Pictures display in photos but some don't display individually

All my pictures are displayed when I open Iphoto and click onthe Photos library. When I try to look an individual picture  it flashes on the screen and then it is grayed out with a bug ?..

Exclamation mark?
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. .

  • Added photos to the video timeline but they don't display.

    I have added some photos to the video timeline but they don't display. The end of the last clip is frozen and then the next clip starts once the time for the photo display has elapsed.
    A previous photo that I'd inserted in the project previously DOES run correctly. I suspect it may be to do with the fact that I've used cutaways in part of the video. However, where I'm inserting the photos is not in a section where there is an existing cutaway.

    It would appear that it's a bug with iMovie. It won't let me add new photos to the duplicated project, but it WILL let me add them to the original project.
    After searching the Discussion forums, it would appear that it has affected other users; some have used 'workarounds', but the solution doesn't always work for all. Hope Apple can address it.

    No, sorry... did not happen becasue no such model exists.
    If the device is in recovery mode, any data on it is already lost. 
    The only options are:
    Restore the device to get it functional.
    Enjoy the paper weight.
    For what reason did you attempt to update the device without first ensuring that your data was safe, meaning backing up the device and copying important pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer?

  • Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

  • My computer has 8g of photos but I don't know where they are!

    I think I may have done something in the past to mess up the library since I can't figure out what is going on. My disk is full, only 1.7 g left- I downloaded whatsize to see why, and it shows over 8 gigs in my photos, but I only have 500 photos, jpg's, in it. I delete photos using the delete button, usually, and empty the iphoto trash. My preferences to copy to the library folder is checked and always has been I believe. My screensaver shows pictures I long since deleted, or so I thought, from "iphoto library".
    I have read Terence's instructions to others on rebuilding a new library- will this get rid of these unwanted photos? I did not know not to mess with iphoto from anywhere but iphoto til now, I likely moved or renamed something in the past. Where the bloody **** are they and what should I do? Am I deleting wrong? Thanks for any help for an artist struggling to use the other side of her brain.

    my total library is 680 mb, nowhere close to the 2.08 in the pictures folder. I am obviously messing up.
    Actually you’re not.
    The iPhoto Window reports the size of the library that would result if you exported all the current versions +and nothing else+ to a folder on the desktop.
    The iPhoto Library Folder contains the Original, Modified and thumbnail versions of your pics. It also contains various cache and database files +all of which are necessary+ for the working of the Library.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    You can run a Library on an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • TS3989 Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and pictures taken after have ,but some won't

    Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and after transferred ok but some won't.Any suggestions

        1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • Photos say I have pictures on my device, but I don't.

    I am running on a iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3. I deleted all my photos that were on my device and for some reason when I went to settings>usage it said I have 643MB of Photos & Camera. After I clicked on it and swiped to delete them, it took me back to the usage screen and when I tried to click on it again, it froze. I have to restart it  to make it work again. When I go into iTunes, it says the photos are 0MB and 0 pictures, it should be like that on my iPhone, but it will not delete. It's also using valuable space! Please help! I have been searching for hours!

    Restore the device.

  • What does caution sign mean in iPhoto? I can open and view some of my photos, but some I can't.  How do you solve this problem?

    I accidentally created an Event with flagged photos.  I didn't really want to do that, but couln't "undo" it.  I used Time Machine to restore iphoto, going to the day before the incident happened.  I tried holding down the option key and reboot iphoto.  I tried to restore using Time Machine again.  I used Disk Utilities to repair permissions.  I tried to rebuild thumbnails.  None of this worked.  Does anyone have a solution to this?  I upgraded to Mavericks when it first came out and things seemed to be fine since then until this happened.  Not sure if this is a Mavericks issue or something I did. 

    Just to give you a few more details- I saw a previous post from you responding to someone else about a similar Issue-
    - What version of iPhoto. 
    9.5.1
    - What version of the Operating System.
    Mavericks
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    I was trying to edit photos- so double clicking on a thumbnail to make it larger so I could edit it and the gray caution sign appeared.
    - History: Is this going on long?
    2 weeks
    Has anything been installed or deleted?
    Turbo Tax installed from the internet.  Nothing deleted that i know of.
    - Are there error messages?
    Error message -54 if I'm using the right error going quickly from one thumbnail to the next. 
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Just mentioned this in my previous reply a few minutes ago.
    - Anything unusual about your set up?
    I don't think so.
    Or how you use iPhoto?
    Just have 4 cameras that I use to export from the camera to iphoto- none of them are new cameras so that hasn't changed.  I don't think there is anything I'm doing that is unusual- just your basic editing, etc.

