Photo names but no photo preview....

All of the sudden, when I click on the Photos tab in iMovie, I can see all the photo names, but only some of the photos actually preview. Also, I can't click on the photos that don't also preview.
I've done nothing to my iPhotos that I can think of... I can boot to my external drive which is a mirror (cloned copy) of my internal and they all show up.
Any ideas on what is causing this? I've done the Cocktail, Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro stuff to no avail.
I grabbed a picture in case anyone would like to know what I'm talking about.

File name is iMoviePhotos_NoShow

Thanks! That worked! Two things to note: I didn't have grayed out photos in iPhotos, just all the sudden viewing photos from within iMovie; launching iMovie immediately after apply the rebuild did not resolve the problem. I was thinking the fix didn't work but the next time I opened iMovie, there were all the photos.
Thanks again for helping me!

Why won't Apple put the photo name in the Photos app?!

I keep hoping that Apple will do a very simple thing and that is put the photo name/title in the Photos app for iOS. It's not even available in the iOS version of iPhoto as near as I can tell. This one simple thing would be a tremendous boon to anyone showing photos under any circumstances. "1 of 55" is not very helpful. What possible reason could make this undesirable? It isn't confusing or cluttering up the interface. Nothing is as simple as syncing photos to an iPad with iTunes; I've looked at Photosmith, and while a very nice app, you have to create & publish individual collections from Lightroom one at a time. Does anyone know if it's possible to force the title to be shown? I've read that the information isn't even transferred to the iPad or iPhone but at least some metadata is transferred for iOS iPhoto.

You can let Apple know that you would like this feature:

Mac storage filled with "Photo" data, but no photos in iPhoto?

I bought my Macbook Air last May, and I have filled it with around 1000 songs, and I had around 2,500 photos in iPhoto. I checked my storage because I wanted to import more photos to iPhoto, but it would not work. The message, "Can not complete import because there was a problem with a photo" or a message at the top on the iPhoto import tab that was along those lines. So, I checked my storage and it said that I only had around 5 GB left, and on my camera I had 22GB of data. So I bought a external hard drive and moved ALL of my photos over to the hard drive to make space. Now I have 20 photos left in my iPhoto, and I checked my Mac Storage, and it says I still have 30GB of photo data, and 50GB of movie data. 36GB are free out of 121GB when I look at my storage info under "About this Mac" I have cleared iPhoto as well as iMovie. Does anyone have any idea where I can find the files that are taking up all my storage? Thanks for any help!

Again what exactly did you do?
the correct way to move your iPhoto library (you can not move just photos) is
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Created Web Photo Album but Main Photos do not show on centre page in Firefox

Site is
I have used web photo album in this web site. In IE this is showing OK and all images are centralised, however in Firefox the main photo pages are showing to the left can anyone help me please?
http://www.sancere.com/Album/pages/Picture-018_jpg.htm

The page is showing OK in IE because it's in quirks mode - due to the fact that you are not using a doctype. Firefox is showing the page as it really is :-)
I've recoded the page for you - see if this works better.
Notice the doctype at the top of the document. You should use this on every page of your site. Which version of DW are you using if it didn't create the doc type ??
I've moved the body style into the style rules to the head of the document. I've added an ID for the table #gallerytable and applied that to your table.
If you look at the #gallerytable styles, you'll see I've given the table a width and set the margin to auto, which will center the page in both browsers. I've also removed the centering you had in the <td> elements.. no need for that because it's covered in the #gallerytable styling

How do I get my photos not to auto download into photo stream, but keep photo stream on?

My entire family has apple devices and we enjoy photo stream a lot! However, with my new iphone 5, I do not want pictures I take to auto download to photo stream! This being said, I cannot find a way to do this without turning off photo stream all together... something I do not want to do. So what do I do?

I believe you may have answer your own question, it's either all or nothing.

TS3195 since installing ios7 on my ipad I can no longer import photos to my Mac using Image Capture or even Preview. The device appears in the device list, but no photos appear. Anyone have a solution for this? Is it another glitch in ios7?

Hi - I just dowloaded io7 to to my mini ipad and now cannot upload the photos on it to my Mac - which I was able to do with the old system, and still can do with my old first generation Ipad. Very annoying. The device appears in the list in Image Capture and Preview, but no photos appear. Is there a way around this? It is the quickest and best way of transferring photos from a mobile device to the computer - but has iOS 7 messed this up???

Hi I have figured it out on my own just today coz what apple suggested didn't help much so I just have to do it by myself.
This is what you need to do:
open your computer and search for autoplay, it will open rightaway and then scroll down look for your device then change "ask everything" to "import photos and videos in windows" connect your ipad again then tthe import box will open.. and your good!
i hope this will help you. Good luck! :-)

How do I rename one wrongly identified photo in Faces? I seem to only be able to merge two stacks of photos to the correct name, but that is not accurate. I only have one photo in a batch under a certain name, that is wrongly identified.

