install Disc.   Received this message:
    "The installation failed."  An unkown installation error occurred.
    The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.
    Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    I tried this several time and have come up with the same message each time.! 

  • IPhoto thumbnails are missing

    A few hours ago I imported a new movie into iMovie. Something went wrong and now all of my iMovie thumbnails are missing from iPhoto in the event area. The only movies I see are ones I imported, nothing from iPhoto is showing anymore. When I click on the camera icon and go to the folder where my movies are in iPhoto nothing shows up. And for some reason my movie is stalling now when I play it where as before it was playing smoothly, well the movie I have so far.
    I have tried to delete the iMovie cache file, it took 3 hours to rebuild my thumbnails and they were still not there. I deleted the new files I imported into iPhoto and emptied the trash. Any idea how to fix it? I don't really need all the old thumbnails back as long as I can reinsert them and it doesn't look like iMovie can see them anymore. I wouldn't even care about that if my current movie wasn't stalling, I can hear the sound but the picture pauses. Anyone?

    Hi
    Just thinking - Have You tested to turn off Your Mac and re-boot from zero ?
    In many cases this helps - might do so now too.

  • Project in iPhoto library is missing photos

    I am using an iphoto library for photos in both iphoto and Aperture 3.5. My O/S is Mavericks on a MBP Retina laptop.
    Sometime after a recent upgrade--not sure it was the Mavericks, iphoto, or Aperture--I noticed that I was unable to edit picture in one of my favorite events/projects. This was a collection of JPEG and RAW files in PEF (Pentax) format. The thumbnails and metadata are present but the photos are missing.
    I have already tried all of the options available in rebuilding the iphoto library using the option/command keys with no success.
    Any help appreciated!

    First of all, try to save at least the previews by dragging the thumbnails from the aperture Browser window to a folder on your Desktop.
    Then check, if the original image files are really missing from the library, or Aperture only has lost the connection between thumbnails and original image files.
    Select your Aperture lbrary in the Finder and ctrl-click it. Select the option "Show package contents". In the window that will open, select and open the folder "Masters". open the subfolder of the year > month > day you imported the project to Aperture. Are the original images still there?

  • Iphoto thumbnails not matching photos

    Just back from a trip and uploaded all our photos, and thought they were all out of order when looking at the thumbnails, but when I click on a thumbnail, it’s actually a different photo completely. HELP!     Don’t want to lose all our photos, what’s going on? anyone else have this issue? How do I correct?

    Do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #2, Rebuild Thumbnails.  It can take more than one attempt to get the job done.

  • My iPhoto thumbnails are trashed photos...

    ... and yet when opened, produce the larger version of photos - in order - not trashed at all.
    Apologies if this is repeated anywhere; I'm quite ignorant and tend not to fiddle with things hidden (like directories), but I'm at a loss as to what to do.
    Out of the 7000+ photos I kept on my MBP up to last week, I trashed about 4000 and this is what has happened.  Photo Browser looks fine when emailing, with everything where it should be, but iPhoto (version 8.1.2) presents the first 200-odd thumbnails as photos and movies I thought I'd gotten rid of and, when clicked upon, the photos I kept are 'underneath'.
    It's time for me to clear this machine out and reload what I need, but I'm a little wary of starting this and maybe losing the vital photos.
    Could anyone offer me a reason?  A solution?  (In really easy-to-follow steps?)
    Thanks, 
    Louise

    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

  • Iphoto not responding - Missing photos

  • IPhoto Trash is missing photos

    I recently realized I needed a photo which I had deleted. I went to the iPhoto trash and it wasnt there. I thought it was strange so I deleted a couple more just to check it out. When I deleted them, the item count in the trash increased, but the photos were not there. There are photos in the trash but they are old and from some time ago. Does anyone know why the recent deletions arent visible or there?

    You are looking in the Trash bin which is in iPhoto and not the Dock, right?
    Backup the library and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Then try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • When I upgraded my iPhoto thumbnails, my photos disappeared.  How can I recover them?  I have iPhoto '08.

    When I upgraded my iPhoto thumbnails, my photos disappeared.  How do I recover them?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • IPhoto 6 solution to missing photos in edit/book view when thumbnail shows

    Hi all, since this seems to be quite wide spread with iPhoto 6 users, I thought I'd make sure that you all get the solution that seems to work for the following:
    Problem: iPhoto 6 does not open your photo for editting but you can still see it's thumbnail, or the photo is not shown in a book but it does show its thumbnail.
    Cause: at this stage, I don't know for certain but I have a feeling it is to do with other applications changing the default opening app for images (perhaps Adobe software).
    Solution:
    1) In Finder, click File, New Smart folder and set the following options:
    Folder 'iPhoto Library', Kind: Images, Size: Greater than 100KB
    2) Then, when search has found all your images, select them all and press the 'Get Info' button.
    3) Select 'Open with' and change it to 'Preview'. This may take a while if you have a lot of photos but let it finish.
    4) Then click 'Change All...' and select yes.
    That's it. Now open iPhoto and it should all work ok.(hopefully!).

    I did that a couple of days ago. But after I while the problem re-appeared. I used Photoshop for editing, so probably that is one of the issues.
    So after several times of trying this solution, I decided to go the hard way and export the corrupted files to the desktops, delete them from iphoto, and re-import them back. That seems to do the job...Frustrating, I know, but so far effective

  • Missing iPhoto Thumbnail Images in iMovie Project Library

    Okay, here goes...
    I'd created a short movie and have it in iMovie's project library. The movie included video footage from a dv camera as well as video from my digital photo camera. I recently reorganized and merged several events folders in iPhoto from my vacation, which included parts of the video used in the iMovie short movie project. Now, when I select the project in iMovie, some of the thumbnails are missing from the video sequence to the right of the project name.
    It still plays (thankfully), but it's irritating me that I cannot figure out why the thumbnails have disappeared.
    Does it have something to do with merging iPhoto files? If so, or even if not, how do I fix this and have the thumbnails reappear?

    Something similar is happening to me. I created a project a couple of months ago in iMovie '08, and now the "upper window" thumbnails are showing with an exclamation mark - but just the video clips! The photos are still there. You can see the thumbnail with the exclamation mark and when you drag the cursor through it to see it play, it only does in the little damaged thumbnail but not in the screen. After touching it, it becomes black. It does not play at all when the project is played completely. I someone finds out how to solve this, please advise.
    Thanks so much.
