Accessing slideshows (which had missing photos) causes iphoto crash

I have rebuilt the entire library and tried CTRL click and delete. I still can't click or delete about 6 slideshows...any action on or access to these causes iphoto to crash.
I lost photo's about 4 months ago.....found them again...but the slideshows still cause crashes.
Any advice out there?

Hi rsgaither.
I gather you imported the photos back in but the data for the slideshows is not reflecting what you have now.
If the rebuild doesn't help then try creating a new library, which will also create new data files. (In essence you are starting all over)
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

  • Some, not all, missing photos in iPhoto.

    Missing photos in iPhoto.
    I’m using a Mac Pro, 2.8 GHz, 16m Ram, OS 10.6.8, iPhoto 9.2.3
    I’ve seen many posts similar to this, however my problem is somewhat different…
    All was fine prior to last weekend, however, when I needed some of my recent pictures yesterday they were missing, however there were still old photos, the last event date they showed was June 3 2011. I have tried various ideas, from previous experience with Macs (been using them since the mid 90’s) and ideas from the support forums. Just to add to my misery I then found all my recent projects in iMovie have done exactly the same thing, all recent movie projects had gone yet everything prior to Jul 22 2012 was there.
    Anyone out there have any ideas, I have a majority of items backed up, thankfully, I’d just like to know what’s happened!

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    Please see the bold.  If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
    If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

  • Missing photos in iPhoto '08 v. 7.1.3

    This is hardly a "new" topic on this discussion but after trying every recommendation I have been able to find, I am still no further forward so would appreciate any other suggestions that might be forthcoming.
    When iPhoto is launched it shows, at the foot, 17,528 items. Click on a thumbnail and one of two thing happens: either, and this is the good one, the photo launches normally or, and this is the other, up pops the greyed out area with the exclamation mark. If I understand that correctly it either means that the original photo is "missing" or that iPhoto is unable to link to it.
    An Info check on the iPhoto library shows 12.86 GB. However, on the originals folder only it shows 5.49 GB for 7,506 items.
    I have tried all the rebuild facilities offered by iPhoto. No change.
    I have installed iPhoto Library Manager and tried to rebuild the library using that: it hangs, showing "getting photo information"...which it doesn't. I had to close it using Force Quit.
    I have used the "extract photos" facility in that program - it tells me that 5,589 photos have been extracted.
    None of the figures tie up - and I'm not even clear if they are supposed to do so.
    The real mystery to me is that the "missing" photos seem entirely random: in a group of, say 10, photos which were imported together 1 or 2 might be missing, all might be, none might be. There is just no discernible "pattern" to the problem.
    So, two questions, really: (1) any bright ideas as to what to try next or what might be causing this and (2) if my library is terminally corrupted then it seems to me I should start a brand new library using the extracted photos as the basis then add others from CDs and DVDs, but in doing so is there a way of avoiding duplication?
    Thanks in anticipation...

    To create a library from scratch - which is what you need to do as you do have a damaged library:
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Mass Deletion of Photos Causes iPhoto '09 to Crash

    I have about 75,000 pictures. Yeah, waiting on Faces was fun...
    Anyway, I decided to break up my library into two libraries.
    When I try to delete about 35,000 photos out of the duplicated library, iPhoto works REALLY hard for about an hour, then the processors (iStat menu) just show idle activity. iPhoto stays exactly as it was, but is neither using the processors or HD.
    I force quit and then reopen it. The photos are still in the Trash. Nothing seems to have been done.
    I've rebuilt everything on iPhoto startup (except the nice 'From Backup' option).
    I've been dwindling it down to see what amount of photos doesn't cause iPhoto to anuerize (yes, I made it verb). So far, deleting 5,544 will still cause the freeze.
    Any suggestions other than deleting 100 at a time or keeping it all in one library? It should have taken 15 minutes at the most to get both libraries up and running, not a day-and-counting!
    Anyway, thanks in advance.

