After upgrading iPhoto only shows tumbrils

I recently upgraded to iphoto '11. At the beginning iphoto crashed or got stuck. After following the instructions in some discussion forums (Rebuilding library, reparing permissions etc.) iphoto loads, but it only shows the tumbnail photos. The regular photos are shown as empty (and so are the books), i.e. iphoto recognizes, that there is a photo, but it just shows a blank frame. I opened the library package, and the regular photos all exist.
Please help.

I checked now the log, which goes like this (shortened):

  • My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

    my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows  only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

    Details please
    What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
    i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
    Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
    my iphoto only shows  only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
    where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
    originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
    Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
    also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
    This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
    By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
    I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
    Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here  --  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US   --     and   --    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html   ---
    I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.
    This would be better addressed in the iDVD forum - but again unlesss yu share detailed information no one can assist

    After upgrading iPhoto on my MacBook Pro running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3 it continually keeps asking me that it is preparing library. This has happened 5 times now and I can't access my photo's through iPhoto, any suggestions?

    There is no upgrade to iPhoto with OS X 10.10.3 - here was an update to version 9.6.1 a few months ago and Photo 1.0 was added with 10.10.3 - what software and which version are you having trouble with - iPhoto or Photos?

    Good evening,
    after upgrading Iphoto 9.5 a page opened requiring to upgrade my library. As it did not work out,for fear of losing all my pictures I  loaded Iphoto 9.4.3  with Time machine but I had lost quite a few photos. As a matter of fact, after searching , I found them In Photo library in 'images' on my hard drive. When I double click, 9.5 appears with all my pictures. Therefore, I would like to use 9.5 just by by clicking on the icon down my finder and  not by being obliged to open my hard drive.
    Would you please tell me what I should do. Thank you.
    Best regards,
    Robert

    Huh?
    As it did not work out,for fear of losing all my pictures I  loaded Iphoto 9.4.3  with Time machine but I had lost quite a few photos. As a matter of fact, after searching , I found them In Photo library in 'images' on my hard drive. When I double click, 9.5 appears with all my pictures.
    So, you have restored 9.4.3 from Time Machine but can see all your pictures in 9.5?
    Do you have two version of iPhoto on your Machine?
    And if you didn't update the Library, ("as it did not work out,") how can you see things in 9.5?
    So, whatever set up you have is confusing.

    The large text size makes your post almost impossible to read.
    Excessive use of bold or capitals (also) makes posts difficult to read.
    You can drag most of the column headings left or right, or right-click on the header to turn columns on or off.
    Once you've used File > Display Duplicates or Shift > File > Display Exact Duplicates you can use File > Display All or the Display All button at the bottom of the list to restore the display.

  • IPhoto Only showing May/June 2008 Photos - 1993 - 2008 missing!

    I have my iPhoto library on my 1TB TC. It is about 25GB in size.
    When I open iPhoto it only shows the last two months photos the previous 15 years are missing!
    I do have it fully backed up on another drive at another house. But I am very concerned as to what has happened to this one.
    It looks like something happened a couple of months ago. The file is 25GB and if you open the package it has all the photos in date order under Data folder.
    How do I get iPhoto to re-open all the missing years.
    I am on the road for a few days from Sunday morning so if there are any suggestions I'll work them through when I get back.
    If anyone has any ideas on how to recover these photos it would be very helpful.
    Also, if anyone has any ideas on how I could manage these photos better I would appreciate it. The system worked really well when I could keep them all in folders in date order with a subject for each theme. iPhoto is helpful but gets really very slow indeed.

    I only have 2GB on my iMac 2GHz iMac maybe if I had more it would be better?
    That is way too low for reasonable performance. It's usually suggested you have a minimum of 15GB free space on the boot drive and more like 25 GB if you use iDVD. I think you'll see a big improvement in performance if you create more free space on the boot drive.
    One way to regain some real estate on the boot drive is to use Monolingual to remove the unneeded language modules. Be sure not to delete the English module or very bad things will happen. I've recovered up to 2-3 GB when I've run it on installations that have not been cleaned out previously.
    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.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Missing photos after upgrading iPhoto

    I recently upgraded iPhoto and now many of the  photos are not showing up, mainly the older ones, have I lost them for good? Any help appreciated

    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.

  • After upgrading iPhoto for Yosemite I have lost virtually all my photos in iPhoto.  What's going on??

    Help!  I recently upgraded to Yosemite OS on my iMac desktop.  I then needed to upgrade iPhoto which I did yesterday.  Now, when I open my iPhoto icon there are only about 100 photos left of probably about 1,000.  I should mention that all the photos WERE there at first but then I moved my iPhoto Library to the dock and when I opened it, most were gone.  Does anyone know how I can get my photos back???  Please help.

