Some of my photos were suddenly grey-white belted.

I have an IMac and I was on vacation and took of course a few photos... Something like a thousand. I copied the Photos from my camera to my IMac. And then everything was fine. I started to arrange them in different folders in iphoto but then there I saw the problem. Photos were suddenly grey-white belted. It looks like a dwarf moved into my IMac, cut the pictures in pieces, made some of them a little bit darker and moved them a little bit. It's really annoying. But it wasn't like that at the beginning. And also, when I move something into the recycle bin on iphoto, it's just gone. Also there's nothing in the recycle bin. It isn't deleted from the computer, but it is deleted from iphoto. I hope somebody can help me out here.

Yeah well, then I guess I have to comfort myself with the fact, that not every picture is damaged ^^ But still thank you for your help.
I copied it on a memory stick and pasted it into windows.
I've got only one last question: Do you have any idea, how I can avoid such things? Or how this could have happen?
You know, I don't want to make it happen a second time, I think you can understand that
kindly regards

    Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device.  Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud.  If someone deletes them, they are gone.  If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

  • I just bought an iPad mini. Some of the photos were downloaded from my iPhone but not all. Why?

    I just bought an iPad mini. Some of the photos from my iPhone downloaded to my new device but not all. Why?

    Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, giving your devices enough time to download them.  When you enabled photo stream on your iPad mini, you only downloaded photos from the last 30 days, as older photos are no longer in iCloud.  To stream older photos to your iPad, add them to a shared stream on your phone (http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  Then you can save them to the camera roll on your iPad mini and delete the shared stream.

  • Some of my photos are not displayed in events. The event is there and still named but photos won't display. Suggestions?

    Some of my photos are suddenly not showing inside the event. The event is still present as well as the title and number of photos in the event, but the photo is not showing. I get a black thumbnail with a dashed white box inside it. Any suggestions? It has not happened in all events, only a handful.
    Thanks

    That's an indication that the link/file path to the original file has been broken.  Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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.

    When I search for solutions, I find several references to the backup feature of Norton 360. There also were references to MozyHome and McAfee.

    Some of my photos in Iphoto turn blank (white) when I tried to edit the size like zoon in and out.Can someone help me on this?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • How can I solve this error message? Some of your photos, including the photo "IMG_0374.jpg", were not copied to the iPad "(my name's) iPad" because they cannot be displayed on your iPad.

    how can I solve this error message? "Some of your photos, including the photo “IMG_0374.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “(my name’s) iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad."
    There were 273 photos in the event syncing from my Mac, but only the last 103 made it to the ipad. Most of the photos were taken by an iphone. I would appreciate any thoughts or insights - thanks.

    Adrian-
    That error message suggests the photo is somehow corrupt.
    Do you have the Apple Camera Connection Kit?  You can set up a USB thumb drive with MS-DOS FAT-32 format and copy your photos to it into a folder named DCIM.  Assuming they have an 8 character plus suffix name, the iPad will recognize them and give you the option of transferring them via the Kit's USB adapter.
    Once they are transferred, you can find out if there is a problem with any.

  • I recently added many photos to my Library.  Now, in place of some event key photos, I have "palm tree" grey images showing a date but no images

    I have a large iPhoto library (about 130,000+ images).  Recently I added a whole lot from another Library, and now I have a smattering of many grey'ed out "palm tree" images, like events, only just showing drawings of palm trees.  I think the photo images are there (I hope they're not lost), but they don't show up in the "Event" format.  Even the Photostream "Events" show palm trees and blank.  Both libraries are on an external hard drive.
    While the additional large number of photos were being added, there was a message, "Import completed" (I believe), but also a message that the whole computer had run out of memory and locked up.  I have 8 GB of RAM in a MacBook Pro about a year old.
    I've had this problem before (with the Palm trees) but can't remember how to solve it.  Something about re-indexing the library by holding down the control, option and/or command buttons while opening..??  Maybe?  Would sure appreciate help with this.  Thanks

    What format is the external drive?
    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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

  • I need to be able to print or export some photos from iPhoto with the date the photos were taken.  Need this for a legal case.  Any suggestions?

    I need to be able to print or export some photos from iPhoto with the date the photos were taken.  Need this for a legal case.  Any suggestions?

    The date they were taken us in the EXIF data and is included in the export
    However it is trivial to modify it so I doubt that it would hold water in court

  • TS3989 Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
    To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

  • Help! Some of my photos in iPhoto have a big round white circle with an exclaimation mark in it. Can you help me?

    Some of my photos are opening and then immediately showing a big round white circle with a black exclaimation mark in the center. What the heck is this and how do I get rid of it? Help Joy

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iphoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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. .

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Some of my photos just show as grey JPG boxes

    I updated my iPhone 5 from iOS 7.0.4 to 7.1.2 before Apple stops signing 7.1.2 because I don't want to update to iOS 8 yet. After updating and restoring from my backup, I discovered this problem. Some of my photos just show as grey JPG boxes. The pics seem to be corrupted. I can't even open them after exporting it to my macbook using Image Capture. To make things worse, I never transfer my pics to iPhoto or even iCloud which is really an embarrassing mistake. I reinstalled 7.1.2 and restored from my backup but still have the problem. Another weird thing is that I backup my iPhone in my iTunes at least once a week, but the most recent backup that I have now aside from what I made just before updating was from September 11, 2013, which is a year ago. I also tried using different backup explorer tools to try to retrieve my pics but my most recent backup doesn't have the folders that these programs are looking for, unlike my older backups. I guess my backups are really messed up. I don't know what to do now. I lost very, very important and memorable pictures. I am so devastated. Please help me
