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 being synced from Mac to iPhone

Some of my photos are not being synchronised to my iPhone. This includes certain photos within some iPhoto albums and some entire albums. I have tried to see if there are any problems with the photos which have not been synchronised, but they seem to be fine. No unusual characters in titles and no corrupted images, they seem just the same as the photos which are being synchronised. Anything I should try before getting in touch with Apple support? I've tried creating new albums to synchronise, deleting photos them reimporting them to iPhoto and even re-setting my iPhone, but exactly the same problem with exactly the same photos.
iPhone is running latest firmware (1.1.2), using latest version of iPhoto and iTunes, synchronising with my Mac Pro running 10.5.1

One thing to try.
Export the photo, from iphoto, that will not sync to the iphone.
Make sure the file name has an extension. (something like .jpg or .bmp)
Import the photo back into iphoto.
Now try syncing the photo to the iphone.
Hope this helps.

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.

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

Why can I not load pictures from a micro SD 64gb using scan disk adapter plugged into an Apple iPad camera connection kit. I have the iPhoto app but pictures not being seen on iPad. So incredibly frustrating. Apple please fix this.

Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think. I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point. Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before I take it back the better I think.

How do I get iphoto to import videos from my iphone 3s? It only imports photos, not videos. My iPhoto is v. 4.0.3.

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

I've used an external drive for time machine which has important files on it. After trying to back up my computer, it suddenly needed to be "repaired" by utilities. Now it's not being "seen" at all! How do I recover my important files off the drive?

LaCie d2 500GB Quadra Hard Drive Not Being Seen By Time Machine

Hello all,
I have a LaCie d2 500GB Quadra Hard Drive Not being seen by Time Machine hooked up to my iMac via firewire 800. My iMac is running latest updates etc. Have raised a support ticket and was given the following instructions by LaCie:
Posted: 08 November 2007 @ 00:00
Thank you for contacting LaCie Technical Support. Make sure the drive is mounting and you can assess files on it on your 10.5 system. If you can then you will need to reformat the drive to make it compatible with time machine.
Warning! All data on the external drive will be destroyed in this process.
Step 1: Run Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Step 2: Click on the LaCie hard drive's 'physical' entry, usually the third entry in the list
Step 3: Click on the Partition tab
Step 4: Change 'Current Scheme' to '1 Partition'
Step 5: Change the name of the drive back to what you would like it to be
Step 6: The format needs to be Mac OS Extended, with or without journaling
Step 7: Click on the Options... button
Use "Apple Partition Map" partition scheme on a PowerPC-based Mac.
Use "GUID" partition scheme on an Intel-based Mac.
Step 8: Click on OK
Step 9: Click on Apply
Step 10: click on Erase at the bottom of the screen, then confirm the erase.
The drive should start to be reformatted which should take only a few seconds and show up on the desktop with a new icon. Once it has you can then use it with time machine.
I have done all of the above and it is still not being seen. Anyone had a similar issue or got the above to actually work?
Thanks in advance!!!!

Ryan,
Check drive volume name and also the Computer name. Apple released a tech note recommending that both be limited to only the characters A-Za-z0-9 (no dashes, hyphens, or other special characters.
If you can, send the Apple System Profiler report to me at the addres in my profile. Imay be able to see something there. I have helped another user with similar problems, but with a LaCie USB drive. He got things working by repeating the recommended steps, and double checking everything.
As others have rported, this should work, so there may be something else preventing proper operation.
If the drive is usable from Finder, but Time Machine cannot use it, there is something related in how Time Machine is viewing the drive.

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.

DVD 1270 not being seen in xp to install at start up windows 7

DVD 1270 not being seen at startup in xp to install windows 7. Boot order works - the machine sees a cd but not a dvd. Installed latest driver for lightscribe from this site. Also tried two other dvds - one a hp 1160 which works on another machine it sees the dvd on other machine running w7 but not on this new one - ASUS mthrbd P867-M Le. ASUS says it is the DVD and to try another. Seems like it may be a config issue. Any ideas? Thanks

Well, if the drive is good, then try a different SATA port. It might be that the OS is looking for the drive per the BIOS and it is not on the SATA 0 port. BTW: Does this motherboard have 6GB SATA ports? Do not use them for DVD drive.

ICloud photos not showing in my iPhoto library

I'm really having trouble understanding the relationship among iPhoto, iCloud, and Photo Streams. I want to have all my photos show up in my iPhoto library. They always did. However, a few weeks ago (while traveling and adding a lot of photos), I began to not see all my photos in my library. In fact, when I look at "Events" there are greyed out boxes that have the date photos were taken, it indicates that there are 0 photos, and there is a shades-of-grey icon that has a palm tree and horizon. I had never seen this before. Some of my photos from my travel ended up in my library just fine. Others are in limbo. I found the others in My Photo Stream, but I can't figure out how to add them to the library, where they belong.
When I show Package Contents from Home>Pictures>iPhoto Library, all the pictures are there. They are just not showing up in iPhoto. I have quit and restarted iPhoto. Do you think my iPhoto app is corrupt?
Any suggestions would be welcome. This is vexing...

Hold down Command and Option, and launch iPhoto. A Photo Library First Aid window will appear. In this window you’ll see a number of repair options. Start with Rebuild Thumbnails and give it a try. Check iPhoto after you’ve done this to see how it behaves. If it’s not showing all your photos, give the next option in the Rebuild window a try. Rinse and repeat until iPhoto is working properly.
Make sure you have a backup of your Library as a precaution.
