Missing Pix in Library

Macbook
Tiger
Iphoto 6
When I look at my Pictures folder...Iphoto Library...Artwork....all my pix are there to view.
When I open Iphoto and look at the pix, my Library structure stops at 'Artwork', with no sub-folders and no artwork pix nor any of the other 7 or 8 folders that are there along with the 'Artwork' folder.
At the same time, even with what pix are shown in Iphoto, if I select Slideshow, i get a Grey Frame against a Black background...and an exclamation mark in the center of the Grey.
If I click on a pic from the thumbnails across the top, that pic will flash in the Grey Frame for a blink of an eye...then nothing.
When I hit PLAY for the slideshow, I get a black screen, the controls, and the music...no pics.
I can view the pics that are there as Full Screen, and I can select them for edit.
I have done the rebuild by holding Alt & Apple and launching Iphoto. Clicked all boxes. Rebuild completed with no change of behavior.
I have a complete backup on a separate drive.
Any help would be appreciated.

ikenart,
You cannot import any photos into iPhoto via the finder. All imports must be through the iPhoto application or through an approved import in a similar fashion as you would do for exporting pictures. See below
A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files.
Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pictures, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the application needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
It is strongly advised that you never move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. There are no User Serviceable parts here. Nothing here can be deleted.
To access your files:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Picture in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the picture to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the picture on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pictures from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the picture.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Hope this helps

  • About a month ago I couldn't access 100s of pix from my iPhoto library.  I then went through the process of "re-finding" all missing pix.  I 2x checked that they opened.  Now, I'm having the same original problem!  What's iPhoto doin with my pix?

    My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone  to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    I have a simlar issue like this when loading my movies to my iTouch. iTunes says that all of your wanted content is sync and your iPod says that all content wasn't synced, is that what you are saying?

  • Movies suddenly missing in my library, from purchases, and from iTunes

    I have recently noticed that numerous movies have gone missing from the library on my PC where all of my content is stored.  The files are still in my iTunes/Movies folder but will not play when I try to add the file back to my library.  In addition, when I go to my purchase history, it's saying that I have over thirty movies that are "not on this PC".  This all started happening after Apple added movies to iCloud.  I had the same thing happen when iTunes match first came out with TV shows on my PC.
    In addition, one movie that I was looking for, "Cedar Rapids", which was purchased from the iTunes store, doesn't even show up on the store anymore.  It is not included in my prior purchases, nor is it in my library.  Other than my receipt, which took some time to locate, there is no evidence of this movie anywhere and there are numerous other examples like this from my library.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, is there an easy fix?  Re-downloading all of my movies or doing an audit to find all of my missing movies is not something I want to do.

    You can only upload music from your computer's iTunes, you can't do it from an iOS device - when you subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer it should have scanned your music library on it and matched or uploaded any non-iTunes purchased music to it.
    Do you have copies of those tracks anywhere e.g. on an iOS device or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If they are iTunes purchases then they should be in the cloud. If they were copied from CDs or bought from other sources then if they are only on an iOS device (i.e. you don't have them on a backup) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Missing flexmotion vi library?

    Dear Amaury,thanks for advice again,I do not have the right to remove company's labview or flexmotion 6C software, the only thing for sure is when I initialize and test under MAX, it was ok.Could it be the missing flexmotion VI library? as when I open the library, there were only two folders; Borland and visual. The manual says there is a separate flexmotion VI package includes a complete motion VI library,with examples, for use with LABVIEW, is this a separate item not come together when purchase the controller?

    Yes you are missing the flexmotion VI library. The library comes with the software which comes with the board. When the software was previously installed the option to install the LabVIEW components must not have been selected. As I mentioned previously you will need to reinstall the software which came with your card to find these VIs.
    Hope this helps.

    Hey Hisheroisgonex,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If the track is no longer in your iTunes Library, you can re-download using the information in this article:

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Iphoto rebuild still missing pix

    after having iphoto problems and assuming a corrupted library, i have rebuilt the library first with iphoto, then with iphoto library manager. iphoto still isn't showing any photos after oct 2007. i see the folders and pix for more recent photos inside the iphoto package and can open them successfully. i've also found folders earlier than october with pix that aren't in the rebuilt library. i know there are problems with re-importing. so i have 3 questions
    --is there a way with mac/leopard to do a directory comparison and find out specifically which pix from the original iphoto library are missing from the rebuilt library.
    --once i know all the pix that are missing, is my best strategy to copy them to a spot outside of the iphoto package, then import them to the rebuilt library?
    --i haven't checked this out in detail, but several of the files that iphoto library manager didn't copy over were movie files--those little .avi files imported originally from my camera. is there a different way i should be handling those?
    thanks for any suggestions,
    -db
    p.s. thanks to this board for the iphoto library manager suggestion.

