Photos there, but not in Albums?

I recently upgraded an iPhoto Library to iPhoto 08. All of the Albums I created before the upgrade are there, but there are no photos in any of the Albums. Is there a way to remedy this?
I've been using Brian Webster's iPhoto Library Manager to use multiple libraries.
Thanks,
Russell.

Russell:
Go to the View menu and select Event Titles. That will display the events as it did rolls in iPhoto 6.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto 6 - photos there, but not there!

    Hi some help would be appreciated:
    After some major issues, I had to wipe my HD, reinstall OSX 10.6 and then restore my system from Time Machine.
    Things seemed to be ok at first.  But now when I open iPhoto 6, although the file names of all my photos, albums and camera rolls are there, the photos themselves are not displayed.  Instead, there is a blank square where each photo should be. 
    The strange thing is when I drag one of these photos onto my deskstop, I can open it and see it normally in other applications.
    I've tried the rebuild cache option by pressing control + alt when I open iPhoto, but this did not seem to work.
    Any suggestions?
    Also, I am thinking about upgrading to iPhoto '11, but this seems to have had some terrible reviews.  Have these problems been fixed?  Is a new iPhoto '12 planned anytime soon?
    many thanks!

    Control(right)-click on one of the thumbnails and select Show File from the contextual menu. 
    If you've edited the photo then select Show Original File.
    You should be taken to the folder housing the orignal and that original selected.  Do you see the original? If you do see the original file then
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Photos there but not there!

    When I go over an event's thumbnails, I can see all my photos. But when I click on the event to open it, some photos are missing. I have launched a slide show to see if they would all appear and sure enough everything was ok. Back to the event, and still can't find the ones missing. Where are my photos? Thank you for any suggestion.

  • Can't figure how to select a whole album to upload to Flickr.  If I select all the photos in an album, the photos upload but not my titles.

    Can't figure how to select a whole album to upload to Flickr.  If I select all the photos in an album, the photos upload but not my titles.

    Export the photos out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option to a folder on the Desktop.  Then drag the folder onto the disk icon on the Desktop and burn.   Be sure to select the Kind, qualtiy and size of the file you need.

  • Some, but not all, albums not displayed after Yosemite/iPhoto 9.6 upgrade

    After upgrading to Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6, photos from  some, but not all, albums are missing. All albums from the previous version are listed in the Library, but 12 of 15 are showing "(0)" with no contents.
    Is recovery possible?

    iPhoto 9.6 (910.29)

    Your best solution is to restore a backup copy of the library made just prior to the Yosemite and iPhoto upgrades.
    Otherwise try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • How can I get the iTunes music on my phone on my computer as well? Some of it is there but not everything...

    How can I get the iTunes music on my phone on my computer as well? Some of it is there but not everything...

    I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks).  Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window.  I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box.  When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window.  It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

  • Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "Cannot take photo" there is not enough available storage to take a photo, etc? I have it hooked up to ICloud and the cameral roll???

    Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "cannot take photo" there's not enough storage, but I have my phone/camera roll hooked up to Icloud and have purchased additional storage???

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with remaining memory on the phone - only memory for backups and Photostream.  The photo has to first be stored on the phone and copies sent to iCloud.  If there is not enough available memory on the phone, the photo can't be taken.
    To determine the remaining memory on the phone:
    Settings > General > Usage > Storage
    The Camera Roll is meant for temporary storage of photos, which should be imported to an app on your computer and deleted from Camera Roll.  You can then sync back those photos which you want to keep on the phone.

  • ITunes does only sync photo's but not music and video. Help please

    I have loaded ios5 on both my iPad and my iPhone4. For about a week, all worked fine and i restored my music, video's and photo's.  However since about a week,  music and viceo's are removed from the iPhone. That was after the change from summer- to winter-time. And iTunes does not want to sync them back to the phone.  On my iPad all is still there. I looked at my settings and the only difference between the iPad and the iPhone is that on the iPhone i see a switch for iTunes Match, but that does not work in my country yet.  When i look in the left column of iTunes i see my music marked under the musicdirectory of my iPhone,  but with a sych mark. ( the little circle).  So i can add and remove photo's,  but not music or video items.  Has anyone an idea what to do?
    By the way, all my other stuff(agenda, notes etc.) are synched thru iCloud.

    Are you viewing on 'Videos' or did you find it in your music list?

    iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

  • Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    Hi
    Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
    In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
    If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
    In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
    Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
    At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
    However also look in the View Menu.
    Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ?  (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
    Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
    Do you see a preview here ?
    Re: GoogleTalk
    Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
    You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
    Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a  Web Browser.

    Not those whole folders, but their contents, maybe.
    If the user account now on the Mac has read rights to the user account(s) on the backups, yes.  If not, you may have to do some finagling. 
    Try the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17.  If you find an account that can open those folders, restore what you want to an alternate location (#16 in the FAQ).
    If not try creating one or more accounts temporarily.
