Iphoto wont show my photos

When I try to upload photos to my blog or on facebook, it just says Loading iPhoto images.... on the upload window and just stays that way.  I have never had problems before until I was in iPhoto and tried to close it and a small window came up saying 'iPhoto is saving critical information for your photo library but It dosn't go away, just stays there until I click 'later'. Please help. (I added screenshots to help)
I have a Mackbook - Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and iPhoto is version 8.1.2

It won't work that way as you have discovered.
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Launch iTunes then select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
Now select Photos from the manu.
Importing photos can be done using iPhoto but not PhotoBooth.

  • Iphoto wont show all photos of an album on top?

    Absolutely new to mac, so bear with me, still learning basics of keyboard and mouse!!
    When i open iphoto and select an album (all imported from pc via network or thru usb drive, none thru camera) only first photo shows and the film strip does not show on top. So, when want to select photos for, say, slide show or book etc, can not do it. On edit screen, all show on top as a film strip, but can not transfer them to slide show, or book etc. What to do?
    Thanks in anticipation.

    The general rule of thumb is that where you would use Control on a PC, you use Command (the Apple key) on a Mac. To select discontinuous items use Command-click. To select a continuous range of items you can Shift-click on the endpoints, and all items included will become selected.
    To better become acquainted with your Mac and OS 10.4, try the Mac 101 courses. Or follow the link on that page to the Switch 101 course designed for users moving from PC to Mac. There is a lot of good information there.

  • During import Aperature wont show all photos on memory card.

    During import Aperature wont show all photos on memory card. Typically loads the previews of the first 15 photos only showing "loading assets" and spinning wheel. Running Aperature 3.2.3 on MBP 2.16 core duo 2gb ram importing from a SD card reader contining approx 300 nikon d3100 NEF files. Created a new user account and new library with same results.

    Could be the card.  Transfer the files to your HD using Finder, and then import into Aperture.  All OK?
    Then reformat your card in your camera, and see if the problem recurs.  Also: does it happen with other cards?  Does it happen with the card in the camera (instead of in your card reader)?

  • Time Machine backup of external iPhoto library shows recent photos only as outline, no image. Any suggestions?

    The Time Machine backup of my external iPhoto library shows all pictures 'now' but previous backups show the most recent pictures only as box outlines, some with a curled corner. How can I see all pictures to make sure TM has them? And if I would need to restore photos from TM can I do this one picture at a time or only the whole library? If I upgrade to iPhoto 11, a more recent OS, or both, do the answers to any of these questions change?
    Many thanks!

    You can not use the iPhoto library while it is a TM backup - you must restore it to use it - and you must restore it all

  • IPhoto 11 "Show Extended Photo Info" item under "Photos"

    In my iPhoto 11, under Photos in the menu bar, the first item is "Adjust Date and Time".
    I do NOT see "Show Extended Photo Info".
    How do I make this menu item appear?

    You should post in -> Forum : Installing and using iPhoto '11.
    How do I make this menu item appear?
    You don't.
    Click the little white i at the lower right of the photo to see the photo info.

  • Iphoto not showing imported photos in events

    I have been using iphoto for quite a while with very few problems.  Recently I have added an iPhone and an apple TV into my apple ecosystem.  I have recently noticed that my iphoto library is NOT showing photos imported from 3rd party sources such as my android phone, in the events section of the interface.  The photos ARE present in the 'photos' section which leads me to believe that they are IN the library.  But when i look at the events and select one say for 3/24 it will only display the photos taken from my wifes iphone and NOT the ones taken from my andriod and imported using the add to library function.  I have attempted all four options in the command-option iphoto startup and have gotten no where. 
    Many of you might that that this is a non issue as the photos are present in the 'photo' section.  but as i prefer to use the fullscreen mode in iphoto i do not have access to the 'photos' tab in full screen, only the 'events'. 
    could my appletv or iPhone or appletv be a contributing factor?  Is there an option in events to only display iPhone imported photos? 
    Any help would be appricaited I am pulling my hair out here.

    1 - Photos and events are simply two different views of the same photos - your iPhoto library - so any photo that is in one is always also in the other - you are just looking in the wrong place
    2 - the most common issue is incorrect dates on photos so you look in the wrong location for the event - in the photos view right click on one of the photos that you are not seeing in an event and show event
    3 - another possiblity is the sort order of the events - verify it under the view menu ==> sort events
    4 - No - it is not your Apple TV nor is it your iPhone

  • Iphoto wont save imported photos from iphone

    Iphoto will import iphone photos, but as soon as iphoto is closed the photos are not saved to iphoto. Therefore I cannot download my photos off my iphone to iphoto. How do I get iphoto to keep the pics I import from my iphone?

