Deleted library after latest update!

I upgraded to the latest version of iPhoto (9.3.1) on my MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.7.4... and now my iPhoto library is partly – mostly – deleted. Used to be more than 34.000 images, and now only 800....!!
However, I can see the images in the folders in iPhoto that I created earlier, but in the library; no. Also, I have created a Best Of smart folder where my five star images go. That folder is empty, but I still find starred images among the folders. Why aren't the showing up in my smart folder..???
Please advice me what to do. :-)

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.

  • After latest updates cannot stream from iPad to AppleTV

    After latest updates on my New Ipad and Apple TV 2nd Generation, Canot stream video from the iPad to Apple TV.
    I Can Stream from my iMac and from MacBook Pro, but not from iPad.
    Any Advise?
    Thanks.

    Hey guys, unfortunately I've had to re-install Mountain Lion to get rid of the issue, but here's my experiences after trying many things and contacting AppleCare...
    First, I had Lion and had upgraded to ML. They had me go do the following with limited success:
    1) Reset PRAM (no effect)
    2) Recovery Disk and repair permissions (no effect)
    3) Went to system /Library and User /Library and basically we went through several attempts at removing various files from (/Library/InputMethods, /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons") Once I had essentially removed every file and dragged it into the trash (without deleting), the issue was resolved. So, it seems to point to an application that was not fully supported or giving problems within the ML environment. The plan was to drag them one by one back and do reboot/shutdown until I could isolate the application, but rather than do that, I just did a fresh install to take out any variable that could be present from having to do a Lion/ML upgrade. I was able to put a fresh copy of ML on the computer through the Recovery partition after establishing connection to my router. Everything is working fine now.
    Anyway, hope that helps some of you. It was a frustrating experience but seems to point to application issues wih the OS and not the OS itself. I think developers are still rushing to catch up with full ML support and so you might find yourself having many new updates in drivers or applications over the next month.

  • After latest update 1 feb 2014 error msvcr80.dll was not found

    after latest update 1 feb 2014 on both my desk top running vista and my lap top running xp both crashed and now itunes wont open i just get failed to star because msvcr80.dll was not found obviously i tunes has a serious bug Help
    huve uninstalled from laptop and re-installed with same result

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Open GL issue after latest updates: Missing GL version

    Having issues with OpenGL after latest updates to OSX and Safari. iTunes will not display cover art and Angry Birds responds glewInit failed: Missing GL version. The is a Mac Pro with 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.
    Anyelse seen this? How is this fixed?

    Final chapter in this saga for anyone else who experiences this.......run reparPermissions against your disks prior to upgrading. After having to rebuild the boot disk a couple of times and upgrade, had no problems with 10.7.4 but would always get Missing GL Version after Safari update. Ran DiskUtil and repaired permissions prior to Safari update and finally got it to pdate without causing GL issue.
    Still working on how to not need to delete my previous backups when rebuilding machine (apparently TimeMachine always tries to create a new back sparse folder and thus may waste original space from your previous backups).
    Thanks to A Brody for the suggestion about repairing disk permissions!

  • You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

    You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
    Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
    I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
    I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
    I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

    I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
    pref .js deleted.
    I could not find a user.js
    I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
    No idea what protected mode is
    no new profile, I've never done this.
    Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
    I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
    Thanks for the help.

  • After latest update, unable to play games on CNN. Message says needs flash player. Worked fine before update

    After latest update, unable to play games on CNN or view some web pages. Says flash player required. Everything worked fine before update.

    Hi..
    Try uninstalling the current Flash plugin then reinstall new >   Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    If you are running v10.7 >  Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Relaunch your browser after reinstalling the Flash. Assuming your are using Safari, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a game on CNN.

  • After latest update Mountain Lion, fan never stop working!

    Hi all
    After latest update (26/9/2012 in my case) of Mountain Lion, the fan start working and never stops (Macbook pro 5,5).
    Any other have sam issue?
    Already tried to reboot SMC and delete everything starting from snow leopard but problem still exist!!!
    Thanks.

    I keep an old wired keyboard and wired mouse for just such emergencies, but that is not helping you now.  There are at least a couple of things that could account for the disappearance of the Bluetooth preference pane.
    There may have been a glitch in the installation.
    The preference pane will not be displayed if the bluetooth transceiver was not detected when the computer started.
    This may seem too obvious, but try completely powering down using the power button on your Mac mini. Wait at least 30 seconds for everything in the mini to fully discharge. While you are waiting to restart, check/replace the batteries in your wireless keyboard and mouse or trackpad. Restart using the power button on the Mac mini.
    If that does not work almost anything else will require the use of a wired keyboard and mouse. For years I have kept a wired keyboard and mouse around for just such an emergency, but in a fit of spring cleaning they were discarded. I ended up having to buy a cheap USB mouse and keyboard at Radio Shack (under $20 for the pair but no command key). But, with any kind of luck, you should be able to borrow a wired keyboard and mouse to get this fixed. Once you have a functioning keyboard and mouse you could...
    Be sure Bluetooth is turned ON in System Preferences
    Install the OS X 10.8.4 (Combo) updater or
    Boot into the recovery drive (Reboot while holding down Command + R) and reinstall OS X 10.8.4

  • Slowdown of safari after latest update ?

    Anyone have the same problem with Safari after latest update: very slow especially when downloading images ?
    MacBook Pro Retina 15"
    Yosemite 10.10.3

    There are many possible causes for problems with web browsing. Below are some simple steps that may help either to solve the problem or isolate the cause.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Restart your router and also your broadband device, if they're separate.
    2. If you connect to the the router with Wi-Fi, turn off Wi-Fi and then back on.
    3. If you connect with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi.
    4. If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed.
    5. Select the Extensions tab in the Preferences window. Turn all extensions OFF and test. If there's an improvement, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    6. If you're running OS X 10.10 or later, select the Search tab. Uncheck the box marked
              Enable Quick Website Search
    if it's checked.
    7. If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Quit and relaunch the browser.
    8. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest.
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    9. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    10. If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test.
    11. If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test.
    12. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the boxes marked Safari and Photos, if they're checked.
    13. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and if so, are they affected?
    14. If you can, test Safari on another network.
    15. Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.

    Does anybody have an idea to what might be going on?
    Enabling DRI and disabling DRI doesn't help.  Updating to the latest wine 0.9.30-1 also didn't change anything.

    Problem is solved.  Had to delete the .wine folder.  Lost all utorrent settings, but it works again now.

  • Netflix will not play on my Mac anymore after latest update...HELP!!

    After latest update, Netflix will no longer play.  When I select a movie, it prompts me to install Microsoft Silverlight, which I have repeatedly done.  Netflix claims the latest MAC update is to blame, not a Netflix issue....PLEASE, any assistance is greatly appreciated.
