Why don't the photos display in new library on external drive?

Power Bk 10.5.8, iPhoto 5.0.4: Because of its size, I created a new iPhoto library on an external drive. iPhoto does see the drive and generates all the names of the albums but no images. All of the pictures are indicated by a generic gray box. Double clicking on the gray image icon does open it for editing in Photoshop or iPhoto. What do ya think? Thanks for any ideas!

When you launch Photoshop and choose File > Open... and open a file, can you supply a full screenshot so we can see what you are looking at?
If there is an error message please include it, and open the Layers panel when you take the screenshot.

  • Why don't the photos load properly

    When i scroll through my photos in my library (in loop mode) why don't the photos load properly and the photos still blurred?

    LR may not have rendered the necessary previews yet.
    Did you render only minimal previews in your import settings?
    How big have you specified your standard previews in your preferences? It should match the screen you are mostly using for image viewing.
    Then you can invoke the command to let LR render standard previews from the Library. LR will first scan how many previews it already has, then actually create the missing ones.

  • Importing Assets section of Eagle tutorial, why don't the photos load?

    Importing Assets section of Eagle tutorial, the photos won't load when I double click on them and I don't see anything in the right pane.

    Thank you for your reply.  I think somehow that something got disabled
    in the program on my computer because I uninstalled it and reinstalled
    and then it worked.  

  • Why don't the photos show in a newsletter I received even when I view the newsletter online?

    I created a newsletter for my organization with Vertical Response containing photos and the sample test of the newsletter was perfect. When I actually sent it out through VR to our mailing list, my own arrived with only the file name showing of each photo. No alert to allow remote content was offered by the program. The newsletter had an option to view online which I did, but still no photos, just the .jpg file names.

    Thanks for your speedy reply, finitarry. Yes, the photos are embedded images in HTML, not attachments, but Thunderbird did not give me the usual alert option for downloading the remote images. I'm hearing now that other recipients of the newsletter are having the same problem so I suspect the problem is on the other end..... the mass email company i used.

  • HT4927 Are there ways to only upload certain photos from my iphoto backup? It is really big and I don't want all the photos on my new computer.

    Are there ways to only upload certain photos from my iphoto backup? It is really big and I don't want all the photos on my new computer.

    There is a way to find and recover individual photos from a Time Machine backup. 
    1 - dowload and launch  Find Any File.
    2 - select the Time Machine hard drive in FAF's Find Items menu.
    3 - enter the full file name of the photo you want to recover into FAF and use the Find button.
    NOTE: it will take a while for FAF to retrieve and display the results of the search due to the nature of how TM makes its backups. 30 seconds or so is normal.
    4 - select the file in the Masters folder and use the Space bar to verify it's the one you want with Quickview.
    5 - drag the file from the FAF window to your Desktop.
    6 - repeat for each photo you need to restore.

  • Why don't my photos appear as they do in iPhoto on my Apple Computer. Even though I specify to sync all Events, Faces, etc. the iPad 2 is missing Faces categories and the Events are in a different order.

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

  • Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

    Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

    James,
    Thanks for your response.  The image was on a site I maintain.  I have already replaced the image with a jpg, which works fine.  I believe I can duplicate the problem, if you think it is worth it.  Gimme a few...
    http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about2.html is the page with the png I restored to use.
    http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about.html is the page with the replacement jpg
    Just checked.  The png still does not display on iPhone(5) or iPad(3).  The image was also made by me in pixelmator and both (png and jpg) were exprted from pixelmator.
    thanks again,
    Tim

  • Why don't my photos save after taking photo?

  • Why don't the parental controls on the mac pro work?   I have the settings correct.

    Why don't the parental controls work on the mac pro?

    I am set as the administrator able to make changes and one day my daughter was set as the administrator.  I did not make the change.
    How old is your daughter?
    Is it possible she has seen you type your password, and given herself admin rights? Or used your user_id when you stepped away from the computer?
    If so, you will need to do one or more of:
    a) change your password. This leaves you open to having her watch and take the new password. You can also "require password after nnn minutes of screensaver" in System Preferences > Security
    b) add a new Admin with a new password. use it ONLY for Administration. Log in to it and demote your own Account to a non-Admin. Then go back to your own account, which cannot be used to add privileges. When you want to install something, you will type the Admin username and password.
    c) have a deeply serious discussion about building TRUST and giving her increasing responsibilities toward becoming a free-standing responsible adult.

  • HT4927 I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing

    I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
    I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

    I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
    That means you imported one Library to another.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
    So, what to do?
    Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

  • Unplanned automatic failover using Hyper-v Replica , why don't the VMs start up automatically on the replica server?

    Hi,
    We have cluster with two hosts (Host01 , host02) replicated to another server (Replica01)
    in order to test automatic failover to the replica server  (Replica01) We unplugged the power cables from Host01 and Host 02 
    now the VMs on the replica server is still off  , why don't the VMs start up  automatically on the replica server?
    Ramy Shaker

    overall there is no automatic failover in Hyper-V
    Of course there is. It's enabled by Failover Clustering. This is a totally separate technology from Hyper-V Replica.
    There is no automatic start up in Hyper-V Replica because it is not designed to detect a split-brain condition where the same virtual machine is running in multiple locations simultaneously. The replica site has no way to know why it can't reach the primary
    system anymore. It might just be because someone unplugged a network cable. If the primary's virtual machines are still running and the replica decides to spin up its copies, you will have many troubles.

  • Why doesn't the keyboard display lower case when this is selected?

    Why doesn't the keyboard display lower case characters when these are selected?

    The same reason physical keyboards have capital letters, easier to read. If the iPad keyboard is in caps you'd know because the Shift key would be colored blue.

    more info would help. If you're using actionscript and
    loading images from a folder maybe your path to that location is
    wrong. It's possible that your images aren't in the right layer or
    level but noticed that when initially published.

  • Deleted photo stream but saved the photos in a new album

    hi i deleted my photo stream but saved the photos in a new album in my ipod touch but when i deleted it the photos are cannot be found! are there any chance to get those photos recovered? really need help with this. thanks!

    No. Since when you create photo albums by using photos from PhotoStream the album only is a pointer to the photo ub PhotoStream
    How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
    You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, then tap the trash icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, then select delete. When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, it will be removed from the Photos tab and your albums and iCloud. Photos imported from My Photo Stream to other devices won’t be deleted. Learn more about deleting photos.
    What happens to my photos if I turn off My Photo Stream?
    If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on an iOS device, all the photos in the My Photo Stream album are removed from that device. Any photos from My Photo Stream that were imported to the Recently Added album and the Photos tab will also be removed. The photos from My Photo Stream on your other devices aren't affected. Photos from My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you uploaded them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, those photos will automatically download to this device.
