Missing Project box thumbnails but weird

Under Library: Projects I have folders. One of them contains all my personal work. It is mostly folders for subjects like dogs, flowers, people, travel, etc. In each of those are either more folders or typically Project “boxes”. Like one for dogs and one for puppies in the Dog folder.
Recently, I went to Americana folder and saw that my Flags Project box (along with a few others) were missing most of the images. The little grey number showing images in each project was showing the right number. But only 5 or so actual images are visible in the Flags project “box”.
Interestingly, they show up when I select the Americana folder (but not the Project box they were in)!
I did each of the option + command Aperture library rebuilds, permissions, basic fix, and then total rebuild. Twice. Interestingly, another Project box “Farms” did bring back all the missing stuff after the final full database reconstruct.
But not the flags I need to properly organize and edit (or who knows what else out of thousands of images).
What can I do to restore the proper organization here?

Never mind. Unbelievably, the FILTER was still on for just that folder! But I had not been in the Flags Project box in YEARS!
So, does that mean that, filters are retained for specific Project boxes? Apparently, that is so as I just looked at other folders. But, inexplicably, while the check box (star rating) was checked, unlike with the Flags, it seemed to have no affect on those others.
So the filter option is clearly unclear on functionality.
That’s just bad UI and UX.

  • Mysterious missing project.

    This never happened in 5 years of using FCP7 and I am sure I have done nothing wrong. I opened a library from Sept 2014 and went to an event to open a project which I know I edited because I exported t to disc as a Pro Res file. Anyway the project has completely vanished into thin air. All the other projects in that library are all intact. Is there anyway of searching for a "lost" or has anyone got any idea where it could have gone project?
    Thanks for any advice or theories?

    The mystery now deepens. I have a new library with 10 or so events, each one represents a Part1 and a Part 2 of a show. I have just looked at a show (Pt 1 &2 events) and found the project blank for Part 1 and no clips showing and Part 2 project is perfect with all the clips in the project, BUT NO CLIPS showing  in the box underneath, but they all exist in the time line. All the other events in the library are perfect. I just edited the missing one 2 days ago. Luckily I always export the master immediately after I have edited it. I cannot see what I am doing wrong, since surely the problem would repeat itself, but it seems so random.

  • Moved files between project, lost thumbnails, cannot see images anymore

    Hi,
    I moved 1902 images from one Project to another, but that didn't work very successful.
    I have now all the 1902 still in the original Prject but I see no thumbnails and selecting it says that it cannot show the image (red background).
    I can neither see them in the new project, well some ~5% I can see, but the rest are just grey icons. If I try to edit one, it shows nothing.
    Is there a way to sort of "check" the library and rebuild the thumbnails?

    I am running 1.1.2 but have not yet upgraded to 10.4.7
    I cannot export those pictures, because they now completly disappeared after I started Aperture with cmd/opt.
    When I looked into the aperture library the missing pictures had the CR2 file missing in the folder. So I doubt I would have been able to actually export the original file.

  • Thumbnails, but no pictures? A possible colour profile solution

    Pics scanned in to iPhoto using my Minolta Scan Dual IV appeared as thumbnails, but when loading appeared as empty grey boxes surrounded by white dotted lines.
    Once I removed the embedded scanner colour profile (sRGB) using Photoshop, the pics appeared as normal.
    I hope this helps others who are suffering from missing pics.

