After Update to iPhoto 9.4.3 some pictures shown black

I'm working in a iMac with OSX 10.9.5. I've just updated my iPhoto with a newer version of iLife 11 to iPhoto 9.4.3 step by step as described here from Old Todd: running 10.9.5 OS X and iLife 11, now can't use iPhoto The capacity of the iPhoto library is around 180 GB with around 25.000 Objects. First everything seems to be fine. I could see all rolls, albums, calendar etc. But than i discovered, that in some cases, I could see the thumbnails but when I do a double click on it, I can only see a totally black frame. When I'm going to export that frame and look for the result, the original picture was exported correctly.
So, I tried to repair permissions and rebuild database. But this won't fix it. Than I tried to recreate thumbnails. After that, she the application is still open, everything seems to be fixed. But when I quit the application and open-up again, the same problem appears. Sometimes I can see the pictures for a second and they seemed to be squeezed somehow. What can I do? Any idea?
Thanks for helping.

I suggest that you read Terence's post in this thread and try the fixes he suggests

Re: After Update to iPhoto 9.4.3 some pictures shown blackin response to frank251 | This helped me
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key 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?

Sort problems in apple tv 2 events after updating to iphoto 9.2

After updating to iphoto 9.2 and iTunes 10.5 the following problem occurs in apple tv 2:
When I import new photos to iphoto on my new Mac Mini and watch them on apple tv 2, the according new event is shown in apple tv 2 as the last event on the very end (I sort fotos by name putting 201110..+day number on the beginning as event name in descending order). The older events do remaine in the correct order as before (up to an event called "20110924 Marriage ...". So I have to scroll down years on my apple tv 2 to reach the newest events. Only the newest events (since October "20111009 ...") are put to the very end. This is strange.
In iphoto itself everything is fine and in correct order.
I think it is a itunes or iphoto problem on my Mac Mini, because everything is still fine when watching photos from my MacBook Pro iPhoto Library via apple tv 2.
Does anybody have the same problem or know a solution? I already did all the "repair and rebuild things" in iphoto, but nothing helped.
Thanks!

Thanks for your helpful hint, but unfortunatly it did not solve the problem. I know, its rather difficult to explain:
I use the same order on MacBook Pro & Mac Mini (sorted by name in descending order). Both display the photos in iphoto correct as follows:
"20111009 London
20111008 Festival
20110924 Marriage
20110820 Summer
20110617 Italy
20110524 Spring
...etc...
20030101 Wintertrip"
But on apple tv 2 - only when using the Mac Mini as the source - the order is wrong like this (on apple tv 2):
"20110924 Marriage
20110820 Summer
20110617 Italy
20110524 Spring
...etc...
20030101 Wintertrip
20111008 Festival
20111009 London"
Using my MacBook Pro as source for the apple tv 2: everything is fine, the sort order on my apple tv 2 is correct. I imported "20111008 Festival" and "20111009 London" both after the update to iOS5, when I returned from London. I updated my Mac Mini, MacBook Pro and my apple tv 2 (ios5, iphoto 9.2 and iTunes 10.5).
I did another test and changed the sort order on the Mac Mini to be sorted by date and in ascending order. This had no effect to the way the photos are displayed on apple tv 2. The photos are still displayed wrong as described above ("20111008 Festival" and "20111009 London" are put to the very end). It seems, as if apple tv 2 does simple ignore the sort order given by Mac Mini. On apple tv 2 I have to scroll down to the very end to watch my Festival photos and my London photos.
I have two apple tv 2 and the problem is just the same. This is why I thought it might be a problem of my Mac Minis iphoto library or the way it is transmitted via iTunes.

After updation IOS5...face using some of the apps in my iphone

After updation IOS5...face using some of the apps in my iphone...sometimes apps clsed automatically...when try to double click home button...its hanged for several minute...sometimes phone got hanged....

I'm going to answer myself this posting since I had a chat with one of the Apple support person and that person resolved my problem. Basically in iTunes I clicked on the iTunes Store and on the right side of the iTunes, it shows the "Quick Links", so I clicked there and I went to "Purchased" and I downloaded "All" my apps and that pretty much fixed my problem with the exception that, I had to manually download from my own phone some apps but once I had all my apps updated and my phone configured in the way I wanted, I performed another "sync" and no more error messages. I'm posting this in case someone else have the same problem.

After updating to iPhoto 6, thumbs and photos are missing

I just updated from iphoto 5 to 6, installed off the iLife cd. iPhoto is displaying a grey screen with dashed boxes (that show the jpg names of the photos). When clicked, the enlarged photos show an exclamation mark"!"
I have trashed the program and reinstalled it and gotten the same result.
I have also relaunched with the option/apple keys and run OnyX to repair permissions and then restarted.
I did not mess around with my iPhoto library. All the photos exist in their original folders. I could reinstall them BUT I have some very nicely done photo books and albums I'd like to keep and many of my photos have been retouched. I have around 5000 photos I'm dealing with.
OF COURSE I did not Back up ILife before I upgraded. $%^&
Manually Imported photos from another folder are showing up fine. - Which makes me think that there is some database that thinks that all the other pictures are of a grey box ... is there a database that can be thrown out?