  • How do i  create space on the start up disk by moving pictures from i photo but keeping them readily available

    how do i get pictures off of my start up disk but in a way that i can recll them into iphoto

    You will first of all need an external hard drive. There are lots of them available. Search MacSales or NewEgg for one that suits your needs. Get one that is bigger than you think you'll need.
    Once you have an external drive, format it using Disk Utility (in the /Applications/Utilities folder) if it has not already been formatted to work with a Mac.
    Copy your Pictures folder (which should contain your iPhoto library) to the new hard drive.
    Launch iPhoto while holding down the option key on your keyboard. It will ask you to select an iPhoto library. Select the library on the external hard drive. Confirm that all your pictures are there and you can work with them.
    Drag the iPhoto library that is in your Pictures folder on the internal hard drive to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash.
    You should now have a bunch more space on your hard drive.
    If you have not been backing up your data religiously, start using the external hard drive to do so (be sure to get a nice BIG drive so you have plenty of room for backups.) Also realize that since your iPhoto library is now stored on the external drive, backing it up again to that drive is not particularly useful. I suggest burning all your important photos to DVDs. If the photo library is too big for that, get another external hard drive and back up to that. Data security is important.

  • I have imported my I photo library into Aperture.  all the old i photo events are now in the aperture library showing number of photos but when clicked none display.  I can see the photos if i run the cursor over the project.  Help please.

    I imported my i photo library into aperture.
    I can see the i photo events in aperture library as events with the number of photos in each event.
    When you click events in the aperture library no photos appear although if you roll the cursor over the event icon it show the photos.  If you click on the event either on the event icon or in the library no photos appear.
    Help

    Check, if you have any filters set. The search fields in the Insector panel and the browser should be showing "All items" or "Showing All".
    The Browser search field could be set for each project and album individually, so you have to check it for each project.
    Regards
    Léonie
    For example: The projects count shows "20 items", but the browser is empty, because the project's filter is set to show only rejected items.

  • Embedding Fonts in Epub - some don't display on IPad

    I know that there are certain fonts that will not display on an epub file displayed on an Ipad. The InDesign file the fonts came from substituted the 2 missing fonts OK except one. If I look in the fonts folder from the epub the font is there it's also in the encryption.xml but I do not see the font displayed on IPad
    btw the font is

    any help?

    Sounds like you'll need to manually substitute a compatible iPad font...

  • Macmail:  all new e-mails display the correct sender - but they don't display correct contents - they pick up contents from old e-mails.  Emails on Iphone are fine.

    I just opened-up my mac book air this morning and looked at my mac mail (which runs my g-mail account).  I saw that a couple of new e-mails had come in - the name of the sender was displayed correctly - but the contents of the e-mail were from old e-mails.  I checked my Iphone and the mails are all coming in fine.  I had loaded attachment tamer on last night (great attachment - Mac why can't you fix this oversight?) I wondered if this might be the problem and I have re-moved it and the problem is still there.
    Any thoughts?

    I apologize; I should have mentioned I already tried that, multiple times
    It's almost like, since the messages show a qty in the status bar, that their text has been changed to white, the background color. But when i use Search Messages to get at what's there, the text color is black as it should be.
    Any further comments welcomed.
    Thanks much

  • Intel version's Safari cannot display some website's photos (but PPC cannt)

    The Safari (Intel) is not able to display graphics/photos in some websites, (like http://www.fotop.net).
    but if running the safari in rosetta mode, it will able to display so.
    Can any one help to know want happened?

    This MacOSX Hints page shows how to enable the debug menu, which also allows you to change the user agent.
    Since the site works fine on Safari 2.0.3 ( 417.9.2) for me, I'd say that the website simply need to update their User Agent identification info to account for the latest versions. But hey - just tell both partys.
    Hopefully someone else here with an Intel Mac can confirm if the site works for them.
