Missing(?) Images on LR 2.6 Upgrade

I had previously been using LR 1.3 (Mac) and finally decided to upgrade to LR 2.6.
Under Library in LR 1.3 the total number of images listed for "All Photographs" is 20,000+.
However, now under Catalog in LR 2.6.1, the total number of images listed for "All Photographs" is 16,000+. ???
I have only opened LR 2.6.1 and have not imported anything or modified the program yet in any way. All my images reside on one internal HD, I do have a couple of backups on separate hard drives for all my images, but none of the 20,000 images for LR 1.3 are scattered in different places.
If it makes any difference, I do remember downloading and trying a beta version of LR 2.0 a while back, but did not purchase or upgrade from the Trial Version.
Any help or advice regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated. I will continue to work in version 1.3 until this disparity is resolved. Thanks.

It sounds like your catalogue got converted to LR 2 format when you tried the beta 2.0 version, and the catalogue it created is the one that 2.6 opened. Since it was a while back, your library probably had fewer images in it.
In your new LR 2.6.1, use the File menu to open your LR 1.3 catalogue. LR will convert it and open it. I wouldn't be surprised if all of your images were there.

Podcast image missing after iTunes 5.0.1 upgrade

After upgrading to iTUnes 5.0.1 the image associated with my podcast is missing. I have verified that the image still exists and that I can view it via a browser. Anyone else experience this?

I have the same problem in the iTunes Music Store Podcast Directory. I just noticed today that one of the two podcasts I manage suddenly has a missing image -- the other is fine. The image is still sitting happily on my server. Upgraded to iTunes 6 just now and the problem still exists.
I looked at the top 100 podcasts and see several with missing images -- This Week in Tech, Engadget, Nature Podcast...
Crazy and annoying! Here's the xml file for my podcast with (so far) a working image:
http://kayray.org/audiobooks/podcast.xml
and here's the one with the suddenly broken image:

Am I missing something?

After recent upgrade, missing images

I allowed the Aperture upgrade to go through. New Aperture upgraded the library. The upgrade was not going through (stuck on step 6), so after searching on the web, I started Aperture with Cmd-Option key. I chose the Rebuild library option and that needed upgrade also, and the upgrade happened.
Now, I cannot see images in projects created over the last two years. The images are in Aperture I can tell - because in Library>Projects I can see all the images. However, if I chose a project in left panel, the project has zero images. If I navigate to Library>Photos, then no photos from last two years can be seen. The search box however shows "showing all" photos - so there does not appear to be an obvious filter on.
All processing, creating of previews, thumbnails, face detection post the library build has happened. Since then I have fixed permissions, repaired library, and again rebuilt library.
The images are definitely there - because I can see the images in the referenced location where I stored them.
Here are some snapshots of what I am facing.
One project in Library>Projects
This one has photos. But this is how I view it in the left panel.
There are other threads with this problem, but I thought that if I elaborate, then maybe some of you can pinpoint the specific problem that I am facing.
Thank you!

If rebuilding the database does not work, and you have no backup of the Library from the time before the upgrade, you might try this:
Make a backup of your Aperture Library - an exact copy on disk with enough space.
Look at the projects with missing images and take not of the time these projects have been imported.
Then ctrl-click he Aperture Library package and look inside by selecting "Show Package Contents" - look into the "Masters" folder. Your original image files should be stored there, files away by import date.
Do you see your images inside? If your original images are still there, you now have two options:
Create a new, empty library and import the original masters (for the missing images) from the "Masters" folder into this new Library. After checking if everything is o.k. import this into your other Library.
Or try to manually fix the other library by removing the database files from within the package.
To manually repair the library, if rebuild does not work:
Caution, caution, caution:
There is one one last desperate method to save some parts of your library that you might try - but that might wreck the library completely, so you need to make sure you have a backup copy before you even think about trying this:
To manually repair a library see here:
Re: Aperture 3 rebuild library - SQLITE MISUSE
Frank Caggiano wrote about this method not long ago:
That's really the option of last resort it is way to easy to totally wreck the library doing this.
It's like the sign over the gates in the Inferno:
Abandon all hope yee that enter here!
I wouldn't advice to try that, unless seeing you are about to recreate the library completely from scratch.

