MobileMe gallery shows thumbnails but no photos

I uploaded/Backedup some photos to MobileMe Gallery a while back, and now that I've moved my account to icloud I want to grab those photos to store on my mac. However when I go to view in thumbnail I can see them but then I click to open and MobileMe informs me that they are no photos is this gallery?
Any thoughts people?
Oh and my HD failed so originals are unfortunately gone for good.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards

I use an external hard drive to sync photos
I have no idea what that statement means. Please explain
If your iPhoto library resides on an external drive what format is it?

Pre Lion iPhone videos show Thumbnail but can't play - new video generates Unsupported Video Format popup, no thumb but will play via quicktime

This is really frustrating -
Over the last year I have been uploading all of my photos and occasional iPhone video to Aperture 3 (latest version all patches in place).    Aperture would recognize the video, create a thumbnale and otherwise treat it nicely.
Now, since upgrading to Lion I find that though I can "see" the old videos in their folders or projects and the associated Thunbnale, I can't play them - I either get the spinning color wheel and then nothing or Aperture will crash and report an error relating to Quicktime (sorry don't have an error code at the moment).
If I try and export a video I can - but what I get also can't be played by Quicktime - just a black screen. When I hit Play - the scroll bar moves, but there is no sound or video.
From Final Cut Pro X, I can imoprt this exported video file and see that it appears complete - but FCPX uses it's own playback elements.
If I shoot a new video on my iPhone, I find that I can see the thumbnale in the import option of Aperture when looking at the phone, but once imported I get a Popup telling me that it is an "Unsupported Video Format" - "Do you want to open this video clip with QuickTIme Player?"   If I hit Open then the clip does play, but the thumbnale remains a black square with the warning Exclamation Point.
I have also had some issues with Lion Mail crashing when trying to play a video made on an iPhone and sent to me via email.   Seems more likley to be a Lion / Quicktime issue then an Aperture and Mail issue - but who knows.
I spent 2.5 hours of quality time with the Genius bar this morning. We reinstalled Lion and after that the suggestion was to trash and re-install Aperture, but that would require my disc and of coruse a trip home.   Mail doesn't seem to still have the issues with iPhone movies that it had - but Aperture is still not happy.
Did as instructed and dragged Aperture 3 to the trash, did the empty trash option, restarted and reinstalled.   Then did a software update to catch the new update for Aperture and it found that.   Interestingly when I did start it up after that it DID NOT ask me for my key - so clearly some elements were left over.
Now upon retstarting Aperture 3 once again I find that I can still see my old movies (their thumbnails show up) but I still can't play them.   The new test movie is there but still generates the popup regarding it being an Unsupported Video Format.
And it's not just my iPhone.   Video sent via email from another iPhone can play as an attachment, or when dragged and dropped to the desktop, but once imported into Aperture is once again proclaimed to be an Unsupported Video Format.
Hoping someone out there knows how to resolve this....

For some reason it just started to work now. Have no idea what didn't work before.

Bionic Photo Gallery show friends on facebook photos, How do I turn off?

I just upgraded from the Droid X to the Bionic I liked my X and thought that the widgets would be similar, they weren't. One widget I liked on the X was the photo gallery. On the Bionic it defaults to show my facebook contacts photo uploads. As much as I appreciate my friends photos, I do not want to see them on my phone photo gallery. I would prefer my own pictures instead. I unchecked facebook friends photo update and it still displays them. How can I fix this? Some of my friends are oil field workers and can be quite crude when it comes to the photos they upload.

the widget is blank. I would like for my pictures to be there. right noe the only way for me to see my pictures is to go to Camera roll. On my droid X i could see my pictures in a slideshow there.
The widget has a option to select what folder you want to attach to it, try removing it and place it back, it usually ask what folder you want to display it the widget and once you select the one you want this should resolve this..

Thumbnail but no photo?

Hi,
there are some photos for which I seem to have only the Thumbnail but not the actual photo. Is there are way to fix this? I am not sure whether the photos were deleted or something is corrupted.
In case it might help, after reading a previous post I tried to rebuild the iPhoto library but I am having also a problem with this. I followed the instructions, that is I opened iPhoto holding down the command and option keys, and the first thing to do was to do a backup of the iPhoto library. I did that (at the same time as checking that the oldest backup available had the Thumbnails but not the photos). Now when I try to rebuild the iPhoto library opening iPhoto as before, the workspaces get cleared of all open applications, but the repair dialog does not pop up anymore. What should I do?
Thanks!

I am not clear on what youy have or what you did
there are some photos for which I seem to have only the Thumbnail but not the actual photo.
What exactly does this menan? Why do you conclude that you have only the Thumbnail but not the actual photo?
The rebuild the steps are
1 - Back up your iPhoto library,
then 2 - Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto
then 3 - rebuild your iPhoto library
And this is not clear either - exactlhy how did you determine this?

How do I only show thumbnails in the photo gallery without showing the Main Image?