    Sorry but I have not idea what you have done
    I thought I backed up my library using time machine to an external drive but all I see are thumbnails &
    What exactly does this mean
    when I click on one a big question mark comes up instead of the full size original.
    Is this using iPhoto?
    I tried rebuilding the library from the external drive but now even the thumbnails are gone,
    Exactly what did you do? iPhoto does not rebuild from anywhere - it only will rebuild the library it is currently using
    I deleted files &
    Please explain
    then emptied the trash when my startup disc was full
    Again I have no idea at all of what you have done - but if you have deleted files from the iPhoto library using the finder and emptied the system trash then you library is toast and you will have to start over
    Is it still possible the originals are there?
    Of course - it is possible - if they are they will be in the Masters folder in your iPhoto library - right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents and look (BUT DO NOT TOUCH - NEVER make any changes to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder)
    How can I see where all the thumbnails are located?
    They are in the previews folder - same warning as above
    If I've lost the originals I'd still like to have the thumbnails all in one place.
    Again not sure what you want - you can create a new library and import any image you want into it including the previews - but they are very low quality - almost unuseable

  • Missing Project in Aperture 3

    I've had a project go completely missing and I'm stumped as to what happened or how to find it. I did all my work on the project and organized it, with 3 others, under a folder. I created a slideshow and I selected some images and posted them to my Mobile Me Gallery. I've done nothing else to the project, but now the entire project is missing, and the images aren't showing anywhere on Aperture.
    The Mobile Me gallery online still includes images from my missing project.
    help?

    Hi Tony, thanks for the welcome.
    I've searched and I still have only the one library. The library is about 120GB so it would be hard to create without noticing.
    Luckily I did find the project on my backup, so I didn't lose it completely. It was an accident that I discovered that it was missing at all. The photos were taken less than a month ago, and my backup was from mid-September. So my issue is trying to figure out how it could have disappeared at all, because I certainly don't want it to happen again.
    With the size of my library it is going to be difficult to maintain multiple iterations of my Aperture library. My plan was to maintain two backups - one at home and one at work on external hard drives. But if I have to plan for multiple versions going back into time I will. Maybe a Time Machine backup at work will be the answer. I have been using SuperDuper backup and my laptop is 4 years old and not all that powerful.

  • Photos missing from Camera Roll but but not from Whatsapp

    This is some weird situation here. I got my new iphone (6). Old one was 4s. I backuped to my computer, then restored from backup for new iphone. But last 10-12 photos are missing from camera roll but when i try to send a photo to one of my whatsapp contacts i can see those photos there. Dont know what to do to bring them back. Help please

    I also have the same problem. I upgraded a 3G to 4 iOS and lost one of 2 camera rolls. I've searched for the answers too and got next to nothing! I searched apple's support website using the iPhone as the device and used the key words: "iphone upgrade 4 lost photos" and got information on a mac laptop! I got more info by Googling the same key words but still no fix. So I called apple and after a few meager attempts I was told "Sorry they are lost". I asked about a fix coming out and was told they "are still examining the problem, to see if anything can even be done about it." Maybe it’s my fault for thinking any man made device could be dependable... I would give up my iPhone now and forever to retrieve those photos. They were mostly of my children, ages 3 and 5, taken over the last 2 years... starting in the AT&T store, the day I bought my iPhone.

  • Can see thumbnails, but can't enlarge a photo

    Hi all,
    Installed iPhoto11 yesterday. So far, I'm having a few issues that I can't seem to be able to fix. One of them is when enlarging a photo. I can see the thumbnail, but can't enlarge it. This is not happening to all photos. All photos that were taken "portrait" and were modified in iLife09 are working. All originals, in landscape mode, are not. I get the Grey Library Icon when trying to enlarge.
    I've tried to delete my projects, albums, etc. but it didn't change the behaviours.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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, 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.

  • Missing Projects in Aperture 2.1.4 after database rebuild?