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
    And OS X 10.6.8 is an OS - it is not a version of iPhoto - you version of iPhoto is something like 9.x.x or 8.x.x

  • Time changes made in iPhoto not showing in Photos

         I've scanned a lot of physical family photos from when I was a child into iPhoto and changed the dates so they show in iPhoto on the correct day. So Xmas day 2000 showed up on 25 December 2000 as you would expect.
    Since importing into the new Photos App these correct dates haven't copied. Instead showing the date they where scanned.
    Is their a way to fix this or do I need to manually find all these pictures and manually adjust each one to the correct time?

    Haven't had the problem.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Iphoto wont show my pictures in large format

    my pictures will not expand large it just shows a "!" with a circle around it and it does on all my photos, it was working fine and then i lent my comp to a friend and now i have this problem please help

    iPhoto cannot find the master files. Only the small thumbnails are available. There are two likely things that happened depending on how you store your images in the library.
    1. If you store your images inside the iPhoto library file (this is the default method), then your friend opened up the library package and moved or deleted or renamed the master images. You need to find out what he/she did in order to attempt to fix it. If the files were deleted, you'll need to find a backup to restore them. You do have a backup, don't you?
    2. If you store your images outside the iPhoto library file, then those images were moved or deleted or renamed. Or maybe the enclosing folders were renamed.

  • Auto update iPhoto to show aperture photos

    I shoot in raw and use aperture to manage all my files. I have iLife 09 also and like the faces and places functions.
    Is there any way of being able to open iPhoto and it automatically pulls all changes from my aperture library including any new imports? Ideally I'd like each aperture project as an event in iPhoto.
    I know how to show my aperture library but that involves importing new events manually and I've heard there has been issues of iphoto not bringing metadata in with the photos, which would be vital as I geotag my photos before bringing them into aperture.
    Regards

    The problem is when you use the File -> Show Aperture Library command in iPhoto you’re not accessing the files only their Aperture previews.
    The only way to do this is to export from Aperture - writing the metadata to the files along the way - then import into iPhoto.
    There is some automation possible - if you can export to a Folder on the desktop then you can set an app like Hazel to watch that folder, and, on noting changes to automatically import to iPhoto (and trash afterwards).
    My own take: Don’t bother. It never occurred to the developers of Aperture that it would have a wide usage outside the Pro setting. It never occurred to them that folks would want two-way communication between Aperture and iPhoto. My guess is that Places will be added to Aperture in the near future.

  • Iphoto events show no photos

    Lately, when I double - clicked "Events" of each folder, I saw no photos inside the window; only saw "No Photos" on the top right corner.  I have tried rebuilding thumbnails and data.  No luck.  The fact is when I clicked "Photos", or albums, all photos were shown up accordingly.  Even, when I open iWeb, "Events" of iPhoto in the Media column show all the photos.  Wonder if this is the bug of iPhoto '11 (ver. 9.4.2.)  Any clues from the community?

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • Iphoto events show fewer photo's than actually in event

    On the event's page, when hovering over the Event Name, the photo count differs from the actual number of photo's in the event.  Also, some events show a palm tree instead of a thumbnail of one of the photo's in the event.

    I rebuilt the iphoto database and that solved the probem. 

  • IPhoto not showing all photos

    I have iPhoto '11 v 9.4.3.  Some time ago I noticed that certain events in the event view were showing up with zero photos in the event, with a gray palm tree sunset as the key photo of that event.  When I go to import pictures from my camera, iPhoto reports that photos in the camera are duplicates of photos already imported, but it shows a blank for the imported photo.  Since iPhoto seems to know they are there, I don't re-import. When I go to the Finder and look for the "missing" photos, they are there in the iPhoto Library (under Masters).  So, my question is, why does iPhoto know they are there but can't show them?  And how do I fix it?  And BTW, they have not been made hidden in iPhoto.

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

  • IPhoto '08 shows all photos, but can't locate images in Finder

    I just bought a MacBook and did an "Import to Library" from my backup external drive. All photos now appear in iPhoto including some that I just imported last night from my camera. The only problem is, I can't find the folder that actually contains all of the pictures. When I click on "Pictures" in my home folder then the iPhoto icon, iPhoto opens. Where is the folder with the actual images?

    dave-m:
    The photos are in the iPhoto LIbrary package in the Pictures file. SeeTD's treatis on file access. It describes three ways to access the image files.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
