Pictures not showing up in iPhoto - though it says they are there

I've got a roll that says it has 22 items in it - 5 movies and the rest photos. ONLY the movies show up. If I go into the actual folder in the Finder the photos are there. Any idea why they aren't visible in iPhoto? All of the other rolls are working fine.
thanks!

Any idea why they aren't visible in iPhoto?
Two possibilities:
They weren’t imported properly
or
They were and your database is damaged.
In the first scenario: drag them to the desktop and try import them again. In the second:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders 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 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.
Standard Warning: 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.

Ipod doesnt show TV shows even though Itunes says they are there

After updating to the new iTunes, some of my TV shows (which i had set as movies before) dont appear on my iPod. After I change the file type (after clicking get info) to TV show, they dont appear on my 30GIG Video Ipod. They work fine when set as movies. On itunes when I look at what on my iPod they are there but I cant acces them becasue only Movies and Music Videos appears on my iPod.
PS I have latest itunes and ipod firmware

It's a problem with the new iPod software update. There has been much discussion about it on this forum and on ilounge. I was given this explanation from another poster:
"The reason this happens is because the iTunes category for "TV Shows" doesn't modify the meta-data of the video, rather, it just tells iTunes to display that video as a "TV Show", and does nothing to the videos on the iPod. To modify meta-data, I've found that AtomicParsley (for Terminal users) and Lostify (for GUI users) work alright."
Rather than use another application to correct the problem, I just restored the iPod to the earlier version. Now, everything works correctly. Hopefully, the next software update for the iPod will work. Incidentally, I kept the iTunes update.

I recently purchased an album but a few of the songs do not play even though it says they are there. How do I get these songs to play?

I bought an album on the iTunes store and 3 of the songs do not work on my iPod or in my iTunes library...How can I fix this problem?

You can retrieve your songs from the iPod using something like Senuti.
It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
When you've got a copy of those songs on your computer, then you can restore the iPod.

IPod screen shows no songs after sync, but iTunes says they are there

After syncing my iPod to my iTunes, the menu on the iPod shows no songs. iTunes says they are there and so does Winamp, but I can't see them by navigating the menu.
The only things that changed since my last sync are some ratings and a new playlist.
This has happened to me before. Usually it is resolved by rebooting my PC to make sure the iPod drivers are loaded. I tried rebooting my iPod (holding down Menu and Select), but that didn't do it either. I would like to avoid having to wipe the iPod and re-copy everything. And since this has happened before, it will probably happen again.
I can't upgrade my iTunes to the latest version because Apple stopped releasing W2k versions. Thanks in advance.

I have that issue also. I ripped a few cd's, attached the ipod, synced it, but my libraries disappeared. "About" says there's 20+ gigs of something on there, but nothing in any menu. I scanned the ipod with Panda, no malware. I took the ipod to Geek Squad, and the Head Geek suggested reformatting from windows, and then reinstalling software with itunes. Did that, hour later, same situation. 20 gigs of nothing, even though itunes reported it had transferred over 6,000 mp3's. Ipod just isn't recognizing anything on it as music, but it worked fine up until the re-sync, and I hadn't done it for awhile, so I am now guessing there's a bug in the newest software, and it isn't a hardware issue at all.
On another note entirely, does anyone else find it strange that Apple's discussion page spell checker regards ipod and itunes as misspelled words?

I have windows 7 and my speakers worked then after update my speakers do not work and everything checked out and says they are working and that soundcard is working but no sound now.

HT1386 Connected ipad to computer and downloaded 2 apps that aren't showing up on my ipad. Says they are downloaded on itunes, but I don't see anything on my ipad. I have synced it several times. Am I missing something?

Connected ipad to computer with usb and downloaded 2 apps that aren't showing up on my ipad. Says they are downloaded on itunes, but I don't see anything on my ipad. Tried downloading AGAIN and it says the same thing. Downloaded but don't see them on the ipad. I have synced it several times. Am I missing something?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Pictures not showing up in iphoto

I imported pictures from my digital camera and marked delete pictures from camera when done importing. Then I pulled the usb cord from my computer and when I went to the iphoto library the pictures were not there. When I go to the pictures folder on my hardrive and look under iphoto they are there. So they are on my hard drive but not in the iphoto program. How can I find them in the actual iphoto program and not my hard drive?

The easiest way to get them to work might be to do the following:
1. Create a new folder on your desktop titled whatever you want.
2. Move the missing picture files from the iPhoto folder to the new folder.
3. Open a few of the files to verify that the photos (and not just empty icons or damaged files) actually work.
4. Open iPhoto.
5. Click and drag the entire new folder into the iPhoto app.
This should ensure that the photos are all copied correctly into the iPhoto library and are cataloged correctly as one-single roll or import session. After you verify that the photos are now secure in your iPhoto library folder, you can throw away the new folder you created on your desktop with the photos. Also, in the future make sure you click on the eject button next to the camera icon in the list view on the left side of the iPhoto window before unplugging the USB cord.
Let me know if that works for you.

