Photo disappears when opened

I can see my photos in the individual events, but when I open a photo to look at it by itself, it fills the screen as expected but then the screen instantly goes black and the photo disappears.  Any ideas what is causing this?  Thank you

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • My desktop photo disappears when I reboot iMac, replaced with Mac default image. please help?

    My desktop photo disappears when I reboot iMac...replaced with default apple image. does anyone know a fix?

    First, try to delete the Desktop settings file. First, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart your computer. Finally, change the wallpaper and see if it stays after restarting your computer
    If that does not work try
    open the Applications Support folder and then look for the Dock folder and open that. There are two files, one of which is "desktoppicture.db". Move this file to the trash and securely delete it. Restart the computer. A new "desltoppicture.db" will be created on startup.
    Finally, reset your desktop picture again using System Preferences.

  • I had to restore iPhoto - photos were lost - now many thumbnails show up as same photo. When opened the correct photo is there. It seems to show up as most recent edited photo. Using iPhoto 11. Any advice?

    I've just had the same problem, after a repair ALL thumbnail previews were the same image replicated...
    This webpage spells out how to repair thumbnails.

  • Original photos disappear when exporting retouched photos from iPhoto

    BACKGROUND:
    I have a folder of, say, 15 photos.
    I open them in iPhoto and retouch them.
    I export the photos and IMMEDIATELY am confronted with the message that they can't be exported because the originals cannot be found.
    I go to the original folder of 15 photos and it is completely empty.
    The missing photos aren't in the Trash, they are no-where. A search finds NOTHING but the ones in iPhoto.
    If I try to copy the photos in iPhoto and paste them into the original folder from which they came, they create ALIASes and the picture doesn't show up ... just a JPEG icon.
    If I export photos one at a time, the originals don't disappear, but if I try to export even two in the same procedure, all original photos disappear.
    Obviously, this is AWFUL because my photos are gone, vanished, nowhere to be found.
    What's wrong with my machine?
    (I don't even know what version of iPhoto I'm using ... how do I find that information?)

