Projects & missing pictures

Recently updated to Aperture 3 and noticed something odd which didn’t happen in version 2:
After importing photos into a Project If I then drag the project into a different folder all the pictures go missing. Restarting Aperture solves the problem.
Is this a known bug in Aperture 3?

An issue that may be connected was right before I noticed this, Aperture warned me that it had no more memory and would only open for a slit second and then close back down.
Are you running out of disk space? Make sure you are having at least 10GB of free disk space before you are running any application, otherwise you are risking corruption of your data due to crashes.
Check, if all search fields in Browser and Viewer are cleared, if not, clear them.
Check, if your "Rejected" album is empty. You may have accidentally sent your photos to the "Rejected" album; then they will still show in the projects when scrolling the projects, but not be visible in split view, if the search is set to "unrated or better".
If the images are in the "rejected" album change the rating back to a different rating, to make them again visible in the albums.
Have you repaired your Aperture library after the crash? If not, it is strongly advised to repair the Aperture library - lauch Aperture with the key combination ⌥⌘ held own and select "Repair database" from the panel that will appear.

IPhoto 6 Missing Pictures and Bigger Library

Please help me if you can, I'm feeling down ...
While I was using iPhoto 5 I discovered there were many missing pictures. Thumbnails were there, but the full-sized images had disappeared. I tracked down most of the originals, and imported them into iPhoto 5 again. Everything seemed fine.
Now, when I upgraded to iPhoto 6, I rebuild my library to ensure everything would be where it belongs. I checked all the optional boxes, to be sure I would not lose those images again. Horrors! Out of 4,500 pictures in my library, approximately 450 full-size images are missing, even thought the thumbnails are still there. Is there an easy way to straighten out this mess, or do I have to track down each image on variouos back-up CDs and re-import them? Please tell me there is an easier way! I don't have that many "extra" hours.
On a related note, with iPhoto's new filing system, I have an excess of folders in my iPhoto library. There's the old folders by year-month-code, and new folders called Original & Modified. My images appear to be in both folders. Is it safe or wise to remove the old folders? Would that save any disk space?
Burned twice, hoping to avoid a third time ...

Dear Old Toad-
Thank you for your suggestion. I tried it, but it appears my problem were not related to permissions.
The further I investigated, the more problems I found with my iPhoto library. The most significant was missing images with intact thumbnails. Others included duplicate images in different folders, and duplicate libraries.
Finally, in desperation, I decided to go back to square one.
First, I searched for all images that were less than 1kb, and created a 10-page list of missing pictures. (That is, the metadata was there, but the images were gone.) Then I chose the library with the most intact images, and exported all to a desktop folder. Then I created a new iPhoto library, and imported 6,500+ images as one roll. Now I'm figuring out how to organize them so I can find the "special moments." Once this is done, I'll search my old back-up CDs for my missing images, and import them to my library.
I imagine there is a better way, but I could not figure it out. If you, or anyone else, does know a better way, please let me and other readers know. This problem may be more common than we think.

When sharing photos get missing pictures

Hi All any help greatly appreciated. We are trying to share iphoto libraries, using home wifi,one macbook pro running Snow L one imac Running Lion both selected sharing and when then connect together imac comes up with missing pictures which require clearly individually, iphoto will not connect to each other as it continues in a loop. Force quit required to stop.
I have run the database rebuikld and all the items in that menu. Wits end very annoying
Any ideas?
Many thanks?
both running iphoto 09
Regards
Cloudbasher

hiya Sorry about that, I should have said clearing individually. basically iphoto thinks that there are some missing pictures on the imac which then brings up a q&a box saying se4arch for or cancel each time you have to cancel there are 60 missing pictures it says, all with different filenames and on completion of clearing all 60, it waits a few seconds clears the spinning beach ball then repeats the process. this means to stop this you have no choice but to Force quit iphoto and thus disconnecting the sharing. When in iphoto (no sharing) there are no missing photos on either machine!
More ideas on a postcard please!
Thanks

