Photos disappear from book project

Producing a photo book in iphoto.
The project looks complete i.e. there is a photo on all pages with no blanks.
After quiting iphoto and reopening iphoto some photos and text are missing in the project.
Does iPhoto auto save or must I save the project before quiting iPhoto?
I uploaded what appeared to be a full project for a book but upon checking with apple there were some blanks.  Apple cancelled the charges.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Arthur

After quiting iphoto and reopening iphoto some photos and text are missing in the project.
no error messages and accessed from macbook
Are the missing photos only gone from the book album or also gone from the library?
The only other way I know of, that photos can vanish from your iPhoto library, if you do not access the library from outside iPhoto, would be syncing with an online service, like Facebook - that could remove photos from your synced albums,  or using cleaning apps, like "clean my mac 2".

  • After iPhoto quit unexpectedly, the last 5 months of photos disappeared from my library. Please help!

    After iPhoto quit unexpectedly, the last 5 months of photos disappeared from my library. Please help! I can't find them anywhere.

    You're using iPhoto 6?
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll 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 iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • ReImport Failure after Photos Disappear from Catalog in 2.1

    Mac OS (Tiger). Lightroom 2.1. Several photos disappeared from my catalog. They are visible in Bridge. I tried to do an import from disk to get them back by selecting the missing picture in the import dialog and then clicking import. After clicking import I get a message that the file won't be imported because it is already in the catalog (even though it is not visible). If I then select the name of the file in the "will not be imported list" and click on the "show in library" button I am taken to a picture other than the one I selected for import.
    I have been able to re-import the images by renaming them outside Lightrom, and doing an import from disk. Once the images are inside lightroom I can rename them to their original name. At that point I get a message saying that the file can't be renamed, and Lightroom then proceeds to rename the file to its original name.
    This is making me very nervous about the integrity of the catalog in 2.1. I don't know if this is a 2.1 problem or a 2.0 problem because I noticed the missing images weeks after I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1.
    So far I have noticed only two images that can't be seen in the library module and can't be reimported (unless they are renamed outside Lightroom).
    Any suggestions?

    I have disabled Library filters and the problem persists. Also, I have seen the same problem on two different computers under both Tiger and Leopard, Apparently, the disappearing images only disappear AFTER an editt and same in Photoshop.

  • Iphoto 8.1.2 crashed while deleting  photos (7,000) from my iphone and the photos disappeared from iphone and iphoto

    No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.

  • Photos disappeared from a Smugmug gallery collection

    I recently had the photos disappear from a LR 3.4.1 Smugmug gallery collection.  They didn't disappear from Smugmug, just from this one LR Smugmug gallery collection.  And they didn't disappear from their LR folder.  It's a relatively small gallery (21 pictures) and I can just put them back, but I'd like to understand what might have happened to cause this.

  • My photos disappeared from the cloud and from my iPad

    All of a sudden a chunk of photos disappeared from my iPad, which is synchronized with iCloud.

    First drag the ? off the dock about 2 inches and let go. It should diappear with a poof.
    Next, double click the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Is iTunes there?
    If not, you will have to reinstall it. Do you have a backup?
    If you do find iTunes in the Applications folder, click on it once and drag it to the Dock where the ? used to be.

  • Why did my project disappear from the project library?

    I recently finished a project, exported it to the "project file" in the Movie folder, and from there burned it to a disk. No problem. Since then, I have been thinking about making a couple of changes to the project, but when I opened the Project Library in iMovie, lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found. All of my other projects were there, but this one was gone.
    I looked in the project file in the Movie folder, and there it was, along with the movie, but I can't edit it any further in its present location. If it were in the project library (where it belongs), I could certainly edit it, but I can't figure out how to get it back there, so to speak.
    Two questions: first, why did it disappear from the Project Library, and second, what can I do about it now? I could always start from scratch (using clips in the Event Library), but that means doing everything over again, which I prefer not to do. Any ideas?

    I've got the similar problem:

    I've also restarted a million times but it still doesn't seem to work...

  • When you import photos to your ipad from your iMac , do those photos disappear from the iMac?

    When you import photos from your iMac to your ipad, do those photos disappear from the iMac??

    No. Syncing albums from your computer to your iPad copies the photos to your iPad but leaves them on the computer.

  • Crashes during a session and also photos disappear from page and also in Face Book

    No more information other than photos or pictures disappear from any website page including when using Face Book. Also noticed that even Google Logo above search box disappears including the green arrow for returning to previous page or next page. Firefox also crashes during sessions and a widow message appears advising of the crash and requesting to send this on so the problem can be fixed. I have sent this crash report on numerous occasions but have not had any responses yet and the problem continues. Sometimes it works fine for a few days and then down it goes with same issues as mentioned above.

