Photos won't display original filename

Hi all,
I recently purchased a Family Pack Mac Box Set, with iPhoto '11.
I've installed everything on both my iMac and Macbook pro.
My issue is with publishing galleries to MobileMe, and viewing photos with the Photos App.
If I publish an album from my iMac to a gallery, the file numbers appear near the bottom of the photo,
which is great! Howeverm when I publish the same album to a gallery from the Macbook, the file numbers
aren't there. I've made sure the box is checked for "Show titles". I've reinstalled iLife on the Macbook,
nothing seems to work!
I can't even import the photos directly to the iPad and see the original file name.
Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thank you!

Just checked the site and it looks like you got it fixed. On a different note, think about changing your link colors. Blue links on a black background will be impossible for many people to read. Also, white text on black is not a good color combo as it causes eye strain for many.

Photos won't display

I recently bought a refurbished 80g iPod classic. Everything appeared to be in working order except that photos won't display when clicked on. When I click on a photo the screen just goes black like the photo won't load. I don't really want to return it and go through all the warranty ordeals so if anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.

To create and populate a new library:
*Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.*
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls 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 Folder 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.

IPod Photo won't display album artwork for purchased songs

I bought some songs on the ITunes Music Store, and I can see the album artwork on the ITunes, I can also see in my IPod the artwork for most of the songs that I've downloaded, but I CAN'T see the artwork for those recently purchased.
I also noticed that when I purchased songs I had a duplicated file for each one of them, stored in \iTunes\iTunes Music\ and \My Downloads\ respectively, so I deleted the copies from \My Downloads\
Bottom line is, I can see all the album artwork in my iTunes, but my iPod Photo won't display some of it (specifically, the songs that I purchased)

Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

After installing new HDD, some iPhoto Events/Photos won't display

Problem: I upgraded to 1TB HDD a couple of days ago and tried to use the System Restore from Backup under Disk Utility. It never worked, got to a blue screen and just hung. So I reloaded Snow Leopard and then used Setup Assistant to move Apps/Files/Settings from my Time Machine Backup.
Today I was going through files to see if anything was missing and found a number of Events from 2010 that wouldn't display in iPhoto '08, just dark squares but with the event name underneath.
Rolling the mouse over the empty square displayed the correct number of photos for the event but photos wouldn't display.
Next I "Browsed" the Time Machine Backup (from iPhoto) and the same Events were also empty on Time Machine Backups.
The funny thing is the empty events are scattered meaning I have a full Events from Feb and March 2010 but empty events from Jan, Feb and May 2010. And then when I go into the Empty Events on Time Machine, I can call up the photo number but the photo won't display.
Is there a way to recover these photos? I'm pretty sure there on the TM backup and also on my new HDD.
As a "suspenders/belt" type person, I have the photos backed up on a Windows PC but rather work through this problem first.

You can enter TM while in iPhoto and do a search for some of the missing photos by file name. When you find a version that appears to have them in exit TM, go to your Pictures folder, reenter TM, go to that version and restore the entire library. I'd keep both your current library and the restored. Then you can check to see if the missing photos are in the restored library.
If neither library have all of the photos but do combined you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new 3rd library setting the option to not import duplicates. That should get you a complete library.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Are photos saved with their original filenames?

1) Are photos saved with their original filenames?
2) Can we view Filenames of saved photos in ipad?
Thanks.
(p.s. I am talking about Pictures saved from websites during browsing on ipad).

Both iCloud and iTunes backup included all the photos in the iPod Camera Roll album.

Some Photos Won't Display

I have the Droid X with the new 2.3 Gingerbread and just recently had certain photos that will show as a thumbnail image in the gallery but when I touch them to view the larger image it only displays a generic icon (sun over mountains box) instead of the actual pic. I checked the photo info and it is still in a .jpg format. I didn't edit them in any way, only certain pics won't display. Any ideas on what may be causing this?

You probably have a corrupted file ... See this thread from Wildman which addresses the HOW TO fix for possibly corrupted JPEGS.
http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-X-by-Motorola/Problem-Identified-for-Gallery-Force-Close-Issues/m-p/482030#M21721
If that doesn't work, let us know.

Some of my photos are not displayed in events. The event is there and still named but photos won't display. Suggestions?

Some of my photos are suddenly not showing inside the event. The event is still present as well as the title and number of photos in the event, but the photo is not showing. I get a black thumbnail with a dashed white box inside it. Any suggestions? It has not happened in all events, only a handful.
Thanks

That's an indication that the link/file path to the original file has been broken. Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
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.

Contact's photos won't display on iPod?

