After upgrading to iphoto '08 version 7.1.4, some photos have disappered !!

Today as usual i imported photos from my camera to iphoto library, and it was successful like always. And about half hour later, the message for software updates for iphoto pop up, so i click yes. Then after upgraded, i re-open my iphoto library, the photos i imported before the upgrade have disappeared And then it shows my last import as 18 Jun 2007, but i have imported photos few times in between 18 Jun 2007 and today, and now all photos between these two period has disappeared.
Why has this happened ?
Please HELP ......... as i really really need my photos back

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You have a damaged database file.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new 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.

  • After upgrading to iPhoto 11 I can't view my photos

    Yesterday I upgraded my iMac's OS to Lion, and iPhoto 11.  Now when I open iPhoto all my events are there but you can't see them.  There are NO images. I have tried restoreing from my time machine, but I think I'm doing something wrong. Please help!!!!!!

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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.

  • Can't open my photo library after upgrading to iPhoto 11.  is it possible to load iPhoto 9.0.1 after loading 11?  have followed all other instructions but it still won't let me open iPhoto.

    can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11.  Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11.  Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.

    when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version.  We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
    When we try to open iphoto is says:
    To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
    To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
    We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto. 

  • Directory structure after upgrade to iPhoto 6

    After upgrading to iPhoto 6, it appears that my photos were copied from the old, date-based structure into a new directory structure, but the old structure was left behind.
    What is the layout of the new structure, and can the remaining old structure be discarded at this point?
    Thanks for any insight you might be able to offer...

    The new structure organizes photos into Originals and Modified folders. There is a third folder called Data that contains thumbnails created for the photos (smaller pictures used for better performance). These three are essential for iPhoto 6 to work.
    Each folder contains a folder for each year (a year folder is created if you have even one photo from that year, e.g. a photo from 4/3/2004 will create a folder called "2004" and any other photos from that year will then be placed within it.
    Every import creates a serially numbered Roll folder within the year folder. So if you import photos including IMG_234.jpg from 4/3/2004, for example, the location of IMG_234.jpg will be:
    iPhoto Library/Originals/2004/Roll 1/IMG_234.jpg
    And Roll 1 will have other photos imported in the same session. If you modify the photo within iPhoto (enhance, retouch, etc), the modified copy will exist in:
    iPhoto Library/Modified/2004/Roll 1/IMG_234.jpg
    The Data folder will contain a thumbnail for the image in the same path as the Originals:
    iPhoto Library/Data/2004/Roll 1/IMG_234.jpg
    So inside the iPhoto Library folder, you will see some files and those three folders with their sub-structure folders. Other things within the top level of the iPhoto Library folder, are leftovers from the previous structure - such as a folder called "2004" or "2005" that ISN'T inside Originals, Data, or Modified folders.
    PhillyPhan's advice is sage. Don't mess with the insides of the iPhoto Library. However, I did verify on my own system after I upgraded, that year folders at the top level of the iPhoto Library are from previous versions of iPhoto. So you could move those, and those only, to a separate folder on your HD. I moved those off to a DVD-ROM and haven't seen problems since.
    Remember: Don't touch any files, and don't touch anything within Data, Originals, and Modified folders.

  • I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! What is wrong?

    I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?

    I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
    You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
    The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner

  • After upgrading to the latest version of IOS 6.1.3

    after upgrading to the latest version of IOS 6.1.3 iphon's battery began discharging faster. Even at night, when the flightmode is on and all applications are off, it discharges on 20 percent.

    thank you sir for the helpful reply, if my iphone 4 was hacked ,can a mobile shop in philippines rehack it again ? but this time with iOS 6.1.2? I dont know the term but one thing I know was I didn't need to open it here in the philippines cause when I put the simcard inside the iphone it worked and everything was fine, I could send text and make calls sir. As of now, I'm planning to go to a mobile shop and ask them to update it for me, my only worry is when my iphone gets stuck on activation screen. can they solve it if my worry happens? my cousin experienced the same thing, her iphone 4s was stucked on the activation screen, it was sold to her mom by a mobile shop and I think it was not brand new, she tried activating it on the itunes here in the philippines but it didn't work and a mobile shop said it would not be activated because it was unlocked..
    Sir, if ever that my iphone 4 was hacked from any carrier in japan? what will happen if I update it to ios 6.1.2.  will it be stucked? what is the best thing to do sir, I want to update mine so I can use different applications taht require iOS6? HELP

  • After upgrading from acrobat 9.5 to XI pro my users have complained on slow typing when filling in form that were created in version 9.5?

    After upgrading from acrobat 9.5 to XI pro my users have complained on slow typing when filling in form that were created in version 9.5?
    The issue is they type but there is 2 second delay when it appears in the field.
    Windows 7 64bit

    I see, I misread your reference to Reader 11 to mean you were using Acrobat 11, but it looks like it worked out anyway.
    The base-14 fonts are special in PDF because they are guaranteed to be available even if they are not embedded. If you select a non-base-14 font for use with a form field, the entire font usually gets embedded, since each glyph it contains has to be available for use with the field. This can take up a lot of space if you do this a lot, and the space isn't reduced if you change back to a base-14 font later because the internal reference to it is not removed. This is caused by the bug I mentioned.
    In your case, however, the entire font doesn't get embedded because fonts like it (e.g., large asian fonts with a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode) would take up too much space if fully embedded. If it did, a 100KB PDF could bloat to 20MB with that one change. Instead, users are expected to have such fonts installed on their system, which is why you were prompted to install the font pack. This despite the fact that the font was not actually used by anything in your document, it was simply the orphaned reference to it that triggered this. This should get fixed in Acrobat eventually so this type of thing doesn't happen again.

  • I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore

    I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my NIKON camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore!! Help where are they? How can I retrieve them or are they lost???
    Please help me!!!

    Do you see more photos, when you enable "Hidden Photos" in the "View" menu?
    And that was afetr I took the connection with the NIKON out of my laptop.
    Check, if you really imported into your iPhoto library - is the preference setting "Advanced > Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" active?  If not, connect your Nikon again - do you now see more photos?
    If you imported into the iPhoto Library, check inside the package:
    Select your iPhoto library in the Finder, ctrl-click it, use the command "Show Package Contents".
    There will be a folder named "Masters" inside, with subfolders named by year - month - day. Look for the date you did the import and check, if the photos are inside.
    If yes, copy this folder to a folder on your desktop to save the photos.
    If not, search for a folder "Importing" inside the library. Is it there? Then copy these photos to a folder on the Desktop.
    If you found your photos, backup and rebuild your library.
