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

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 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 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.

  • Photos not displaying at all in iPhoto library

    I can't get my photos to display in my iphoto library even though they are accessible for editing. The help topics didn't solve the problem. What can I do? I recently imported them from my macbook, but this iMac is new, so I'm a novice.

  • Importing Paint Shop Photo Album 4 keywords into iPhoto

    I have many years worth of digital photos organized in folders and marked with Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album 4 keywords. Is there any way to import not just the photos, but the keywords into iPhoto?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unless there's some way to get JPS to write the keywords into the files I don't know of any way to do what you want. An Applescript might be able to read the JPS dB file and write the keyword to the appropriate IPTC field in the file. But that's beyond my capability.
    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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Major Problem - some pages not displaying correctly

    All,
    I have a problem with some pages not displaying correctly i.e.
    SE80 navigation page
    F1 help
    I am using XP sp2 and we have the latest version of internet explorer 7 (which I cannot uninstall as it is company policy)
    SAP version is 6.4c.
    I am using SAP Gui 7.10 with the latest patch 710_7.
    This is making the system completely unusable for me.
    I have read a few forum posts mentioning that upgrading to the latest patch version will resolve this problem, but this clearly has not worked for me.
    Can someone please help,  how do I actually esculate this to SAP?

    thanks

    what kind of useless answer was that?  If you have no constructive comments to add please refrain.
    I am a SAP developer in ABAP and its related to SE80 which I used to use primarily for editing code (i now have to use se38).
    I often use F1 for hints on code etc to use and syntax so it does make it very difficult for me.  If there is a more appropriate forum for this please direct me, instead of posting in gibberish english.
    Max - I assume you have the same problem and it is also not resolved by the latest patch.  I wonder is there a way this can be esculated with SAP?

  • 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.

  • When I press - button, the photo Not Displayed!

    Hi, when i stay on one photo and press the " - " button and i going to the next photo, the previous photo NOT DISPLAYED!
    When i displayed all photo in the album?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums!
    The "-" button removes any star rating applied to the image and, to my surprise, will also change the rating to rejected! (x) The reason your image is disappearing is that by using the minus key you are rejecting the image. Use the 1-5 keys for stars, the 9 key to reject an image.
    To see all of your rejected images select rejected images in your search window.

  • Aperture has stopped showing some, but not all, keywords on photos

    I imported some new photos today and noticed that Aperture seems to have stopped displaying some, but not all, of my keywords. I'm noticing this on a large number of my existing photos.
    For example, I've selected a photo and the Keywords tab of the Metadata pane lists: Amanda, iPhoto Original, Judy, and Zoo. That appears to be correct. However, the Keywords field in the top of the Metadata pane only shows iPhoto Original, and the only keyword displayed in the grid view is iPhoto Original.
    Switching to a different metadata display does not help, nor does rebuilding the library. Reassigning the keywords seems to help, but that's not really an option for > 7,000 photos.
    Anyone know why this is happening? Can I fix this?

    PowerMac Dual G5 2.0   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Aperture 1.1.2

    After poking around with BBEdit in my Aperture library, I think I see the problem. I chose a photo that Aperture won't display all the keywords and re-added them. I then compared all the files in the library for that photo with the same files in a backup library I had set aside.
    It appears that at some point Aperture got the IPTC keywords out of sync with the actual keywords on the photos. Looking at the Version-1.apversion file (which is actually a .plist file), I can see that both copies have the same keywords on them (called tags in the plist), but the IPTCProperties.keywords summary does not reflect all the tags actually on the photo. Aperture appears to just display the keywords stored in the IPTC keyword summary instead of checking to see what keywords the photo actually has.
    So, the keywords are still there, but the summary that Aperture displays is wrong and a library rebuild doesn't appear to rebuild the keyword summary.
    My options at this point appear to be either re-apply all my keywords or write a tool to fix it for me (I guess being a developer has it's perks). I'll definitely be filing a bug on this...

  • Some, but not all, albums not displayed after Yosemite/iPhoto 9.6 upgrade

    After upgrading to Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6, photos from  some, but not all, albums are missing. All albums from the previous version are listed in the Library, but 12 of 15 are showing "(0)" with no contents.
    Is recovery possible?
    iMac 21.5in (late 2009), OS X 10.10.2
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB Ram
    OS X 10.10.2
    iPhoto 9.6 (910.29)

    Your best solution is to restore a backup copy of the library made just prior to the Yosemite and iPhoto upgrades.
    Otherwise try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • IPhoto Thumbnails and Photos Not Displaying After Restore

    Hi,
    I recently reset my iMac to overcome an indexing problem.  I backed up my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and once the Mac was rebuilt I copied the iPhoto file back across from the backup to the iMac.
    When I ran iPhoto and selected the iPhoto library to use, I get the Events thumbnails grid but there is no content other than the name of the event.
    If I click on an Event I then get:
    Clicking on a photo gives me:
    I tried copying and importing the iPhoto file again, but the same thing happens.
    I can see by inspecting the Media folder under the Import to Library option that all the photos are there.
    I've tried rebuilding and repairing the iPhoto database by holding down Option/CMD when opening iPhoto and selecting options 3, 4, 1 and 2 in that order but still hasn't helped.
    Anyone know why they're not displaying?
    Thankfully, when I backed up the iPhoto library I also "exported" all the photos as individuals to my Cloud storage, so I also have another backup - but I'd rather not use this second backup if possible as I want to keep my Events as per the main backup.
    I also have a 3rd backup (yes, I'm paranoid about my photos!) on Time Machine (didn't use that for the restore as I was told it would re-introduce the indexing errors).
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm guessing this is as it should be?
    That looks good, your original image files are still in the iPhoto Library but need reconnecting.
    I've tried rebuilding and repairing the iPhoto database by holding down Option/CMD when opening iPhoto and selecting options 3, 4, 1 and 2 in that order but still hasn't helped.
    Then try the last resort and rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager.  You can download it here, the free trial will suffice for this:  Fat Cat Software – iPhoto Library Manager

  • Why are my new iPhone 4S photos not displayed in iPhoto?

  • Iphone photos not showing up on iphoto

    Hello,
    Camera roll is about 4.4GB, and I want to save my pics to the mac pro.
    Problem:
    First, I connect usb to mac book pro and :
    1. Iphoto shows iphone 5 yet displays 'loading' message. No photos are uploaded.
    2. Image capture also shows iphone 5, yet no files are displayed.
    Second, icloud seems to have uploaded some of the recent pictures so I have them saved. Yet the old ones are still in my iphone.
    Does anyone have similar issues? would appreciate some input.
    Thank you,
    Will

    Same problem. 
    After USB is connected, iPhoto shows iPhone name with "(0)" photos. 
    Same whether iPhoto is open or closed before USB is connected.
    Same whether iPhone is on or off when USB is connected.
    Rebooting iPhone did not help.
    Relaunching iPhoto did not help.
    Rebooting Mac did not help.
