During a library rebuild, 'Restoring Faces' continues endlessly...I have no faces identified in my pictures.

During an Aperture Library rebuild, process hangs at RESTORING FACES for hours, rebuild does not progress beyond this stagnation. My library contains no identified faces to restore.
Rebuild was indicated when I attempted to update my vault.

Try an All Images Search:
In the Finder:
Command - f
Kind: Images
Size: Greater than 300kb (This is to avoid all the thumbnails, icons and so on.)
Set it to search the Mac.
As to why? The most likely answer is user error, I'm afriad. It does point up the importantce of always having a back up.

Hanging during library rebuild

I was finding way too many black triangles in my 135 GB library.
So I decided to try and rebuild the library using options 1,2, and 6 in the rebuild library option screen. The library is on a 500 GB USB external drive with nothing but the iphoto library on it. It is connected to a Intel Core Duo Mini running 10.6.8 and iphoto 9.1.5
I started in Wednesday October 5th.
The screen show:
"Examining photo library..."
and another window:
"Rebuilding library: 26560 Version restored."
The grey wheel is still spinning.
It has hung on this screen for 71 hours and counting...
I have a screenshot at this link:
/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/162/16299336-1.png
QUESTION:
1. Since my database is 135 GB with 26,560 photos/videos is it expected to take this long?
2. If not, then what can I do differently?

That's way too long. Quit iPhoto, use Force Quit if you have to. Then try rebuilding just the preferences option (#6) to see if you can get thru that. If you do then try #1 and #2.
I don't have a library that large but for a 2,500 photo library rebuilding only takes about a 40 seconds using those three options. So by scaling I would expect your library should take around 5 minutes. However, with the library on an external USB drive it will take longer. Don't know what the speed difference will be.
After #6 I'd try #1 next. The automatic backup of #2 may be damaged.
If none of the iPhoto rebuilds fix your library you're next step is this:
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.

Face recognition endless

ML and IPhoto: Face recognition is working endless since 2 days! Due to that drag and drop pictures in albums is not possible anymore. Tried rebuilding Library etc. but no success. Tried deleting faces.db but still no success. Face recognition is still running even faces are all finished.

So you rebuilt with iPhoto's own tools? If they fail then my next step would be to 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.

Error 18000 during outlook 2011 rebuild

After recently having the hard drive in my iMac replaced, I get an "Your database could not be rebuilt. [-Error 18000]" when I try to restore my applications from Time Machine. How do I get past this problem.

