Verfiy all pictures are in albums

I've recently imported all my pictures into IPhoto. I created folders and albums to organize them. My library says I have 1285 pictures. If I select all my folders/albums it says there are 1268. I understand I do have 17 pictures in my library that I failed to put into albums. Is there a simple way to check to see if a picture is in a album?
Looking back I know that Smart Albums and keywords would probably have been a better choice, but I do not want to redo it all.
Thank you.

I haven't done this myself but others have reported success by defining one smart album - pics that are not in an album. I realize that it sounds goofy and you might need to experiment but supposedly it works.

  • Got a new computer Loaded LR  Copied back up from old computer and placed in LR folder in Pictures Open LR and opened catalog In Library all sub folders and pictures are listed  However all pictures are only Gray no pic

    Bought a New computer loaded  -  LR application--  appears to loaded ok.  Copied Backup from old computer Wanted to have pics on new computer   Saved Backup to LR folder in Pictures   When opening Catalog  all sub files and corresponding number of pictures are correct However all pictures are blank with gray color.  Need to understand what I have done wrong.

    Sam,
    Sorry, wasn't to clear on my description (and wrong terminology)
    The old computer was an OSX machine running iPhoto and I had a library of photos as well as a series of albums associated with that library.
    The new computer, also an OSX machine running iPhoto, copied over the library from the old machine using the "migrate" utility. I didn't run it on the first time I ran the machine, but I ran it after I had been using the new machine for a couple of days.
    What I can see on the new machine is all the folders in the Photo folder in the User folder have been copied over into the iPhoto folder. All the jpg files appear to be there.
    When I open iPhoto on the new machine, it opens right away, and on the left side I can see the albums have all been imported but they are all empty. The library is also empty.
    Not sure what I can do to keep my album organization.
    I guess I have the option to add to library and just copy all the jpg files into the new machine, but doing this gets everything into the new library, but doesn't import any of the albums.

  • After installing OS Yosemite I have been unable to update iPhoto, It's been 2 days.  All pictures are gone.  Need help.

    I installed OS Yosemite and I got the following message "The Photo Library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. I clicked Updgrade, but it  has been two days and it hasn't been able to upgrade my library and none of my picture are showing. Don't know what to do. Please help.

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • I have pictures on my phone that I can not delete.  There is no trashcan.  These pictures are in albums and not the camera roll itself.  How can I delete them?

    My wife and I decided that we needed separate accounts for our two 4s phones.  To do this, the data from her phone needed to be transferred out, then transferred back in under the different account.  The pictures were transferred back in using Itunes.  These appear as separate albums in the "photos" app.  I would like to delete some (or all) the pictures in these extra albums, but there is no trashcan to put them in.  I can only delete pictures in the "camera roll" itself.  These pictures are taking up valuable memory and I would like to free up some space.  How can I delete them?

    You're welcome. 
    As it relates to pictures, iTunes will only do two things: it will transfer photos from your computer to your device (if you select to Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings); and it will include the camera roll photos on your device in your device backup (if you back up to your computer rather than to iCloud).  It does not transfer photos from your phone, only to your phone.  (Transferring photo from your phone to your computer is done by importing them as expained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.)
    The only area where you might lose pictures by syncing would be if you synced your phone while selecting Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and the photos you had previously synced to your phone from your computer were no longer on your computer.  iTunes is syncing photos one-way; ensuring that the photos transferred from your computer match the photos still on your computer.  If you delete the photos from your computer, then sync, the deleted photos are then removed from your phone.
    This does not effect photos in the camera roll or in your photo stream, it only effects photos in the Photo Library album and albums containing photos in the Photo Library album.
    The deleted photos would have been placed in the recycle bin when you originally deleted them from the computer.  Nothing is put in the recycle bin when syncing with iTunes.

  • Unable to view photos in iPhoto, although all pictures are still accessible via Finder?

    Last week, I was trying to import some pictures from a USB flash drive. During the import, I got an error that some of the pictures were corrupt and iPhoto '08 7.1.5 stopped the process. At that time, iPhoto still showed all my events and pictures correctly.
    The next day however, iPhoto was completely empty and did not show any event/picture. It simply says 'no photos' at the bottom (in Dutch):
    None of the rebuilding features solve the problem (iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library).
    Via Finder, I'm able to access the iPhoto library (and I only see 1 library at the location) and view the master files all sorted per year. All pictures open perfectly when I double click them in preview.
    If I simply try to drag these pictures to iPhoto, I get an error saying that they are unrecognised/unreadable:
    How do I get these events/pictures back in iPhoto?
    Thanks for your help!

