Help! I just updated to iLife and updated my photo library.

Now all my thumbnails are of the very first photo I took, i.e. I have ~3,000 thumbnails of my dh, and it isn't even a good photo!
Thanks!
  Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

What version did you update from and to?
Did you ever use the finder to poke around in the iPhoto Library folder?
Does this help?

  • I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
    Is this iPhoto on your Mac?  Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11?  If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - 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.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
    Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

  • Help. Just got the latest and greatest ipod touch.  When trying to setup icloud, my email address is verified but when I touch settings, icloud, account tries unsuccessfully to verify account.

    Help. Just got the latest and greatest ipod touch.  When trying to setup icloud, my email address is verified but when I touch settings, icloud, account tries unsuccessfully to verify account.

    Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
    When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
    How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
    Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.

  • Help, I just subscribe Adobe CC and I still can't use Adobe Muse.

    Help, I just subscribe Adobe CC and I still can't use Adobe Muse. It still said my trial has expired. and ask me to put the serialnummer. What should I do ?

    Hello,
    As confirmed by you Muse is asking for serial number on launch. Most of the time this happens because of Hosts file on the machine.
    Please go ahead and rename the hosts file on your machine and you should be all set. here are the steps for both MAC and Windows.
    Windows:
    1. Go to following location.  C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
    2. Rename the file "Hosts" to "hostsold"
    3 Relaunch Muse and sign in with your Adobe ID, you should be all set.
    MAC:
    1.  Go to Finder > Go > Go to Folder
    2. Type /etc and hit Return
    3. Rename the file "Hosts" to "hostsold"
    4. Relaunch Muse and sign in with your Adobe ID, you should be all set.
    Regards

  • Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

    Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • HT4914 If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library?

    If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library? I have over 100 playlists and even more music not in playlists and I don't want to download all of it to my phone.
    Thanks

    First read this: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup
    So, before you sell your Mac make sure all your personal data is backed up to an external HDD then put that HDD in a safe place. When you return you will be able to use it to restore your data to the new Mac.
    Before you sell your computer you must restore the original version OS X that was installed on it when you bought it. See this Apple KB article for how to prepare your Mac for sale: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5189.

  • Help, I just updated to iOS 8 and all my pages documents have disappeared! This is a disaster ! Can I get them from the cloud? If so how and can I do it without a PC or laptop?

    I Have just updated to iOS 8 and have lost all my Pages docs this is a huge disaster. Is there any way to get them back ? I hope that they are in the cloud but I have never used it to get anything back before. Can any one help. Is it possible to do this without a PC or laptop?

    You really need to try this on a computer, not on the iPad.
    Seeing how what is in the cloud is also on the iPad, if the content is not on the iPad, there is a good chance that the content is lost. But you can try logging into www.icloud.com in a web browser on a computer and log into your account and see if you can get into the Pages app. You may have to sign up for iCloud drive if you didn't do so already. Make SURE you that you read the blurb that will pop up in that window in iCloud for more information.

  • HT201365 I need help.  Just updated to ISO7.  Made the password and immediately forgot it.  I know my apple ID#.

    I just updated to ISO7.  It asked for me to make a password which I could have and should have disregarded because I forgot it immediately and now my phone is disabled.  Please help.

    You will have to restore the phone on the computer you last synced with, which will remove the passcode. If that is not possible you will have to erase the phone using Find my iPhone at icloud.com.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite I had to upgrade iPhoto and now it says I need to update my photo library or it will be lost...HELP

    After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade iPhoto.  Now when I try to open iPhoto I get the following message:
    The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version 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 .
    Question is...how do i upgrade the photo library?

    You can't back up an open iPhoto...
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Help, I just got OS 6 and I want OS 5 back.

    Hey
    I just got OS 6 and i dislike it, I am much more comfortable with OS 5, so I would like to downgrade back to it. Is this possible? I  really want my OS 5 back, so please help, thanks.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    An old saying...
    The best device for anyone is the one they become the most used to
    I might venture to guess that if you give yourself time, you might grow to like it.
    But, if you insist...from a PC, you can install any OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • After erase and install my photo library won't load - please, please help

    I hope you can help. I backed up my mac then installed snow leopard - I had many issues with this and decided to erase and install normal leopard. I copied the iphoto library from my ext. HD to my pictures folder and thought once I opened iphoto that they would load but they haven't. I looked in my pictures folder and there were two iphoto libraries: the one I just copied and another much smaller one with (original) by the side of it. I did the whole hold down 'apple + control' on starting iphoto and 17 photos imported, I presumed these came from the (original) library and so I moved that library out of the pictures folder. I started iphoto again holding 'apple + control) and again the same 17 photos. I know my photos are here somewhere and they are so precious to me. I would so grateful if someone could help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    To choose a Library is simply hold the +option (or alt)+ key on launch.
    Regards

  • I just downloaded OSX Mavericks and all my photos have disappeared; it's telling me that iPhoto is no longer supported on my Mac. How do I get all my photos back?

    I just downloaded OSX Mavericks and it tells me iPhoto is not supported. I have lost access to all my photographs. Can anyone tell me how to recover them?
    Thanks!

    Here's the current version of iPhoto.  Try installing that, and see if things work better.

  • Please Help! - Revel reset my account and deleted my photos.

    Revel told me I needed to re-sign in for security purposes. It also told me to re-click the link in the email I received when I started Revel a couple months ago. I did both. Revel then reset my account and deleted my photos. My libraries are empty. How can I get back to where I was last week? thanks!

    You uploaded files directly to Revel from your computer, right? (not to Elements organizer?)  Were you logged in on one account and then when logged in again, did you use another adobeid (email)?
    Do you have more than one email that I can check?  Revel does not delete your photos unless you specifically ask to delete them. My best guess is that somehow you were logged in on one account (email) and then when you logged in that you ended up in a different account. I'm happy to check any accounts for you.

  • How can I delete or transfer some (not all) Albums, Music and pics in "Photo Library" NOT purchased in iStore from my iPhone to a computer, when the original computer that did the original iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?

    The iPhone iOS 4 User Guide sees to indicate that the SYNCH function is all one way from computer to iPhone, unless it is for purchased items in iStore on the iPhone.
    1. How can I delete some (not all) Albums and Music from my iPhone when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
    2. How can I transfer Albums and Music (not purchased from iStore on iPhone) from my iPhone to the new computer?
    3. How can I delete some (not all) pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library"  when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
    4. How can I transfer pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library" to the new computer?

    Hi wjosten,
    thanks for the "TouchCopy" software link. I have downloaded a demo copy and it will resolve my transfer of music from iPhone to the new computer. I can then delete any unwanted music on the new computer, then re-synch the updated music to iPhone.
    I am not sure about the photos.   On my iPhone, there are two photo "albums" - one called "camera roll" and the other called "photo library."  TouchCopy finds the pictures in the "camera roll" DCIM folder, and I can copy them to the new computer etc. 
    However, TouchCopy does not seem to find the "Photo Library" folder.  Any clues?
