Some Albums Appear to Be Blanks

Hi. The iPhoto when I click on Events show album that have blank tiles but I when I compare it to the photo on the iPhone 3G (4.2.1 firmware), it's in the iPhone. What could be the solution to these blank albums? Thank you in advance.

Since we can see nothing exact descriptions are critical
Events are the basic place pictures live and show when you select events in the source pane on the left
Albums are logical items that hold photos and are pointers to photos in events and show under albums in the source pane events and albums can not be shown together - if you click on events you see the events - if you click on albums you either expand or contract the list of albums - if you click on a specific album you display the photos in that album
Please describe your problem and your question in more detail

  • Why does only some of the tracks of an album appear on my ipad when syncing from my windows 7 using itunes?, why does only some of the tracks of an album appear on my ipad when syncing from my windows 7 using itunes?

    i on day two of having an ipad, updated to io5 but putting music on it is proving tiresome. i've stored some 20gb on my netbook windows 7 from my larger library and using the sync process am trying to put tunes on the pad. when some albums appear they have one,maybe two songs available to play, the rest are grey and can't be played. It seems an endless process and this really is the only thing i've have concerns about i really like it.

    That would be a question for Yahoo or Microsoft. It isn't your iPad that is doing this.

  • Some albums not listed under artist.

    Some albums appear in the Albums list but not in the Artist/Album submenu.
    eg; I have 2 albums by Sigur Ros but only one shows when I go:
    Artist/Sigur Ros - Album.
    I only see one.
    I see both under the Album list.
    Any thoughts appreciated...

    It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
    To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
    If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
    The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

  • In my iPhoto library, only some images appear as thumbnails.  The rest are blank but appear briefly when scrolling through or properly when double clicked.  Any ideas?

    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 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. .

  • Some albums don't appear in finder (Pictures)

    For some reason not all of my albums from iphoto appear in my "Pictures" folder in the finder. About 3/4 do, but not all. I have made sure that I haven't used any odd characters, etc. Is there a way to ensure they appear. That seems to be the best way to get the photos into other applications.
    Also, my "photos" folder under "pictures" in the finder will not open to show all of my photos. When I double click on it, iphoto opens. Is that standard?
    thank you,

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1. What version of iPhoto are you using? (iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto). I ask as you're posting in the v7 (iPhoto 08 forum) and in this (or indeed v6 or v5) no albums appear in the Finder at all.
    There is no way to make you albums "appear" in the Finder. Albums are virtual entities, there is no corresponding folder of images. An Album is an entry in the database.
    That seems to be the best way to get the photos into other applications.
    Not at all. Never access you photos via the Finder. Doing so risks damaging your Library.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    All of the above are faster and safer than rooting through the folders of the Library.
    lso, my "photos" folder under "pictures" in the finder will not open to show all of my photos. When I double click on it, iphoto opens. Is that standard?
    Yes. With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.

  • Some albums I put on my Mac to later sync with a Touch appears as seperate tracks and not a single album.  How do I get them back together again other than a playlist.  I do not want the tracks showing up as albums on the Touch?

    Are your tracks pat of a collection? Different artists, but still one album? Then mark them a s acollection or set the album artist. See this guide on how to group separate tracks into albums:

  • Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet thos albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop but none of the others. What's happening?

    Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet ONLY those albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop after being dragged there but none of the others. What's happening?
    I've read some of the post here that I thought might help but they refer to titles (Music) and triangles in the "Devices" window which are nowhere to be seen when I open the "Devices" window.
    I have iTunes 11.0.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8. Does this make a difference?

    I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

  • HT4236 what determins order photos are transferred, photos have been numbered and appear in the correct order on the laptop but transfer in a random order in some albums

    Can anyone assist witth the following query
    What determins order photos are transferred, my photos have been numbered and appear in the correct order on the laptop but transfer in a random order in some albums irrespective of title or date taken.
    Can i alter any setting to ensure photos will transfer in a logical order to track the history of the events in any particular album folder.

    Thanks for this, I have checked the dates in case the camera settings had been lost unfortunatly in this instance all pics are dated in correct order but not transferred in date order, or date modified order, or is the date config based on US date atyle?

  • IPhoto 9.6 is not playing my slideshows properly. Some of the photos show as thumbnails, but appear as a blank screen in the show

      Since upgrading my computer, I have fixed the loss of sound links to my slideshows. Now I find that some photos within the shows are just appearing as a blank screen although their thumbnails show in the slide show. One or two have had a message about the photo being edited in an earlier version of iphoto, and suggest that I create a duplicate photo to re-edit. Considering the hours that went into creating these slideshows, redoing them is NOT an option.Very disappointed that iPhoto can't run its earlier work. All slideshows have photos from only one photo upload per show, yet it seems that only part of the show's photos are affected.

