Cropping ability lost on upgrade to iPhoto 6

I upgraded to 6.0.2. Pictures came over fine and ability to do sepia, etc. works. But although I can go through the cropping motions, when I go to save the work, the action reverts to the original picture without the cropping being done. Any one there who can help me correct this? Yes, iPhoto 5 was superior in that regard. Thanks.

Right. I click on the crop button, do my cropping then hit the done button and the image just returns to its place but the crop did not take hold. I have also cropped the image without hitting the crop button, just clicked on the image and done the cropping. Then I hit the done button but alas nothing was done.

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I upgraded to iPhoto 11 and I lost all of my photos. What can I do?

    I upgraded to iPhoto 11 and I lost all of my photos. Only empty thumbnails show up. I don't have anypther backup. What can I do?

    Open your iPhoto Library package as shown in this screenshot,
    and look inside the subfolders in the Masters folder to see if you orignal files are still there.  If they are try the following:  make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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.
    If neither of the above help you'll need to:
    Start over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window.
    Click to view full size
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • 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?

    I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8.   I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events.  If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?

    From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  • Lost photos when upgraded to Iphoto 11 - Time machine is off.

    I just upgraded my iphoto and have lost all my photos. When I upgraded it was pretty quick and asked me which iphoto I wanted to use. I clicked on the first one. It didn't open the first time but the second time it opened fine...NOW ALL MY PHOTOS ARE GONE! My time machine is off (apparently the computer comes like that and you have to turn it on) and I have no backup!
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

  • I lost all my photos when I upgraded from Iphoto to Photos

    I lost all my photos when I upgrade from Iphoto to photos, can I get back? please help

    You need to provide more details about what happened.  But, here is something you can check.
    When you run Photo and it converts your library, it doesn't delete the iPhoto library.  Look in your Pictures folder - you should see two libraries:
    iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary (this is the original iPhoto library)
    Photos Library.photoslibrary (this is the new Photos library)
    You should still be able to open the original iPhoto library.  The iPhoto application was not deleted from your computer.  (It was probably removed from your Dock if you had an icon there.)  Look in the Applications folder, find iPhoto, and run it.  It should show your original library with all your original images. 
    It is always a good idea to back up your photos (and the iPhoto library) before trying these migrations.  Problems do occur...
    Hope this helps.

  • Rebuilding iPhoto '05 database before upgrading to iPhoto '06 lost images

    Because of the bizarre library problems I've been having, I downgraded to iPhoto '05, put my backed-up iPhoto library back in place and had iPhoto '05 rebuild the database.
    When I upgraded to iPhoto '06 and my database was converted, I poked around my old film rolls to make sure everything worked. In several instances, I could see thumbnails, but when I tried to view the picture in edit mode, I got a blank screen with a grey X.
    I looked in the Originals and Modified folders and confirmed that the photos were gone.
    Any idea what could have caused this? I never modify my iPhoto library manually, so I'm fairly sure I didn't bork something myself.
    thanks in advance,
    -don

  • RAW changed to TIFF in upgrade to iPhoto '08

    When we upgraded from iPhoto 4 to iPhoto ’08, we allowed the newly installed program to convert our old iPhoto library into the new format. Everything seems to be OK except for RAW images from a Nikon D80 with file extension .NEF. All of the .NEF images which were in iPhoto before iPhoto converted them are now identified in the iPhoto information box as "kind TIFF Image". They do not display as sharp images in iPhoto.
    For the record, images uploaded from the same camera after upgrading iPhoto appear as sharp photos and are correctly identified as “kind Nikon Raw”. We knew that iPhoto 4 could not work with RAW photos, but it allowed us to upload them and see and label their chunky images, and we believed that they would be preserved when we upgraded the program. This was one reason we chose to upgrade. Unfortunately, we didn't realize the scope of this problem until after we had deleted our backup of the iPhoto 4 photo library.
    If we export one of these misidentified images, then change the file extension of the exported image to .NEF from .TIF, and then import it into iPhoto again, the problem is corrected, but the description we have entered for the photo is lost. (Keywords would also be lost, but we hadn’t used them.)
    Why did this happen? Could we have prevented it? Is there a way to correct the identification of these images and preserve the descriptions we have entered for them? Is there a way to correct all of our approximately 1000 RAW images all at once or to automate the file extension changes?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Other users have reported similar problems, mostly with Canon raw files. Do a search in the iPhoto forum for "raw to tiff" and you'll get a list of the threads where it is discussed. There may be an solution or explanation in there.
    Metadata can only be written to jpg or tiff files by iPhoto. So exporting the raw files to the desktop cannot include the metadata you added. Keywords and comments added to a Nikon NEF file by other applications, iView MediaPro, do not get imported into iPhoto. iPhoto creates a jpg version of the file for display and editing and the metadata does not get transferred to it.
    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 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 08 libraries 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.

