Photos not appearing in apps outside iPhoto

I recently added 2 new events in iPhoto and everything looks fine in iPhoto. The problem is that the 2 new events and the photos/videos inside those 2 events do not appear in iMovie. iMovie sees everything but the 2 most recent events.
I have rebuilt the thumbnail database and the photo database, but still no luck. My iPhoto library is housed on an external NAS (Buffalo Tech) device.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Sharing between iPhoto and others apps is governed by a file in the Library package called the AlbumData.xml file. The other apps read this file to be aware of the iPhoto content. Your problem is here:
My iPhoto library is housed on an external NAS (Buffalo Tech) device.
When stored on a disk formatted anything except Mac OS Extended (Journaled) iPhoto can have problems formatting the XML file. Other folks report issues with saving edits and importing photos.
The only solution is to have your Library on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

TD

  • New Photos not appearing in iPhoto but are in Show Contents

    Hello,
    I am have a few issues with iPhoto.
    1. My last two imports of photos do not appear.  the Last import is showing photos from back in 2013.  If I Show Contents I can drill down and see in Master, Original a 2014/04/12  & 13 folder with sub folders and all the pictures.  I made a not of the file names and back in Iphoto I tried to search for the image name but it did not retrn any results
    2. I have had to force quit iPhoto 2-3 times in the past two days
    3. Today when I open iPhoto, the Events do not show photo is is a black box.  If I scroll up and down it then shows some photos, like I would nomally see.
    Do this issue seem to indicate a problem with iPhoto, is there an index type issuse.. can I rebuild iPhoto in some way
    For point 1, can i delete the folders in the "Show Content" option and reimport them?
    Thanks

    For point 1, can i delete the folders in the "Show Content" option and reimport them?
    No.  If you know the file name of the photos that are not showing do a search form them with the search tool:
    If the image shows up Control (right) - click on it and select Show Event from the contextual menu.
    If it does'nt kdo the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Organizer photos not appearing on iPhoto after I downloaded them

    I have Elements 12 and some photos I downloaded from iPhoto to Organizer now are not appearing on iPhoto, and are grouped together as a folder in Organizer, instead of appearing individually in Organizer

    Memory is getting small
    By memory do you mean free disk space? How much free space do you have? It's strongly recommended that a minimum of 10GB free space be maintained (20 GB if you use iDVD a lot) for optimal system and application performance.
    By searching for thumbnails can you explain further? Do you get a message?

  • Iphone photos not appearing in Iphoto

    When I used to plug my Iphone into my Imac, Iphoto started up and my I phone pictures appeared on the screen and I was given the option to import them, or not, into Iphoto; and I thought isn't this easy.
    Now when I plug my Iphone in it still charges like it used to but Iphoto does not appear. If I manually open I photo it acknowledges that the Iphone is plugged in but no photos from my iphone are shown.
    I don't think I have changed any settings.
    Please help!

    Hi,
    Hmm..it should automatically sync your photos. But sometimes, the problem might be from your iPhoto. Check if your iPhoto on both devices is updated. Try restarting your computer too. I think updating the iPhoto on both devices is probably the fix. Try giving it a shot.

  • Photos not appearing correctly on 2nd mac

    I maintain an iPhoto library in a shared folder on an iMac and my wife accesses it from a Macbook. We do not use iPhoto concurrently. Both macs are connected (wired) to an Airport Extreme. iPhoto behaves well on the iMac (where the library resides but when we try to access it from the Macbook the events appear correctly and the thumbnails as well. When we click on an individual photo it appears for one second and then the screen goes blank. This is not consistent - pictures from a Canon S3IS are OK. Pictures from a Nikon D3000 usually cause cause the problem. I suspect it is related to the higher resolution of the pictures, Any ideas? Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Lancaster,
    iPhoto has a built in sharing ability that allows you to share photos iPhoto 7.0 Help (iLife '08): Sharing your photos between computers on a network
    Accessing the iPhoto Library package over a network connection using File Sharing is not something I would recommend. The shear amount of the data you are trying to push actively across the network combined with the fact that iPhoto was not designed to read a streaming iPhoto Library may be the cause of your issue.
    Consider the following instead:
    - Copy the Library to your other computer locally
    - Use the built in sharing feature in iPhoto
    - Use MobileMe to share images (I like this option less because it does not necessarily share a full quality image file. )
    Hope that helps

  • Photos not appearing on the photo map on iPhone 6

    Hi,
    I got a new iPhone 6 yesterday. I had until then been using the iPhone 5. When iOS 8 came out I had to delete a lot of photos from the iPhone 5 to get space for the update. I backed up all my photos on my Macbook. Yesterday I synced all of my photos onto my new iPhone 6.
    A strange thing is that in the map function on the Photos app only the photos that were not synced (i.e. those that had remained on the iPhone 5 and were part of the iCloud backup) appear on the map. It seems that the "map info / gps coordinates" on the synced photos somehow have been lost. However in the Photos app the names of the places / towns where the photos were taken still appear (they were all taken with my iPhone 5) so there clearly is some gps coordinate information there. To make this even more confusing, YESTERDAY, right after syncing all these photos DID appear on the photos map, but this morning they do not (only the photos that were not synced do).
    Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggested solutions? I really loved being able to see exactly where my holiday photos etc were taken, so I hope I have not lost this for the synced photos permanently.
    Many thanks,
    S

  • Why are my iPhone photos not appearing in photo stream?

