Picture thumb nails not showing up?

i have i photo version 4 a nd i was running out of space on the harddrive, so i purchased an external hard drive to store photos on and free up space on my main drive. i copied some photos from my root photo directory and now when i go to my iphoto library, i can see all the photos but only when they are zoomed out at a certain small size. when i double click the photo to go and edit it, the photo doesnt show up just a blank image, and on the left side it says that the photo is 0 bytes. How can i fix this issue and how should i back up my photos so i dont have this happen again.
thanks

That was your mistake. Don't ever mess with the innards of the iPhoto Library folder - it's an invitation to bleeding ulcers. Instead, you should have moved the folder AS AN ENTITY and then open iPhoto and tell it where to find the library.

When I try to include a white and black photo in a iMovie the result is a black totaly black picture which does not show in the movie. Why? Can it be fixed?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Other than that, what version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later try
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. .

TS2978 I have pictures that will not show until I select them. They show a blank square before selection.

Open View Options for the folder in which the picture resides; the Desktop counts as a folder for this purpose.
In the View Options window, checkmark the item "Show icon preview".
Note that this setting is not global; it affects only the folder for which it is set.

Edited picture closed & saved not showing in organizer as edited?

Today, I have edited, saved and closed pictures as I have been doing for years but they are not showing up in organizer in the edited version. Using Photoshop Elements 9. Anybody know what may have happened?
Sandy

This could be because the option "Include in Elements Organizer" is not checked in Save As dialog.
See when you save the image in Editor, above option is checked.

USB thumb drives not showing up on desktop.

After updating to 10.4.7 last week, when I insert a USB drive it does not show up on the desktop or in the finder. When I open System profiler and click on USB it shows up there but I have no way to mount the drives.
Is this something that happened to anyone else or am I alone in this?
When I plug in a USB mouse into the ports it works fine so the USB is working, just not mounting the drives. I am able to mount the drives in other macs I have here.
Dave

You might check your Finder preferences and make sure
you're allowing removeable to appear on the Desktop.
Nope checked that and the boxes are all checked.
Tried plugging my iPod in using the USB cable and still does not show up. Does not even show up in iTunes.
Also tried plugging in a firewire drive and that does not mount either. And the iPod also does not mount using firewire.
This is really getting frustrating!!!
Weird thing is it shows up under firewire & USB in system profiler.

Pictures in Idisc not showing up for import into aperture 3

When I attempt to import photos from the Idisc into Aperture the photo are not visible in the import window. This is also true for a thumbdrive. I can see them on the Idisc or thumbnail drive if I open the disc or thumb drive and I can open them directly into finder. Why are they not visible from within Aperture?

Select a button and see if the asset is set to be the video and appropriate timecode where there's actually a picture and not a black screen (depending on what kind of production this is, obviously..)

Pictures in iphoto not showing

I just purchased a new MacBook pro and transferred all my files from my 2007 MacBook. Everything worked well but now, there are many pictures in my iPhoto library that are showing up as grey squares. Sometimes, when I'm scrolling, I can see the picures for a second but then they go grey agan.
I've tried to rebuild my library but this didn't work. The pictures are still showng up okay on my old MacBook.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
You have corrupted your iPhoto library by not having enough free disk space for iPhoto to save everything - you should always have 10% of your total hard drive with a minimum of 10 GB of free space to assure safe operation of your computer -- Hopefully only your database description file was corrupted
Just to be sure tha tyou are using the correct library launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and use the locate library option and point to the iPhoto library on the external drive
If this does not fix it Do you have a backup? If you do this is the time to load it - if you do not it is a great time to start keeping one
Try rebuilding your iPhoto library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys - select all options
If that does not work download IPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use its rebuild option
If neither works you will have to create a new library - quit iPhoto and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and use the create library option (create it on your external hard drive), check the iPhoto preferences and be sure that the option to split items imported from the finder into events is not checked and open the old iPhoto library and the originals folder and drag each folder in the originals folder to the iPhoto icon in the dock - this will recreate your events with the original photos - the edits, keywords, books, slideshows and other projects will be gone

Bridge CS6: Video thumbs do not show start of clip

In Bridge CS5, the generated video thumbnails reflected the start of the clip (I don't know if it was the first frame or not, but close enough). In CS6, the thumbnails seem to be more towards the middle of the clip, and I find this very annoying.
I tried purging the cache for one of them, just in case, but that did nothing.
As an additonal point of info, the preview window also shows incorrectly (it shows the same frame as the thumb) until you scrub or play.
Is there anything I can do to change this behavior or is it a bug?
Ken

Apparently not, and this is probalby not even a Bridge sub-routine but is dictated by the codec as indicated in the LINK for Win7 "frame for thumbnail". They even have a website to lobby for this feature.

