Key Photos missing for a third of my library

In events view, each event is supposed to have a key photo. Most of my library does, but part of the library (all events with dates between Jan 2007 and November 2007) does not have any key photos. These events are not different from other events (they all have normal JPEG photos, etc.). If I try to set a key photo, the event is still blank in events view.
Any ideas?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails:
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.
To back up: Copy the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder to another disk to back it up. You can use an app such as DejaVu or Chronosync to do incremental back ups of the Library. There are many other options: search on MacUpdate.

Key photo missing after iPhoto froze

My iphoto froze while I was organizing photos. I had to force quit. When I opened it back up about 10 key photos were missing and I couldn't get them to show up.

You could try this:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Key Photo in Albums

Anyone figure out how to set the key photo when using Albums in iWeb? It appears to be very similar to the iPhoto web gallery, however I can not seem to figure out how to do it.

The first photo in the photo gallery is the key photo.
For the person that had the freeze up scrolling: you can turn of the effects and just have one photo show up as the album thumbnail.
I spent about 5 hours working in iWeb '08 replacing my home grown "album" type pages with Apple's new version. I have need for 8 album pages which theh have 6 to 8 photogalleries linked to them. I was in the process of moving the photos I wanted to be the key photo into the first slot when I saved out the file. The next day when I opened my file all of the album pages showed the thumbnails for a second or so and then they turn black. Some of the photos pages and blog pages are missing their photos as well. I am not happy. Fortunately I do have a back up Domain and a copy of iWeb '06 on another machine. But I don't appreciate working away for 5 hours, saving and then having nothing to show for it.

After a rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for RAW images.

Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day. This time was different though - after the rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for all RAW images (Canon). Images from other cameras and jpegs are all fine. Only the events with Canon RAW images have no thumbnails.
I am rebuilding the thumbnails once again but has anyone else seen this issue? Losing thumbnails to RAW images during a rebuild?

Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day.
There is no need to do this. It doesn't achieve anything.
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. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Reverse posting key specification is missing for posting key 80

A FI document was wrongly posted with posting key "80" instead of 40. And now we are not able to reverse it. System is giving following error --
"Reverse posting key specification is missing for posting key 80"
Document posted as
50     207200     CASH - MAIN-O.H.     762.00-
40     410120     CONVEYANCE EXPENSES     702.00
<b>80     402440     STAFF WELFARE EXPENS     60.00</b>
Please suggest
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Go to OB41, select the posting key 80 and in the third tab "Other attributes" mention Reversal Posting key. Like you can observe for posting key 40, reversal key 50 would have been assigned.
Pl assign points, if helpful.

Photos Not Syncing; Photos Missing From Albums, No Error Message, Running iTunes for Windows & iOS 7.1.2

I am having an issue with syncing my photos on my iOS devices running iOS 7.1.2, the two being an iPhone 4s and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G.
When I sync photos, I keep on having photos turn up missing from entire albums. I have tried everything I can to resolve this issue from the support article titled <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697">iTunes: Unable to sync photos</a>, and nothing has successfully worked in any kind of permanent form. I have even gone so far as to sync albums individually with a limit of around 400-500 total photos per sync, (give or take), and tried using what very little options I have on the photos tab for my devices in iTunes to essentially trick the devices to sync the missing photos. Despite this, iTunes still fails to sync newly added photos from the source location.
I have even made the attempt of re-installing iOS 7 on both devices, and restoring from backup. Again with no avail.
My best guess for my iPhone is that as it is a 16 GB, not all of 15.6 GB of photos will sync to the device, (go figure), but that doesn't explain why recent photos aren't added OR why my iPad 2 of 64 GB has missing photos.
As of this post, I have an estimated 38,940 files, spread across 1,703 folders, (a large amount of folders being in some of the folders; from my knowledge never being more than two folders in). They are all in one dedicated folder on a hard drive I've dedicated to iTunes and music related files, (for the sake of AVOIDING this kind of nonsense, I might add).
As for the system OS and iTunes, I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and I am using iTunes 11.2.2.3, but will have updated to iTunes 11.3 by the time anyone responds.

I have the exact same problem.
Same kind of photos/videos taken with the same camera randomly sync.
Did 11.3 fix this issue?
Sincerely

Iphoto - key photo won't set for an event on my iPad

I have placed my photos into "Events". I have assigned a "key photo" to my events. For some reason some key photos will show up as the key photo in iPhoto but when I sync with iTunes the key photo isn't the one I assigned or want on my iPad. First I rebooted my Mac and my iPad and I even changed almost all the key photos successfully but a select few refuse to change on my iPad after being synced.
The key photo for one of the events WAS NEVER set as a key photo.
Very frustrated with my Mac products lately.
Thank you,
Terry
IOS 10.9.3

One for the iPad forum, I think. iPhoto for Mac has no control over what happens on the iPad.

Index is missing for a specific Primary key.

Hi All,
Index is missing for a specific Primary key but for other PKs index is available (verified in metadata, USER_INDEXES).
Status of problematic PK is enabled. This issue is only in one environment and other envs index is associated with this PK without any issue.
Could you please advice, what could the possible reason?
Regards,
Narasimha.

