Have I lost my iPhoto Libarary following a restore?
I recently had to restore my iPhoto library from Carbonite. I can summon it up when I open iPhoto, but the iPhoto icon is greyed out when I open the Pictures file in User and I can't access the pictures as a screen saver. Can anyone help?
What do you see when you launch iPhoto? Your Photos? Can you edit them or see them full size?
Regards
TD

HI,
Try repairing disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Hi, my 2 kids who have an account each on my iMac have simultaneously lost their iPhoto apps and libraries. Can't find it anywhere. My iPhoto and library still remains. Any suggestions?
Are you sure that's what happened?
Typically, there is one iphoto on your computer and each account uses that, so there's no iPhoto for each account. So if you have they should too. Where is it missing from?
The disappearing libraries: did they rename their accounts by any chance?

I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5. I copied photos from recent - last import into albums. I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library. Have I lost them all?
OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:
I find a photo in the Library that I will delete from an album:
I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:
Gone from the Album:
Gone from the Library:
In the Trash:
Whaddup with that?

I have multiple libraries in iPhoto. When I follow the instructions: User/Pictures/iPhoto library/Show package contents/Master /Duplicate I have no problem importing these image. When I choose the file titled...Pictures/iPhoto Galapagos I am unable to show package contents/Master and duplicate the images in this file. What am I doing wrong?

I have done a photobook in iphoto and have had them produced and sent out to me.
I have accidentally lost the "book" in iPhoto so can't reorder more via the usual way.
Does anyone know if the Photo company producing the books keep them on file, that way allowing you to buy more copies without actually resending
in the book and photos.
I usually use MyPublisher and they actually have your book on file and then you can just print them as you wish.
ThanksHave just found the book and files on the external hard drive.
All good.

- Try on another computer
- Try another cable
- Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I tried to open my iphoto last night on my iMAC and it somehow updated on it's own and now has a message saying "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." I only have the option to quit or upgrade. What does this mean? Have i lost my pictures? i don't properly have my back up hard drive set up so all my pictures aren't backed up.
"The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete."
After your iPhoto application got updated to a new version, iPhoto will convert the iPhoto library to a new format, that is used by the new version. The warning tells you, that after this upgrade older iPhoto versions will no longer be able to read the iPhoto library. If you have a second Mac with older software that might be important. Make a backup to be on the safe side and let iPhoto upgrade the library. -
I have a Powerbook G4, from a friend but he has lost the disc,s in a house move, I have all Apps except Iphoto, and cannot transfer my photo's, what can I do. Running 10.5.8 Prachal
By all means get iLife but just for the record you don't HAVE to use Apple's photo application;
there are many more around, quite a lot of them free.
This http://download.cnet.com/mac/digital-photo-software/?tag=rb_content;main
is a good site to look through for candidates - some will be free some shareware and some paid for.
Alternatively Kodak provides free photo software - navigate through this site to what's right for you:

I think its probably this one:

Hi when I open iPhoto it's says "What photo library do you want to use" Have I lost all my photos? I don't know what to do here can anyone help please?
Is there an item named "iPhoto Library.photo library" or similar in your "Pictures" folder, showing with an icon like a fan of pictures?
Or did you store your iPhoto Library in a different folder, perhaps on an external drive?
if you cannot find your iPhoto Library search for it with Find Any File, as described by Old Toad in this post:
Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?

Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?in response to onpurpose
Download and use Find Any File to search for a file named "iPhoto6.Library". It's a file unique to all iPhoto libraries.
FAF an search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, packages and system files. If there's another iPhoto library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

I seem to have lost my iPhoto App? How can I reload?
I have lost my iPhoto app. How can I reload it?
If I use my app disk that came with the computer... will I lose any data in the process?The app and the library are two separate entities. What version of iPhoto were you running? Do you have Time Machine? If so just go back in time in the Applications folder and restore the iPhoto application from the last backup that included it.
If your Mac Pro came with Snow Leopard or earlier pre installed then use the disks that came with the Mac to do a custom install of iPhoto. Then update iPhoto to the version you were using.
If Lion came preinstalled on your Mac go to the App Store, log ing with the Apple ID that was used to purchase your Mac Pro, go to purchases and download iPhoto.

I am on Windows 7. Yesterday I ran an iTunes update and today I receive this message when I try to launch iTunes: This copy of iTunes is corrupted and not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. I am woried that I have already lost my music and don't want to re-install.
I found this on another discussion board and it really helped, I didn't have to uninstall anything and didn't lose any music
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
