Photos that are in Faces display as exclamation mark

Photos that have been through "face recognition" now appear not to display. They show ok in thumbnail but when double clicked for full screen an exclamation mark is displayed.

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

To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
Click the Photos tab.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
If you want to sync all your photos, enable the option for "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, or faces, enable the option for "Selected albums, events, and faces" and then select the albums you want. If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).
Click Apply.
To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device
Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left.
Choose "Sync photos from."
Select Choose Folder from the pop-up menu and choose your main image folder.
Click Apply.

Cant get iMovie08 to show all photos that are in iphoto.

Can't get iMovie08 to show all photos that are in iphoto.
only shows about 30, when there are actually about 60 or so in one album.
any ideals?

Do the photos display correctly in the media browser when the mail library ("iPhoto") heading is selected? If so, you could simply add the photos from the library rather than the specific album. Alternately, if you have to select your photos from an "album," you could try reselecting the photos in the main library in the iPhoto application and create a different album to see if all photos then show up in the secondary album in the iMovie media browser.
If the "missing" photos do not show up under the main "iPhoto" heading in the iMovie media browser and do not show up in the main library in the iPhoto application, then the files may be corrupted. In this case, simply re-import the original files if possible. You could also try to force a rebuilding of the thumbnail cache, but this is usually done automatically when the application itself detects inefficiencies in thumbnail access or when the application is updated. In any case, there does not appear to be a manual menu option to do this arbitrarily when the user so desires. I suppose you could try to locate and delete the cache manually and hope this forces an automatic rebuild the next time the iPhoto application is opened but I am personally not that familiar with the package structure to advise such action at this time. You might check the iPhoto forum and see if anyone can help you further in this area of endeavor.

Hello i just came back from the apple store and they had to restore my phone and i just downloaded all my apps and music back but my photos that are on icloud i only got 80 out of 768 back. what do i do to get all of them back?

If you tried to restore to your iCloud backup and your photos didn't fully restore, first go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure it isn't still in the process of restoring.
If the restore is complete and all your photos weren't restored, all you can do is try restoring the backup again. You might try the solution posted by ezjules in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This involves opening the photos app after the phone restarts and you provide the passwords for your Apple IDs, then leaving it open for the remainder of the restore process.

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

Hi !
I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
That brings me to my question.
How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
Has anybody a good hint for me?
Thomas

You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone. This has never been a feature of iphone.
You sync them as you would anything esle.
You select photos from the photos tab. Whatever is selected will be on your iphone. Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

A client gave me he's mini Ipad wifi as a gift.It has all his information:photos, music, contacts, etc.I also took some photos that are in camera roll. I would like to erase everithing and make it totaly mine but don't want to loos my photos and his music

A client gave me he's mini Ipad wifi as a gift.
It has all his information:photos, music, contacts, etc. I also took some photos that are in camera roll. I would like to erase everithing and make it totaly mine but don't want to loose my photos and his music which is very good. How should I do???

Resetting the settings will reset things like the wallpaper to the default. It wont remove the apps or music.
As the previous poster said, the apps and music will be tied to the previous owners Apple ID, you'll need the password to update the apps and remain authorized to play the music.
I would suggest taking your stuff off (the camera pictures) then erasing all content and settings so the iPad is like new. For privacy reasons alone I would erase the device. I realise you want to keep the music, but since you haven't paid for it (it was purchased under someone elses ID) then it isn't yours to keep, you'll need to write down the tracks and purchase them under your ID.

Imovie HD 6.0.3 not working with any photos that are 3MB or larger?!?

I am unable to see any pictures I have taken with my new high resolution camera that takes photos at 3MB and larger file size. They can not be seen in the preview pain nor in the timeline bar to be able to edit them. I can use and see all my old photos that are less than 3MB in size just fine. I have tried changing my playback settings with no help. The strangest thing is though I can some times see them and manipulate them but inevitably they go black again in the preview pain and the time line in iMovie. Can anyone help.

Thank you for your help but I have only deleted a few pictures and I have hundreds and none of them will render. They all still appear as black. And are you talking about re-importing all my new pictures into iphoto and then dragging them into imovie through the quick view media window? I went to one orignal photo and directly dragged and dropped it into a project that is having the trouble and it imports ok and then when the red bar in the time line makes it to the end of the picture frame section it goes black again. Also I created a brand new project and dragged and dropped 4 new original pictures into the time line and the same thing happened. The most confusing part is that it works fine with any older picture I have that is less than the 3MB size picture I have from our new 12 megapixel camera by Cannon which stores the files in .JPG format. Is it possibly a glitch or a corrupt program file within imovie itself? I have also restarted the program and the computer just in case and there is no change.

HT201317 Is there a way to get photos that are over 30 days old onto icloud (and then to my windows computer through photostream)?

I was wondering if there was a way to get the photos that are over 30 days old into my photostream on my computer. My iPhone 5 has 1,000 photos in the photostream but only the ones that are less than 30 days old go on to my computer. I can't find any setting on icloud either- just yes/no photostream and then my photostream and the share option. I want to do this so I can view my older photos on my computer so I can save them in my computer's library.
Thanks!

No. PhotoStream only stores a maximum of 1000 photos for up to 30 days as stated in all descriptions of the service. You're supposed to download photos you want to keep within 30 days of them going to PhotoStream.
PhotoStream is not a permanent storage solution.

Photos transferred from your computer are removed from the iPhone the same way they were transferred from your computer, via the iTunes sync process. To remove all such photos, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

I've just imported photos that are misdated and appear out of order in my events. How can I correct the dates on these events so they appear properly?

HT201317 How can i get all the photos that are in my photo stream on my mac onto my new iPhone?

How do I get the photos that are in my photo stream on my mac in iphoto onto my iphone 5?

By syncing them from your iphoto using that article
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes - Apple - Support
Or if last 30 days of pictures is enough for you, you just need to sign in to your icloud on the phone and turn photostream "ON".

HT4910 What do I do if "My Photo Stream" isn't showing all my photos that are showing in my "My Photo Stream" on my Mac? How do I fix this?

What do I do if the 900 something photos that are in My Photo Stream are not showing up on my IPhone in the My Photo Stream. The photo stream option is on as well yet its not transferring all my photos.. as well as I am connected to Wifi

If you just turned photo stream on, it's likely that the missing 649 photos are older than 30 days and thus are no longer in icloud to stream to your device.
Did you turn photo stream off and back on, or sign out of your iCloud account, then sign back in?
