Preview Images for iPhoto Items Not Showing

When cycling through my albums and slideshows I am not seeing the preview images to the left of the iPhoto titles. I tried rebuilding the iPhoto library using the Cmd-Opt keys when starting iPhoto and that still did not do it. Is there a preference setting that I am missing?
iMac 24inch Mac OS X (10.4.8)

After trying unsuccessfully to make the preview work by rebuilding my photo library, this thread finally ends all my frustration.
Still, it's a strange decision to let users enable the preview only when the photos are copied iPhoto library. Sure, it might not take much space if you have big hard drive or have only a few hundreds photos, but I don't want to imagine how much space it'd take if I had thousands of images scatter in BOTH of the original folders and iPhoto
library.
Thank you very much, yesinndeedy, for the tip!

Album artwork for purchased items not showing up!

The album artwork appears in iTunes, but it doesn't show up on my 30GB iPod video! This applies to almost every protected AAC file in my iTunes library. How can I make the artwork show up on my iPod?

If they don't show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page then check to see if you've hidden them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. If you've changed countries since buying them, or if they are no longer in your country's store (rights-holders occasionally remove items) then you won't be able to redownload them. If you still have them on your iPod Touch then you should be able to copy them back from that via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
But any item could be removed from the store at any time, ideally you'd be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads/library, you are only guaranteed one download of any item

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

Raw files for nikon d810 not showing a picture in preview. Have camera raw plug in 8.6.0.250 . File will open in raw but no picture ahead of time.

Raw files for Nikon D810 not showing a picture in preview for photoshop cs6 . Have camera raw plugin 8.6.0.250 File will open in ACR and process but no picture before opening raw file.

Are you referencing Apple's Preview application or the Preview panel in Bridge? Huge difference.
Try purging the cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu in Bridge.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

What would cause images with captions to not show up?

Still struggling with this issue. Images with captions are not showing up on the iPad preview.
Please help!
Thx!

Hi Andrew,
I have been struggling with this for days. I am working on it with Apple. We re-installed the software, I re-installed OSLion, I re-started in safe mode, looked at startup items, cache, etc.
Now I am about to create a partition and test again to determine if the issue is with another software program on my system.
BTW, I noticed this starting AFTER I upgraded to 1.1, but maybe that is a coincidence. Do you know if it started for you after the update? ALSO, check your help screen in IBA. Does it look the attached? This started happening at the same time as the caption/image issue.
Please stay in touch as you the first person other than myself (that I know about), who is having this issue.
I look forward to hearing if you have the Heklp issue.
THANKS!

IPhoto is not showing photos that i have saved on an external drive. I can see tht the photos are on the drive, but iPhoto is not showing them. Help!!

Iphoto is not showing the photos that I know are stored on the external drive. I can see that there is 45 Gig of photos stored on the drive as they appear in finder when looked for, but I cannot see them in iPhoto.
I have used the external drive as the default location for my iPhoto library and not had this problem before.
I had a message earlier about generating thumbnails. I also had iMovie running this morning. This is when the problem began.
Have tried restarting computer and all the obvious things.
Also tried rebuilding the library.
Please help!

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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event 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.

Preview image for videos on flash website. Help!

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm at that right place so sorry if I'm wasting your time by asking this question but I'm having problems with my flash website.
I want the video on my website to show a preview image before the video is played instead of it displaying a blank black frame. I went on component inspector - preview - and selected the frame of the animation that I wanted to be shown. But when I came to uploading my swf and html file the preview image for the video is still black. On component inspector - preview - it says 'To generate a runtime preview image, use the export button and load the image back by writing your own actionscript'. So I exported the image but I haven't got a clue how to write my own actionscript. I've spent hours trying to find help on this but I haven't been successful.
Do you know how I can sort this out? Thank you

Have a look at this tutorial: http://web.archive.org/web/20081012122149/http://www.monkeyflash.com/flash/poster_frame_fo r_flash_video/

SRM 7.0 - Unconfirmed PO limit items not showing up when creating Invoice

Hi Guys,
For PO standard items, when creating an invoice and is unconfirmed, these items still show up in the invoice screen and the invoice gets created with the status 'Waiting for preceding document'. For unconfirmed limit items, these items do not show up at all in the creation of the invoice and displays an error. My question is how will I make the unconfirmed limit items scenario work just like the standard items scenario whereby instead of the unconfirmed limit items not showing up and generating an error, they will show up and have the invoice created with the status 'Waiting for preceding document'?
Thanks in advance!

Is this thread still valid? If not, please close the thread.
If so, as no response has been submitted, please rephrase your question and/or provide further information to describe your requirement.
Thanks

Item not showing in Shop

Hi,
We have iProc all setup and working correctly. However we have a few items that don't show up when we search for them under Shop tab.
The items that don't show up are the ones that don't have any BPA or ASL associated. For the items to show do we need to have already a supplier associated by adding the items to a BPA ou ASL?
Thanks,
André

Hi Andre,
Under Shop tab of iProcurement, you can only search Items which are linked/associated to a BPA/Quote only... Items which are not linked to a BPA or quote will not appear in this page of iProcurement. This screen should not be used as a screen to search Items.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
S.P DASH

I cannot find information to help me change the orientation of a video filmed in portrait format but only able to be played back lying on its side (landscape) instead of upright. All the rotation buttons for iPhoto are not 'engaged' when it is in video .

Thanks OT,
I tried the Export function but it would not allow me to choose the option of exporting to iMovie. I think you are right about needing Quicktime Pro. I opened iMovie and imported the clip from iPhoto and with some searching found the 'cropping, rotation' mechanism. So I now have a copy in the correct orientation. I plan to import/export it back to iPhoto because I want to have a copy on my iPhone to show people and I wanted to have it available as part of a slideshow I am making in iPhoto of my recent overseas trip. It is a pain that there is no simple orientating tool for the movie clips downloaded to iPhoto with the photos from the one camera.

IPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black.

iPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black. What's happening ? I show an incompatible upgrade available for OSX Maveriks, which I have not yet installed.

What version of iPhoto are you using? Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
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 and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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 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.

New iMovie app for iPhone 4 not showing up in Location Services (Settings)

iMovie app for iPhone 4 not showing up in Location Services (Settings). It apprently needs to be both viaible and turned on in Settings/General/Location Services in order for the app to discover previously taken video (Location Services correctly recognizes other apps of mine that utilize location-aware services).
I think the following is related to and caused by this problem above: iMovie App for iPhone 4 is not recognizing video clips I have made, whether they're in Photo Album, or iPhone 4 native movies that have been throughout this process: [sync with iPhoto on Mac > save to to iPhoto album > sync album to iPhone 4].

Just had this same problem. The solution is to turn Location Services on before launching iPhone iMovie.
Yes, iMovie needing GPS coordinates is crazy, as is the error message that doesn't correctly explain the problem. Looks like a bit of a rush job.

Please help! I have photoshop and iphoto does not show it in my preferences edit window. How do I get it as an option in my preferences.

Please help! I have photoshop and iphoto does not show it in my preferences edit window. How do I get it as an option in my preferences.

I tried it and nothing changed. Even when I right click on an indiviual image all it does is duplicate it. Iphoto seems to be recognizing my external hard drive as an editor......cannot get photoshop except to drag a picture into photoshop from iphoto, and once I have worked on it and saved it to iphoto I cant find it anywhere.
