Not seeing all photos in library

I have iphoto 11 on a new macbookpro mid2012. In the setup procedure I transferred my old photo library to my macbook pro.
There are photos in my library ( looking in MASTERS directory in the finder) that do not show in the iphoto application. They do show in Events or  Photos.
If I rebuild using the Rebuild Photo Library procedure, will I recover the the photos so that I will be able to see them in iphoto.
thanks

Then...
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

    Trouble With Syncing Mac Photo Stream to iPhone

  • Not seeing all photos in iPhoto, but all appear in Aperture

    I just updated to Mountain Lion and updated iPhoto and Aperture.  I noticed, and had a slight heart attack, that only 5000 of my 51000 photos were shown in iPhoto!  I then opened Aperture and happily see all 51000 photos.  I am using the same iPhoto libray and not sure if there is some setting that I am missing on iPhoto that is hiding a majotity of my pictures.  I need to have both applications access the same library, I use Aperuture and my Wife uses iPhoto.  Any sugesstions on what I may have done wrong?

    Are you using Stacking in Aperture?

  • I do not see all photos exist inside a shared photo stream using iPhoto on Mac

    There is a shared photo stream among 5 different users with 125 photos and videos inside. For my account I use 3 different devices to access this photo stream, an iMac, an iPad and an iPhone. All 125 photos appear ok on my iPad and my iPhone. However when I access this stream from iPhoto on my iMac I only see 69 of them. None of the photos I have shared using my accound are there plus some other photos and videos shared by other users. Other users can see all 125 photos in their mobile devices. What is wrong with iPhoto on my iMac?
    Thanks in advance,

    OSX version 10.8.5
    iPhoto version: 9.4.3
    With these versions you cannot see the contents posted on IOS 7.0.4 devices by the persons invited to the stream. You will only be able to see the photos streamed by the owner.
    If you want to see the photos added by the subscribers to the stream, you need to upgrade to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1. Mt. Lion does not support the new shared photo streams of IOS 7.0.4 fully.

  • Not seeing all photos in Project

    I have one project that shows all photos contained in the albums below it, but another project does not. How can I fix this?

    I have a similar problem where I have several projects that the photos are not shown. If I show project info it shows the number of photos that should be there; however I can not see any in the project?
    I can find the photos in finder in the location I told Aperture to store the files.
    The project was in tack and viewable when the photo's were imported, and at some point they are missing?
    It is not a filter or tag, I have been through that route, and this set to "all photos".
    I have approximately 35,000 photos that are in about 40-50 projects.
    I am currently disappointed in the performance of the file system of Aperture, and the fact that I have been plagued with crashes and lost files.
    Any help appreciated,

  • IMovie not seeing all photos

    Hello all. I am new to the Apple forum and i'm hoping to find help with iMovies. Would anyone know why iMovies wont see all the photos on my iPhone? I have 4 folders with different photos and every time I click on a folder it shows the same pictures all the time. This only happens in iMovies. Thank you for your help

    Dave Sawyer wrote:
    I'm confused. You refer to "iMovie" which is a movie editing application that is only available for Mac OS X, but your profile says that you have Windows 7. Could you please explain more clearly what it is you have and what you're trying to accomplish? Otherwise it's going to be difficult for anyone to offer much in the way of useful advice.
    Regards.
    your wrong apple released a version for iPhone last year along with the iPhone 4 I think it can only be used on the iPhone 4 and its 4.99 in the application store..

  • ITunes does not see all photos

    I have found several posts related to this and none have helped. I have an iPad 2 and a windows 7 PC and while I can see the folders I have selected in iTunes the count of photos in those folders is incorrect. I have tried about everything I could find here. All the photos are .jpg and have that extension. I tried the delete photo cache trick, I have removed and resynced the photos. iTunes seems to sync what it sees but as an example in one folder iTunes says there are 28 photos when there are actualy 44, all the same format, most from the same camera. I have several other floders that sync and almost all of them have an incorrect photo count on the iTunes interface. Another odity is that when I check the include vidios box iTunes tells me there are 7 more items in that same folder but there is only one video in that folder so I sure don't know what it is looking at. This all seem rediculiously complicated. Any suggestions?

