Thumbnails acting up, wrong photo and partials

I'm having a problem. Last night I plugged my iPod nano for the first time and imported one photo album to it via iTunes.
Today, I went in to open the iPhoto and it misplaced the thumbnails. When the thumbnail is double clicked it displays another picture, not the one on the thumbnail. It looks like the thumbnails just lost their chronological order, but the pictures under the wrong thumbnails still appear to be in order.
I tried Shift-option when starting iPhoto but that does not change anything. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
How to fix this? Thanks

I just ordered a Nano and expect to get it my next Wed so I'm interested in your plight. Make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder first thing. Then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options, the two thumbnail and database options. See if that won't clean up the situation.
Do you know what size image files get copied over to the Nano? Are the the full size or do they get reduced. If they are the full size then I'm going to look into exporting to a folder on the desktop, resizing and us iTunes to manually select that folder for uploading. Since I only want to display them on the Nano the size won't matter to me. That should give me more song room.
I'll be anxious to hear how it went.

  • Does anyone elses iphoto thumbnails show the wrong photos in album ?

    This is a relatively new problem i am having.... when i open an album and the zoom is over c.20% or you change the zoom the thumbnails show the wrong photo. when you open to edit, the correct photo opens. This is veeeerrrry annoying. can anyone shed any light on this ?

    Hi slipstream1,
    I don't know why that started happening for you.
    Try this:
    Close iPhoto
    Navigate to where you have the iPhoto Library on your hard drive
    Drag the three thumbnail files found loose in the root of the Library folder to the desktop
    Hold down the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto until you get the rebuild window
    Choose the options to rebuild the thumbnails
    Hopefully this will fix it for you.

  • HELP!!!! Up-To-Date updated wrong photo and now i cant change it?

    When i sent my request away i just notice i did upload the right photo and now when i go to do a new claim it keeps saying a claim has already been made, what do i do?

    I know mine was the same. I'm guessing if you buy the Mac either online or in an offcial retail store then its all on their systems so all they need is the serial and buy date. If you buy from a reseller such as Currys then I'm guessing you need to provide a copy for them...

  • Thumbnail shows wrong photo

    Hi, there!
    I have 5000 pix in my iPhoto 4 library and have been having trouble with the thumbnails showing the wrong photo. I noticed this first when a thumbnail was very horizontally compressed. . .and when double clicking onto it (to go from "organize" to "edit") it showed a different photo. The title is right and the photo is correct in edit mode, the thumbnail is just wrong. I think maybe a third of my library is currently affected.
    I saw that someone posted a similar question a few months ago, and the only answer suggested was to select all the wrong photos and "revert to original" in the photos menu. I can't do this, b/c that option is grayed.
    What I've been doing to correct the problem is dragging the photo to my desktop, then when I re-import it, it comes in with the correct thumbnail. (then, I delete the one with the wrong thumbnail.) A tedious way to do it, plus I'm losing some of my info, like the date the photo was shot.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Start iPhoto while holding the optioncommandshift keys until you're prompted about rebuilding the iPhoto library database. Click "yes", then the blue button. Go have a pizza while your library is rebuilt.

  • Thumbnails are often the wrong orientation and distorted. What is causing this?

    Thumbnails are often the wrong orientation and distorted. When I select in viewer they are normal again.

    As if only the corrected layer would have remained on the photos.
    So the geometry of the pictures is correct - they are not skewed or something? Only the colors and intensities are wrong?
    . Only in printing when it is converted to PDF file some photos are unrecognizable.
    Is it the printed pdf or the pdf viewed on the screen? If it is the printed copy you need to fix your print settings.
    Does Aperture give a warning, that the high resolution images are not available?
    We had some cases of books not being able to be printed, and that was due to a broken reference to the original files. Only the book could not access the originals, all other parts of Aperture could. To check for this, try to add one more adjustment to one of the images in question. Is it possible? Are the edits reflected correctly in the pdf of the book?
    We were shooting with 3 cameras, Lumix5 shooting RAW, Cannon 100 shooting JPEG and SONY alfa850 shooting RAW.
    Have you tried to reprocess the raw of the edited images? (Photos > Reprocess Raw)
    Also try, to remove one of the images from the book and to add it again. That usually helps, if Aperture has lost the connection to the originals used in the book.
    If you no have done so already, repair (and if necessary rebuild) the Aperture library.

  • Cloud backup restored photos and documnets to the wrong folder and all in one folder

    I used the cloud backup to backup and restore my photos and documents because I was told to fix my problem I would have to do a hard reset. When I restored the photos and documents they were all restored to the wrong place and all in one folder. Please help. Is there any way to fix this or is their cloud backup program just stupid and I am screwed?

    Kallyone,
    Let's get to the bottom of this and get your pictures and documents backed up correctly. What phone do you have? Did you restore every all at once? Try removing the files and doing the restore again. Did you do the restore from the phone or desktop app?

  • HELP!! I had two libraries in iPhoto, Photos imported the wrong one, and now I have lost 10,000  photos. How can I get them back??