Missing Pictures problem

Missing Pictures problem, I work with Adobe Illustrator CS2 at work & CS3 at home but i have the problem with both. I have a problem with missing pictures from time to time after saving the file & moving the image from original location. I know you have to link the images/files and leave then where the are or you can embeded them. So in my option box i un select the link the files box & i still get the missing files problem, when re-opening the AI file.
Does anybody know why? Or what I can do to avoid this?
Thanks

Missing pictures after migration to Photos

Hi,
I'm really sad to see how quality in Apple services has decreased.
To begin with, my iPhoto was getting way too slow, so I was forced to split my library into many other libraries.
After Photos was released, I updated the system so I could migrate my libraries from iPhoto to the new Photos.
The migration lasted a week!
When it was finally finished, I went on to check the number of pics.
There was a huge difference, with almost ten events missing pictures.
I did not even enable the iCloud feature.
And guess what? It's still slow.
How can I trust a system like this?
I'm really disappointed.

Thanks for your reply but I'm still confused as to how I lost over 10Gigs of HD space after the migration. I understand the conversion is supposed to create more space, not less. When I look in the pictures folder in Finder, I see 2 LIbrarys, iPhoto and Photos, each of them approx 15 Gbs. according to the Get Info menu. I guess what I don't understand is if the iPhotos Library is not needed and is moved to an external drive why that wouldn't free that amount of space.
Also, if "optimization" is supposed to move "some" high res images to the cloud to make room on the HD, how is it that I find myself with only 1gb left on my HD? What is the criteria that triggers "optimization" and how much room can we expect it to shoot for? There seems to be a variety of answers on this subject, many of them sound like guesses. Apple's explanation is vague about how it works, so hopefully someone has the accurate, in depth scoop on this.

Unusual dashed box has replaced missing pictures in Iphoto after transfer...

Hello Mac community! I recently purchased a new macbook pro OS X (Mavericks version 10.9.2) and had the mac store transfer all of my iphotos etc. from my previous macbook pro to this new one. When opening iphoto on my new mac, the majority of my pictures in my iphoto library are missing, and a strange box of dashed lines has replaced them. What does this mean? Heres whats strange..Many of my pictures did indeed transfer properly to my new iphoto library but there are random events that are completly missing pictures ( being replaced by the dashed box) Why did these pictures not transfer properly to my new laptop? How can i recover these pictures? Thanks to anyone who is willing to help me! Im lost without my pictures!

really hard to say what was done wrong since we have no idea what was done
Do you still have the old computer? If so transfer the iPhoto library again properly - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
That probably will fix things

When I want to buy a book, iphoto tells me I have a missing picture

Hi, can someone tell me what is going on?
I have finished my iPhoto album and would like to buy it. However, it instantly tells me that I am missing a picture (or maybe several I can't tell) and that I should place a picture in the frame (it even tells me where and which the page number). Although there is a picture already in the frame, I replace it again and again and again, but still, it keeps telling me I have a missing picture. Thanks in advance for your help.

Look for a page with a gray background which is a layout that uses a photo for the page's background.

Spontaneously different projects show pictures (only virtual) hiding the true ones present in other project. clicking on the virtual one appear the era one

Spontaneously different projects show pictures (only virtual) hiding the true ones present in other project. clicking on the virtual one appear the era one

Thanks for your kind interest. The problem seems to be solved. In practice it was a picture (which I have defined virtual) which appeared in the project instead of the one I uploaded. The false images came from other projects in the same library. When I went to click on this false picture, it opened the right file of the image that I had loaded.
I solved the problem with the function "new version from original" applyed for each of the files having this double faces.

I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several project 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated.

After the update each seperate connected drive should now have a seperate Library.
The older Projects and Events folders would have to be at the top level of those drives go be seen and updated.
Were all the necessary Projects and Events in the corrrct place before updating?

