How can I get iPhoto to run after power outage?

iPhoto will launch but does not show anything and I have to force quit.  I have read info online regarding same, but I'm hesitant to try some suggestions because I have no back up. 
Also... cannot find com.apple.iphoto.iphoto.plist on my computer if that's useful.
Please help!

Here's the same thing that Larry suggested but stated a little differently (I hope):  make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Double click on  iPhoto in the dock with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
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.
Hope you can follow that.

  • OSX 10.4.11 doesn't recognize APC Back-UPS BE550G, no UPS tab appears in Energy Saver panel, how can I get safe shut down at power outage?

    Can't figure out how to solve this puzzle: the battery backup [APC Back-UPS BE550G] doesn't show up in the Energy Saver pane in a UPS tab nor beside the clock and Spotlight; will the (1 min. then shutdown) settings of the Saver be supported by the APC battery if there is a power outage or significant surge?
    This new back-ups came in a box stating compatibility with OS 10.3.9 – 10.4.9. Am I out of luck with 10.4.11? Isn't the OS itself able to set prefs for an UPS?
    Please help if you can. Thanks.

    did you install software and if so, where did you get it? I am running 10.7.4 and when the unit is plugged in via the ethernet usb cable, I can see ups in the control panel, but have no other control. I am media managing a television shoot and we need to set up our workstations pronto.

  • How can i get iphoto 9?

    I am running OSX 10.5.8 and I have iphoto 7.1.5  I just spent many hours creating a calendar.  When I went to purchase it, I got an error message stating that apple doesn't support calendar purchases in iphoto 7 any longer, and I need to upgrade to iphoto 9 at the mac app store.  Since I am not running mavericks or yosemite I don't have the mac app store, so how can I get iphoto 9, and will it even work with 10.5.8?

  • How can i get iphoto on my IPAD if i already have it on my macbook pro

    how can i get iphoto on my IPAD if i already have it on my macbook pro?

    See this page, if your iPad qualifies for a free download: Free Apple apps for iOS 7 compatible devices
    iPhoto on the iPad and iPhoto on the Mac are completely different programs. The Mac version cannot run on the iPad, because the operating systems and the processors are different. Don't expect, that iPhoto on the iPad will be able to do the same things as your iPhoto for Mac, pr that you can keep the two iPhoto libraries in sync.  
    Se this help page for a description, what iPhoto on the iPad can do: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/

  • How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

    How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

    You will have to restore the device from a backup on icloud.  (this assumes you have backups turned on in settings>icloud)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    I don't know if this is a similar problem but I wrote 2 notes yesterday on my iphone. I opened my mail to print them and they appeared as notes but wouldn't load. Then I looked at them on my iphone and I could see the notes but they quickly updated to blank with a time of the last edit the same time I tried opening them on my computer.
    Yesterday I updated to 4.3.4  I don't know if somehow that affected them. Are they stored somewhere else. Can I get them back?

    How can I get my texts back after an IOS update?

    Hi Clembo60,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your text messages are missing after an update on your iPhone. If you have a backup of your device on either iTunes or iCloud, you can restore from that backup and bring your information back. Please review the attached article, which covers how to back up and restore from backups, for more information.

  • How can I get iPhoto on my Mac to recognize my new iPhone 6?  (iTunes does recognize it!)

    I got one of the new iPhone 6s (the smaller version) and it's been working great.  I was able to restore an old backup from my 4S and transferred everything over.  iTunes recognizes the new phone and I've had no problems bringing files within apps on the phone to the computer like before.  HOWEVER, iPhoto doesn't even recognize the phone so I can't import new photos off the phone.  How can I get iPhoto to recognize it?  I tried searching for the phone as a drive via iPhoto and that didn't work either.

    So says my computer.  Honestly, I'm not tech-wavy in the least so I just take its word for things.

    There is no other way to bypass the combintation lock other than to connect the nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings, erasing all content and settings from the iPod.

    Do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync them back to your phone? If you haven't then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload

  • Photos *****. How can I get iPhoto back

    Photos lacks many of the features of iPhoto that I used all the time. How can I get it back?

    It didn't go away.  Look in your Applications folder.
    If you didn't update it to the Yosemite version, see this tip: Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS X 10.10.3
