Q: why are my photos not all showing in thumbnail view until after do an edit? these are photos from iPhoto in snow leopard moved to photos in yosemite

Why isn't Photos in Yosemite showing the thumbnails of all my photos moved from iPhoto in Snow Leopard to Photos in Yosemite.  If I double click on the photo and do some type of edit, then the thumbnail is seen!

iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    select a small group and rotate 90 degrees then rotate back - doe this resolve the issue? If so to it for your library in medium to large groups

    it works, but doesn't answer the question of why in the world i would have to go thru all of this.  i have thousands of photos. is there no solution to take care of all of them at once?

    Sometimes a library's database gets damaged and doesn't covert correctly. 

     

    You can try more at a time but some users have reported getting a time out failure when trying to do their entire library.  I was able to rotate a library of 4700 photos/videos at one time.  Each rotate took about 1 minute.  However, many of the thumbnails didn't actually complete the rotation until some time after the progress bar finished and closed.

     

    I had to repair my library after the two rotations were completed as some photos ended up unside down.  However, the repair fixed it.
