Created " iPhoto Library"  ontop of my "iPhoto Library" and lost pictures

Hello,
I was trying to create a new iPhoto Library file. I held down the option key and created a new file. But I forgot to give it a different name. Now I can not find my photos from the first "iPhoto Library" anywhere.
I'm surprised at how easy this was to do accidentally. It never asked me "Are you sure you want to replace the exsisting iPhoto Library." as one might expect.
My library is on a second hard drive that I have not touched yet. So I imagine the files are still there, just somehow the directory overwritten. Help!
I do own Data Rescue by Prosoft, but I'm hoping to find an easier/cleaner solution. I can't imagine that I'm the only person to have ever made this mistake. Thanks in advance.

In the circumstances you describe, it's iunlikely to have overwritten the Original library. The new library will have been called iPhoto Library Folder_1.
Try holding down the option (or alt) key bution again, on launching iPhoto, choose LOCATE and navigate to the library location. See if that helps.
Regards

  • IPhoto: Imported and Lost Pictures

    I have just imported my pics during a normal sync, I could see them imported on Iphoto but when I wanted to see them on the events tabs they couldn't be accessed. I closed Iphoto hoping to reset the "glitch" and when back in iPhoto the pice were gone, lucliky this time I didn't let the app to erase the pics (last time I did and lost a bunch!).
    This is not the first time I import pic and I've done it multiple times, but lately I've been having this problem.
    Any Ideas?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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 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. .

  • I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing.  I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

    I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing.  I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

    How did you rebuild?
    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 allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    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 on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll 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.

  • How the **** do i get back my library i was just using.No didn't save image or restore been using it for months the same way no tells me to choose or create a library and my previous versions don't recover

    How the **** do i get back my library i was just using.No didn't save image or restore been using it for months the same way no tells me to choose or create a library and my previous versions don't recover.Please help I just deleted all doubles did allmy artwork Etc..

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • I updated iPhoto 4 with iPhoto 5 and lost all my photos!

    I updated iPhoto 4 with iPhoto 5 and lost all my FRICKIN photos! Anyone else have this problem? If I do a search for img_ I do get about 3800 photos, so they do still seem to exist in various locations with multiple duplicates and/or photos that are different but have the same name. I know if I try moving them all to one location I'll get the message "Do you want to replace?" many many times. Any suggestions?

  • Upgraded to iPhoto 6 and lost link to images/photos in iPhoto Library

    I just installed a 160 GB hard drive (70GB free) and iLife06 upgrade on iMc G5 with 768 MB. When I ran iPhoto it shows all original folders and rolls but thumbnails are blank and exclamation mark in edit mode and no images found. My iPhoto Library folder is in finder>picture and contains 6000 photos with original, data, modified, recovered and Library6.iPhoto folders among others. I have tried Apples recommended iPhoto Library rebuilding recommendations without success. I am trying to restore to original configuration to keep all past iDVD slides shows and videos active and working. I installed the larger hard drive and iLife because iLife04 iPhoto kept crashing when opening. I thought I needed more hard drive capacity and iLife06 advertised ability to handle greater number of photos. Please help, I have tried everything I found on discussions.

    CK:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To see if the database file is readable use iPhoto Library Manager. If it can see the slideshows, rolls, etc. than there's a chance rebuilding the library with iPLM can save them. If iPLM cannot access the library then I'm afraid the dB file is damaged beyond recovery. If you have to start afresh here's a possible way you might be able to recover the keywords. Check in the library and see if clicking on a keyword will bring up, even though they are blank, a specific set of photos. If so then you can try to follow Tutorial #1 to write the keywords back to the actual original files. Then do the following:
    1 - move the old iPhoto Library folder to the desktop.
    2 - launch iPhoto and create a new library.
    3 - drag the "Originals" folder from the old library folder into iPhoto's open window.
    This will generate a new library with the same rolls as were in the old library. Some of the roll dates may be changed however. The keywords will be retained if Tutorial #1 worked.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against future iPhoto database corruption that you and 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 have deleted the iphoto library and lost my photo's......

    i have deleted the iphoto library and cleared my trash and now all my photo's are gone. I have bought software to retrieve deleted data but not sure what file I am looking for. Can anybody help?

    best solution is to restore yoru backup form before you made this error - that is the reason you must always have a good backup
    If you don't you should start backing up immediately
    to use the photos you recovered you look for photos (typically they have a .jpg or .jpeg extention to the name - and select the largest version  of each photo and import it into iPhoto
    Note that for not much more that the cost of the data recovery software you could have had an extrnal hard drive and been running TimeMachine so none of this would be required

  • Created "2nd" library and previous library is empty

    I wanted to create a seperate library to store my Audiobooks on. I did so, then went back and selected "Previous Library" and found that it opens up the same as the new one - empty! All of my old files are still on my computer under iTunes Media Folder. However, the "Previous Library" folder and the new "Audiobook Library are empty. How can I associate these files with the "Previous Library"? Thanks in advance for the help

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    It sounds like, as you've been "organising" your photos in the folders, you've got rid of your pics and kept the wee thumbnails that iPhoto uses for display.
    So, what did you do with your actual photos? The "fix" is to get them back from where ever you put them.

