Can't find albums or old photos

I'm not sure what kind of software update my computer did. I can't find my pictures or albums. This has also happened in itunes with my playlists. Can anyone tell me how to find them and how to get them back into my iphoto library?

I have iPhoto 6. Version 6.0.6, my OS X version 10.5.8. I don't know what kind of software updates were done and I don't know how to check it. Software Update told me that new software was available and that I needed to restart my computer, so I did. When my computer restarted, none of my data such as my albums in I photo or all the pictures in my library were where they were supposed to be.

  • Can't delete albums or old photos off of my iphone 4

    i've accidentally synced my photos on to my mac and can't delete any albums or old photos off of my iphone 4

    I tried this several times, it did not work for me.  iTunes asks me if I want to delete photos on my iphone that were previously synched, I said yes, hit "apply" and then "sync" and it tried to sync, but it went very quickly and did not delete any photos.  Any ideas?
    Adding your comment to a thread marked solved is not likely to get you any answers. Also adding the same comment to multiple threads will not help either. If you have a specific problem with respect to the Photos app, create a new question. Give your question a short but succint title. In the body of the question explain clearly what your problem is, what you have done already to correct it and what, if any, error messages you received.

  • I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto.  It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!!

    I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto.  It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!!  I need these photos, to complete the video, not to mention I don't want to lose them. I have had trouble ever since upgrading  to Maverick.

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Why is it that Itunes can't find album art for "North" by Elvis Costello and others

    Why is it that from all the albums in my Library itunes can not find album art for:
    "North" by Elvis Costello
    "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
    and "Old Yellow Moon" by Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowel?

    Earl,
    For iTunes to find the art, it needs to match exactly on the Artist and Album Text.  Minor issues like spacing or punctuation can prevent the match, as can a misspelling like "Crowel" for Crowell."
    Look in the iTunes Store to get the exact text, fix the tags in the corresponding tracks, and then try again to "Get Album Artwork."
    If that still fails, just grab the correct art off the web, and paste it into the Artwork tab.

  • Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  Graham

    Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • I can't find any of my photos on ICloud, why?

    I can't find any of my photos on ICloud, why?

    1. Tap the Photos app or the camera icon
    2. Tap the camera icon to open it then tap the box bottom left side of the display. That's your camera roll.
    iCloud photos are stored in both.
    If you do not see any photos, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos the make sure:  My Photo Stream is switched ON.
    If that doesn't help, make sure you have setup an iCloud account > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.

  • LR can't find some of my photos

    LR can't find some of my photos even though their location has not changed. When I tell it to locate the file and I find it, LR tells me that file number is associated with another photo.

    I am assuming no changes have been made to alter the image, in that this is an original image that you have not worked on in lightroom before.
    Find the file in your OS's file manager,
    rename the file
    In lightroom resync that folder.
    (Note: If you have a bunch of images that you have retouched in LR and did not save the metadata,
    place the renamed image in a sub folder to a folder that LR has access to or
    in LR select all of the images and hit ctrl-s or
    import that renamed image)
    That image should now be available.

  • I used Migration Assistant to transfer from my VAIO Sony computer. I can't find any of my photos or most of my music.

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer from my VAIO Sony computer to my IMac. I can't find any of my photos or most of my music. I suspect it is in a folder called VAIO  in Finder under Shared but it wants a password to open it that I dont have. I never had a password on the Sony computer and I have tried all the ones I can think of.
    Any suggestions.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

  • After downloading OS X I can't find any of my photos I had on my mac. How do I get them back?

    After downloading OS X I can't find any of my photos I had on my mac. How do I get them back?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    Terence,
    Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other  folders appear only once.
    I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
    I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
    Thanks again.
    Simon

  • Where can I find my backed up photos on the iphone?

    Where can I find my backed up photos on the computer.  Do I use iTunes or do I use iCloud?

    Hey luvtns,
    Thanks for the question. Your Camera Roll photos are definitely backed up, whether you chose to back up with iCloud or iTunes. To restore your backed up photos, you'll want to restore the entire backup. See the following article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content

    Thanks,

  • I just sold my iPhone 4s after doing a reset and deleting data and settings. Is there anyway the buyer can see any of my old photos, texts, or data? I have confidential info for work and family photos and freaked out that they can be found somehow.

    No, but if the answer was yes it's a little late to start getting freaked out about it.
