No photos shown in photo viewer

I had to re-install elements 10.
when I go to a folder the thumbnails only show a sea scene. They used to show a thumbnail of the actual photo.
What do I need to do to see the thumbnail photos?

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 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. .

    I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so.  My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album.  After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location.  What am I doing wrong?  I know this should be a simple thing to do.  Thanks

    In the Elements Organizer 13
    The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
    Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
    You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
    Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
    in the line up of thumbnails.
    Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
    Please let us know if that worked for you.
    Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

  • HT204120 My iPhone 5s is stuck with 3948 photos (shown on the iTunes storage bar) on and I can not find a way to delete them all! It's very annoying as it takes up 6.54 GB of space and leaves me no room to add films, music...etc on to it. Please help me!!

    My iPhone 5s (16GB) is stuck with 3948 photos (shown on the iTunes storage bar) on and I can not find a way to delete them all! It's very annoying as it takes up 6.54 GB of space and leaves me no room to add films, music...etc on to it. Please help me!!! I have already tried the numerous articles Apple have sent my way and I am still having no luck.I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could find a solution for me as this has been a problem for almost a year. Thank you.

    If they were put there via iTunes sync process, then simply untick the Music box before syncing again.

  • I can no longer view my photos through th photo icon.  There is not an icon on my "slide to unlock" screen that when touched starts a slide show of my photos.  How do I turn that off so I can access my photos as before?

    Oroilore-
    I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon.  I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off.  The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted.  If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
    One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • How can I go back to the optimized version of the photo after I have viewed it on my iPad?

    Hello,
    The reason why I chose the iCloud services (I'm on a 200GB plan), is that I wanted to be able to have on-demand access to my photo library and view my pictures, without having to store them on the device itself.
    Now It seems like every time I access a picture that is stored on the cloud from my iPad, the original full resolution version of it is downloaded on my device and it stays there. This can cause my iPad's storage to be full by only viewing a few of the albums that I have stored on the iCloud!
    There must be a way to go back to the optimized version of the photo after you've viewed them on your device. Can anyone please help me with that?
    Thanks very much!

  • Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow

    Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow. The fact that the power supply to the computer was accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto no doubt was the cause of this phenom.
    Any suggestions as to how to re-sync the rotations back up?

    Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of the use of theses two keys simultaneously. It occured to me after this post to just trash the whole library which I had just created for this particular group of photos and re-import the photos to a newly re-created library. I still had the camara connected so as it turned out it was fairly easy. Now that I think about it, if this hadn't been a newly created library just for this group of photos it wouldn't have worked so simply, so I guess I discovered another benifit for having multiple libraries.
    I'm glad you recomended the apple/alt key combo though as this knowledge no-doubt will come in handy at some time.

  • File numbers not shown in Photos

    When iPhoto displayed thumbnails the file number was always shown which was useful in selecting a specific image.  The numbers are not shown in Photos. Can I change this?

    When iPhoto displayed thumbnails the file number was always shown which was useful in selecting a specific image.  The numbers are not shown in Photos. Can I change this?
    Photos can display the titles of the photos below the thumbnails. But while iPhoto used the filenames with the file numbers as titles as a default title, if no title had been assigned, Photos does not do that.  Filenames are only shown in the Info panel for a photo. You have to copy the filename to the title filed manually.
    A posted an AppleScript to help with this task as a user tip, see this link:  Photos for Mac: Batch Changing the Titles to the Filename
    For a discussion on how to improve this script, see:  Re: Re: Where are photo file names?

  • When creating a photo book how can I sort the photos shown by file name?

    I am creating a photo book. The photos shown in the right hand column appear out-of-order. How do I sort them by file name? The album in iPhoto the book is based on is sorted by file name.

    You can not - they are soreted by date
    --  the only solution I have seen is to put them in an album sorted the way you and and then use the batch cnage command to redate them with a small invrement between so a data sort matches your desired sort  --  I personally do not want to redate a bunch of my photos nor do i want  to have to go through and un-re- date a bunch
    suggest a change to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Key photo image in Album View too small

    I imported a small Aperture Library into Photos to test things out. One thing I notice is that in Album View, the key photo for a folder is very small.
    Here is an example:
    I have tried making another photo the Key Photo, and switching back. They are always small. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I don't consider this a feature request. In the default Photos library, the key photo in Album view fills the whole square. But for a library that was created from an Aperture library, the key photo does not fill the whole square.
    Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to make the key photo larger?