    When I first downloaded iCloud photos taken on my iphone automatically apeared in photo stream on my macbook.  This is not happening anymore.  I have automatic photo steam enabled in settings and iphoto preferences.

    HI ...
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect it then restart the Mac.
    On your iPhone tap Settings > iCoud
    Switch Photo Stream off then back on then restart the device.
    Restart your device: Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears.  Slide to power off.  After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.

  • Photos not appearing in photostream

    I have updated my iphone 4s to ios 7.0.3. Now when I take photos they are not appearing in my photostream. I always take photos by going into the app, never the lockscreen.

    I have tried EVERY suggestion but still my phone will not move photos into the photostream folder OR show them on my 2 other devices.  Like some others I have updated my phone and that is when the problems started.
    Any other suggestions PLEASE someone.

  • N97 mini - Photos not appearing

    On several occassions now I have taken photos with my phone but they do not appear in the gallery untill days, sometime weeks later. I know they are there because I can find them  when connected to a PC using nokia browser.
    I have tried restarting my phone to get them to appear, no joy. Swapped over where it stores the photos, still no joy.. Updated software and again still no joy.
    When they do eventually appear on the phone they display in Downloads, not in Captured
    Any thoughts or solutions?

    They should appear straight away, but what is the default saving folder set in the options in the camera app in the applications folder ? set to E Mass memory, see if it helps, also try Nokia Photo Browser from beta labs.

  • Friend photos not appearing on watch

    Anybody have this issue? I have contacts on my iPhone with photos but only some appear on the Watch.

    Hello heywatchit,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that the contact photos are not appearing on your Apple Watch.  When you view your friends in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, do you see their photos there?
    Get in touch with friends - Apple Watch User Guide
    If you do see the photos in the Apple Watch app but not on the Apple Watch itself, then I'd like you to restart both your Apple Watch and iPhone.
    Restart Apple Watch.  To turn off Apple Watch, press and hold the side button until the sliders appear, then drag the Power Off slider to the right. To turn Apple Watch back on, hold down the side button until the Apple logo appears.
    Restart the paired iPhone.  To turn off iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the slider appears, then drag the slider to the right. To turn iPhone back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Restart Apple Watch - Apple Watch User Guide
    Take care,

  • Photos not imported message after opening iPhoto 08

    Has anyone ever experienced following Problem:
    Everytime I open iPhoto it appears this error message: "9 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them?". If I choose yes, iPhoto shuts down after a short while. If I choose no, it works, but everytime I do so, one foto is added to the fotos left to import.
    How do I get rid of this fotos?

    alterkram
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right click on it and choose 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window opens with your library inside. You should see a folder there called 'Importing' or perhaps 'Last Import' (NOT Auto Import). In side will be the offending files. Drag that folder to the desktop and launch iPhoto. Does it work normally?

  • Why do some photos not appear in the book I am creating?

    I am composing two books at the moment and will want to order them shortly.
    The problem I have is that, sometimes the photos do not appear when you drag them into the book - it just shows an exclamation mark. However if you look at the layout in the top section, it appears.
    The photos not showing are either very high-res digital pictures from a professional photographer or scanned photos, but the scanned ones are of similar (OK) quality and identical resolution to others which are visible.
    I am worried what will happen when I go to order the book - will these pictures not upload?
    Does anyone know why this is happening or a fix?

    Jim Jam
    sometimes the photos do not appear when you drag them into the book - it just shows an exclamation mark.
    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
    Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Edited photos not appearing in Organizer

    Found what appears to be another problem in PSE8.  Roughly 30-40% of the time, photos edited from the Organizer do not appear in the Organizer after saving.  Select a photo in the Organizer, Select Quick Edit from the Orange Edit tab at top right, make edits, Save As with save in version set and include in organizer checked, close the photo.  Photo saves to folder location correctly with "_edited-1" appended to file name.  Photo frequently does not appear in the organizer in a Stack with the original like it is supposed to.  Manually dragging the photo into the organizer from the folder adds it to the Catalog, proving it was not added like it was supposed to be.  In one case, after dragging the photo into the organizer and selecting both photos to create a Stack, the Stack option was not availalbe in the right click menu (or in any menus).  Had to shutdown and restart PSE8 to be able to Stack the photos.  These were large JPG photos made with Canon 7D.  If somebody knows a workaround or possible cause, let me know.  Otherwise this is another one for a PSE8 update to resolve.

    There is a limit to the file size the Organizer will handle.  Here is aTechNote dealing with PSE 5/6.  I don't know if it also applies to PSE 8:
