Corrupted files in my iPhoto bin

Hello
I had a few issues with dropbox which ended up corrupting my iphoto database. i fixed most problems (i hope) but i still have issues with my bin. see the screenshot: http://twitpic.com/2l6gnk
- the layout of the bin is bizarre
- some pics have no image
- when i try to empty my bin, iphoto freezes and i need to kill it
Any idea how i can fix this?
Thx
Sebastien

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, 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.

Corrupted file structure in iPhoto library?

This is a little like the "disappeared library" problem that someone else reported, but my library looks OK. It's just that several years worth of photos have disappeared (i.e. folders show as empty).
A quick check into the library folder suggests that originals and modifieds are still there. There seems to be a "disconnect" in linking the library structure to the contents.
As with the other guy, I wouldn't want to restore everything one roll at a time and rebuild my folders.
I have daily backups (using Backup). 10 days ago everything was fine; but if I do a Restore from 15 days ago, I get a successful restore msg, but nothing has changed. Maybe there are bugs in Backup too. You put some faith in Backup working, but I've had Restoring problems with Backup of Mail files as well in the past.
I'm no expert at this sort of thing, but it might be helpful to just know what the iPhoto file structure is supposed to look like. Then maybeI could try to restore specific items on a trial-and-error basis.

Thanks for the prompt reply, TD...
You've come close to describing my situation, but I don't see the solution.
In my case I have the following in my iPhoto folder (quite similar to your list...
In my case I have folders labelled 2001 through 2007 in my Originals folder, and the same for Modified, although oddly enough there's no 2002. It's possible that I didn't make mods for that full year, but doubtful.
If this is the case you have nothing to worry about.
In earlier versions of iPhoto the folder structure
was based in Date. With v6 a new structure was
created:
Originals are the photos as they were
downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that
you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command
- very useful if you don't like the changes you've
made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app
needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
OK, you've explained that well, but here is the real problem. If I can call that thing on the left of my screen a Table of Contents, I have folders labelled by year, Last 6 rolls, Last 18 months and dozens that I have created myself... plus some slide shows. That whole structure seems intact from the way I left it before things went wrong.
The issue is that it's the most recent years.. 2006, 2007 have (0) beside them and don't show any photos when clicked on. The same is true of all of the folders (albums) I've created with pictures from those years.
I can see from a file listing of 2006/2007 that I have 3GB of photos in Originals and another 1 GB on Modified. Sampling the photos in Preview shows that they're OK as far as I can tell. What I'm calling the Table of Contents simply isn't accessing them.
Hopefully you have a simpler solution for me, but what would happen if I did an import on the 2006 and 2007 files? I suppose the 100 or so albums I've created would all have to be created???
And, I still don't understand why my Backup Restore isn't recreating what I had working fine just 10 days ago.

When I open and close iPhoto I get the wheel of death and I have to force quit the program. Can I reinstall the program to fix any corrupted files?

Can I reinstall iPhoto '11 to fix any corrupted files?

You can but it will not fix anything - you have a corrupted library = not an corrupted application
Backup your iPHoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and ftom the resulting first aid window rebuild your database
LN

Every time I open iPhoto (as of today) after a few seconds the coloured wheel appears and the program become unresponsive. I have tried closing my computer. I assume I have a corrupt file but at the moment I cannot access anything in the program?

Every time I try to open Iphoto '11 (as of today) the coloured wheel appears after a few seconds and the program becomes unresponsive. I assume I have a corrupt file but I cant do anything including accessing help. I have tried closing down and restarting but it dosnt help. Any ideas please?

Why "Corrupt File or Preview Doesn't Recognize format" msg. after moving the iPhoto folder?

