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.

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.

When you import photos to your ipad from your iMac , 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.

I have installed the latest OS X Updaate 10.8.4 - several times on my iMac, with restarts, but it won't disappear from my App Store update list. Why?

I have installed the latest OS X Updaate 10.8.4 - several times on my iMac, with restarts, but it won't disappear from my App Store update list. Why? ..and how do I get rid of it?

I had a similar problem with trying to update using the App Store, and being told that the software was "installed" yet I was still only running 10.8.3.
The App Store was continually saying the 10.8.4 was available but with many tries I still could not download or install it.
And there are a few links to the OSX 10.8.4 (Combo) update that actually lead to a "Cant find this page error" on the Apple site and the App Store.
I did find a link to just the vanilla flavoured OSX 10.8.4 update here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1658 which is a smaller download of 359mb rather than 849mb with the combo update.
The simple OSX 10.8.4 update downloaded fine with Safari and I installed it with no problems from the finder. A few opening's on closing's of the App Store app made the update flag finally disappear.
I have since come back here to report this and then found the link to 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo) at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659 above and found that this link also starts to download the update through Safari and while I decided that I no longer needed it, I would presume that it would still install fine from the finder like the OSX 10.8.4 update did.
So it seems to me that there is a problem with (maybe occasionally) updating from the App Store, but if you download from either of the two "hard" links above and install from the finder it should be fine.

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

First i imported my photos to iphoto 8.1.2 when it finished, asked me if i want to "delete them from the camara" i clicked yes and 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.
You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

Maintaining Photo Sequence from An Album To A Memory Stick (Flash Drive)

In iPhoto '11, Mac OS x 10.6.7, I want to copy the precise photo sequence I have in an album to a memory stick, for input into a photo frame (so the photos will play in proper sequence in the photo frame slideshow mode). Problem is the photos exported from the album to the stick lose the sequence I arranged in the album. Within the album I did a batch change and separated the photos by 1 minute, which I thought would "cement" the sequence of the photos from the album to the stick. Wrong. The photos exported to the stick kept their original date / time imported (also called modified) and thus did not keep the sequence I established in the album. FYI, all these photos were originally hard photos and were scanned into iPhoto library and later put into an album - thus the sequence within the album was manually arranged because the original input scanning was random. So, now that I have nicely sequenced photos within an album, how do I export and maintain the sequence from an album onto a stick?
Thanks,
H

The photos exported to the stick kept their original date / time imported (also called modified) and thus did not keep the sequence I established in the album.
When you modify the date of the Photos in iPhoto you change the Exif metadata of the shot. This is standard photo metadata and how every photo app tracks the date and time of the photograph.
When you export to the Finder (as you do when you send them to the memory stick) it uses File metatada to sort. This is not the same as Exif and the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So this trick won't work for you. You need to use something that the Finder understands and will sort on
Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Set your photos in the order you want
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

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.

EXACT same thing happened with Facebook...

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.

Albums /photos "disappear" from Iphoto 08

Hello
I used Iphoto 08 for many years.
Recently I need to send some photos taken in 2004/2005 to some friends.
Unfortunately, I notice that some albums "disappear" from Iphoto 08.
I don't think I have deleted them by accident or whatsoever .
So, what is the cause and is there any way of "recuperating" these albums ?
Many thanks for your advice,help !

James:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What exactly are you referring to by the "burn folder" feature on Tiger? Did you create a folder on the desktop and then move the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder into the one on the desktop? If that's what you did and then deleted that folder from the desktop you have deleted all of your photos. The iPhoto Library folder that you now see in the Pictures folder was created when you launched iPhoto the next time and it will be empty.
If you haven't used you computer much since then you may be able to undelete those photos with Data Rescue or SubRoas File Salvage. Use you're computer as little as possible until you've had a chance to run one of these applications.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

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.

I have lost pictures in my albums. Only some. I deleted same photos from last 18 months because they were duplicates. Did this make the pictures disappear from yhe albums?

I have lost the pictures in most of my albums. After I creatd the albums, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them. Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased? My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it was not. Help

Was that in iPhoto on your Mac or on your iPad?
, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them.
Then, sorry to say, you will have deleted the photos from your iPhoto library.
Have you checked iPhoto's Trash and the Trash on your Desktop, if the photos are still there? Then put them back from iPhoto's Trash or move them back from the trash basket on your Desktop.
Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased?
Albums do not store photos or duplicate photos - they are a way to group photos that are stored in events, just an index, showing you a subset of the photos in the library. A photo can be used in many albums, without needing more storage. When you delete a photo from its event, it will be removed from all albums, and all other views of the iPhoto library. Never delete a phot from its event, unless you want to remove it completely from your iPhoto library. A photo is only a duplicate, unless you have imported the same file twice and you see the copy in an event.
iPhoto has several views, that may show you the same photos in different groupings, for easy access, but do not contain duplicates.
If you cannot retrieve your photos from the Trashs, restore your iPhoto Library from the last backup, that contains all photos. If there is no recent backup, you may want to try recovery software - then stop using your mac and don't do anything that writes to your harddisk, until you recovered, what is still on your disk.
For example,
Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
usually makes a very good job of finding any jpegs, that still can be found on the harddrive.
My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it was not.
I don't understand, why you mention the iPad? Have you synced your photos to your iPad and are there still copies of them in your albums on the iPad?
Regards
Léonie

New Events are appearing from Flickr Albums

New Events are being created from the pictures that are located in some (but not all) of my flickr synced albums. The flickr albums then are synced with the photos in these events. So I can't just delete the event as it then deletes all of the photos that are synced. Any help would be great in resolving the issue. My current idea is that I will just stop syncing with flickr but I really enjoy the feature.

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and 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.
