Und zeigt das Fenster nur eine einzige Mediathek an? Und diese enthält nur einen Teil der Bilder?
Manchmal enthält die Mediathek noch mehr Bilder, als in iPhoto sichtbar sind. Die Verbindung zwischen den Miniaturen und den Originalen kann verloren gehen. Versuche einmal, die Mediathek zu reparieren.
Dazu starte die Erste Hilfe: Halte die beiden Tasten alt-cmd (⌥⌘) gleichzeitig gedrückt und doppelklicke gleichzeitig die Mediathek. Jetzt sollte das Panel erscheinen:
Wähle zuerst "Datenbank reparieren". Und wenn das nichts bringt, mache eine Sicherheitskopie der Mediathek, wie sie jetzt is,t und versuche "Datenbank neu anlegen".
ich weiß nicht was passiert ist Bilder sind for sure weg
Man kann diekt in die Mediathek hineinschauen - aber bitte vorsichtig.
Wähle die Mediathek im "Bilder" Ordner aus; dannhalte die ctrl (strg) Taste runter, während Du die Medithek anklickst. Jetzt sollte das folgende Menü erscheinen:
Wähle "Paketinhalt anzeigen" aus. Welche iPhoto '11 Version ist das genau?
In iPhoto 9.4.3 sind alle Originale im Ordner "Masters". Wähle "Masters" aus und schaue in die Unterordner (nach Jahr, Monat, Tag), was noch an Bildern da ist.
Enthält die Mediathek noch mehr Bilder, als in iPhoto sichtbar sind?
Falls nicht, versuche zu rekonstruieren, was vorher passiert ist.
Hast Duversucht, ein Programm laufen zu lassen, das den Mac schneller machen soll, wie MacKeeper, CleanMyMac?
Gab es andere Problem? Andere Programme, die Fehler gemeldet haben? Ist iPhoto abgestürzt?
Wurde neue Software installier oder ein update?
Wurde die iPhoto Library in einen anderen Ordner verschoben?
Oh, und ganz wichtig: Wie sind die Einstellungen in iPhoto für "EInstellungen > Erweitert > Importieren"?
Ist das immer noch auf die Standardeinstellung gesetzt: "Objekte in die iPhoto Mediathek kopieren"? Wenn nicht, ändere das bitte zurück, die andere Einstellung ist gefährlich, da dann die Photos nicht in die iPhoto Mediathek kopiert werden und leicht aus Versehen gelöscht werden können.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened?

    This is very upsetting.  ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened, and how can I get them back?

    Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
    Try rebuilding the library.

  • All my 800 photos have vanished from iphoto after I uploaded more photos

    All my 800 photos vanished after I uploaded some new photos from my camera to iPhoto.please help, how can I retrieve my photos from iPhoto.?

    You may be able to recover photos from a camera card with an app like MediaRecover
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

  • All my photos have gone from iPhoto is there any way i can recover them?

    I turned my laptop on and when i opened iphoto it asked me to create a new library as there was no existing one, therefore all my photos have disappeared. There are no photos in the trash and my laptop is a macbook pro and it's not old. Please help i had a lot of important photos!
    Thank you

    Download and run  Find Any File  to search for a file named "Library6.iPhoto".  There's one in every iPhoto library.  FAF can search areas that Spotligh can't, like invisible or system folders.  If there's a second iPhoto Library on your hard drive FAF will find it.

  • All photos NOT taken with my iphone have vanished from iphoto

    I have just found that all pictures in iphoto except those taken with my iPhone have simply gone. I have searched for them but they don't appear to be anywhere on the machine. Furthermore, I have two cameras that I have downloaded images from quite happily for years from and now my Macbook can't download from them. It doesn't recognise one and just says there's a fault and it can't download images from the other.
    Can anyone help? 

    The preceding reply is only accurate in part.
    You, too, can influence the way your photos look in an email message read on your friend's computer. You do not say how you enclose the photos as attachments, so I hope you are using the email button at the bottom of the iPhoto window (after having selected the one or more photos you wish to send). Clicking the email button should bring up a dialogue window, asking you to select the Size of enclosure you wish to send: using the drop-down menu, you can select between Small, Medium, Large, and Actual size. The size you select will depend on the eventual use that is to be made of the photos: if this is simply for viewing in the email message, then Small and Medium are appropriate; if the photos are to be viewed more closely, or printed at a relatively small size, then Large might be a better choice; if the photos are to be further processed, or printed in rather better quality, then Actual size is what is needed (actually, you might then simply prefer to send the originals).
    The other selection boxes in the dialogue window are to allow you to include textual information, embedded in the photo file(s). Such information should already have been entered in the Information panel in iPhoto for each photo. Usually, you can leave these selection boxes unchecked.

  • All my photos have disappeared from iphoto!!! I can find them in spotlight

    Hello All! Help!
    I was importing photos from a compact flash card into iphoto which was successful. I powered down for the night, the next time I opened up iphoto my entire library seemed to have disappeared(about 5000 images!) All that was left was the new import. It was as though the prog had reset itself there were no albums etc left at all. I understand that my photos live in the iphoto library folder in my pics but that about it! I have never understood the bizarre set up for these sub folders and how they work. Nor do I understand the other elements of the iphoto folder i.e. iphotodb etc. I noticed that I had two library folders as well and when I spotlighted jpg's that I have at least doubled up on images. Its a mess! Can anyone tell me exactly the way it should all be set up, in laymen's terms? Where the folders should live and in what order? And how to get rid of all the duplicate jpgs that have somehow been created? Without having to go through 5000 images by hand!!!

