Photos not appearing in view window

I have located all my photos on an external HD....well over a year ago. Never had any issues. Today I log on to do some work, and all of a sudden, where every photo should be in iPhoto viewer is a blank space....around 6500 library pics!
I've re-booted both external and mac several times but to no avail!
When looking at pics through Finder they are all there, but just not showing in iPhoto.
I've done NOTHING different!
Please help someone! Thanks! Kieren

Some things to try:
Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the library. Does iPhoto see it?
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If these don't work then you may have a corrupted library. 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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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 back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event 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.

Because Apple changed the way the caller's photo is displayed in iOS 7.1.

Photos in 9.2 do not appear when viewed through screen sharing

I recently upgraded my Mac Mini, which stores my master iPhoto library, to iPhoto 9.2. Because this Mac Mini is also used as a media server for an AppleTV, I almost always operate the computer through screen sharing using a MacBook Pro, rather than connecting it to a television. Both computers are running OS 10.6.8.
Since upgrading this setup to iPhoto 9.2, I can no longer view photos in my iPhoto library through screen sharing. Previously, I had noticed that I could not view certain other things through screen sharing (such as watching DVD's). For example, I couldn't view individual photos in detail in iPhoto, but I could view them in grid view. Now I cannot even view them in grid view anymore.
Is there a graphics library that is not compatible with screen sharing that is now being completely used by iPhoto? Is there a setting that I can check? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Michael.
I will give it a try.

First you should update to the latest version of Acrobat 8, since you say

IPod Touch not appearing in devices windows 7 x64

i have itunes on my hp notebook running on windows 7 x64. recently, my notebook crashed and was returned to me with a new drive c: and default factory settings (i.e brand new). i installed itunes and then... my itouch wasn't able to sync! it is not even appearing as a portable camera device (before my notebook crashed, it did). i went to check other forums and tried out the various apple support article (e.g. uninstall (4x already!), update drivers, restore itouch etc.etc.etc.)
anyway, when i run services.msc and check apple mobile device, the service is not started. when i start it, it says "The apple mobile device service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically when they are not in use by other services or programs)". I reckon this is what's stopping my itouch from being recognised and syncing to itunes. Talked to a itunes champion and he couldnt help.
Would deeply appreciate it if someone can help me. Been spending christmas and new year's cracking my brains over this =/

Try taking a photo with your iPod and see if it then appears as a camera device.
(I am really new at this but I had mine appear as a camera because of 1 picture I took. When I deleted it, it does not appear now but I can still get into itunes.)

TS3989 Photos Not Appearing in Photo Stream on PC

All of the sudden my photos in my photo stream on my iphone no longer appear in my photo stream on my pc (windows 8). Can anyone help with this? I tried the reset in icloud. Turned off all devices and turned back on but that did not work.

i am having the same problem . my icloud on my lap top windows 8.1 is showing empty as is my activity even though i have ticked the photo box ,

Email attachment photos not appearing as thumbnails

When I receive a Yahoo email using Safari, the email attachment preview photos appear as a grey box with an inner blue box with a question mark in the middle. When I checked my Yahoo email using Firefox, the email attachment preview photos also do not appear. They show up as a gray box with a broken image icon in the upper left corner. The difference between the two is that in Safari, I am unable to download the pictures and view them at all. Get a securedownload thing. In Firefox, I am able to download the pics successfully. The preview photos (thumbnails) used to appear at the bottom of my email messages and I was able to click on them and download. My question is: How do I fix this problem of not being able to view the attachment photo previews (ya know the ones beside the words "Scan and save this photo to your computer"?

Hi Lisa
Strange this would occur on both browsers. This may be another Yahoo problem. Last night, images did not appear in my Yahoo Mail. This morning they are back. Do you still see the problem? If you do...
Are you seeing the image problem on other web site pages, or is this specific to Yahoo? If occurring on various web sites in Safari usually indicates the "display images when page opens" box is not checked in the Safari Preferences>Appearance panel. The counterpart setting in Firefox would be Content>Load Images Automatically.
If not, are you using any 3rd party Internet blocking software?

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.

Take care,

Why do my photos not appear in icloud?

None of my photos appear in my icloud. When I open up the icloud on my PC, there isn't even a menu choice for photos. I have the Photos option selected on both my iPhone and iPad, but the photos never upload to iCloud. I am connected to WiFi as well.

Hi Vwgirl18,
It sounds like there should be an option to enable Photo Stream on your PC.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
PC:
Open the iCloud Control Panel for Windows and select the checkbox for Photos (or Photo Stream in iCloud Control Panel 2.x).
Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is on and adjust the settings.
Click Apply when you're done.
Further down it discusses how to view them:
How do I view My Photo Stream?
PC using Windows 8.1: From the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud Photos app.
PC using Windows 8: From the Start screen, select iCloud Photos (or Photo Stream in iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.12).
PC using Windows 7: Click the Windows Start button, then click Pictures. Click iCloud Photos or Photo Stream under the Favorites menu in the panel on the left. Double-click My Photo Stream to view your photos.
Take care,

Mail not displaying Message Viewer window

Hi,
Just installed Lion on a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac. After installing Lion, Mail refuses to display the message viewer window. I can open 'file > new message' and 'file > new note' windows but when selecting 'new viewer window' nothing happens, the same if I select 'Mail > Preferences'. Mail seems to be connecting and downloading messages okay but I can't view them!
Any help appreciated!
Chris

Simular problem:
Its iMail Version 6.3 (1503) which comes with a fresh install of 10.8.3.
Any email base64 encoded is corrupted or not shown.
eg Any message from and Exchange Client that has both plain text and html in the same message where the plain text section is Base64 encoded.
eg
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="_000_CD848A046C8D3_"
MIME-Version: 1.0
--_000_CD848A046C8D3_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
base 64 encoded block
-_000_CD848A046C8D3_
Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
base 64 encoded block
The work arround it to switch to the classic view, open the message there, then switch back to the modern view and the text of the message magically appears. Its probably something to do with the way in which the new iMail processes message bodies, that the older style viewer had fixed. (You can switch between classic view and modern view under the Vieweing preferences tab)
It also seems to impact sent messages or anything thats been base64 encoded.
Hopefully its such a major bug it will be fixed soon. (lol, like some of the bugs in iMail on 10.6.8 were fixed ?)

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.

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

Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
What should work:
Select the photos you want to share
File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.

ITunes miniplayer not appearing in taskbar Windows 7 64-bit

I am currently trying to add the little miniplayer in my taskbar, but it does not seem to work.
When I right-click my taskar and I go to Properties>Toolbars>Check iTunes and click Apply and close.
When I re-open iTunes and minimize it, it does not appear.
Then, when I go back to the properties of the toolbar the iTunes checkbox is UNCHECKED.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium and I am currently using iTunes Version 10.7
Thank you for your help!

I spent some time on the phone this morning with Apple. Here's a link they sent me: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
It's more than just uninstalling Itunes; there are 5 other apps that have to be uninstalled and in specific order. This particular Knowledge Base article applies to Windows Vista or Windows 7. For other Windows versions you'd have to look up the article for Windows XP.
Hope this helps.
