Show photos not in collections?

Hi! After distributing my photos into collections I have faced the following need: now I wish to review ONLY photos that are not present in ANY collection in order to see if I have missed something that needs to be put into an existing collection.
Is there a way to do that? If not then I request this feature! Wish to hear your opinions...

Currently only a work around. Ctl/Cmd select all the collections. Select All in the Grid. Menu/Edit/Invert Selection. Somehow tag them. Color Label, Flag, Quick Collection.
There you go.
Otherwise some mechanism for this has been requested before.

Find Photos Not In Collection

I am sure this seems like a OTW [off the wall] requirement, but does anyone know how to locate photos that have not been assigned to a Collection?
I have 13,500 photos and went through them assigning them to collections. After that exercise, I find I have 13,255 photos in my collections and am now trying to discover which I missed. Any thoughts?
Mel

Don,
Thanks. I don't use the Invert Selection often [now seeing the value I will be using it more] and it never occurred to me. Worked well but LR kind of chokes when it manipulates 13500 photos at once. Doesn't die, just uses 50% of cpu and goes really slowly.
I think the LR folks will have to do some thinking about "massive" photo actions as the program gets more popular with some really big collections to be worked on. I am optimistic.
Thanks again,
Mel

Finding photos not in collections

I recently imported about 3,500 photos into Lightroom 1.3.1 and placed each imported photo in one or another collection I created. Somehow, about fifty of the 3,500 files did not end up in any collection. (My oversight or error, I'm sure.) Is there a way to search the entire catalog for those fifty photos so I can put them in their proper collections?
I'm using Windows XP, Lightroom 1.3.1, and a beginner's understanding of Lightroom.

It is very simple actually. Simply select all your collections by shift clicking. Then do a select all in the grid browser (Apple-A or whatever the equivalent on windows is) and click on "All photographs." Now in the edit menu do "Invert selection" and you will have selected all photographs that are not in any collection. You can make a quick collection out of those by hitting B, or make a new collection by hitting command-N.

Photo Stream photos not showing up in Photos Collections

I've noticed on my iPhone 5s, many photos from Photo Stream are not appearing in the "Photos" tab where I can view photos by year, collections, moments, etc. I have many Photo Stream photos appearing, but it is sporadic.
On my iPad, all Photo Stream photos appear in the Photos tab just fine.
I've attached a screen shot from each of my devices as an example. Both devices are pulling from the same Photo Stream, so theoretically, they should be showing the same photos. My iPad shows 10 photos. My iPhone shows 2 (shows 3 in the screen grab because one is a video).
How can I force the Photos tab to update to reflect all the photos in my Photo Stream?

I FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE. But no resolution.
It appears that my iPhone 5s's Photos tab only shows Photo Stream photos of photos RECEIVED from other devices, but not Photo Stream photos of photos that ORIGINATED on my iPhone. Does this make sense? Here's an example:
1) Take Photo A on iPhone
2) Take Photo B on iPad
3) Allow Photo A and Photo B to upload to Photo Stream
4) See Photo A and B in Photo Stream on both devices
5) See Photo A and B in Photos tab on both devices.
6) Delete the camera roll copy of Photo A from the iPhone.
7) Photo A is now MISSING from the Photos tab of iPhone, but is still viewable in iPhone Photo Stream
THUS = Photos tab is not accessing Photo Stream
I can replicate this on my iPad
4) See Photo A and B in Photo Stream on both devices
5) See Photo A and B in Photos tab on both devices.
6) Delete the camera roll copy of Photo B from the iPad.
7) Photo B is now MISSING from the Photos tab of iPad, but is still viewable in iPad Photo Stream
This appears to be some way to prevent duplications on your local device. Apple doesn't want you to see the Photo Stream copy and the Camera Roll copy BOTH in the Photos tab. However, if you delete the Camera Roll copy, the Photo Stream copy DOES NOT appear in the Photos tab. This is dumb because I delete the Camera Roll copy as soon as it finishes uploading to Photo Stream. There is no reason to keep both copies on your iOS device. However, now I can't enjoy the Photo Stream photos in the Photos tab.

