HT2638 iPhoto database rebuild
My 2007 black MacBook died and I had the hard drive recovered onto a back up drive. I had a shop transfer everything to my new Mac Mini. All my pictures are intact in the correct event/album, but only as thumbnails. I do not know which option to choose to repair my library. When I click on the picture currently I get the black triangle with grey exclamation point.
Some of the pictures I have are my only copies and are of special events...I am very nervous and don't want to lose any!
Sounds like the recovery was incorrectly done
Right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents - look (do not make any changes of any sort) in the masters folder and see what is there including pixel size of photos - also look in previews and thumbnails for the same
If the recovery was done correctly there is a small thumbnail of each photo in the thumbnails folder - a full resolution copy of the image in masters and a preview (typically smaller than the master but not necessarily) in the previews folder - what you you have
Until we know what you have it is not possible to go further - and if the correct photos are not there then you can not fix that - you need to have the recovery done correctly - there is no way to fix a small photos to be a larger one
Probably the best solution is going to be to restore your backup from before the MB died rather than doing recovery from a dead machine

Rebuilding iPhoto database and missing files
Heya,
I got a corrupt iPhoto6 database after a power failure (but had a backup) while travelling. I didnt have the backup drive handy(was far away), so I kept adding new files to this corrupt database. I also began making modifications.
Now I want the two together and keep all the modifications too. I foolishly thought I could: add to the backup the new "rolls" with the Originals and Modified folders and then rebuild the database.
Why 'rebuilding the database' doesnt involve scanning through these two directories I don't know, because this doesnt work. I thought maybe the permissions were wrong, but that doesnt seem to be it.
So what the best way - while retaining the modifications Ive made to my new rolls - to add everything back to the Master/non-corrupted database. A Merge with iPhoto Library Manager? Could a rebuilt with it work(Looks like no, since it only scans the xml file).
cheers,
matt
Intel Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)Matt:
Here's what I think is your only option to retain some of the modifications that are in the library and get all of your photos back.
1 - create a new library.
2 - with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager copy all of the albums and rolls from the current library into the new one. This will retain your rolls and albums, keywords, and comments but not slideshows, books, etc.
3 - copy the Originals folder from the current library to the desktop.
4 - drag the Originals folder into the open iPhoto window. You should get a window asking if you want to import duplicates or not - select not.
That will give you the closest you can get to what you had before the crash with the after crash modifications.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
iPhoto 9.5.1 has suddenly got all blank photos. If I scroll through the photos they appear briefly and disappear. I have not updated to Yosemite - I am still running Mavericks on an iMac. I have been through the database rebuild and repair routines. I uploaded photos and movies three days ago and all was well. Then I used the migration assistant to copy from Time Machine to a new Macbook Air and noticed blank photos. I thought it was a problem with the Macbook Air, but then I went back to the iMac to check and they were all blank as well.
what does appear after the photo "flashes"?
Have you repaired permissions? If not backup your iPhoto library and option-command launch and repair permissions - then repair the database and if needed rebuild the database
If that does not do it down iPhoto Library Manager on the iMac and use the free trial's rebuild command to create a totally new library leaving the existing one alone
Once you have the iMac working correctly then connect the two systems together (or use an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and drag the iPhoto library form the iMac to the pictures folder of the MBA (rather than migration assistant)

IPhoto 08 rebuild of all thumbnails fails with KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0
I've used the option-cmd iPhoto launch to rebuild the database. This has cleared up a number of problems (Thanks, Terence and others!). Now I've finally got everything organized the way I want it (I think), so I took a backup and started the rebuild of all thumbnails. Estimated duration was 2 hours, but about 45 minutes into the rebuild, it fails with a KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000. This has happened 3 times (over the past week). I have reported it to Apple twice. It has never run to successful completion.
My iPhoto database seems no better or worse (actually 1 photo less), but crashing during the rebuild is scary, and I fear something worse will happen in the future. Below is the log from the error message sent to Apple.
Anyone have suggestions?

