Some linked images are not visible

Background: Opening an IDML file in Publisher. 

Problem: Half of my linked images are not visible on the page. I can see the images in the layers panel and if I click the layer I can see the image's rectangular outline in the correct place on the page but the actual image is not visible on the page.

I could delete and re-add all of the images but I have several books worth to do this to and would prefer an easier solution if I'm just missing something. 

I've checked the opacity. And if it helps (but might make it weirder), the images that are missing are always the images on the 2nd page of each spread.

Just guessing here. This may be down to the actual image being off page so to speak. Look in your layers pane and select one of the missing images there. Do you see the selection on the spread? You may have to zoom out quite a bit. What does the Transform panel show for x y coordinates?

Hmm, that doesn't seem to be the problem. I can see the images outline (when the layer is selected) is in the right spot on the page. If I click and drag the image down to a different spread it becomes visible. There isn't anything on it's current page that it could be underneath so I don't understand why it's visible when dragged to a separate spread but not visible on the current spread.

Then there may be something above the image. A screenshot of your layers panel would be useful. Try moving the image layer to the top of the layers panel on the same page.