IWeb site update problem-app missing images/files, but site is ok

I created and uploaded a web site to my .mac (yeah, MobileMe) and it displays just fine. I have visited it from a couple of different comps. The problem is that I want to add/update files/pages, but when I open iWeb, several of the images/audio files do not display: shows a x-through and a centered question mark. They are in the sites idisk folder and in the laptop's copy of the files. When I try to replace the missing images/files by dragging onto the iWeb drafting page the following message appears: "the file can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it contains no content or was corrupted."
I'm afraid to make any updates for fear of losing what is already published.
Extra info: have family pack and am switching between .mac accounts because iWeb published to the iDisk corresponding to the account/sub-account you are logged into (BIG pain in the ***! It should have a password protected account toggle like Panther used). I have double-checked that the files for this site are only in the one iDisk account (am redirecting my masked domain url to the .mac iDisk server-works great.
Any ideas?

The upgrade from '06 to '08 which changed the domain.sites to a domain.sites2 caused more confusion, disasters and lost web sites than the bug ridden introduction of '09.
I ended up rebuilding all my sites from new, blank domain files in '08 and the conversion to '09 went OK apart from '09's nasty habit of changing media file links.
Fortunately, I have very little QuickTime content and don't use the iWeb Photos, Albums Blog or Podcast templates.
Most iWeb built sites look pretty awful when users stick to the default page width. I start from a Blank, Black or white page and trash everything on it.
I use the "standard" 980 px page width and most, if not all, of the iWeb themes do not adapt to this.
This is why I constantly ask the question. "Do the iWeb developers actually build any websites with the application?".
Perhaps if they did, we would get more bug free releases and some of the features that "real life" users are requesting.

Missing images in Safari and Mail

Ever since upgrading to Lion earlier this year I have noticed a problem with images in Mail and Safari. I'm now on ML (10.8.2) and the problem persists. Hopefully someone can suggest a solution as it's slowly driving me a bit crazy.
In Mail, when I view an HTML email with images for the first time there is usually one image showing as missing/unloaded (little blue square with a question mark). Just one, and usually one near the top i.e. one of the first images on the page. If I refresh, e.g. view another email then instantly return to the first email, all the images are there. 'Display remote images in HTML messages' is ticked and always has been.
There is a similar problem in Safari. I load a webpage and there is usually at least one image missing/unloaded. Refreshing the page will fix the missing image. Sometimes it's the CSS file that doesn't load leaving an unformatted page, but it's more common with images. I looked in the 'Error Console' today and the error I get for the missing items is "Failed to load resource: The operation couldn’t be completed. Invalid argument".
After the problem started I switched to Chrome and never had the problem once, but I prefer Safari and would like to switch back. I presume the almost identical issue with Mail means that they are somehow linked.
Anyone have the same issue, or any ideas as to what might be causing it?

I think I've narrowed this down to the AVG Linkscanner. Turned it off and all images are present and correct.

Missing Images Grey Box with ?

Have tried drills to view inserted images in 4-page Pages doc, going thru Finder to view, reinsertion of images, trashed com.apple.iwork.Pages.plist,,reinstalled iworks '05 CD, upgraded to 1.0.2, read copious discussions from gurus, still no joy. Images I inserted still there, elusive as ever which remain hidden with that ugly "X" and "?" when reopening doc. Am Mac addict from day one, average Mac user, not tech guru, programmer, developer but need step by step instruction for my low-level 83-year-old comprehension. Pages works o.k. with glitches but the missing image grey box with X and ? reared its ugly head last April and still with me on occasion. Finish 4-page Pages monthly Newsletter 5 meg doc with about 15 inserted jpeg images, "save as" for local distribution printing plus "pdf" for e-mail transmission, print it but when reopening doc after closing I get the grey box with X and ? for my inserted images and have to start over. Images I inserted originally still there opening thru Fiinder viewing "Package Content". Ran G5 Hardware CD test, no problem. From discussions I noted one solution that worked by uncompressing "index.xml.gz" file. Tried that with Stuffitt which didn't work. Am unable to view to see if my images were corrupted as the Discussion Guru "Sylvain Pedneault" outlined on Sep 15, 05, that his images had property sf:corrupt="true". Could be that's my problem if I knew how to determine and fix. I've hit a firewall and am patiently waiting for Apple Pages gurus to resolve this issue still unresolved which I'm confident they will, but at my age I don't buy green bananas. My frustration level is maxed out and will appreciate help in simple step by step language as a work-around until Apple Pages comes thru with upgrade. If I make it thru the Pearly Gates, not guaranteed, I'll put in a good word for the Guru who can resolve my problem!! Thanks.