First run Disk Utility and verify the disk. If there's repairs reported necessary then boot into the system install disk and run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. If no repairs are necessary try using iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. It create a new library and copies the necessary information and files from the old one which is left untouched. It often succeeds where the regular rebuild does not. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 2-3 hours so plan ahead.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
Upgrading iPhoto database EPIC FAILURE
Since upgrading to Yosemite a few months ago I can't successfully upgrade my iPhoto database. It gets about 95% done and then goes no further. It does not fail but does not complete. I have let it go as long as 48 hours. I have tried this at least ten times. In the end I have force quit. How can I ever get iPhoto to open again?
Your db is corrupted.
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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.

Check / Repair iPhoto Database - choose which options?
Hi!
I have read several tips regarding the "Command+Option Click" on the iPhoto Icon and check / repair the iPhoto database. Can someone explain all the 6 options, I can choose in the dialog box?
#1 - Repair the iPhoto Library Database
Where will I see the results of this scan/repair? I have tried it but I didn't see any results (scan finished - no errors -or- xx errors corrected).
#2 - Rebuild the database from automatic backup?
What's that for an automatic backup? Is this the timemachine backup? or is it an iPhoto internal database backup?
#3 and #4 - Rebuild small/all tumbnails
What's the difference? Why should this be necessary?
#5 recover orphaned photos
Are orphaned photos photos, which does exist in the library, but has no thumbnail/event/...?
Or are these photos which has a thumbnail and are in an event, but the full image is missing?
#6 Repair iPhoto Library file permissions
I think, it is easy and recommended to always check this, or?
I have also read the tip "delete iPhoto's cache files, located in ....... caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder".
Are these files the thumbnails from option #3 or #4? or is this something different?
I actually don't have a problem, but iPhoto is extremely slow and I want to know, if everything is ok with the library.
BTW - iPhoto '11 is great! But unfortunately - slow..... (13" 2.53GHz MacBookPro, 4GB RAM bought November 2009 - is this too old for iPhoto 11?)
best regards
michael#1 - Repair the iPhoto Library Database
iPhoto attempts to repair the database. There is no report.
#2 - Rebuild the database from automatic backup?
It's an internal iPhoto database back up.
#3 and #4 - Rebuild small/all tumbnails
Because some folks lose their thumbnails, some folks have thumbnails that don't match the photo.
#5 recover orphaned photos
iPhoto will examine the library folder for any photos that are not currently being displayed in Albums or Events in the iPhoto source list. It may find some, it may not.
#6 Repair iPhoto Library file permissions
No need to do this unless you have a permissions issue.
I have also read the tip "delete iPhoto's cache files, located in ....... caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder".
No this is a different cache.

Iphoto stuck "upgrading iphoto database"
I upgraded to the new version of iphoto with Yosemite but can not get it to launch properly. It sits with the message "upgrading iphoto database" for seemingly ever. I've left it going overnight and still nothing. I've forced quit, restarted, erased and redownloaded iphoto, all with the same results. Any help or how to fix would be appreciated.

I recently upgraded to OSX 10.8 and also upgraded to iPhoto '11. When opening the new version of iPhoto, it prompts me to upgrade the iPhoto database. Right now (24 hours later) the blue stream has gone almost to the end of the line, has stalled, and the white spinny icon is still rotating, Should this take so long? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Larry,
Thank you for responding so quickly. I did what you suggested and the window instructed me to rebuild my library, then I was again prompted to update my database and the same thing is happening. I'm afraid I've lost my library. It's not even showing up in my hard drive.

Corrupted iPhoto database (thanks a lot mobileme!)
Following a stalled mobileme upload where iphoto locked up and couldn't even be force quited, I have a corrupted iPhoto )* database and can't see the last two years of photo's.
There files are thankfully still all there in the appropriate "originals", "modified" and "data" files but iphoto can't SEE them to open them.
I tried rebuilding the library but still no go. Dragging the files into my back up iphoto library (which covers up until last month) preserves all the metadata, which is a relief.
HOWEVER, I have just returned to the UK with about 2000 shots from a US trip, and I will potentially lose the hours I have spent editing these shots. I could merge the original and modified files before re-importing but that is going to be very laborious....
So my question is, is there an easy way to repair the library database without having to re-import??
Any help/suggestions greatly received!
p.s. mobileme iPhoto syncing has DESTROYED the previous stability and usability of the web gallery feature..... This is the buggiest bit of software tech I have seen as a 20 year plus mac user!

