Keywords are not showing up on photos

After going to great length to assign keywords to my entire photo library, I burned all the photos onto iPhoto DVDs in preparation for my computer getting a new hard drive installed.
After new hard drive was installed, I reinstalled iPhoto 4.0.3 and uploaded all my photos from the DVDs. I noticed that my keywords pane had reverted to the default keywords (because I hadn't backed up my plist file for this), so I added all my keywords back into the pane (and deleted the defaults I didn't need).
Now there are only three keywords (out of a possible 12 or so) that are showing up. Favorite, Vacation and 4H.
Why aren't the others showing up??? Is all my hard work lost?

Unless you really know what you're doing, the only way to preserve keyword associations is to preserve the entire iPhoto Library folder. Had you burned the entire iPhoto Library folder to disk, your new installation would have only required that you drag the iPhoto Library folder from the disk to the new Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.

My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events

My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events. The only place I can see them is in the "Last Import" folder. When I try to re-import them it pops up the Duplicate warning which means they are in the library but not showing up. Any ideas?

If they are in last import then they should be there - check the date on one of the photos in last import and look for that date in your library - last import, photos and events are simply different ways of viewing the same photos - if they are there in one view they are there in all views - somewhere
Select a pic in Last Import and Right-Click on it. Choose 'Show Event' from the menu. This will bring you to the Event containing the photo.
If the photo is in Last Import, then the photo is in the Library somewhere, just not where you expect it to be. Usual causes: the date on your camera is wrong, and so the date on the photo is wrong, or the sorting of the Events has changed (View Menu -> Sort Events)

Mountain Lion, photos are not showing up in photo stream

I recently installed Mountain Lion, now photos are not showing up in photo stream on the computer. What should I do?

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

Why are keywords are not showing ....

Why are keywords are not showing, all other functions and metadata seem fine

LarryHN - Thanks for jerking me back to reality. I've been using iPhoto since 2001, I have over 14,000 images in the file, I use facial recognition, Places, folders, keywords and Events (did I leave anything out?). I installed Lion a couple months ago, I'm running iPhoto '11, version 9.2.1 and I'm not getting any error messages. When I click on View, Keywords I expect to see little boxes under each image with one or more Keywords in it. If I click on View, Info I can see the keywords in the sidebar but they never appear in the main window.

Keywords are not being assigned to photos, Lightroom 2.3

I have recently installed 2.4 and after several bugs, I uninstalled and went back to 2.3 more stable version, everything is still the same ever since, that is:
Still I get the triangles I didn't use to get (I have been using the very same camera, with the same settings for ages now)
Still I get freezing when I assign keywords to single or multiple photos either by the spay tool or the keywording small panel, or the keywording big panel, or even the Keyword list. It simply doesn't register keywords!!!
I closed application and opened again
I repaired installation of 2.3
I changed from develop mode, to loope mode to grid mode
I save my keywords a preset and just clicked them to assign them in one or multiple photos (some times it works sometimes not)
I restored keyword set presets
I used all ways of inputting data=keywords and the system does not respond
hence I cannot really use the most powerful tool of that software that is the keywords, which is frustrating enough all right
I would appreciate your suggestions and ideas of work around's, cheers!

Sorry Sean but my problem is not the list of bugs but the keywords not being assigned to my photos as posted initially. So, in this sense I don't find your post much helpful to be honest.
That's fine, the list wasn't for you, it was for Pete Marshall.
Anyways, I upgraded back to 2.4. Indeed I do believe that its my slow system and processor that is causing the problems. When I fire up lightroom, I close everything else and I still get my fan speeding and pc's heart pulpitating, you know!!
1. I also get other problems like looping the image view for some time before it renders a larger review of the photo I am looking, if I move fast between views. (therefore I can't see the image since it keeps on/off looping)
This is because it's taking ages for your computer to render, due to the low spec. Rendering is quite intensive, so needs lots of power to be quick.
2. It doesn't seem to create virtual copy, but only at times (preferably when it feels like it). I get errors similar to the following.
The virtual copy should always be created, but can be only readily be seen when in the same folder as the master.
3. ...and also I get errors trying to save a Quick collection, like: "Internal Error has occured: C:\....\\Lightroom Catalog.lrcat":PRIMARY KEY must be unique. Statement: INSERT INTO AgLibraryTagImage (Id_local, flattenedParams,image, pick,
Well, you really shouldn't be seeing bare SQLite instructions, so something is definitely up. Try using Relaunch and Optimize from the Catalog Settings 'General' tab. This should detect if there are issues with the catalog itself. Some of the things you are experiencing are due to the speed of the machine, but I don't think all of them are.