    Ok
    It is best not to move your iPhoto library around and there is no need to have it  available from the dock - leave the iphoto libraries in your uses folder - to sitc between libraries hold dow the option key while lunching iphoto - use the resuling select library window to select the library you want - it will remain your default library until you switch again

  • After upgrade iPhoto will not email using Gmail.  Message " Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."

    After upgrading on both computers at work and at home, iPhoto will no longer email using Gmail (or for that matter any email program I can find).  I've tried the fixes of deleting all accounts in iPhoto and re-entering.   Still doesn't work.  Any other ideas?

    Hi Scooter,
    I'm reposting my response to a similar question here.
    Try this, assuming you're using iPhoto 11 and Mountain Lion:
    Within the iPhoto application, click on iPhoto in the menu bar
    Click on Preferences
    Within Preferences, click on Accounts
    Your Gmail account should be present. Click on Gmail under Accounts.
    Put in the proper information. Your full gmail address is your username (put this under Email address). Outgoing Mail Server is smtp.gmail.com   Port is 465   Password is your password.    Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) should be checked.
    Upon making these changes, click on the red "close" button in the top left corner of the pop-up window. Choose to Save Changes.
    Close iPhoto.
    Reopen iPhoto. You should now be able to share photos.
    I hope this helps. One suggestion for you, by the way. It's always best to include the application version and the operating system version you're using when asking for help. The above solution will not apply, at least exactly, to anything other than iPhoto 11 and Mountain Lion.
    Cheers,
    Jeff

  • Frequent crashes after upgrading iPhoto

    I've been using Lion for a good while now with not much problem at all.  About 5 days ago, I upgraded my RAM from 4 to 8GB.  Then I upgraded iPhoto to the latest version.  Had trouble with that, but used the iPhoto Library Manager, and have it functioning now.
    BUT, the computer is frequently locking up.  Sometimes a spinning ball that doesn't stop. Sometimes just unresponsive to commands.  I have only been able to switch users once successfully since this started...  No error messages. I have the latest Lion (11B26).
    Latest freeze that required a reboot was just trying to attach a screen shot of how my hard drive is filled (system properties?)...  Finder locked up and I used the force quit window and asked it Relaunch, but it closed and wouldn't launch again...
    Ideas of where to look for problems???

    At some point or other you - or someone - installed an Unsanity hack on that machine and it remains at
    /Library/InputManagers
    What's not clear is if this is HD/Library or the Users/Library

  • IPhoto only showing most recent version in time machine

    When I access time machine with iPhoto open, I get the current iPhoto screen, and then a series of blank screens behind it.  The date bar to the right shows that I should have backups as far as Feb 2012.  If I mouse over to them, they zoom out to show exact dates.  If I click on one of these dates, nothing happens.  I gave it 5 minutes sitting quiety just in case it was having trouble loading all the photos.  No dice.  The photos are in fact on the time machine backup drive, as I can access them manually by going to the specific backup set, finding iPhoto library, show package contents and navigate to the picture I want.  So, it's there... just can't get to it via TM. 
    Any ideas on this one?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Move your cursor to the extreme left of the iPhoto Window until it becomes a ‘+’, then click and drag right.

  • Funky bluetooth keyboard after upgrading iPhoto, Garage Band etc an hour ago

    I upgraded iPhoto etc. an hour or so ago. Since then, my Apple Bluetooth keyboard has been behaving strangely (can't make a capital I  using the left shift key; clicking on a document makes it scroll out of control). Help.

    Ok, I've resolved this on my machine, at least for the time being.
    Here is what I did. I am not advising anyone else to do this and I am in-no-way stating this will fix your problem. I'm just relaying what worked for me. If anyone chooses to try this then it's on their own head!
    I opened my Mac Mini and located the Bluetooth circuit board just in front of the rear power button. I removed the small phillips screw holding the board in place and noticed that the connector that connects the board to the main motherboard was not seated well. I removed the connector and reattached it, making sure I felt the 'click' as the connector was pushed home.
    I had also read on the net that the routing of the bluetooth ariel cable may cause problems due to interference from the USB ports. I took the opportunity to extract the ariel and run it over the disk and away from the USB ports. Before putting the lid back on I booted up to check Bluetooth was working again.
    So, I now have my Mac Mini with Bluetooth working again. We shall see how long this lasts - perhaps the root cause was a loose connection, in which case it may be fixed permanently now. I shall report back in a few weeks.
    Be aware that opening your Mac is going to invalidate any warranty. Mine was out of warranty anyway so I was not bothered. I've also got a degree in software and electronic engineering so know my way round the insides of computers. Please make your own assessment of your level of expertise before deciding to try what I did. It may not work for you anyway!
