How to organize recovered iphoto jpegs?

I recently recovered several thousand "lost" pix via File Salvage. However, all my albums, etc. are gone. Heard there was software that can help. Can anyone out there help?
Thanks
Carl

Nope - the only way to protect your data (including albums, projects, folders, etc) is a good backup - without one you are guarenteed to lose data sooner or later)
You have to create a new iPhoto library and import and reorgnize the photos

How i can recover iPhoto app i have deleted by mistake. i have got OS X "10.9.4" version.

How i can recover iPhoto app i have deleted by mistake. i have got OS X "10.9.4" version.

First look, if it is still in your Trash. If yes, use "Put Back".
To download it from the App Store, launch the App Store and sign into the App Store (in the "Store" menu) with the AppleID you used when you set up your Mac and accepted iPhoto to your AppleID or when you purchased it. Then open the "Purchases" tab of the App Store window and download iPhoto again. You should see an "Install" button to the right of "IPhoto", if you already owned the current version of iPhoto. If your version was an earlier version and not bought from the AppStore, use the installer media you originally used to install iPhoto.

How to organize in iPhoto 6???

I need help organizing my pictures in iPhoto 6... When I need to send a picture or just browse in my directory of pictures I have to take a guess in which folder the picture i'm looking for is in. For example I have a "Modified" and "Originals" folder, then I have to open another folder for the year like "2005" or "2006" and after that there is the major problem : I have folder names like "Roll 1", "Roll 16", "Roll 32".... it takes too long to find a picture..
Can somebody tell me tips and tricks on how to organize my pics so that I can find them easily while browsing my pictures folder???
Thanks,
cotjoey

Hi cotjoey,
First, you can always select the photo/photos within iPhoto and File>export them to the desktop, where you can then navigate to the desktop or folder on the desktop to upload or send the photos.
Second, you can do some renaming of rolls within iPhoto.
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.

How do i recover iphoto if it was deleted on leopard

when i got my macbook from my girlfriend, she deleted her photos after transfering them to an external HD. after that was done and the computer was restored to factory, iphoto would say "iphoto could not be opened because the file was damaged or incomplete" i upgraded to snow leopard thinking i would at least get the newer one upon install but its still damaged. how do i recover? or when i upgrade to lion will that fix it?

If you just deleted it from the catalog, it's still on your hard drive, unless you also turned on the "Also delete from hard drive" checkbox, so all you need to do is find it and import it again.

How I do recover iPhoto Library from an external drive?

I stored user files on my Mac Mini on an external harddrive. The Mac Mini is now not functioning so I am trying to recover files from the external harddrive. Specifically I'm trying to recover pictures from iPhoto.
I can plug the external drive into another Mac and see its contents in Finder. I can see the "iPhoto Library" on this disk. It shows up in the Finder as a single 41 GB file instead of a file system. I want to be able to extract the photos from this library and back them up online.
I tried running Import from iPhoto on my functioning machine, but iPhoto won't let me click on the "iPhoto Library" file. I don't know if I need to reset my iPhoto library location, or if this is a application version issue. (I'm running iPhoto 6.0.6 on the working machine, but the library I'm trying to get into was created by a later version, I think from iLife '09.)
How do I read the photos in this iPhoto Library?
Thanks.

If you want to preserve that Library you'll need to upgrade from iPhoto 6 to iPhoto 09 on this other machine. The v6 version cannot read the 09 library.
Doing anything else will destroy the library - you'll lose Albums, Slideshows, keywords, Faces, Places, books, calendars etc etc erc and basically have to start over from scratch.
How to do it? Go to the external diks and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Your Photos are in the Originals Folder.
The Edited versions are in the Modified Folders.
If you import both you'll have duplicates.

How to organize the iPhoto when it gets too big?

Hi, I have iPhoto library about 300GB which consumes most of my iMac space.
Would you please suggest the best way to organize the library?
I have been thinking to put the library on external device but worried about slow speed when iPhoto is opened.
I have been thinking to split the library but cannot open the libraries at the same time...
Any suggestions?
My iMac is 24inch early 2009, ML 10.8.1., 2.66 GHz, 4GB memory, 650GB HDD
Thanks.

Well that depends on you
first off you do not mention a backup system - that would be your first priority if you do not have one - without a good gackup you will lose all of you photos (and other file) sooner or later
My suggestion is to get a bigger hard drive
less good is to run iPhoto on an EHD with a fast connection (thunderbolt - firewire - USB2 or 3)
Splitting the library has many disadvantages - you can put the entire library on an EHD and have a second smaller library of current or more interesting photos on the main drive and use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to move new photos to the full library on the EHD so it stays current
You also can just delete poor and lower quality photos (with that many you must have some - I do ) - it is pretty fast to rate photos 1 to 5 stars and then delete the 1 star photos

How can I recover iPhotos from my hard drive?

