Photos do not appear in editing window: iPhoto 5.0.4

I have a Powerbook G4 with iPhoto 5.0.4. None of my photos--from the library, last 25 rolls, last 18 months, the slide shows, various folderes and all the books--open in the editing window. Just a black screen. I haven't a clue--the last time I opened iPhoto (about six months ago) the photos appeared as usual. Now, just a blank screen.
Help?

Terence:
Maybe I spoke too soon; I used the iPhoto rebuilding software as you said, and it saved 786 photos in a "recovered photo" folder. After opening iPhoto, the editing window eventually shows the vertical and horizontal photos--but just outlined boxes with nothing in them. I clicked on one to open it, and it ultimately opened--as a black box! No photo, even though the system shows a recovered photo folder and the number of photos at the bottom of the editing window.
Now what??
It'll be daylight in a few hours in your neighborhood, as we begin to darken here in Southern California. I'll check the discussions tomorrow to see if you have any new strategies.
Thanks,
Richard

  • Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Photo from iMessage saved to my camera role, how come the saved photo is not available to edit with iPhoto on my iPhone?

    When I save a photo from iMessage to my camera role, how come the saved photo is not available to edit with iPhoto on my iPhone?

    I tapped a photo in Messages to vie it full screen.
    Tapped the Share icon and saved it to my camera roll.
    Opened iPhoto for iOS and my image library updated. After the update I could see the image in my camera roll. I selected the amera roll, then tapped the image I had copied from Messages. I was able to edit the photo with no problem.
    Did you follow this same procedure or ry to copy the little thumbnail photo from Messages?

  • Why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?

    why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?  Within iMovie, it appears as though videos can be imported from the iPhoto library.  However, within iPhoto there are no videos that appear within the Library.  Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto from a shared photo stream?  if not, how can videos be imported into iPhoto?

  • Photos do not appear in imovie 11. black screen with frozen movie clip

    Imovie 11 Photos do not appear in the movie a black screen for picture in picture or a frozen screen with sound and no photo

    Yes
    There is one possibility
    • AVI or .avi is no Video Format/Codec - it is a container and usually contains something iMovie can not use OK.
    Open it with QuickTime-player and then open inspector (cmd+I) and read
    • Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnnnnnn
    What does it read ? (all of it)
    from wife Nikon D300s I read
    Yours the same ?
    Either I would
    • import it into iPhoto and in iMovie import from title iPhoto Movies at top in Events window - or
    • convert it into streamingDV .dv or AIC and use this.
    AND - my read 24fps - I would convert this to PAL 25fps or to NTSC 29.97 (if for US) by JES_Deinterlacer.

  • HT1229 Ive move photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?

    Hi Ive moved photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?
    Also I have many duplicate photos (from backups)  It would be great to be able to remove all duplicates at one time, like in Itunes.
    Can this be done?

    You moved what photos from where and to where?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • Photo will not open to edit...get a triangle error

    photo will not open to edit...get a triangle error

    This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
    this can be caused by two things
    1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto  library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2  or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the to library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you ran them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of them ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
    2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - IIf it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

  • Why are my Photos albums not appearing in Flickr?

    Anyone know why my albums that I create in Photos do not appear in Flickr? The photos appear but just in the photostream.

    Where is it you want the navigation to appear?
    Try this CSS -
    #mainnav {
    clear: both;
    display: block;
    float:right;
    margin-right:50px;
    margin-top:25px;
    overflow:hidden;
    padding:0;
    width:350px;
    Is that anywhere close?