Hello,
I've moved my iPhoto Library from my Mac HD to an external hard drive (WD My Book 1) and now there are no pictures in the iPhoto application when I open it. I have a collection of over 3000. When I click on a .jpg photo within the iPhoto Library I get the message: "Corrupt File or Preview Doesn't Recognize format".
I've been told that this has something to do with moving the iPhoto library from one location to another and that I have to do something to have Tiger recognize iPhoto in its new location.
I moved the iPhoto library from my Mac HD to one of the My Book Ext HDs. But there also was a back up of iPhoto Library on the 150 GB Acomdata Ext HD taken from the Mac HD that wasn't moved. That back up was done on a scheduled backup using Carbon Copy Cloner. However, when I looked for the iPhoto Library on Acomdata, all that was there were the seven item that don't, I think, make up any kind of a library:
Dir.data
iPhoto.db
iPhotoLock.data
Library.iPhoto
Thumb32.data
Thumb64.data
ThumbJPG.data
Could someone please help me with this? I thought I had backup and also that I had moved the library carefully.
In addition, there are other files that I've moved from the Mac HD to the external that aren't opening either, such as movies (.flv "The movie could not be opened), .rtf files ("File does not exist." and .pdfs ("File error. couldn't open the file.")
Thanks,
Rafael

"The backup from Acomdata doesn't appear to be a complete library."
(How do you make a clip of lines you quote that has a different background color — avalible to Apple support discussions?)
I didn't make that clear. The IPhoto Library backup wasn't to the Acomdata. I backed up IPhoto Library to the two 1 TB WD EHDs ("StorageUnit WDnew" and "BU of StorageUnit WDnew") then trashed the one on Mac HD.
The backup you see on Acomdata (clone of Mac HD) isn't a complete library. It's nothing but a new library I started to create and it's to be ignored. I should remove it.
Below is a picture of the back up of IPhoto Library and other items to the first WD "StorageUnit WDnew". The backup on "BU of StorageUnit WDnew" is the same. These two aren't bootable. They only store information. The Acomdata is bootable and that's where I back up my Mac HD. IPhoto used to be on the Mac HD and I moved it to "StorageUnit WDnew". It's the same on "BU of StorageUnit WDnew".
Will "Rebuild IPhoto Library" be able to pull from the external HD?
Why can't I drag and drop folders or files into the volumes in the side bar?
Should I do anything with Ownership and Permissions before I Rebuild IPhoto Library?
Should I press "Apply to enclosed items.” button to set the new read and write settings?
I listed the equipment I use in My Profile in My Products again. I'd done that before. Also, my picture, also in profile, isn't showing up. See what happenns this time.
Thanks. I have so much important stuff in those pictures that I'm very anxious to retrieve everything.

Corrupt image files cause upgraded iPhoto to crash

I have been spending some time trying to find and remove corrupt image files from my iPhoto library. These are not just scrambled images when viewed they crash any and every program you view them with. Including Finder. I accidentally put one on my desktop and finder went into a auto restart cycle I could not stop. until I removed the file with pathfinder. I have found about 30 of these so far (my library is about 25,000) Many of these are in the data file but some are not. They are of all types (jpg,tiff,psd) Thorsten Lemke, (Lemke Software) tells me it is a quicktime issue.
Here is a link to one of these files. Warning it will crash safari if you try o view it.
http://vincentdavis.net/try/try.jpg
Here are my questions.
1. is there some way to fix these
2. is there some efficient way to find and remove/fix them?
3. how did this happen? I had no problem before update (that I knew of)
Thanks
Vincent

I did try the link, and as you said - it crashed Safari. However, I have google searched and also searched the Apple Support sites for 'fix corrupt images' with no luck. I'm sorry but I think the only way of knowing is to try and open each of them.
However, I did read on Macworld's site once that sometimes photoshop or other image editing programs can open the corrupt files.
Sorry for not being much help here - I hoped that my first suggestion would have done the trick.