    =====
    IN A NUTSHELL: Whenever exporting anything from iPhoto, the original photos in Finder VANISH. Poof! They're gone. Thus, I disagree with your and Terence Devlin's comment that  "iPhoto has no ability to manipulate files stored outside the iPhoto Library." My uninformed guess is that I need to re-install my OS or at least iPhoto.
    BACKGROUND: Yes, I held down the Option key when launching iPhoto and chose CREATE LIBRARY from the resulting menu. Ever since doing that, the problem is the same EXCEPT that iPhoto now hangs virtually EVERY TIME I try to export. AFTER deleting the original files, of course
    =====
    INITIAL STEPS LEADING UP TO THE EXPORT PROCESS:
    (1) From my camera, I import photos into a Desktop folder. Let's say, for this example, there are five photos (test1.jpg, test2.jpg, test3.jpg, test4.jpg and test5.jpg).
    (2) I open them in PREVIEW, manipulate them (some need to be rotated). I save all changes.
    (3) I need to remove some blemishes (hey, I'm not perfect). I select all 5 photos, CONTROL+CLICK and choose OPEN WITH ... iPhoto.
    (4) iPhoto opens, and test1.jpg, test2.jpg, test3.jpg, test4.jpg and test5.jpg are in a new UNTITLED EVENT.
    (5) As confirmation, I open Finder, navigate to the Desktop folder and confirm that the five original photos are still present.
    Now here's where things go awry and I'll outline everything I've done:
    NOTE: For all of these examples, I am not going to spend time to EDIT the photos in iPhoto. I am simply leaving the 5 photos I just imported untouched in an UNTITLED EVENT. (If I edit them, the results are the same, so I'm not going to waste my time.)
    EXAMPLE ONE: EXPORTING ONE PHOTO AT A TIME
    (6) I select test1.jpg (from UNTITLED EVENT) and choose FILE/EXPORT.
    (7) The EXPORT PHOTO screen appears, and, without making any changes to the default settings (Kind: Current,  Jpeg Quality: Medium, etc.), I select EXPORT.
    (8) A screen appears: ALERT - The photo test1.jpg could not be opened because the original cannot be found."
    (9) I choose FIND PHOTO and navigate to the original desktop folder containing the original 5 photos. I confirm that test1.jpg is there.
    (10) I choose OK.
    (11) The EXPORT PHOTOS screen appears reading, "test1.jpg already exists. Do you want to replace it?"
    (12) I select REPLACE and a screen appears "Exporting ... 1 of 1" and IMMEDIATELY another screen appears in front of that reading, "ALERT - The photo test1.jpg could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found." (You will recall that just seconds ago, it was definitely there!)
    (13) I choose FIND PHOTO ... and iPhoto hangs and must be shut down using FORCE QUIT.
    (14) Just for grins & giggles, I check the Desktop folder to be sure test1.jpg is still there ... and it is.
    EXAMPLE TWO: EXPORTING ONE PHOTO AT A TIME (and hopefully doing so w/o iPhoto hanging)
    (6) In iPhoto, I select test1.jpg (from UNTITLED EVENT) and choose FILE/EXPORT.
    (7) The EXPORT PHOTO screen appears, and, without making any changes to the default settings (Kind: Current,  Jpeg Quality: Medium, etc.), I select EXPORT.
    (8) A screen appears: ALERT - The photo test1.jpg could not be opened because the original cannot be found."
    (9) I choose FIND PHOTO and navigate to the original desktop folder containing the original 5 photos. I confirm that test1.jpg is present.
    (10) I click on OK.
    (11) The EXPORT PHOTOS screen appears reading, "test1.jpg already exists. Do you want to replace it?"
    (12) I select REPLACE and a screen appears "Exporting ... 1 of 1" and IMMEDIATELY another screen appears in front of that reading, "ALERT - The photo test1.jpg could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found." (You will recall that just seconds ago, it was SO present that iPhoto confirmed I wanted to replace it!)
    (13) I choose FIND PHOTO and navigate to the Desktop folder and, sure enough, there is no test1.jpg. One second ago, it was there but as soon as I chose REPLACE from iPhoto, it disappeared. I mean it's gone. It's not in the trash, it's not in the folder. It has vanished. Only test2.jpg through test5.jpg remain.
    EXAMPLE THREE: EXPORTING ALL 5 PHOTOS AT ONCE
    (I recreate the Desktop folder so it once again contains five photos ... test1.jpg through test5.jpg)
    (6) In iPhoto, I select all 5 photos (test1.jpg, test2.jpg, test3.jpg, test4.jpg and test5.jpg ... from UNTITLED EVENT) and choose FILE/EXPORT.
    (7) The EXPORT PHOTO screen appears, and, without making any changes to the default settings (Kind: Current,  Jpeg Quality: Medium, etc.), I select EXPORT.
    NOTE: In this example, iPhoto voluntarily navigated to the original Desktop folder ... it didn't make me search for the photos.
    (8) A screen appears: FILES EXIST - test1.jpg and 4 other files already exist at the destination. Do you want to replace them?
    (9) I select REPLACE and a screen appears "Exporting ... Exporting Image 1 of 5 and IMMEDIATELY another screen appears in front of that reading, "Alert, The photo test1.jpg could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
    (10) I select FIND PHOTO and navigate to the Desktop folder and the folder is complete empty. All 5 photos have vanished.
    ====
    QUESTION: Since all of my original photos have disappeared, how can I recreate them? I spent a month through-hiking the JMT this summer and you can imagine what a tragedy it was to find that virtually every one of my photos has disappeared and I have no way of replacing them. I can see them in iPhoto, but I can't bring them OUT of iPhoto and back into a Finder folder.)
    =====
    AS AN ASIDE ... when I have to FORCE QUIT of iPhoto, I am given the opportunity to REPORT or IGNORE. If I choose REPORT, a screen appears reading that the transmission failed and that I should "try again later." This has been happening for quite some time. I cannot create a connection between my computer and Apple to report any problems.

  • Photos disappeared when I have emptied the basket

    Why all the photos that I hade in the event are disappeared when I have emptied the basket?

    Well as you have no back up and your Library cannot be repaired your only option now is to recover the photos from the damaged library and start over from scratch.
    To create and populate a new iPhoto 11 library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'. A new blank library will open.
    Go into the damaged iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder.  Right Click on it and select Show Package Contents. Find the Masters folder.  From there drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the damaged iPhoto Library.

  • Photos disappear when trying to edit

    When I connect I see my website perfectly. However when I go to EDIT a page, all the photos disappear. What is causing that? And how can it be fixed?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Photos distorted when opened in preview, yet ok in cover flow

    Hi
    I previously posted this question which got moved to the iPhoto section, but its NOT an iPhoto issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2619921&tstart=0
    Having purchased a new camera (Sony DSC2000) the first time I used it the photos were fine...now ever since they appear intermittently distorted, or missing altogether. I tried creating a basic new user account as a test with the same results. Help!!

    Hi
    Thanks for the tip. Yes the problems happen regardless of the location or user account. As an example when opening the jpegs in Preview the log shows the following messages repeatedly:
    Macintosh.local Finder[115] <Error>: CGImageCreate: invalid image size: 0 x 0.
    10/12/2010 18:59:10 [0x0-0xb00b].com.apple.finder[115] Fri Dec 10 18:59:10 Macintosh.local Finder[115] <Error>: CGImageCreate: invalid image size: 0 x 0.
    10/12/2010 18:59:21 [0x0-0xb00b].com.apple.finder[115] Fri Dec 10 18:59:21 Macintosh.local Finder[115] <Error>: Corrupt JPEG data: bad Huffman code.
    And when viewing the distorted jpegs in cover flow in Finder:
    Macintosh.local quicklookd[727] <Error>: Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment
    10/12/2010 19:25:22 com.apple.quicklook[727]
    10/12/2010 19:25:24 com.apple.quicklook[727] Fri Dec 10 19:25:24 Macintosh.local quicklookd[727] <Error>: Bogus marker length
    Any ideas gratefully received. Short of anything else I reckon I will try an erase and fresh install of Mac OS X 10.5 and see if that sorts things.