Photos are not showing anymore in Photo Stream folder even though they are there.

A couple of days ago my Photo Stream folder in iPhoto was suddenly empty. I checked and Photo Stream is switched on. I disabled it and switched it back on. Now You can see that Photo Stream is importing the images but when iPhoto is done, there are no photos in the folder. When taking a pic with my Mac it uploads as well into Photo Stream and shows up on my iPhone but in iPhoto Photo Stream still nothing.
I tried manually adding pics but it tells me they are already there. Very strange.
I also know that Photo Stream itself is working because it works to use Photo Stream as a screen saver and there all the pics show. So it must be a problem with iPhoto. I also did all the repair options for the Media Library that you can do when starting iPhoto. Nothing has changed the situation.
Anyone any suggestions?

ICloud and Photos app are not showing full resolution photos

Since migrating my iPhoto library to Photos, it has had problems showing the full resolution of photos. I initially had "Optimize Mac Storage" selected, but even when I had space available, it would not download the full resolution version of a photo. The loading circle in the bottom right corner would spin until it would be 'fully loaded' but the photo would not become the full resolution photo. I then checked "Download Originals to This Mac", but after it said it had downloaded the full sized versions of everything, the same problem occurred. I then went to iCloud and the iCloud Photos app and saw that some of my photos were displayed at about 1/3 the size on the screen. This wasn't just zoomed out. When I zoomed in closer the image did not resolve any better.
HOWEVER, downloading the photo from iCloud and opening it in preview gave the full resolution photo. I have attached an image showing the different levels of resolution from os x Photos app, iCloud, and the downloaded image (shown in Preview). I used the zoom slider on Photos until it reached 100%, I set the view in Preview to "Actual Size", but in iCloud to get the same dimension image, I had to zoom to 200%+.
Another thing that I noticed was that this doesn't happen to all of my photos:
It definitely happens to all of my photos taken with a Fujifilm X-M1, where I shoot in RAW, adjust and process in Lightroom, then export JPEGs to iPhoto. These tend to be slightly smaller (largest side 2048 pixels).
It doesn't happen to photos taken with 645Pro app (where I still export JPEGs to iPhoto with largest side 2048 pixels).
It happens to some, but not all, photos taken with the iPhone's native camera app
I am very confused. Also, even after having checked "Download Originals to this Mac" and letting it download everything, the Photo Library is only 3.77 GB. In iCloud it is ~10GB and my old iPhoto library was about ~15GB.

I now discovered that I can't edit photos in the Photos app (presumably because Photos is not communicating well with iCloud and can't download the full resolution photo to edit).

My pictures are not showing up in photo stream on CPU anymore? It is turned on in the setting of my iphone 4 but not automatically sycning?

Anyone able to help?

My edits in LR 5.4 are not showing up on the photos in the parent folder?

When I open my photos directly from the parent folder on my computer the edits/corrections I made in LR are not showing up, the photos are the original imports? The photos in the parent folder are renamed as they were in LR. I'm almost positive the photos in the parent folder showed the edits and corrections prior to LR 5.4. Does anyone have suggestions?

That's the way Lightroom works. You will not see the edits you made in Lightroom when viewing your photos via your operating system.
To see your edits, you need to browse your photos in Lightroom, or if you want to see your edits outside of Lightroom, you must use File->Export in Lightroom to create an exported version of your photo, which will show your edits outside of Lightroom.

Photo Count is Correct But Photos are not Showing

I just imported my old photos to iPhoto. All 19,000 of them. Photo shows correct number of photos but when I look at the photo view area, not all the photos are there. But there's an album that appeared below where I can view the new photos i just transferred. How is it that they are not showing in the Photo are but shows on an album? Faces still running. Will it show after Faces is done?

but when I look at the photo view area, not all the photos are there.
What do you see?

After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see my photos

After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.

Try these for the first attempt:
First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

I have installed Itunes 10.5 on my PC and I have turned photostream on on my Ipad2 and Iphone. The photos sync fine but they are not showing up on my PC. What's the problem? I can see my photos on my ipad and Iphone. I want to be able to see them on my PC when I take pictures from my Iphone and Ipad. How do I see Photostream on my PC?

You have to install the iCloud control panel for windows, then sign in with you apple ID, and check what you want to sync.

Hi, I have a new iPad air, all of the photos from the cloud are not showing up. What do I need to do to get all my photos from the cloud onto my new iPad air? Thanks!!

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.
