Photo app not showing chunk of photos from 2009 to 2013 (says it's "downloading")

For some reason when I click on the photos tab it says downloading below my most recent picture. When I scroll up it will show me back to april 29th of 2013. Then there is a large gap between 2013 and 2009 and there are image placeholders there. When I zoom out into the Years option I can see this better. Then there's a string of photos waaaaay back in 2012 (or there about). Why are these placeholders there and not my pictures?
I know there have been changes to the photos app but I haven't changed anything on my phone, downloaded any new apps or deleted anything that would have caused this. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm also including a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

Just found PhotoUpLink which allows you to send the full quality images to your email. What's quite good is that it allows you to select more than one image to send together. Not exactly what I was looking for, but does the job much better than the current Apple (non tethered) method.

  • Mountain Lion, photos are not showing up in photo stream

    I recently installed Mountain Lion, now photos are not showing up in photo stream on the computer.  What should I do?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • Photo stream not showing up under photos?  There is options for photos and album under photos but no photo stream

    I just bought an ipad mini 2. However, could not find photo stream under photos. Why?

    Hi there, thanks for the answers. I think I didn't explain it clearly. I have enable photo stream, however I couldnt see my photo stream album in the Photo app. When I take photos from my iPad mini, it synced to my photo scream on my iPhone so i assume I am using the same iCloud account. But this photo stream album does not appear on my iPad mini.

  • IPhone 5 "places" map in photos app only showing very first photo taken.

    I got my iPhone 5 three days ago and have taken 20 something or so photos on the camera.  Location services is enabled for the camera and photos, yet the only photo showing up on the "places" map of the photo app is the very first photo I took, right after buying the phone.  I have no clue why none of the other photos are showing up in the places map & would appreciate any help making them all show up on the map. 

    mcytron [and Dhalberg]...
    Thank you, for posting this problem and the resolution.
    I have just returned from a two month 14,500km Kimberly's and Red Centre trip, and found to my absolute disappointment that all of my iPhone 5 photos had a horrid blueish tinge.
    a) by chance, I found when fiddling with iPhoto Edit that on the photos with this tinge, that the Revert to Original button was highlighted.
    Click on that button, and the photo colour profile was magically restored.
    b) OK, but how do I proceed now; select every photo, and select Edit, Revert to Original for every one?  I have 600 plus photos to fix.
    I began looking for a method of doing a Batch Change, which I have used in the past to adjust the time [and date] of photos imported from my wife Olympus SZ-14, and bingo, found the Photos, Revert to Original button in the top menu bar drop down.
    It worked a treat. I was able to select all the effected photos [in fact did a Ctlr a on the entire collection], and all 600 plus were restore in a few minutes, withthe click of one button.
    Phew...

  • Photos are not showing anymore in Photo Stream folder even though they are there.

    A couple of days ago my Photo Stream folder in iPhoto was suddenly empty. I checked and Photo Stream is switched on. I disabled it and switched it back on. Now You can see that Photo Stream is importing the images but when iPhoto is done, there are no photos in the folder. When taking a pic with my Mac it uploads as well into Photo Stream and shows up on my iPhone but in iPhoto Photo Stream still nothing.
    I tried manually adding pics but it tells me they are already there. Very strange.
    I also know that Photo Stream itself is working because it works to use Photo Stream as a screen saver and there all the pics show. So it must be a problem with iPhoto. I also did all the repair options for the Media Library that you can do when starting iPhoto. Nothing has changed the situation.
    Anyone any suggestions?

  • Why does the new photo app not allow all the photos on my iMac to appear on iPhone and iPad?

    Imac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
    New Photo App has over 9000 photos but only 180 or so appear on iPhone and iPad. Why. I have sufficient iCloud storage.

    How did you import the photos?
    Are the missing photos perhaps referenced? Then they cannot upload to iCloud.
    You can check with a smart album, if you have any photos in the library, that cannot upload to iCloud.

  • Why are not all photos in the "Photos" app not showing on the camera roll?

    On my iPad 2 (using iOS 7.1.2) there are 1,279 photos in the Photos application. The camera roll contains 77 photos. The About section in the Settings indicate I have 1,421 photos. Why is there this discrepancy in numbers? How can I move all 1,279 photos from the Photos application to a USB flash drive?

    You cannot.
    You have sync'd 1202 photos (1279-77)  from your computer using iTunes to your iPhone.
    You have 77 photos on you iPhone you have taken with the iPhone and have not sync'd to your computer and deleted from the Camera Roll.
    You should regularly sync all photos in the Camera Roll to your computer and delete them from the Camera Roll on the iPhone.
    -> iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    After you do this, you can sync whatever photos you want, back to your iPhone using iTunes. (These are the photos NOT in the Camera Roll).
    -> iTunes: Syncing photos
    After all this, you can copy photos from your computer to a USB flash drive.

  • Photo Stream not showing all my photos.

    I recently misplaced my iPhone 5 but because it was near the end of the contract I took another one out and bought the IPhone 6. When I got the phone I thought all my pictures if not some would be in the photo stream but they're not so every single one of my pictures throughout the years have gone.
    IS there anyway that the other pictures from the Photo Stream can be recovered because it means a lot to me.

    If the Photo Stream photos that are missing are over a month old, or if you had more than 1000 photos, then they are no longer on the Photo Stream. The Photo Stream is not designed as a backup for your photos. It's primary purpose is to share photos among devices signed onto the same iCloud account. If the missing photos were on your Camera Roll as well, and you have an iCloud backup, you can restore to that backup.
    If they were not, and you did not import your photos to your computer, then they are gone. Sorry

  • TS2755 My friend sends me photos from his iPad 2 via email. However, when he come to my iPad 2 inbox, the photos do not show up. Instead I get 20-some characters. What is wrong? Please advise.

    My friend sends me photos from his iPad 2 via email. However, when they arrive in my inbox on my iPad 2, the photos do not show up. I receive 20-some characters. Please advise as to the problem.

    Try sending them via the Messages app as opposed to E-mail.
    E-mail shouldn't normally be a problem, but Messages will do as a soloution.
    To do so:
    . You need iOS 5
    1. Go to your Photo Gallery
    2. Open up the album/ images you want to send
    3. Press the share button (top right hand corner)
    4. Select 'Send as Message' (not e- mail)
    5. Select your friends Apple ID from your address book for his iPad
    6. Voila!
    - it's something along those lines...... my iPad is downstairs atm, but the actual way of doing it will be similar...... !

  • Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I can not find an album for photos before 2012.

    Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone5 after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I cannot find an album or year for photos before 2012 (in the photo app). The iphone says the photo content is there when I check in "about" under general in settings. So the pictures seem to be somewhere but I just can't access from from the photo app. Any suggestions. I also know that they were there before the iOS7 upgrade as I was looking for a pre 2012 picture last week and it we there.

  • TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

    My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
    What am I going to do?

    The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
    If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see my photos

    After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all  my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.

    Try these for the first attempt:
    First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

  • My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers.  Does anyone know why this is happening?  Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

    My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers.  Does anyone know why this is happening?   Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?  I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.
    Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
    You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

  • Photos not showing up in photo stream after being imported to iPhoto from a DSLR camera?

    I have a DSLR camera and for the longest time, I would import photos from a shoot to iPhoto and after about 20 minutes they would have all shown up in my photo stream on my Mac and my iPhone. But recently, the photos will not show up on either photo stream and trying to share a new photo stream with myself never works. Help?

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPad Air, the Events arrive in the proper order but not showing the Key Photo.  At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto on the iPad in totally random order but showing the Key Photo.Why?

    In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.