Well, I purchased and installed iPhoto Library Manager.
Unless I am missing some magic button, It doesn't seem to be the answer. All it does is move the selected phantom file references and then tells me that 0 files were moved.
I guess I get to manually add my old photos into the new "improved" iphoto 6 and forget about saving 2 years worth of albums and photo books.
II don't know if this matters, I was running my old billing program in system 9, which I shut down while updating the photo list.
Let this be a lesson, one I've learned too many times going back to 1985 MacII-1 simRam. BACK UP. Things have been running too smooth for too long. I got too comfortable. Its my own fault.

iPhoto is missing part of the substructure it needs to run. You need to reinstall.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

After updating my iPhone 3G to a some iOS, it says it doesn't support Viettel SIM. Please help.

I recently just upgraded the iOS of the the iPhone 3G that my father gave me. After updating to some iOS (it doesn't say the iOS) it says that it doesn't support "Viettel" SIM. If my father finds this out, I'm in big trouble. Why doesn't it support Viettel? My father's iPhone 4S does but why not my 3G? I really need help, the sooner you reply, the better. Please help me.

The iPhone wasn't hacked. So which highest iOS iPhone 3G can have? How can I downgrade when I cannot use the iPhone and iTunes?

IPhoto fail to import some pictures

Hi,
Just came back from a long vacation with around 600 pictures (I have a Nikon D70). After importing all of them directly in to the iPhoto application, it gives me the following error message, for 126 specified photos: ”unreadable files - the following file could not be imported”
All the rest of the pictures have been imported sucessfully as usual.
I have tried to put the JPGs that can not be imported on my desktop and I can see them fine in the preview program. However, when trying to import them into the iPhoto application from the desktop, I get the same error message. The relevant pictures have not been added to the iPhoto library in the finder either, so that can not be the cause for the error message
Can anyone tell me how I would be able to get these ”lost” pictures into my iPhoto???

Hi,
I have just purchased a Nikon D70S myself and have tried importing my photo's into iPhoto. I get the same error as you - iPhoto fails to import some photo's and I get the same error message. Have you been able to reslove this or does anyone know the answer?

Lost my Favorite Wallpaper after updating to 4.0.2 (Green Frog Picture)

Hi,
Has anyone found that after updating to 4.0.2 a lost wallpaper pic? I used to use the Green Frog Picture but now it is missing from the wallpapers. Is this correct? Has all my wallpapers been replaced with new ones from the new software?
Thanks
Adam

Sell it to someone in the U.S. ( where it can be used) and then buy one locally from an official seller.
Only AT&T in the U.S. could unlock it, but they do NOT do this.
There is no legit way to unlock a U.S. iphone.

Updated my iphoto and many of my pictures are gone! what do i do

Updated my iphoto because an icon appearred telling me to update and now all of my photos are gone.. how do i restore them?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

IPHOTO Library file will not open after update of iPhoto 9.6.1

I am trying to open up my IPHOTO Library in IPHOTO 9.6.1 with not success.
My computer is a Mac (27-inch, Mid 2011), 2.7 GHZ Intel core i5 processor, 8 GB ram, AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB graphics card, 1TB Hard Drive.
My iPhoto 9..6.1 appears to be created on March 16, 2015 and was modified on March 20,2015 which I assume is from a security update 2015-003.
My iPhoto Library was created March 22, 2012 and was last updated March 1, 2015. To the best of my knowledge, it has not been open since it was last updated. Unfortunately there are no current backups to the file.
When I launch IPHOTO the screen shows a rotating sprocket then after a period of time I receive a message:
Your photo library is either in use be another application or has become unreadable. Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your iPhoto library, to do this , quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
When I follow this am left with four items to chooses from: repair permissions, rebuild thumbnails, repair database, rebuild database. The first is selected and assume this is by default. I am not sure what the best choice is to select. Secondly since i have no backup of the file and I am not sure the file is corrupted, I started trying to create a copy on on an external drive however the file (192GB Size) new completes a copy routine. I considered a backup process which would take multiple hours.
Looking for direction.

1. make a back up. No matter how long it takes.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
2.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.

After updated to iPhoto 9.3.1 and I do not see any of my devices (iPod, iPhone...) in the source list and I need to take the pictures off of the devices into iPhoto.

iPhoto update does not let me see any of my devices (iPod, iPhone or iPod Touch) and I need to remove the pictures on some of these devices to free up some space for new pictures.
~Jeff

Go to iPhoto Preferences/General and make sure Connecting camera opens=iPhoto. Also, check and see if the devices are recognized by iTunes or Image Capture.

After update from iphoto to photos I can no longer play video by space button

It was very convenient before to play videos in my iphoto library by simply pressing space. After last update space is only minimizing them. Any idea how to set it up as it was?

What happens when you try?

Why can't I open photos after updating an iphoto Library on new computer?

I have saved a 13,000 photos from my old Mac onto a hard disc, and am now trying to import those photos onto a new Mac computer.
When I copied the 2012 iPhoto Library onto my new computer, a prompt came up to tell me that the Library needed to be updated in order to be used on this computer. So I followed the steps and it seems to have successfully updated itself. But see all the photos when I scroll through the Library... but, when I try to click to open it, I get a HAZARD sign -- triangle with a big exclamation mark.
Please, can someone advise how I get my old photos onto my new computer?
Thanks. Corinna

That sign turns up when iPhoto loses the connection to the actual file.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
