Some photos in directory aren't showing in library anymore

i recently upgraded to iphoto6 and everything was fine, until i noticed that not all of my film rolls were there....(they were there to begin with in iphoto6) there are now about a month of photos that i can see in the directory and aren't showing in the library. i have started iphoto holding down apple and option and checked all 4 boxes. it didn't help. i'm not sure how to get it to recognize those pictures and exhibit them in the library again. does anyone have any ideas?

Hello Tommy!
Using iMovie HD (5) or iMovie 6 is one way of doing it. Another, to circumvent the reasons explained previously, is to use an application like Photo to Movie, with which I am currently experimenting. Many will tell you that this, and/or its competitor PhotoMagico, does a better job.
But you are actually asking the wrong person (and with a bit of luck one of the resident experts in slide shows will chip in, although it would have been better if you has started your own thread) as I have yet to make one!
I have used photos in movie projects as an 'epilogue' to the movie and that has worked fine, but I am still at the stage of scanning in some 6,000 old negatives and slides view a view to making slide shows, as well as digital data DVDs, for posterity!
So for the time being I shall simply share your learning curve!

Some photos from one day are showing up on my photo stream, and others from that same day are not. Any idea why this might be?

Took a bunch of photos on vacation one day, and it seems like the first batch from one day are not showing up, but then all of a sudden, the ones from the second half of the day are there. They are not showing up on the photostream on my iPhone on which I took the photos, or on my iPad or in iPhoto on my computer. Any idea why this could be happening? All the other photos I took all week showed up on my Photostream.
Is there anyway to force these photos into the photostream?
Thanks! Any help would be appreciated!

photo stream uploads photos from your photo app when it is connected to wifi and the photo app has been closed correctly. That may be why your seeing photos pop up on different dates

Photos in bridge aren't showing as sharp.

Im trying to use bridge to sort through my images but when I review them in the preview mode they aren't crisp/sharp. I know for a fact they are, because when I view them in photoshop they are sharp. How can I fix this problem? (working with raw files).

I'm using ver. 3.4.5. After having a problem importing some photo's I now have all my library showing up in the one project. I'm worried about just deleting this project in total. Any help would be appreciated

After importing a small group of photo's I noticed that aperture didn't create a project for them as usual. The only place I could see them was in last imported. While last importwas open I selected the photo's and told aperture to creat a new project using the selected one's. I named the project with the date using all cap's so I would know which one it was. What I have now is my whole library showing up in this one project. If I import more pictures It does two things. A new project is created as it normally does. These new thumbnails also show up in the problem project. I tested to see what would happen if I deleted one old picture while the problem project was open. It went to the trash. It was also removed from its original project. If I ignore this what seems to happen when importing at this time is that a new project is created that you can open, it acts normal. The file only contains the correct amount pictures. If I then go to the problem project the thrumbnails show here also.
About 6 mos ago I switch to Aperture from iphoto. I never combined the two libraries. I have around twelve thousand photo's. December 1st I backed up my imac with Time Machine. I don't want to back up again until I get this problem in check.
Thanks for any help, Dale

Hi Andy,
I'm using Mac OSX 10.7.5
No the one with the caps seems to be working normally.This project with the caps now has four files. Originally I created it with about fifteen. I deleted eleven of them and edited the remaining four. The four files each have one version and its original. It wasn't until after I completed this work that I noticed the privious project when opened and scrolled had the entire library in it.
The test I did went like this. With the problem opened I deleted one file that I new existed prior to this problem. I than opened that project that I new it was from to see if it got deleted and found it gone and moved to trash. I think that tells me that if I delete all the files in the problem project I'll be in trouble. I also have inported to projects each with one file that I edited. They are working fine. I took a look in the problem project and this last
two imports show the thumdnails in it.
Currently on my Hard Drive I have 275 GB free space. My photo's take up 138 GB. As I said on Dec. 1st I backed up the system using time machine. So all of Dec. and part of Jan. inports won't be on it. I could work around the problem project and move those file to a safe place. I think it best not to back up the system with Time Machine until I'm confident the Aperture is runing properly. I'm happy that I control these system backups manually.
I'll need to find out how to copy the Aperture library to another place. I'm sure I can poke around and fined out the process.
Thanks Andy for the come back!

Photo in directory does not show up in album

Hi,
I'm new to PhtoShop and have a problem I can't fix.
I have copied a photo, using Explorer, into a directory from which an album has created.
When I do a general search for the photo by name, it appears but when I open the album it is not displayed.
The photo is not hidden but has no tags.
I tried "Find items in album", but without success.
I would appreciate any help in this matter,
S660117.

I just realized that I can drag and drop the photo on the album in question.
Once I did that, it appears as expected.

Some of my purchases aren't showing up in my Purchase History in the iTunes store, why is this happening?

Today, I decided to update my iPod touch via the iTunes store on the actual iPod itself. My iPod hasn't been updated via computer for over a year now because I'm afraid to lose all of my other songs, since my computer crashed a while back and I lost all of my songs. That's why I decided to update it with the purchases I previously made through the iTunes store, that way, it would just add those purchases instead of delete and replace all of the other songs. I know for a fact that my iPod doesn't have any of the new purchases I just made on it, but when I went into my Purchases in the iTunes Store, on both my iPod and computer, there were a lot of songs missing. I know that I purchased them and I purchased them using the same Apple ID because I only have one. The strange thing is, a few weeks ago, those songs showed up in my purchases and I was able to download them into my iTunes playlist on my computer via iCloud, but now that I want to put them on my iPod, a lot of my songs have gone missing. What could have happened?
Also, when I go into the iTunes Store and look up the songs that I know I've purchased, it says "Play" in the grey bar, but it doesn't show up for download?
For added information: These songs that are missing are in my iTunes library. I purchased a bunch of Sleeping With Sirens songs and Florida Georgia Line's whole album and those are all missing from my purchases in the store. It says I have one song purchased for Sleeping With Sirens in my purchases and it's a music video, but I know that I have more than just that.

