HT201170 Force quit iPhoto while making a photo book

I had to force quit iPhoto while I was making a photo book. The photo book is still there but the photos I recently added (after laboriously scanning them in) are no longer viewable in the side bar with all the project photos. They are also gone from my iPhoto library. When I view each photo page individually the 'missing photos' are still on the pages yet when I view 'all pages' they are not there. Worried if I go to purchase, they won;t be on the pages at all.
Help?

  • Can I force quit iphoto while it is rebuilding the library database?

    I have my iphoto library database and application on an external drive.  I did this because I have over 20 thousand photos and I wanted to conserve space on my MacBook Pro.  I bumped the connection and the computer decided on its own to rebuild the iphoto library.  I was worried that something was wrong so I let it do its thing.  It has been spinning for over 8 hours.  The message reads ... rebuilding library 22902 versions restored
    What do I do?

    Well I would let it finish. Though if that number hasn't changed then the process may be hung. so you'll have no choice but to force quit.
    What format is the external drive?
    If the force quit is necessary you can redo the rebuild yourself - what version of iPhoto do you have?

  • I just imported 70 photos successfully, edited them, and then attempted to upload them to a Facebook album.  It did not work and got hung up, so I force quit IPhoto and was going to try again.  The 70 photos have DISAPPEARED!!  Help !!!!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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.

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • Facebook albums removed!  Have to force quit iPhoto

    My wife has a Facebook account and this morning uploaded photos from her camera into iPhoto '11. Then she deleted the ones she did not like and edited those she kept. She then highlighted them all. Clicked Share and Facebook and then iPhoto started popping up messages saying that past Facebook albums have been removed. The only way to stop this was to force quit. She has lost about 15 albums.
    I restored my whole system from Time Machine and reverted back to iPhoto '09. The Facebook albums are still lost but the rest of the program seems to be running fine.
    Can anyone offer any help or advice? Why is this happening?
    Thanks.
    Thom

    I am having the same problems as everyone & am going to do what Thom has done & use Time Machine to restore my Macbook Pro to before I installed iLife 11.
    I followed all the advice from the Apple Store about installing ILife 11 - I backed up on Time Machine, Installed iLife 11, then did a software update before opening any iLife programs. I have double checked & find that there are no other updates available.
    The problems I am having with iPhoto 11 are:-
    1. My Facebook albums are being deleted & the only way to stop this happening is to Force Quit. iPhoto.
    2. There is no longer a list of all my Facebook & Mobile me albums in the left hand side folder list, so I am unable to drag more photos into the albums.
    3. Some of my mobile me galleries have been changed & photos deleted or in the wrong albums.
    4. When emailing photos, there is only the photo templates available to use. Trying to save a photo from the template in the received email is impossible - you only seem to be able to save the whole template. Is there a way of sending multiple photos in a chosen size without the template as in iPhoto 09?
    iPhoto 11 is driving me crazy - I daren't even look at iMovie as I dread to think what has happened to that!! I much prefer iPhoto 09!!
    Do you think that I can get a refund for iLife 11 if I take it back to the Apple Store?
    Off to restore my Macbook & be rid of iLife 11!!

  • When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly.  I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

    There are numerous posts on the forum with the same issue. It seems it is an issue at Apple's end, but I have not seen any Info from Apple.

  • Can I quit iPhoto while Duplicate Annihilator is running?

    I just bought Duplicate Annihilator v2.22.0 and when I press, "find and annihilate duplicates", iPhoto opens. Now, I wanted to know if I can quit iPhoto while Duplicate Annihilator is running. Though the application states, "IMPORTANT! Do not interfere with iPhoto during the process", I wouldn't really be interfering with it, would I?

    Oh I think that quitting the app would count as interference.
    However, for best support you should contact the Makers of the app.

  • How do I sort the photos in the photo pane when making a photo book?

    There's a certain order that I'd like to see the photos I want to use when making a photo book.  But the order that I have it in (which is done manually and not by date) in the album does not appear in the same order when I want to turn some of those photos into a photo book.  For some reason the photos that appear on the right side of the screen, "photo pane" show the photos in a different order.  Is there some kind of setting that I'm missing?

    No - they are in date order - the only solution I've seen is to ues teh batch change command time & Date command on the photos in the album to put them in date order to match the album  --  or just drag them to the book pages in the order you want them

  • Need help - had to force quit iPhoto '09 and now I cannot see my photos

    I just imported some photos and at the end when it asks for Keep Originals or Delete, I chose Delete and that action took me to a spinning beach ball. Since it did not complete for a few minutes, I decided to force quit the application.
    I restarted it and realized that iPhoto did not have my imported pictures, and worse, it had successfully deleted the pictures from the camera!
    Does anyone know of a way to somehow get those photos from somewhere/anywhere?

    1 - it is recommended that you never have iPhoto delete your photos - import your photos and select do not delete - after dismounting the camera and verifying that the import went fine use your camera to format the media card - this both protects you from computer/software failures that can lose photos (as you just had) but also renews the media card format making such failures less likely
    2 - at this time the only option you have is to use file recovery software like Media recover - http://www.mediarecover.com/ to recover the photos on your camera card

    Yes, I have learned the hard way that I will always "keep originals" and delete/format offline.
    I have downloaded mediarecover and it seems to be great. It took a long time to do the deep scan, so I stopped it midway, but it had found 30-odd pictures already! Thanks for the recommendation, I will be purchasing the software

  • Export from iPhoto while keeping original photo information?? NEED HELP!!!

    I'm trying to set up a pc for my grandmother so I can take over her old computer (macbook air). However she has 11000 photos on iPhoto and I need to move then all onto a storage device (about 30GB) but when I export them the computer doesn't copy all the information such as the date the photo was taken etc. Talking to a guy in the apple store he said i couldn't do it, but he was being pretty unhelpful so I was wondering if anyone here could give me an answer. How do you export from iPhoto while keeping all the information?

    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    As to dates specifically:
    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
    However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • Uploaded pictures. Chose deleted originals. Took long time. Forced quit. iphoto uploaded a few, deleted most. Deleted pics in trash. Can't open w/ or send to iphoto. Help!

    I was uploading pictures from my canon into iphoto. After the upload was completed, I chose to deleted the originals. The "finishing import" was taking longer than usual. I chose "force quit" because iphoto wasn't responding. When I re-opened iphoto, 60 of 370 photos had been imported. The rest were missing. I checked the camera, and the 60 that had been imported were still on the memory card. The rest were gone. I found the deleted photos in the Trashbin of my Mac. I can view these in Preview as JPEG files. However, I cannot save these to iphoto. Nor can I import them into iphoto. I also tried saving them onto a flash drive, but the computer said the JPEG files were corrupted and could not be opened from the flash drive after I saved them there.
    Is there any way I can move these pictures into my iphoto library? Help is greatly appreciated!!!!

    You can recover the files from the card with an app like  MediaRecover
    The more important tip:  Never let your computer erase any data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
    1. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
    2. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
    3. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.

  • If I force quite will i lose my photos in album

    I'm trying to make a slide show.  Application is not responding.  If Iforce quite iPhoto, will I lose the photos in my album?

    Hard to say but if you have to force quit then you have to do it - if you are luck you will lose nothing - if you are unlucky then you will have to go back to you backup from before this occurred - but you have no choice if you have to force quit