I screwed up my MacBook Pro by adding a exFAT partition while operating in BOOTCAMP. Now I cannot start my machine. I can probably pull my hard drive and enter it as the OS Yosemite was probably not affacted. Is there a way to retrieve all my photos so when I reinstall everything I will be able to put them back on iPhoto?

If you’re able to access the drive, open your home folder on it, then Pictures, and copy the iPhoto library to another volume formatted as Mac OS Extended.

How do I recover iPhoto pictures?

Hello there,
I had to reset the software on my computer and by doing so, everything got deleted off my computer so I have none of my pictures that were on iPhoto. Is there a way to get those pictures back after re-downloading the app?
Please help me!

Two totally different things - there is an iPhoto application in your applications folder and an (or possibly several) iPhoto library by default in your pictures folder which is where your photos are - now that you have reinstalled the iPhoto application you need to restore the iPhoto library form the backup you made prior to erasing yoru hard drive

How do I organize my iphoto library on my iphone? My iphoto library is 60gb of photos and 80gb of video.

I purchased the 128gb iphone 6+ specifically for the reason of having my entire library of family photos and videos on my iPhone. Given that combined, my iphoto videos and photos equal over 140gb, I will not be able to fit them all on my new iPhone. I would like to have all of my photos on my iphone, which current works. But how can I organize my iphoto videos on my iphone?
I have taken the time to organize my entire iphoto library by putting all of the content into events. In the iTunes tab "Photos", I select to sync all photos and events from iPhoto but I leave "Include videos" unchecked. If I check "Include videos", then I won't have enough room on my iPhone for the 140gb of iPhoto content. I created an event in iPhoto call, "Choosen video" to grab only those videos that I want.
If I choose in the iTunes tab "Photos" and select the option sync photos from "Select albums, event, and faces...", I will still want to include all of my events for all of the photos of my family and also select the event "Choosen video" that I created. But that "Choosen video" event will not have any content because I did not choose the "Include video" option in the Itunes "Photo" tab. It seems that Videos are either all or nothing.
Is there a way that I can have all of my photos in events syncd to my iPhone yet only sync certain videos so that I do not run out of room on my iPhone?

You could import selected videos to iTunes, and then sync the videos from the iTunes library.
Or move the videos, that you do not want to sync to your iPhone, to a different iPhoto Library.

How do I transfer photos in organizer to iPhoto?

I am going to be switching from windows to Mac. I currently use Photoshop Elements 9.0 and I have approximately 9000 photos in Organizer. I would like to continue to use Elements as my photo editing program and iPhoto to catalog my pictures. Is there a way to transfer ohotos from Organizer to iPhoto, keeping the tags I used to catalog my pictures in organizer?

I couldn't see how to export from the organiser?
I don't use the app but I'd ask on the support of whoever does.
The process of exporting from any app makes a new file. You would then import that file to iPhoto. Then trash both the ones in organiser and the exported copy.
As I'm not familiar with organiser I can't comment. But in your case I would export 50 shots from organiser and import them to iPhoto and explore.
I have tried to import from iphoto to the organiser but it seems to bring all files over each time even though some info on the net suggests it can select events
How are you exporting? This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
I had also used the faces feature in iphoto, but organiser doesn't seem to import these tags and wants to do face recognition again.
None of these apps can share Faces data. They all use their own system and there is no standardisation.

I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

I deleted Iphoto? How do I recover it?

Alright, so Iphoto was already installed when I got this (used) Mac, so I don't have the "disks" for it and whatnot. When I upgraded to OS x Yosemite, Iphoto refused to work, saying I needed to update it, however when I tried to update it on the App store, it said I did not purchase Iphoto with my current Apple ID and refused to let me get it. I did not know it costed money and I deleted it from the launchpad, hoping to re-install the updated version, but I went to the App store and it costs money. Now all my photos are gone and I don't know how to recover Iphoto, no matter how much I try. What should I do?

How to recover iphoto pictures from a hard drive

My macbook pro got water on it and it doesn't work anymore. I bought a new one, but want to recover the information from the hard drive in the old computer. I am trying to recover my iphoto pictures, but I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive. Can you help? How can I recover the pictures from my iphoto library? Thank you for your suggestions.

Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it? From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive" I'm assuming you can somehow.
Therefore copy the library to your new Mac and try to open the library from there. If you can copy the library to you new Mac but can't open it with iPhoto open it with the Finder and follow these directions:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