Did you figure this out?
Quick glance at your file, 'Text8' Element animats in fine in Chrome. But from what I can gather, all your other elements 'Text7' down to 'Text' are empty?
Meaning therre is nothing in them. While they exist and you attempt to animate them, they are empty so there is nothing to 'see' beyond the text that exists i element 'Text8'.
The other elements needs to have text in them.
Hope this makes sense.

I am trying to add movies from my Panasonic lumix to I photo but they aren't showing up. If I try to import into Imovie they also don't show up on the sd card as importable movies. I am using I photo 9.2 on 10.6.8 and never had a problem before.

My camera can be set to record as motion JPEG or light AVCHD. It was set for AVCHD. Could that be affecting it? If so, can you think of any way I can load these. I am trying to add them to an IMovie I started from a different source.

I had this problem.
The answer is to close iphoto (you might have to force quit iphoto if it starts automatically when you connect the camera or insert the SD card) and open imovie.
Imovie then presents an import page which easily imports the video into imovie.
It is a real bad idea to "force Quit" iPhoto - if it has any update activity going on that you interrupt you can corrupt your library an close data or even photos - Force quit should ONLY be used in an emergency where there is no other alternative and you are positive that nothing is going on in iPhoto

Some photos copied between shared libraries lose date.

Tonight I copied some photos from my wife's shared iPhoto library on her MacBook Pro to my iPhoto library on my Mac Pro, about 400 photos, all taken since December 2008 (toddler + DSLR = lots of photos). I noticed the imported photos were sorting out of chronological order, and then I noticed that about 100 of the photos were dated 7:00:00 Dec 31, 2000. The dates in my wife's iPhoto library are all correct. I've attempted to re-copy some of the problem photos, but they keep coming through with the same bogus date.
The affected photos are from all throughout the three month period, with some taken at the same times unaffected. And I don't think my wife has edited more than a handful of these photos. As best I can tell, the problem affects the photos randomly.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I just tried the same thing with some old photos from a friends wedding that were on my laptop's iphoto and I want them on my iMac's photo. Sharing the lib from the laptop and dragging that album from laptop's iphoto to imacs iphoto lib I lose titles, keywords, originals, and some dates get scrambled.

Syching my iphone4 after updating to ios6 and now half my photos aren't showing up in my phone.

Did you restore from backup on iTunes or did you use iCloud?
Did you sync with iTunes? Is iTunes section for photos checked to sync all your photo locations?
Also, with photo streaming sometimes you need to switch from Album to photo stream to see some photos.
If your photos are on your computer still, they can be added back. if not and you depended solely on iCloud, then they may be gone.

HT201272 Some of my previous purchases aren't showing up on the iTunes store. It says "Purchased" but won't let me download them. Is there any way to fix this?

I've been making my iTunes music purchases on my iPhone for over a year now. I bought a new one so I relied on iCloud to keep my purchases on record. When downloading my songs, I saw that some of them were missing. When I logged into the iTunes store, it said that the albums (yes entire albums are missing) have been "PURCHASED", therefore I can't buy them again. And they don't have that iCloud icon on them to download them (since I have already purchased them). I checked my iTunes account on both my PC and my iPhone and still nothing. These aren't old purchases, but ones that I made a few months ago. Can anyone help me get my music back??

If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

Details please
What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -- and -- http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html ---
I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.
This would be better addressed in the iDVD forum - but again unlesss yu share detailed information no one can assist

Some photos not showing up in media selector

A little puzzle.......
I recently purchased an iPad with photo display in mind. The easiest way to get pictures from my iMac to the iPad is through iTunes. Works fine. I use a couple of smart albums to select only the highest ranked photos, and those albums I select in iTunes to sync.
But then I found out some photos are missing. Looking at the numbers in the iTunes album browser this became obvious. For instance, a smart gallery containg 45 items would show up in iTunes with only 27 items. This problem is not limited to iTunes, as the media selector in Pages shows the same number.
I first repaired the database and the permissions, to no avail. I then found out that changing the edited pictures in Aperture seemed to help. Now all my favorite pictures are .tiffs produced by NIK's plugins. Some of those I worked on a little in Aperture, f.i. cropping or altering the white balance somewhat. Those images are the ones missing in iTunes. I was able to add a missing picture to 'iTunes' by removing the adjustments (which off course I do not want to do).
Unfortunately, this rule has an exception (like any rule in life, expect in computing) with a smart gallery full of cropped NIK files. So I am still a little lost as to exactly where the problem lies. Anyone have similar experiences?

One thing you may want to check:
iTunes can only sync images that have previews. Do your NIK-edited images have previews? If not, you may want force the creation of new previews for these images. Select the image versions in question and ctrl-click, hold down the ⌥-key, and select "Generate Preview(s).
Then relaunch iTunes and try to sync again.
Regards
Léonie
