Slideshow & Thumbnail views inconsistent

I updated to IPhoto 6.0.3. Next time I started, it recommended rebuilding the index. I had done this after previous upgrades with no ill effects. However, now the thumbnails for individual Libraries show incorrect file names for a number of the pictures and show pictures that were not previously in that Library. But if I run the slideshow, it shows only the pictures that I had placed in that Library and the proper file names. Also many of the pictures in the thumbnail view are now distorted. How can I fix this?

Old Toad,
Thank you for your assistance. Your solution worked perfectly. But for anyone else reading this, a few caveats are in order.
1) To delete the Data folder an the thumbnail files, you have to use the Finder.
2) If you have a very large Library (I had over 5,000 images) the process takes a VERY long time (over 12 hours for me).
3) The process also uses up an immense amount of hard disk space. I had to move some other large folders off the main drive to an external drive.
4) While the process completely restored the Library and all Folders, the sequencing in the Folders was lost. Not a big problem, that can be fixed fairly quickly.
I will use the IPLM to reduce the size of the main Library to reduce the possibility of future disasters. Thanks again for a great tip!

  • In Photoshop Express, cannot sort images in album by filename in thumbnail view (for slideshow)l.

    In Photoshop Express, I want images to appear sorted by filename.  In the "view as a table" it sorts fine.  When I revert to the thumbnail view, the arrangement is random.  The dropdown "show" list does not offer an option for showing by filename.  If I select the"custom" option, it means I would need to sort 300 images by filename MANUALLY (!!!), a job that a computer does in milliseconds.  Anyone with a solution?  Thanks.

    fwiw, with my images in the 'Folder Location' view the photos are in order by their Windows filename. That is the same order as the hardcopy album the photos came from. So I then created a PSE Album. I selected all my photos and moved them into that album. The order of the pictures was retained in the Album. That worked out great. I wanted my PSE images to be in the same order. I thought I would do it with tags. But creating an album seems to work just fine.

  • Thumbnail View No Longer an Option

    After a recent iPhoto update I can no longer see my pictures in thumbnail view. I used to be able to get into an "Event" and see all of the pictures within the event in thumbnail view.
    By default, it will magnify one of the pictures in the event as if I selected it by double clicking. Has anyone else run into this issue. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. He probably had the slider at the bottom moved over to the far right.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • No "Thumbnails" View?  ?

    OK, I've labored long enough with the fundamentals... now I want to see if I can have some fun with this thing...
    I just plugged in an SD card reader (none built in... bummer) and loaded in a card with some photos I took this afternoon with my Nikon D80. The card shows up, no prob (well, I did have to look for it) and I opened a the folder with the photos. Now I would like to see them in the folder.
    On a Windows machine that's "thumbnails" view. But "thumbnails" is not one of the view options that I can find here on the Mac.
    So, is there a "thumbnails" option somewhere else that I just haven't quite latched on to?
    Gonna see what's up with iPhoto next...
    Thanks,
    --PS

    PS,
    If what you want is viewing of photos, you need to get them into iPhoto. I know why you want what you describe, now that you have given a little more detail. What I suggest is that you try to adapt a bit. Once you do, I think you will find the tools that are now available to you are much more powerful than what you are used to. Just adapt a bit.
    Use the Finder's "Slideshow" ability to filter what gets placed in iPhoto. Do this once with a batch of photos, then burn the originals to a data CD/DVD (label it, then put it away). TIP: When you close the slideshow, iPhoto will come to the front, then import all of the photos you selected to "send to iPhoto." Trouble is, these photos all get placed one-to-a-roll in iPhoto. No problem: simply select the bunch (click the first, find the last, then hold SHIFT and click it), then choose File>Create Film Roll.
    Once you have your good photos in iPhoto, the sky's the limit. The key, here, is that you will always use iPhoto to handle, view, and manage your photos, not the Finder.
    Alternatively, of course, you can just directly import into iPhoto from the camera or card every time, thereby leaving the Finder out of the equation entirely. iPhoto is designed for management of photos, and it usually does a much better job than you can ever do manually.

  • How do I move page order in Thumbnails view in the new pages? (which is driving me nuts btw)

    I'm really struggling with the new pages, having used the old version so much I just can't get the hang of this one - so much has changed:( Really wish I hadn't bothered but now have too many documents created in it that I can't open on old version as it doesn't let you (mump mump - well I am scottish).
    So in the old version I used thumbnail view to move about the order of the pages (really useful when making up artwork for magazines etc). Anyone know how to do it on the new version?
    Also can't seem to view document in '2 up' - 2 pages side by side (also very handy for magazines etc).
    Also the tables facility doesn't let you move borders of individual cells - you can only move the whole column - I can't even select them.
    I could go on but will go before I start the 'pages shake'.