To recover for a damaged dB file if you run into a similar problem in the future see the tip at the end of my signature.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard. -
Hi All.
Have had to resort to posting on here for assistance with an issue on my mid 2010 macbook pro, purchased January 2011. Never had any issues with it until now. I recently updated software and now can't access iphoto. I am not sure what the update was and whether this is related or not.
On trying to open iphoto, the message is that the library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iphoto and my iphoto library will not be readable by previous version of iphoto after the upgrade process. The only options were quit or upgrade so on clicking 'upgrade' the message becomes "iphoto is unable to open this library...it has issues that require rebuilding to correct." Options are quit or rebuild so on clicking 'rebuild', message becomes "iphoto library is missing required database files and must be rebuilt before it can be opened". On clicking the further 'rebuild' option, the message becomes "iphoto will open as soon as the library is available. However having left it running overnight, it still appeared to be trying to rebuild with no discernable progress made. As a result, i have cancelled the rebuild after 12 hours.
Having looked at a few postings on here with apparently similar issues, i have tried the CMD/ALT option when opening iphoto and selecting various options available. Option 1 - repair iphoto database seems to produce the same effect as above, ie says it is rebuilding though no progress can be seen, though there is a secondary 'rebuilding library : examining library' box which never makes any progress. The 2nd option - rebuild iphoto library database from automatic backup, doesnt work and results in the message 'your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup. I do have a backup on a separate hard drive.
I have the following questions and would be grateful for any assistance that can be given. I am by no means a computer expert but figure with a bit of pointing in the right direction, i should be able to sort out basic issues.
1 - I am not sure how to restore from a backup so assistance would be appreciated.
2 - Is the problem with iphoto itself or, as has been suggested in some postings, the library? What is the difference?
3 - Do i need to delete the version of iphoto i have and replace either from the discs or with a downloaded version? if so, what version do i use? My mac uses osx 10.6.8.
4 - Are my photos still on the macbook somewhere and assuming i can get a working version of iphoto again, how do i access them? Or, do i have to use the backedup photos on the separate drive?
Many thanks
MikeHere is what I suggest you do.
(a) Download iPhoto Library Manager. I think it costs $20 or $30 but it is worth it.
(b) Make a copy of your iPhoto Library from your backup that presumably is in better shape than the one you have been working from. I don't know what format your backupo is. If you can simply copy the iPhoto Library file (it's actually a type of folder but looks like a file) over from the backup, do that, and work with that copy, leaving the backup copy alone, untouched (in case something goes wrong). If you used Time Machine, run Time Machine and go back in time to before you started trying to update the iPhoto Library file and copy that earlier backed up copy over to work with. If you instead wish to work with your current version of the iPhoto Library, which I don't recommend but which might be ok, you can do that.
(c) Run iPhoto Library Manager. Choose Add Library and navigate to and select the copy of your iPhoto Library backup from above (or your current copy of the iPhoto Library if that is the approach you are taking).
(d) Once you have that iPhoto Library selected in iPhoto Library Manager, under the File Menu select Rebuild Library ...
(e) It will save this rebuilt library as a separate file, not modifying the file you are rebuilding. This is a big plus.
(f) As the rebuild proceeds, it will show you each photo as it processes it, so you can gauge the progress precisely.
(g) When done, the rebuilt iPhoto Library (new) file should work properly with iPhoto.
My daughter's 22,000 iPhoto Library was rebuilt this way and it took ~ 4 hours. But it worked. Hers stopped working when her computer froze while working in iPhoto.
This iPhoto Library Manager program is more successful in rebuilding these photo databases than is iPhoto itself.
Answers to your questions:
(1) Depends on your backup. I gave some hints above for Time Machine.
(2) The iPhoto Library is a database of all the photos. I suspect from what you describe that it is the iPhoto Library itself that has become corrupted. This is the most common problem. The database is complex and is prone to this sort of thing.
(3) You should use the most recent version of iPhoto. Click ONCE on the iPhoto application in your Applications folder and in the File Menu select Get Info. It should be version 9.3 or later. You can update it through Software Update or through the App Store if necessary.
(4) Even though your iPhoto Library file/database appears to be corrupted, the photos are all still there. Just the pointers have been corrupted so iPhoto cannot access them in an orderly way. You can see the original photos by going to the iPhoto Library, RIGHT-CLICKING on it, selecting Show Package Contents, and looking in the folder there called Masters (or Originals). If you really had to, you could copy those originals out into a big new folder and re-import them all into a new iPhoto Library, but I doubt that will be necessary. By the way, do not change or modify anything that is inside this iPhoto Library file/folder, but you can look in there to see that your original photos are still present. -
Faces gone after upgrades to Mavericks and iPhoto database.
After upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, the iPhoto Database had to be upgraded by iPhoto to work with Mavericks. It went thru the process and afterwards many (but not all) of my Faces were gone. The photos are still there...and they're still tagged with the appropriate Faces name, but they will not show up in Faces. The only way I can get them to show up there is to delete the Faces names that are already on the photo and re-enter the Faces from scratch. But since there are at least 1500 photos that are affected, there's got to be a better way! I've done each of the following to no avail:
1) Repaired permissions.
2) Rebuilt Thumbnails.
3) Repaired the Database
4) Rebuilt the Database
5) Restored the Database from Time Machine to pre-Mavericks. The database had to be converted by iPhoto like before. And the results are the same - lots and lots of Faces missing - though everything else appears to be there. The only thing I can see is that it's the same set of years where the Faces are missing (it's something like all Faces from 1942-1970 are missing - but the ones before and after that are there).
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.Since you've tried all of the standard fixes there's only one left:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
If no change try rebuilding the thumbnails again.