There are two different ways you can recover your data. The first way is basically following the instructions at http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/05/how-to-recover-your-data-when-rebuilding -restoring-and-upgrading-fails/, however, with the following modification.
Do NOT copy the folder “FOLDERS”, but copy “CATEGORIES” instead.
This will result in you being able to recover all of your data, but you would lose all you folder names and hierarchical structure. (Eg. I had 10 folders at the top of my hierarchy, with loads of subfolders inside subfolders inside subfolders etc… In total the number of folders I have is 558). When my data was recovered in this manner, I had 558 folders at the top level all named “Recovered Folder 1″, “Recovered Folder 2″, “Recovered Folder 3″, etc… Obviously, it would be a nightmare to try and rebuild that hierarchical structure again. In fact, in my case, it would almost be impossible. If you don’t share my problem of having to recover the folders named and organised and sorted, and you just need your messages back, then this first solution would be easier for you.
One thing to keep in mind though, before I start explaining the second recovery method, is that memory is the key to recovery. My database is 12.7GB and I had 120GB of free space on my hard drive, but that failed to recover. It even failed to rebuild a non-corrupted identity. And so I freed up some space and tried again with 200GB of free space on my hard drive, but that failed too. I freed up even more space and tried again with 310GB of free space on my hard drive, and that succeeded to build. (WIERD BUT VERY TRUE) I also did notice that during the rebuild, my computer was using about 6.8GB of RAM. So, I would recommend that you make sure you have at least 300GB of free space on your hard disk and at least 8GB of RAM installed. Otherwise, you would just be wasting your valuable time. By the way, these memory constraints apply to both of the recovery procedures; the one described above and the other one described below.
If you wish to rescue your folder structure, read the steps below very carefully and try to follow them precisely and hopefully you will be able to recover your data.
1. Make a duplicate copy of your data to work with and keep your original corrupted identity safe in case this method of recovery doesn’t work for you.
2. Use the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768 to completely remove all Microsoft Office from your system.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Install the original Office 2011 14.0.0 onto your computer, and make sure it is activated.
5. Open a blank document in Microsoft Word, and allow it to fully load up. Then quit Word.
6. Launch Microsoft Auto Update and upgrade Office to SP1 14.1.0. Make sure that you do not install any later updates than that.
7. Open a blank document in Microsoft Word, and allow it to fully load up. Then quit Word.
8. Manually download and intsall update 14.1.4 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28405.
9. Disconnect your computer from the Internet and do NOT reconnect it again until you have completed the recovery.
10. Open the Microsoft Database Utility, and delete all the existing identities. There should only be one. Your corrupted identity should not appear in there. DO NOT DELETE IT if it is there (you must have done something wrong….start over).
11. Now that there are no identities in the list, create a new blank identity. It will automatically be named “Identity 1″.
12. Quit the database utility.
13. In the duplicate of your corrupted identity (created in step 1), delete the database file. Then navigate to the “Data Records” folder and delete the “Database Headers” folder.
14. Now copy the “Database Headers” folder from “/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Indentity 1/Data Records” and paste it inside the “Data Records” folder of the duplicate of your corrupted identity. What you have done now, is copy a clean “Database Headers” folder that has database headers in version 14.1.4. What you intend to do here, is trick the database utility v14.1.4 to think that your SP2 identity conforms to its own version and will then attempt to rebuild it.
15. Delete “Identity 1″ from the location mentioned in the previous step (you won’t need it anymore) and then move the duplicate of your corrupted identity in its place.
16. Now launch the database utility, and you should only see that duplicate of your corrupted identity. Nothing else should be listed there. Now click Rebuild and keep your fingers crossed (that’s of course only if you have enough memory as explained earlier. Otherwise, it would just be a waste of your time because the rebuild will probable fail).
17. You should receive a message saying that your database was rebuilt successfully. Now, quit the database utility.
18. While you are still disconnected from the internet, start Microsoft Outlook. (and there you go, all your data back in front of your eyes….with all the folder structures maintained)……BUT HOLD ON, you’re not done yet.
19. Follow steps 1,2,3, and 4 from http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/05/how-to-move-your-data-to-a-new-identity/
20. Once you have quit Outlook in step 4 at that link in the previous step, start Microsoft AutoUpdate and install all available updates until you Office is updated to 14.2.4.
21. Now go back to http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/05/how-to-move-your-data-to-a-new-identity/ and skip step 5. Go to Step 6 and continue to the end of that document.
22. You should now have your Outlook looking exactly as it did the day your identity got corrupted, hopefully with no data lost at all.
GOOD LUCK!!

My photos disappear from my iPhoto after a crash of iPhoto, I've restored the entire iPhoto library through time machine but still i have no photos in my iPhoto

I have an iMac which I've upgraded to Yosemite. then I experienced a crash on iPhoto and needed to restore the entire (135 GB) iPhoto library through Time machine. Now I can see the iPhoto library through finder but can't move them to iphoto
Can you help me please? thanks so much!

