Newly imported pictures not appearing in iPhoto '08 Library

So, while I was importing a whole slew of photos today, iPhoto became unresponsive (I think because of two RAW images I inadvertantly left on the camera). I had to force quit iPhoto and when I relaunched it, none of the photos imported show up in my library. They are available if I browse "All Images," but if I try to drag and drop any of them into the iPhoto Library it says they're already there.
Advice?

Never access photos that are managed by iPhoto in your All Images search. It's a good way to damage your Library.
Surefire fix: restore from back up.
Other than that:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Pictures not appearing in iphoto library

I'm using version 2.0.1 of iphoto. Some of the pictures that are in my picture folder will not appear in the photo library. I have "rebuilt" iphoto, but some of the more recent pictures do not appear in the library. Any ideas on what else I could do to get all my photos to appear in the library.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

That's not surprising since iPhoto 2 wouldn't have any way to know anything about photos that haven't been imported into iPhoto. Your Pictures folder isn't the same as your iPhoto Library folder.

IPhoto - When I add new photos to iPhoto from my iMac they do not appear in the "Photos" library. They do appear in Last Import. Any thoughts?

If you are seeing your photos in "Last Import", the photos are somewhere in your library. Perhaps the dates are wrong, and you do not see the photos arranged by date, where you expect them to be.
Select one of the photos on "Last Import", then ctrl-click it and select "Show in Event". That will take you to the event in event view.

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.

Pictures not appearing

Hi, I've just purchased the ilife08 and some of the pictures does not appear on the event/library... there is just a white slashed surrounding!!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.

Why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?

why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto? Within iMovie, it appears as though videos can be imported from the iPhoto library. However, within iPhoto there are no videos that appear within the Library. Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto from a shared photo stream? if not, how can videos be imported into iPhoto?

Newly imported thumbnails not showing previews

Today when I was importing images off a memory card I noticed the thumbnails in library mode were not showing any previews, they were blank (gray) for only the recently imported items. My other folders' thumbnails are showing previews with no issue.
I am working in Lightroom 4. I am using Windows 8 on a HP laptop.
A couple of other notes about what I noticed...
1. In the import screen the thumbnails display the preview.
2. Once the import goes to the Library Mode - thumbnails are blank. Can only see the image number and any symbols indicating tags or changes to the image.
3. Loupe view I cannot get an image to appear.
4. In the Develop Mode if I click on a thumbnail down in the filmstrip (which are all blank) an image will appear in the work area and the filmstrip thumbnail will display a preview of the one I selected. The thumbnail preview will remain visible for a few moments after moving to a new image. Then it just goes blank again.
5. I was importing jpegs and dngs. Having the same problem with both of these today.
6. All the other thumbnails in folders that were in the catalog prior to today are visible and working normally.
I am wondering how to fix this problem of newly imported images not displaying an image in the thumbnail whether it is in Library Mode, Loupe View, or Develop mode.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

I'd delete the preview cache and rebuild - that may help (or it may not).
To do so, exit Lightroom, then delete .lrdata folder alongside .lrcat file.
PS - delete entire .lrdata folder, but do NOT delete .lrcat file or anything else.
(if it has 'Smart Previews' in the filename, don't delete it - just delete the other one).
Then, re-open Lightroom and rebuild previews using Library - Previews menu (optional, but probably worthwhile).
If no better, then you have an system/app problem as opposed to a preview-data problem.

I am unable to import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11 without getting message saying "the file is an unrecognizable format" They are JPG files like always but now i can only import from a CD. What is the fix to this problem?

I have always been able to import pictures from camera to iphoto without a problem. Now, for some unknown reason our iMac and Mac Laptop will not import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11...what is the fix to this problem? It will only accept import from a CD.

Pictures not appearing - sometimes

I am using the x5 version with Word 2003 SP3 and I have been
having issues with some of my pictures not appearing when I
compile. In this project I make a .hlp file and I don't remember if
I have had this issue with the few .chm projects I have. If I use
the Active Test button, my picture appears, but when I make the
final hlp file I end up with the {bmc filename.bmp} link appearing
instead of the picture.
I have played around with inserting another graphic and
moving lines around and there is something really strange in there.
If I insert another graphic, the new one shows up as the {bmc} and
the old one actually shows the picture. If I remove the new
picture, I go back to showing the {bmc} for the old one again.
In other cases I had to move the picture to a particular line
and if there were any blank lines around it I would get the {bmc}
again. I only work on help projects a few times as year, so I do
not remember exactly what I did to get the picture to appear the
last time this happened. I just remember getting it to appear by
putting the picture right next to a certain paragraph and I left it
that way - even though it wasn't the best looking page that way.
Has anyone had anything similar to this happen before? It is
really hard to figure out what is going on and finding and fixing
the missing pictures is a big project. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated!

I too had a similar problem with my winhelp 2000 project. The
images were not getting displayed in the output.
I was told by Mr. Peter Grainge that the images should be
only inserted through the robohelp's New Help Image tool button. It
solved the problem.
As I was adding another word document to the project, I ended
up creating two separate folders for the images from both
documents. Now, when I generated the output the images again went
missing. So, I took a chance by cutting and pasting all the images
in a single folder and presto !! It works. The images are getting
displayed.
Just check whether the folder where ur images are stored lays
in BMROOT. If not, then you have to insert them again.
Enjoy!!

How can I import pictures from aperture into iPhoto

Since moving to mountain lion OSX, I can't find a way for importing pictures from aperture into iphoto. There used to ba a tab under archive in iPhoto where you could view the aperture library and select pictures to import them into iPhoto. This tab has diappeared. Could anyone tell me how it's done now?

I noticed indeed that you can change the library under "archive" in iPhoto but when I choose aperture library I can't find the same structure of albums as in aperture.
Sorry I don't understand this. What is "archive"?

Item pictures not appear does not appear when I sync

Item pictures not appear does not appear when I sync

after looking at a few other posts, i tried the uncheck the sync box, did a sync, rechecked the box, and synced again. the music is now downloading into my phone. if anyone else has this problem try this first.

Since I have iTunes match, why does my iTunes library not appear in iPhoto music options for slideshow?; only songs purchased or placed on iTunes over a year ago appear in the iPhoto library under the iTunes or purchased option.

Yes, I am signed in to iTunes match on the macbook pro, iPhone , & iPad (all updated & correct music libraries) where I bought all the tunes but still no updated tunes on the iPhoto music library after 3 days of being on iTunes match.
Thank you,
