Q: iPhoto: Pictures not appearing
I am using 9.5.1 iPhoto. Some of the photos in the albums (a lot of them actually) do not display. What I mean by this is the album opens, there are little boxes where each photo should be but the photos don't display.
Anyone else have this problem? Can it be fixed?
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Little boxes with dashed outlines like marching ants?
In that case I'd try to rebuild the thumbnails in iPhoto.
Run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools.
- Make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library, but don't overwrite any older backups.
- To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys ⌥⌘ while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
- Keep the keys held down firmly until the First Aid panel appears.
- Then select "Rebuild thumbnails" from the First Aid pane.
- If this does not yet fix it, run "Rebuild Database".
What happened before this problem first occurred? DIs you move your iphoto Library? DIs iPhoto crash? Did your store the library from Time Machine?
