Okay, so now I cannot view photos

Trying to put up a web with photos has been a challenge....I get it but yet I don't. All I want to do is share some kids sports photos with other team members....
Can't seem to get the album I created in iphoto to transfer to a group or .mac site.....and then when I go back to trying to open a photo for editing in iphoto it will not open....I just get a square with a dotted line and exclamation point....
This cannot be this hard....

NicknMadison:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you at any time rename or move any of the image files or folders inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder?
The exclamation point means that iPhoto has lost the path to the full sized image file inside the Originals folder. Normally rebuilding the library does not fix it. I'd try it any way by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the option for the database and orphaned files.
Do you know if those problem photos are just those that have been edited? If so select them and choose the Photos->Revert to Original menu option. That may get them back.
If none of those fixes work you may be looking at starting a new library and importing the Originals folder from the old library.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Downloaded the recent update, now I cannot sync photos nor view my photos on my phone.

    Downloaded the recent update, now I cannot sync photos nor view my photos on my phone. Push the photo app button and it pops up then off.

    Try this:
    First create an empty folder...no photos in it...now, connect your phone and under the photos tab select sync photos & select this folder. Since there is nothing in it, no photos will be added to your phone, but hopefully this will remove the photos that are on your phone.

  • Cannot view photos in the stream on iPhone 6 but can with my other 4 iOS devices

    I just purchased an iPhone 6 and the setup  smooth but one thing..photo stream.  I can take pictures and they go in the stream and I can view from my other iOS devices but I cannot view photos taken with other devices on the iPhone 6. All use the same iCloud ID.

    Hi JinnaWinkas,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try these steps first if the Photo Stream on one of your PCs is not updating:
    you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Photos will not be able to send or receive updates to My Photo Stream. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your PC, Mac, or iOS devices.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, and click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Make sure that iCloud Photos or Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel. Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
    Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

  • LR 3.6 cannot view photos in film strip in Library mode.  Can view photos on Develop setting.

    On LR 3.6 I cannot view my photos on the film strip in the LIBRARY setting.  On DEVELOP I can view on photo at a time on the film strip (the rest of the photos are not viewable).  This is a new problem which has only occured on the last two imports. 

    Sounds like a corrupted preview cache.  Close LR and find the catalog on the hard drive.  Rename the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) - don't touch the lrcat catalog file.  Then open LR and see if the previews reappear.  If they do, select all in Grid view tonight when you go to bed and go to Library menu > Previews > Render Standard Sized Previews - it take a long time so it's worth running overnight.  If everything looks good in the morning, you can delete the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) that you renamed earlier.

  • Cannot view photo album

    Ever since downloading the 4.0.1 update, i cannot view the pictures in my photo album. it shows the number of pictures (87) but the screen is black. any one have any idea?!

    If this is for the photos that were transferred from your computer, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting Apply and a sync. This will remove all photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your computer. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos followed by a sync to retransfer the photos to your iPhone.

  • Cannot view photos or images on phone - N97

    Hope someone can help me but I am having trouble viewing my photos taken on the N97 in the photo viewer.
    They are on the phone as I can transfer to my pc ok just not view them on the phone.
    I have also copied some images to the N97 using the Nokia PC Suite and I cannot view them on the phone either.
    As you can imagine this is really annoying, can't even change my wallpaper  
    Any suggestions welcomed.
    Thanks Nige.

    I have the same problem I copy some pictures into the phone under the "Images" folder and I can not see them at all.  I created a sub-folder Pictures and still no luck.
    I just don't get it, one of the reasons for not getting an Iphone is because I hate Itunes and the fact that you can only copy stuff through Itunes.
    Is it that hard to see pictures in any folder or subfolder on your phone?   I can see the pictures with the File Manager (under Office)  but only one at a time which is so annoying.  The same happens with the Videos.
    Come on nokia, how come the simpliest things are not working.
    I already spoke to my network and they will come back to me in 48 hr, if they can not fix some basics issues (like signal problems, or things like this)   I will be returning my phone very soon and probably canceling my contract and everything.

  • I cannot view photos and videos from my Iphone 4 on Iphoto.

    I just purchased a new Iphone 4 last week. When I connect it to my computer it recognizes there are photos and videos there but I cannot view them or import them. Can anyone advise?

