Why are my recent photos turning blank

why are my recent photos turning blank all of  a sudden?  And how do I retrieve the pictures that were backed up to icloud?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. Describe the problem as fully as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
- What format is that flash drive?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    Why do my scanned photos turn red when I try to edit them in IPhoto?

    Assuming these are Black and white, iPhoto still needs an RGB colorspace assigned, it can't work with images that are in B&W colorspace.
    Scan in color and de-saturate in iPhoto, if required.

    Why are my iPhone photos smokey looking?

    my iphone 4 pictures have ALWAYS been sharp and crystal clear, recently they are extremely grainy and blury.  I do not have anything blocking the camera lens and have even cleaned any smudges but I am experiencing the same thing.  When i look at photos i took last month compared to recent weeks, they are horrible!

  • Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

    why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
    I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

    Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
    If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
    As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
    Take care, Mike

  • Why are my ipad photos blurry

    Why are my ipad photos blurry

    They were probably taken in low light, the brighter the lighting the better the photo. Lower light levels require the shutter to be open longer which require the camera to be held steady for a longer period of time. If you move the photo is blurred. So you will have to be more steady when taking the photo indoors or you will get blurring.
    The same is true for all cameras and why they have a flash. More expensive cameras with better lenses and larger sensors will work better in lower light, but still can require a tripod to minimize any movement which can cause blurring.

  • HT201317 Why are there more photos on my Photo Stream on my ipad than on my iphone?

    Why are there more photos on my Photo Stream on my ipad than on my iphone?
    Also, how can I push photos from photo stream to my ipnone?

    Probably because you enabled photo stream on your iPad before you did on your phone.  Photos are only maintained in photo stream for 30 days, although photos outside of this limit will remain on your device.  If you enabled photo stream on your phone later, some of the photos were probably no longer in photo stream to sync to your phone.
    To get them on your phone, import them to your computer and sync them to your phone, or use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer them to your phone.

  • HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
    There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

  • Why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time. Some of them are afterwards available on fotostream others not

    Hi,
    why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time?
    Some of these photos are afterwards available on fotostream others not.
    Thx

    If they are in photos view then they are in an event unless you have a corrupted library
    How are you"merging" the photos?
    most common issue is either bad sort (view menu ==> sort events) or bad camera dates
    select one and show event to see the event

  • Why are my icloud photo sharing albums taking up storage on my phone?

    I am confused why if icloud photo sharing albums are supposed to have unlimited cloud storage why my icloud photo sharing albums are taking up storage on my iphone?

    iCloud is syncing your Shared albums with your devices. All photos you share to iCloud are synced to the devices that subscribe to the  shared album.
    If you want to save storage on your device, store your photos in iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and activate the option "Optimize Storage".
    See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You

  • Why are my photostream photos not syncing to my new device?

  • Why only my recent photos transferred from my icloud to my pc.

    JUST SET UP ICLOUD. ONLY MY MOST RECENT PHOTOS DOWNLOADED FROM MY ICLOUD TO MY PC. WHY DID NOT ALL MY OLDER PHOTOS DOWNLOAD? HOW CAN I PHYSICALLY DOWNLOAD THEM. THANK YOU FOR ANYONE WHO CAN HELP....

    Hello DIEPEVEEN860,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Photo Stream.  It sounds like you just set it up on your computer and are only seeing the most recent pictures. 
    Photo Stream only stores photos from the last 30 days on the server, so when you set it up on a new device, you will only see pictures from the last 30 days:
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.

  • Why are not all photos in the "Photos" app not showing on the camera roll?

    On my iPad 2 (using iOS 7.1.2) there are 1,279 photos in the Photos application. The camera roll contains 77 photos. The About section in the Settings indicate I have 1,421 photos. Why is there this discrepancy in numbers? How can I move all 1,279 photos from the Photos application to a USB flash drive?

    You cannot.
    You have sync'd 1202 photos (1279-77)  from your computer using iTunes to your iPhone.
    You have 77 photos on you iPhone you have taken with the iPhone and have not sync'd to your computer and deleted from the Camera Roll.
    You should regularly sync all photos in the Camera Roll to your computer and delete them from the Camera Roll on the iPhone.
    -> iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    After you do this, you can sync whatever photos you want, back to your iPhone using iTunes. (These are the photos NOT in the Camera Roll).
    -> iTunes: Syncing photos
    After all this, you can copy photos from your computer to a USB flash drive.
