" the volume for (file name) cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again."
I get an error message in iPhoto when I click on thumbnails of pictures in certain albums. It reads 'the volume for "(file name)" cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.' What does this mean and how do I fix it?
It means that you imported the files in Referenced mode and have now remvoed them from the Mac. Put the disk or card back.

Ver.9.5 The volume for file name cannot be found
HI,
My work Mac Book pro was recently upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8, with iPhoto 11 (ver. 9.5) also an included upgrade. One album of photos is no longer accesible - clicking on each thumbnail provokes the following window "The volume for <file name> cannot be found. The "Try again" option doesn't work, and the alternative, which is to use the finder to locate the file is useless, as the files are buried in a library spare bundle. When I copy the file name, and search on the volume with the library via finder, it pulls up tiny thumbnail size files.
I have a primary iphoto library on a dedicated USB external drive, which I back up not everytime I update the library (200 gbs spare bundle over USB2!), but regularly. I fear these recently imported files, have not been backed up before up erasing cards, and upgrading system OS, have gone.
Is there any way of getting into the library via finder, or elsewhere in iphoto to refind the original master files which are in there somewhere? These files opened perfectly in iphoto before the recent upgrade.Thanks for the fast response. I've followed your directions and can't find the file in there, in Masters, Originals, or Modified folders. I found files in Thumbnails folder though. Some of the files from the same event are fine, so its not consistent. I'm also noticing that another file in the event has a totally blurred preview (Its a 24mbs Jpg from a Nikon D800) - not sure if this is at all connected.
The positive news is that my NeoFinder database of drives indicates I should have the 'missing' files on another computer in the office, but I'm still scratching my head on this. -
Error Message: "The volume for (photo file name) cannot be found"
I'm sorry but I've reviewed all the topics on this issue in Communities and quite frankly what I see to reslove this is way over my head. Forgive me if I am not as computer savvy as all of you, but we need someone to post a resolution to this in a step-by-step manner that puts it in the simpliest of terms. Doesn't anybody realize that there are new Apple users coming online all the time? How can all of us know all the tricks to this unless it is kept as basic as possible?
When I download photos from a flash drive, camera disc, or CD where the sources of my photos originate from, I try to import them into Iphoto because it's easier to see them there by toggling from photo to photo. I set up files for the photos first on the desktop or into the Pictures folder, then import them into Iphoto. I can do that on a PC and Microsoft does it flawlessly with their photo software with no additional steps. But on the Apple I get all these "volume" issues and error messages that quite frankly don't make any sense. I'm sorry but I'm about to toss my Apple computer in the trash. Why don't they make this stuff effortless?
In the error message, somebody please explain what it means to ".....wait for it to appear on the desktop then try again?" What in the **** does that mean?
My photos are loaded onto the computer. Yet even at that, many of them cant be seen in Iphoto after I dropped them into it. If foto files are on the computer on it's own hard drive, why can't Iphoto find them? This is very frustrating guys. Do I have to go through each photo individually and find them for Iphoto? It will take me years to do that.......
Help.Guess what? The folks responding to you here are all just users like you, we don't work for Apple, so, you know, your pain is of little interest.
This has been the cause of your problems:
I checked in Iphoto preferences and the box to automatically import photos to Iphoto was unchecked.
What that means is you have connected your camera and iPhoto has imported references to your photos - links, in other words. It did not copy your files into the Library.
Then you took away the camera.
Now iPhoto is looking for the pictures.
You'll need to import the images again - but if you do you'll have masses of duplicates. So, trash the existing library, create a new one and start over.

I just installed iTunes 10.5 (latest version as of 11 Jan 2012), onto a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I loaded my music library into it, it compiled the list and separated them by album. But even though I'd assigned most of the albums artwork through my Zune management software (a Microsoft product), almost none of them populated into iTunes. So I went through and started asking the software to try to find album artwork where possible.
I did this a few times album by album, then I decided to select multiple albums and see what happened. No problems. Then I selected all of the albums I had--about 600 in all--and asked it to get artwork. It seemed to process for a bit, then came back with the error, "Artwork for [album name] could not be located. You do not have permission to access the requested resource." I tried this on several individual albums, only to receive that same error.
The very first time I did it, I was told I needed an account with the iTunes store to make it work, so I signed in using an old Apple ID (the account had been inactive for so long it had been locked for security, I unlocked it and that seemed to be that). Then I did what I described above.
The weird thing--to me--is that I can still add artwork to the albums manually if I want to, from imagery stored locally on my own computer. The only thing it seems to have a problem with is when I ask it to go find artwork from the iTunes store.
Do I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it? Did something go wrong with the process of authorizing the computer to work with the iTunes store? Do I need to de-authorize and then re-authorize the computer? Could this be something related to Windows permissions on the iTunes library?Right on about how to reset the warnings, it was exactly that.
I went through the steps to let iTunes through Windows Firewall, but still get the same problem when I access the iTunes store (and even though I followed the steps in the help file to the letter, I notice it still says iTunes is NOT enabled for it). And now, thanks to the re-enabled warnings, when I try to get it to download artwork for single albums, this is what I get:
"Artwork for [album name] could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

