Photos won't show up on viewing screen
What version of iPhoto? Version 11 9.4.2 What version of the Operating System? 10.7.5. What were you doing when the problem arose? Trying to view a photo on the viewing page so that I could edit it Did it ever work properly? Yes, in the past I have done the same thing and the photo shows up to edit. Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. I installed new photos and wanted to do some editing. The photos never show up on the page where I usually edit. I see them in my Photos library, but then they won't transfer to a single image. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? No error messages What happens when you try to do this thing? As I said, the photo image does not appear. The label is there, but no image. And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. I've looked in the iPhoto help file and also online, but have found no information.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Photos won't show in movie....
Hello,
Hope somebody can help....
I am creating a new movie. As part of it I want to use some photos/jpegs at certain places. I have inserted them into the project browser no problem, and they show there as expected. I can edit them etc with Inspector no problem also.
However, when I play/view the project, some of the photos do not appear. Instead the screen holds an image of the last clip in the sequence, and then switches to the next once the playhead (red line) has passed over the photo. The transitions on either side of the photo also seem to be 'not seen'.
This doesnt happen for all the images I have used, but I cant find any difference in the properties etc of the ones that do work and the ones that don't, although I could easily be missing something!
The images being used are in iPhoto and they are definitely there (i.e. the media isnt missing).
Can anybody suggest what the problem may be??
I am using iMovie 11 (9.0.4) and my OS is Lion.
Many Thanks in advance....
IanThe background is a combination of items: Slice Lower Third; Eccentric; Conglobe; and Seriset. It also includes an introduction of text. I'm still having trouble rendering it and coming up with "An error occurred while trying to add a frame to the new movie (-1309)" and it won't render.
I "Save"d photo as livetype without any extension listed. The "export movie" option is grayed out. I'm thinking this is the problem.
Any ideas or thoughts on fixing? -
Some photos don't show in LIbrary view--just the outlines of them
Tonight I tried to transfer a bunch of digital photos from a CD my daughter burned into my iPhoto library, into the 2006 year folder.
I opened the CD and in the icon view, the pictures looked fine--jpeg files.
After I transferred them, these pictures don't show in my initial iPhoto window (the one that opens first when you click on iPhoto in the Dock, and shows all the pictures in my Library sorted by (in my case) roll/date.
Then photo thumbnails from years prior to 2005 show up, fine, but for the most recent year of pictures, all I get are the outlines of where the thumbnails ought to show. When I click on one of the blank thumbnails, of course I get a blank ...but the frame in the lower left shows the ID info for the picture and the picture counts, etc.
I can open the folders from the Pictures file and see them...they just won't show up in the overall Library window.
So...I moved the transferred ones out of the iPhoto library and just put them in the Pictures folder for now.
But what did I do? And how do I "fix it" to make all the thumbnails show up again? This is probably some simple thing...but I can't figure it out. I tried showing just the last 12 months...and I get all the blank outlines.
G4 iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9) Using iPhoto 5, 768MB RAM,Hi john,
First problem. You need to import photos into the iPhoto Library the correct way which is while iPhoto is open. Drag the photos out of where you put them (you already did) now you can import them into iPhoto from there.
Read on for more info....--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.

Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.
Now to get to your next problem...do a "get info" on your iPhoto Library folder.