    It appears you'll haver to do the following:
    Starting 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. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • All pictures are over exposed

    All my pictures in Apertura are over exposed. If I ajust the exposure down with a fraction the red color goes away. The preview pictures are fine. I have left the pictures in there original library position. This happend after a few days use og Apertura. Did I hit a wrong key?

    The Red (or Blue for underexposed) is not really there.  It only appears to alert you, and lets you choose to address or not.  The iPhoto is just not showing you that.
    You can click View, and then assuming Highlight Hot and Cold is checked, uncheck it.  You can then forget it if the photo looks good enough to you.
    But you can address it on one photo, click on Metadata, and then Lift Adjustments.  Then you can choose one or more other images, and Stamp the same adjustment.

  • TS3989 I was transferring all my vacation pictures from iPhone to PC because icloud was limited on space.  Now all pictures are gone from phone and not on PC or icloud. Where could they be?

    Can not locate any of my vacation pictures after trying to transfer from my phone to pc so I could have some printed.  All photos are missing as well as the contacts on my phone being removed.  Not sure what to do next.

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • I am new to apple having worked with microsoft all these years.  The switch was more for my photos. iPhoto seem to have changed my digital albums into tiff. All pictures are now in very small resolution. Can anyone out there help me retrieve my photos. Ta

    I am new to apple software having worked with microsoft all these years. The switch was mainly for my photographs. Iphotos seemed to have changed all digital albums from jpeg to tiff format hence the very small resolution. Can anyone out there please help me recover these photos to origianal format???
    Thanks

    Gosh I am already tired of trying to retrieve this photo album and it seems like a waste of time and money spent on an apple IMac.
    No disrespect intended but until you learn how iPhoto and Macs work you will continue to be confused and frustrated. 
    You say you want to create a book in iPhoto and have it printed by Apple, right.  Have you finished creating  the book in iPhoto? If so the Control (right) - click in the View all pages window background and select Save Book as  PDF in the contextual menu?
    Open the the PDF file with Preview and check for any errors or problems.  If there are none you can order the book by clicking oin the Buy Book button at the bottom. Save the pdf file to compare with the printed book when it arrives in you feel there's a problem with it.  That's all you need to do.  There's no use of the Finder required.

  • How to determine which pictures are in albums?

    With 7000 pictures over 10 years, I decided to group some into albums. This I did. I then came back the next day to continue my task and learned that photos are not "moved" into albums but all 7000 remain in the library. Trouble is I do not know which photos have already been put into albums. When looking at the library is there a way to know which photos belong to an album? Is there an app for that?

    Smart albums can only tell which photos are not in an album. 
    Why isn't there a label under the photo library that indicates that a certain photo is part of the this face, this album and that event?

  • Not all Pictures are getting sync

    I have the New iPad and Windows 7 with the latest version of iTunes. I have a folders with many pictures in them. I am trying to sync these pictures to the iPAd. I select the folders I want and the picture start to sync but not all the picture copy over to the ipad I have cleared the itune photo cash folder. Please help I bought this so I could copy my pictures to it and it is not working right. Please help.

    It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right-click context menu while saving an image.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • All Pictures are black

    All I can see in iPhoto are thumbnails, thumbnails and more thumbnails. Nothing but thumbnails!
    I've done:
    Repair Permissions
    Rebuild Thumbnails
    Repair Database
    Rebuild Database
    I've created a brand new blank library and imported a new photo.
    I've done a Reveal in Finder=>Original File and looked at and viewed the picture in a preview.
    But absolutely nothing will allow me to view a photo. Old photos, newly imported photos. Photos imported from my phone. Photos imported from my camera. Photos imported from my son's camera.
    What can I do? I'm desperate.
    I think this happened after I upgraded to Mavericks but I can't be sure.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • If all pictures are updated, then print document

    hi there,
    i'm new to this forum, so hi!
    i have to solve the following problem:
    i want an indesign document to be printed automatically, when three of four pictures have been updated.
    no dialog, just print the whole document...
    is this possible via indesign script?
    can anyone point me in a direction? im pretty new do indesign scripts, but im desperate...
    thank you very very much in advance!
    mirko

    It's doable, but a bit trick, and it also sounds inadvisable.
    What version of InDesign?
    Can you tell us more about why you want this functionality? It sounds like something that's easy to mess up and hard to debug.
    Anyhow, you would probably do this with an AFTER_UPDATE event handler attached to the Link objects.
