Only photo "frames" appear

When I open my Iphoto there are only outlines, "frames" of all my photos. Just black rectangle outlines against the grey backdrop. I can tell that there are the correct number of frames where the photos once were, but all my photos have vanished! Help!

Do you get the spinning cog wheel with the white screen? That can mean you do not have proper file access to the file. Close iPhoto, download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Launch iPhoto and try again.
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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Copy/Paste Clip between Sequences - Only one frame appears?

Hi all. A strange thing has started happening in FCP 7...not always but frequently. When I have two sequences open, I go to the first sequence and copy a clip. I go to the second and paste the clip and it shows up as very thin (one frame). I can then drag the end of it to make it longer but why doesn't it just paste the same length that it was copied?
Thanks for any help.

Do you have any In and Out points marked in the timeline? When you do the copy function what area is highlighted in the timeline or selected?

In My Yahoo at beginning of each news summary appears a small picture. In last few days pictures have ceased to appear; only a frame appears. Still see pictures when open My Yahoo in Internet Explorer. How do I get pictures back in Firefox?

When making a book, one of my photos selected appears only on the flap, how can I get it to be in the book also?

1. When making a book using Iphoto, one of my photos selected appears only on the back flap, how can I get it to be in the book also? I added an extra page thinking that would help, didn't!
2. It says that you can photos anytime, can I add a photo that I did not select originally without starting completely over?
...any suggesstions for both problems would be appreciated. Thanks

you can use a photo many time is the same book - simply drag it from the photo strip to the photo frame you want it in - even though you have used it before you can still use it again
And adding photos is easy - go to the photo (in an album, event or photo view) and drag the photo(s) to the book under keepsakes - it will now be available to use

Digital Photo Frame df1010v2 - how to download photos in the order they appear on USB?

Photos installed nicely into my df1010v2 digital photo frame, but not in the order I wanted them. I had painstakingly named all of them by date, and they appeared chronologically on the USB drive I copied them from, but they downloaded in random bunches. Does anyone know why this happened and whether there is a fix? Pictures are for my 90-year-old mother, and the weird order will confuse her. I do not have frame set to view in random sequence, but that's how they will appear to her P.S. Many of the photos are scans of old photos, so setting them to appear by date taken will not work here. Thank you for any help!

Hi,
If you are happy with PSE 6, why not continue to use it?
PSE 13 can display the images in date/time order like PSE 6 does. The time doesn't appear when you hover over a thumbnail but can be displayed below the thumbnail. The best thing is for you to download the trial version (select version 13 from the following link) and try it for 30 days to see if you like it.
Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
If you use the trial, to see the date and time under each thumbnail you need to go to the View menu in the organizer and ensure that Details is checked.

Photos downloaded appear only "showing: added by (photos only)" - do not appear in albums or grid. Why?

I downloaded 150 photos today but they only appear in "showing: added by (photos only)" - do not appear in albums or grid. Why?

Hehe, that is what i experienced using the MobileMe trial.
Ok, I will dig deep into my computer software boxes and look for the discs that came with the computer.
Thank you for all your help, it is much appreciated

Why when i set up folders for my photos do they also appear in the photo library can I only have them appear in the folders???

Why when i set up folders for my photos do they also appear in the photo library can I only have them appear in the folders and not duplicated in the photo library???

Not sure about the missing photos from the Photo Stream section of 'Recent', however to stop photos populating the events, turn off Automatic Import (iPhoto Preferences > Photo Stream)

None of my photos are appearing, i only see an exclamation mark when i try to look at a photo, what do i do??

none of my photos are appearing on iphoto, i only see an exclamation mark when i try to look at them. they were all there one minute and then they disappeared the next, what do i do??

I rebuilt it using iPhoto Manager and that appears to have worked. I did the rebuild onto a different drive and I'm now working to determine if there is a problem the the external drive that held the corrupted library.

Only part of my photo stream appears on my new ipad

I have an iPhone 5 and ipad, all using same Apple ID. I just bought a new mini and used the same Apple ID to set it up. I currently have 850 photos in my photo stream (on my phone and original ipad) but only 250 of the photos are appearing on my new ipad. I have photo stream enabled on all devices. The 250 photos go back exactly one month. How can I get the other 600 photos onto my new ipad?

Hi Gergorlana,
Many thanks for your question today.
In short The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
You cannot have photos on My Photo Stream on iCloud stored for more than 30 days.
If you want to have all your images from your devices on your new iPad.
Import all your images to your Mac or Pc and then:
Go to iTunes
(New) (Name's) iPad
Go Photos
Click Sync Photos from
Click on the folder and click choose
Find the library where the images were saved and click on the import button
Click sync and then all your images from the other iDevices will be on your new iPad
Many thanks for your question today

HT204384 I want to transfer photos to a SanDisk card, then to my digital photo frame, but when I put the card in the side of the iMac, no icon appears...nothing happens. Do I need a separate reader? Soooo frustrating! Thanks.

