Why can i not skim my photos?

hi, my photos show up as black spaces and i have to double click each event to be able to see what's in them. why can i not skim the events?

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.

    Hey Uptogetdown,
    Check out the following article:

    It is for troubleshooting issues with the Messages application on iOS devices, so I'd go through the steps listed and see if that resolves the issue.

  • HT201317 why can i not access my photos on my PC computer via icloud ?

    why can i not access my photos on my PC computer via icloud ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you mean your photostream photos, you can see them on a PC have you enabled photostream.

  • HT201269 why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iphone to import to my new Ipad Air?

    Why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iPhone to import onto my new iPad Air ?

    We don't know how to answer because we don't know what you are doing.
    I can tell you that you cannot connect the two devices together to transfer content. And videos do not work in Photo Stream, but it does work for photos. However, you can only stream photos to the device after you have enabled photo stream on the iPad. Any photos that were already on the phone - before you turned on Photo Stream -will not sync to the iPad.
    Look at this app for the videos.

  • Why can I not send a photo by e-mail?

    I can not send a photo by e-mail.  I have tried every thing.  What else can I do?

    Well ....... good. And those watching over your shoulder can easily tell just what's going on. The rest of us have to work at a disadvantage.
    So, try this:
    a.  Say exactly what you are tying to do (we know that .... send photos in email)
    b.  Say exactly how you are trying to do it
    c.  Describe what you expect to happen or to see when you do it that way
    d.  Describe, completely, what happens instead, including any error messages
    e.  Give a complete summary of what you've read, what resources you've accessed, and what troubleshooting steps you have already tried.
    If you'd done that to start with you'd already have answers targeted to your specific problem. The more of it you do the better others can see what's going on and what the problems and solutions might be.

  • According to I tunes i synced 154 photos into my phone via itunes as directed  but none will displayon my phone. Why can i not find my photos?

    i followed the instructions for syncing photos to my computer from my iphone.  I now want to sync photos from my computer back into my iphone.  The pc i am using shows that i selected a folder.  It contained 154 photos.  The little screen said transfering.... then completed.   after this the itunes show 154 photos in the phone but none show in the camera app.   I looked in the general, settings and it also says 154 photos live in my phone but none are visible.  Why?

  • HELP, why can i not see my photo stream or contacts on icloud???

    I have set up and turned on everything in my icloud setting on my iphone, but none of my photos, mail, or contacts are loaded on my icloud website profile. anyone know why? my reminders and calenders are there.... please help!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos aren't supposed to show up at iCloud.com, only iCloud mail can be viewed at iCloud.com, are you expecting other accounts to be available.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • HT4906 why can i not turn on photo stream on my mac which has OS X 10.7.4?

    Why does my Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to check the photostream box in icloud, under the System Preferences tab? It just allows me to chose "learn more."

    Photo stream requires iPhoto '11 - what version of iPhoto do you have?

  • Why can I not edit my photos

    have my library on an external hard drive.  Recently copied it to another ext. hard drive.  Had a power outage last night.  now, I can see all the photos but when  i click to edit, I get either a bang symbol or a black screen.
    help!

    Thank you.
    How would I go about the first idea?  Backing up from before the outage?  Also, the back up external drive that photos had been saved to was not attached at the time of the power outage which is also concerning.
    I would need a step by step as my skill level is limited.

  • Why can i not add individual photos from my photo stream to individual albums ...like i used to in iPhoto ??

    unable to add individual photos to individual albums.

    Best I can tell it's either because that wouldn't work on the iPad, or they haven't enabled it.
    Select a Photo (or Photos) in the Photo Stream and click the + button on the toolbar. You can then choose which Albums to Add it to.

    I am not able to delete photos in camera roll since the updates

    Try resetting the device. HOld down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red slider, and until you see the silver apple. Let it restart and see if that fixes it.

  • Iphoto vs icloud vs iphone.... why can i not see my photos on my phone?

    i am trying to veiw my iphoto photos from my mac, i want to see them on my i phone. i have set up the streaming on both devices and i sstil see nothing! does iphoto for iphone also have to be downloaded to see everything i see on my computer?

    What version of iPhoto? Of the Mac OS?
    You do not need iPhoto for the iPhone to stream photos.
    The general answer is to turn PhotoStream on in the Mac iCloud preferences and in the iPhoto preferences and on your iPhone. Then drag photos from the iPhoto library to the PhotoStream in the source pane on the left

  • Why can I not paste a photo in iMovie08 without disrupting the audio

    All i can find in the threads is use iM06 or iM HD. Are you serious? They left this out of the 'latest' release. I dont have iM06. I have a brand new mac. Do I now have to buy iM HD? Please somone help.

    Sorry let me clarify. I am trying to drag a photo over exsisting video footage with its original audio. It ends up splitting the video track and it's audio. We used to be able to drag a photo over a video clip without disrupting the video clip's audio essentially 'overlaying' the photo for a nice effect.
    it should be working as your described unless the "photo" is a "single" frame copied to the "iMovie" modified clipboard and "pasted" into the video clip. In this case simply save the "frame" as a graphic file (e.g., JPEG) and then drag it in normally from the desktop as you would a photo from iPhoto to automatically turn it into a "still frame" sequence which overlaps your video normally.

  • Why can i not export my photos to a memory stick

    I also can not order prints it will not complete

    I also can not order prints it will not complete
    Boot into Safe Mode,  Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and create a PDF preview file of the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. Check the PDF file for errors and if satisfied order your book from the Safe Mode.
    Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed book when it arrives.
