Photos in all album gone, but can see it under photo/event

Hi there,
All my photos gone in album (album gone too, just left with folder) after I switched on the computer this morning. However, most of the photos are (just not the photos which I uploaded yesterday) are basically "safe" under photo/ event, just not in the album list.
Any idea what can I do so I don't have to sort out all the photo again? I guess it must be some reasons till all the albums+most of the photos gone without clicking anything but just switched on the computer.
I've checked with lots of forums but seem nothing work with my situation. I am using iPhoto'11 and I have bout 500GB space in my hard-Drive.
Thanks!!!

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.

  • Help. I downloaded the OS lion. Then I imported some photos with the "iPhoto". But I see only the photos in the "last import" but I can not see in the library or photos of events, although they are marked as a number.

  • I cannot see the ad photos in Kijiji using Firefox but can see them using Explorer

    I tried uninstalling Firefox and then downloading it again. This just started happening about 3 weeks ago - fine before that.On Kijiji I can see pictures on the beginning page but when I go to the ads - say pet services - the photos do not load.

    I have Addblock Plus on Firefox (tools, add-ons, Addblock)
    I noticed that it was updated on july 2, 2011. I disabled it and now I can view the add's in Kijiji. Hope it helps

  • Can't see external exFAT hard drive in finder - but can see it under disk utility

    I have tried it all.
    Running Mac Air OS X Lion 10.7.3 - connected to wifi network via 3TB Time Capsule. Just bought an external HDD for moving around. Formatted as exFAT and loaded files from a friends Windows 7 PC. Tried to plug into TC but couldn't see it neither in Finder nor Time Machine. Then plugged it directly into Mac Air, still not visible under Finder. Tried the following without much success either:
    - Used the Verify & Repair functions in Disc Utility: No errors found
    - Tried to Mount in Disc Utility: Refused (advised to run First Aid) - Ran first aid twice and still can't mount
    - Used various apple scripts to unhide it: still not visible
    - Went to Finder - Go - Computer: Still not visible
    I'm now creating an image of the disc with the hope that I can mount the disc and acccess the files in it. Should this not work (and I have a strange feeling that it wont), what can I do (without the need to format the drive?)
    Thanks

  • Within Facebook, I have '6' photo albums.  On my iPad Air or my iPhone 4S, when I go into Photos, select a photo to send to Facebook, I only see '2' Facebook photo albums listed!  Thoughts on how I can get my 'I' devices to recognize all '6' FB albums?

    OMG, I totally did not see the edit button at the top right corner of the Albums window/page.
    Selecting that, then selecting the album BIKE brought up the RED button to the left of the album and ta-da, delete.
    Sometimes I seek so hard I do not see.

  • I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2. (424) today a few photos will not open.  I can see them as thumbnails but they try to open and then a big ! mark appears

    I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2. (424).   Today a few photos will not open.  I can see them as thumbnails but when I  try to open them they start to open and then a big ! mark appears.  I have not had this problem before.  Can you help

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager 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.

  • Cant see my iTunes, Photos or Movies, but can see YouTube?

    Just open the brand new Apple TV. It arrived this morning. Used all the right ID's and passwords and can see YouTube and rent films, but the home movies, photo's and music is only showing up on the MacBook Pro. The Apple TV remote seems to work fine all of it and will allow me to see everything on the Macbook pro. I've tried, rebooting, laptop and and Apple TV, resetting Apple TV, switched on, then off and back on again Home Sharing in Itunes on the Macbook pro. Why cant I see my iTunes, Photos or Movies on my TV Screen, but can see YouTube through Apple TV? I'm going crazy!!!!!

    Worked out this solution. iTunes needed upgrading to 10.0.1. Did this and now it works fine.

  • Can't find photo library but I can see them in photo editing apps???

    When I go to my photo app on my ipad I can see some photos but not all of them. When I tried to open one of the photo editing apps I have all of my pictures are there. Why can't I see them in the other photo app where they use to be. To my knowledge nothing has been changed on the ipad, I just noticed it one day. Thank you!!

    you do not say which photo app you can only see some of them in.
    if you are looking "Photos" with the rainbow flower icon, then this is only your camera roll, not all of  your photos.  So any new photo you take will appear in your camera roll, and you can upload old photos into your camera roll, but it is not meant to have all your photos there.   Think of it like a roll of film in a camera, you use it for a while, then you take it out and put a new roll in. 

  • Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library.

    I was trying to Import photos from my Facebook photo to my MacBookAir and now all i got is lots of back round photo. Please Help me out to delete them.Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library.

    What that's telling you is that some of the photos you want to use are not in your Library but online in a gallery you have linked to. You need to download them first.

    I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.  
    "Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
    The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
    What do they mean by published albums?  I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
    I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
    Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
    Confused and frustrated...

    Give this a try:  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.

  • I backed up my iPhone to iTunes, but can't find my photos and they need deleting

    Hi, I'm new to this but I will really appreciate your help if I ever get this sorted.
    I have an iPhone 5s and it is completely full to the point where I can't take anymore photos or save any more, its so frustrating, also I'm taking this phone back this weekend to the apple store for a replacement because it's faulty. So I backed it up on my boyfriend's laptop, on iTunes - then I checked the whole computer - all the folders for my photos, I only found one folder with 100 photos - when I've got 2,300 on my phone.... But the back up was complete. So I don't know what to do, because the photos need deleting to free up memory. When I try to delete photos from Collections - it says "This photo will also be deleted from photo stream on all your devices". Help please!
    Thanks!

    An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
    The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer:  Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