It indicates the file for the photo is missing, which may be related to the fact I had to restore my computer recently but I can't get rid of the warning, by the options, cancel, ok, or find photo. I don't know where they have gone, or where to search, other than Finder, which does not list them. They are not that important to me but Ido not know which photos the warnings are about, if I did I could go into the event and delete them.
This happens
1. when you run a Referenced Library - where the files are not copied to the iPhoto Library on import - that means you chose to do the File Management.
2. The files are stoed on another disk (or volume)
3. iPhoto can't find that disk (or volume)
So, the solution is to plug in the disk so that iPhoto can access it.
If you don't have the disk, or the photos concerned, then you have a corrupted Library.
How to proceed from there depends on the actual version of iPhoto you use.
BTW you do know exactly what photos are missing - the message tells you. But I think you'll find that iPhoto needs the file in order to delete it.

do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library (you have choosen to uncheck that option and manage tthe original photos yourself - strongly not recommended)

Using Pages on my iPad, I save to iTunes to share it with my iMac. After download I cannot find the documents in my iMac. Not in Pages, not in iTunes, so where do they go?
Until Apple updates the desktop versions of the iWork apps you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or iTunes to sync files. You could also try e-mail or DropBox.

Error Message::: The volume for "CIMG0010.JPG" cannot be found.
When I import to iphoto, I get this message:
The volume for “CIMG0010.JPG” cannot be found.
Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.
I have to press Cancel each time to resume importing.
Anyone have same problem?
Thx for your help.
Happy Holidays!
Ms. MiniMacI too had this problem but found a very simple solution*. No rebuild needed.
For anyone else who runs into this problem here is what happened to me, and what I did about it (for reference):
I checked to make sure all software was updated, I tried different memory cards, I tried reformatting cards and used a card reader and tried straight from my camera (Canon 40D). I was downloading over 250 photos and after sitting there hitting 'Cancel' on each photo TWICE my photos finally loaded... or so I thought. When I went to open them, only the thumbnails were there! Argh!
Thankfully I didn't delete the memory card, and this time I tried downloading to a new folder on the Desktop and then importing to iPhoto. I got the same error. I tried locating each photo with the 'Find Photo' button and this opened the correct folder and after I scrolled down it had even highlighted the correct file. Unfortunately this did not work.
I tried a photo at the beginning, middle and end of the shoot to see if the memory card was somehow corrupt. Same problem with each. Eventually I did load my photos but again, only after I hit cancel for each one of the 250 photos. Interesting that after I hit 'cancel' it would download the photo.
The 'duplicate image' window came up for the 3 images I had randomly selected earlier, so I didn't think it could have been a naming problem. After all, I have been using the same camera for a while with sequential numbering enabled.
After reading Terence's reply (thank you) I was even more flustered that I would have to rebuild a database that I thought I was careful creating and backing up. Backing up... That was it!
I have over 40 gigs of photos on a USB drive from before I owned my Mac. I choose to use iPhoto to catalog the files but did not want to load them all on to my laptop and clog up useful memory.
It occurred to me that as Terence had suggested iPhoto may be trying to double check the new images against old ones, but the old ones can't be found. Even though the files were on completely different drives.
After simply plugging in my USB drive the photos downloaded to my MacBook immediately. Just to be clear, the photos were not using the same names as old ones nor were they being written to the USB drive; but iPhoto needed to have that USB drive plugged in to download photos to the laptop hard drive.
This is an easy fix, and avoids database rebuilding, but I am worried about when I go traveling etc. and need to download photos without my USB drive handy... -
Error message "The Volume for "IMG_5727.JPG Cannot be found.