  • Aperture 3-- photos disappear when trying any adjustment

    A series of RAW photos cannot be adjusted--anytime I try any adjustment the photo disappears and will not reappear until I go to EDIT and UNDO the attempted adjustment.
    I have tried reprocessing all masters, etc., to no avail.
    The camera and lenses are all the same I have used in the past and have no trouble making adjustments--just one series of photos.
    Anyone with similar problems or suggested solutions? Help is sincerely appreciated!

    Trying to get my head around this one. When you say the photo disappears, do you mean that it disappears from the browser?
    The only way I have been able to replicate this is as below.
    RAW is visible, with adjustments applied:
    RAW is not visible:
    Make sure that the search field is clear.
    An obvious one I know...

  • Address Card photo disappears when exporting in Leopard

    Hi guys,
    Has anyone else out there experienced this? I can't see anything on the forums.
    When I export a vCard, the photo disappears. It doesn't matter which method I use (dragging the card to the desktop or exporting via the pull down menu).
    Thoughts anyone?
    Cheers from NZ
    Scott.

    You may need to go into the preferences, go to the vCard pref pane, and enable "Export photo".

  • Photos disappear when I try to edit them

    I have had trouble on and off with my photos disappearing from the screen when I am editing them.  I have tried closing all applications running in the background while editing photos, closing and reopening iPhoto, restarting my computer.  Nothing fixes it. I am currently unable to edit any photos without this happening. What is the problem?

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    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 Home/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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Ipod nano - photos disappear when I add new ones

    When I transfer photos from my computer to my ipod nano that's fine - but the photos already in my ipod disappear!
    Anyone help?
    Roy43

    Are you choosing the same folder each time to sync
    photos from?
    If this isnt the case then thats why the photos
    disappear, the ipod recognises that the "new" folder
    chosen doesnt have the photos already contained on
    the ipod in it and deletes them accordingly.
    The easiest way to transfer photos (at least i found
    it easier lol) is to create a new folder on your
    computer called "ipod photos" or something like that,
    then copy all the photos that you want on your ipod
    into that folder. Then sync the ipod photos from that
    folder, and when you want to remove certain photos,
    simply delete or move them from the folder, connect
    the ipod, and sync again.
    Hope this helps
    Many thanks- I'll try that. I assume that it's the same procedure for Windows (you) and Mac (me)?

  • All photos disappeared when upgrading from iPhoto 4 to Photo 8.

    Yesterday I bought a new MBP 2.5 GHz 15" to substitute my older laptop, an iBook G4 12". In that iBook I used the original iLife package bundled, including the iPhoto 4. All my pictures were stored in an external hard drive, into an iPhoto Library folder.
    I used Migration Assistant to transfer all my data from that iBook to my new MBP, through Firewire. Everything went nice except for few programs that weren't universal which I'm still fixing.
    When opening the new iPhoto in this MBP, it asked for the iPhoto Library Folder, and I indicated the old folder located at my external hard drive. After selecting it, appeared a dialog box saying that the new iPhoto Library folder wouldn't be readable in older iPhoto versions, and I selected ok. Than it created all my albums inside nicely but to my surprise (and despair) all my pictures were gone. To make things worse, I don't have backup of those hi-res, only the ones formated to my iPhone that I already recovered from it.
    I don't know what to do, and I'm desperate since invaluable data from years worth are simply gone because of a stupid upgrade that Apple made. I can't understand how Apple didn't make and option to duplicate the iPhoto folder or ask if I wanted to backup it before upgrading if there was such a risk.
    Since this happened I tried to recover the data using Data Rescue II, and I haven't cleaned the trash yet, but I can't find the files. If someone could please give me a suggestion I would really appreciate it.

    Migration Assistant is known for not handling iPhoto libraries very well. I suggest you copy the old library again but this time manually and put it in the Pictures folder. Thendownload and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    After that's complete open iPhoto and let it convert the library again.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • HT1338 Why did my photos disappear when the upgrade was installed?

    why did my photos disppear when i updated Iphoto?

    Ralph-
    I'm sorry you deleted the albums from Elements. I hope you had a copy elsewhere. We will close and lock this discussion since you posted on our other site with the same issue and we can communicate there on this issue:

  • IPhoto windows goes black (photo disappears) when editing

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto 11 and was editing a photo when it disappeared. Basically, the entire iPhoto window went black and I was unable to make an edits.
    When I went back to the Events page the picture was there looking normal. But I am unable to edit the photo because any time I go to make a change, the picture disappears.
    I restarted iPhoto and rebuilt the database, the thumbnails... every option available when restarting holding the Option + Command keys. Still no joy.
    Anybody have any clue what's going on?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