Having trouble transferring photos from iphoto to a SanDisk card, then to my digital photo frame. Do I have a reader on this iMac, or do I need to buy one? I insert the card on the side, no icon, nothing happens. HELP! Thanks, Diane.

Is there an icon on your desktop called "Machintosh HD" ?
If not, there is a setting that is easily turned on that will show you connect drives, memory cards, and other devices. You can turn it on like so:
Then after you click preferences:

I have just downloaded Elements 11 & there is only one frame (basic) in collage, how do I get more?

I have just upgraded from Elements 7 to Elements 11 but find in the photo Collage there is only one frame, how do I get more, my old 7 had a good variety???

Hi Wobygong5,
I am afraid PSE11 has just one theme, ie. Basic.
However you can go to Expert mode, and then create a new image of the size you want, and then insert frames from the Graphics panel. You can insert as many frames as you want.
But Photo Collage will offer you just one theme.

How do i turn my photos into a photo stock where each photo may appear under several titles/albums?

Hi apple dudes, I have about 7500 photos on my work MacBook Pro and what I want to do with them is tag/label each one with up to 5 headings so that each photo could effectively appear in or under multiple albums. I am effectively trying to create a photo stock of loads of images. To further explain, a picture of a dog a boat and a palm tree on a beach at sunset could fall under the heading of "dog", "beach", "tree", "boat", "sunset" etc, you get the picture ;0) Is there an easy way of doing this? I have "inherited" this fantastic job and the current photos may not be in any real order or albums and a lot of them don’t have a date or location attached to them. Can anyone provide any help with this query? Thank guys ;0) x

What I would do is first create the keywords that you want to use to identify the different photos with. You can do that in the Keyword pane (Command+K). Then select the first photo in an event or grouping you want to start with, bring up the keyword pane and start applying the keywords to the photos. When you finish with one use the arrow key on the keyboard to move to the next and apply the appropriate keyword(s).
Then you can create smart albums with the criteria: Keyword is "dog". You can set it to look for two or more keywords. Keyword is "dog" and Keyword is "tree". That will find all photos with either of those two keywords. If you want only photos with both keywords you have to create a Keyword named "dog + tree" and use the criteria Keyword is "dog + tree". A little clumsy but can be done.
Each smart album will contain just those photos you've targeted.

How can I get still photos to appear in menu templates?

I can't get photos to appear in the menu templates in Premiere Elements 11, whether I drag them in or Browse them out. I tried two different templates, and 5 different photo file formats. From what I'm reading online, this is a known bug that has been around since v. 9. How is that possible that a major element of a top-of-the-line video editor doesn't even work? Is there a bug fix or a workaround?

Hi ATR,
Thank you for your kind response. Now that I’ve calmed down some, I’m willing to keep trying, to a point at least. I’ll try responding to your questions.
I failed to mention that I did update to 12.1 before my last failure. And I still had the problem. So far, I have only deleted the Prefs file and not the entire folder, mostly because the program went into permanent crash mode and I couldn’t even get it to run, let alone try editing my project. That’s when I reinstalled it.
The project is simply a PowerPoint presentation with a soundtrack, which I exported from PowerPoint as an mp4 file. It’s only 7:30 minutes long. So it’s a very tiny file. There is only one menu page and no scene menus.
Yes, I have successfully burned it to disk, once with the gray rectangle on the menu (to confirm whether it would show as a gray rectangle on the TV screen, which it did), and once with the picture on the menu, the one time I succeeded in getting the picture to appear in the menu.
I have tried the picture in multiple image formats, but the one I mainly try is a .bmp that PE generated using the snapshot tool, or whatever it’s called in PE. I figured if PE won’t even load images it created, the Adobe programmers need to start back with square one.

Photos not appearing on the photo map on iPhone 6

Hi,
I got a new iPhone 6 yesterday. I had until then been using the iPhone 5. When iOS 8 came out I had to delete a lot of photos from the iPhone 5 to get space for the update. I backed up all my photos on my Macbook. Yesterday I synced all of my photos onto my new iPhone 6.
A strange thing is that in the map function on the Photos app only the photos that were not synced (i.e. those that had remained on the iPhone 5 and were part of the iCloud backup) appear on the map. It seems that the "map info / gps coordinates" on the synced photos somehow have been lost. However in the Photos app the names of the places / towns where the photos were taken still appear (they were all taken with my iPhone 5) so there clearly is some gps coordinate information there. To make this even more confusing, YESTERDAY, right after syncing all these photos DID appear on the photos map, but this morning they do not (only the photos that were not synced do).
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggested solutions? I really loved being able to see exactly where my holiday photos etc were taken, so I hope I have not lost this for the synced photos permanently.
Many thanks,
S
