Some of my photos have a disconnected link after being cropped on iPhoto

I am an editor of a art/lit magazine. We take pictures of the art work, upload them to iPhoto, crop/edit them, and then move them into Indesign. Most of the pictures work when we do that, but for five of them, it doesn't. We upload those, crop them, and then when we go back to the picture, it just turns black when we try to do anything with it. We've tried to retake the pictures, but each time the same thing keeps happening after we edit it. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this, or if we are doing something wrong. It only does it for certain pictures of the same artwork, so we have no idea what is wrong.
*PLEASE HELP:)*

Reply to Terence Devlin:
There really is not anything different with the pictures. We will take a picture of the same piece of art mulitple times, and all the pictures of the same piece of art work don't work.
It only messes up after we crop it.
We tried the backup and rebuild, but it didn't work.
Thank you though!

Ipod disconnects immediately after being connected to computer

Every time I plug my iPod into my computer it says "Connecting" then it says "Ejecting" and then "OK to disconnect"! WHY????? It does not show up in the sidebar in iTunes, and it does not show up in My Computer.
I have plugged it into every USB port on my computer, none of them worked
I have already updated iTunes.
I have already put the iPod in disk mode.. that did NOTHING.
I know it's not a problem with my USB ports, because other devices work JUST FINE in them
I know it's not an issue with the USB cable because I plugged my iPod into another computer and my iPod did not disconnect right after being connected
PLEASE help me get my iPod to work on this computer. And I don't want answers telling me to use the other computer. My Library is on THIS computer. Not only that, iTunes doesn't even work on the other computer.

IPhoto some of my photos have gotten very small. I don't know how this happened and I can't get them back to normal size. Any ideas?

I have a large iPhoto library, personal. Some of my older photos have downsized to be very small. I am unable to get them back to normal size. I do not know how or when this happened and don't know if I did something to cause it. I have upgraded computers several times. Currently have a 2011 model 27" iMac with 10.7.4. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you explain what you mean by this? Dimension? File size?

Some of my photos have disappeared

I know there are a lot of topics on this but I couldnt find one that helped me specifically. Some of my photos (spread throughout my library, not a specific group of photos, although some groups of photos are intact while others seem to be half there and half not) won't show up when I click on them in iPhoto, although their thumbnails are there. When I realized this I painstakingly tried to find the first 15 or so in my spotlight search and found them in my pictures folder, so I deleted the ones in iPhoto and imported them again (I have not tampered with the iPhoto library folder in Finder, I found out you couldn't do that the hard way before). But then I found that some of the photos are not in my pictures folder or it would seem anywhere in my computer except the thumbnail in iPhoto that doesn't show the actual photo. A while ago I did empty my iPhoto trash and then also my actualy trash because I was running out of space, and possibly that is when it happened because I haven't looked through my photos since then. So now I am hooped. And hopefully there is something I can do, because I have had many bad experiences with losing photos!

I am what sounds to be the exact problem.
About a month ago I started to notice that some of my pictures were randomly acting up. The thumbnails still appeared in iPhoto, but when double clicked, an error would occar. I tried reverting to original and that seemed to work, even though I then needed to re edit the once missing pics. But since then, all of my pics have gone "missing" with the thumbnails still appearing. I tried to revert them to the originals again, but that doesn't make a difference any more.
How can I get my pictures back and prevent this from happening again?
On another note, I need to transfer my photos from my PC to my Mac Book Pro. I do not have an external drive or a router to use. I am buying an iPod Video and will be using it to tranfer my iTunes from my PC to Mac. Can I use it to tranfer my pics? I was using Picasa on my PC, how would I transfer them. I will need detailed instructions as my PC keeps screwing up, so I know I am doing it right and if it doesn't work, it's not me.

Some of my photos have disappeared from my iPad and iphone

I Have lost a large number of photos from my collections/albums. Random dates. How can I retrieve these. Everything is backed up to the cloud.