Try the following on your library:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - 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
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

IPhoto '09 library rebuild has no "Repair Library" option

Recently I've given in to doing some cleanup with regards to my iPhoto library. Looking around on the forums some people gave some tips on how to go about this, some suggested apps for purchase and some free scripts people made themselves. For some reason one app I was using couldn't find all of the dupes and would only find some, and the script I found would get interrupted and stopped at a point basically saying that a certain file isn't where it's supposed to be, probably due to a few times that I just manually deleted the photo from it's location instead of deleting it in iPhoto and having iPhoto do its job. So it seems the iPhoto Library isn't updated, and isn't updating. Attempted to do the library rebuild as a possible solution and the first option in the screenshot isn't available when i hold command + option keys as instructed
instead, this is what i get
re: automatic backup, my external drive that I normally backup to is currently out of commission so that's not an option. Thanks.

The top screenshot is from iPhoto 11, the lower one is from iPhoto 09. That's why they are different.
Here's a thing: if this is the case
... due to a few times that I just manually deleted the photo from it's location instead of deleting it in iPhoto...
Your library is not fixable by iPhoto. You've corrupted it beyond repair.
Options now:
1. 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.
Depending on how much damage you've done this may or may not work. But it's free and worth a try.
2. Restore from a back up created before you damaged the Library. (BTW "my external drive that I normally backup to is currently out of commission" means "I don't have a back up", doesn't it?)
3. Create a new Library, recover your masters and start over from scratch.

Time Machine hangs at same point during a full system restore!

I recently had a complete crash on Mac Book Pro requiring reinstallation of Latest Leopard with Upgrade Disk. Tried to restore full system from time machine backup on time capsule, but the restore stops and does not proceed at around 37-39% complete. No error messages. On the phone with apple care, was told my back up was corrupt! Any ideas. I'm very disappointed right now, as my back ups were automatic via time machine schedule. Please help me get my system back!

Andre,
You could, by-pass the Full Restore process and do an Erase & Install and Migrate. Then no 'manual' restore will be necessary. Of course, if the installer is hanging as a certain point with a Full Restore then there is no guarantee that it won't during this process as well. But it's still worth a try.
Also, if you are dealing with many GBs of user data and multiple accounts, you could have it migrate all this over in stages using Migration Assistant, rather than in one big chunk.
*Erase, Install, & Migrate*
A final option, reserved for last resort, is to erase the hard disk, install a fresh copy of the Mac OS, and then use Migration Assistant during the installation to restore your user accounts. This is the Mac equivalent of ‘Slash and Burn’, and really should only be necessary if you require a completely fresh start.
Procedure:
Verify that your Mac has uninterrupted AC power.
For faster migration of user data, Time Capsule/AirDisk users should connect their Macs directly to their Airport device via ethernet.
Insert your original Mac OS 10.5 Leopard DVD and reboot while holding down the “C” key.
At the “Welcome” screen click “Continue”.
Click “Agree” to the user agreement.
Select you Macs internal hard disk and click “Options”.
Select “Erase and Install”.
Select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” for disk format. (Avoid selecting “Case-sensitive” unless you know what you are doing.)
Click “OK”.
Click “Continue”.
At “Install Summary” click “Customize” if you would like to eliminate certain Print Drivers, Fonts, or Language packages from being installed. Otherwise, click “Install”.
If you wish, you can click “Skip” when the DVD integrity check begins.
After the initial installation completes, your Mac will restart and you will see the video introduction.
At “Welcome” select your country and then preferred keyboard.
At “Do You Already Own a Mac?” you are asked “Would you like to transfer your information?”
+from another Mac+
+from another volume on this Mac+
+from a Time Machine backup+
+Do not transfer my information now+
Select “from a Time Machine backup” and click “Continue”.
At “Select a Backup Volume” choose your Time Machine backup disk and click “Continue”. (If you are attempting the migration wirelessly, then click “Join...” and select your network first.)
At “Transfer Your Information” check all the categories you wish to migrate over. If you wish your Mac to be in the same state as your last backup, then check everything. Give the installer time to calculate sizes.
Once that is complete, the “Transfer” button will become active and you can click it.
After the install, verify the registration information, click “Connect” and you are done.
After logging in, immediately go to System Preferences --> Time Machine, and turn “OFF” backups, even if a backup attempted has begun.
Next, Launch Disk Utility, select your Macs’ internal disk on the left, and click “Repair Disk Permissions”.
Interestingly, no Spotlight indexing appears necessary, so, once the permission repair is complete, turn Time Machine back “ON” in the Preferences. Time Machine should continue to backup to the same set of backups that it did prior to the restore. However, due to event logs being out of sync, the first backup will require a lengthy session of “Preparing...” as Time Machine performs a “deep traversal”. Allow this to proceed uninterrupted. Naturally, the first backup after a significant installation like this will be quite large so don’t be alarmed.
Let us know if this was helpful.
Cheers!

