How do I get my iPhoto library back?

My iPhoto wouldn't open so I tried to rebuild my library and it would not download all the pictures and now I have none.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto tries to open? Any messages?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

  • I use my iPhoto library as my ScreenSaver while listening to music on Apple TV. It lost the ability today to set photos in Screen Saver mode. I can access Photo Stream, Gallery and Flickr. How do I get my IPhoto Library back?

    Help! My iPhoto library has disappeared from my screen saver list of choices. I have used it for 5 months.
    How do I get back?

    Are you still able to connect to your iTunes library under the computers feature. Have you checked your photo sharing options from the advanced menu in iTunes on your computer.

  • How can I get my iPhoto Library Back? The Library won't open, so I have no pictures.

    It wouldn't show my pictures when iPhoto was opened, so I shut it down and restarted it. Now it won't show any of my pictures and I moved them from my photo booth so I have none of them anymore. Please, how do I fix this!

    The best solution is to restore the library from a backup made just before this occurred. 
    Baring that 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.

    As stated above, How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?  I'm not a fan of Photos right now and haven't used iPhoto in years, so that wasn't a loss... I didn't realize when I gave Photo's access to my Aperture library, I was going to lose it...

    How do I get my Iphoto library from a ppc g5 to an intel imac mid 2011?

    I recommend tha tyou do not use migration assistant - it has a poor record of moving the iPhoto library successfully
    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

    Not true at all.
    You only buy the right to your own personal use.
    You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
    This is illegal.  There is no doubt about it

  • I have a new computer, downloaded itunes, how do I get my old library back?

    I have a new computer, downloaded itunes.  How do I get my old library back so I can sync w/ipod nano?

    Do you still have the old PC around? If so, you might be able to still copy the iTunes library from that PC over to the one.
    Or is the music still on your Nano?  If so, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your new PC and into iTunes.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Otherwise, you can redownload most iTunes purchases again at no cost using iCloud.  If the music and content was imported from outside of iTunes you'll need to either re-rip the tracks into iTunes or redownload them using whatever utility or store you originally purchased them from.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    i had to have my hard drive replaced. how do i get my itunes library back on my computer?

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.
    For more information, see:

    For content not purchased from the iTunes Store, as John said you'll need to restore from your backups or get the content from whatever place you got it originally.

  • I have authorized a new computer, and itunes is not registering recent purchases. How do I get my entire library back on this new computer without having to re-buy them all?

    I have just gotten a new computer which runs windows.
    I have authorized this computer with itunes...
    But the library and playlists I had on the first computer are not showing up on this one, and when I log into the itunes store, it is not showing any of my recent purchases (like one I bought as soon as last night.)
    How do I get these songs/playlists back, or do I have to actually re-buy all these songs?

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • Lost ITunes on my laptop how do I get my old library back?

    Hi
    My laptop hard drive recently died, so had to get a new one installed.
    I've downloaded and installed Itunes 10 however when trying to synch its giving me the message The ipod is synched with another i tunes libraty.  Do you want to erase this ipod and synch with this itunes library?
    I cant get my original library off of the old disk as its completely dead, so how do I get the tunes that are on my ipod to synch into the new itunes library as I've not got access to all the CD's now?
    Thanks
    Fiona

    The bad news is, since your old hard drive is dead, you cannot get your itunes library back using itunes. It just isn't designed to do it.
    The good news is, you can buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that can get stuff off your ipod, even things  you didn't get from the itunes store. These other programs can also get your playlists and CDs you ripped off the ipod.
    Here is an article that is a few years old, but it's a good place to start your research:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/P2/
    You can always get itunes purchases off your ipod using these directions:

    Going forward, consider backing up your hard drive. You probably lost a lot of other stuff besides just itunes!