    I had the problem...firgured my issue out. When I looked at the differences it appears as though itunes wants to know what type of file you have. In other words you need to have the extension. I looked at my photos and the photos itunes saw all had the .jpg or .tif. I exported the files I wanted on the phone, since renaming them didn't change the file name, looked in the finder to make sure that the .jpg was on the file and reimported and boom sync'd perf.
    good luck

  • Can not See All of my Music Library on the play list

    I accidently moved my music library (My documents/My music/my itunes...)
    When I moved it back, iTunes does not see all the song (over 2000). It only see the purchased music. I can use the Add to Library function (In the File menu) and add each song, song by song and I have added a few dozen songs back to the play list. So all the music is there, in the directory, Just can not get iTunes to recogize them.
    ANY suggestions to adding the whole library back at once.
    Thanks

    Do you at least have the little ! (exclamation point) next to the "missing" songs?
    I just had the same thing happen to me, but mine occurred simply by upgrading to the latest version of iTunes... in the process it "lost" about half of my music.
    I simply unchecked "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" under prefrences/advanced tab.. hit "OK", then went back in and re-checked it, hit OK and iTunes began "organizing" my library and miraculously iTunes found all of the missing music.
    There are some decent articles about moving your iTunes library on the support site. They don't always work as advertised, but you're pretty much stuck with My Documents/My Music/iTunes on Windows.
    You may be able to reverse things by following those instructions as well.

  • Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

    Hi peeps.
    why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder,  select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files??? 
    all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto??  conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here?  Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.  So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
      help please.

    We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
    Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.
    If you're interested in your Photos then this workflow
    The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
    means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
    You could just move the whole Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Can not sync all photos in Aperture into Iphone 5

    I can not sync all photos in Aperture into Iphone 5. It always can sync some photos into 5. Then finish and prompts: "itunes can not synchronize (other)thousands of projects, and see more information in itunes".  That means most of my photos can not seen on Iphone 5, it seems just can't import to 5. Is that the problem of Iphone or the pictures in Aperture, or even just because lack of sufficient space?

    Same issue.  Doesn't see Dreamweaver.

  • I subscribed to a photo stream in iPhoto but I'm not seeing any photos

    I'm using iPhoto 9.6 on a Macbook using Yosemite.  Someone shared a photostream with me.  I subscribed (using Yosemite) without any errors but I'm not seeing any photos.  I've confirmed with the person who created the photostream that there are photos in it (I've seen them first hand).  I've had this issue before on Mavericks so .  Anyone seen this before?  Any idea how to solve?

    Not occurring for me, but you could try this:
    This solved my question by adamnash on Oct 19, 2014 6:52 PM
    Solution:
    I took a brute force approach:
    - I quit iPhoto
    - I launched Settings, went to iCloud, turned off Photo
    - I launched iPhoto
    - I verified that iCloud was off
    - I quit iPhoto
    - I went back to Settings, went to iCloud, turned on Photo
    - I launched iPhoto
    It's now synching all the albums, although the one I published while in this broken case seems to have now disappeared.

  • Photo App does not display all photos

    Running iOS 7.0.4 on an iPhone 4S. The new Photo App does not display all photos properly. All photos show up as thumbnails. However, when you tap on some of them, only a blank page is displayed. The rest is fine. This issue started after the upgrade to iOS 7. Is this a bug? Hardware-related?

    Upon closer inspection it appears that the missing photos are in a folder called IPhoto Library.  This folder is greyed out when I choose the import folder.
    When I use 'show package contents' it reveals the missing photos (below).  Why is my iphoto library so scrambled!  Thanks for any insight.

  • Iphoto 11/Part of Ilife does not display all photos in "photos" or "events"

    I am running latest version of everything, just loaded ILife. Iphoto 11 does not show "ALL" photos when I use "photo" or "event" view. It shows some....when I cycle down through the Blank images in these views, it will often show the pictures as I mouse click down.....but as soon as I take my finger off the mouse, everything (well, almost everything) reverts to blanks.
    There is nothing selected to be hidden.
    I have "Faces" set up and now when i look through an individual "Face" file, there will be intermittent Blanks.
    Very screwy, anybody Help????

    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, faces and places 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.
