New Photos not appearing in iPhoto but are in Show Contents

Hello,

I am have a few issues with iPhoto.

1. My last two imports of photos do not appear. the Last import is showing photos from back in 2013. If I Show Contents I can drill down and see in Master, Original a 2014/04/12 & 13 folder with sub folders and all the pictures. I made a not of the file names and back in Iphoto I tried to search for the image name but it did not retrn any results

2. I have had to force quit iPhoto 2-3 times in the past two days

3. Today when I open iPhoto, the Events do not show photo is is a black box. If I scroll up and down it then shows some photos, like I would nomally see.

Do this issue seem to indicate a problem with iPhoto, is there an index type issuse.. can I rebuild iPhoto in some way

For point 1, can i delete the folders in the "Show Content" option and reimport them?

Thanks

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

No. If you know the file name of the photos that are not showing do a search form them with the search tool:

If the image shows up Control (right) - click on it and select Show Event from the contextual menu.

If it does'nt kdo the following:

1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.

2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
