I had two iPhoto Libraries with different content (on an external drive). I had to erase one of the libraries, and it disappeared - as planned - in the paperbasket.
The other (untouched) library, however has now lost all Keywords, and it needs quite awhile (the ball is spinning "for hours") to build up all events (order still like before the keyword desaster.
What can I do to get the keywords back?
Börries
To be more clear: All fotos had been "imported to their foto libraries" by just standard means - no shifting no erasion etc. etc. just regular Upload in one of the two iPhoto libraries by "import".
"Or load your backup from before this happened"
This answer seems to be pretty close to a solution - but, I need help in a step-by-step-way:
My library is located on an external LaCie hard drive - which is to the best of my knowledge not covered by Time Machine. With other words: Time Maschine is not useful here. Is there another backup procedure (possibly from within iPhoto) which I could use to rebuild the keywords from an earlier backup. That would solve 99% of my problems and is fine.
Sorry for being so helpless, but it seems to me as if you had come quite close to a solution....
Best,
Börries

My PC crashed and I lost all my stuff, including i tunes account. How do I get purchased songs back?

Yes, I got that. My question was "are you using the same iTunes account to access music purchased from the Store?" I think your answer is "yes".

iTunes is not designed to do that. However, this user tip from tt2 may help you recover your music from your iPod, although it's not a simple process: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

I have an old ipod. It worked great until about 2 months ago and now it says I need to restore my ipod but I can't unless I format it, but everytime I try, it says the format could not be completed. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work again?
No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

I had to reboot my desktop computer to original manufacturers specifications and all my purchased Itune music was deleted from my computer. I didn't back up my itunes because they advertise they keep a record of your purchased music. I contacted Itunes and they have stated they only have a record of purchases made this year. I've been a member for ten years. Any ideas on how to get back my purchased music? Also, I have an old Ipod Nano that I haven't used for quite some time because the battery didn't hold its charge, and it has some of my older purchased music. Itunes said I can't get the music on my old ipod downloaded back onto my computer, any ideas on this?

I pad 2 won't let me play tv shows it played half of one, now it is just a blank screen and even when I reset everything and re open it it is the same. Please help
I don't know what resetting everything means to you, but try quitting the videos app and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesnt work - reset the iPad and try again. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Sometimes this works when the videos app goes black on you. Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK. -

I feel you. I am having the excat same problem and it is super-anoying.
I have also tried what that bot is suggesting, but I still can't add any webpages to the bookmarks toolbar.
Have you worked out a solution by now?

I have an iPhone 3gs and today it started just vibrating instead of ringing and vibrating. It also has no sound what so ever. None of the apps or games have sound and I was wondering if anyone has any clue as to what could have caused this and how I can fix it.

Unfortunately, no. Using Find My iPhone to put it in lost mode will not change a passcode that has already been set on a device.

I have two iPhoto libraries: one on the hard drive, and one on an external hard drive. I cannot access the iPhoto library on the external hard drive. Yes, it is plugged in!
How are you trying to access the EHD library? Can you open it by launching iPhoto with the Option key held down and selecting the EHD library in the window that appears?

I have a MBP 15" with Iphoto 9. When I right click on icon in dock 3 iPhoto libraries come up; one empty, one with 35,000 photos and one with 30,000 photos. How can I delete the empty library and merge the other two without getting duplicates?
You can delete the empty one by dragging it to the trash ( test everything before emptying the trash)
Merging libraries requires iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - it is the only current solution to merging libraries

I have just updated my iMac from Mavericks 10.9.5 to Yosemite 10.10.3.
I had two different libraries in iPhoto due to the amount of photos stored. In iPhoto I was able to click on File
and could select to Switch between either of the libraries.
Now in Photos on Yosemite it initially asked me which library and now that is the only library available to me.
When I go into my Pictures folder in the Finder it does not show my other Library.
I had about 60,000 photos stored in that library and now I can no longer find or access.
Please help. Thanks so much.I have just updated my iMac from Mavericks 10.9.5 to Yosemite 10.10.3.

Moving photos between two iphoto libraries
Is there any way to easily move photos from one iphoto library to another? We have two macs at home and my wife and I keep separate iphoto libraries on each one. Both computers are using iphoto '08 (version 7.1.2). I back up both libraries on an external hard drive. Recently my wife was traveling with one computer and I needed to access some pictures that were on it. The only way I could figure was to:
1) hold down the option key when opening iphoto on my machine, choose the library on the external
drive that had the photos I needed.
2) Then from within iphoto export those photos.
3) Then close out iphoto and reopen it with the library on my machine.
4) Then finally import the photos into the library on my machine.
Is there any faster and easier way to extract photos in a situation like this?Like Larry said, use iPLM to copy events or albums between libraries while keeping metadata, keywords, titles and descriptions, intact.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