Photos not showing up in my camera roll, but they were there yesterday

Hi,
Last night I deleted about 50 pictures off my camera roll. This morning, I woke up and 150 pictures were missing, including all the recent pictures I had taken that I did not delete. It's not showing any picture that I took after May and it showed that I had 390 pictures. When I went into "settings" and "general", it said that I had 499 pictures on my camera. I can't see those... I just updated the software, which I hadn't done and it didn't change anything. Now, I'm trying to use Photostream to see if they'll show up there, but I wasn't backing them up before. I also moved all the pictures I could see to my computer, but again, it didn't let me move those 100 pictures.
What can I do to once again access those additional 100 pictures?
thank you!!!

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.

TS2580 Only my welcome page published, not the links to the other pages. My server says they are there, but not showing up, any ideas? Thanks.

I developed my web site and published it with myserver. However only the first page shows up, no other pages, and the links to the other pages are missing on the welcome page. The host tells me that it is a software problem, that the pages are on the server. Pleae advise?
Thank You.

Rest assured, your pages are there :
http://www.lynxag.com/Welcome.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Products.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Photos.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Contact_Us.html
http://www.lynxag.com/feed.xml
You could have determined the presence of the pages by typing the pagenames in the URL.
The second option was to connect to the server and see with your own eyes what is there.
And since you do not use a Sitename in the URL, I assume you uploaded the files yourself instead of letting iWeb do the honours.
Regarding the Photo page, I do not see any photos on the page. Yet they are on the server too :
http://www.lynxag.com/Photos_files/Media/
If you did put the files on the server yourself, verify that you did upload every single file iWeb creates.
Edit : since the directories are open, you may want to consider closing them. Ask your webhoster to do it for you.

Not all files are showing up on my network hd, but they are there

I have a PC and Macbook Pro networked in my house using an Airport Extreme. The HD shows up fine on both the PC and Mac (after a bit of problem with the HD format, it is now FAT32).
I have backup software that automatically backs up a bunch of folders. After it finished backing up my music (about 9500 songs) I opened up the HD and only saw folders through D. I switched on the Macbook and it was the same thing. I tried manually adding the folders from my computers HD to the network HD and it said they already existed.
I just plugged the HD directly into my computer (bypassing the network) and all the files are there.
I am wondering how I can get to see all of the files that are on the HD, it is confusing my backup software so that it runs unnecessarily re backing up things that are already on the HD.
Any help would be great

The AirPort Extreme router can read and translate files that can be read on both PCs and Macs when connected to a shared disk. This is an important feature as it allows you to avoid using the very limiting FAT32 file format.
Using FAT32 only makes sense when a hard disk or flash drive is alternately directly connected to both PCs and Macs.

Photos: Shared tab shows "No Shared Photos or Videos" but they are there

After taking photos on my iPhone, I have created many shared photo streams using my iPad and I have always used the iPad to view them. But for some reason, now they don't appear on the iPad when I go into Photos app and tap on the Shared icon at the bottom. All it see is "No Shared Photos or Videos" instead of the 15 or so shared streams I have.
All my shared streams appear both on the iPhone and on my two Windows computers with iCloud.
Any thoughts about what could be going on?

If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) 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.

Songs won't show on iphone5 but itunes on Mac says they are there.

Hi guys,
On my iTunes on my Mac it shows that there are songs and playlists on my iphone (both when usb plugged in and on wifi) but on the actual device they won't show. Only about 10 songs show up. There is plenty of storage space on the device and they were there before but disappeared after an update. I've tried re-syncing and dragging them over manually but nada. Some of the playlists show but are empty on the device. Any ideas? Thanks.

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:

Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Can't see some files, even though I know they are there

This is a strange one.
A couple of days ago, I began not being able to see most of the folders in my documents folder. I can see some, but not most.
I know the files are there, because I can access recently used files from the applications like Word and Excel that have a recent files list. And, they are working fine.
I just can't see the bulk of my folders. I've checked the things that occurred to me on security and sharing, and I don't think I changed anything or added any new software.
Any guesses? Thanks for your help.
Mitch Goldstein

Got my answer. I had moved the files (or someone in my family did), and they were deeply buried in another folder. Thanks.

HT202213 I cannot get home sharing to work. the shared computers do not show under SHARED even though it says homesharing is on.

DHCP Clients Not showing in Server Admin....but are there

Hi,
DHCP has just recently stopped showing me the MAC addresses of connected clients. It always says 0 though I know through the logs that DHCP is working. Any ideas? I will give more info if needed but wondering if it's maybe a bug or something?
Thanks.
