  • I lost entire photo library in iPhoto.  How do I retrieve the lost library?

    I went to open iPhoto only to find my entire photo library was gone.  I have no idea how this has happened.  I backed up my photos on an external hard drive but cannot access them that way.  I keep getting a message saying it's a backed up version and I have to hit "option" while I open iPhoto.  That is not working either.  How can I find these lost photos?

    I keep getting a message saying it's a backed up version and I have to hit "option" while I open iPhoto.
    What kind of backup of your library do you have?  If it is aTime Machine backup, see this document:

    I went to open iPhoto only to find my entire photo library was gone.  I have no idea how this has happened.
    What did you do, before this happened?  Have you been updating or upgrading software?  Moved your iPhoto Library to a new location on external drives?
    Have there been crashes? which version of iPhoto or MacOS X do you have?

  • I have down loaded Mavericks on my MacBook and lost my photo library.

  • I'm running iPhoto '08 on an eMac G4 using OS 10.5.8 and have lost my photo library. Any ideas to help me "find" it--I know it is on the disk?

    I'm running iPhoto '08 on an eMac G4 using OS 10.5.8 and have lost my photo library. Any ideas as to how to find it and /or rebuild it? I know it is there on my disk.

    However, in pictures there seems to be a complete set of my photos(?).
    I'm don't understand what you're saying here.
    In the iphoto window I somehow managed to open a type of "photo library" that includes every photo I've every downloaded on my computer in multiple and entirely random order.
    This can happen if someone inadvertently drags the HD icon or even the home folder icon to iPhoto Window. The best soluion for that is to restore from your back up.

  • I recently purchased a song and my entire song library was deleted after it downloaded. The photos and aps are still there, but no tunes. Anyone know how to fix this? I have songs loaded on the ipod that I don't want to loose and they are not in MY itunes

    I recently purchased a song from itunes and when the song downloaded, it deleted/removed my entire song library. Only leaving the one song.
    My photos and aps are still there, but no songs. Anyone ever encounter this and how do you fix it? I  don't want to loose my songs as some are not in MY itunes library. Help

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

  • I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.

    . I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store 2 days ok, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.
    I was bought a Mac book pro as a birthday gift from the Apple Store in Leicester, after completing the initial set up procedure, I noticed that  the trash bin was full of some one's entire photo collection from 2003 to 2011.
    This is entirely unacceptable for Apple: How long have Apple been fobbing of consumers who believe they were genuinely purchasing a 'new' Mac book?
    How is it that I have someones entire photo collection on my 'branch new Mac Book Pro' - these photos included wedding photo's, birthday celebrations, family celebrations and children. Its a serious breach of data protection, it's an invasion of some poor persons privacy and private photo collection. What concerns me the most, is what could have happened if those photo's had fallen into the wrong hands. We managed to trace, locate and contact the person who the photo's belong to within 10 mins using information taken from their wedding album.
    Understandably these people are also very distressed that their personal photos are on my brand new Mac Book pro.
    I would like details of who to contact in regards this incident.

  • I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it.

    I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library (beta) is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it. It is especially frustrating given I have subscribed to more space yet I have to turn it off to view!

    I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

  • HT4927 all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??

    all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??

    We do need more information to help. Are the images gone from your iPhoto library, or is the iPhoto Library missing? How and when did this happen?
    If images are missing from the library: Did you check for hidden photos? Did you check the iPhoto Trash?
    If the pictures are still in the iPhoto Trash, open the Trash, select the images and and press the liitle arrow in the lower right corner - select "Put back".
    If the pictures are still in an "iPhoto" folder in the system Trash (with sub folders named by date), import these folders to your iPhoto library.
    Have you checked, if you have opened the correct iPhoto Library? Launch iPhoto with the options key held down, to select another Library.
    If the entire Library is missing, have you searched for ".photolibrary" with spotlight?
    Do have a backup?
    If none of these easy measures helps, report back with more details - your iPhoto version, and anything else that might be helpful to find out, what the problem is. Don't do anything that changes the contents of your hard drive for now.

  • Can I use icloud to safely store my entire photo library?

    I need to safely backup of entire iphoto library, so that I can open up storage space on my macbook.  Will icloud provide me with safe storage for my entire library?  I understand photostream pushes 1000 most recent photos to all of my devices, but what steps do I need to take to back up my entire photo library on my icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can't store the iPhoto library on iCloud. Photo Stream was designed as a sync service, and photos on Photo Stream are deleted after 30 days. You can use a different cloud service as Dropbox, but I recommend you to store it on an external drive

  • Loading entire photos library crashes

    The issue is the when I attempt to load my entire photo library from my iMac it crashes and goes back to the home screen.
    I am running up to date versions on all OS's and events and smaller albums in iPhoto or individual albums in finder all work fine,
    The issue is only when I go to the entire library (about 18000 photos) the screen sits on 'loading' for about a minute and just crashes back to the home screen.
    I have started getting the issue on a brand new version 3 device which had been working fine for a week. I reported it to Apple support who think it may be a hardware issue and suggested I should get a replacement from the vendor.
    However I also have a version 2 device in the bedroom which having checked yesterday (18th) also shows exactly the same symptoms.
    I emphasise the fact that I use this functionality almost daily and it was working fine until last Thu 13 March 2014.
    I am Calling Apple TV support again with latest issues today!

    Update
    Apple support have been working with me today and the problem is still not resolved. Here's what I've been up to...
    Apple suggested I carry out the following:
    Press Alt when starting iPhoto and create a new library.
    Chuck some pix in the new library and share with AppleTV
    RESULT: All worked fine and it would coz I only had 25 pix to view!
    Delete old Library and go back to original one.
    Next
    Press Alt+Ctrl when starting iPhoto and start a repair process one at a time in the following order...
    Repair Permissions
    Repair Thumbnails
    Repair Database
    This took a couple of hours and I still could not load my entire library.
    I then decided to re introduce my pix into Home Sharing 5000 at a time...
    5000 took 2 mins to load and worked fine.
    10000 took 3 mins to load and worked fine
    15000 took 4 mins to load and worked fine
    19000 took 2 mins to crash!!!
    I realise there is a lot of Pix in my library but I have never experienced theses issues before last week. It is without doubt a reduction in service caused by an Apple update.
    Getting back in touch with Apple Support....
    Case ID is: 589250523 if you need to use it as a reference.

  • Accidentally uploaded entire photo library - 18,000 photos - to one Book. How do I get them out???

    Help! I accidentally uploaded my entire photo library -- 18,000 photos -- to the Book I am working on. Now everything runs slow, and I can't figure out how to get them out quickly. It takes several seconds to just delete one photo. I don't want to delete the entire book, because I already spent a lot of time laying out 30 pages. How do I get rid of all the extra photos from the book?

    Four  choices
    1 - delete the book and start over
    2 - delete the extra photos in the book
    3 - resotore your backup from before you did this
    4 - leave them in the book and ignore the extras