It has been happening for months but I am editing/moving
wedding pictures(900 plus) right now and it is impossible to work around this. They are new images that were just down loaded from the card reader.
I can see the pictures right in the library
Help!
KathyYou say you are "editing/moving" pictures from a wedding.
Depending on what you mean by that, it could be creating the problem you're having.
Are you physically "moving" your pictures within the finder, or do you just mean dragging and dropping within iPhoto?
Usually, the way iPhoto works is you upload them into iPhoto from a card or some sort of volume.
A new file is created in the iPhoto library.
That file never leaves the library as it is now the actual link to iPhoto.
However, if you physically move that file from the library, you will break the link and have lots of problems.
You can't move files from the iPhoto library.
However, if you're not physically moving photos from the library (manually, via the finder), and if you are uploading into iPhoto, and iPhoto shows you a thumbnail and when you click on it, it gives you that message, then there might be something wrong with the volume iPhoto thinks it's uploading pictures to from your card/source volume.
I would reestablish a new volume to save to and see if it's still having the same problems. Make sure you backup the original library though. -
The volume for "IMG_2333.JPG" cannot be found.
I imported a lot of photos from different CDs (all from different digital cameras) into iPhoto 09. When I try to place them into the softcover book template, I get recurring error messages that say 'The volume for “IMG_2333.JPG” (or whatever the image is called) cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.' is there a solution rather than constantly reinserting the CDs?
Darwinboy wrote:
Under Preferences, the Importing 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library' is unchecked.
That's the problem. When it is UN-checked, the iPhoto simply stores the location where the photo came from and accesses it from there. In your specific case, it wants to access them directly off the CDs.
Delete them from your library, turn that check box ON, then reimport those CDs to your library.

I am locked up in slideshows in IPhoto, a message comes up "the volume for "some picture" cannot be found, Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the destop, then try again." you can hit find photo, cancel (which it will not let you) or OK which does nothing, I want to delete this slideshow, or at the very least get out of slideshows, how can I do that?
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you try to view the the photos in the slideshow in full size?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

The AirPlay device "Apple TV" cannot be found on your network.
"The AirPlay device “Apple TV” cannot be found on your network. Please verify your network settings and AirPlay configuration or select another device."
I have been struggling to play radio from my iTunes to my Apple TV for more than 1-2 minutes at a time over the last two hours. I've updated both the Apple TV and iTunes to the latest software. I've also 'restarted' Apple TV from the General menu. I've unplugged and replugged the Apple TV several times, and I've also rebooted my MBP several times. Sometimes, after resetting Apple TV, I'm able to play radio from my iTunes, but then it stops working a few minutes later. I'm able to play the radio on my iTunes, but when I try to connect to Apple TV, I get the above error message again, even though the signal strength of the wifi is at full strength, according to Apple TV Settings.
I have a MBP 10.6.8 and a 3rd generation Apple TV. I am feeling very frustrated. What should I do? I feel like I've done everything?By the way, I've reboot the Apple TV, had music play for 1 minute, and then Apple TV stop working on me at least one dozen times today.
I've also had to Force Quit iTunes (which appears unresponsive) after Apple TV stops playing the music being sent from iTunes.
I get the above error message whenever I don't reboot Apple TV...but then when I do reboot it, it stops working 2 minutes later....
F%&$* THIS!! This is making me never want to invest in Apple products again. -
"The volume for DSC_0001.jpg cannot be found"?
I'm a bit of a novice with macs but a new problem has occurred while importing photos from my Nikon D70s to iphoto. With the majority of images, it comes up with the caution "The volume for DSC_0001.jpg cannot be found" or whichever DSC image. If I press 'cancel' it imports the photo and I can view and edit it. If I press 'OK' or 'find photo' nothing useful seems to happen.
I have tried updating iphoto but I again get an alert saying "An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications."
Any help with both these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.This sometimes occurs if you’re importing a file into iPhoto and there’s already a file there with the same name. Digital cameras can produce many, many files with the same name over their lifetime, so it’s not uncommon to have several files called IMG_00543.JPG, for instance. Now you want to import one also called this.
What happens is that iPhoto compares the two files to check for duplicates. However, if iPhoto cannot find the file already in the database for comparison, then you get this message. It suggests that your database is damaged because iPhoto has lost track of this (or these) similarly named files.
A simple test is to rename the file you are importing - just add a character - IMG_00543a.JPG for instance. If this then imports with no issue then you might consider rebuilding your library:
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. -
iPhoto frustrating error..The volume for "Df23.JPG" cannot be found. It prompts for all photos with this issue rather than offering an option to ignore. I can find the images in spotlight but not in Find Photo. Does anyone have a solution?
Unless you have the source files that were on the TC or Windows machine you will have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your original library will remain intact for further attempts at fixes is so desired.
