Smart Album Not Displaying All Photos for Keywords

Hello,
hmmm ...
I have a smart album looking for a specific keyword. This album is displaying the correct numbers of fotos with the correct keywords - but some fotos are not displayed (white background, filesize 0, exclamation mark when trying to edit).
I have checked, that the fotos are still on place: they are in the library, the (same) keyword search out of the library is working, spotlight is finding them. I did a database rebuilt.
But i have still the problem, which seems to exist only with smart albums.
Any suggestions?
Happy new year
Ivo

Hi Terence,
You are right. The Photos are indeed missing, i opened the iphoto "original" folder, which ist empty. For what reason ever. The missing photos are others than i thought.
Now i'm looking to restore them - i hope i have a suitable backup.
Thanks.

Photo App does not display all photos

Running iOS 7.0.4 on an iPhone 4S. The new Photo App does not display all photos properly. All photos show up as thumbnails. However, when you tap on some of them, only a blank page is displayed. The rest is fine. This issue started after the upgrade to iOS 7. Is this a bug? Hardware-related?

Upon closer inspection it appears that the missing photos are in a folder called IPhoto Library. This folder is greyed out when I choose the import folder.
When I use 'show package contents' it reveals the missing photos (below). Why is my iphoto library so scrambled! Thanks for any insight.

Smart Album not display photos

I set all my smart albums by using the calendar setting by date. Three (3) of my smart albums do not display the photos. I've checked to ensure the photos are in my library and are dated correctly. I've also done a consistency check and rebuilt my Library. The smart albums still do not display the photos. Smart albums on either side of the non-functioning smart albums display photos as set.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Where are the Smart Albums located in your library? Aperture actually scopes Smart Albums based on where they are initially created. So if you, say, create a folder called "Smart Albums" at the highest level of your hierarchy, in a folder where there are no projects, the Smart Albums will always be empty. You need to create them somewhere that there are projects with photos.
It's a bit confusing until you understand what's going on. Have a read of the document on Smart Albums which explains how they work in particular. This really is one area where you do have to read the manual to understand… I think their functionality could be cleared up a bit in the UI to make it more obvious that they're scoped.

Iphoto 11/Part of Ilife does not display all photos in "photos" or "events"

I am running latest version of everything, just loaded ILife. Iphoto 11 does not show "ALL" photos when I use "photo" or "event" view. It shows some....when I cycle down through the Blank images in these views, it will often show the pictures as I mouse click down.....but as soon as I take my finger off the mouse, everything (well, almost everything) reverts to blanks.
There is nothing selected to be hidden.
I have "Faces" set up and now when i look through an individual "Face" file, there will be intermittent Blanks.
Very screwy, anybody Help????

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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, 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.

Smart Album's Display Wrong Photos (By Date)

Compiling the family photos from vacation, about 8 different camera's. Different clocks on all the camera's I'm trying to get photos to show up in Date driven smart albums.
Day 1 June 25
Day 2 June 26
I have adjusted the timezones successfully for most of the photos, now I need to perform some batch changes to clean up problems.
After I do this, my Smart Albums are not showing the right photos -- they keep showing photos from the previous day no mater what I do.
The Image Date is showing up as correct for the problem photos...
Any suggestions?

Smrt album not syncing all photos to iPhone

I made a smart album today, and then chose to sync that smart album to my iPhone from iTunes. However, iTunes syncs only 5 photos. Aperture tells me there are 86 photos.
I figured the problem was that only 5 photos had previews generated. However, I have used the Update Preview function on 6 photos, as well as the Generate Preview function on 6 photos. However, iTunes still says there are only 5 photos in the smart album. (I chose 6 photos because in the best case for my test, I would get 6 new previews, while in the worst case I would get 1 new preview. In any case, I would get some new previews.)
When I use iPhoto to "Show Aperture Library", I see only 5 photos as well.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this smart album to sync? Am I on the right track with the previews?
thanks,
nathan

Huskte,
Yes, other albums sync, although I have only 1 other album selected. The rest of the Aperture -> iPhone integration is done by iTunes's "All projects within the past x days" selection. Come to think of it, I'm not sure if they are all there... I will have to check that out.
Good suggestion, however, I'm pretty darn sure it doesn't have to do with the iPod Photo cache. I tested the Aperture sharing capability by looking at this smart album through iPhoto, and it (like iTunes) says only 5 photos are in the smart album. It's something to check when I get back to the mac, though.

Shared albums not shown in Photos for Mac

I upgraded my iPhoto library to Photos yesterday and the main photo content migrated fine. I have two OS X devices - a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini.
On my MacBook Pro, if I enable the sidebar in Photos, I see:
Photos
Shared
Activity
<Other shared albums - both my own and from another iCloud user>
Albums<Various Albums>
On my Mac Mini, I only see:
Photos
Albums<Various Albums>
So Photos on the Mac Mini is not picking up on existing shared albums. If I go to View | Shared it prompts me to "Start Sharing" (as if I haven't done this before). If I click Start Sharing and then create a test album the sharing dialog just vanishes after I select and email address to share with.
Anybody else seeing this? Any ideas?

