Cannot add Rasters to Mosaic Dataset

[DaleShearer]

Hi,

    Here goes, I created a Mosaic Dataset, added Rasters (the .tif files) ran Build Overviews and it stitched the rasters together and I could see the stitched together image.  I ran Add Rasters To Mosaic Dataset with more tif raster files and it came up with the little yellow triangle and error message.  I went to the results I did not see any error message , but the raster dataset that I just did the Build Overviews on was not displaying any image.

And..if I go to rerun Add Rasters To Mosaic Dataset, when I go to the folder where the rasters are located they do not show up (they are still there).

I have my Mosaic Dataset selected.

I have Raster Type as Raster Dataset.

Input Data is Workspace

When I go the folder the rasters (.tifs) are in they are not displayed, if I go to ArcCatalog I can see them.

I have tried this through ArcToolBox and ArcCatalog.

I deleted the geodatabase, created a new one, created a new raster database and I still cannot see the rasters.

I used the following tutorial  to verify the steps I was doing (I used different database names etc.) and the raster dataset was created and appeared in my Table of Contents. 

Restarted my machine, opened a new ArcMap session, even tried to use a co-workers machine to try to add the rasters to the Mosaic Dataset, they still do not appear when using the tools.

Thank you for reading my question, Dale

It would of helped if I would of added the tutorial I used (with different names for the datasets)

You only need to path to the folder not the *.tif files themselves. Did you try this?

• Workspace—Allows you to select a folder containing multiple raster datasets. The folder can contain subfolders.This is affected by the Include Sub Folders and Input Data Filter parameters.

Thank you very much John,

    I put the .tif files that I wanted to add in a new folder and then selected that folder as the Input Data and now I have a Mosaic Dataset.

    I am putting together some old aerial photos and it joined/merged/stitched them very well.

Thank you for the help, it is greatly appreciated.  Dale,