    Hello evanbn. I can help you with figuring out how to view your pics and music. Have you attempted to connect your device to your PC and view the files? Were you ever able to view your pics and music on your phone using your SD Card? 
    If you are unable able to view the files on your PC or your phone the SD Card could be corrupted or the files could have been erased. Do you recall re-formatting the SD Card? This erases all saved data. I hope this information helps!

  • Purchased movies on my ipad now i cannot view them

    I purchased movies thru itunes and watched them in the past. Now for some reason when I try and watch a movie I get a message that tells me You do not have permission to access the requested resource.
    Whats that all about?
    When I click on videos it shows all my movies that I have purchased. They don't show the cover picture just a white square box with a screen in the middle and the name of the movie underneath it. So they are there I just cannot view them. It seems I know longer have permission....whatever that is.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Click on the device when it is connected to iTunes then under setup, specify which movies to sync.

  • Cannot view photos from Zire 71 Handheld

    Hi,
    Newby here
    I'm having trouble with viewing photos from my handheld, the "Photo" option doesn't appear on Photo Desktop.
    The expansion card is empty (when viewing My Pictures on Windows).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Post relates to: Zire 71

    What version of Palm Desktop are you using?  Was it installed from the Installation CD that came with the device, or downloaded from Palm.com?
    If you're using the download, it often does not come with the Media/Photo conduits included.  Best bet is the version on the CD.

  • I loaded 4.0 and now I cannot view any videos. Flash player causes Firefox to stop responding.

    I am running XP. I recently loaded Firefox 4.0 on my system.
    There were a lot of problems loading some web sites. Your help system suggested to disable all plugins. I did this and I don't have problems with web sites anymore but I cannot view any videos. I have tried reinstalling Adobe Flash but it just causes Firefox to stop responding.

  • I cannot view photos on my ipod after syncing from imac 10.9.5

    I have a 5th generation ipod, 80gb. I have synced to my late 2012 imac 10.9.5 and am unable to see photos. It says cannot sync as file can't be found. My music has all synced but I just see blank squares for photos, is this an incompatibility issue?

    i took my ipod on vacation where it became very important I be able to dowload my pictures to the ipod in order to clean out the 1gig card. To my dismay my ipod crashed after about 90 pictures and the only way I could reset the IPOD was to let all the battery run out by keeping it on until it discharged. I then began to download 30, 40, 50 at a time and once in a while it crashed and would not let me see the previous rolls i had saved. Once again i discharge the ipod and the rolls reappeared once i recharged it. I'm dissapointed with this feature as I was really hoping it would be easier to use it as a storage device for photos.
    I have a 5G 60Gb Ipod. Using the Apple camera
    connector I have successfully uploaded 59 pictures
    from my Sony Cybershot camera. While transferring
    the pictures it showed a thumbnail. However now
    under Import Photos, Roll#x, there are only Delete
    Roll and Cancel Options. There is no Browse Option
    as indicated in the Apple Support.
    The pictures do upload to my computer when I connect
    my Ipod but I would like the reassurance of being
    able to view the photos I have transferred in the
    field before wiping my camera memory

  • Cannot view photos in iPhoto 09

    I have iLife 09 and am new to the Mac world. I am wondering why iPhoto will not allow me to see pictures I was once able to. I used some of my photos in iMovie and iDVD, and they worked just fine. I went back in to view the pictures and edit them for something else and there was a huge exclamation mark instead of the picture. I can see the picture when I open the event but when I try and open the picture there is nothing there.
    Anyone heard of this before?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The exclamation mark occurs when iPhoto loses the link to the original file. As long as you're running a managed library, i.e. photos are copied into the library upon import, run the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    2. Open the library package like this.
    3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

  • I cannot view photos in my albums in the finder window

    This is a repost since my original post was over a month ago and I did not reply to any of the responses to my question.
    I have my photos stored on an external drive (i don't even recall how i set that up), but here is my issue. When I try to view the photos in the Finder window (or use them as attachments) my named albums all show "0 items". All photos are visible when I look through the folders organized by years, but nothing shows up in the folders/albums I have created in iPhoto. I know I was previously able to do this, but cannot figure out what is wrong.
    Does anybody have any suggestions? Somebody replied in a post that there are no image files in the iPhoto albums. In that case, I'd like to know where they are. My main interest is where I go to attach files to emails and such.
    Thanks!!!

    Raphael,
    Same question as before... How is your external drive currently formatted? Is it formatted as Mac OS Extended?