    Had issues when editing a recent import in Aperture 2.1.4. I looked for help and followed this: I repaired permissions on my HD, then rebooted. I still had the same behaviors when working on the images so I tried the Aperture "Consistancy check". It said it was running a "Vacuum of Database" and then reopened Aperture. I decided to "rebuild the database" and finished my editing on that Project. Before I did the rebuild I did a Time Machine back up to an external HD. After I did the rebuild I did a Vault update. (My Library is Managed.) Later when searching for some photos that I had imported last year from my iPhone, I discovered that several iphone projects were missing. I searched the Library with Keywords, dates, etc and the files do not show up. I looked in deleted files from my last Vault. The only iphone files were ones that I had deleted back in Sept 2012. I did a spotlight search on my harddrive but could not locate files by names.  I am talking about hundreds of photos in these projects. I know that I did some keywording and some have Instagram tag.  Also, when I open Aperture it says that 466 Projects have not been backed up to the Vault and 19 files. (There has been one Project with those 19 files imported since the last Vault update.) In Aperture it says that I have 465 Projects and 27,578 images. The size of the Library is 180.28GB. The last Vault update is 154.7 GB. I think that the missing projects were imported at times from Sept 2012 through Dec. 2012.
    How do I see if they are in a previous Time Machine backup and restore only those missing projects to Aperture? Is there a way to check the contents of my lst Vault back up? (I also do not want to lose my two recent imported and editted projects.)
    I did just look at the contents (Show Package Contents) of my Aperture Library in the Finder and I can see the Library Folder in the my organization where they reside in Aperture and the icons with the named missing projects. I know that I should not mess with the package, but does this indicate that they are still on my harddrive?  I also see some Albums that I remember making in the Dec 2012 Folder. They no longer show up in Aperture. It seems that somehow I ended up with an earlier version of my Aperture Library after my troubleshooting. I would love to get back to the earlier version of the Library and then add in the last two projects and edits that I added in Feb 2013. Those two projects, including the one that I was working on when all this began are still there, but I am at the very least missing many hundreds of photos of my family and travels that did reside in those Projects. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I need to upgrade to Aperture 3 asap, but need to solve this first.)

    Anyone recovered from a similar issue?
    Yes, I have inadvertently discovered I have the same problem with TIFFs I created by scanning in some very old photographs as TIFFs three years ago. I did extensive work on the old photos to restore their quality. Three years ago, everything seemed to work fine including printing the TIFFs. I just discovered Aperture 2.1.4 and Aperture 3 can't find the managed masters even though I verified they are in the libraries!
    Like you I don't need to salvage the masters since I can drag them out of the library; I want to export the versions so I have my retouching work saved. At least I can see the final work in Aperture 2 but in Aperture 3, all is white or black previews with its managed masters not found.

  • PSE Organizer - can see thumbnails but cant find originals

    haveing issue - can see photos in the PSE Organizer thumbnails but cant find the originals on my pc - any help appreciated.

    Kihaku
    Have you moved the photos recently, perhaps through Explorer?
    If you do not know where the pictures are, you could find a filename and do a Search on your hard drive. Once you know where the pictures are, you could do a File>Reconnet Missing and link the thumbnail back to the picture.
    The other question would be is there a CD icon in the thumbnails? This would indicate the original photo is stored off-line on a CD or DVD.

  • Missing Projects in iMovie 09 after upgrading to Mavericks

    Using iMovie 09 (8.0.6)
    Before Mavericks came out I moved (copied) my iMovie Projects and Events to an external hard drive (from within iMovie, not the OS).
    Everything was where it should be and worked properly after I was done.
    My first time back into iMovie since upgrading to Mavricks and now my projects are missing in iMovie. The projects are present on the external disk in the OS, but they don't show up under the external drive from within iMovie's Project Library window pane. The events are present on the external when viewed from either within iMovie or the OS.
    I've found the solution to delete the UpdatedToiMovie10 file, but since I didn't upgrade iMovie, that's not an option for me.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    I do suspect there must be some incompatibility between Mavericks and iMovie v. 8 because all was working in your previous operating system (was that ML, Lion  or Snow leopard?) and the OS upgrade should not have touched your Projects folder (it is still at the root level of your external drive isn't it?.
    Did you get iMovie 10 when you upgraded to Mavericks?  (I suspect not because you would have needed to have iLife '11 and then you would have had iMovie 9).  I am wondering whether iMovie 10 would be able to see and update your missing projects.  Trouble is that would be a $15 (I think)  gamble which may not pay off.
    (Actually iMovie 9.0.9 doesn't launch at all under Mavericks on both of my Macs for reasons I still don't understand - for most people it works OK) but I was able to update projects to iMovie 10 and have now moved on to FCP 10.1.

