How do I restore iPhoto 11 on my MacBook Pro?

When I try to open my iPhoto library, it searches for files, but doesn't find any, when I know this morning that they were there.  I noticed that my screensaver pics were not coming up, and realized something wasn't right with iPhoto.  It's possible I deleted something that makes iPhoto work, then emptied the trash.  What can I do to restore?

Without knowing you may have deleted the only advice can be to restore from your back up.

    How do I restore apps on my MacBook Pro? Such as iphoto. I'm running on OSX 10.6.8

    iPhoto is part of the iLife apps that came bundled with your computer when it was new. You will find the installer on the two software discs that came with your computer when it was new.

  • How do I move iPhoto videos from macbook pro to macbook Air?

    I have my main iphoto library on the pro but want to move things to the Air.  I have been doing this through having both machines on the wireless network, sharing between them and then copying the pictures across.  For some reason this won't allow me to move the videos (taken on iphone or digital camera) across.  Any ideas on how I can easily get them across?

    There is no way to share video. You'll need to export them from one Library and then import them to the other.

  • How do I uninstall iPhoto from my MacBook Pro? It won't let me shut down my computer cause it keeps telling me to wait for my images to import, but there isn't anything importing...?

    I can't shut my computer down side my iPhoto app is telling me that it's importing pictures, but not is happening & I wanted to uninstall iPhoto to see if that would work. Please some one help me! This is annoying.

    The "Importing" message can be cause by a corruption of your iPhoto library - then uninstalling will not help. Try this:
    Force Quit iPhoto:
    From the -menu in the upper left corner of the screen:   > Force quit ⌥⌘⎋
    Then select iPhoto from the panel.
    Then fix your iPhoto library and remove the "Importing" folder from the library  -
    see this post by LarryHN how to do it:

  • I downloaded the new iphoto to my macbook pro. Now when I open it, there is a message telling me that "your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup." What do I do I had 16,000 pictures.....PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Try download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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. 

  • I Have iPhoto on my macbook pro under a different account, how can I create/install my own iPhoto?

    I Have iPhoto on my macbook pro under a different account, how can I create/install my own iPhoto?

    The iPhoto application should be installed in the "Applications" folder and thus available for all users on your MacBook Pro.
    When you launch iPhoto from a different account hold down the ⌥-key, to be prompted where you want to create a new iPhoto library for that account. By default an iPhoto Library would be created in the "Pictures" folder of that user account.

  • HT4623 How do I upload my photos on my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro

    How do I upload my photos I took on my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro 2012. I operate OS X 10.8.3 and have iOS6.1.3 installed on my iPhone.

    Hi J-L Bos,
    You hook your phone up to your Mac. This should cause iPhoto to automatically open and to scan your phone's photos. If it finds photos that have not been imported yet, it should ask you if you want to import them. Once the import is complete, iPhoto will ask you if you want to delete the photos you just imported from your phone.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • How do I move folders and albums in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro to my ipad?

    How do I move folders and albums in iPhoto on my MacBook Pro to a new iPad Air?

    To sync photos, connect your iPad to your Mac and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo albums/folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page.
    You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • How can I restore iPhoto titles and captions to iPhoto JPEGs sent to, and opened in, Aperture 3?

    How can I restore iPhoto titles and captions to iPhoto JPEGs sent to, and opened in, Aperture 3?

    Thank you very much, Kirby.  Your suggestion was exactly what I needed.  It proved to be a big help even to my One-to-One Aperture trainer at the Naperville IL Apple store.  My slideshow text, caption, and music attributes also were carried over intact to the new Aperture 3 environment.  - A.Z.

  • How do I move my event photos to iPhoto onto new Macbook pro

    I have my old iPhoto event photos on my iPhone 4 and I want to move them onto iPhoto on my Macbook Pro, which has OS X Mountain Lion.  When I plug in my phone, it prompts saying that I will lose my photos on my phone.  How do I move my old event photos I got from my old iPhoto to my new iPhoto? I also don't have my old computer where my photos came from.

    I just got my mac pro yesterday.
    Apple provides a number of very helpful tutorials - in the right hand column of this page - http://www.apple.com/startpage/
    I'm not sure how to move my photo booth pictures to my pictures folder and iphoto..?
    By default your Photo booth pictures are in the photo booth folder in the the pictures folder - if you move them from there then Photo Booth will not see them
    When I move them I want to organize them how I usually did on windows. Very neat & organized.
    That is fine - but if you want to view them in Photo Booth you need to leave them where it knows about them. And once you import them into iPhoto you must leave the copies (done by default and strongly recommended - especially for new users) inside the iPhoto library alone - you must never make any changes of any sort to the contents of the iPhoto library
    I'm freaking out because I tried dragging them...I don't really know what I did but there's doubles of all of them in my All Documents folder and only one in my pictures folder.
    I don't know what you did either - dragging files to a new location on the same volume moves the file - dragging it to a different volume copies the file
    I don't like not being able to put the things where I want them to go easily!
    You can - but you do need to learn how to use any new system or new software - and you have both a new system and new software - you need to learn it
    The answer to your subject is to open the photo booth folder and drag the photos to iPhoto - it will import them into iPhoto and take care of them there - after importing you can do what you want with the photos outside of iPhoto

  • I can not see photos neither events preview on Iphoto ! How can i fixe that ? (Machine : MacBook Pro)

    i can not see photos neither events preview on Iphoto ! How can i fixe that ? (Machine : MacBook Pro)

    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. .

  • How do I upgrade iphoto on older macbook?

    How do I upgrade iphoto on older macbook?

    Purchase the Snow Leopard disk from Apple here: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). Then update to 10.6.8 with this updater: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    With 10.6.8 you can run iPhoto 9.2.3 which is available via the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party vendor like Amazon.com  or eBay.com.  You'll need to run the 9.1, 9.2 and  then the 9.2.3 updaters which can be found here: Apple - Support - Downloads