Help! iphoto 4 freezes when finds a corrupt file

Hi all,
on my old pb 12' g4 (10.3.9 1.33) i am trying to make a backup of my iphoto by putting it onto another computer via target mode and small flash drives. this became more timely when we dropped our pb from the kitchen table onto our tile floor (yes, oh how i love magsafe on my mb!!!).
so, here's the thing - i know i have some corrupt files - in iphoto and in itunes - but when i'm moving files, the transfer works...until it hits a corrupt file. then beach ball until i need to manually shut down and start again, ignoring the section of folders that might have included my corrupt file.
why isn't panther (or osx) keen enough to just skip over and transfer everything that is readable? it is very, very time consuming to drag each folder one by one hoping it doesn't contain a corrupt file...
any ideas? my transfer is almost complete. just a few sketchy folders to deal with now...and lots of spinning beach balls!
thanks, paul

thanks for the ideas, bf. i understand that files are stored in packages all over the hard drive, but i would like the os to be able to 'pass' over a sequence of packages that can't be found and move to the next file. i mean, doesn't this sound doable? so a file isn't responding...so move to the next one rather than spinning beach ball until manual shut down...
the transfer of the library is moving photo folders from my home folder on my g4 pb and dragging them into my macbook iphoto. i used target mode and was able to move 3000 of 6000 photos until the spinning beach ball. now i've been going into each folder in my pb home folder and putting it onto a flashdrive so i can move them onto my mb and into iphoto on that computer.
i know my transferring of photos isn't causing the corruption, and i know my flashdrive is fine on both my macs. Yes, i was using firewire via target mode until the beach ball.
so now, i'm almost done my transfer. i have narrowed the corrupt files to about 7 folders--but i don't know how many photos this actually is because my computer beach balls each time i go into those folders. i guess, with corrupt files, that this is as close as i might get to moving my photos. i mean, i know some will be lost - i know i have corrupt files - i'm just trying to get as many as i can off of my old pb and into my mb.
i'll keep you posted, and i'm always loving the wisdom and experience on this posting board!

Iphoto corrupting files

Hi,
I have a fairly large library of about 10,100 photo's. First off I wonder if this is a problem, can iphoto handle such a load. Secondly I have been discovering random photo's that will no longer open, the ball spins indefinately on a white screen. When I go the jpg itself in the library it won't open as well, it says, "may be a corrupt file." Photoshop will not open these files either. I pulled out my backup library which I'd saved on a separate firewire drive a few months ago and these same photo's are not corrupt and work fine when I replace the corrupt ones. Has anyone experienced this or know how the files may have been corrupted?
Thanks

I too have trouble with Iphoto files going corrupt. I don't know why. I will be working and all at once some or all the phot go blank. I just have a series of outlined blank boxes. I have renamed the Ilibrary foler and created new ones and I still get the problem. I've this happen about 4 times. I am extremely frustrated. I'm getting afraid to do new projects for fear of putting all the time in and then not be able to run IMovie or IDVD because Iphot is messed up. Does anyone know why this corruption is happening? It seems like there are a lot of other people out there having similar problems. I use my Mac mostly for photo projects. Although a loyal fan of macs for years I about to the point I want to give up on it. Sorry about the venting but I'm reallyyyyyyyyyy frustrated.

Saying the file for my Iphoto app has become corrupted. Never backed up the file, So now what?

Every time I try to open up my IPhoto app I keep getting a pop up message saying the file for my iPhoto app has become corrupted and needs to be restored from back-up. The problem is I never backed it up. and if by slim chance I did but can't remember for some reason I can't find the back-up file on my Mac Book pro. Any recommendations as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

This is a good lesson for all of us. Having only one sets of files without a backup is a ticket to disaster. I know several folks who lost all of their photo library when the hard disk on their computer died. It's shame. Those files that are important to you should be saved in at least one different location than just on your computers hard drive. Its even better to keep two backups.