Ok. I followed another suggestion and tried restarting the computer. It seemed to bring up the libraries. At first, I saw no pictures from the shared photos as they reported zero photos when they came up. However, leaving it open for a while seemed to bring back more and more of the libraries, and that was only after restarting the computer a 2nd time. I did get almost all my shared photos back, but each time it seems to stop and not bring all the photos back. I'll try restarting another time as it seems to be the big thing here.
The syncing activity in Yosemite seems to have some internal limit, where it stops attempting to grab photos from the stream and/or share, and then Photos only tries looking again after a computer restart, not a restart of the application.

Not displaying all "photos", locked on last filter setting.

Aperture 3 issues.
Having a major reorganization of my database.
When Viewing "Photos" (meaning all photos from database) and using filters, the viewer seems to have gotton stuck on the last set filter and it can't be changed. The filter has been cleared but no changes to displayed images.
Have closed app and reopened to no effect.
The whole keyword thing is acting strange.

"all photos" album not including all photos. Causing some photo not to be uploaded to iCloud Photo Library

After updating to iCloud photo library (iPhone 5, iOS 8.1), if I look at my "photos" tab I see over 700 photos, but in the 'all photos' album I only have 420. This results in only 420 of the photos uploaded to iCloud Photo library and not clearing much space off of my iPhone.

The FAVOURITES and PANOS albums also sort by date and time too. So all the albums sort by time and day except the ALL PHOTOS album! Seems very strange! What's even odder is that the date range listed at the top of the ALL PHOTOS album would suggest that they are sorted by date!
Apple I hope you SORT this out soon

Facebook albums not showing all photos in iPhoto

I'm trying to export all of the photos (several hundred) from Facebook to iPhoto. Facebook is having difficulty creating an archive, and rather than wait for them to fix whatever that problem is I'm trying to import them directly using the Facebook connector in iPhoto.
I added the account and it shows up in the list of Web albums. However, when the account is opened, only three albums are present (instead of six) with a total of five photos (instead of hundreds). Does anyone have any suggestions for what to check to make sure that iPhoto is connecting properly and how to get the photos from Facebook imported into iPhoto?
Please don't suggest downloading each photo individually, I don't have time to right click several hundred photos one at a time.

The only Facebook albums that will appear in iPhoto will be manually created ones. Auto-created albums by other apps or Facebook itself (Instagram, Mobile Uploads, Wall Album, etc) won't appear. Are those the ones missing?

"Place is empty" Smart Album - not working as expected

Hey just trying to figure out why when I make a Smart Album with the only criteria being "Place" "is empty" I get no pictures.
About 10,000 photos in library, several hundred if not thousands have a "Place" tag under places.
I would expect this Smart Album would display all of the photos I have not tagged with a place, or have no GPS data already.
What am I doing wrong?

Using "Includes" and nothing in the text box worked. Thanks! Very odd behavior though...

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

IPhoto 11 - Photos From Option-Selected Smart Albums Not Included in Slideshow

Running iPhoto 11 on an Spring 2013 iMac (new thin bezel; hard state drive). I have multiple "smart" albums in my library, based upon keywords. When I try to select a subset of those smart albums for inclusion in a slideshow (i.e. clicking the play button at the bottom of the iPhoto interface), iPhoto only includes the photos I select from the given albums about 50% of the time.
For example, I may select albums 1, 3 and 5 for the slideshow, out of 10 albums total. iPhoto will only include photos from albums 1 and 5 in the working "selection" of photos, despite my explicit inclusion of the photos from album 3 in what I selected.
This is such a terrible and obviously preventable bug I am pretty furious.
<Edited by Host>

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If there's no improvement as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

NOT WORKING -How To Display All Comments for a Planning Package

Hi All,
I am using How to Document "How To Display All Comments for a Planning Package" to display comments for list of "cost center" against different "fiscal/year" for Key Figure "Budget Amount".
Below is how the Layout looks like where comments are posted against Cost Center- year combination.
Cost Center                          2007     2008     2009     2010     2011
3          2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00
4          2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00
6          2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00
7          2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00
This case is very similar to the example given in how to document but after following all the steps correctly in the document and also followings various forum links such as below , I am not able to display the comments for list of Cost Centers.
"How to...BSP display comments"...problem with row comment
Below are the issues being faced:
1) When i save the comments , the icon for comments (indicating that some comments have been entered) is not shown against selection of Cost Center-Year although the comment is saved.Comment are also visible in BPS0.
2) On execution "Web interface could not be loaded" - is the message that is shown in the area where BPS application should show all the comments.
Highly Appreciate any help with issues mentioned above.
Kind Regards,
Robin Johri

Hello Robin,
1) please check if you set the row/cell selection property correctly for the layout component in the web interface.
2) the error does not make sense since the comments are displayed in an iframe using a BSP application, not a web interface. Check the URL in the HTML text component.

Safari 3.2.1 for XP does not display all graphics properly

Safari 3.2.1 for XP does not display all graphics properly, including the Apple Support Website http://www.apple.com/support/.

Maybe this will also help:
If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
• history.plist
• lastsession.plist
(Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
(These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
(Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.
