Unable to view all photos in Aperture library

Only the last upload of photos are viewable. Photos are on a Lacie external HD as is Aperture. It does list the 407 Projects, 39512 photos but thumbnails of the events are blank. I checked the Photo Filter and all boxes are unchecked.
Any suggestions?
Very nervous...... : (

Please tell us more, so we can get a clear picture:
What is your Aperture version?
Photos are on a Lacie external HD as is Aperture.
Do you mean you have a referenced library, and the referenced originals are on your Lacie drive? Or is your library managed and the whole library is on the external?
Does "as is Aperture" mean, that your Aperture application is also on the external?
How is your external drive formatted and how is it connected?
39512 photos but thumbnails of the events are blank.
In what way "blank" - do you see dashed outlines, or are they black?
Are your original image files raw or in another image format?
Do you have a current backup of your Lacie drive?

Unable to view all photos in version 8.1.2. Can only see last 18 month.

Unable to view ALL photos in V 8.1.2 Only able to view past 18 months.

Wild guess:
Option 1
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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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. .

Hi niles, Here is a page that details how to retrieve all the files and take ownership of them via powershell to check them in:

How do i allocate more memory to my iphoto application? i am unable to add more photos to my library i keep getting a pop up saying not enough memory in my application

how do i allocate more memory from my hd to my iphoto application? i have over 80 gb on my hard drive, but only 1.7 gb allocated to my iphoto application & i am unable to add more photos to my library. i keep getting a popup that says not enough application memory.

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Unable to view recent photos on my Mac in PSE 11 organizer

unable to view recent photos on my Mac in PSE 11 organizer ..I see them in Iphoto not organizer..Please help

On import, iPhoto copies photos into its library, which is proprietary to itself and should never be poked and prodded from outside iphoto or you run a strong risk of corrupting the library and losing your photos. So you eventually need to choose between iphoto and organizer.
If you want to use iphoto, then you have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto to PSE, edit them, then save without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the pse preferences>saving files>on first save), and iphoto will remember your last edits and the orginal. However, you must to lose the edited version to use the original again, and this method doesn't work well with raw files.
2. Export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, user File>Open in the editor, edit the photos, make all the changes to name and format that you like, save the photos and import them back to iphoto as new files.
Or if you decide you prefer organizer, set the this iphoto preference to No Application and you can call up the photo downloader from within organizer, or just drag the photo with the images in it from the card to wherever you want to keept them:
and of course you don't need to user either iphoto or organizer unless you want.

Newbie Question- unable to view certain photos in iPhoto 6

First time Mac user..just got my MBP.
I created folders and albums under iPhoto. I then copied .JPGs from my shared Windows drive directly into the albums. They get imported correctly because I can see all the pictures in the "gallery" view. However, when I click certain individual pictures, I get a outlined grey box with an exclamation in the middle. This happens with about half the photos. I can't seem to view them.
However, when I go through Finder, I am able to double click on the same photos and view them using Preview. Full size.
Anyone know why I am unable to view certain photos in iPhoto but am able to view everything in Preview?
Any help is appreciated..
Thanks!

Can not sync all photos in Aperture into Iphone 5

I can not sync all photos in Aperture into Iphone 5. It always can sync some photos into 5. Then finish and prompts: "itunes can not synchronize (other)thousands of projects, and see more information in itunes". That means most of my photos can not seen on Iphone 5, it seems just can't import to 5. Is that the problem of Iphone or the pictures in Aperture, or even just because lack of sufficient space?

Solved here...
Photos app not syncing with iTunes

My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise. I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?

My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise and I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "authorised", but I am experiencing a similar problem...or the same, in that Apple TV keeps telling me to enable home sharing in my MacBook Pro. It does not seem to recognize that home sharing is already enabled on my Laptop.
Is home sharing and "authorised" one in the same? It used to work just fine before these recent Apple TV updates.

How can I view all photos from a specific year?

How can I view all photos taken in one calendar year like 2010? Is there a way to filter this way?

Yes, create a smart album or a search with a "Date" rule or a Calendar rule.
For example: New > Smart Album
Add Rule: Date
Capture year is 2010.
or: Add Rule: Calendar
and click-step the year back to 2010:
In the Calendar it is a bit cumbersom to select a whole year, because it will only show 3 month at once. Select the first day and then scroll to to the end oft the year.

Unable to see All Photos when changing wallpaper in iOS 8

I am unable to see All Photos when I'm changing the wallpaper in iOS 8. I can only see my Albums that I've synced from my computer and Recently Added. Is this is a bug, moved the feature or just some odd thing going on with my phone?
Workaround: I can go to the actual photo in the Photos app, select it and send it to "Use as Wallpaper"
Device: iPhone 5S 32GB CDMA
iOS: 8

Try rebuilding the database, see if it helps:
Hold down the apple and option keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Want to view all photos in an Event, at once

I want to view all photos, from an Event, at once without scrolling down. When we got this, I remember looking at all photos together. Now, if I want to click and drag to another page or to iMovie, it wont let me. I can't put in trash either. Is it possible to view all to decide which photos to put on a video/movie? I am frustrated with this and have searched help topics and so on.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
It sounds like you may have changed the display to show a single photo - look in the lower right hand corner of the iPhoto display and slide the little slider there to the left to show more (smaller) photos in the display

How do I view folders in the aperture library through finder?

How do I view folders in the aperture library. If I look in my pictures I have the applibrary there but can't access it. If I click on it it opens Aperture and I can't find a way to find the info throught aperture either.

You can browse the contents of your Aperture Library from the Finder, but better do not change anything inside.
To look inside the Aperture Library package
Reveal the package in the Finder,
right-click or ctrl-click it and select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu.
You will see a folder with subfolders containing the masters, previews, and thumbnails.
The iLife Applications will let you browse the Aperture Library through the MediaBrowser, that is much safer.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. If your Aperture Library is referenced, not managed, you can view the master image files by selecting the image in Aperture in the Browser or film strip, ctrl-clicking it and selecting "Show in Finder".

TS3989 When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported). When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

Hopefully someone can help me with my question. When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported). When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).
How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding; try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it: Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

I am unable to download all photos to computer. At a certain photo I get the following message: IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image. How can I go around this image

I am unable to import all photos to IPhoto on computer. At a certain photo the following message appears: IPhoto cannot import your photos
because there was a problem downloading an image. How can I circumvent this particular image and import all other photos?

I'm having the same issue. i have imported everything but the offending photo from my iPhone. problem is, with over 5000 pics, i have no idea how to find THAT ONE pic that won't import (bc I just get a greyed out pic image - with no data in iPhoto)
any idea how to get "date taken" info of THAT ONE pic out of iPhoto (or any metadata) so I don't have to search 3 years of pictures?
and I do apologize for hijacking.