External hard drive, error -36, corrupt files and slow transfer speeds

This is a long post but stay with me.
I've got an external 250GB Lacie drive connected to my 24" Intel iMac via Firewire 800. I have approximately 80GB worth of files (including my iPhoto library) on the Lacie that I'm trying to move over to my iMac but have run into some frustrating problems.
Overall, transfer speeds are erratic – fine at times and SUPER SLOW (5 minutes to transfer a 3MB file) at other times. At first I was transferring entire folders, but after always getting errors (error -36 to be exact), I was having to transfer individual files. This works fine as long as the files aren't too big (which makes the transfer speeds SUPER SLOW) and not corrupt (which gets me an error -36). Is my Lacie crashing on me? Is there any hope?
Here's what I've done to try and salvage my sanity with no resolve to my problems (not exactly in this order):
1) Ran Disk Utility to repair Lacie. Everything came back OK
2) Ran Disk Warrior on Lacie. Found a handful of bad items that Disk Warrior was able to repair. Had Disk Warrior replace the old directory of the Lacie with the new directory.
3) Ran Drive Genius: Raired and Rebuilt the directory, did an Integrity Check (came back OK), attempted to Defrag but could not because of errors to the drive, did a Scan for bad blocks (which after running for 3 days! it was only 20% complete and had found over 150 bad blocks, at which point I quit to try something else)
4) Checked that my Firewire cable was properly connected and replaced the older one I was using with a brand new one.
5) Disconnected all peripherals except for keyboard, mouse and Lacie.
6) And at times, even viewing a file on the Lacie has caused my Finder to crash, requiring a restart of my iMac.
I'm sure I've left something off I've tried but you get the idea.
I've read that maybe I can transfer my files using Terminal. Yes/No? Does this bypass any corruption the files may have?
What about creating a second partition on the Lacie and moving files over to the second partition? Does this solve anything? I don't know anything about partitioning so maybe I'm talking crazy.
I've also read that iPhoto tends to corrupt files which makes me hate iPhoto, and myself for not backing up.
And I've read a lot about error -36's and none of it sounds good so I'm just hoping that someone might have other suggestions for me to try and save my files (especially my iPhoto files which include baby pictures that if I lose, my wife will kill me).
So if anyone has any ideas, let me know. Please. I'll try anything.

Hi Aaron Thompson-
I am fairly certain you have a bad power supply brick to the LaCie drive. This is a hard problem to troubleshoot as generally when the bricks go bad they do so slowly and the drive appears to power up and stuff but it just doesn't work.
If the drive is under warranty LaCie will replace the brick at no charge. Otherwise they sell them for around $20US on their website.
Luck-

How to delete invisible file created by iPhoto

I use MacBook and keep my iPhoto library on external hard drive. External disk got disconnected accidentally and I was requested to import the library again.
I imported library from my external drive but the file created by iPhoto is not visible and I cannot find it either in folder Pictures or using Spotlight. However, I can see that available space on my MacBook hard drive is reduced for 10GB, which is actually the size of my iPhoto library.
Any suggestion how to find invisible file created by iPhoto and delete it from the hard disk on my computer? Many thanks for your help.

Do a Spotlight search for "Library6.iPhoto" on your boot drive and that will tell you where the iPhoto LIbrary is hiding.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Dragging files out of iPhoto

I was uploading photos to fotki out of iPhoto and I noticed that even though I dragged the modified photos out of iPhoto only the original file got uploaded. Is there any way of dragging the photo out of iPhoto, but still retain the modifications made to the picture? I don't want to have to go into the modified folder since this would take forever for batch uploads. It's much easier to drag the pictures right off of iPhoto.
Thanks

Exit:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you dragging to the desktop first? That has always given me the edited version. If it's not for you, rebuild the library as follows and try again: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.

Changing File Names in iPhoto

I changed the name of several pictures in iphoto, and when I uploaded the pictures to a website to print, I was very frustrated that the file names were the same and I could not see which photos I had marked. So I went to each picture and changed the actual file name. Now those pictures do not show up in iphoto (although I can open them if I click on show original file), but what's worse, they won't upload to a website, which was my whole purpose in doing this in the first place. I can't even click on the original file to upload. So I guess I'm wondering how I can undo the file name changes and go back to the original file names so I can upload these pictures. I greatly appreciate any help!