  • Cannot see photos after upgrading to iPhoto 9.1.3

    I upgraded my iPhoto to 9.1.3 and now I cannot see some of my photos.  iPhoto indicates the photos are there, but all I see is blank dotted frames where thumbnails should be. When I click on one of the photos I get a gray out frame with an exclamation in the middle.  I tried rebuilding the library/thumbnails, extracting using iPhoto LIbrary Manager, checking disk permissions/repairing in Utilties, etc.  I tried every suggestions and recommendations I found on the net, but I still cannot see those files.  I regret deleting them off my camera disc.  These are the only masters I have.  So I can't copy them back into the library. If anyone know how I can retrieve these files, please let me know.   I also went back in my Time Machine and the same files are all empty gray frames.  All I know is that the files were "visible" before the upgrade and now I can't see them after the upgrade.  Any suggestions?

    Hi - yes I did that last night and unlike rebuilding via control option route, IPLM did not rebuild those files.  It stated they do not exist.  I double checked by "Show Package Contents" and the master of those files is no longer there.  My next move is to go into Time Machine and see if I can restore the library from when the files were still in there (though unseen by iPhoto) and hope the master are still recoverable.  If that doesn't work, then I'm at the point of accepting that perhaps I may have lost 51 photos (1 event) during this upgrade.  I'm still open to suggestions though.

  • Trouble upgrading from iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 to latest version

    Currently, I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 and want to SAFELY upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto (and I have already upgraded to Lion). I've heard about a lot of lost data when doing this!  I started by trying to install version 9.0.1 it won't load on my hard drive saying that I need to install version 9.0 first.  I thought about just going ahead with iPhoto '11 but I'm confused and don't want to risk losing data.  Any suggstions?

    Make a back up before upgrading anything.
    Somewhat confusing but iPhoto 11 and iPhoto v9 are the same thing. 11 is the marketing name for version 9 of iPhoto - like 09 is the marketing name of version 8 of iPhoto.
    To upgrade to iPhoto 11 (v9) you need to purchase it. You can do this on the App Store.

  • Upgraded to IPhoto 6:  Crashes and missing photos

    Recently upgraded to IPhoto 6. I've had all previous incarnations of Iphoto and never had any issues up until now. After install, I was prompted to "rebuild my thumbnail cache", which I did. It crashed halfway through and I sent a note to Apple. Tried it again. Crashed again. Noticed that IPhoto had created 3 new rolls comprised of photos that were 3 to 4 years old, probably from the first IPhoto. In doing that, it lost my last three rolls, possibly more but I haven't noticed specifically. I had backed up my library using Retrospect to an external hard drive so I have all of the photos safely. How should I correct/fix this? Also, how can I get rid of all of my thumbnails. I absolutely hate them, they are useless clutter. Thanks in Advance.

    Ed44:
    Did you figure out how to get iPLM up and running and rebuild the library?
    Can you describe how you went about copying the other library folder over, where you placed it and how you went about importing?
    You should just try placing that library folder in your Pictures folder, launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, locate and select that newly copied library folder.
    HOWEVER, after copying it to your Pictures folder and before launching iPhoto download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    See if that will help.

  • Problems with iPhoto upgrader on iPhoto 7.1.5. HELP!

    I installed and ran the iPhoto upgrader for iPhoto 7 in preparation to install a newer version of iPhoto (9 or later) so that i can get photo album and books printed via iPhoto.  I downloaded a number of available iPhoto 9 upgrades, but none worked even through i had run the upgrader.  I am now stuck with a MacBook (OS X 10.7.5) with a version of iPhoto that won't open (error message: You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto) and also wo';t allow me to install any iPhoto upgrades.  Help!  I have tried to restore iPhoto from time machine, but that hasn't worked, plus trying the original install disk for my laptop hasn't worked, presumably because i have upgraded the OS a few times since i got it (it's a late 2008 dinosaur of a macbook!).  I am worried that now i have lost my photos and will have to pay 50 quid for a iLife disk with no guarantee that it will work.  All i really want to do is un-install the upgrader and return iPhoto to it's original 7.1.5 state.  Is that possible? Also how can i check that my photos are still stored somewhere without being able to open iPhoto? Please help! Thank you.

    You only need to run the upgrader if you have iPhoto 9.5.  It's not needed for other iPhoto 9 versions, i.e. 9.0 thru 9.4.3.
    You might be able to downgrade that library by following this iPhoto LIbrary Manager tutorial: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto

  • Upgrade to Iphoto 6 wiped out all albums

    One of my clients upgraded to iphoto 6 and it erased all of his albums (the originals are still in the library, however all of his organized albums are gone).
    This also happened to his itunes when he upgraded.
    Is there something that can be done to recover these and/ or something to do in the future to avoid it for the next update when its available?
    Thanks much,
    Logan

    Logan:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Does your client still have a copy of the previous library folder? If not then I don't think there's much he can do. They can try rebuilding the library and see if that will help but I don't think it will . The library database file has been damaged. Give it a try anyway. Here's how:
    launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three option.
    If they do have a copy of the previous library have them try the following:
    1 - copy the current library to the Desktop
    2 - copy the previous version library folder into the Pictures folder.
    3 - download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    4 - launch iPhoto and it should indicate that the library needs updating and proceed.