    It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right-click context menu while saving an image.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Photo loss from a project when creating a smart album

    Running Aperture 3.4.3 on iMac with OS X 10.7.5. Photos stored on internal drive. After creating two smart albums based on a date range, one with keywords and one with ratings, some, but not all, of the photos that appeared in the smart albums disappeared from the original projects (each project contains photos from a single day). One of the original projects still notes 454 photos under its thumbnail, but when opened only displays 308 photos. The project path of the photos in the smart album still references the correct project. I tried deleting the smart album but the photos did not immediately reappear in the correct project so I undid the delete. I tried closing and reopening Aperture. I tried system restart. No luck. Reading the Aperture help/manual suggests that the photos should remain in the original project.

    First: Make sure the Browser Filter is set to "Showing All" (or "Unrated or Better") when the Project is selected.

  • All photos disappeared from the corkboard of Iphoto, and when I try to put the new faces there,it does not register anything.The names appear under the photos,but the board remains empty.

    All the faces disappeared from the cork board in my Iphoto.When I add a name to a photo it appears there,but nothing appears on the board,there is just the message,how to start.I had alrady lot of faces there and they suddenly all disappeared.I have no idea what to do, or how to start putting up the faces on the board

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Problem Dragging a photo into a BOOK project

    I did this last week. But now I can't seem to drag a photo out of one album into a book album so that I can add this photo to the book during the layout process. There doesn't seem to be a work-around for this. When I called Apple, they wanted $199.00 to help me trouble-shoot this. Anyone have any ideas how I could fix this or make this work?

    I hope I have the right context: Ruscle is correct, but you have another option. If its not the pick of the stack, you can designate a non-pick as an "album pick". It should work for the book you are working on from then on. Go to the Stack menu and select Album Pick. See example here (scroll about halfway down - look for the "Non-Pick Images" error window):

    That site has several nice tutorials and some great tips, by the way.

  • Iphoto not displaying front cover photos in my book project

    After installing iphoto 11 the front cover page in my book project will not display the photos or the text, how ever the text will display if clicked on and then only 1 line at a time.  The photos on the  other hand will not.  When the photo boxes are clicked on, the border will highlight and the photo in the thumbnail list will be outline and the word "COVER" will appear when the curser is over the photo.  The back cover is fine.
    When the book is previewed the front cover is blank just as it appears in the working process.
    Is there a fix for this?  If the book is ordered will the photos magically in the hard copy?
    Bob

    Be sure to preview the book as described in this Apple document before ordering: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. If the PDF file is has no errors continue and order. Save the PDF file that is created for comparing to the printed copy when it arrives.

  • Why are most photos disappearing from albums in iWeb?

    I'm having a problem with the photo albums on iWeb.
    I drag a photo album from my iPhoto window in iWeb to the photo album web page and it becomes an album with slideshow capabilities. If I publish the site, everything appears fine. I save iWeb and exit.
    Now if I open iWeb again, all three of the photo album pages still exist, but on each page, only four of the original photos remain. The albums are supposed to have 29 photos, 35 photos, and 46 photos total. Now they each show four.
    I thought it was a fluke, so I added them all again including captions. Then I saved, closed and reopened iWeb. The photos in the web albums were gone again.
    I'm using iLife '09 with the iPhoto that exists on my laptop, but all the source photos are located on a Mac Mini in my local network. Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    Note that the complete album as uploaded to the actual website still exists and works great. But if I publish the changes, the album will disappear.
    Thanks.

    Look under "More like this" on the right of this page, specifically "Re: no photo selected"; the discussion there may be of help.

  • Photos disappearing from Flickr albums since update

    Since the update, some of my published Flickr albums are suffering from some sort of attrition. I have an event with 75 pictures, which I published to Flickr just fine (pro account, uploading original sizes). Now every time I click on it in iPhoto, it spins the "update" icon next to it, and a couple photos disappear out of the Flickr album, both in iPhoto and on Flickr's site itself. The album is down to 63 items now. The original photos in the iPhoto library are unaffected, it's just in the Flickr album.
    Anyone experiencing similar problems since the last update, or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Yup, it shows up fine. The problem is at the publication stage when making a new Flickr album in iPhoto; not all photos are being published, which is where the problems start.
    There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which photos aren't published. All the original photos, both in my iPhoto library and in Finder, are present and accounted for. Sometimes, they publish fine to Flickr, but later disappear from the iPhoto Flickr album so get re-downloaded from the Flickr website into my library, creating duplicates since the original photos are untouched.
    I'm quite baffled by the problem, and frustrated since I got married a week and a half ago and have dozens of people nagging me to see the photos. The only thing I haven't tried is publishing them in a lower resolution, which even if it works isn't exactly the ideal solution; original file size publication is why I pay for a Flickr account.