I have a late 2013 13" MacBook Pro Retina using Yosemite.
In Finder, under pictures, my iPhoto library won't show pictures. It says there's 12GB of photos, but it won't show the photos. When I click on the iPhoto Library, it will open the iPhoto app and the photos will show, but again, it won't show pictures in Finder. I use to be able to see my photos in Finder.
It all started when I went to System Preferences and started clicking things under the Sharing tab.
After this, I noticed I wasn't able to see my photos in Finder. I followed another thread that said to: press control and click on iPhoto library, then click on Show Package Contents, then click on Original folder; however, when I did went through this process, I didn't have a folder that said Original, so I don't know what to do. Please Help me!!What Finder window? Are these images in iPhoto?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. 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:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: 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. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. -
Photos won't show up in my Camera Roll
I've had the 16GB 3G camera or a little over a year now (I think lol whenever it came out was when I bought it) and now whenever I take a photo, or edit one in an app, it saves the photo to the camera roll, but won't show up. It will take a photo, and when I look for it in the camera roll, it isn't there. BUT when I sync it to my computer, and import them, they show up there. I have tried restarting, and shutting down, and even backed up my iPhone today which took over an hour. I have lots of room left on my iPhone, so idk why it's not working. Anyone have any ideas?
Here is some info that might help.
(you can also use an App caleed 'FileAid')
If you have a finder-app on your phone you may navigate to the folder that stores the images(DCIM). Inside this folder there is a hidden folder called .MISC and inside this folder there’s a file called info.plist. This is the file that determines the filenames given to the photos and by deleting the whole .MISC folder you may solve your problem.
The system will generate a new folder upon next image taken and name this IMG_0001.JPG
I tried several ways and they did not work, but erasing everything in DCIM sub folders (MISC and 100apple) like Harry D said above helped me solve the problem.
Simple fix for those withOUT jailbreak.
1. Buy Phoneview - useful for a LOT of things actually, like backing up SMS, etc.
2. Open iphone,
3. Click on Settings
4. Select “Open Entire Disk”
5. Find MISC folder on file tree
6. Highlight and delete
7. Done!

I imported all my pictures into iPhoto and when I watch them in full screen size or any other way, the vertical photos don't appear, just a gray screen and a question mark..
Does anyone know this problem or can anyone tell me what can fix this because it took me half a day to organize all off my vacation photos so yeah, it ***** that they don't show
xxWelcome to the Apple Discussions.
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. Be sure and include the option to check and repair permissions in the Library.

Photo won't show on cover of Iphoto Calendar after dragging and dropping
Every year I create a calendar on Iphoto and I have always been able to troubleshoot everything myself.
This time, I am stumped. The whole calendar is ready to go but for some reason, the photo I added to the cover will not show up. I am using the same photo later in the calendar without a problem. In fact, when I hover over the picture it tells me that is being used on the cover and on page 11...but I can't see it!
The title underneath the photo will only show when I click on the text box. Once I click away from it, it will disappear.
Anybody? Christmas is approaching fast and I need to get this into production ASAP to mail to Europe.Hi HeyBayLondon!
It sounds like you may want to try restoring your phone and then re-syncing the content from your computer to see if the information will show up after that procedure. Information on doing that can be found right here:

I have a wonderful iPod 5 but when I download an app it won't show up but it has more than 3 gigs left no matter weather it's free bought redownloaded it won't show up no matter AppStore it won't open the app search dosent show the app. Syncing dosent do anything if you have the same problem or know how to fix this without jailbreak plz tell me!!!!
- What exactly happens when you try to redownload directly to the iPod:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You said it won't open the app . What exactly happens?
Is the app listed is your Purchase history?
Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent installing those apps? Settings>General>Restrictions -
Two issues on Aperture: single photo won't show in viewer, emptied trash won't indicate as empty
Using Version 3.5.1. Several after-market edit plug-ins attached. Two new problems:
Very recently, when editing, the single photo viewer mode will start showing only black (blank), or shows the photo very briefly then goes black, or shows another different photo, or a damaged-looking photo. Multiple photo viewer modes still work ok. Problem goes away upon quitting and restarting Aperture, but then shortly soonafter recurs while editing.
Also, trash continually indicates 477 undeleted photos even after emptying. Additional photos added to trash get added to this count (i.e. it then indicates, say, 492 photos in trash, while showing only the actual 15 legitimate files in the trash folder), and then can successfully deleted the actual trashed files back to the mysterious 477, although with no photos actually left in the trash folder and the Empty Trash function still active for these 477 ghost files. This problem persists despite restarting.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.Problem goes away upon quitting and restarting Aperture, but then shortly soonafter recurs while editing.
First of all, make sure you have a current, working backup of your Aperture library.
Is your Aperture library on your system drive or on an external drive? If external drive, how is the library connected? And is the library referenced or managed?
Several after-market edit plug-ins attached.
Have you checked, if your plug-ins are the latest versions, and compatible with MacOS X Mavericks?
What trouble-shooting measures have you already tried? If you have not already done so, use the Aperture Library First Aid tools and repair the permissions and the database, see this page of the Aperture User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual

