Pictures are not showing up in iphoto

I am running iphoto 9.4.2.   I recently noticed a picture I knew that should be in my iphoto library was not showing up.  I opened finder and found the iphoto library to show the contents I right clicked and found the photo in the masters/originals and modified.  However, it still was not showing up in the app.  I repaired the library, no good, I rebuilt the library still no good.  I made a copy of the folder that had the photos ( I know now there are multiple photos missing), moved that copied folder to my download folder and imported into iphoto.  Upon doing that iphoto claims it is a duplicate photo.  I ignored the duplicate box and imported anyway and now it is in the app.  However, I know I have many other photos not showing up and want to correct the problem with the program.  Anyone else come across this issue?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

  • After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see my photos

    After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all  my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.

    Try these for the first attempt:
    First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

  • My pictures are not showing up as icons in the library.

    My pictures are not showing up in the library as icons. They are still there, but I have to guess which one is which and when I click on one, I can see it.  This is only for the pics I have taken for the last few weeks.  My older pictures I can see as icons.  How can I fix this?

    Hi dlaporte73,
    Does removing and reinserting your battery help? Is this happening when your BlackBerry Torch smartphone is in portrait view or does it happen in landscape view also? This KB article may provide more information.  "Thumbnails appear blank in the picture viewer of the BlackBerry Torch smartphone" http://blackberry.com/btsc/KB23935
    Let me know if that helps.

  • TS3989 my photos that i took on my ipad are not showing up in iphoto or aperture

    I have photos that I took on my Ipad that are in photos. They are not showing up in Iphoto or aperure on my Mac? All software is up to date,photostream turned on on mac and ipad....is there something else I need to do?

    OK, you'll have to upgrade to iPhoto '11, available in the Mac App Store, in order to get photo stream and shared photo stream on your Mac.  After doing so, you'll be able to go to System Preferences>iCloud and check Photo Stream.  Then your photo stream photos will appear in iPhoto on your Mac.
    As mentioned earlier, photos added to photo stream more than 30 days ago can be added to a shared photo stream (as discussed here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), then invite yourself as a subscriber and they will appear in iPhoto as well.
    Be sure to check Automatic Import in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream if you want your photo stream photos to automatically be added to your iPhoto library as well.

  • My pictures are not showing up at the email accounts I am sending them to from either of my iphones

    Do you know where the folder should be?

  • HT201401 My pictures are not showing up in my camera roll after I take them, where are they going?

    My photos are not showing up in my photo stream after I take them, what could be wrong? Brand new phone, camera is working, older photos from cloud are there but not new ones that I am taking.

    Reset the iPhone then take a photo. See if it shows up in the camra roll.
    If not, reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then try a photo.

  • My pictures are not showing up in the picture folder when I select that folder though the change desktop option.

    My pictures are in jpeg, and I can find them in the picture folder though finder. Any answers?

    now that you have found your iPhoto library you can drag it to the external drive to backup it up
    If you launch iPhoto does it work properly?
    However, when I tried to relocate it to the pictures folder, I get a message that I can't add the library because the folder is defective or damaged.
    Exactly what are you doing? what is the exact error message?
    And as to

    I have no idea what you are speaking of - files and folers do not have Pref files - only applications have Pref files

  • Imported Pictures are not showed in the current path

    Hello
    i am using elements organizer 10 to organize my pictures, about 100.000.
    All these pictures are in the location D:/pictures/privat pictures/2001/YYYYMMDD. Each year has a lot of folders oriented by date.
    All this pictures are a second time at my backup drive Z:/backup pictures/privat pictures/2001/................
    After creating a new catalog and start importing all files from D: it takes time till all pictures are imported.
    But then the failure happens if i click to any folder in D: i can not see any picture.
    If i start import i.e. for one single folder again i get the message" pictures are already imported..."
    If i click at  a bar in the timeline the pictures are shown and the path tree shows it at location Z....with the path name from D:
    I created more cataloges the last time to find a solution but nothing helps to fix this problem.
    I use Windows 7 ultimate
    Any idea?

    Your description suggests you are facing the folder view bug in versions before PSE11.
    - In that situation you have no 'missing files' but the files appear in the wrong folder in folder view. Everything seems normal in thumbnail view and you can't reimport files because they are already in the catalog.
    For the confusion for the drive letter, it would be useful if you could check the serial numbers of both of your drives.
    In Windows, open a DOS command 'Vol D:' and 'Vol Z:' and compare the results. Are D: and Z: two physically different drives or different logical partitions ?

  • My Photos are not showing up in IPhoto 9.6.  I am using Yosemite.

    My IPhoto says it is 9.6. I am using Yosemite. When I clicked on IPhoto in my dock, it comes up, but there are no photos. Same if I click in Applications. I was able to bring in 1 event and 9 photos by highlighting them, but now I don't remember where I found them. And I don't want to do that for 5,000 photos anyway.  Please help!
    Thanks

    I'm sorry, I guess I don't know the correct terminology and I don't understand how things work.
    When I click on Seagate HD on my desktop, and then  All My Files, it says I have over 8,000 images. I see my pictures there.  If I go down the list and click on Pictures, I see the list of 1125 items with names, dates and sizes. If I go down two more on the list to Applications and click on IPhoto I see Oct. 21,2014 and 1.7 GB, and can see the 23 pictures and 2 events that I have moved there today.
    If I click Time Machine and open Preferences it shows Seagate HD as my Backup Disk.  If I enter Time Machine the only reference to IPhoto in the list is iphotoqt.pdf  Aug. 2, 2012.  If I go down to Pictures there it shows the same list of 1125 Items as the Seagate.
    If I launch IPhoto while holding the option key I get one option: IPhoto Library (Default).
    Is there something else I need to find for you to help me?
    Thanks so much!

  • I put my card reader in, but the pictures are not showing up. Have adobe photoshop elements 12. Is there something I'm missing to do.

    .

    Hi,
    We need more information to be able to help you.
    Which operating system are you running on?
    When you say "not showing up", do you mean they are not being automatically imported into the organizer? Have you tried using Import/Get from camera or card reader?
    Are these pictures in raw format - if so from which camera (Make & Model)?
    Do you see any indication in the thumbnail area - like a question mark?
    Any error messages?

  • My pictures are not showing up

    I recently moved all my pictures on my computer to iPhoto. It was working fine until today when i opened it up. It said it was recovering cache. It shows a ton of blank icons but no pictures. Some pictures work but most of them don't.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It sounds like you've got a corrupted database file in the library.Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    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 User/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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • After I import from my camera, my pictures are not showing up in my events. But I can find them in Last 12 months. Any ideas why??

    After I import my pictures to iphoto, I can't see them in my events.  I can find them in last import or last 12 months.  Why did my pictures stop showing up in events???

    They have not - your events are sorted manually - go to the view menu ==> sort events and select your choice of event sort order

  • Why doesn't my pictures on my PC upload to my Ipad and Iphone.  Seems I have all my settings correct but none of my pictures are not showing up.

    Why doesn't my pictures show up on my Ipad and Iphone?  I have my pictures in the photostream upload folder but they do not seem to be uploading.
    Thanks.

    You will notice that in "My Pictures" folder you have a new folder called photostream. In photostream folder you will have another folder called "Upload" Anything you put in the "upload" folder will go to your phone and ipad. So just copy pics you want into that folder and they will go into photostream. I would not suggest moving them since I am not sure how it works on windows but there is a chance photostream might empty out the  folder after 30 days.

    Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo. If you cannot get the device to reboot for you to see your content, you will have to try to restore it via iTunes. See this support document for help with that.http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    You may not be able to back it up if you cannot get it to stay on.