Howdy Jan,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like some photos are missing from your iPhone and you want to know how to go about recovering them from an iCloud backup. Take a look at the articles linked below, the first will walk you through the restore process and the second provides information that’ll assist you in recovering photos after restoring from an iCloud backup.
iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
Get help finding missing information in iCloud after restoring an iOS device - Apple Support
Your photos
In iOS 8 with iCloud Photo Library beta turned on, your photos and videos are stored in iCloud. They aren’t included in your iCloud backup. When you restore from iCloud Photo Library, your device downloads thumbnails of your photos and videos, and any original photos stored on your device.
If you’re using iOS 8 and haven’t turned on iCloud Photo Library, or if you’re using iOS 7, iCloud backup includes photos and videos in your Photo Library or Camera Roll. They’ll download to your iOS device when you restore.
Photos in My Photo Stream are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t part of your backup. iCloud stores the photos that you uploaded to My Photo Stream for 30 days. To keep these photos on your device and make them part of your backups, save these photos to your Photo Library, Camera Roll, or another album.
To view a My Photo Stream album, make sure My Photo Stream is turned on in Settings (If you use iCloud Photo Library, the My Photo Stream folder is removed).
To recover photos that originally synced to your device from your computer, sync your device using iTunes on a computer.
To restore Photo Library (or Camera Roll) photos to an iPhone or iPod touch, the iCloud backup must be from an iPhone or iPod touch. To restore Photo Library (or Camera Roll) photos to an iPad, the iCloud backup must be from an iPad.
Ciao,

Some of my photos have disappeared from iphoto

Hi
I'm running iphoto 09 (version 8.1.2 424) on my Mac Book (Mac OS X 10.5.6).
I've just noticed that several photos are missing from various events. In some cases there is only one photo left. This appears to have happened randomly - some of the events are unaffected, others have just a few missing, others most.
Are there any suggestions as to what might have happened and how I could retrieve the photos? There are no thumbnails or anything. They just appear to have vanished!
Many thanks.

OK so I've been digging around in this forum and seen a post which says that dragging photos from iphoto to the Trash Can in the Finder sidebar rather than iphoto's trash can, can corrupt the iphoto Library.
I've always deleted photos from iphoto by doing this - I didn't realise this was something I shouldn't be doing. Could this be the cause? And if so can I do anything to remedy it?
I regular back up everything to an external hard drive but I have never had cause to restore anything from it. Would I be able to do this without losing what I already have, and is there an optimum way to restore photos I don't currently have on the imac which might still be backed up on the external hard drive?
Thank you.

I know some of my photos have NOT been imported in to the iPhoto library. How can I find which ones?

In error, for a period, I had iPhoto set up such that photos were not imported into the iPhoto library but left scattered around my iMac. How can I find which ones without selecting each individual photo - there are nearly 9,000?

Are you able to view them in full size in the library, i.e. don't get this
when you try to view the photo in full size? If you can then you can do the following to consolidate all of the master image files inside the library.
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - 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
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Photos not showing up in photo stream after being imported to iPhoto from a DSLR camera?

I have a DSLR camera and for the longest time, I would import photos from a shoot to iPhoto and after about 20 minutes they would have all shown up in my photo stream on my Mac and my iPhone. But recently, the photos will not show up on either photo stream and trying to share a new photo stream with myself never works. Help?

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Recently installed iLife '08 appears to have dumped some of my photos

Since installing iLife '08 very recently a number of photos have disappeared. If I go to the iPhoto Library all I have is AlbumData.xml - Dir.data - Library.data and an Album file. All the contents of the album file are alias jpegs and that's it. No originals. There isn't even a file holding originals of the photos I can see in the iPhoto application.
If anyone can help I'd be extremely grateful!
Thanks.... in anticipation.

Elaine:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You are looking in the Pictures folder for the library pacakge, right? Your contents of your library package should look like this? How did you go about updating to iLife 08 and the updating the library?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I organise photos in my shared photo stream (public web link)

I have created a shared photo stream as a public web link and sent the link to some peopls to view it. I intend adding photos to it over time, for them to see.
When I (or they) look at the photostream via the web site link, the photos have automatically been arranged, ordered and cropped in not necessaroily the way I would want. Is there a way I can change the layout that these photos are presented in ?
Thanks for any ideas.

You are welcome!
That is a shame that we can't change the layout. Oh well!
I am hoping for future improvements You may want to send a feature request to Apple - the more, the merrier!

Doesn't sound like your restored from your backup, otherwise pics in your camera roll would've transfer over.
Take a look at the link and double check you did the correct steps.

I have a disconnect between my external hard drive and lightroom 5.6. The recommended steps do not connect 11000 photos on the hard drive. How can I connect? I am concerned I have lost my edits in lightroom.

after some sorting out your article, I clicked on a question mark with the message find the missing folder. This brought me to a page where I could choose a folder by year and click on it. The question marks disappeared and the photos were available. In some cases I had to click on the year folder for each subfolder by date.
The find missing folders message did not bring me to the finder window in which I could click on folders in the hard drive itself. I appreciate your help big time!!
