Error message repairing library database keeps appearing in iPhoto in iMac

Why does the error message "repairing library database" keeps appearing?

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. .

  • What does it mean in IPhoto repairing library database?

    I opened iPhoto and it gave me an error regarding my library database.  What does this mean?  It is now "repairing library database".  What is this doing?

    iPhoto is essentially a database index that keeps track of the photos in its library. When something goes wrong with that database index, it can be rebuild to fix errors.
    You can read more about this in this article  iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library

  • HT4623 Unable to update applications installed.Error message "unable to connet iTunes" appears after installation icon hanging

    Since last two weeks I am unable to update my applications installed in iPad with iOS 6. Also no new app is getting installed. Installation icon appears but after some time error message "unable to connect iTunes " appears.Can some one guide me to solve this problem please?

    I've had similar problems. Whenever I try and update apps on the iPhone, the app would apparently download ok, but then not install. This didn't happen with new apps - only ones I was updating.
    I got around the issue by downloading the update in iTunes on my Mac, then deleting the app from the phone, then syncing. The problem with this method is that certain apps had saved settings which are lost when following this method.
    However... I seem to have fixed the issue after 2 months of trying.
    I followed the advice of this page:
    http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/09/10/itunes-8-workaround-for-5002-unknown-error -when-trying-to-update-apps/
    Then I repaired disk permissions and finally I completely erased and restored my iPhone BEFORE I synced it after the moving of the Mobile Applications folder.
    It's all working perfectly now and made my life much easier (especially with Aurora Feint updates), so I hope that this method works for some others.
    Good luck.

  • Error message -48 - library can't be saved

    Hi,
    I keep getting an error message "-48 - library can't be saved" when I open up itunes - anyone have any tips? any thoughts v v gratefully received!
    thanks

    I'm having this same problem. In my case the library file is on my main internal hard drive, but is partitioned to the e: logical drive. Permission should not be a problem.

  • Aperture wont open and says "repairing library database" even when 100% complete it still wont open

    my aperture won't open and says "repairing library database"  even when it gets up to 100% complete it just suts there frozen and won't open to the aperture screen

    How many Images?  How much storage space does the Library occupy?  Do you have plenty of free space on your system drive?
    Ignore the progress bar — it's often stuck, and therefore unreliable.
    Ignore Activity Monitor reporting Aperture "Not Responding".  This is, imho, a bug Apple should have squashed years ago.
    Repairing (or doing any operations an entire Library) a large Library can take hours or days.  You did not report what you did to get past 79% — I'm going to guess you Force-quit Aperture.  Force-quitting any database is always a bad idea and should only be done as a last resort.  Each time you force quit, you are likely adding to your problem.
    Restart the rebuild, and let it run, unmolested, for at least 40 hours.  IME, at some point the progress bar with jump to 99%, then 100%, and then stay there for perhaps a few more hours, and then it finishes.
    I have _never_ had a repair or a rebuild (I have not had to do many rebuilds) _not_ finish.  One took about 82 hours, but it finished.
    If your Library is small — say, fewer than 100,000 Images _and_ smaller than 100 GB — and you're seeing these very long rebuild times, you likely have an actual problem — but the only way I know to find out is to let the rebuild continue.  (I don't store any but small video in Aperture, and very few of them, so my numbers may not correspond to Libraries that store videos.)
    Did you notice any other problems before Aperture itself recommended rebuilding?
    In short: let it run unmolested.

    KritiHi. I am no expert, but it sounds like a problem with the privileges the user
    has... The best thing is to step back to a simpler environment. Can you try
    connecting to DB2 with a simple program like utils.dbping? Please look at our
    driver docs for the DB2 driver, because there are several variations in connect
    properties depending on the type of DB2 you are connecting to...

    Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

    How are you launching iPhoto? From your Dock? The Dock icon may still be linked to an older iPhoto version. Just to be sure, you are opening really iPhoto 9.6, launch iPhoto by double-clicking the iPhoto icon in your applications folder. Your crash log  with the the "Library not found" error message should show the version number of iPhoto. Which version is it showing?

  • Persistent Layer Error Message: ORA-01729 database link name expected

    Hi,
    I've done a series of loads from DB2 into Oracle, initially importing the database objects from DB2 and Oracle, then creating the mappings, deploying and executing. It all worked and I had no problems. For some reason now whenever I tried to import a new Database Object (table) from the DB2 I enter the password, test it and it successfully connects but then I get the error message on a popup box:
    SQL Exception
    Persistent Layer Error: SQL Exception
    Class Name: CacheMediator
    Method Name: getSQLResult
    Persistent Layer Error Message: ORA-01729 database link name expected
    If I create a new location for the same database it works and I can import new objects. The only difference I can think from the initial imports is that I’ve moved the repository from one server to another. Might be the case where some information got corrupted in the metadata.
    Has anyone seen this kind of problem before? Can you please help me out with this issue?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Leo

    The following line tells me that this is not a template file, but a document created from a template called index.dwt
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/index.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    This means that you saved a child document as a template file at some stage.
    If you go to Modify->Templates->Detach from Template, you can remove the template structure from your document. All you then need to do is to re-save the document as a template.

  • When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
