Can anyone help? I've put my iphoto icon in trash by mistake !

Can anyone help? I've put my iphoto icon in trash by mistake and when i took it out again and opened it it was empty and it asks me which library I want to use? I have 14, 000 photos of family history seems to have disappeared! I can only imagine they must be somewhere as I haven't emptied trash?

Thanks Carolyn, however I launched iphoto it tells me this: What photo library do you want iphoto to use? To open iphoto needs a photo library. Select a library form the list..
So I click on the left tab " Other Library" and up comes iphoto library file. I double click on that and up comes.. albums data/ ilfe shared/ iphoto.ips spot/Masters/ previews/ thumbnails.
I then double click on masters and it says 2011. I double click on that and also try open but nothing happens?
Do you happen to know what this means?

  • Can anyone help with workflow problem between iPhoto and Photoshop CS4?

    I am very new to CS4 Extended, having upgraded from Elements 6 recently. I use iPhoto '08 to do all my photo organization and really enjoy it, have a LOT of work invested in it and don't really want to switch to anything else if I can help it. One aspect I like about it is that it tucks away my original in case I ever need to revert. With Elements, I could set my iPhoto preferences to allow all my editing to be done externally using Elements 6, but it would only allow 4 photos to be sent over to Elements at a time. Then I would have to go back to iPhoto and "get" more. I thought that when I upgraded to CS4, I would at least be allowed four at a time to be sent from iPhoto to Photoshop for editing. Whenever I do this, it sends only one, maybe two, but never four. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I'm annoyed at having to constantly go back for one or two photos at a time to edit and wondered if anyone knew of a workaround for this problem. The reason I have done it this way all along is that the two programs would work together and update my iPhoto pics and thumbnails automatically. Since then, I have just opened the iPhoto files from within CS4, but the edit doesn't update the thumbnails, only the enlarged versions within iPhoto. Neither Apple nor Adobe has been able to offer any solutions. I am not looking to create multiple copies of my files. I download straight from my camera to iPhoto. I could always just download them to a folder, edit them in CS4 and then import them into iPhoto, but that would necessitate making a copy of the photos to keep the originals safe and I'm not sure I want to have to organize all my originals elsewhere on top of my iPhoto library. I am very open to suggestions!
    Thanks!

    I appreciate your response. I recently did a reinstall, hoping it might help. It didn't seem to make any difference. Don't know if I need to just switch to a different program like Lightroom or just do all my editing outside of iPhoto and then import the results, but that defeats the purpose of letting iPhoto handle my originals so easily. I really like iPhoto and what it does, and have spent a lot of time getting my library compiled just the way I like with keywords, ratings and so on, and I'm afraid that switching to a new product will lose a lot of that work and either cause me to split my library into two places or to create unnecessary duplicates.

  • Help, I accidentally put a desktop icon the trash (my photo booth!). I don't  know how to undo it!

    Help me. I accidentally created a desktop icon from Iphoto and when I wanted to get it off the desktop, I put it in the trash. Now, it appears that my entire photo collection is in the trash bin and I don't want it to be there! How do I tell it to take it back out of the trash bin???

    Please explain in more detail, how you created, made or moved that "icon" to your desktop...?
    If you not sure, open the trash, control click on the "icon" in the trash, select Get Info and report back.
    If it looks like this > with nothing after it, then you need to drag it out of the trash and put it back into your user Pictures Folder.
    If it is a copy or alies and you can currently open iPhoto and see all your photos, then there should not be any problem just emptying the trash and making it go away.

  • Terrance Devlin answered a question about iPhoto (4-2012) re:copying iPhoto Library to an ExHD, and losing all the albums. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button. Can anyone help?

    I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
    Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
    Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
    First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.

    Can anyone help? I'm using iPhoto 5. My MAC is an OS X version 10.4.11.
    thanks, brokenlom

    Here are Apple's instructions:
    If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
    Click Choose Library.
    Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
    (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
    Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

  • Can anyone help me. Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly.  When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library.  Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."

    Can anyone help me.  I have iPhoto 9.2 and  Mac OS X 10.7.2.
    Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly.  When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library.  Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."
    I have read plenty of the posts on the subject and it seems that deleting the "3ivx" fixed the problem.  I looked at the detaied reports and see where it says "
    Library/Application Support/3ivx" etc..
    On my report it says "/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/*/iLMBiPhoto8Plugin".  Does this help with an answer?

    I am also having this crashing problem. I am running lion on a 2010 mac mini. My iPhoto library is kept on an external drive.

    You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer.  This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc.  (e.g., movies).
    But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.

    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 or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

After that, I tried the app store again, and it still is giving me the unknown error. really irked by that. may have to take it back to the apple store yet again, to see if i can figure out why the app store won't work.

  • My iPhone 4 will NOT show up on iTunes, not even by putting it into recovery mode. Can anyone help me fix this problem? I would like to use iTunes with it.

    I got an iPhone 4 on Thursday.
    I connected it to my PC, a Windows Vista, that day and nothing showed up besides a "camera."
    My computer picked it up as a camera, which I understand is a common occurence in the iPhone.
    After browsing countless youtube videos and Apple Forum Questions, nothing helped.
    I put it into recovery mode by holding on the power and menu button, but when I opened iTunes it still didn't detect anything.
    I feel like I'm almost hurting my iPhone because I turned it off and on so many times, and plugged it in and out several times, and so forth.
    Here is what happened after putting it into recovery mode: 1. A Windows "device locator" popped up. 2. It was looking for a solution to help me with the unknown device, or iPhone. 3. I clicked onto the find solution button, and it told me that I needed a disc.
    --- I didn't have a disc, so I looked up this problem and it told me to manually find Apple mobile device support on my driver, so I did.---
    4. I then went onto Control Panel and clicked on SYSTEM and MAINTENANCE and went to DEVICE MANAGER.
    5. There I found my iPhone listed under USB controllers.
    6. I uninstalled and installed it several times.
    7. I then manually found a program to ease the problem. The program was "apple mobile device support," which was located on my apple driver.
    8. Nothing happened, besides it reporting to me that Apple USB was found and that "code 39" or "code 1" was in the way.
    9. I didn't know what to do with this....
    By this time, I was about to give up on my iPhone and return it back to the store.
    I tried again, but in a different way this time.
    1. I put it back into recovery mode and I opened itunes.
    2. itunes reported to me that some burning or CD/Drive software was missing and that I needed to reinstall it.
    3. SO, I reinstalled it several times, about 12 (iTunes), and nothing changed.
    4. I then looked up the problem of why the CD/Drive software problem kept popping up.
    5. I fixed it by going to my registry and adding an UpperFilter with the code GEARaspi...something like that.
    6. The problem was fixed, but still no iPhone onto my itunes.
    I stayed up all night last night to fix this problem...I'm annoyed and tired.
    I tried another problem to fix this.
    1. I didn't put it into recovery mode.
    2. My iPhone showed up under portable devices under "device manager," from SYS/MAIN"
    3. I did update software.
    4. I clicked on "apple mobile device support" but nothing happened.
    5. It reported to me of the Code thing again.
    I even called the Apple people and they didn't know what to do, so I stopped calling them...because they only had limited options to fix the problem.
    Can anyone help me?

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

    Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem: 
    Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
    When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
    If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
    I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
    Thanks for your help

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

    You can not change the date of birth on the account. Apple makes that clear up front when the account is created.
    The only way to "fix" this is going to be for him to create a new account with the correct information. Any apps purchased with the old one will need to be re-purchased with the new account. They can not be transferred.