    Note that I said "when IPLM is updated to '09"
    it currently has some functionality with '09 but can not move photos - from the IPLM update page
    iPhoto ‘09 initial compatibility report
    Posted on January 27, 2009 by Brian Webster
    Well, I’ve had a chance to try out iPhoto ‘09 for a couple hours now, and here are the notes I have so far regarding compatibility with iPhoto Library Manager:
    Viewing and switching between existing libraries works fine. iPhoto will prompt you to upgrade your library to the new version when you first open a particular library. Note that after you upgrade a library, you will no longer be able to open it in earlier versions of iPhoto.
    New libraries created using the current version of iPhoto Library Manager won’t work the first time you open them in iPhoto. For now, hold down the option key while opening iPhoto and use its interface to create a new library if you need to create one. You can then use the “Add Library” button in iPhoto Library Manager to add the library to iPLM’s library list, after which you can use the library normally. This will be fixed in the upcoming iPLM update.
    As expected, advanced functions such as copying albums between libraries and merging do not work and will produce an error message. Rebuilding a library will also not work, although the “Extract Photos” function should still work OK. Trying to use these features won’t result in any harm, they just won’t work. Again, these issues will be fixed in the upcoming iPLM update.
    iPod Folders appear to work with no problems with iPhoto ‘09
    So, that’s what I have for now, I’ll be continuing to test things out and will post any updates on this page. I’ll then be starting work on updating iPLM to fix any of the issues that come up with iPhoto ‘09. That will be a free update for all users, so if you have purchased or plan on purchasing a copy of iPLM, you will be able to update for free when it is available.

  • How do I recover missing photos in iPhoto 11?

    HI!
         I recently upgraded to iPhoto 11 (from iPhoto 9, I believe). There are 12 photos missing from  the 'Photos' section of my library. There are dashed lines around the locations where the photos should be (it is a sequence of 12 pictures), so I assume the originals are in the iPhoto Library somewhere. How do I have the placed back where they should be?
         Thanks for your help.
    Doug Chisholm

    Give these two fixes a try  to see if they can recover those missing photos.  But be sure to have a backup of your current library in case the results are not to your liking:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    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
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: 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.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Missing photos in iPhoto 6

    I don't know what happened, but I am missing a lot of photos from iPhoto 6. I have an albumdata.xml file on my desktop, I don't know how it got on the desktop, but I am guessing that is my problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • IPhone sync - restoring missing photos in iPhoto from the phone

    I have recently restored from a Time Machine backup, and several recent photo imports are now missing from iPhoto. (Yes, I have tried to rebuild the library, but they are still missing.) The photos still exist on my iPhone, but when I plug it in, it only allows me to import from the 'Camera Roll' album, and not the 'Photo Library' album, where the missing photos still exist. So:
    Question #1 - If I allow iTunes to perform a photo sync, will it replace the whole 'Photo Library' album, thereby deleting the photos that only exist on my phone? Or is this a two-way sync, which would happily reinsert my missing photos back into iPhoto? (Wishful thinking I'm guessing).
    Question #2 - Is there a way to pull those photos from the iPhone manually, so I can re-import them into iPhoto?

    Yes and Yes (using third party software or emailing them, or uploading them) but remember that the ones on the iPhone are compressed optimised versions just for the iPhone display - not the originals.

  • Photo stream causing iphoto crash

    Hi,
    maybe somebody here will be able to help me as I am going crazy with it.
    everything used to work fine, it didn't happen after any update, as far as I can tell, simply one day my iphoto crashed and it keeps crashing after few seconds after launch ever since. one thing that 'helps', though it is not really a solution, is turning off photo stream. with that off it works fine. as I need iphoto solely for photo stream, it doesn't really get me anywhere.
    I followed some wisdom found on the net that this behaviour is caused by some 3ivx codec, but removing all components of that didn't change matters one bit. I've also deleted the library, the plist files, created new libraries, rebuileded permissions and did everything else, including reinstalling the software itself, all to no avail.
    I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

    is this enough?

  • Access figures which are not part of iPhoto

    Hello,
    as a MAC rookie, I have a question which has been potentially asked already many times.
    I want to import a picture or a figure into keynote / numbers / pages and the figure is not part of iPhoto.
    When I open 'Media' I can only access pictures and figures which are in iPhoto. See screenshot below.
    How can I access files which are stored somewhere else?
    Thanks!

    The Media browser is just one option. It collects all the info stored in iMovie, iTunes, iPhoto and displays it in one place.
    From the Insert menu (in Pages), select "Choose..." and navigate to the file. Or, do something really Mac-like and drag the picture from the Finder into the program.

  • Missing photos in iPhoto's Photo Stream

    Sometimes I take photos around my construction site, I got a MBP inside my office connected to Internet (sometimes intermittent), when I get in the Wifi area mi iPhone uploads it to Photo Stream with no problem. Issue is when I open iPhoto in my MBP, I am missing one photo, so I got to turn off Photo Stream in iCloud preferences and turn it back on and it downloads all photos again, isn't there a way to force it to sync so instead of downloading all again, it only download the missing photo?
    Thank you.

  • Lost photos as iphoto crashed- how do I get them back?