iPhoto is a SQL database and you can not change the files names within iPhoto
I changed the name of several pictures in iphoto
That does not affect the file name - that is the title only used for display within iPhoto or when you export -
You can do it when you export - select the photos and export (file menu ==> export) and select the use title as file name option
So I went to each picture and changed the actual file name. Now those pictures do not show up in iphoto
Right you have corrupted your SQL database by making change to it - the first rule of iPhoto (and all database maangement systems) is to NEVER make any changes directly to the structure or content of the database - all changes MUST be made using iPhoto only. This is why the iPhoto library is a package and you ae to take special steps to get into it - there are no user servicable parts in the iPhoto library
So I guess I'm wondering how I can undo the file name changes and go back to the original file names so I can upload these pictures.
best way is to load your backup from before you destroyed your library
only other choices are to restore the file names to exactly what they were prior to your error or creating a totally new iPhoto library from your original photos losing all edits, metadata changes, etc.

Is there an ap for finding/deleting corrupt files on OS X 10.7?

I seem to have a corrupt file(s) which cause my MacBook Pro to freeze inexplicably (and randomly) upon start-up. I've been told that this is a symptom of having a corrupt file.
Is there an an for finding/deleting corrupt files on OS X 10.7?
I'm pretty much bound to my computer and simply don't have the time to go through it manually.
Thank you.

This is an old post and I am not the person who posted the original query, but I ran your terminal diagnostic and am hoping you are still attending to this forum. I have a mid 2011 macbook Air 11", 256 GB SSD, 1.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Mac OS X v. 10.7.5 Lion. I have had various problems in my user homefolder for a while. I have gone through quite a few other troubleshooting and fixing steps, the most extensive following a posting here "Step by Step to fix your mac" by ds store in the Apple forums. These steps helped a lot. I did remove some 3rd party software as part of this process.
My computer is running well in general now, but one thing that has been a recurring problem is problems with move/cut-paste. I researched this online and ACL's being present where they're not supposed to be seems to be an issue. I have used terminal commands to remove ACL's, used Onyx to repair user permissions, rebooted with command-r to reset password screen and reset user permissions. They all help, but then a some point later on the problem recurs. When I run repair disk permissions with either disk utility or onyx I always get this message:
Repairing permissions for “maggieairHD”
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
ACL found but not expected on “Users”
Repaired “Users”
Permissions repair complete
This ALWAYS comes up, even if I run it immediately after running it and haven't done anything else on the computer in between.
I created another user and did not have the same problems I was having at the time with some programs, although I haven't used it that much to be able to really compare. The home folder permissions repair in Onyx comes out the same in that user, though.
Here are my results from your diagnostic terminal commands:

Maggies-MacBook-Air:~ maggieair$ osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get the name of every login item'
NoSleep, iTunesHelper, Caffeine, Dropbox
Maggies-MacBook-Air:~ maggieair$
I have removed NoSleep, Caffeine, itunesHelper and Dropbox from login items before and didn't notice any difference, so I put them back. Some of these I know I don't want, like rim/blackberry, adobe AIR. Skype has never worked consistently on this computer. I don't use most of these Services, and I know I had trouble with some that were not compatible with Lion before. I am not using Parallels much now, have been thinking about taking it off as it uses a chunk of my SSD. But I don't feel confident about getting rid of .frameworks etc safely.
I am glad to remove anything I don't use if I know how to do it safely. I am willing to remove anything I do use if it's necessary, but obviously would prefer to find a way to keep things that I find helpful.
I appreciate any suggestions!

Importing File Structure into iPhoto

I need help (or perhaps someone could kindly point me in the right direction) importing the file structure I had set up for my photos. Currently, I have my photos filed in an external drive. The structure I have created is, for example, 2008 folder, then under that 2008 folder I have a folder for each month, then in each month I have an events folder (christmas, tree cutting, etc...). This would look something like this: 2008/12/Christmas Day. Is there a way to import this structure into iPhoto?
Thanks for the help... (if you've made it this far!)!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can achieve that by using virtual folders, 2007, 2008, etc. and the have smart albums in each of those folder for the months. The criteria for the January smart album would be "Date is the range 01/01/2007 to 01/31/2007".
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