    Thanks for your response Terence.
    That is what I've done already. iPhoto could not open. After the hard drive and logic board were replaced (for other issues) and OS X Leopard reinstalled, I rebuilt the library manually, and now the same thing has happened again, iPhoto crashes on start up. iPhoto Manager did not fix it, iPhoto cannot rebuild its own library for some reason, and I don't want to have to repeatedly rebuild the library by hand having already done it once. I've noted other posts about keeping constant library backups, which I can start doing, but I was wondering if perhaps going to a newer version of iPhoto would resolve this issue. There are so many similar posts on here perhaps iLife 5.0.4 is really not compatible with Leopard. I would prefer to get this version of iLife to work instead of trying to upgrade.

  • All my Emails have vanished from my IPhone

    I have 2 other Email providers along with ICloud. Between the time I went to bed to when I accessed them the next morning, all of my emails within each of my other 2 email providers had disappeared.
    Any thoughts?

    Are the emails still on the server?  By this I mean if you check your email online, are all of your emails still there?  If so, you can attempt to delete your email account in Settings and add them again.  Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars will bring you to your accounts.

    I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem.  All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera.  Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library.  Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that.  To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
    I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it.  I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
    When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing  with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth.  This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it.  If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly).  How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
    Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

  • The PC that my ipod was connected crashed and i wanted to switch it to my laptop now..the question is will i lose all my pictures and notes from my ipod if i switch PC's or is there a way to make it stay since i have icloud backup on my ipod.

    hi...the pc that my ipod was connected crashed and i wanted to switch it to my laptop now..the question is will i lose all my pictures and songs from my ipod if i switch PC's or is there a way to make it stay since u have icloud backup on my ipod. i really dont want to lose my pictures so plz let me know if there is a way...thank you

    The iCloud backup does not include non-Tunes purchased music and photos that were synced to the iPod. The iCloud backup does not also included a few other things included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does also not included non-iTunes purchases and photos synced to the iPod.
    free programs like iFunBox with copy non-iTunes purchased music and some other things from iPod to computer.  A paid program like TouchCopy is needed to copy photos synced to the iPod to a computer.

  • How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

    How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices.  I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently.  Any ideas?

    Try looking in your User folder.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

    Hello,
    Why do you need to use the regasm utility from the post-build action?
    There is a difference between signing the assembly with a strong name and digital signature. The
    How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name article in MSDN explains how to sign an assembly with a strong name (.snk). See
    How to digitally sign a strong named assembly for adding a digital signature.

  • SCCM 2007 - All clients from primary site have vanished from central site collections

    Hi all,
    we have a SCCM 2007 R2 setup with one central site, one Primary Site (A) with a secondary site hanging off it and another Primary Site (B). Suddenly all the clients from the Primary Site A (and also it's Secondary Site) have vanished from the central
    site. All the clients are still present when we check Collections from the admin console on Primary Site A site server - they have simply disappeared when we check Collections from the Central Site admin console.
    Can anyone provide any info on a good starting point for troubleshooting this issue? As a sidenote, we can still push packages out to the Primary Site A distribution point and both the Primary and Central site can communicate/ping each other.
    Any help/info would be much appreciated!
    Thanks

    Check the
    site replication on central site, is that SQL is working fine, and also see the
    inbox folder in central site, might be there is backlog and those DDR files are
    not processing, and after maintenance they got deleted.<o:p></o:p>
    please run
    the heartbeat discovery by hour or day, and once the clients will sent all the
    DDR files then they will appears again.<o:p></o:p>

Please Help!!! My misuse will kill me if find out that we have no more videos from our honeymoon...
    You may need to prepare yourself for a "World of Hurt" from your wife...
    Since the average 0.9 megapixel JPEG photo file of normal graphic complexity stored at a high quality compression setting is 125-135 KBs in size, I would have to assume any QT video files you created of more than a fraction of a second in duration were most likely saved as "reference" files to only be 50-150 KBs. Basically, a reference file is q QT (MOV) file that tells a video player how to play data that is still stored in its original source file container(s). For instance, you could trim and merge a number of files together and save the result as a "reference" file that takes up very little room on your hard drive. Or, you could post fles to a server and create a "reference" file that is small enough to be sent as an email attachment that plays the uploaded data on someone else's computer as long as they are connected to the Internet. Unfortunately, for these reference files to work, all of the resources referenced within the file must continue to exist in their proper locations in order to be found and played by the reference. Since you did not indicate what "but they won't play" really means here or how you actually "moved" your iPhoto library files to the external drive, I can only make some "educated guesses" at this point. (BTW: for future reference, iPhoto has a built-in function that allows you to copy your library to one or more back-up locations and then connect to them by default when iPhoto opens or switch source libraries at will within the opened application.)
    If you created reference files and saved them to an external drive, you should be getting an error message telling you the app needs to know where the source files are located so the reference file can re-connect to the resource data. If the original files were also saved, then simple navigate to the source files in oder to tell the app where they are now located. If the source files were deleted as part of the reformatting process, then you are up the proverbial creek whithout a paddle with little or no hope of doing anything about this issue. (I.e., reformatting and then re-installing a system drive usually means you would have little hope of recovering the specific "lost" data you want as there is always a good chance that some of the data segments were overwritten during the process.)

    First of all, look in the garbage. It's easy to move a folder there without knowing it.
    Second, do a Spotlight Search (Cmd-Space), and search for a file you know should be there. If you find the file, there's a good chance that the other files you're looking for are there, too.
    If you're in kind of a crisis mode, coming up with pat advice probably isn't a good policy - but I suggest investing in a backup drive in case anything goes wrong. A program like Time Machine can be a life saver.
    Post with your results!