    As I was downloading my photos from my exilim camera, iphoto crashed and I lost my photos. I pressed the download and delete from camera button as I usually do- so there aren't any files left on the camera. Can I open one of those files in the picture library that I have no idea what their function is about and find my photos?? Are my pictures possibly hidden somewhere. Please help!!
    Powerbook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Isaac:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The photos in your library are in the User/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals folder. What happened is that the crash damaged the Library6.iPhoto database file, causing iPhoto to think there are no photos in the library.
    You'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder and subfolders into the new library. Move the current library folder to the desktop and launch iPhoto. When it asks you what to do select "Create library". Then drag just the Originals folder from the library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window. That will give you the same rolls as was in the old library but no keywords, comments, albums, etc.
    To recover the files in the camera you can try MediaRECOVER. You can run it in the Demo mode to see what photos it will be able to recover before you commit to purchase.
    In the future for insurance against the occasional iPhoto database corruption that you experienced I recommend that you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 you your library back. With that in mind by keeping it current I mean backup after each import and after any serious editing or creating that you might do in the library like making books, slideshows, 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.
    Do you Twango?

  • Scrolling down album list in iPhoto causes iPhoto crash

    Scrolling down to bottom of the album list in the sidebar in iPhoto causes iPhoto to lock-up with the spinning ball or crash altogether, any suggestions?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Missing photos from iPhoto sync in iTunes to iPhone

    iTunes is not recognizing the correct number of photos in some of my iPhoto events. Some events are showing as having 0 photos in them, others are showing far fewer photos than the event actually has.
    After some digging I found a pattern: the problem only affects "referenced" events, i.e., events where the master copies of the photos are in folders outside of the iPhoto Library. In my case these are mainly older events for which I already had folders before I started using iPhoto. For these events, iPhoto maintains an alias in the library to the original file. The original files are all there, available and editable within iPhoto.
    If I edit a photo in one of the affected events, it then appears available for sync in iTunes, presumably because once edited, the modified photo is stored in the iPhoto Library.
    To summarize, iTunes does not recognize any iPhoto photos which are stored outside of the iPhoto Library folder (referenced), unless that photo has since been edited in iPhoto.
    I'm using Lion 10.7.2 and the latest versions of both iPhoto and iTunes, syncing with an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1.

    I've resolved the problem, and it wasn't pretty.
    It starts with iPhoto 8 ('09) on my iMac. This library had a bunch of "referenced" photos, ie, photos whos image files were outside of the iPhoto Library folder. In iPhoto 8 this was handled by creating an OS X alias file in the Originals folder within the iPhoto Library folder.
    Then I wanted to move my library to my new MacBook Air running Lion and iPhoto 9 ('11). Forgetting that I had referenced files in my library I just copied the iPhoto Library folder from my iMac to my MacBook Air as the Apple support docs say (they don't mention anything about referenced files). Of course the referenced files were not copied to the MacBook, but everything appeared to be OK.
    Start iPhoto 9 on my MacBook and it upgrades the library. It can't find the referenced images of course, but there's no warning or anything. iPhoto 9 has a totally different folder and database structure. All the information it needs about where to find an image is now in the Library.apdb SQlite database file in iPhoto Library/Database/apdb/. In that db there's a table called RKMaster which stores the info about each photo. RKMaster has a column called imagePath which is where the full path of the original image file is supposed to go. However, since my referenced images were not available during the iPhoto library upgrade it just set these all to "Masters/<image file name>", and stored the alias information from the iPhoto 8 database in a BLOB column called fileAliasData. When I worked out the referenced files were missing I copied them over to my MacBook, and the iPhoto was miraculously able to find them again because of the information in the fileAliasData column in the database.
    However, iTunes and other apps that link to the iPhoto library don't access the iPhoto Library database directly. They use a file called AlbumData.xml in the iPhoto Library folder. iPhoto 9 re-creates this file every time you close iPhoto. Unfortunately, what it uses to build the full image path for putting in the XML file is what's stored in the imagePath column in the database, which by now is basically garbage. iPhoto can see all the files OK, but nothing else can.
    The only solution was to painstakingly fix the RKMaster records for all my referenced files so that they pointed to the correct place. I took the opportunity to copy the files to the iPhoto Library folder in the process so that now all my images are in the iPhoto Library folder. This implied setting fileIsReferenced to 0 and fileAliasData to null for those records aswell.
    Now I finally have everything working again, but it was a very long and tedious process that can only be done with some knowledge of SQL databases. Apple should really warn people about this potential problem when advising on how to move your iPhoto Library.