    I originally had two libraries in iPhoto, my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why. Anyway, I updated to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3 with the new 'photos' app. It asked me to choose one of the libraries and evidently I assume I must have chosen the wrong one. It only imported 322 random photos, not the 10,000+ we had in iPhoto. I can no longer find these photos or the other library anywhere, it appears to have been deleted. I have tried 'alt' clicking the icon which used to open a 'choose library' box, but this no longer works in photos or iPhoto. I have no idea where it has gone and it contains precious memories over the years including the birth of our children. Can someone please help???

    Where is your iPhoto library stored? 
    my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why.
    Since you are sharing it between two Macs, is the library on an external drive or a NAS, or another remotely mounted volume?
    If the library is not on a directly connected disk, formatted MacOS Extended, move the original iPhoto Library to a directly connected, correctly disk.
    And the try first the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on that library.  Repair the permissions, and repair the database in iPhoto.  Then try to migrate again to Photos.
    To repair hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First Aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    The select "Repair Permissions". And then repeat, but select "Repair Database"
    But make a current backup of your iPhoto Library before you try this.

  • Spry Slide Show-how to use one size photo for large photo and thumbnail?

    Hi all,
    I'm am using Adobe's Spry Slide Show. I can only use one size photo 640x480px for both the large photo and the thumbnail.
    I changed the size of the small thumnail on the html:
                     <li><a href="Photos/TestPhoto640x480.jpg" width="490" height="367"><img src="Photos/TestPhoto640x480.jpg" width="63" height="47" alt="photos-1.jpg" /></a></li>
    The thumbnail looks fine until you hit Live View or Preview in Browser then photo comes in full size and you can only see the upper left hand corner.
    I assume that the java is doing this. But I have no training in Java.
    How can I change the Java Code so the thumbnail comes in at 63x47px?
    Many thanks.

    Wish I could use scaled down versions of the thumbnails-but I can't.
    Why not?
        img.src = info.src;
        img.style.width =  "490px";<!--Large Photo size on internet-changed from info.width + "px"; to "490px";  *********-->
        img.style.height =  "368px";<!--Large Photo size on internet-changed from info.height + "px"; to "368px";  *******-->
    You're shooting yourself in the foot with this.  It's overriding your HTML and CSS  values.
    As an FYI, Adobe Abandoned the Spry framework late last year.

  • The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

  • Tried to reinstall iPhoto library from external hard drive, it shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.

    My hard drive crashed recently and we took it to apple to get repaired. The apple employees said that they would have to replace the hard drive but they didn't have the equipment to get the data off my hard drive. So I took it to a computer store who had the right equipment after a month and a half of waiting they finally got all the data off my hard drive and put it on an external hard drive (Seagate Expansion Portable Drive). I then took it back to apple who replaced the hard drive. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything. I have never done a Time Machine back up or backed my laptop up to . Which I now will do very often once I've reinstalled everything. I have reinstalled all of my desktop images and folders as well as my iTunes library with no issues. However when i went to reinstall my iPhoto library it came up blank. I then Rebuilt the library several times and this was the result.
    It shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.
    Please help i have three years worth of images from holidays on here and would be devastated if i lost them.

    iPhoto cannot find the thumbnails or the original pictures.
    Go to your iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder.
    Right-click on it and from the resulting menu, choose 'Show Package Contents'.
    This will bring you inside the iPhoto Library package. There you should see a Folder called Masters. Within that, there should be folder containing your actual photos.
    Are they there?

  • I Start a New am so frustrated with problems syncing photos on my iPad. I choose which files to sync but get deleted photos in my albums, my photos are in the wrong albums and the weirdest of all- I now have strange graphics and Facebook photos in albums!

    I have spent several hours trying to find a solution to the following problems. After syncing my IPad with ITunes, I end up with photos that I previously deleted in my albums, duplicate photos, albums that have wrong pictures in them and weirdest of all, strange graphics and Facebook photos that are not even mine. Right now I hate this thing!
    I have scanned the support forums, Googled it, deleted several photo caches, spent days editing my photo files, checked the specific folders I wanted to sync and it seems like it's not syncing, just adding the same photos and strange crap that it already had on it. Oh please help me!
    Thanks!

    OK....I'm stumped.  The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account.  Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

  • My photos are in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go back to their correct albums?

    Nevermind. I just renamed the folder on my mac and synced it again and everything is now in its proper place.

  • Deleted photo and thumbnail still shows up in album view and camera roll

    Hi, whenever i delete a photo on either my ipad(2) or iphone(4s), the thumbnail of the deleted photo still shows up in the album view and camera roll.
    Also, a picture that i deleted months ago (have saved other photos since then, and replaced the thumbnail) from my ipad randomly showed up in the album view and camera roll??
    I have IOS 5.0.1 installed on both iphone(4s) and ipad(2).
    Is this a software glitch or??
    thanks

    Sounds like a damaged database fie:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • I wrongly erased photos and video clips, can I retrieve them?

    I wrongly erased photos and video clips, can I retrieve them?

    Depends on how do you want to do it. If you store your backups with iCloud - try in your iPad's preferences. If you keep your stuff on your computer - plug your iPad in and launch iTunes, the photos should be there.
