Photos not showing only in thumbnail

I have imported photos to my macbook...when I look at them later...some are missing, there is a blank space there,but they still show in thumbnails at the top of the event....please help.

Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

Photos not showing, only gray boxes

so i opened up my iPhoto, and some of my pics aren't showing. they show when i click on them, but the like thumbnails aren't showing. only gray boxes. like the outline of the box is a dotted gray line.
help?

You can add a title to a pic in iPhoto - you do it - and everything else - in the iPhoto Window. However this does not rename the file. If you want to access the pics, the filename is irrelevant:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
If yiu want to export a copy of a pic, using the Title as Filename, then use the File -> Export command. It’s one of the options in that dialogue.

My Photo Not Showing Up in Messages

My photo does not show beside my texts in Messages on my Mac. Only a shadow of a generic person in a rectangle is there. I can see the photos of others who write me, though. I have my photo in Contacts and it does show up in Mail, but not in Messages. My photo also shows up in IMessage on the iPad.
Why is my photo not showing up in Messages and how could I make it visible? Thanks.

HI,
Your Pic is set if you have Buddy list set up/logged in.
Enable the Bonjour account if you do not have Jabber, AIM or Yahoo IDs set up in Messages.
Click on the current Buddy Pic.
You may find it has pulled the Pic from the My Card in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
In turn this may be picking up on the System Preferences > User and Groups > your account Login pic.
That is to say when you set up the (Mac User) Account it asked you to create/chose a pic from the Login Screen.
Later the process of setting up an Accounts asked for details that create the Contacts/Address Book Card and the Login in pic is dragged across.
AS you then get to set up Messages (Or iChat) then the My Card pic is pulled through.
All three spots can be changed independently of each other.
Some of the Recent Items can be from either of the others.
This is my Buddy list pic and th "Recents" I have.
The Zebra and head in "teeth" pics are from some testing I did with Pics in the Contacts > My Card options rather than Messages.
Finally once you have a pic linked to Messages then it also show up at your end for the Chat window for iMessages (as well as for you in AIM or Jabber)
NOTE
In AIM and Jabber (Or Yahoo) your Pic is Broadcast and is what you Buddy sees next to your Name (They can override this though)
In iMessages though your pic is not sent and your Buddy's Contacts app supplies whatever pic they have for you. (As yours does for them)

Slideshow: why do certain photos not show?

slideshow: why do certain photos not show; they are properly referenced
Let me expand on this: I have 570 photos in a slide show and all are properly referenced in my library. In the slideshow window, I can see all the pics in the bottom box and when I run "preview slideshow", certain pictures don't appear in the top box whilst the curser moves across the picture in the bottom box. Likewise, if I run the full screen slideshow, that picture(s) does not appear (I have a blank screen); the next picture does show up, howerver... This happens with several dozen pictures, always the same, randomnley amongst the 570...

Hello Tony and thank you. I regenerated and rebuilt thumbnails; I deleted the slide show and rebuilt it; nothing works. Now, I noticed something weird. All pictures are in an Aperture project and are properly referenced as I said; all the pictures in this project come from a old iPhoto project where some of the pictures are in a "Modified" folder, others in an "Original" project; it is all the pictures in the "Original" project that don't show up in the slide show.... Do you have any idea what I should do?

Preview icon not showing when in thumbnail. (Sketchu

Hello,
I recently updated my MBP to Yosemite and installed sketchup on it.
The preview icon of my sketchup files are not showing when in thumbnail. But as i increase the size of the icon from thumbnail in viewoption i.e from 64px x 64px to 124px x 124px it shows. So my icon is shown as blank without any app logo. Also when i change my view from thumbnail to coverflow or something it shows. Otherthan thumbnail everything works.
So where is the error in it?
Please help...
Thanks
Amar

Try the standard fixes:
- Rest. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. - Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

Photos not showing on Apple TV

What reson would there be for some photos not showing in apple TV?
Ta

Yes, tried that but all that happened was that my Home Sharing although shown turned on on both Apple TV and iTunes did not allow me to connect to my Library, could access You Tube so WiFi connection O.K.. Tried switching Home Sharing off and then on again on Apple TV but that didn't access my Library so had to go back into iTunes on my Mac and switch off Home Sharing and switch it back on again there which then allowed me access to my Library. This resolved the problem as photos I had just taken were now viewable ( This however has happened before so not a new problem, suspect the router but as I am changing ISP soon, going to BT Infinity, hope that will solve that problem.)