I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Mac

I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Machine, there are only about 5 backups recorded on the ext. hard drive. There were many more before. Any idea what happened and if I have to buy a new back up hard drive?

Hallo Kieth ,
I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
Thanks for your interest and advice.

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

HT204406 I download a song & then I try to drag it into a playlist & I get a warning "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, my iPod will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer.

I download a song & then I try to drag it into a playlist & I get a warning "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, my iPod will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer."

I'm sorry to see that no one has answered this. I'm hoping Apple with reply to my support request, as I'm having the same issue. I really don't want to continue with iCloud at this point.

My iPhone library says library rebuilding I cant fix this I am trying to recover my photos and video please help.

My grandfather recently passed away. I have photos of our last moments together and i went to upload them to computer and Iphone says library rebuilding. I cant see the photos on the harddrive or anything. I am really nervous I lost these i had a video and everything I am really lost for words.....if anyone can give me any help on how to fix this i read something saying get the Iphone browers but it wont install.

Image Capture will only import photos and videos from the camera roll, not from photo stream. In order to import them with Image Capture, you would first need to save the photo steam photos to his camera roll by opening his my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then import them with Image Capture. After doing so, delete them from his camera roll by opening his camera roll, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, then tap Delete.
If you did this carefully, he would never know. The risk is that you accidently left one or more photo stream photos in his camera roll and he noticed it.
Before doing this, check to see if the photo stream photos are already in his camera roll. The may be as all photo stream photos originate from the camera roll. Unless he subsequently deleted them, they would still be there and could be imported with Image Capture without needing to change anything on his phone.

Duplicate images = duplicate library from restore?

I'm very confused. Because of issues in A3, I restored back to A2 and rebuilt, actually restored a couple of times, etc, then REMOVED (I thought) all of my libraries from A3 access so that I could do a clean A3 install and upgrade. (My A2 library was temporarily in the TRASH, and my current A3 library was relocated to a desktop folder, as suggested on another troublshooting thread here).
So, I opened up A3 after this install, and there were all my photos again, and some doubled. Where would A3 have accessed my photos from if they were in the trash and another folder? I was expecting to direct A3 to the folder myself on this "clean install. So now, I'm thinking my huge library is doubled up in here somewhere, and how do I find duplicates from my restores and delete them?

Might be better to start with the clean and empty library you intended to begin with. If you want to recover your library rather than reconstruct one, do you have a good Aperture Vault or backup you trust to do the recovery?
Not sure where Aperture is finding eveything by what you describe, however you might quit Aperture and search for all your current locations of the Aperture Library and rename each one to be more descriptive (at least temporarily). For example, rename various files as appropriate to make each unique, such as *Aperture 2 Library OLD*, *Aperture 3 Library OLD*, etc.
Within Aperture 3, you can create a new *Aperture 3 Library* using the File -> Switch to Library command. That panel will display all the Aperture libraries you have, but you may want to create a new empty library and them Import as appropriate.
Post if I’m not clearly stating this...

IPhoto 9.2 Library Rebuild

I did the rebuild library option to try to stop the crashes and now none of the pictures show up except as gray squares. I have a backup copy but am afraid to open it. What should I do?

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. Use the options to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes to work.