HDR photos not showing in moments gallery and not sharing correctly via iCloud

I have an iPhone 4s with ios 7 and when I take hdr photos that are not showing in my moments collection. They have the thumbnail but not the full image when I select the image and when I go to share them to icloud they don't import into iphoto either. Also when I take square photos in ios7 the photo effects arn't applied when I import them into iphoto. Thanks for any help!

Soft reset did the trick

IOS8 Photos not showing photos in chronological order

Photos App not showing photos in chronological order!!
what gives apple?! I take a picture, go to Photos and since theres no more camera roll, I'm forced to go into Photos Tab, and when I select "Collections", I see the tiny thumbs of all my pictures sorted which look fine in chronological order, But when select to go down to the next level of viewing (Moments), the dates are all over the place! When I scroll all the way down, I should technically be at the most recent of my pictures taken. Its not, it shows Aug26. Then one above that Aug 21 Then next few are in Aug; mind you we are in September. Then theres Jun 25. THEN finally some recent photos of Sept 26 and 15!!! THEN the next one is MAY 31.
So trying to find my most recent photos taken is painstakingly tough.

Check this thread out. I have mobileme, but this solution worked, perhaps you could try something similar for your Gmail account...

photos not getting added up to my photostream. It's showing some kinda registry error in my windows. Plz help!!

Hi Melissa_C!
I have an article for you that may help shed light on this circumstance:
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Smart collection shows as not in a collection

I am hoping my 100% answered questions are kept up with this one :O)
I am trying to do a collection that contains all images that are not in a collection (including smart collections).
1) Is this possible?
I ask because logic says that if the search finds images then puts them in this collection, that wil mean that they are no longer without a collection, a bit of a continuous circle!
2) I have tried to do the above with what I thought was sucess, 6000 of my 11,000 images were found which I initially thought to be correct. However on thorough investigation I have found that images in SMART collections are classed as not being in a collection. I proved this by right clicking the image and selecting "Show in Collection" and every smart collection image always returns the greyed out "Not in a collection".
By the way, the search I set up was:
Collection.....Doesn't contain......a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z
Any ideas?

Thanks for the answers.
Its a shame LR seems to class smart collections as more of a query or a search rather than an "automatic" collection. It would be nice to filter to show all photos NOT in any type of collection, which would make deleting images easier (for me anyway).
An example was I have some poor quality photos which I deleted (I don't want to bloat my catalog!) only to find out later that they belonged to a smart collection which had a particular significance which I wanted to keep. I had right clicked on them to see if they were in a collection, which showed as none.
This means that in my type of workflow I can sadly not use smart collections and all of their advantages.
Hopefully in LR 3.0?

Photos not showing up in 'blog' list of entries?

I've customized my blog entry pages, so the positioning of the photo has been altered ... but I'm still using the 'mask' (that was the placeholder for the still in the original template). But the picture is not showing up automatically in the Entries 'list'.
In the 'Blog summary' pop-up menu the 'show photos' box is clicked on, and the size adjustment set to larger than 'o'. But I don't see a pic in the appropriate place in the list.
I'm wondering what I might have done when customizing the page to make the picture no longer appear in the list?

Bonjour
You may have an issue with the image placeholder in the entry. Never remove the placeholder, even for a "cut-paste". If you cut-paste the image in this placeholder, you will have even the tooltilps "this is placeholder, drag a new media here to replace it" and it seems to be ok but it's wrong, you won't have an image in the blog summary of the blog main page anymore. So you will have to rebuild your entry from scratch.
Be careful if your duplicate the placeholder, only the original one works properly. Never delete it.