Hello Jim,
If you want to uncompress a "index.xml.gz" file, try this way:
a) Copy the "index.xml.gz" file to your desktop, so you are not working with the original file.
b) Start from "Applications/Utilities" the program "Terminal".
c) In the terminal window, type: gunzip (with a space after it).
d) Grap the "index.xml.gz" file from the dektop and drop it over the terminal window.
e) Hit the return key.
Now you have a "index.xml" file, which you can open with a text editor.
To compress the file, do the following:
a) In the terminal window. type: gzip (with a space after it).
b) Grap the "index.xml" file from the dektop and drop it over the terminal window.
c) Hit the return key.
The file should be compressed.
To make the template readable for Pages, do the following:
a) Copy the original "index.xml.gz" file from the template package folder (not to the desktop) to have a backup.
b) Now copy the "index.xml.gz" file from the desktop (the one you have edited) to the template package folder and overwrite the original.
Please let us know, what you find out.
Frank.

Albums missing images yet .apalbum files contain their references

I have a project with about 4,000 color transparency scans. I organized the slides into about 150 albums in December 2006. I recently discovered that sometime between then and now (several Aperture version upgrades) about 1/3 of the albums (seemingly a random assortment) contain no images. However the images still exist in the parent project.
If I look in the .apalbum files of the empty albums I see an array of versionUuids which correspond to the missing images. If I search for those versionUuids in the appropriate .apimportgroup directory I can find the name of the image files. Using a manual search and rescue I can reconstruct the albums.
I'm looking for a way to get Aperture to reconstruct the albums itself - saving the time it will take for me to do it manually. I've tried rebuilding the library by launching Aperture and holding down CMD-OPT. I've also tried the more severe method of removing the Aperture.aplib directory and ApertureData.xml file and then rebuilding the libraries. Neither restored the albums.
Are there any other tricks that might get Aperture to reconstruct the albums?
Thanks

I am not expert in these, but please check out the following things and see whether it would solve your issue. (All these changes can be easily rolled back in case I'm wrong :). So make note of what you do)
As per your httpd.conf, you have chosen an automatic configuration of Apache by OWCI installer itself. What it does is create an imageserver.conf file in a separate directory and these settings will be included in your httpd.conf as you can see in the first line: Include "C:/bea/alui/plumtreeconf/".
If you check the imageserver.conf in that location, you would find a line like: Alias /imageserver/ "C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/". This aliases the original path "C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/" to /imageserver"
To confirm whether this is done right, check the following:
1. Acces 'http://<server ip / server name / localhost >/' from your browser
This should display the Apache home page (as per your httpd.conf, it uses the default port 80; so no port number required)
2. Access 'http://<server ip>/imageserver/' from your browser
This should display the directory structure (if its not disabled) inside your 'C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/' folder. Also confirm that all the subfolders are accessible.
3. If all the above is right, it means that your imageserver settings are right. Please check your portalconfig.xml for the correct settings: For example, <setting name="HTTPPort"> should be 7001 in your case. If its something else, change it and restart Weblogic for the settings to take effect.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to create a report of topics with missing images?

If I move all images in a project to a different directory,
is there a way to print out which topics have missing images?
I would like to have all images in the HTMLHelp folder, since
this is the default folder that images are copied to when I insert
them from another source folder. If I move all images from my
"Images" folder to the HTMLHelp folder, is there a way to generate
a report that lists all topics with missing images?
Normally, I've been using the "Images" report to determine
which topics used that image before I moved them, but I'd like a
report that denotes which topics are missing images, period.
thanks in advance,
ChristyG

Hi ChristyG
As long as you only move the images within the RoboHelp
project, none should go missing!
Unfortunately, I don't believe you have an easy report at
your disposal that will advise which topics contain missing images.
Cheers... Rick