Pictures and video not showing in lesson 9 of Adobe Classroom in a Book

I have been doing all the lessons in the book and everything is fine until lesson 9 where I get the "Media offline" note instead of video and pictures. How can I fix this? I must have changed some setting by mistake.

It looks like I fixed the problem of the offline video clips. Something strange though. I found my lessons located in BOTH of the following paths: C: Users / Dan / My Documents / Adobe / Premiere Pro / 6.0 / Lessons. AND: Libraries / Documents / Adobe / Premiere Pro / 6.0 / Lessons. I don't know how the lessons got in the Libraries path. I copied the Lessons to the C: Users / Dan /... path only. What I did was when the dialog box showed up asking where the file is, I clicked the drop-down arrow and found it in the "Libraries" path and then the video finally showed up in my project instead of saying "offline". I wonder if there is a way for the files to NOT also copy to the Library path in addition to my intended path?
Thanks so much for taking the time to help!

Pictures from iPhoto not showing up properly on iPhone 4s

With my iphone 3G I wanted my photos organized into groups so I could look through specific photos rather than a cycling through ALL my images. So I took some advice I found online and organized my photos into albums in iPhoto and had my iPhone sync the albums from iPhoto. I also upgraded my phone later on and all the photos worked fine for a while, but now it barely works at all. When I click on one picture, it will jump to another or show the image of a camera with a clock in the center. Some of the images which were clear when they were originally on the phone(i.e. when taken or downloaded) now appear really fuzzy as if they are still loading. On my computer the pictures still look fine, but on the phone they are a mess, and it seems like some pictures are in the wrong albums too.
Any help?
Using an iMac with Lion, iPhoto '09, and an iPhone 4S with ios5

First try
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
If that didn't help then delete the albums and sync them back again.

SOME pictures (only some) not showing up in the edit frame

Hello
Instead of viewing the picture in the edit screen, it's just grey, with an exclamation mark in the middle, and a white doted frame.
Strangely enough, this occurs only for pictures
1, imported from a CD,
2, and only for the pictures in landscape!
In addition, this issue is new: it worked perfectelly well two weeks ago. I am not 100% sure, but I think that within the 4 updates I dwonloaded a few days ago, there was an update for iPhoto. Could it be that there is a small problem with the last update?
Other info: around 2,500 pictures in my library, all .JPG
This is my first question on the forum, I hope someone has a solution!
Thanks in advance,

It has to be some issue with the files coming from a PC to disk and then to the Mac. Give the following a try. It's a process that will create a new library and rebuild it without touching your original library so it's nondestructive.
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/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: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.

How come my pictures from iphone not showing up in iphoto stream

I am not seeing my photos in my photostream on my iphoto despite the fact that I have my iphone set up to send to my imac.

On the mac have you turned on icloud and checked Photos (in System preferences>icloud)? Also (this is in Mavericks, don't recall the interface in Mt. Lion), next the the Photos option in icloud, click the Options button and be sure photo stream is also checked. I assume you've turned on photo stream in iPhoto on the mac as well.

Picture frame not showing photos

I sync my IPad with photos in Aperture. Recently I scanned a couple of my old photos and imported them as JPEG in Aperture and synced them with IPad. I can see these photos in the Photo application, but when I select the album with scanned photos in Picture Frame, they dont show up. That is In Settings I can see the album but when I play the Picture Frame these scanned photos do not show up.
Other photos (non scanned) show up fine.
Any ideas why Picture Frame is not showing scanned photos?
TIA

From Apple:
"This is a known issue that we are currently investigating."
Just in case anybody else ever has this problem. Doesn't seem like many people do, however.
