"No photos in selected Folder" message - but there ARE photos in the selected folder.

LR is not recognizing the photos in the folders.  I click on the question marks to locate the files, select the folder/photos on the external hard drive, and all the previews disapper in LR and it gives me the "no photos in selected folder" error message.  I'm on LR4, Mac.  How do I fix this?

Thanks for the helpful suggestion John.  The selection you mentioned was indeed enabled -- hence the confusion that no images were visible.
After some sleuthing, I figured out that there was a Library Filter (i.e. "Text|Attribute|Metadata|None") in effect for the parent folder and no photos matched the filter criteria. I did not notice that a filter was in effect since the the filter bar was not visible (Keystroke "\" to toggle it).
Perhaps this might suggest a feature request -- Provide a visual cue or warning that filters are in effect.
Come to think of it, if the text had simpy read "No photos match search criteria." rather than "No photos in selected Folder" it would have been clear what was going on.
I wonder if other folks have been bitten by this?

    somehow lost access to my iTunes library.
    What does iTunes have to do with this?   Also more specific information might be helpful.
    What system and iPhoto versions are you running?
    Where are you being asked to select a library?  What kind of library, iPhoto or iTunes?
    What do you see when you first launch iPhoto?

  • Won't get juno mail messages says there are no new messages but there are.

    I installed Thunderbird for my multiple email accounts. Works fine with yahoo, aol, and Gmail. But, it will not get any messages from my web based Juno account. I've double checked all the settings (pop incoming, port 995, smpt outgoing, SSL encryption, etc.) and nothing works. I keep getting a message saying there are no new messages, but there are multiple new messages in the account. It does send.
    Thanks

    Thunderbird connects to mail providers using the POP and IMAP mail protocols. If the provider does not support these protocols (or blocks access to them for certain customers) then Thunderbird can not work with that provider.
    Have you followed these steps
    To begin getting Juno email on your phone or other email program, change your Juno email settings with these simple steps:
    1. Sign in to your Juno Email on the Web at webmail.juno.com
    2. Click on "Options" and select "General," or click on "Settings" and select "POP Mail" under "Preferences"
    3. Select "ON - POP my mail to my desktop/smartphone"
    4. Click "Save" to finish

  • Each time I open iphoto it tells me that there are photos it failed to import but there are never any there

    When I open iphoto it tells me that there are photos it failed to import, I tell it not to import them and it tells me where it has put them- however the recovered folders are always empty.

    Quit or force quit iPhoto.
    Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. By default it is in your Pictures folder.
    Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto lIbrary. Select "show package contents" from the panel, that will pop up.
    Look for a folder named "Importing" or "Import". Remove this folder, but don't touch anything else.
    Then launch iPhoto again.

  • I created a book at the Ibooks author. But there are pages where the number of the page does not appear. How I can solve this problem? I thank you very much for any tip.

    I created a book at the Ibooks author. But there are some pages which the number of page is not visible. What can I do to see the number of the page?

    Have you changed the template?
    Some pages may not have numbers in place as default.  If you have changed the page or the template page, you may have added a object which as pushed the number out of view, or an image may be in a layer on top of the text.
    If you select one object on the page...then go to Edit, select all, you should see the outlines of any content no matter that content may not be seen. Look at the bottom for a page width rectangle outline.. IF its there, you need to shuffle the content until you find that box, and use Arrange > bring to front.

  • I have 8000  photos in my iPhoto library.  Many are duplicated in the "Pictures" folder in the Finder.  Is there an easy way to detect and delete duplicates in the "Pictures" folder?

    Anyone know how to detect and delete duplicate photo files that exist in the Pictures folder in the Finder that are also in the iPhoto library?

    There's no way to compare the photos in the library with those outside the library.  However, as long as you're running a "managed" library
    You can import batches of the photos, i.e by folder, into the library.  If the photo is already in the library you will be given this notice:
    Check that checkbox and clik on the Don't Import button.  When that folder is finished importing (or not) delete it and go to the next.
    If you need to check for duplicates in the library you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.

  • Mail icon shows messages but there are none

    Hi-
    Last night after checking mail and deleting everything (in, sent & trash) the mail icon still has the red dot with a two in it. Any thoughts?
    Did a reset to no avail....

    Okay... Well I think I solved my own issue. There are two ways to delete messages in the messages app. You can swipe to the left, or you can click edit and delete it that way. The latter of which i didn't try as I thought they were synonymous. Turns out that it actually reset the new messages counter, and it now shows as no unread messages. Anyone having similar issues in the future be sure and delete messages using edit then clicking the red icon to the left of the message.

  • SMS icon shows messages but there are none

    Hi to all.
    Yesterday after reived some SMS and read and delete some of them, the SMS icon still has the red dot with a'1' in it. Any thoughts?
    I reset some time but no results..... any idea?

    Complete restore you mean? No!
    There are 6 options:
    - restore settings
    - delete content and settings
    - restore network settings
    - restore keyboard dictionary
    - restore home layout
    - alerts reset position
    Which one you mean?
    And then? Can I return to the initial configuration (apps, contacts, cal) ?
    Thanks

  • When i make search in my old email, when i want to open some of them for a lot i cant. For some no problem. There are emails from the same folder in same dates.

    I search in my email something. When want to open the content from the emails, for some i can but for other i cant.
    Same type of emails, same date, same attachments.

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.

  • Request had transfer data but there are not in the Cube

    Good morning experts;
    I’m using the BI 7009 version (Business Content 7003).
    I just activate the BC from the 0CO_OM_OPA_1 datasource to the 0OPA_C11 infocube. I also had created a infopackage to upload data from R/3.
    The problem is that, in the InfoCube request, the data where transfer but not inserted. Checking the PSA all the status are green.
    What seems to be the problem?
    Regards;
    Ricardo

    Hi Ricardo,
    If you are using the BI version, you have to load the data into the PSA using an infopackage and then from there on you have to create a transformation from the datasource to the info cube and then using DTP(Data transfer protocol) you can load data into the cube.
    With BI the loading is 2 step process unlike that of the older versions where you can load data directly into the cube using an IP.
    Hope this helps you upto some extent.
    Regards

  • I upgraded to 8.1 and now my iphone doesn't appear anymore in the itunes screen. I can see the iphone photos on my computer screen but there is nothing where the device used to show up. I can't back up and I can't see how much storage space is occupied.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe
