Thumbnails do not represent the actual photos

Hello, I am a newbie, so thank you for any help with my problem.
When I scroll through the thumbnails in library, a whole bunch of them appear for a split second but then other thumbnails are shown instead; then when I click to see the full photo, I see the "real" underlying photo, which doesn't match the thumbnail.
Do I have too many photos (2700) for my memory? Am I supposed to not have so many photos in the library? (sorry for dumb questions)
Thanks,
Juyon

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
No - the problem is not too many photos - 2700 is not a lot
How much free disk space do you have?
If you have enough make a copy of the iPhoto library and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and rebuild the thumbnails

How do I add text to a photo when making a calendar from iPhoto? I see the text box for the dates but not for the actual photo...thanks.

I can't find a way to add text to a photo once it's been put into the top pane of the calendar month...is there a way to do this since I'd like to add a descriptor to the photos? I see the text box when you click on the calendar date, but don't find one for the photo pane. Thanks for any assistance.

Right - you can not add text to photos with iPhoto - you must use an external editor

In iPhoto, the thumbnails do not match the real photo, they repeat often the same 15 photos over and over

My iPhoto 9.3.2 (670..63) in Mountain Lion is repeating a grouping of thummnails whose photos when you click do not match. I have called Apple Care and have reinstalled a new iPhoto library and still have the problem. We did al this after the update but not the upgracde to MOuntain Lion. This issue is so annoying since instead of easily looking thorugh the thumbnaisl I have to click on each thumnail to see what is under them. Please help.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

The display photo of some iPhoto pictures do not match the actual photo. How do I fix it?

When I open an album, the icon of some photos are not the same as the photo when I open it.

May be a good idea to post question in the iPhoto section of Support for more visitors

IPhoto can not find the original photo, does iPhoto copy the photo or just make a thumbnail?

Hi,
I'm scanning and putting all of my (paper) photos into my computer and then into iPhoto, tagging them, and doing all the time consuming things necessary to build a good library.
I've tried to open a few of the events and look at the photos I put in but I get an error that iPhoto can not find the original photo. When I put a photo into iPhoto does the program only make a thumbnail copy with a link to the original, or does it actually copy the photo into the library? I'm thinking the former. Because I have a Time Machine backup, a hard copy, and (presumably) a copy in iPhoto, I have been deleting the photos AFTER putting them into iPhoto. Do I need to keep the photos I put in iPhoto on my computer? Will I need to go into TM and restore them? Will I loose the information like Faces, Places, Keywords, if I do?
Thank you much,
I'm working with 9.1.2

I have exactly the same problem except my photo is named "L1000093.jpg" and it's been there for a year now, but suddenly, when I wanted to view it in it's album, ("Favorite" which has been there for a year too), it says "The photo P1010311.jpg cannot be found"!!! What the heck is going on? So I canceled, went back to the album, clicked on L1000093, clicked "show event", went over to Event, clicked "reveal in finder" and there it is, iPhoto Library/Master/blah blah blah... L1000093.jpg!
Where the hack did that P1010311.jpg came from? Sure I have that photo, but it's in a completely different event and a different album! What's is iPhoto 11 / Lion / iTunes 10.5.3(3) up to?
So I threw L1000093jpg into the trash, went into Lightroom, find the original, re-export it, load it again into iPhoto, added it again to the album (favorite), and guess what? I just did all those and the same "The bloody photo cannot be found" message popped up and when I go to finder, there it is.
This is a bug. It's been a bug since 2006 as far as I can remember. And Apple had never done a complete fix. It's an if thing!
And the most frustrating part: Althought they call this an Apple forum and you have to sign in to participate, I have never seen one Apple software guy here saying "this is what to do", just us victims helping each other and many non-Apple folks guessing to the best of their ability to comfort us.
Oh, toys are toys. I sometimes wonder if Steve had fought so hard yet the cancer in Apple actually won!

I recently moved all of my photos from one portable drive to a new and much larger one. I use LR 5 and and all of the folders now have a ? in their folder icon. The thumbnail is there but no actual photo. How do i reconnect them?

Events folders display photo that is not the actual photo file

When I open an event file, the photos displayed are not the actual photos. For instance, in the event "Graduation," I now have random photos of my daugher's dance recital displayed, but when I open them, the photos are indeed of graduation. So, I can't see what photos are in an event until I open each photo file There is no rhyme or reason to what photos randomly pop up on the surface, and it doesn't happen with all the files within an event, just some. Please tell me someone else has had a similar problem as it is making me feel a bit batty!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I can not download the last Iphoto update, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

I can not download the last Iphoto update that I already purchased it by app store, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

Thanks for your replay,
Finally the Iphoto 9.5 was installed...any way ..I had to go to app store to purchase it because the previous version did not updated autimatically... only shoed me that there is a new version ...but it guided me to the app store to purchase it.... and I did it because I did not know that the up date was free...and the sistem did not adviced me about that...
I have the last up date of os x 10.9 already...
in this new version I have no problem to send the photos by e-mail... but in the previous one it allways showed me an error message like ¨I should try later because the server does not work¨ but I tryed with 4 differents e-mail account that worked perfectly in the app Mail.
any way, this new version is ok..
thenks a lot

I just installed a larger hard drive, and used my Time Machine Backup to transfer my info back to the new hard drive. When I open Iphoto, my thumnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos.I see the photos in my HD. What should I do

I just installed a larger hard drive, and used my Time Machine Backup to transfer my files back to the new hard drive. When I open Iphoto, my thumbnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos. I see the original photo files in my HD. Is there a way to link the Iphoto thumbnails back to the original files?

Use the Firewire cable and t boot the old Mac's hard drive to the new Mac's desktop and transfer your entire iPhoto folder.
Use Disk Utiliy to erase'format HFS+ Journaled your TimeMachine drive and use the free Carbon Copy Cloner and clone your new boot drive to the external, it's hold option bootable.

When I drag a photo to the timeline on iMovie, a different photo appears. I've tried recreating thumbnails, and also created the problem photos in a test library.

When I drag a photo to the timeline on i-Movie sometimes a different photo, or even a video appear and sometimes it is just a black screen. I've tried recreating thumbnails, and even copied the problem photos into a test library, but still can't get it to work. Genius Bar kept my laptop 6 days and didn't do anything to help, just said the project was corrupt and I would need to recreate. Just tried a completely new project with totallty different photos and still experiencing the same problem. Anyone else had this issue?

I have created the same document SEPARATELY using both '08 & '09 versions of Pages. After creating the document in Pages '08 I 'Save' the file to my documents. And then email with attached file.
(1) I am not trying to 'convert' the same document from Pages '08 to Pages '09
(2) But I still can't understand why one version should act differently from the other even on an iOS device?
(1) It's not me which wrote :
> The file is formated for PAGES within the Share - Via Mail Options, not PDF or WORD.
(2) Simply because under iOS, the app isn't supposed to import iWork '08 files.
The internal description of the document is really different in '08 and '09.
To get more help, ask in the forum dedicated to iWork for iOS.
Here most of us aren't using Pages4iDevices.

All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area. I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo. this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto. Help!

In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPad Air, the Events arrive in the proper order but not showing the Key Photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto on the iPad in totally random order but showing the Key Photo.Why?

In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

When using rabbitmq-jms for vFabric RabbitMQ javax.jms.Message.getJMSDestination does not return the actual destination when it is received from a consumer listening on a Topic with a wild card

When using rabbitmq-jms for vFabric RabbitMQ javax.jms.Message.getJMSDestination does not return the actual destination when it is received from a consumer listening on a Topic with a wild card. I have tested with both 1.0.3 and 1.0.5 clients with RabbitMQ 3.1.5.
I was wondering if the community was aware of this problem and if there are any workarounds? If not what is the proper channel to file a bug report. An example code snippet is below. The test fails because the TextMessageMatcher expects the destination passed in on construction (second parameter) to equal the desination on the message received (aquired from getJMSDestination).
        Mockery context = new Mockery();
        final MessageListener messageListener = context.mock(MessageListener.class);
        final Latch latch = new LatchImpl();
        final String prefix = "test" + System.currentTimeMillis();
        context.checking(new Expectations() {
                oneOf(messageListener).onMessage(with(new TextMessageMatcher("MSG1", prefix + ".1234")));
                will(new CustomAction("release latch") {
                    @Override
                    public Object invoke(Invocation invocation) throws Throwable {
                        latch.unlatch();
                        return null;
        final Connection connection = createConnection(null, null);
        Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
        connection.start();
        Topic wildcardTopic = (Topic) getInitialContext().lookup(prefix + "." + "#");
        Topic destination = (Topic) getInitialContext().lookup(prefix + ".1234");
        final MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(wildcardTopic);
        consumer.setMessageListener(messageListener);
        MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(null);
        producer.send(destination, session.createTextMessage("MSG1"));
        latch.await(5000);
        connection.close();
        Thread.sleep(5);
        context.assertIsSatisfied();