I've got an 80GB video iPod running with the latest version of iTunes. I'm sure photos from my address book used to display...now they've gone...any ideas anyone?

You need at least Mac OS X 10.4.3 for the contact photos to appear on your iPod.

Mail: photos won't display, only "missing plug-in" message

My wife's old G4 PowerMac running OS X10.5.8 recently stopped displaying photos in Mail. Instead, all that displays is message "Missing Plug-in" and the photo number or caption. This happens with all incoming e-mails, as well as outgoing e-mails generated from iPhoto, or just standard e-mails composed in Mail with an attached photo. The photo is there when she clicks on "Quick Look" but not in the field of the message. HTML images in ads display fine...only individual photo attachments are missing. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Neville.
I have the same problem with the "missing plug-in" message...but everytime I close out and try a second time the photos appear.
Is the path "applications" "utilities" "java"...if so I don't see "Java" in utilities, even though I was prompted to do a recent "java update" and did so?
Wondering where my "Java Preferences" file would be since I don't any file for "Java" in "utilities".
Any help/advice would be much appreciated!

New project photos won't display.

I imported some vacation photos into Aperture Version 3.1.3 yesterday. They were imported directly into a new project I created After importing I could view the images and edit and delete. 12 hours later the project appears blank in that no thumbnails are displayed in either the project or in the Photos Library. When I hold the cursor over the project folder it provides a count of the versions in the project folder but no images are displayed. This has happened twice in 48 hours. Fortunately the images are still on the SD cards. Any guidance please?

Did you check to see if there is a filter activated?

Photos won't display in Parent folders or All Photographs

After upgrading to LR4 from LR3 when I go to the library and click on "All photographs" none of my 86000 photos show up.
The same thing happens in folders module....for example:
1. My photos are in folders titled 20120306
20120201
2. Those folders are siored in a single "parent" folder called 2012
3. All the "parent" year folders are in a folder called MAIN
When I click on main it does not display any photos but it tells me how many photos are in the folder
When I click on 2012 it does not display any photos but it tells me how many photos are in the folder
When I click on 20120306 it then dislays the photos.
I am not sure why clicking on 2012 it would not show me ALL of the photos taken in 2012, that is what LR3 did......
PLEASE help as I am very puzzled by this!

I'm running 3.3ghz i7 2700k, 16gb of ram. 8900 images on internal HDD, ~37k images on external drive. By attempting to export first, I'm hoping to bypass the preview issue as it should use the previews that are there already, there is no option to render previews on import from catalog that I am aware of. My export of the 8900 images just went to 85% and crashed lightroom. I have shut down machine, rebooted, optimized the catalog and attempting export again.
Edit: So, I had to reduce my export to ~5100 images to get it to complete. When it finished, it presented an error window indicating it could not find/did not have previews for all the images. Seems kind of odd to me as I can see them all. I'm exporting another image file of ~3k images next. Then I will try and import them.
It's gonna be real ugly if I have to regenerate 45k previews again.
Edit again: Ok, this is not going to work. The Export Catalog actually copies everything from the current drive to the backup location, the catalog and the images etc. Upon import, the files are not imported from their locations, but rather the images just backed up in the export are what is imported.
I'm going to move all my images to one primary drive. Try regenerating all previews and see if I can import from the LR3 catalog again and get it to complete. What a nightmare this is.

Viewing Photos Issue (Photos Won't Display) - Noki...

Why isit when i click to view my photos, it loads them but doesnt actually display the image and takes around 10 seconds if not more to load the image for almost every single line of photos that i scroll down.
I'm running the latest firmware and didn't have this issue before i got the latest firmware or did a hard reset.
Anyone else with the same problems or ideas?

Good Luck

My photos won't display in iPhoto

I have renamed several rolls of film in my photo library by using the show info menu. I now cannot view those photos affected in iPhoto. I have subsequently read that this is not a wise thing to do! Is there anyway I can recover the situation? I am using iPhoto 6.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Can you return things to exactly the way they were? If not, 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 film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls 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 Folder 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.
Remember, It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
If you're renamed the rolls because you want to be able to find things:
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
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.
Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
But remember you do everything in the iPhoto Window and never make changes in the iPhoto Library Folder.
Regards
TD

Occasionally Firefox 3.6.12 won't display photos on certain sites. Reloading works sometime but not alwasys.

At times on auction some sites such as ebay, (and others), photos won't display. If I press the reload button there's a chance the photo will display. If reload doesn't work the first time, pressing it 3 or 4 times may work but not always. Closing the site then re-opening works sometimes but not always. Annoying.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: 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). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