Missing images in Word Document

I am having a problem with some missing images when I
generate a Word document from RoboHelp HTML. I have seen similar
problems in these forums and have tried the solutions without
success. I have Word 2002 SP3. I have images in my document that
have conditional tags applied to them. Up until now, I have not had
any trouble with them generating in Word. I added some more images
(using RH to import them into my doc) and I set up the conditional
tags to print those and not the others. In some cases, the images
are generated and in others they are not. There is no X in its
place just a blank line. I have tried erasing the .CPD file and
re-generating. I have tried removing and re-inserting the image.
Also, if I generate the html web help, the images are all there. No
problem. I have tried embedding the images and using links and get
the same result. I have not tried to just generate the PDF because
I need to tweak the document in Word first before generating the
PDF to make everything look good.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Robohelp. That didn't
help either. The image properties all have none (not left or
right). I am running out of ideas to solve this problem. Everything
worked great before so I can't figure out what could possibly be
wrong especially since the webhelp is fine. I also tried moving the
project to my C drive. No change either. The project usually
resides on a network drive.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it since I have a
document to print for a customer ASAP! Thank you in advance.

I have been suffering with this problem of missing graphics for some time, even with RoboHelp 8. However, it now seems that I have found the answer and just in case anyone else is still having this problem I thought I would share what worked for me.
After doing some Google searching I found the web site: http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm where the following solution was offered for problems with Mail Merge graphics:
"If you find that on merging to a new document the resulting paths have been changed to something like: {INCLUDEPICTURE"../,./../program%20files/My Program/ProductPictures/ImageName.jpg"\*MERGEFORMATINET} and the merge does not work correctly:-
(In Word 2003) Select Tools > Options > General > Web Options and uncheck "Update links on save""
Whatever this has to do with anything I do not know, but it magically fixed my problem and all images are now appearing in the RoboHelp Word output.
Cheers,
Chris

The Case of the Missing Image

Go to this link:
http://fyiboerne.info/wcid.html
This page is a very simple HTML page which displays two
things: a "< GO BACK" link, which is visible and working
properly, and one jpg image (file name: wcid#2.jpg) which is not
visible.
I would love to know what is going on here.
Both the html page, and the lone image are in place on the
remote server; however, when I test the page on my testing server
it comes up blank as it does from the browser when online. I've
tried pop-up windows, a download to a pdf version of the .jpg....IT
IS ALWAYS BLANK. Moreover, I have purged the entire site and put it
back...dumped the html file and completely rebuilt it...tried
opening the pdf file and jpg file in Photoshop and Acrobat, where
the image always comes up. In Photoshop, I flattened the layers.
The image shows up in Dreamweaver, but fails to appear in a
preview (using Firefox and Safari), and fails to appear on the
Internet.
I included the source code for this link in the event anyone
can see a problem. The first source code appears on the page which
links to the page in question. The second source code is the code
from the page with the missing image.
THANKS!
HELP!

Removing the "#" character from the file name fixed the
problem. Thanks!

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Missing Images in WebHelp (RH6)

I have built a WebHelp guide of 130 topics. When I first
start to view it, all is well. I stepped through several topics in
the Browse sequence, all OK. I used the Search box and found a few
topics. Selected OK. Then select the Index tab, then Contents tab,
and then the problems start. ALL the larger images fail to appear.
The white space is there on the screen, but no pics, and these are
a mix of GIFs, animated GIFs and PNGs. Most of the smaller images
(say, smaller than about 150 x 250 px) appear OK.
(I am viewing these in IE7, running under Windows XP with all
latest updates; fast Pentium 4 + 1.5Gb RAM, hot 256Mb graphics
card).
If I right-click on a missing image, and select Properties,
it shows the filename, but the file size reports "-1bytes".
On one occasion, I noted that the progress bar at the bottom
of the IE7 screen was stuck trying to load images, and some of the
skin graphics ewre missing too.
If I close the WebHelp and load it again, everything works
OK. Until I repeat this sequence.
Has anybody got any ideas? This problem happened on another
computer, so it's not just this one.
H-E-E-E-E-LP!!