    Hilary,
    Scottish or not, your best option is to retreat to the last good version of the app, Pages '09.
    Cut your losses.

  • I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.  I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

    I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
    I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.  The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls.  PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
    iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews.  I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
    I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV.  I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
    Am I out of luck?

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a page in the thumbnails view?

    We used to be able to copy and paste, even edit the order of the pages in thumbnail view. Why has ALL of this functionality been removed?! Or is there some special way to do it now that isn't as intuitive?

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 has had 90+ features removed and a load of bugs added.
    Any sensible user will just say "Pass!"

  • New Pages no longer allows SECTIONS (in thumbnail view window) to be re-arranged like before?

    New Pages no longer allows SECTIONS (in thumbnail view window) to be re-arranged like before? You could drag and drop sections within your document the same way you could drag and drop pages in Preview's PDF documents. So how do you re-arrnage your document now?
    ALSO
    You used to be able to duplicate/copy a section/page by draging it with OPTION-LEFT-CLICK to a space below or above in the thumbnial window. The same way it works in PREVIEW in a PDF document. Did I miss something or is this also a bug?!
    These were extremely helpful to me and I hope many others. Can anyone help!?
    Thanks :-)

    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

  • How to get thumbnail view in File-Open

    When I go to File-Open I would like my directories to come up in thumbnail view right away, instead of having to click on the View icon and then on Thumbnails. Is there any way to make this view the default?

    No, I gave you bad advice -- relied on something I had heard without
    checking it myself -- sorry. I've now done some checking, and there
    doesn't appear to be any way to do what you want. What I do is open My
    Pictures, which I've configured for Thumbnail View, and then drag and
    drop into PSE.

  • Scroll bar stuck on Thumbnail view

    Whenever I am using the scroll bar to scroll in the thumbnail
    view ,which is set to large, the scroll bar gets stuck. When I
    place my mouse on the bar and move it up and down it does not stop
    and jumps to different places in the thumbnail view - I can't seem
    to control it. I have tried turning on the libary and clicking
    around in it, but this does not fix the problem. The only solution
    I have found is to shut Captivate 2 down and start it again. Any
    suggestions?

    Hello queenlooners,
    I spoke with some of my colleagues and unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to disable the scroll bar. There have been other discussions on the forums such as overlaying the scroll bar or embedding it in a sub-panel.

  • How can i see the previews of a folder's images from the Thumbnail View?

    I mean, in windows XP if you set the Thumbnail View, inside the icon of the folder you can see the preview of the images inside ( like this http://mowd.idv.tw/LonghornPDC/folder_preview.JPG )...
    Is there a way to do it on Mac OS X? Maybe some plug-in, some file manager: anything...i often have to check out thousands of photos to find the reference for an illustration, and it's pretty frustrating having to open up every folder...
    Thanks in advance
    iMac 24"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    but none of these two options allows me to see a folder's images BEFORE opening it...
    You want to go back and try that again... just right click on the folder - you don't have to open it - and choose 'Show In PicturePopPro2'.
    Check out the icons on the menu bar - you can get a contact sheet view, move from shot to shot using the arrow keys... it'll do what you want.
    Regards

  • When I open a new tab, I want to see a thumbnail view of few recent pages. How to set that?

    My friend uses Google Chrome browser, and when he openes a new tab he can see on it a thumbnail view of 6 or 8 recent visited pages. Vith a simple click on each of them he can revisit that pages.
    I do not want to change my default browser (Firefox) but want to have that option.

    There are several add-ons that allow you to do this, such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2221/ NewTabURL].

  • Thumbnail view to Develop view... can I?

    Hey all,
    I must admit I am mystified by Lightroom's UI. But I am learning, slowly.
    One thing I have not yet figured out is how to get efficiently from the thumbnail view to the edit ("Develop") views. So I am constantly switching. All day long I go:
    1 - GO TO LIBRARY
    2 - SELECT THUMBNAILS
    3 - FIND THE IMAGE
    4 - GO TO DEVELOP
    5 - Do my thing (mainly crop and straighten)
    6 - GO TO 1
    This seems a lot of extra clicks. I would just like spend my time in one environment where I can do what I need, not constantly having to switch (twice for each image) from Library to Develop. Is there any way to do this? Is there a better workflow that I am missing?
    I need the thumbnail view becasue I find the long ribbon useless. I come back with 400 pictures froma shoot and scrolling left and right in that ribbon is worse than useless: I get lost and it takes me more time that not doing it at all.
    I am sure I am missing better ways to work. Any input appreciated.
    Michael

    Cmd/Ctrl+F11 opens the second display window, which can be configured to show a Grid view. Clicking on a thumbnail in the second window opens that photo into Develop module.