Movie not showing, only photos

Hi, When I try to put DVD's that I took from my camra, it did not show in the actuall movie, only photo's will show. I don't know how to resolve the problem.
Intel core duo macmini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Your camera is not compatible with iMovie so you will need to convert the DVD files to something iMovie can use...read this:
Using Mpeg (DVD) footage

And get one or two of these helpful tools:

P.S. Really-I'd think about returning the camera and getting a DV Tape camera with firewire.

Some photos not showing in my Camera Roll album, can only find them if I use 'Places' and select where I took the photo

Basically as the title says, I've noticed when trying to find some photo's I've taken in the past few months in my Camera Roll album (in the Photo's app), I can't find them anymore.
But, if I choose 'Places' (instead of Albums at the bottom of the Photo's app) and select the place/location I took the photos, I can easily see them.
I have an iPhone 4S on iOS 5.1. Based on the photo's missing, it appears it's happened to photos between 11th January to around 10th March. But I was definately able to seem them in the camera roll during that time (as I specifically remember a set of photo's I took I constantly referred back to around February. I can now only find them if I choose the location where I took them).
I've reset the unit and performed a sync, but still can't see them in the Camera Roll.
Any ideas?

If you deleted them from photo stream, the only way to get them back in photo stream on your device is to add them to the camera roll as new photos. If you don't need high resolution versions in photo stream, this can be done by simply opening each photo and taking a screenshot. If you do want higher resolution versions in photo stream your options are either to email them to yourself, then save them to your camera roll, or add them to a shared photo stream album.

IPhone photos not showing up on Mac

I have an iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.1.1. I have iCloud Photos beta turned on. When I connect the iPhone to my mac (mavericks, yosemite show same result) (or another mac, haven't tried a PC) it shows only 373 photos & videos when I have 2000. I cannot get any application (iPhoto, Camera import, FCP X) to show the 2000 photos. All the photos/videos are available on iCloud Photos on the web. I have not imported for a while, so I do not know when this issue started. I did have a problem a few weeks ago where the iPhone wouldn't show any photos/videos at all, just black thumbnails with 0:00. Any ideas?

If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Edited photos not showing in full screen

I have edited some photos (crop and/or colour adustments). Although the thumbnail is still visible, it will not load in full screen mode - I'll only see a gree square with an explanation mark.
Even more annoying, a photo book I'd ordered came with grey spaces: again the thumbnail appeared allright, but if I click to view the page I get this screen picture holder. I'll have to ask for a reimbursement, but in the mean time, I'd like to know what to do.
thanks in advance

I'm having some trouble posting. Sorry for my last post with only original message showing and my comments missing.
I am having trouble with full screen also but not quite the same. I cannot get a previosly edited photo to show full size on the full screen. It only transfers in the same small size as it is in the Library source screen even though I clk on the preference for "edit in full screen." Any idea what is wrong?

Photos not showing up in Mail

I'm using Mail 4.4. Recently most of the e-mails I receive with embedded photos now show a blue box with a question mark instead of a photo. This has only been happening for a couple of months. Photos added as an attachment can be viewed all right in Quick Look. Does anyone have any idea why or how I can correct it?

This is normally the result of the sender having linked to a photo on a remote server, rather than actually attaching it. Then when it is sent to you, the link does not find the server with image.
More info, please, including analyzing whether the message size could in fact contain the expected image?

Photos not showing up in iMovie project after transferring project to external hard drive

I just finished moving my iMovie '11 projects and events to an external hard drive. In one particular project (the only one I've used photos in), the photos will not play back when I watch it in the preview window. The picture shows up in the project editing window, but during playback the computer seems to use the last frame of the last played video. All of the previous settings are the same, it will just not show the pictures. I've tried re-inserting them, even trying different pictures that were not used originally, but nothing seems to work. I've also tried closing iMovie and restarting it, but no luck.

Hi all
I am having the same problem - all a bit wierd. Yesterday I could drag and drop images from finder into my project. Today, I can drag andf drop the images from finder and they display in the project - but not when it is played.
I tried importing the images into iphoto and dragging them from the media selection window - still no joy - I can see them in the proejct - but they just don't show when played.
Is it because the project has been marked as finished in some way - although I haven't finalised it?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