In iPhoto '11: Select the photo in the "Faces" stack, open the "Info" panel, click on the face name in the "faces" brick and then on the name below the face to edit the name.

New iPod 5 gen and apps won't work, and when I take photos in the camera roll they show up when I click the preview in the left bottom corner but not in the photo album in the photos app, frozen a lot and resets it self a lot when it's frozen! Please help

My brand new iPod touch 5th gen (silver) i use it a lot and I take really great care if it but just today it's been acting really slow, freezing up all the time, it won't let me open up apps, the notification bar (dragged down) all gone (no markets/weather/noticfications) and never says anything, and the camera. Camera is really bugging me, when you go in the app "camera" I tooka photo, and I went to the left bottom corner and clicked that preview, it shows all the photos there, but it won't let you edit them, share or delete them. But when you go into the photos app, and go to camera roll they aren't there at all.
When I try to open apps, they freeze and then I try to move/delete them and then it freezes, and stops everything. Shuts down, and restarts and like nothing's happened.
Please, this is my first iPod and I really care about this so so much. Please somebody help me with something!!!! Please!!!!

I have downloaded the SMS in Iphone to my PC. I am able to seen the other person photo in the conversation but my photo is missing can i attach my photo and name in the message?

hi,
I have downloaded the SMS in Iphone to my PC. I am able to seen the other person photo in the conversation but my photo is missing can i attach my photo and name in the message?

I would think that would be something to ask the support for the software you used to download the SMS to the computer with.

Changing a photo name after importing

Can you tell me if it is now possible to change the 'original' name given to a photo once it has been assigned. I have stayed off iphoto because although it was possible to update the 'displayed' name in iphoto, the underlying name always stayed the same.This caused problems elsewhere. I have been using Picassa up to now becuase this did allow the underlying photo name to be updated. I know there is software out there that gets round this, but is the iphoto core product now capable ?

I understand the point. The issue arises when (in my case) I use the 'media collector' on my HP Media Smart EX490. This collects any new files automatically and stores them in the file structure they have been placed in on the Mac. Because this works from the file name, you can get a mismatch between what is on the HP Media Smart and the photo name on the Mac. Not the end of the world I know, but, up to now, by using Picassa instead I have been able to change the file name to match the photo. This causes the media collector to re-collect the photo using the new file name, so everything stays in step. I am sure there must be other examples out there, so it may well be that if Apple added this function they would promote some switchers from Picasa to Iphoto. Thanks for your help anyway.

And today it won't even read my camera's sd card, and I try with 2 different ones. If I restart the computer, leaving the memory card in, then it reads it; but if I pull it out and push it back in it doesn't see it. Whath am I doing wrong, if anything?

Where/how are you trying to change the name? If it is in Finder (after you've downloaded the pics to your desktop), highlight the pic icon and press Return. the name field will change and you can type in your new name. Hit Return again. That should make it "stick". If you're trying to do it elsewhere, please post the steps that you've tried.
As for your card: do you eject it properly? Either drag icon to trash or hit the eject symbol in the sidebar?

Photo names in slide shows.

Hi. Simple question. I can see how to add captions to a slide show (under preferences) but I would like to know if you can add the photo name to it (Besides the obvious of copying the name to the caption)? I'm using Photoshop Elements 6.0 on Windows Vista. What I need to do is take the photos, put them in a slide show, and give to a friends family so she and they can look at them and pick out which one(s) they want to print. With the photo names it would make life a lot easier. Thanks.

Wrong forum. Elements is two doors down on the left.

Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

Hi
Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
However also look in the View Menu.
Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ? (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
Do you see a preview here ?
Re: GoogleTalk
Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a Web Browser.

Unable to view photos after adjustments (except in preview mode)

I upgraded to Aperture 2.0 and would like the program but for an annoying glitch. Each time I open aperture I can make edits to one or two photos without problems, but then photos start to disappear from the viewer window. There is nothing but a blank canvas where they were. The photos will only reappear after a restart to aperture. The will appear in Preview Mode just fine.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be. I recall this happening a few times with 1.5.6, but this is now happening every time I use Aperture 2.0.
Thanks.

yes I get this more often on my Powerbook G4, and have had it a couple of times on my brand new MacBook Pro. With the MBP it's usually half or quarter of the image turning black. With the PG4 it's the whole image turning black. There are several threads on here about this issue with lots of respondents. This issue existed in 1.x and was fixed at some point (was gone in 1.5.6). Sadly it's returned.
