Can't add any more photos to iPhoto 09

This is a strange one. I've been using iPhoto for years, have 19,164 photos contained within a 134GB iphoto database.
Yesterday I was adding about 350 new photos to iphoto, all Nikon RAW format from a D700. Everything was imported fine, I created an event, did some basic enhancements, crops, etc, and then created a shared gallery on MobileMe. So far so good.
Then I closed iPhoto. Went back in later and the entire event was missing. All the photos are gone, except the MobileMe Gallery is still there as a folder (with nothing in it). The Last Import folder is also empty. I checked the mobileme web gallery address through Safari and the pics are still online.
(btw, I can't simply copy them back from the web gallery because I'm looking for the original NEFs (raw) files and the ones online are JPGs.
I figured this was a job for TimeMachine to solve, so I had the TimeMachine backup from approximately the time I finished entering them and I re-installed my iPhoto database overnight. When I opened iPhoto this morning, there was still nothing there.
Even though I had done several hours of post processing, I resolved to the fact that I would simply have to reinstall the original RAW files from the CompactFlash cards and start from scratch. The problem is that now whenever I import photos into iPhoto, whenever I close it and reopen it again, whatever I added is missing. I can't seem to add anything into iPhoto that will last past me closing the application.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

The next thing

This sounds like a corrupted database.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple 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, faces and places 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.

  • Can't add any more to project--HELP!!!

    I'm trying to make a slideshow-type movie in iMovie09 using mostly music, photos, and titles with a few videos. However, I'm 2 min. into the video, and it won't let me add any more photos or titles to my project. It will let me add video just fine, but nothing else. It won't let me expand the music after the pictures either. Is there a way to fix this, or is this just how iMovie works? I'm also having trouble selecting clips to edit that are already in my project. I will click on a clip, and it will come up with a window that says "no clip selected." I don't know if this is a related problem or not, but I need help--and FAST! project due tomorrow night. thanks.

  • How can i add text to photo in iphoto?

    How can I add text to photo in iphoto without having lion or mtn lion?

    You can't add text to a Photo in iPhoto. You need an external editor for that:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

    My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

    Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
    If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

  • I can't add any more columns. The option is suddenly greyed out.

    I can't add any more columns. The option is suddenly greyed out.

    Allen,
    Actually, there is a TRANSPOSE Function, but no Command or Tool for that. It's one of the more useful and popular omissions in Numbers. Perhaps because it falls into the "didn't plan ahead so now I need a tool" category of features, it didn't make the cut.
    Use of the Transpose Function is described in the Function Browser, the Help feature and in the Functions of Formulas User Guide PDF. It involves using the INDEX function to read out the array created by the Transpose function. Another way to do this is to use the OFFSET function in an expression and by exchanging the row and column references.
    Yvan Koenig has written an Applescript that will automate the transposition for data and for certain simple expressions. You can get it from his Box Account, on this page.

  • Can't add any more buddies, but i always could, even over the limit..

    On my iChat buddy list (on an AIM account), I have a lot over the 200 maximum, and it has always worked fine. I had almost 300 buddies, and then tried to add a few more. The first one worked, but the second two adds didn't. Is there a way to fix this other than deleting some buddies?

    This would mean that you aren't really removing the element
    from either
    Design or Code view. If the code is there, the element is
    there. If the
    code is not there, the element is not there.

  • Can't add any more AP Divs

    Hi,
    I'm building a site for my husband which is built entirely
    with AP Divs (in CS3). Messy, but quick and easy.
    Never made a website before, so it's all a bit new to me!
    I've got to the stage now though, where I can't add any more.
    I can draw the shape using the Draw AP Div tool, but as soon as I
    let go of the mouse button, the box disappears (it doesn't get as
    far as becoming a blue box).
    I've checked that it's not hidden beneath another layer.
    One thing I have noticed is that if I use design view to
    delete an AP element, it doesn't seem to get removed from the code.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks,
    A

    Help!  I was going along great adding music to iTunes 11.0.0.163, then it just stopped.  Tried adding files and folders (like I had been doing) and nothing more happened.  Nothing new shows up in the Recently Added list.  I have a Sony Vaio, Windows XP, SP3.  Thanks for any tips!

    the strange thing is that i can do about everything with windows media player with my same dvd burner paly cds and burn them but when i go to do the same with itunes i can't it imports the songs a sec per song and when i go to the librery to hear them they do the same thing a sec per song

  • So, I have had the Ipod 4th generation for about a year now, and I have never had any trouble adding music onto my ipod until this latest version of itunes came out. Now, I cannot add any more music onto my ipod! I Have grayed out songs that I can't play

    So, I have had an Ipod touch (fourth generation) for a little less than a year now, and I have never had any problems with it until the latest version of itunes came out. Now, my ipod never can sync (I left it up for an hour before and it only got to step 2 out of 7), and I can't add any more music to my ipod! To make it worse, about 100 songs that I had deleted off my ipod, but could still be found in my itunes library, appeared again on my ipod! But, they are grayed out and I can't listen to them so they just take up space.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

  • IPhoto 09: I suddenly can't import any more jpg-photos created by scanner with SilverFast Ai

    I suddenly can't import any more jpg-pictures created by scanner with SilverFast. iPhoto says 'unknown format'. What can I do?

    Since you can import into a library in the other user account there is something in your account that is the culprit. First  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. 
    Click to view full size
    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.
    Oost back with the results as there is one more text of your account that can be done if the above didn't help.