Can't open new project or picture in Photoshop CS4 Extended

Hello!
I was trying to work on some pictures today on my mac OS X Yosemite 10.10 in my Ps CS4, but when I tried to open a new project I got this error message "Fatal error - missing component /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework". And indeed this file didn't exist on my computer. "The Adobe Version Cue CS4" folder didn't exist. I'v tried to find help on the web but haven't found anything. Is this a common problem or am I one of the few people who's got it. Does anyone have a solution to it? I could mention that the computer I'm working on now is not the original computer it was installed on. I've changed up for a regular macbook to a macbook pro and transferred the hardrive to the new one. May this be the reason?
Best regards Ludvig G

Make absolutely certain you have the utterly useless Version Cue disabled in any place where it may appear in Photoshop's and Bridge's Preferences. I haven't used CS4 for years, so I can't tell you the exact location.
Even better, don't even install Version Cue if you Uninstall and re-install CS4. Adobe has totally abandoned, and even when CS4 was new, the advice from Adobe engineer was not to use Version Cue at all.

IPhoto '11 and previous version Projects missing their linked photos

This concerns iPhoto '11 (9.2.1) running under Lion 10.7.2. Fully maintained.
For the past couple of years my wife has been making iPhoto hardcover books ('projects') using photos from within various versions of iPhoto. Yesterday she completed her latest book and uploaded it off for printing. She then decided to order an additional copy of a book she'd made a couple of years ago, and opened the project file in iPhoto. For a brief moment there was a screen caption saying 'upgrading', and then a message to say upgrading was successful, and please to check book before printing.
So she did - and whilst the pages and layouts were there, and text captions, ALL the inserted photos were missing! All the photos show up in the source list on the righthandside of iPhoto, but none of them are linked into the project book! She checked back into previous books (projects), and other than a couple of recent books, all were the same - the pages, layout and text were fine, but no linked-in photos.
So quitting iPhoto and reopening command-option to get to the maintenance section, ticking all the boxes to examine and rebuild, after a few hours the result was the same - all the past projects were devoid of linked-in pictures!
Worse still - the project she completed yesterday, and had sent for printing, now had some of its photos inserted sideways, or upside-down! Clicking on the photo on the page opens it the correct way around, and not as shown on the page layout!
Going back into TimeMachine and extracting the iPhoto library from 6 months ago, opening it in iPhoto '11 (9.2.1) on a different machine gives the same result as above - the 'upgrading' message, the 'success and check' message, and the resultant unlinked photos. NOTE: once a previous project has been selected from the list, the 'upgrading' process is instant, unstoppable and not undoable.
Do anyone have any explanantions or suggestions on how to resolve these issues?

well....
update this post.....
It's strange.... I have news.... maybe I have the solution but I have to test if I have lost something....
I opened time machine and simply cut & paste Pictures folder from backup to my folder, then opened iphoto with option key .... iphoto check updates on net and download last updates showing a popup that informes me that updating library to last iphoto version I will not be able to see photos with previous version of iphoto.
once updated the software i can see all photos..... now i just have to check if there are all photos and i have not lost anything.....

IPhoto Library is a Package / Missing Pictures

Hello,
I migrated my data from my old Mac to my new one and iPhoto doesn't seem to work anymore. When I open it, it says the library should be upgraded and when I click, "upgrade", iPhoto closes.
My iPhoto library is now a package; when I try to open it, it opens Terminal, with the message
MacBook albertine: albertine (some other signs I don't know how to type, but you get the gist)
I downloaded iPhoto library manager and I can see all my files but many of them appear as white pages - if I click on them, I get the name, the info, the size, but when I open them with preview I get a blank sign and the name is always "missing.tiff". I tried to rebuild the library with Manager, but there are still entire albums and the pictures they contained that are missing.
I also downloaded iPhoto Library upgrader and it says my library doesn't need to be upgraded - I cannot open it with upgrader anyway.
If anyone has any suggestion, that'd be grand

The following will create a library with all of the orignial files that are in the Masters/Originals folder of your library. You can then compare the number of photos and photos themselves to see if this new library has all your photos:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