Albums not showing photos

I am just learning about IPhoto 5. I made albums and all was great for days with slide shows and all. Then I added some new photo's to albums, now my albums will not show photo's. I can only see my photo's in IPhoto folders that are of various numbers, 01, 02, 04, 10 etc... what are these numbers and why did my photos disapear from my albums?

Hi cazam,
I am not sure if you are talking about seeing the albums within iPhoto or if you are talking about seeing the album folder in the Finder. The album folder in the Finder that was present with iPhoto 4 is no longer used by iPhoto 5. This is why you don't see it in the Finder.
This is a view of how the iPhoto 5 Library looks in the Finder.
It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.

Facebook not showing photos

Hi,
My Facebook app does not show photos, mine or other peoples, when in album view I get empty boxes and when I click to view a photo I get an ugly pixelated grey box with a cross in it - any ideas? I've checked the apps permissions on Facebook and it has access to my photos.
Leon
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

Thanks for posting your concern, Shailja61. Does it happen regardless of the connection you are using? Is the phone's software up-to-date? Are you also unable to see your Facebook contacts photos when you go to People hub? Did you already try updating all the system apps? To update it, scan the QR codes from this link: App updates.
We'll wait for your response.

Photostream not showing photos on iMac

Why is my Photostream not showing photos in iphoto, if I drag them in they do go onto the ipad but disappear off the photostream in iPhoto?

Same problem here. Photostream works (most of the time). Photos are synchronized. Sometimes, it seems as if it wouldn't synchronize them, but then it starts a few minutes later to put them in the Photostrem August Event under events. Just the Photostream part of iPhoto doesn't show any photos...
But I'm glad I've found someone with the same problem. Now we can compare our cases and maybe, we'll find what we have in common that could have caused this.
I'll start describing everything I can think of that could influence this and you (and others) can tell me if this is true for you too.
Can't be the system, as I see you're on Leopard (10.5). I'm on Mountain Lion (10.8) and problem already existed under Lion(10.7).
1. Old iMac (mid2007, at that time high end, but now obviously quiet slow)
2. iPhoto is on an external harddrive (that's what I suspect it might come from). Not sure if the problem was there before, because I rarely go to the Photostream view.
3. Used Duplicate Annihilator to find duplicates. It said something about turning off photostream first. Normally, I did this. Maybe I forgot once and my library got damaged?
Not sure what else could have caused this... Maybe we find out if we compare...

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.
OT

Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

My Photo Not Showing Up in Messages

My photo does not show beside my texts in Messages on my Mac. Only a shadow of a generic person in a rectangle is there. I can see the photos of others who write me, though. I have my photo in Contacts and it does show up in Mail, but not in Messages. My photo also shows up in IMessage on the iPad.
Why is my photo not showing up in Messages and how could I make it visible? Thanks.

HI,
Your Pic is set if you have Buddy list set up/logged in.
Enable the Bonjour account if you do not have Jabber, AIM or Yahoo IDs set up in Messages.
Click on the current Buddy Pic.
You may find it has pulled the Pic from the My Card in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
In turn this may be picking up on the System Preferences > User and Groups > your account Login pic.
That is to say when you set up the (Mac User) Account it asked you to create/chose a pic from the Login Screen.
Later the process of setting up an Accounts asked for details that create the Contacts/Address Book Card and the Login in pic is dragged across.
AS you then get to set up Messages (Or iChat) then the My Card pic is pulled through.
All three spots can be changed independently of each other.
Some of the Recent Items can be from either of the others.
This is my Buddy list pic and th "Recents" I have.
The Zebra and head in "teeth" pics are from some testing I did with Pics in the Contacts > My Card options rather than Messages.
Finally once you have a pic linked to Messages then it also show up at your end for the Chat window for iMessages (as well as for you in AIM or Jabber)
NOTE
In AIM and Jabber (Or Yahoo) your Pic is Broadcast and is what you Buddy sees next to your Name (They can override this though)
In iMessages though your pic is not sent and your Buddy's Contacts app supplies whatever pic they have for you. (As yours does for them)