  • Creating iphoto book and can't seem to view/ work on only one page at a time.

    I am creating an iPhoto book and can't seem to view/work on only one page at a time.  The Navigator, that allows you to focus on a part of the page is actually 1 1/2 pages in size so 1 1/2 pages are in view when trying to work on one page.  What am I doing wrong or how can I fix this.  It is very distracting viewing half of a previous page when trying to create a new page and write a story to go with the related pictures.

    My Navigator seems to be to large.  It covers 1 1/2 pages while in the training information it shows as the size of one page.  Is there a way to adjust the size of the Navigator?
    You can hover the mouse over the left border of the Navigator - then the cursor will turn into a resize cursor and you can drag the border and make the Navigator panel smaller by enlarging the source list.
    Or drag the lower right corner of the iPhoto window and shrink the appliaction window. This will only make the navigator smaller - the source list and information panel will stay the same size.

  • Updated to iPhoto 6 and lost all photos!!!

    i just updated my iphoto to the newest version and when i tried to open it all of my photos were gone. i still have them saved in my iphoto library but when i try to import them back onto iphoto it will not work. this is very frustrating and i would appreciate it if someone could help me out here because i am on vacation in europe at the moment and cannot access my photo albums i have been updating!

    natasharileyparish:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If Terence's suggestion regarding rebuilding the library does not bring your library back you'll probably have to start with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library. Here's how:
    Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
    Once this is completed you can delete the iPhoto library folder from the desktop. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
    In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.

  • Imported photos, deleted originals, then iphoto crashed and lost everything

    I imported photos from my iphone, deleted the originals (i never do this, but figured, it's a new year so i should start cleaning up my phone!), and then iphoto crashed and now the photos i imported are nowhere to be found! help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's still a good chance that the photos are in the library but just not being recognized by iPhoto. Backup the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    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 the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
    Click to view full size
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    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 User/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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.

  • IPhoto folders and duplicated pictures

    I've just swith to Mac, and I love it. Importing my pictures from my pc was easy, however somehow I ended up with the following folders under iPhoto Library:
    -Data
    -Modified
    -Originals
    Can someone explain to me how were these folders created?
    Aditionally, when I spotligth a picture it appears on two locations (generally under Originals and Data folders, or Originals and modified) Do I have duplicated pictures? How can I look for duplicated pictures?
    Many thanks
    Pedro

    vote_4pedro:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Those three folders are created by iPhoto automatically to hold the following:
    Data - thumbnail files for each file imported into iPhoto and viewed in the thumbnail mode up to a certain size, after which the original file is used. This speeds up launching of iPhoto as it does not have to read and render the full sized image files.
    Modified - every time you do an edit iPhoto creates this modified file and applies the edit to that file. This allows you to revert to original any time you need the original file.
    Originals - these the the files that get imported into iPhoto.
    Having these different folders and files is how iPhoto operates and they should not be tampered with from the Finder: Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. To do so will damage the library and render it unusable for the most part.

  • Upgraded to iphoto 11 and lost all pictures

    Perhaps my question has been answered in another area, but I couldn't find it.  I, like others who have upgraded to iphoto 11 have lost all my pictures.  They are not on the new iphoto version nor in any of the picture library files.  Are they gone?  If not, where do I start looking for them?  Never had a problem like this before.  Any Advice?
    Thanks.

    What system are you running and what version of iPhoto do you currenty have? How did you perform the upgrade? From an iLife disc or from the App Store?
    Is there an iPhoto Library package in your Pictures fodler?  If so what is its size as shown in the Finder?
    Is that size large enought to include your photos?

  • Photo library and iphone pictures

    I have an Iphone 3gs.
    The problem is in Photos.
    I should be showing the following
    Camera roll
    Photo stream
    Iphone Pictures
    And I am
    But I am also showing
    Photo Library
    Which is a Duplicate of Iphone Pictures
    When I go into Itunes to the "select photos from" menu and pick "Iphone Pictures",
    Itunes will duplicate the Iphone Pictures album with one called "Photo Library".
    When I look on my PC I find Iphone Pictures but do not find "Photo Library".
    When I move the Iphone Pictures album to a different directory and replace it with a new
    one, the Photo library goes away. Then I try to copy and paste the photos to the new
    "Iphone  Pictures" folder and resync. The Photo Library comes back as a duplicate again.
    This is frustrating.
    Please Help

    This is the way Apple handles photos on the iphone.  it is normal and is correct.
    Just as a book can be in the library and in the fiction section, a pic can be accessed from the folder you sync and the photo library.  There are noe two copies, simply two places from which to access the same photo.
    If you add several folders/albums, then all pics can be accessed from photo library, and the same photos can be accessed from their respective folders.