IPhoto Book with Missing Pictures

I submitted this problem via the Apple support site but have not received an answer. I am hoping someone visiting this forum might have advice.
I ordered a 50-page hardcover 8.5x11 iPhoto Book (theme: Modern Lines) that I created using iPhoto 6.0 on a G5 Mac running OS 10.4.4. This was my first iPhoto book. The book, when assembled, looked perfect in the main book window, and I also saved a pdf of it, which was (and is) perfect as well. When the book arrived, I was very pleased with the quality of the printing, except that seven photos (some but not all of the photos on four separate pages) were not printed in their places in the book (there is just white space there).
I then opened the saved file of the book within iPhoto on my computer. When I went to the pages where the printed book is missing photos, I was surprised to see the following. In the main book window, the photos appear initially, for just an instant, and then disappear. In the main book window I then just see white spaces where the seven photos should be (just as in the printed book). This was not the case when I first created the book and placed the order – all photos were present in these places in the book (as the pdf I made just before placing the order confirms). Also, curiously, on the pages with the missing photos, even now the photos do appear in the small images of these pages in the page browser at the top of the iPhoto window, although as mentioned, the photos do not appear (except initially for an instant) in the main book window.
I have since updated to iPhoto 6.0.1 and OS 10.4.5, and the book appears the same with missing photos in the main window, but appearing correctly in the browser.
As you can imagine, I am very disappointed to have spent $70 for a book with seven of the critical photos missing. I assume that there is some bug in iPhoto causing this problem. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Any suggestions?

I looked on the forum for iPhoto 5, and found a discussion of a similar problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=315857&tstart=45
Essentially, the picture you see in iPhoto is a corrupted file. In my case, I deleted the pictures from the library that weren't showing up correctly, emptied the trash, and reimported the originals. Voila! No more missing images. Things are now showing up correctly.

SAPUI5 Project - Missing persistence.xml

Hi,
I have created a simple SAPUI5 application having an Employee form. The values should be saved in the HANA DB. As there are multiple ways to save the data in HANA, I am exploring the JPA based approach.
I am following the Container-Managed Persistence Example and able to create the project. Instead of Dynamic Web project, I have created SAPUI5 project and also changed the project facets as mentioned in the tutorial.
Now the problem is that I am not able to deploy the project on SAP HCP. It is giving me following error -

Actually yes - please get familiar with The SCN Rules of Engagement! In particular, don't push if you haven't received an answer after 3 hours or so.
Now, I am not sure how a UI5 project is exported and what it packages but I would recommend using a Dynamic Web project which is intended for Java web development and supports JPA. You can also have your HTML and JS static resources in it.
Cheers,

LSMW - Problem with copied and edited Project - missing new field

I have copied an LSMW project to a new Project to load a Journal Entry to FI - Transaction Code FB01. I added a new field VALUT (value date) to both the Maintain Source Fields and Maintain Field Mapping Steps. The data with the new field shows up in Display Read Data, but it does not show up in Display Converted Data. This new field is the last field in the csv file, i added it to the end of the Source fields.
I think perhaps i need to create a new Batch Input Session, because when i run the Start Direct Input Program, one of the messages that comes up refers back to the original project name - not my renamed Project. --> "Session Name OLD PROJECT NAME was opened"
(The steps available on my screen do not include a "Create Batch Input Session" step, as some of the posted answers show)
Thank you for your help.

Hi Sandra, Thank you for your reply. I am not sure what you mean by restart. if you mean go through all the steps- yes, i went through all the steps again. I also exited out of the LSMW screen completely and went back in to my project and redid the read and convert data again, just to be sure, but i am still missing the new field in display converted data.
The only change i made to the Project was to change the name of the Project, subproject, and object and to add a field to the Source Fields and Field Mapping - for field mapping i used the default rule of Transfer(move)and my source and code seems to be correct - in that i followed the example of all the other fields. i also changed the name of the file where my new csv file was located, but i did not change the names of the read and converted data files. Perhaps i need to change something else? It seems to me that it is still using the instructions from the old project to convert the data. Thanks again.