Photos won't show up in camera role & forever backups. Please help!
This has been going on for 3 months now and its really becoming a pain. The problem in itself is now a giant conundrum where I can't find a possible fix so here it goes!
It all started when I noticed that when I took a photo with the built in camera it would save it to the thumbnail but when you go to view it, it would not be in the camera role, though they all show up in iPhoto just fine . I understand that this is a problem had by many and its nothing new, and there are ways of fixing it but below is where the problem gets tricky.
As soon as I connect my iphone to the computer to sync the phone in order to find the BAD CACHE or whatever, The device goes into "backing up iPhone" mode (even after I've checked the manually manage music & video's box") This would be no problem if it would actually back something up but it dosen't. One time I actually left it alone to backup over night after it had already taken 4 hours of of my time sitting there watching the endless loading lines pass (it didn't even get to the part with the solid bar that shows progress) I checked it the next morning and it was still loading. After 13 hours for a single backup I called it quits and gave up. I've tried many times after hoping that it might fix itself, but each time it gets stuck in the "backing up" phase.
I know you can just restore it to factory settings for problems like this, but I can't, without losing all the stuff I've purchased that I can't sync to the computer because of the backup problem.
Can someone please walk me through a fix (where to look for the bad info caches or something) that dosen't include losing everything via a reset. I'm at my wits end with this problem and would really love if someone could help.
FYI, My phone is a 3GS and I have NOT updated, mostly because I can't. The software I believe is from the 3.0- 3.0-1 (I'm not sure which) It was the software that came with the phone that purchased back in August 09.
3GS1) Turn off auto sync: go to itunes, Edit, Preferences, Devices, "Prevent syncing of...."
2) At the same place, youll see a list of all the backups. You can highlight and delete the ones you think are bad.
For the camera roll photos, you need to upload them from the iphone camera roll with iphoto (not a sync) as you would a digital camera, but turn off autossync first.
Once you have everything organized, you can try a restore and sync (in that order). But all your content must be on the itunes-equipped computer first. -

Photos won't show up in iPhoto
My hard drive recently failed and needed to be replaced. After having Apple replace my hard drive, I updated to the new operating system Lion as well as iLife 11. Though I lost everything on my hard drive all of my photos had been backed up onto an external drive. When i retrieved the back up the photos came and were back in iPhoto but with one catch... I can't completely see them. All I get is a black screen with a triangle. Though I thought the photos were completely gone, you can see in on of the photos that the photos are there because they are in the scroll bar at the bottom. Why can't I get to them??? Please help.
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 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. .

One multiple day event won't show in month view
I have noticed that every time I launch iCal an event (checked for all day event) beginning 9/1 and ending 9/4 will not show up in the month view until I open that day (and it's there) click it and then it will show up as a banner event. If I close iCal it goes away.
I have other all day events spanning multiple days that don't appear and vanish.
Any ideas what can be causing this? I don't want to schedule something way in advance and then forget it's there because it's vanishing.
Thanks.Hi David,
The way this is implemented by iCal is a choice of the developer. You can send comments about iCal to Apple through this page http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ .
Alternatively, you could make the events into all day events. They would then show on all the dates in month view.
Best wishes

My photos are listed, but the thumbnails and images don't show up. Attached is a screenshot.
I have used Lighroom many times before with no problems on this machine. I have 12 GB of RAM, running Windows 7 and have updated to Lightroom 4.2. I thought it might be taking a while to load the images, but they never appear even after an hour.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your response. I tried the following, but had no success:
I set my Dell monitor to sRGB
I reset my Dell monitor to factory settings
I tinkered with the Nvidia settings
I removed the Dell monitor and replaced it with a Samsung monitor
I opened the Lightroom preferences and tinkered with some settings in there

someone please help me! I just traveled to hong long and the minute I arrived something wrong was happening with my photos, I can't take any new photos because if I did they either get repeated or just be shown as grey pictures and when I try to upload one to a photo editing app it says "error cannot Load photo" and the same happens in twitter and Facebook! this has been found on for Like more than a week now, even when I want to set a picture as my profile picture in man it ends up zooming the picture way more than how I chose it in the border,, I would like to be able to take good photos again, any help?
1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?
