All photos disappeared after it told me to update

I tried opening aperture, but it told me it needed to update and that i wouldnt be able to open this photo library with an older version of aperture.
i dont really know what this meant, so i went through with it. it took no more than 10 seconds, but when i re-opened, all my photos were gone except for one project. can someone PLEASE help me?

You can have as many Aperture libraries on your computer as you want, but the library is specific to the version of Aperture that created it.
If you've Aperture 2, but download a "Trial" copy of Aperture 3, then Aperture 3 would have created a new library (the licensed version will upgrade your Aperture 2 library but the "trial" version will not... it'll create a 2nd library.)
I'm thinking you've got two versions of Aperture and more than one library and are trying to open an Aperture 3 library with Aperture 2 software.
Go into your "Applications" folder and check to see if you have more than one version of Aperture installed. If so, you should probably remove Aperture 2. If you highlight the icon, right click and select "Get Info" you can check the version. If your software is fully up-to-date then Aperture 3 should show it is version 3.1.2.

All photos disappeared after deleting iPhoto library

I followed the tutorial http://www.apple.com/aperture/iphoto-to-aperture/how.html to import iPhoto library into Aperture and everything worked perfectly fine just until I finished the last step and deleted the iPhoto library. Since then I do not see anything under "PROJECTS & ALBUMBS", i.e. there are not the iPhoto events anymore. When I click on Projects icon (in the LIBRARY tree) I can see all those events, however these projects are empty!
I browsed the Aperture library I was able to locate all the master pictures there were moved there in the “Consolidate Masters for Library” step. But that is all. I do not see all the albums I've created since the iPhoto library was imported either.
What should I do?

So I figured it out myself. I just had to restart Aperture. After that everything seems to be all right again!

All my Photos disappeared after I saved a photo to Iphoto from an email from my wife. I am running Mountain lion on Mac book pro 2012, help. What did I do wrong?

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.

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

Why did my Application Stack Disappear after I downloaded an OS update?

My Application Stack disappeared after I downloaded an OS update. I can get it back as a folder on the dock but not the Application Stack. I am relatively new to Macs so maybe I missed something in the setup.

Right-click or Control-click on the Applications folder icon in the Dock. A popup menu will open. Select Stack from the Display As section.

I've shared photos with my brother, and now we have both lost all photos, is it to do with the update?

- What OS is on your computer? you say you have Windows 98. That I think is the problem.
- Are you importing the photos by:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
If not how?
the .ithmp are thumbnails, not the full photo

ALL Photos missing after Time Machine restore (help)

So, I accidently formated the wrong drive while in Windows, (big oops) which gave me the opportunity to take Time Machine for a test drive.
I put the DVD in, and was able to restore from the TIme Machine drive. Very impressed! Everything came back just as I had left it except - whats this? The default Leopard wallpaper instead of a picture of my son? Huh strange, I thought. Until I noticed I had no photos in iPhoto.
There seems to be reminents of photos in the iphoto database - the size is 1.3gb instead of the 7gb it used to be. But 0 photos in iPhoto 08.
I went into iPhoto and choose File/Browse Backups. I selected Nov 8th, which was the last day of my backup and showed all 7000+ photos, and clicked "Restore All". This brought up something odd - a 2nd iPhoto icon in the dock, which showed a progress bar for the restore. Once the restore was completed, I still had a 2nd iPhoto icon the the bar, which was iPhoto running - but no photos in iphoto! I exited the 2nd iphoto, which disappeared, and launched my normal Iphoto icon. Still no photos! (That just seems odd that it would launch iPhoto with a 2nd icon)
So, I moved my iphoto database, and launch iPhoto in order to create a fresh database - thinking maybe that was the issue. I then did File/Restore again, and went through the whole processes again, including the odd 2nd icon. Still, no photos! And another 1.3gb iphoto database!
Is it normal for a Time Machine restore to not include your photos? Surely you are not supposed to restore them separately from within Iphoto?
What do I do now? At this point, everything went very well - except no photos! Which is awful and not at all expected! 7000+ family photos! At least, if I ask iPhoto/Time Machine to restore 'all photos' you would think it would restore 'all photos' - not show a progress bar, and then show me no photos!
p.s. I just tooked at the iPhoto Library. The 1.3gb is in /Data/ which contains folders 2000-2007, my Events, and thumbnails of all the photos - but no actual photos (the 'Originals' folder is missing).
I then went back in time, and found the 8gb iPhoto Library database. I supposed I could copy it over manually via Time Machine, and not iPhoto's Restore/TM - but - i'm so far off track of how this should have went I don't know what to think!
p.s.s. So I did just that - copied the 8gb iPhoto Library manually from TM, and pasted it in place. I help down option, and launch iPhoto, selecting the 8gb library - and BOOM... no photos!
Something is #$%# up here.

