My photos dont appear in iphoto

Yesterday I downloaded some 1700 photos from my Android phone to my MacBook Air. I chose to have the photos copied to iPhoto.
Now this morning when I opened iPhoto, it show spaces for where the photos are but only little grey thumbnails and I cannot open a single photo.
The photos on my phone have been deleted and I am very upset.
What did I do wrong and how can I retrieve the missing images? This is what my screen looks like.
Please help, there are very precious and also valuable images here.

Wait a moment...I eventually found a question similar to mine. Problem resolved, repaired the database. All the images are back.

    By memory do you mean free disk space? How much free space do you have? It's strongly recommended that a minimum of 10GB free space be maintained (20 GB if you use iDVD a lot) for optimal system and application performance.
    By searching for thumbnails can you explain further? Do you get a message?

  • Photos not appearing in iphoto after sync

    Some of my imported photos from my iPhone 4 are not showing up in iPhoto.  The import was successful and I deleted them from my phone when prompted.  Could they be somewhere else on my computer?

    I have the similar issue with iPad 2. I initially could view all the photos on the photo gallery via iphoto app, but from a few weeks back I cannot see all the photos shown on the photo gallery via the iphoto app for ipad. I have also got issues with albums created on the photo app which are showing pics from different albums all merged on the iphoto view page. Could someone help?

  • Photo albums appear in iPhoto & iTunes, but NOT iPhone

    Shot a bunch of pics with the iPhone. Imported into iPhoto - those libraries synced with iTunes & now I have five albums that appear in iTunes.
    Selected "Sync photo from iTunes" & checked the "all photos and albums" radio button. Sync progress completes without errors.
    No albums appear on my iPhone.
    Just says "camera roll".
    Why won't the albums sync?

    Try the selected albums options, or the selected events options, and check all the boxes.
    Note that while pics taken on the phone go into the Camera Roll, pics synced from the computer go in the Photo Library.
    Do you have 'albums' or do you have 'events'? By default, iPhoto imports pics as events; albums are manually created in iPhoto. If you have synced 'all photos and albums' checked in iTunes and you have no albums, the photos should still show up in the Photo Library.
    After you sync, what shows up in your Photo Library (with the generic sunflower icon)?
    EDIT: Ok, you tried that. In the Photos app, do you have a Photo Library?
    Also, what version of the iPhone OS and what version of iTunes are you running?
    You might see something like this:

  • Photos not appearing in iPhoto when importing from SD card

    On the first instance of using my camera to import photos to iphoto, I used the SD card reader integral on the new iMACs; this worked fine - all photos appeared, I selected import and there they were. Since then, when I insert the SD card, it appears on the desktop and iPhoto launches. Iphoto then shows all the photos on the card that were previously imported, but not any new photos taken. If I open the SD card itself, the new pictures are there. So, why is Iphoto now not recognising new photos that I've taken?

    Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • New Photos not appearing in iPhoto but are in Show Contents

    Hello,
    I am have a few issues with iPhoto.
    1. My last two imports of photos do not appear.  the Last import is showing photos from back in 2013.  If I Show Contents I can drill down and see in Master, Original a 2014/04/12  & 13 folder with sub folders and all the pictures.  I made a not of the file names and back in Iphoto I tried to search for the image name but it did not retrn any results
    2. I have had to force quit iPhoto 2-3 times in the past two days
    3. Today when I open iPhoto, the Events do not show photo is is a black box.  If I scroll up and down it then shows some photos, like I would nomally see.
    Do this issue seem to indicate a problem with iPhoto, is there an index type issuse.. can I rebuild iPhoto in some way
    For point 1, can i delete the folders in the "Show Content" option and reimport them?
    Thanks

    For point 1, can i delete the folders in the "Show Content" option and reimport them?
    No.  If you know the file name of the photos that are not showing do a search form them with the search tool:
    If the image shows up Control (right) - click on it and select Show Event from the contextual menu.
    If it does'nt kdo the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Iphone photos not appearing in Iphoto

    When I used to plug my Iphone into my Imac, Iphoto started up and my I phone pictures appeared on the screen and I was given the option to import them, or not, into Iphoto; and I thought isn't this easy.
    Now when I plug my Iphone in it still charges like it used to but Iphoto does not appear. If I manually open I photo it acknowledges that the Iphone is plugged in but no photos from my iphone are shown.
    I don't think I have changed any settings.
    Please help!

    Hi,
    Hmm..it should automatically sync your photos. But sometimes, the problem might be from your iPhoto. Check if your iPhoto on both devices is updated. Try restarting your computer too. I think updating the iPhoto on both devices is probably the fix. Try giving it a shot.

  • Photos not appearing on iPhoto when uploading to iDVD, facebook, yahoo

    When I try to put photos on iDVD, Facebook and Yahoo mail, the iphoto continually searches for thumbnails. I have no problem with imovie. The only way I can move photos is if I send them to the desktop. I have searched for the correct settings to trash in my library/preferences, but it does not exist. Memory is getting small, but there seems to be no problem with video on iMovie.

    none of my photos are appearing on iphoto, i only see an exclamation mark when i try to look at them. they were all there one minute and then they disappeared the next, what do i do??

    I rebuilt it using iPhoto Manager and that appears to have worked. I did the rebuild onto a different drive and I'm now working to determine if there is a problem the the external drive that held the corrupted library.

  • Photos sync OK, but when edited in iPhoto,the original photos still appear.

    Photos sync fine to iPhone. However, if I edit (crop) one of these photos in iPhoto, the unedited version still appears on the phone after resyncing. I have tried unchecking the box next to the photo album, then syncing and pulling it completely off the phone. Then I recheck the box and sync the photos back to the phone. The old, unedited versions of the photos still appear on the phone. What to do?? Thanks for your help!!

    I am exporting as a JPG. I think I figured out the problem. In the old iPhoto I could export from the Edit menu. On this new version, I have click on the Photos button and go back to the screen that shows the whole event and export from there.
    It's a pain and much less efficient but it seems to be working.

  • IOS4 photos do not appear in iphoto

    HI!!
    I have an iphone 3g with iOS4. After upgrading, photos taken from my iphone camera or even downloaded from the internet do not appear in iPhoto when I try to sync. I get a blank space with an outlined frame. Any fix? I have all updated software.

    Greetings,
    Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    If the issue persists try importing using the Image Capture program found in the Applications folder.
    If image capture works then try rebuilding your iPhoto Library following this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638. Use the bottom 3 rebuild options.
    If Image Capture does not work then there may be an unreadable picture in the camera roll which is blocking import. See this article for suggestions: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3195
    Hope that helps.
