After downloading photos all new events went empty

I loaded all my photos from my WD backup (PC) on to my new MacBookPro (IPhoto). All went well, and after labeling names on faces I lost all pic in each event loaded. Events have names and dates of pic, but are all empty.
Can someone help me??
Thanks

backup your iPhoto library, depress teh option and command keys, launch iPhoto and use the resulting first aid window to repair repair permissions, if needed repair the the database - if that does not do it rebuild the database

On what exactly? Your computer?
Do you have a backup off the machine that's stable?
Now your files are still likely there, it's just a naming issue or a PRAM/SMC problem for power and a cache corruption issue for the files.
If you don't have a backup of your files, copy everything you can to a external storage drive and disconnect it.
Next run trhough this list of fixes, I suspect the SMC/PRAM reset will help with the power issues and the #12 OnyX cache cleaning routine will set your folders right.
Remmeber after the PRAM reset to set your time and date correctly. Pehaps that is what s throwing off the date on the folders?
It's really hard to figure your problem out with the information provided.

Again your files are likely very much still on the drive, you can recvoer anything as long as it hasn't be secure erased or overwritten by new data yet
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive

After downloading photos from my Nikon, I accidentally deleted them from the card. The photos are in IPhoto. Can I recover them to the camera card?

Probably -will your card mount to the desktop? If not you will need a card reader - select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder - mount the card to the desktop and drag the photos to the corredct folder on it

HT1657 I had rented a movie on my IPhone5 and after downloading almost all of it, I get an error that there is no enough space. Why doesn't the store check to see if I have enough free space before proceeeding with the order?

How do I get a refund?

Well, with apps genneraly you do get told ahead of time. I'm not sure of the current algorithm with movies though.
Why not just clear up some space? You can check your usage in your settings btw.

All iPhoto events appear empty in "Event" view

When I view my iPhoto 11 library by "Events", I get the usual listing of all my events, and I am able to scroll through the preview pictures at this level within the individual small Event icon. The key photo shows as normal. However, if I double click on an event, the event comes up but without any photos showing, not even an empty grey window frame for each photo. The name of the event shows correctly but on the top right corner it simply says NO PHOTOS.
Now the strange thing is that if I view the library by "Photos" or "Faces" or via Albums etc, I see all my photos and they all appear to be in their corresponding events as normal. I can even right click on one of my photos and click "Show Event" and then the correct event comes up with all the photos showing. But if I then go back to "All Events", I will see all the events but if I select one (even one I have just viewed), it will then say NO PHOTOS.
I have deleted the plist files (included the "locked" ones) from both iPhoto and Aperture but this doesn't resolve the problem. I've also done a "Repair Permissions", "Rebuild Thumbnails" and "Rebuild Database" from the iPhoto First Aid menu (Opt-Cmd Click when opening iPhoto) and none of these have fixed the problem!
I just recently started using Aperture to view the same Library and I have no problem viewing the "Projects" (which is the same as Events in iPhoto) in the normal way. I have a feeling that this problem started only when I first opened the iPhoto library in Aperture.
Any ideas?

You don't need to purchase iPLM to use it to rebuild the library. But try this first: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ 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.

IPhoto downloaded photos into an event and now they don't show up. They were deleted off the camera under the assumption they were in my library now I don't have anything. Does anyone have any useful advice?

I downloaded photos from my camera to iPhoto 11. They were accepted as a new event. I deleted off the camera disk. Now, after going back into the events folder, the photos are not there. Does anyone have some useful advice? I've lost about 200+ photos...

You can recover the shots from the Card with an app like MediaRecover
As for the Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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. .

Deleting after downloading photos

How come sometimes iPhoto asks if you want to delete after downloading and other times no? Is there somewhere in preferences that is a surefire way of deleting instead of having to trawl through it manually when it doesn't give you the option?
Thanks.

Make sure that all of the years are selected in the source pane. (In the column to the left) click on the triangle next to the word "library" so that you can see a list of years below it. Be sure that all of the boxes are checked (each year, plus "early photos"). As long as they are all checked, you can either leave them visible or click the triangle beside "Library" to conceal them. If you don't have all of the years checked then the word "Library" will have an X by it, and some of your roll options are not available. Once you have done this, the X is removed, and you have the option to create a new film roll or smart album.
Then go to the View menu and choose "Sort Photos" > by Film Roll. Do you see any roll titles in the main viewing area - the big window to the right of the source pane? Even if all your photos are in the same roll, you will see the title of the roll above the thumbnails, and the number of photos in the roll on the right side of the screen across from the roll's title. [Try moving the thumbnail slider all the way to the left to make your photos as small as possible.] As TD said, rolls do not show up in the Source Pane. There you see Albums, Folders, Smart Albums, Books, and Slideshows... but never Film Rolls. Can you find yours?

HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE TO DOWNLOAD PHOTOS TO NEW PHONE?

HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE TO DOWNLOAD PHOTOTS TO NEW IPHONE 5?

THAT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY PHOTOS YOU HAVE AND WHAT TYPE OF TRANSFER PROCESS YOU ARE USING. HOW ARE YOU TRANSFERRING THE PHOTOS OVER?
See how annoying it is to use All-Caps? It's considered shouting on the Internet to use All-Caps. Please don't do that.

How do I know it is okay to disconnect my camera after downloading photos

When I download photos from my SLR to my iMac using Aperture 3.1.3 is there anything I need to do to disconnect my camera after the download?
Usually there is an okay to disconnect message or button to ejec. I do not see anything on Aperature that it is okay to disconnect.

Just pull the plug. It's OK.
Aperture (and OS X) will see a card reader as a drive and mount the drive, and you will get an "Eject Card" button. That's not how it works with a camera. After you have imported your photos, you'll click something on the "Aperture has imported ## photos" dialog, and then it's OK (and recommended) to disconnect the cable. (Leaving the cable connected drains the camera battery.)

After downloading photos from my camera I am now unable to view previous photo albums

Upon receiving my new iPad 3 I sne t photos from my previous PC via email to enable me to save them on the iPad. I created them into various albums and since then I have photo streamed photos from my iPhone.
then I downloaded photos from my husbands phone using connector and ever since then I can only find his downloaded photos and those photo streamed ones. I cannot find my other 4 albums and am desperate to view them again as one album is of my daughters recent wedding.
can anyone help me as I am rather a novice in using computers etc....but loving the iPad

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Missing iphoto pics after downloading photos from iphone

I downloaded photos from iphone to iphoto and now the only photos that appear in the iphoto library are the ones I just downloaded from the iphone, not any of the earlier ones. There is only one iphoto library to open. I was able to get all of the earlier photos back by option clicking the library but now the ones from iphoto are missing, despite there only being one iphoto library to open. How do I unite them?

This is likely the case. The only time I see double libraries is when I "Show package contents". Then there is a "library" (which has all the pics) and a library.photo and a library6.photo. Both look exactly the same as the real photo library but neither can be opened.
I can retake the pictures - it's only 20 or so now and recent too - I just wish I knew what had happened so that it wouldn't happen again!
Thanks for all of the help!

You need to define "isn't working" if you expect an intelligent response. We have no idea what that means... What happens when you try?
FIY, no one from Apple is going to respond. This is a user to user forum. Apple does not participate here.

After downloading ios6 my data use went thru the roof. i am at 199mb. Never used over 40. what is causing this?

After downloading IOS6 my data use soared to 199mb. I never have used more than 50 in a month. I have an iPhone 4 and 4S, it only happened to the iPhone 4 that my wife uses as a phone away from WiFi. Stan

also, this article applies to iPhone 5, but maybe it's starting to affect 4's?

New events are empty, should contain photos

This morning, I downloaded a bunch of vacation photos to iPhoto. I created several events (which are showing in iPhoto) and I even used some of the photos this morning in a printed document. Since then, my husband signed onto the mac mini as a guest...and then I agreed to the iTunes update this morning. Now, the events are showing in my library but no photos are included in any of them. And of course I deleted the photos from my cameras. I have iPhoto 11 and a mac mini running Mac OS X version 10.7.5. I'm not well versed in computer language, but I'm really hoping to figure out what the heck happened to my photos. Any help is greatly appreciated!

After downloading iTunes all my music files are in pieces

Hello,
is there anyone you knows how to solve this issue. I downloaded the current basic iTunes and gave Apple the permission to view my music files. The result is that almost every music file is now incomplete, for instance there will tracks from 1 to 20 but strangly track 3 , 6 and 13 will be missing. Instead I have to search around and finally find a file called 'unknown artists' in which I would find the specific album again but only containing the tracks 3, 6 and 13. That is highly unconvenient and I don't understand why.
All the albums I'm talking about are CD's I bought in shop and just copied on my laptaop (toshiba using vista windos media player)and where fine before iTunes came along.
Any clue would be appreciated.
Anthea

same problem here... i've done google search after google search and i have no idea how to fix it.
anybody out there have a real solution? my ipod's basically dead and i was thinking about getting a new one, but i'd need the new itunes.. which doesn't work.