  • Shared albums not shown in Photos for Mac

    I upgraded my iPhoto library to Photos yesterday and the main photo content migrated fine. I have two OS X devices - a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini.
    On my MacBook Pro, if I enable the sidebar in Photos, I see:
    Photos
    Shared
    Activity
    <Other shared albums - both my own and from another iCloud user>
    Albums<Various Albums>
    On my Mac Mini, I only see:
    Photos
    Albums<Various Albums>
    So Photos on the Mac Mini is not picking up on existing shared albums. If I go to View | Shared it prompts me to "Start Sharing" (as if I haven't done this before). If I click Start Sharing and then create a test album the sharing dialog just vanishes after I select and email address to share with.
    Anybody else seeing this? Any ideas?

    Ok. I followed another suggestion and tried restarting the computer. It seemed to bring up the libraries. At first, I saw no pictures from the shared photos as they reported zero photos when they came up. However, leaving it open for a while seemed to bring back more and more of the libraries, and that was only after restarting the computer a 2nd time. I did get almost all my shared photos back, but each time it seems to stop and not bring all the photos back. I'll try restarting another time as it seems to be the big thing here.
    The syncing activity in Yosemite seems to have some internal limit, where it stops attempting to grab photos from the stream and/or share, and then Photos only tries looking again after a computer restart, not a restart of the application.

  • Organizing photos in a traditional view

    I am an ex-PC user and I have pretty much filed all of my images chronologically, similar to:
    Pictures/2007-Present/2007/October/DCA/DSCF2683.JPG
    or
    Pictures/2008/March/DSCF2777.JPG
    I have thousands of images to go through and importing them in to iPhoto would be ideal I'm sure. However, I'm very apprehensive about this because iPhoto doesn't readily (seemingly) allow me to edit / organize my photos in this "folder view" format. Even putting the view aside, it doesn't let me put images where I would like them to be, in subfolders, like in a "windows explorer." I'm very unfamiliar with the software. I dislike the idea of "Albums" because I can't seem to create "subalbums" if that makes any sense? Can someone help me accomplish this?

    iPhoto has infinite flexible for organization
    Events are the basic (for free) organization and where the Photos actually exist
    then you can add keywords so you can quickly find any photo so build Smart albums automatically
    And you can manually move photos into albums (no space penalty since albums are virtual - they point to the photos in the events)
    And then you can have folders which contain multiple albums
    Plus you can have photos ratings
    As to putting them where you want - no data base does that - if you want to be the organizer then the finder (it is like windows explorer but more powerful and easier to use) is just fine and lets you control everything - and with spotlight you have better search than Windows but NOTHING like iPhoto
    Give iPhoto a try with a small data base and remember that you are no longer the database operator - you are the user and iPhoto is there to assist you in finding photos -it organizes for you - you use it to find the photos (a different approach than you are used to in Windows)
    If you really want to the the database manager then iPhoto is not the right program for you because you will constantly be fighting it and just get frustrated - use it as a photo database and you will learn to love it.

  • Location not shown on photos on ipad 4

    location not shown on photos on ipad

    What model of iPad is it, wifi-only or wifi-plus-cellular, and have you got Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Camera set 'on' ? Only cellular models have a built-in GPS chip, for a wifi-only iPad to potentially be able to record location details on a photo it needs to be connected to a wifi-network, and that network needs to be in Apple's database

  • Why can't I see recently uploaded photos in my grid view?  I have to click on the hourglass image to see each photo individually.

    Until recently, each time I upload photos from my camera or other source, I've been able to see the thumbnails in my "grid" view.  However, the most recent uploads only appear as hourglass thumbnails.  When I click on each thumbnail, the photo appears, but when I return to the grid view, only the hourglass thumbnails of the recently loaded photos show.  Photos loaded earlier appear as normal thumbnails in the grid view.
    Help!!

    If you want to control the size of the photos select them in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder using the various size options available during export - then attach to your e-mail from the folder

  • Can't see event titles or project titles when looking at photos in the photo view in Aperture 3?

    Howdy,
    I recently switched from iPhoto 11 to Aperture 3. The only drawback so far is I am unable to view Project Titles when I am viewing all of my photos in the photo view. In iPhoto, I often would look at all of my photos in photo view while displaying the event titles. Is this possible in Aperture? Also, is there a simple way to view the file names underneath the photos in photo view instead of seeing the version name?

    Hi Greg.  Welcome to Aperture and the Apple Aperture users forum.

    You should set up all seven of the Metadata Overlays to meet your needs.  (iPhoto is designed as a turn-key operation for those who prefer their meals prepared; Aperture is a kitchen for those who like to cook.)

    Have you looked at Projects View (click "Projects" at the top of the Library tab of the Inspector)?  You can group your Projects by Folder or by Year, and you can sort them in a number of ways.  There is no information pane which shows up on Aperture as you scroll (as there is in iPhoto).
    Projects View, imho, add tremendous functionality to Aperture.  You can add descriptions to your Projects (and these are included in searches) via the Projects Information window ("{Shift}+i" with a Project selected.)