Hello,
I need help customizing the Spry Photo Gallery Demo...
I would like for the Main Image To Be Hidden when the html
page loads. After the user clicks the thumbnail, I would like to
have the Main Image load centered on the page(with div containing
close button) on a z-index above the thumbnails. While the
thumbnails layer has a fade effect to 10%. After the user clicks
the close button the Main image disappears and the thumbnails layer
fades back to 100%. Then the user can click another thumbnail and
so on and so forth...
Is this possible? I have tried everything I can think of with
my limited knowlege of spry and cant get it to work. I just need
help with the Large image part. The close button and fades I can
handle.
Any help would be most appreciated. Please let me know if
further information is needed from me. Thank you in advance.

There is a third-party program called Attachment Tamer that will do that for you. In the Terminal, you can type this:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
Also note that while Attachment Tamer does some things with the encoding that makes certain email clients display the item as an attachment, what shows up at the receiver's end is solely dependent on their email client and its settings.

Making a lightbox photo gallery with thumbnails for 100+ photos

I have been trying to make the above (all is in an accordion). I started by merely using a thumbnail slide show, but that didn't work because I couldn't organise the thumbnails into multiple pages. So my solution was to first put a multiple page tooltip composition setup with position on lightbox, transition on horizontal and hide all intially unchecked. Then, within each tooltip slide I placed a lightbox slide show with 9 pictures. This way, there are multiple pages with 9 thumbnails on each, and clicking on one shows the enlarged picture. This presented 3 problems, which I need help to solve.
1) Appearance in design mode doesn't reflect appearance in browser preview. In design, everything is aligned and looks good, while in preview in browser it doesn't:
2) Upon clicking on thumbnail, the preview is behind the thumbnails:
3) Intially (in preview in browser) one must click on a target to show the tool tip slides.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
P.S: Also, my slideshow on the home page doesn't show in preview in browser mode, if you help with this it would also be aprecciated.

Hi
Please check if thumbnails are placed in target container , as if thumbnails are placed in container then image with lightbox will also show the triggers.
If still same issue, please share the site url.
Thanks,
Sanjit

IWeb Media browser shows video but not photos

I just recently discovered that iWeb is not displaying photos on the photo tab, but it is displaying videos on the photo tab.
It is ALSO showing the videos on the video tab.
Any recommendations?

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.
A workaround until you get the problem solved is to use iMedia Browser. It's a free, 3rd party version of media browser that will list all movies (in iPhoto or the Movies folder) along with all photos and audio files. Just select and drag from iMedia Browser's window into iWeb.

Thumbnails but no photos after transferring to new iMac - How to Fix?

When I recently got a new iMac, I transferred all my files from my old Mac to my new computer. I use iPhoto Buddy to create separate libraries for different members of our family and for different years. My iPhoto libraries for 2008 and 2007 transferred successfully. But for several thousand photos in earlier libraries, I have the thumbnails in the appropriate library, but when I click on the thumbs there is no photo connected to them. The strange things is that the thumbs work for some of the photos, but the vast majority in the older libraries have no photo connected to the thumbs. Is there a way to fix the libraries all at once? Or must I do it one by one? Either way, I don't know how to do it. Would greatly appreciate help.

You transfer photos from your computer to your iPhone with iTunes - selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

HT4007 Thumbnails but no photos in Browser view

I have upgraded to aperture 3.4 and when I import files from a memory card or cd in Browser view, the thumbnails are black. If I switch to Split view and make a tiny adjust, the thumbnail displays correctly?

What is your MacOS Version? This signature cannot be correct: iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
When you upgraded to Aperture 3.4, did you experience crashes, and if yes, how did you fix them?
If I switch to Split view and make a tiny adjust, the thumbnail displays correctly?
Your thumbnails may not be rendered correctly, try to generate them again.
Select the images that need new thumbnails in the Browser
Go to Aperture's main menu bar: Photos > Generate thumnails
This should bring the thumbnails back.
It should not be necessary to do this. Have you imported so many images, that Aperture still has not finished processing your imported images
by now?
Also, you may have a slight corruption in your Aperture library. I'd recommend to use the "Aperture 3 Library First Aid Tools" to repair your Aperture Library, just in case. This is always a good precaution before upgrading software or after a crash.

Portrait oriented photos are not sync'ed to MobileMe gallery

I've tried to upload some pictures of an event to my MobileMe account:
I've selected the photos, clicked on MobileMe and selected the option to allow downloads.
The photos get synced but those photos that were originally taken in portrait mode (and autorotated by the camera or iPhoto) didn't show up in my MobileMe gallery! Also, those missing photos are still flagged as "not yet sync'ed" in the iPhoto preview of the shared gallery. If I disable the option to allow downloads, all photos are uploaded correctly.
Interestingly, it does not help to rotate the portrait photos to landscape mode, they still don't get synced. And landscaped photos that are rotated to portrait are synced normally. It only affects those photos that were originally taken in portrait mode.
(In case it helps: I used a Canon EOS 450D to take those pictures.)
Best regards,
RaCha

RaCha2:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There should be no problem using autorotated photos in a web gallery. This test gallery is composed entirely of auto-rotated photos from a Canon SD700 and all uploaded and displayed as expected. .
First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and publish again. Next, if needed, launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
You don't want to convert to gifs as they only support 256 colors and would make your photo look poorly.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I have an iPad2. Trying to use the cams connection kit. When I plug in the connector and turn the camera on my iPad opens photos and shows cams at the top but no photos show up??? Help

When the camera connector is plugged in and I turn on the camera the iPad opens photos and camera shows up but no photos come through. Help????

Try switching from Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) [Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.] to Mass Storage Device Mode or vise versa on the camera.
Or use the camera's SD card.

Icons disappear in MobileMe gallery?

Hi all,
Here's a little strangeness! I upgraded to latest iPhoto, have the latest Leopard, brand new MacBook Pro 17, etc.
Sometimes I put movies (professionally made from Final Cut Pro) in iPhoto and bring them into a MobleMe gallery. Very easy, convenient way to post approvals for clients, etc. This has always worked well. Email the link to client, they click and see QT movie. Voila!
All of a sudden, I'll post 2 or 3 movies to a new MobileMe gallery - they look fine, the link works well - they look fine on the internet - EXCEPT THEN, MAGICALLY - they'll disappear from the Mobileme gallery page in iPhoto!!! The page is blank!
The movies are still on the website they were sent to - but the "design" page in iPhoto shows nothing is there?? This just started happening - perhaps it's coincidental with my upgrading to 8.02 in iPhoto? Anyone else have this issue . . . all am I all by myself out here Lonely feeling! So I trashed the iPhoto prefs, repaired disk permissions, rebuilt entire library, restarted - and started over making a brand new mobileme gallery page with 4 movies. Again, they finished publishing, perfect on the web and **** - did it again - the icons just disappeared from the mobileme gallery page. (But they're still on the web.)
Anybody have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Larry

Thank you, Old Toad! You've helped me before. Actually I did rebuild the library - my first post I believe I mentioned all that. But - look at this, Apple answered me. They are able to recreate the same problem there, so it looks like, I guess, I've found a real live BUG. Hard for me to believe thousands of others aren't running into the same issue. I've never actually used iMove before, as we always use Final Cut. But, here's what Apple just wrote me this morning . . .
Larry
Dear Larry,
Thank you, the description you posted in Discussions clarified the issue, please note though that the "page" you took a picture of is not a page but is the main window of iPhoto itself, and with the description I had before I was merely looking at your Gallery itself on the web at http://gallery.me.com/larrycohen3 which all looks just fine.
Following your description though I easily recreated the behavior in multiple test MobileMe accounts with iPhoto 8.0.2, and we appreciate your taking the time to bring this behavior to Apple's attention.
I've provided the details of your report to the MobileMe Engineering team. As always, the Engineering team appreciates feedback as part of its efforts to resolve issues and improve the MobileMe experience. Apple won't contact you again about this issue unless we have questions about the information you provided.
While the engineers explore possible solutions to this issue in iPhoto 8, as a workaround use the Gallery management tools on the web to manage your published albums that include movies in them after publishing. To access this page on the MobileMe site:
1. Open Safari or Firefox and visit www.me.com and log in.
2. Click the Gallery button at the top of the page, it looks like a sunflower.
3. View and manage your albums on the resulting page. The direct link is:
http://www.me.com/gallery
Thank you again for bringing this to Apple's attention and we apologize for any inconvenience it may cause.
If you need assistance with a different MobileMe issue in the future, please visit our website to find answers to common questions, and if necessary, submit a question to Apple by filling out the web form at this site, live chat support experts will be happy to assist at any time:

Aperture and MobileMe Gallery

I have a website which was created in Aperture and uploaded to my MobileMe Gallery some time ago. Since upgrading to version 3 it seems that the gallery has lost its link with the Aperture Album. The MobileMe gallery shows 'Sync with Aperture' in the info window but the Gallery does not show in the MobileMe Gallery Section of Aperture.
Is there anyway I can re-link the Gallery and Aperture manually?
Thanks,
Chris

No one able to offer any insight to this issue?

Corrupt iPhoto Library? iPhoto starts but no photos window opens?

When I start iPhoto the program looks like it starts, the top menu bar show up but no photos show up. No window opens at all. I can see that all my photos are in the library in the Masters folder. From doing a bit of reading it sounds like my library might be corrupt, but I can't seem to do the rebuild action on the library. I try to open iPhoto by holding down the option and command key while opening the program, but it does not give me the option to rebuild the library like the instructions say at. Nothing happens. I do have everything backed up, but the photos are there just the library doesn't seem to be working. I'm using an Intel 2 Dual Core, 2 GB RAM, OS10.6.8 with iPhoto v. 9.2.3. How can I get iPhoto to open the library again?

It sounds more like that the iPhoto window is lost in one of the window switching modes on OSX rather an a problem with the Library. Try use the All WIndows command to see if you can find. Check your system preferences for that.
