How can I get my iPhoto Library Back? The Library won't open, so I have no pictures.

It wouldn't show my pictures when iPhoto was opened, so I shut it down and restarted it. Now it won't show any of my pictures and I moved them from my photo booth so I have none of them anymore. Please, how do I fix this!

The best solution is to restore the library from a backup made just before this occurred. 
Baring that apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can I get settings files out of the Library folder?

    I had to do a clean reinstall (erase & reinstall) to clear up some problems on my Mac. Unfortunately, when you do this, your settings, customizations, bookmarks etc. aren't transferred over as they do when you upgrade in the normal way.
    For example, dashboard widgets are in each user's <home folder>/Library/Widgets folder.
    I could restore some of these settings by dragging the settings files from the old System Folder to the new one. Unfortunately, Apple is making this harder by hiding the Library folder in the user folder, both on the Mac and on the backup drive.
    There is a command to enter in Terminal to show your Library folder, but this only seemed to work on the Mac and not on my backup drive.
    How can I get key settings files out of the Library folder on my backup drive when the Library folder is hidden?
    Thanks

    Open the enclosing folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and provide Library as the path.

  • How can I get a "real" history where the sites won't get deleted when I open them again and I can track my browsing history in full detail??

    When I open a site the old entry in the history is deleted. How can I disable this feature? I need a full detailed history for my work. I do lots of research online and sometimes it's important for me to see which pages I visited on a particular day.
    For example:
    If I opened "http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/" yesterday and opened it again today I couldn't see it in Yesterdays history. I really need this feature for my work.
    Thanks for reading
    PS: On my other system I have a current version of Firefox (Win 7). Same Problem.

    This is entirely my complaint.
    I have to sit without useable internet for 5 days when there is no fault, before anyone does anything about it ? BT visit the village to do something for another customer, mess up my perfectly working broadband, and then refuse to do anything about it for 5 days. And I pay full price during that time. Let's just hope they don't come back to do something else within those 5 days !!!
    There isn't a fault with the line, it is perfectly stable. I just need somebody to use common sense and set the IP profile back to what it was.
    If the system is so clever, it could at least try moving off 135k to 512k say after an hour or so.
    I will try using that link though and see if somebody can do something !!
    Frustrated is not the word ! If I ran my business like this I'd have no customers left. I'm pretty sure that's not the first time somebody has posted that on here

  • How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?

    How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?
    I have a DHMTL page with a panel that I want to slide back and forth. But another part of the requirement is to have the panel look like it is sliding under another panel.
    The problem is that an applet is on the panel that slides. When the sliding panel move under the stationary panel the applet does not go under the stationary panel, but the reset of the sliding panel does render looking like it is sliding under.
    See below.

    --------------------------------------------------------Where @ is the applet. Notice how the applet is on top of the ^ but the panel under it, ^, is under like it should be. All the panels are 1x1 tables with a border. So how can I get the applet on the drawing shown with # and * to follow the rendering of the z-index of 2?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, and don't know how to solve it, So, i had tried to put my applet in a div tag wih z-index=0, but it still hide my other Dhtml divs with bigger Z-index (z-index =1000)
    Have you any idea to solve this.
    Thanks

  • How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Click Time Machine
    Click Options
    Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
    The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
    Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

    my iPhoto library is showing up as a package in finder rather than a library. How can I get it to show as a library again

    That can be an indication that there is no iPhoto app found in the Applicaiton folder to open the library with.  Make sure your iPhoto.app  is in the Applications folder and not in a sub folder.  Also make sure the app works as TD has already suggested.  If it doesn't you'll need to reinstall iPhoto.

  • How can I get my music from my Itunes library after I replaced my hard drive?

    How can I get my music from my Itunes library (purchased and downloaded (CD)) after I replaced my hard drive?  Same account name.  My other computer see's old and new music.  Can purchace new songs.  They show up by themselves.  Can connect IPOD and old songs show up.  Seem's like they are defined as different accounts.

    They will only be where you put them.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How can I get my audio book back on my ipad?

    How can I get my audio book back on my ipad?
    After syncing with itunes on the pc, my newly purchased audio books vanished from the ipad, and I can't copy it back! I've tried copying the audio book back into the library, but that didn't help.
    Also couldn't get iTunes on my iCloud! there was no where to select on the icloud dashboard so that I can add iTunes ... Help!

    Audiobooks are not currently available for repeat download from iTunes in the Cloud. Your audiobook should have transferred to your iTunes library when you synced your device.
    You will need to contact support through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I used to have a web page in mobile me and now is closed.  How can I get my webpage data back?

    I used to have a web page in mobile me and now is closed.  How can I get my webpage data back?

    Your web pages on MobileMe have been deleted. If you were using iWeb you wouldn't have been able to open them anyway.
    As long as you have the iWeb 'Domain' file in your user Library, or whatever the program you are using stores the information in, on your Mac you can publish to another hosting service - there are plenty to choose from. More information here:

    How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

    If the Migration Assistant won't do it, move them over as you would any other folder; they're located in the Pictures and Music folders of your home folder by default. The iPhoto library needs to be transferred via a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended or through an AFP network share.

    Yes, that's correct, it won't affect your account or your devices in any way.
    Use the delete account button in the iCloud settings.
    Then enter her iCloud details in the new screen that appears and log in. She should then be returned to the screen above but with her Apple ID at the top, enable the services she wishes to use and then tap the storage & backup option and ensure that iCloud backup is turned on.

    How can I get my 25 pounds back. It's been stolen from my itunes account to buy KingdomConquest stuff. I' ve been hacked via itunes - I had a prepaid card in there.
    I work in it, am very careful, and this is the first time since 1985 when i starter using i.t. That i've been hacked. Thank you apple. It seems like a very common problem with apple.
    What's the email address i should use to get my money back and report it ? As usual the apple phone lines don' t answer, an they make life as difficult as possible for anyone to gt redress.

    It's most likely not you, no matter what they say. I have noticed a LOT of fraud with itunes, even with my own account. One time I caught them doing a database restore. I know this because my password automagically reverted back to an old one! I'm an IT guy who helped design DOD classified networks in the mid-pacific. I know security. The best protection for this is to NOT have a credit card listed in iTunes. Use iTunes cards ONLY. It's a pain, but until they step up, it's all you got.