  • Please Help, Missing Project File and Discussion Advice Isn't Working.

    Here's the rundown:
    I was working in iMovie HD 5 when the power got cut out on my external hard drive. When I try to reload my project I got the 'Missing Project File' error that has been discussed by many on this board.
    There are two known fixes.
    1) Open the package and go back to the '~' version of the project.
    2) Use the MovieTimeline.mov in the Cache to import it back into a new project.
    Solution #1 simply didn't work.
    Solution #2 imports the full video as a single long clip but is significantly lower in quality than the original version.
    In addition, the movie was shot in true widescreen and plays in quicktime in 16:9 mode, but when I import that .mov file into iMovie HD for some reason bars are added on the sides and top and bottom of the frame, and the bars are thicker on the sides so it stretches the picture and makes everything look taller.
    Although I'd certainly much rather have my original project timeline back, I could still continue my work if I could figure out how to import the .mov so that it retains the quality and size that it had to begin with.
    Does anyone have any idea how to import it without losing the quality and size or how to gain back an earlier project save?
    Please help if you can, my grandfather's 83rd birthday gala celebration (2 days away!) depends on it!

    I know you're in a rush, so I'll mention a couple other possibilities.
    Solution #2 imports the full video as a single long
    clip but is significantly lower in quality than the
    original version.
    • You shouldn't see any difference. The video imported from the Timeline Movie.mov is exactly the same as the original video. My guess is you're seeing some side effect of the widescreen issue. That, or your iMovie playback settings have changed.
    In addition, the movie was shot in true widescreen
    and plays in quicktime in 16:9 mode, but when I
    import that .mov file into iMovie HD for some reason
    bars are added on the sides and top and bottom of the
    frame, and the bars are thicker on the sides so it
    stretches the picture and makes everything look
    taller.
    • Make sure you're importing to a DV Widescreen project.
    • It might work to open the Timeline Movie.mov in QT Player Pro and export to a DV stream set to 16:9, then import that to the new project.
    • It's curious solution #1 didn't work. What happened when you tried that?

  • Project/Event update for 10.1.1. = missing projects

    I just updated to 10.1.1. When I started FCPX I selected to allow automatic update. During the process it stated there was an error and to check my Libraries and Events were improted correctly. My Libraries all seem to have imported OK, but my Projects are missing. The files seem to still be under Movies/Finat Cut Projects, so I tried to do a manual import. When I selected to import manually, the Fina Cut Project folder under Movies is greyed out.
    How do I get my projects back in to FCPX 10.1.1?

    I had this same problem. Fiddling fixed it, so here's how I fiddled & fixed:
    Saw in FCPX 10.1.1 the "Updated Projects" item in the Events list (or where I always saw events before. But no projects appeared in the Timeline. "Where da hail did dey go?" I said to myself. Blood pressure rose like 100 points. I read through every online entry I could find. Nothing. Rebooted, ran permissions repair; still nothing. ARRRGH.
    In desperation, I double-clicked "Updated Projects" – because working the twisty triangle didn't do anything.
    Suddenly, something begain to happen. There was a progress bar.  Does this mean actual progress??
    It did! *Voila!* The missing projects appeared in a list. Clicking on the one I wanted opened it in the Project timeline. BOOM.  Fixed.
    Hey, Apple! You might have TOLD us in some really PLAIN way that this was the way to open projects now. Just sayin'. I mean, the amount of hate-posts on forums the world over that have been generated around this one problem is incredible, and it could have been prevented with some simple "Here... do this instead" directions.

    Any ideas on what to do next?
    I'm running and iMac 20-inch  early 2009
    Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

    Step 1
    Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
    Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
    Step 2
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash as well:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.