What other indexes are on your table? You do not need a unique index to enforce a primary key:
> create table bc (col1 number, col2 number);
Table created.
> create index bc_ix on bc (col1, col2);
Index created.
> alter table bc add constraint bc_pk primary key (col1) using index bc_ix;
Table altered.
> create unique index bc_pk on bc (col1);
Index created.
> select index_name, uniqueness from user_indexes where table_name = 'BC';
INDEX_NAME                     UNIQUENES
BC_IX                          NONUNIQUE
BC_PK                          UNIQUE
> select constraint_name, constraint_type from user_constraints where table_name = 'BC';
CONSTRAINT_NAME                C
BC_PK                          P
> drop index bc_pk;
Index dropped.
> select index_name, uniqueness from user_indexes where table_name = 'BC';
INDEX_NAME                     UNIQUENES
BC_IX                          NONUNIQUE
> select constraint_name, constraint_type, index_name from user_constraints where table_name = 'BC';
CONSTRAINT_NAME                C INDEX_NAME
BC_PK                          P BC_IX

Choose key photo for album

Dear Common Wisdom:
I have created a web site of photo galleries with an index page at http://www.byzantineaegina.org
How can I choose a key photo to represent each gallery on the first page?
Thanks!
CJ

you can set key image for albums page, as long as the image is one of the first of 50 images in the album (aka photos page) and you need to know how iweb widgets work.
have a look: http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/revolving/keyImageAlbums/keyImageAlbums.html
notice the displayed image is the 4th image in the album, not the first image.

Missing Event key photos and photo count

This is a question regarding the Library Events folder with the list of all events. I have approximately 560 events and 24,000 photos. The problem is with only 32 events within a date rangeof four months from Feb thru June of this year that contained 41 events. 9 of the events scattered throughout that date range work normally. I can't identify a common denominator for either of the groups that work or those that don't. I can't think of any difference in the way I imported them or any other reason why some within that range don't work properly and some do. For some reason the last 8 events over the last 6 weeks have worked perfectly. I'm pretty sure the problematic events had shown perfectly for a while and that suddenly one day this situation started even for some events that already had been working fine.
The problem with the 32 events is two key characteristics, there is not a key photo for the event whether one is assigned specifically or one chosen by the program - just a generic black and white ghost image icon with a palm tree and sunset. The other issue is when hovering over the event icon and when it would usually list the number of photos within the event - in these 32 groups it shows only 0 (zero) but when I go into the event all of the photos are there - whether it's 1 photo or 100. I am able to assign titles to the events as normal.
Here are some things I have been told but have no idea as to the accuracy and thought I would put this question out to the experts before I did anything. One thing I had been told that was that iPhoto isn't equipped to hold this large a number of photos and to switch to Aperture but today I read something within Apple that says Aperture uses the same library as iPhoto.
Someone else had mentioned reindexing the library but I'm not sure whether to attempt that and what that means. I read in another forum and it was unclear if that would be a suitable course of action for me but that was a question someone posed regarding an ios device so it really wouldn't apply to me directly:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5123493?start=0&tstart=0
It occurs to me as I write this that perhaps I could just export these events of photos and then re-import them again.
I'm sorry this is so long. I'm trying to be thorough. After years of looking through forums for answers to questions that have boggled my mind - this is the first time I've ever posted a question. Please be gentle. Thanks!

That is as you note incorrect - the current versions of iPhoto and Aperture do use the same exact library structure and can open and modify each other's libraries - the current limitation on an iPhoto library is !,000,000 photos (I have not personally verified that)
It occurs to me as I write this that perhaps I could just export these events of photos and then re-import them again.
No - that would not improve anything and would lose data
What you need to do it backup your iPHoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your thrumbnails - which may take several tries - if this does not resolve things rebuild the library

Provision account key missing for condition type ZPFV in schema ZUELOC

Hi
We have defined the condition type ZPFV for freight value & mentioning the same while creating po and in past we had prepared so many po by using this.
we hv not change any thing & today we are getting message " Provision account key missing for condition type ZPFV in schema ZUELOC"
What to do???????
Thanks
Ketan Vala

hi..
If the accrual is ticked in condition type in M/06, it should have an account key assigned to the condition type in the pricing procedure in M/08.
Go to your contion type ZPFV and check whether you have checked Accrual or not..
then go to ur pricing procedure ZUELOC and check the last two colums for your condito type i.e. Account Key and Accrual Key.
Maintain these..
try this if it works.
Thanks...

How can I more easily set the Key Photo for a face?

I know I can scrub across the face on the cork board to select, but this is completely unusable if you have more than 20 or 30 photos. By way of example: I have 1,700 photos of a person going back more than ten years. I want to choose a recent photo as the key. The order of the photos when you scrub is totally different than the order when you open the face. I can't right click -> set key photo or Photos -> Set Key Photo when I'm looking at the individual photos of that person.
Is scrub-and-select really the only way to do this? I know iPhoto lets you right-click -> set key photo after opening a specific face.

I'm replying only in case no-one else does. To the best of my knowledge, as you have found, the only way to select the face shown on the corkboard in Faces view is via the "skim-and-spacebar" method.
(Well, there is a second identical way: click the info button ("i") and skim-and-click.)
There is no parallel in Faces to the "Set key photo" command available for Projects.
Fwiw, the User Manual refers to the Faces key photo as the "Snapshot".
Feedback might be worthwhile: "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".

Provision Account key missing for a conditon type

dear all,
pricing procedure is not working properly.. whille doing purchase order the system shows provision account key missing for freight condition type in pricing procedure... please give a solution....
regards
deepu

Hello Deepu,
Just Check in T.code : M/08 whether account key is maintained for freight condition type in your pricing procedure.
Specifically check for the freight condition type(s) which is having 'accrual' ticked in M/06 - control data 2.
If the accrual is ticked in condition type in M/06, it should have an account key assigned to the condition type in the pricing procedure in M/08.
Check the same and revert back.
Regards
Gregory Mathews

Setting 'key photo' for Faces?

On an iPhoto event, you can select one photo and set it as a 'key photo'.
Can the same be done with Faces? How?
Dave

in faces view skim across the person you want until you see the photo you want for a key photo and hit the space bar to set it (this works for events too)
You really should take 2 1/2 minutes to watch the iPhoto tutorial - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#faces
