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.
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 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.

So, I upgraded my iphoto and now can't access my photo library

I thought I needed to upgrade iphoto but now my mac can't read my library. Did I loose my pictures for good?

Hey mochalulu,
In most cases when you upgrade your iPhoto application, the first time you launch iPhoto afterwards it will update your iPhoto Library. In rare situations this may have issues. This article explains how to resolve those issues -
Update iPhoto '11 to 9.0.1 before upgrading library - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

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.

After upgrade to iPhoto '11, unexpectedly quits

After upgrade to iPhoto 11 it always reports "inconsistencies"

I'm stucked on APPLE evolution bar when I restarted my Mac after upgrade to Yosemite. I Can't access on my computer.

I'm stucked on APPLE evolution bar when I restarted my Mac after upgrade to Yosemite. I Can't access on my computer.

Good Question.
I downloaded Yosemite a while ago, but didn¹t install it because it would
knock out several applications such as Solitaire till Dawn But finally
when some apps wouldn¹t work with my current version of Safari I thought I
would upgrade Safari but they wouldn¹t work with the OS I was using so
suddenly I had no Safari and was worse off than before. So I bit the bullet
and upgraded to Yosemite with the earlier version I already had. Not pleased
when iPhoto didn¹t work, and it also coincided with an national email outage
here in Australia by the major carrier so no email either.
Experience has taught me that it gets sorted out in the end but in the
meantime...
And the lesson is [

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, i can't connect to app store or safari

After Upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can't access the app store, itunes store, Safari - anything that requires the internet. I tried resetting my modem and rebooting.
I also tried deleting items from the keychain that look like they are related to the above. When I did that and rebooted, It works for a little while, and then gets back to where it won't login to anything on the internet and safari won't load anything.

This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

After upgrading to IOS 7, I can only transfer songs to my iPhone 5 that I bought on iTunes. I cannot transfer songs I burned from CD. When I drag them to my phone in iTunes, my phone appears to be updating, but the songs don't show up there.
I'm using IOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. WIndows 7.
Thanks.

This has worked for many folks according to the feedback I have gotten:
Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

After upgrading to firefox 7, I can't use many of the features on my schools secure website. So, how do I install a previous version of firefox?

After upgrading to firefox 8, I can't use many of the functions on my schools website like opening the textbook and sending emails. I spoke the school's tech. support & they informed me that my version of firefox was not compatible with their system. So, how do I install a previous version of firefox (firefox 6 to be exact)?

You can download Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac OS X 10.5 from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/6.0.2/
Backup your '''Profiles''' folder before new installation.
edit: replaced random third-party download site link.

TS1702 after upgrading to ios 6 i can no longer use the app store.

after upgrading to ios 6 i can no longer use the app store on my iPhone, i am unable to install new apps. i chose to fill out the security questions and the problem seems to occur since then. what could be a solution to get the app store working again??

i just contacted apple support and the solution is the following!!!!!
connect the iphone to your computer and open itunes
then click on itunes store at the left side of the screen
then click at the right top side of your itunes screen on your email address (or id that is displayed there in the black bar)
choose log out
then go to the top of the screen with the search option in itunes where you can search in the store and choose an app that you have not yet installed.
then you get the security questions also in itunes, fill the them out and after you have done that you are asked to log in again
now when you install an app that works (it is then on your computer still)
open the app store on your iphone and choose the updates button and install the app from the cloud
now when you install new apps also from the app store on your iphone it works again!!! and you are no longer asked about the security questions
(the other option they told me (that i did not have to use) is: go to settings/general/ all the way at the bottom of the screen choose make new settings restore networksettings and choose yes)

After upgrading to Firefox 4, I can't log in into my bank account.

After upgrading to 4.x I can no longer log into my TD Bank online account. I'm working with differente Mac computers, all intel based, with different specs. None of them can log in, except the only one which still uses Firefox 3.
The page loads well, but when being prompted to wrote my card's number and my pass, after clickin' the "submit" button, firefox immediately jumps back to any previous page I loaded before the bank's page, so I've never have a chance to log in. All other browsers does not have this same problem (I'm also using Opera, IE and Safari), and different types of Macs, desktops an laps, all with the same result.

This one works in FF 4 and beyond:

Stick the 10.6 disk into the machine and reboot holding the option/alt key down on a wired/built in keyboard.
On the second screen, under the Utilities menu is a Password Reset, use it.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
What this will do is reset the password and the user account permissions in the process.
You might have problems with Keychain afterwards, to fix that.

After upgrading to iOS 8.2 can't update date (correctly (year stuck on 1970). This may be reason I can't get to app store.

Hi,
After upgrading to 8.2, I can't access the App Store. After troubleshooting and searching the web, I found suggestions to update the Time setting to automatic, then reset the network settings. The problem is, it won't completely set the Time and Date setting correctly, it is stuck on 1970 and I can't change it automatically or manually. As a result, I can neither downgrade to 8.1 nor upgrade to 8.3 nor update anything else.
Any suggestions? It is a MD723LLA model (5th Gen, 32 GB with plenty of free RAM).
Thanks,
Scott

Go to Settings>General>Date & Time and make sure calendar is set to Gregorian.
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple. Next would be to connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will go to 8.3

Please I'll be thankfull.

I stated that I did try to do all of this when I first set up the new computer...I did do the Setup Assistant numerous times but my old computer kept freezing half way through. Even if I did it when I first got the new computer back in Septemeber, I would have had the same issue b/c my old computer has been 'broken' for a while. My old computer can't handle doing too much at once and I think the setup and then migration functions I tried were too much. That's why I was hoping I could use the migration function piecemeal. I wish I could just check off the exact files and folders I want vs. having to choose it at the 'user' level...that's too much for my old computer to have to transfer.
