HT204693 I lost my Iphoto libabry when I updated yosemite

Help I can't figure out how to recover my Iphoto library saved somewhere on my mac

And with that amount of information no one else can either. You need to remember that we cannot see your machine, so you need to explain in some details what's gone wrong, why you think there is a library "somewhere" on your machine and how you got to this point.

  • Lost my Iphoto 09 when trying to get my library moved from imac to MBP

    YIKES...How to begin???
    I've lost my iphoto 09 when trying to copy my library from my iMac G5 to my mbp. When I did the migration using migration assistant the photos had not come over. So, I connected the imac to the mbp using a firewire cable, and tried the drag and drop it looked like it went over, but then when i disconnected the imac, there was nothing. Even the iPhoto icon disappeared. I tried reinstalling it with the Applications Install DVD which came with my MBP, but it doesn't have iphoto on it.
    Am I going to have to buy a copy of iLife???
    Does anyone have any idea what may have happened???
    My photos and my music are my most important items on my computer; I did get all the music very successfully, but photos........NOT. HELP, please.
    thanks, lisel

    I've lost my iphoto 09 when trying to copy my library from my iMac G5 to my mbp.
    Have you looked in your applications folder to see if iPhoto is there?

    What did you try to drag and drop - the iPhoto library - the iPhoto program ???

    If iPhoto came on your computer it is on the restore disk that came with it - do a custom install of bundled software only - click here for MacWorld's article on installing Applications from your restore disks.

  • Iphoto disappeared when I updated to OS X Yosemite - help!

    iphoto disappeared after I updated to Yosemite. When I spotlight search it, I'm alerted my version is incompatible with Yosemite, and need to update. When I go to update, I'm told this version isn't available yet in my country (USA). The app and all my non-backed up photos are gone... how do I recover this?

    1. First make a back up:
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    2. Download the App:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • HT1711 i lost all my music when i updated my itunes on my computer

    i lost all of my music on my laptop when i updated my itunes on my computer what happen ino music in my libary on my computer

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other music yo will have to get them from where you originally obtained them. The iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • I lost all my bookmarks when I updated Firefox

    When I updated Firefox I lost all my bookmarks

    Hi there, have you already tried the solutions in [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]? If not please check it out. If those instructions don't work, we need to know if your bookmarks are still in a backup file.
    Is it possible you ended up in a new profile when you updated? Did you get a message about your profile being in use? This case is also covered in that article.
    If nothing helps let us know if your bookmarks are in a backup and what version you upgraded from and if you used the automatic update or if you installed a new version by hand. Also if you have any add-ons installed.

  • I lost my contact list when i update iphone

      Need help when i update iphone . i lost all my contact list

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    If the device is being used as designed, it is a simple matter of re-syncing the content back to the device.

  • Iphoto froze when downloading update, have lost all pictures. Can I retrieve?

    I'm being told to re-download iphoto from ilife - but won't this mean I have lost all my valued pictures? Why does downloading new updates cause so many problems? When I tried to update my iphone to IoS5 it froze the phone and I lost all my contacts, messages and info. Unbelievably I then couldn't retrieve from my backup as it demanded a password and, despite hundreds of attempts to input it, I was told by Apple tech support that there are big problems with iphone backup passwords. They admitted that they can't help with passwords as the Mac and iphone generate new passwords every time you charge your phone on another machine that not your own. HEEEELP.

    1 - reloading iPhoto does not affect your photos - they are in teh iPhoto library
    2 - even if you have a problem you surely always have a good backup - if you don't you are guaranteed to lost your photos and all other files sooner or later
    3 - If you have iphone and IOS 5 questions teh iPhone forum is a great place to ask
    You question is not clear and rambles so I am not sure if this really answers it or not - if it does not please ask a specific question about iPhoto including details of errors you get

  • I Lost my iphoto library when backing up to my hard drive.

    I thought I was backing up my iphoto library to my hard drive.  I dragged it off my dock and dropped it onto the external hard drive.  The cloud poof came up. I took it to the Mac store because I was having problems with my speakers. They said I needed to update my OS.  I installed Snow Leopard. Since then I have NOT been able to find part of my iphoto library.  I have everything through Aug 2012.  Everything since September forward is gone. I have tried everything, but cannot seem to find it. Any ideas?

    Here is what I have tried so far...I found 'pictures'
    file:///Users/suzannekelly/Pictures/
    Then when I click on pictures this comes up...
    file:///Users/suzannekelly/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/
    Then when I click on the iphoto folder these four options come up...
    file:///Users/suzannekelly/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/iPhoto.ipspot
    file:///Users/suzannekelly/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/AlbumData2.xml
    file:///Users/suzannekelly/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/AlbumData.xml
    file:///Users/suzannekelly/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/Metadata%20Backup/
    Then when I click on the 4th one, Matadata backup the following three options come up...
    file:///Users/suzannekelly/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/Metadata%20Backup/Globals.i pmeta
    file:///Users/suzannekelly/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/Metadata%20Backup/BackupSta tus.ipmeta
    file:///Users/suzannekelly/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/Metadata%20Backup/Albums/
    Then when I click on Albums the following comes up...
    The following file could not be imported (The file is an unrecognized format)
    /Users/suzannekelly/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Metadata Backup/Albums/Album.5562.ipmeta
    I am currently using iPhoto 09.  Like I said, I have everything BEFORE September of 2012, and nothing since then.
    Thanks,

  • II lost all my contacts when I updated

    I just updated my iphone as well as added icloud and I have LOST ALL MY CONTACTS.  Does anyone know how to restore?

    My contacts are back.  Now when I go to 'messages' and open that, all my im's are there but they are by number and not by the names they used to be.  Do you know how to restore the names to what is was previously or do I need to go through each one and name it again?

  • I've lost all my bookmarks when I updated to FF7. This is a disaster! ! ! ! When will I be able to use my Yahoo bookmarks again? ? ?

    There are no more detail. I just lost all my bookmarks. I want them back ! ! ! !

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Lost Cd Rom - prompt when install update

    I've got a 6500Slide and had the PC suite installed on my desktop.
    I tried updating the software the other day at the prompt for new updates being available.
    Got as far as the wizard asking me to insert the CDrom that came with the phone, which I now can't find :-(
    Got stuck there - I've uninstalled the software & tried from scratch downloading it again to install but everytime I get stuck at the prompt asking me for the CDrom.
    Help! Is there a way I can download & install the software for my phone without the CDrom that I've lost?
    Cheers

    You should not need the cd to install latest pcsuite. I suggest you remove previous installl and clean using pcsuite cleaner before downloading latest version and reinstalling.
    PCSuite Cleaner can be downloaded from

  • I just lost ALL my files when i updated my ipad 2 to IOS 5.0

    I had over 20 GB files including music, apps and most of all tv shows, overall i lost around $300 in content i litterally have had my ipad stripped of all its media is there anyway i can get my stuff back? Or am i just screwed -_-

    I lost all my apps/music as well upgrading to 5.0 on an IPAD 2. I synced up to Itunes before upgrading but all those files were lost as well.   Fortunately I saved my photos/videos separately on an external hard drive.  The rest of the apps, music, in app buys, books, etc were all recoverable as the App store (and others) had a list of everything I had purchased previously and I just had to re-install/load them.
