Some photos not appearing anywhere in iPhoto '11 (but present in iPhoto package contents)

Hi,
I was browsing images in iPhoto recently, but I couldn't find photos that were previously in the library. I have looked in to the package contents, and the files actually appear to be present, but no trace in iPhoto (not in albums where the photos were used or various places in the library). I've tried the search function too, but it's not finding the image either. I'm using a brand new MBP and hence the latest iPhoto also.
The iPhoto library was imported using my Time Capsule from an iMac where iPhoto kept crashing... so it's possible there were issues with the underlying database.
Any ideas what could be causing this and how to resolve would be much appreaciated.

Hi Terence,
On the 3rd attempt and 1.5 days, iPhoto Library Manager rebuilt the library (first time crashed after a few minutes, second time 2/3rds of the way through).
When the process finished, there was a message from iPhoto Library Manager saying it couldn't copy an image over and that there were some errors (I saved the log file if that helps).
I've just opened it up, and unfortunately I appear to still be missing images (the photo library is 29,692 vs. previously 29,692). When I do 'Get Info' on the folder within the iPhoto database package (i.e. the Masters folder), it shows around 33,000 files - I assume that these are all image files, so it would seem I'm missing about 3,300 images when I open iPhoto?
Is there any additional steps that I can take? Or given that I made a copy of the Masters folder elsewhere, should I perhaps just try importing these? I assume that iPhoto will use the existing folder structure to mark events, etc... I can live without the album info (I hadn't tagged photos or anything else).
Thanks.

  • Why do some photos not appear in the book I am creating?

    I am composing two books at the moment and will want to order them shortly.
    The problem I have is that, sometimes the photos do not appear when you drag them into the book - it just shows an exclamation mark. However if you look at the layout in the top section, it appears.
    The photos not showing are either very high-res digital pictures from a professional photographer or scanned photos, but the scanned ones are of similar (OK) quality and identical resolution to others which are visible.
    I am worried what will happen when I go to order the book - will these pictures not upload?
    Does anyone know why this is happening or a fix?

    sometimes the photos do not appear when you drag them into the book - it just shows an exclamation mark.
    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
    Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Some photos not being 'seen' by iphoto

    I am having a difficult time syncing all of my photos. Some of my photos are recognized, some are not. There is a blank square where the photo would be. I have not been able to identify any rhyme or reason of which photos work and which do not. Possible the photos that I have saved from emails/texts.
    Any ideas how I can get iphoto to recognize all if them?

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem with my 16g iPhone 3GS (4.0.1 (8A306).
    Every photo taken until 26th July downloaded perfectly but pictures taken on 7th August are not accepted. iPhoto says it is down loading and then lists the shots and gives the message" The following files could not be imported(they may be an unrecognized file type or may not contain valid data)"
    However they were easily accepted by a friend's MacBook running the same OSX 10.5.8. this morning.
    Any more ideas?

  • Some photos not displaying keywords in iPhoto

    For some reason some of my images don't display the keywords assigned to them in iPhoto 08. As a new Mac user I am in the process of migrating my substantial image gallery from my Windows machine. Over the last few years I have spent considerable time tagging my photos in Lightroom and Expressions Media. These keywords are recognized by all other applications and also when getting the file's properties from the Finder.
    The strange part is that within a particular batch of pictures (all of which had the keywords applied in the same way...I think) some images have keywords in iPhoto, but some don't.
    Your help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Juan Sosa

    Steve!
    There is a lot more "meat" in this .
    I purchased all out of Denmark. My HD crashed and I reload it all. While doing this I had to install new iTunes, - this is the newest version 10.xx. The old version was probbaly 9.xx (cant remember). So the library files are from an old version, - but it does not look like creating a problem. I am now in Sweden, so iTunes was installed in Sweden, and I try to re-download my missing songs while being here in Sweden. However, - I belive I am connected to iTunes store in Denmark. ... (it takes 2 smileys for this, - if you get as far as to here and still have an overview.)

    Is your QuickTime up to date?
    Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

  • Album listed as purchased in iTunes store, not appearing anywhere else.

    About a year ago I purchased the album "Is This It" by The Strokes. I just recently purchased a new iPod Touch 64GB, and when downloading music to it, I realized that the ablum was not showing up in my library anywhere. It also doesn't apper in my library on iTunes on my desktop PC. However, when I check the iTunes store, it is listed as purchased. It doesn't even appear in the Purchased section of the iTunes store. I've noticed this with other albums as well, and single songs just not appearing anywhere in my libraries. What can I do?

    Where exactly are you looking for it ? It won't show in your iTunes library unless you download it.
    You should be able to download it into your library by ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences - it should then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for downloading (downloading the booklet for it this way may not work, you may get a 'corrupt file' message when trying to open it, I was over the first couple of days when trying it).
    Or go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and you should be able to download it from there.
    A third option is to sign out of your account (Store > Sign Out menu option), find the album in the store and then click on its free 'price' button - you should then be prompted to sign back in and the album should download.

  • Some Photos Not Syncing to iPad 1, but issue is not the photos.

    Some Photos Not Syncing:  When syncing iPad1 64gb IOS 5.0.1 w/HP desktop, some but not all jpgs sync from a folder.  (There is ample free space on the iPad.)  The issue is not the photo files as I have verified that the jpg's are all compatible both through Adobe CS5 and by successfully getting the photos to sync to the iPad by making a copy of them and placing this duplicitous copy in a 2nd temporary folder, which then sync's all the jpg's to the iPad just fine.  Still, it makes no sense why they won't all sync from the main photo folder. 
    [Folder structure is:  Sync My Photos Folder; Subfolder 1 syncs all; Subfolder 2 syncs some; Subfolder 3 syncs all.  But if I add a new Temp Subfolder 2a and copy non-syncing photos in it, then I am able to sync all teh photos.]
    This is a very inconvenient situation, and it wastes space on my desktop harddrive as I have to have all the photos in the main folder--not the temp folder--to which they ar assinged.  Has anyone else encountered this, and is there an explanation or solution for this issue?
    Thanks.

  • Why do some pages not appear on screen?

    My wife is using the latest version of Keynote. Apparently some pages of text are not appearing on screen when she gives presentations in schools. This has happened across several projectors but the presentation runs fine on the computer! I have met problems like this with video codecs but never just basic pages of text. I presume that things like fonts are irrelevant in this context?

    Thanks for this. My wife can't remember which version she used to create the presentation. She still has both versions on board but this sometimes creates issues when she is in a classroom. I had suggested that the newer version was now maturing but it sounds like she will still need to keep both versions installed. I wonder if content could be copied and pasted into the newer version to overcome this problem? Once again thanks for your help.

  • I downloaded some books that appeared to be in English but they aren't, how can I get my money back?

    I downloaded some books that appeared to be in English but they aren't, how to I get my money back?

    Are they described in the store as being in English ? If they are then you could try deleting them from the bookshelf in the iBooks app and redownload them via the Purchased link in the ibookstore in the app : re-downloading.
    If they re-download in the wrong language again then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find the books and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24  hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
