Photos are not showing up in the edit menu

When I hit the edit button the photos all show up on the top of the screen but in the box they are not there to edit each individual photo.  Please help, I need to edit my photos!

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?

  • My photos are not showing up in the 'Open File' window

    When I try to access my Aperture library through the 'Photo' button on the left hand column of the open file dialogue box, I see an option for aperture but it brings up an incomplete version of my library. There do not seem to be any other versions (or older versions) of my Aperture library floating around on my computer. Is this a refresh problem? Is there a way to force a refresh? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joel Richards

    Bob,
    I have had may similar problems lately, as I experiment with putting photos on my iPad and iPhone.  (iTunes uses previews from Aperture, and the media browser (File -> Open) uses previews too.)
    It seems that something went haywire with Aperture's preview generation in the last year.  All I can suggest (from my personal experience) is to select all the photos you want, delete the previews, close Aperture, restart Aperture, regenerate the previews, close Aperture, restart Aperture and then do a couple different random things while waiting to figure out what happened.
    I don't mean to sound unhelpful, but that actually is the set of steps I follow when trying to figure out what's wrong with my preview sharing.

  • I'm editing a video in imovie '08 and adding iphotos to the movie, but some of the photos are not showing. Help

    I'm editing the video of a presentation one of my clients has delivered, I'm adding the  slides of the presentation in as photos from iphoto, the problem is that some of the photos are now showing up in the video even though they have been added. Also where photo number 7 should be it is showing photo number 12? I really need to sort this out and need help. How do I get the photos to show and show properly in the right place?
    Thank you in advance

    I've got a list of things to look at and tryout to see if we can narrow down what's happening. Try any one in any particular order see if the problem keeps happening.
    1. What format are the original photos in?
    Are the all the same?
    If they are different, do some work and others do not?
    File formats that are “raw” may be a problem.
    File size may also be a problem if they are very large files.
    2. Duplicate the project in the Project Library
    Try dragging a photo into that copy of the project
    Any differences? If you can import photos into the Duplicate, try copying then pasting into the original and see if the image shows up.
    3. Duplicate a picture inside of iPhoto
    If you want to have a particular picture and can find it within iPhoto try making a duplicate.
    Does it show up in the Photo browser? And can you drag that duplicated picture into the project? What do you see, what result do you get?
    4. Clean the iMovie cache
    Quit out of iMovie. Then go to your Movies Folder > iMovie Events >  Project folder name
    Drag the folder "iMovie Thumbnails" to your trash. Then open the folder "iMovie Cache" and drag the file "Cache.plist" to the trash.
    This should regenerate any cached thumbnails for the project, may be helpful.
    5. Try tossing out the iMovie preferences
    Quit iMovie.
    Open a Finder window to your user's Home folder>Library >Preferences folder. Find the file named "com.apple.iMovie.plist" or "com.apple.iMovieAppl.plist" and move it to the trash.
    Try opening iMovie again, then opening the project and dragging a photo from the Photo Browser into the Project timeline.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Just got an iPad mini 3 and have not reset my iPad mini 3; is that why the photos from iCloud backup are not showing up in the new iPad?

    Just got an iPad mini 3 and have not reset my iPad mini 3; is that why the photos from iCloud backup are not showing up in the new iPad?

    Sorry, don't know what you are asking. You have an old iPad Mini 3 and a new iPad Mini 3?  How did you set up the new iPad? Did you restore it from a backup of the old iPad? What photos are you not seeing?

  • 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.

  • Why some photos do not show up in the widgets after final export?

    Why do I have a problem with the FeatureD News Widget not showing all my photos? I have tried redoing it many times over in different formats and all but one photo never shows up in the final export. Please I need help to finish up the website.

    If I understand this correctly, you are reporting that you have images in your Featured News' target frames and some of those photos do not show up in the published site.
    If so, I would like you to confirm if the widget works fine in Preview within Muse? Are the images missing in all browsers, even after clearing the browser cache? Can you provide a link to a published site? If required I may also request your source Muse file to investigate further.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

    In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option.  Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course). 
    Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

  • My contacts are not showing up on the PC app or the web interface.  Why isn't this working?

    My contacts are not showing up on the PC app or the web interface.  Message+ works fine on my Note 4 though.  My contacts are saved in my Google account.
    I've tried several things but message+ acts like there are no contacts in the app yet there are names and pictures in my conversations.  Can anyone help me?

        matthttam,
    Let's make sure that we get you up and running with no issues. I want to make sure that we are on the same page. Are your contacts actually listed in the address book on your phone? Are you using Verizon Messages? Or the third party Messages  from the Play Store? Please keep us posted.