This is what it says in the help file:
Reverting to a previous Mac OS X version
If you’ve used Time Machine to back up your computer, you can easily revert to a previous version of Mac OS X if you’re experiencing trouble after installing an update.
IMPORTANT: Reverting to the previous version of Mac OS X will erase any additions or changes you’ve made to the files on your computer after installing the new version of Mac OS X. To save new or revised files, copy them onto a different disk or back them up using Time Machine before you follow these instructions. Use Time Machine only if you’re reverting to a previous version of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), since Time Machine is not available with Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier.
To revert to a previous version of Mac OS X:
Insert the disc you used to install the new version of Mac OS X, and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
In the Installer, choose Utilities > Restore System From Backup.
In the Restore Your System dialog, click Continue.
Select your Time Machine backup volume.
Select the Time Machine backup you want to restore. To restore your computer to the state it was in before you installed a new version of Mac OS X, choose the most recent backup.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
If you backed up any individual files as described under the Important message above, you can restore them now. If you backed them up using Time Machine, recover them using the Time Machine application. (You’ll find the Time Machine application in the Dock or in the Applications folder.)
Hope this helps

Uploaded photos by an SD-Card stored in an album. Next day all photos disappeared.

I live in Germany. After my visit in the U.S. two weeks ago I ´ve got following problem with my MacBook Air:
I import photos to iPhoto as usual and after one day these photos disappeared. I tried to find them through "Finder" without success.
What I do get since that is the message: "Files will be uploaded to the Mediathek". And that needs days and days......
Never had this before and I am really upset, because I think about loosing all these nice holiday memories.
Please, can anybody help me ?

I import photos to iPhoto as usual and after one day these photos disappeared. I tried to find them through "Finder" without success.
edihei,
what exactly happened when you imported your photos?
as usual
how exactly? You imported the photos from your card directly into iPhoto? And did you delete them from the card or are they still on the card?
Did you see the photos in events in iPhoto after import? Have you worked with them and edited them before you ejected the card and quit iPhoto?
"Files will be uploaded to the Mediathek"
What is the exact message (gerne auch auf Deutsch!)?
This message suggests that you may not have let iPhoto finish the import, before you quit the program and removed the card.

Photo disappear after rebuilding library

Hi all,
It's very sad thing to happen on x'mas.. hope i can get some help here.
I don't know what cause the problem... so i'd better describe everything i've done.
My friend sent me some photos in his iphone to my email.
I then saved all those photos on my iphone.
I've checked them on camera roll after downloading..and it still works.
then i load the app "Polarize", and try to load the photos from camera roll.
Then it said there's no photos..
so then i went back to photo... it then started to "updating library" / rebuilding library...
then i waited... after rebuild...several hundreds of photos are gone...
I tried to restart...and they are still gone...
Since my laptop has taken to maintenance, it hasn't been backed up for a while now...
Please kindly suggest any solution...

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Photos disappeared after sync

Situation:
I have synced my photos from my iphone to my macbook pro laptop. There are around 1500 photos. After syncing, iphoto asked me whether I want to delete the original from my iphone, that I select yes. After I clicked yes, iphoto went to not responding. So I quit iphoto.
However once I have reopened iphoto, the new photos that i have synced into iphoto disappeared. They were just not there. So I reconnect my iphone. And deselect 'hide photos which are already synced'. Than I have found just less than 400 pictures left.
Question:
How can I retrieve those 1100 photos? or where did those photos go?
Information:
iphone-4s and updated
iphoto 09
Laptop: Mac OS X version 10.6.8|2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo|4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Please help me, iphoto has never done this before, and I am trying my best not to panic.

If you don't have a backup to fall back on which is the best solution try the following (assuming your using iPhoto 9 [11]): 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.

If you're running iPhoto 8 (09) the process is the same, only the windows that come up are different.

All photos duplicated after restoring Photoshop Elements 11 catalog

I recently had my computer reformatted and notice that following Photoshop Elements reinstall and catalog restore all my photos have been duplicated in the Adobe/digital photos folder. I have read that this is due to my computer tech restoring all photos in the original folder structure prior to me executing the catalog restore (I should have done my research first). My question is what can I do now to eliminate the duplicates? Do I delete all photos and the Adobe folders or is there an alternative?

Al Markunas wrote:
The duplicates are in the same folder tree structure and, yes, the restore renamed them with a -1 suffix. The pictures with the -1 suffix are the ones I see in the Organizer.
There is no 'smart' way to get rid of the files previously copied on your drive, but I would use the ability of the the Organizer to move folder trees on your drive.
First I would create a new master folder outside of the old tree structure.
Then I would work in 'Pictures' view in the left panel of PSE11.
I would select a branch of the folder tree as a test, and drag and drop it to the new folder. Tip : there must be at least a file in that master folder to make it appear in the left panel. Then, from the Windows explorer, I would check that only the previously copied media files are showing in the moved branch... and delete the branch altogether in the Explorer.
Once you master the process, you can either move all your remaining folder tree from the Organizer, and delete the remaining duplicates from the Explorer or you can move branches separately.
Be patient! Moving files requires time and you should not abort the move operation to avoid creating more duplicates.
The main penalty of your situation is the renaming of your files with a suffix, but that does not prevent you to use 100% of the Organizer features.

All photos disappeared from iphoto

I went to bed last night leaving my iphoto to upload 300 pictures to a mobile me gallery, when i can to my machine this morning all photos gone,
i have run my library from my time capsule, i have tried to open from my TC and nothing, any ideas what has happened ?

What connection do you have to the TC? Wired or Wireless?
As to recovery: My guess is that your Library db is damaged:
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 *iPhoto 08* 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.
