Each album now reads "0 photos." What happened and how do I restore each album with their respective photos???

The albums I created in iphoto are still there, but they are empty!

As I say: Simple solution is to restore from your back up.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

  • I purchase a whole TV series on my other iPod which got stole and now I cant re-download it on to my new one. why? i paid $20 for it and now im not happy. what happened and how can i get it back?

    any ideas will help

    If you bought the same series on DVD and it was stolen, would the store just give you another copy?
    It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    Did you fail to transfer to your computer and back up?

  • Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blur

    Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry.  what gives?  They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad??  Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that?  When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc. 

    Reboot.   Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

  • After connecting my iPhone to my Macbook Pro to download photos to my phone, my pages application is now gone from my computer. The icon is still in the dock. What happened and how do I get it back?

    After connecting my iphone to my Macbook Pro to download photos to my phone yesterday, my Pages application is gone from my computer. The icon is still in the dock. What happened and how do I get it back? Its not in my trash or anywhere else.

    The other 2 applications open like normal. All three give me info.
    Pages     ver.4.1          265.8MB
    Numbers ver. 2.1          89.5MB
    Keynote ver. 5.1.1        238.1MB
    They all list Apr 3 as the last time opened. That was when I upgraded to Mavericks. I certainly used pages and numbers since then as I have alot of my work files on this computer?
    Just very odd. I did find my original iWorks disc from when I bought the computer. I'm assuming i can reinstall it. Will try that. Thank you for all your help. Would still like to know what did happen?

  • Lately when I sync certain albums to my iPhone, the tracks are duplicated one behind the other so that I have to listen to each song twice. Why does this happen and how can it be fixed?

    Lately when I sync certain albums to my iPhone, the tracks are duplicated one behind the other so that I have to listen to each song twice. Why does this happen and how can it be fixed?

    Very strange behavior.  Don't entirely give up on the "Manually Added Items" category ... I have seen things magically appear there even after I've checked and seen nothing there.  I think things got real quirky when Apple released iCloud ... I don't remember extra copies of purchases lingering on my iPhone once transferred to my library before that.  Sure, if I bought an album directly to my iPhone it would stay on there even after I sync to my library, but if I deleted the album from the iPhone it stayed deleted.  Now it seems that there are some phantom copies that come and go with no explanation.

    If you're re-downloading an album to iTunes and your iPhone, that may perpetuate the problem.  What happens if you completely delete every copy of the album, then just download to your iTunes library and then sync the album to your iPhone from your library?  That should put only one copy on your iPhone.
    A few other things to try:
    1- Completely sign out of your Apple account on your iPhone, then re-sync to iTunes, then sign into your account on your iPhone again.  Maybe throw in a Reset or at least a power OFF/ON somewhere in the middle.
    2- Go to Settings/ General/ Usage, then select Music and when you see All Music, swipe your finger across it and tap the Delete button.  Before doing anything else, Reset your iPhone.  This does not actually delete your music, but seems to clear up some cobwebs left behind (people use this technique to reduce "Other" that swells up over time).

  • I just updated my iTunes and now ALL of my music is gone what happened and how do I fix it ASAP?

    Litterly 15 Mins ago all of my music was present. I - in fact - just finished using it to play a song. Then I got a window that popped up saying that my iTunes is in need of an update. So I update it then it said it was all up to snuff...
    So I go back into my iTunes to continue using it
    but now It's ALL GONE!!!!
    what happened and how to I fix it ASAP???
    ---because this is like 80g's of music man, I spent Months - MONTHS ripping all my cd's and formating EVERYTHING NICELY into iTunes just to have the work poof disapear?
    come on!

    But I do back up everything, as much as I am able...
    However, it seems to me I've got to shift everything back into iTunes - Again.
    if this is the norm, I would like to see - for others because now I know! - a little warning
    "Hi, We're iTunes, and you need an update. So please update, just let it be known however, then when you do - we'll delete your catalog and any playlists. Thanks for using iTunes"
    something like that, because now I've gotta re-load everything back... bolics I say bolics.

    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.

  • IPhoto "Unexpectedly Quit". When I went back in, about the past month's worth of uploaded photos was missing. What happened, and how can I retrieve them?

    IPhoto was open, but "unexpectedly quit".  When I opened it again a couple days later, my most recent photo uploads (for the past month or so) were missing, with dated Events folders saying "no photos". This had happened another time about a year ago? What happened, and how do I retrieve my photos?  I hadn't backed them up, but do they automatically do so on iCloud?

    Assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

    Aren't they in your iTunes library?  If so, sync them back to your phone.  If not, redownload them (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