    Give this a try (be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot):
    Do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
    3 - if necessary repeat with Option #1, Repair Permissions.

  • Some pages appear blank until I refresh the page then it displays normally

    When selecting some websites the page is blank until I refresh.

    This also happens to me (on Linux), usually when switching back to a tab which had already been displayed properly before. Suddenly the page is blank and the page must be reloaded manually.

  • Album Art - some albums will not allow art to be added manually - help?

    I've searched the archive for an answer to this, but haven't found a solution.
    I'm importing many of my CD's into iTunes, some of which I have to add the album art manually. For the most part this works just fine, as I go to "Info," and drag the art into the art window.
    But here's the problem - there are some albums that just WILL NOT display the art. I drag the art to the window, and it appears there, but does not "stick." When you play another song, then go back to the previous, the artwork is gone again.
    I've tried adding the art in every way I know how: drag to the window that says "drag artwork here" in the main window; going to "get info" then "artwork" and dragging the art into that window; and also clicking the "add" button and navigating to the stored art file...the result is always the same - the art doesn't stick. This is only for some albums; the majority work just fine.
    I've cleared the album art cache, with no change, and have also set the ID3 tag to "none" for the problematic albums (based on a suggestion in another posting). Both of these had no effect on the results - the art still won't stick.
    I'm at wit's end - anyone have a suggestion??

    Manual syncing seems a very inefficient method to use - it my experience its much easier to associate one or more playlists with your iDevice and then automatically sync to that.  Doing it this way allows you to set up what you want to sync without the iDevice being connected, and also allows you to manage what gets synced completely, since you can remove albums from the playlist so that they're automatically deleted from your iDevice next time you sync.

  • Itunes doesn't list all my music in my itunes library, will refuse to sync some albums

    Both of these problems have been issues for me for years. I've finally gotten irritated enough to post something. As a musician with a variable and eclectic taste, I've always had a huge CD collection. Some years ago I got my first mp3 player and soon broke down and converted every last CD to mp3. Now everything I buy is digital and I have some 300 GB of mp3's!
    I've searched around for a solution to this problem many times over the past several years and was never able to find any posts that describe either problem.
    The first part of my problem has always been that, after installing iTunes and telling it where my library is, it starts to catalog them in the iTunes library. However it always stops short of cataloging all my music. Also, after the inital cataloging it does right after installing iTunes, it never cataloges again, so my new music never appears in the library. This is very irritating since this means I can't listen to my new music on my iPhone.
    The second part of my problem happens when I try to sync individual albums that are already in my iTunes library with my iPhone 3GS 32GB (iOS 5). This also has been a problem for years. I prefer to sync individual albums with my iPhone, so I keep the "sync only checked songs and videos" box checked, and then go into (my iphone)>music and check individual albums. Sometimes I will try to add a few albums to my iPhone, so I'll go and check them and click Sync. iTunes goes through the sync process, but during the last step where it's supposed to copy the songs to the phone, it will not copy any songs. I check on my phone, and sure enough they are not there. I check the list of checked albums in iTunes in (my phone)>Music and they are checked. Unchecking, clicking sync, then checking again, and clicking sync gives me the same exact results. Whenver this happens with an album, the album forever refuses to be synced with my phone. Also, each time this happens, the bar at the bottom of iTunes showing the free space in my iPhone decreases as if it's on there, but it is not on the phone. I can go on to sync other albums with my phone, but the albums that misbehave like this will never sync. I know it's not the mp3's that are in the albums: they play just fine in both WMP and iTunes. Also there does not seem to be a pattern to which albums will not sync. Some albums were ripped from my original CD collection, some were bought digitally.
    How can I fix these issues? I think they're distinct and not related. Thanks in advance for all the helpful tips

    Reboot.   Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

  • Sort By Artist leaves spaces between some albums and some without. Help !

    Hello All,
    So I'm looking for some help here. I have my iTunes in basically perfect order but the one thing I can't figure out is that when sorting by artist (or even by album for that matter). Some albums have a one line space between them and others do not.
    I've attached a screen shot to explain.
    http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj87/TSchiewe/Picture1-3.png
    If you look, there's a line space between "Arcade Fire" and "Archie Bell & the Drells"(which is what I want for everything). But no line space between "Archie Bell & the Drells" and "Architecture In Helsinki" and for that matter between the the next "Architecture In Helsinki" album.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can seem to find anything but I think its mainly do to the ambiguous terms.
    Travis.

    You'll probably find that if you shrink the artwork column a bit the blank line disappears. For albums with few tracks there will always be some blank lines to allow the art to be displayed, but at some point the display changes to contiguous listing. As far as I'm aware this is a cosmetic change introduced with iTunes 8. In iTunes 7.x there was always at least one blank line separating albums in the equivalent layout.