    dvb:
    It appears that your only option to get all of the photos and movies into the library is to create a new library and import the Originals folder from the old one. However, you may be able to keep the keywords, titles and comments of those photos in the library now that you can see. Just follow Tutorial #1.
    To help prevent this type of loss, damaged/corrupted library database file, see the tip at the end of my signature below.
    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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • "show in itunes store" command missing from video library

    updated to itunes 11.1, and ios7.
    This isn't a pro or con diatribe, just a list of the minorish bugs that i have noticed:
    First (probable?) bug:
    With the latest update, the (control click) "show in itunes store" command is missing from all video layouts (unwatched, shows, genres) except "list".
    I assume this is just a temporary bug, as it limits easy access to purchasable store content.
    This is especially important since "check for available downloads", while still around, has been, as far as i can tell, completely nonfunctional for months.
    I now have all my email notifications for passes turned on, and just manually click on the emails to download new content.
    However, especially for shows with extra content, sometimes the email doesn't download the actual show, just the extra content.
    for this reason, and for non pass shows, and just for general shopping and impulse buys, I liked to use the "show in itunes store" to easily check shows that i am currently interested in.
    except that now it is gone.
    Another (probable) bug:
    I have a lot of purchased content, so i have the cloud turned off to control the flow of menu information.  i don't need to see everything i have purchased all the time, only the newest shows that i actually have loaded onto the ipad.  I still just load in the shows i want to watch from my main computer after i have downloaded them from apple to the hard drive, which i guess is now a bit old fashioned.  ios7 doesn't seem to like this very much, as it initially displays the cloud content when opening the "video" app, before blanking and replacing it with the edited down version. But the real bug is this:
    Now when i delete a video on the ipad, it crashes the "video" app.
    And, instead of recognizing the delete when i sync to the computer, it ignores it and reloads the video onto the ipad.
    ......And finally:
    There is still a tendency for the ipad and itunes to throw up the "sign in" pop up, often multiple times in a row, anywhere and for no reason, even when i am already signed in. Sometimes i can just hit "cancel" and it disappears, other times it forces me to retype my password.  It's gotten a lot better and less frequent than when it first started earlier this year, but it's still around. 
    Having said this, I'm still, of course, a huge fan of the change earlier this year that keeps track of purchases and allows me redownload, instead of the old "lose it and its gone, tough luck" policy. 

    Ha.  Maybe it's just me then.  When i control click on a show, i'm getting:
    In Library/TV Shows:  Unwatched, Shows, and Genres:
    play "[show]"
    mark as watched
    mark as unwatched
    [depending on blue dot]
    get info
    rating
    show description
    show in finder
    reset plays
    show in playlist
    copy
    as opposed to, in List (and everywhere else):
    play "[show]"
    mark as watched
    mark as unwatched
    [depending on blue dot]
    get info
    rating
    show description
    show in finder
    show in itunes store
    get album artwork
    reset plays
    consolidate files
    new playlist from selection
    add to playlist
    show in playlist
    copy
    delete
    uncheck selection
    apply sort field
    I have my sidebar turned on, but it doesn't seem to make a difference if it is showing or not.
    I looked around in settings, view, and window for a way to modify the control click menu, but couldn't find anything.
    It's a very minor issue.
    If your menu is working, maybe I just need to delete my copy of itunes and reinstall.  Or change a setting somewhere.

  • Missing files - corrupt library after upgrade to 11.1.4

    I updated iTunes to 11.1.4, and after launching, it looked like it was updating my library as it's done in the past.  However, this time, after an hour I realized it had not yet completed, and a dialogue box asking about creating an iTunes U playlist was on the screen.  I tried to do so, but it just kept repeating.  So finally I stopped it, and now I have an file marked iTunes library (damaged) and an incomplete library.  I am missing thousands of songs compared to the last .itl I have in Previous iTunes Libraries.
    I thought when iTunes did an upgrade to the library it was supposed to make a backup? If so, and I did the upgrade yesterday, why is the most recent file in Previous iTunes Libraries dated from four months ago?
    How can I repair the damaged .itl file, as the one iTunes is using now as, as I mentioned, missing thousands of songs now.
    Is there any sort of script or utility I can use to figure out exactly which files are missing from the current .itl in my library? 
    Thanks in advance. 

    I thought when iTunes did an upgrade to the library it was supposed to make a backup? If so, and I did the upgrade yesterday, why is the most recent file in Previous iTunes Libraries dated from four months ago?
    No, you need to do the backup as part of regular computer maintenance and before you do any software upgrades.  iTunes moves the old library into the previous library area but perhaps your update failed before it did that.
    How can I repair the damaged .itl file, as the one iTunes is using now as, as I mentioned, missing thousands of songs now.

    Is there any sort of script or utility I can use to figure out exactly which files are missing from the current .itl in my library?
    Yes, there's one on the Dougscripts web site that will crawl through a library.  In yur case it's probably just as easy to drag the whole iTunes media folder to Automatically Add to iTunes.  Anything already in the library it will ignore.  Anything not there it will add.

  • FAQ: My files are missing from the Library, or How to reconnect your images?

    What is the Lightroom Library?
    The Library module of Lightroom can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Library, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
    What is a Lightroom catalog?
    The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Lightroom. When importing a file, the first thing Lightroom does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and your catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
    Why does Lightroom say my files are missing?
    Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Lightroom, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Library module, and then the connection is not lost.
    What is Reconnecting?
    When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.

    Dude! Where are my photos?

    Similar happened to me when i moved my iTunes library from XP to Win 8.1. Apps were in iTunes but would not sync to iPhone - could not find oritinal file. Win Xp and 8.1 have different file paths for My Documents and My Music. Locate the folder within iTunes called Mobile Applications. It should have a file with an IPA extension for each application. Add that folder to library. That will refresh the iTunes database so that it knows where to find the apps. I had to do that to my entire library (music, podcasts, etc)

  • Music files mysteriously missing from itunes library

    I have never had problems with my Itunes until now. Over 8GB of music has gone missing from my Itunes Library, there is still 2GB of random music left in the Library.