Hi Leon and Harvey,
Thank you for your observations and thoughts.
1. Copying images: Investigation. Open a topic in RH and
click on an image in the WYSIWYG tab. Now switch to TrueCode view.
You can see highlighted the exact code that it will copy. Example:
<img src="actions1.gif"
x-maintain-ratio=TRUE
style="border: none;
width: 319px;
height: 204px;
float: none;
border-style: none;
border-style: none;"
width=319
height=204
border=0>
--- (The code should be indented as in TrueCode view, but
this forum page does not support tabs or multiple spaces).
So, clicking on an image in WYSIWYG correctly picks up the
filename reference, aspect ratio, exact size, borders etc.
- Copy and paste this text to NotePad, so you can refer back
to it in a moment.
- Now return to WYSIWYG, click on the image and use Ctrl_C
copy.
- Switch to another topic and Ctrl_V paste the image
somewhere convenient.
- Click on the image, and look at the TrueCode page.
The code has copied across exactly as on the original topic -
compare with the code in NotePad.
Now save the topic (you can delete the image later).
Next, select the Project tab, bottom left. Look in the Images
folder and find the image you just copied. Double-click to open the
Image Properties, and select the "Used In" tab. You can see the
image correctly registered in the two topics.
Conclusion: Copying and pasting images takes the exact code
from one topic and pastes it into another; so I do not understand
why there should be a problem; these are only HTML web pages, after
all - unless there's a bug in the RH background database
interfacing?
2. Resizing images: Although it is possible to drag the
corner of an image to resize it, I teach people not to do this, as
the image quality suffers badly, and it renders the image
unreadable sometimes. I resize in Paint Shop Pro if I must; but
prefer to take a cropped area of a real-scale screenshot if I can.
The RH Help Guide claims that RH supports PNG; and why not?
It's just an HTML web page. Something is deeply wrong somewhere if
this is happening... The mystery remains: is it just a PNG
problem?

Missing images in Application Builder

I've updated ApplExpr from 2.2 to 3.0 and everything seems fine. However, I seem to be missing images. Situation:
Oracle 10gR1, using apache as db_2 and database as db_1.
When I access ApplExpr from an external machine such as my personal PC, I see everything fine when I go to edit a page in my application.
When I access ApplExpr from the server machine, and go to edit a page, I don't get the display for editing. Instead I see the "page, view, go" line and beneath that three "boxed" headings: Page Rendering, Page Processing and Shared Components.
My dad.conf is pointing at the correct image directory.
I'm not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?
TIA,

Missing images in photo books

When I try the print or PDF preview of my photo book, there are several missing images or part missing images. Each time I preview the book different images appear to be corrupt or partly missing. They book appears to be fine in the viewer of Aperture. I do not want to send it off, until I can be sure that it will print properly. any suggestion?

I found a work-around!!!
I've been using RAW images in the book, so when Aperture generates a PDF or book, it had to convert RAW to JPEG and some images didnt make the cut. Here's what to do: convert the RAW files to JPEG (original size) after you are done with your image editing and simply regenerate any incomplete pics, then drop the JPEGs into your book (Aperture actually seemed to remeber scale and position of the images when I dropped the JPEG on top of the RAW files in the book - very cool). Now generate your book/PDF and voila - no corrupted images! And book generation is a lot faster too since the conversion to JPEG is already done. The only downside is that you are using more space now for separate versions.
Pheewwww - my book's on order and cant wait to see the results.

Missing images in distributon email

I have created my form and distributed it through the Distribute Form. I sent the form to a couple of people in my department to test the form. In the email they receive, there appears to be missing images above and below the text I entered in the distribute form. The end user only sees the typical red outline with a small x in the corner indicating there should be an image. The email is sent via Lotus Notes email system.
How do I display the image and where is it generated from?

Hi,
That is nothing to do with the form.
You are distributing the form via Acrobat.com - which is perfectly fine.
The red x is from the email client blocking the standard Acrobat.com header and footer:
Clicking the download pictures, which show the images:
Just note that these have nothing to do with the form itself.

Missing images in folders

Does anyone else have this issue:
Sporadically, a folder within my library will not display any of the images from that folder. Usually it happens during intense processor usage. For instance, when I geotagged 500 photos, the computer gave me the beachball then the images were missing from their folder. When I place my cursor over the folder with the missing photos, it still tells me how many versions there are, but no images actually show up in the browser. If I go to the main library folder, I can find all of the 'missing' images.
The only way I've been able to make the images visable in a folder is to create a new folder, then drag and drop all of the images from my main library into the new folder.
Is this a known problem and are there any fixes known as of yet?
Thanks in advance!

You have probably moved the files outside of Lightroom. The images you see in LR are previews that were made before you moved the files.
Do a search for the files/folders using your computers operating system. (Explorer/Finder)
Once you have found them, you can point LR to the right location.