Sharing One iPhoto Database Between Two Accounts
Below is a reply to a question I have regarding sharing photos with my wife on the same Mac. I would like for us both to able to upload, edit, and use photos from the same iPhoto database. Do all of the buggaboos listed in the reply below still apply?
Thanks,
Jim
Re: Sharing Photo's on the same iMac between two user accounts

For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

TDNo. All the folks who post here are just Users, like you.

Multiple iPhoto databases on 1 mac?
is there a way to have more than 1 iPhoto database on a computer?
for example, if i want to have on my mac at work 2 different database files, one work related photos and another for personal photos. i would like to have a separate database for selected photos from my home computer, say a vacation trip... i don't want to have 1 iPhoto database with both work picture and personal pictures mix in the same database...
another way to think of this is like the following... if i set up an album, is it possible to save/export an album out of the main iPhoto database and save it to another iPhoto database on the same computer?
when i get jpgs, even at work, i normally store the jpgs in the folder with the project that they are associated with... i never use iPhoto because i prefer to keep the photos local to the particular project or topic that the belong to... for me, keeping all photos in 1 location is like organizing my mac filing system so that all of my excel files are in 1 directory on my computer, regardless of what project the excel files pertain to... when i'm working on a project, then all files are in the same location, the project folder... when i archive a project, then all the files, including the jpgs, get archived with that folder... if i transfer that project to someone else, then they get all files for that project... and i can remove that project from my computer since it is archived onto a disk or external hard drive...
another example is how filemaker works. i can make as many copies of a filemaker database as i want in and save each copy in a different location on my computer... i don't have the clutter of all the data unrelated to the project i'm working on in that file mixed in with the project for that folder... so i can keep a database for each project with only the data for that project, and that database gets archived, transferred, and removed with the project folder... if i update the database, i don't have to work on updating data from old projects that i'm not working on any more... if i'm working with someone on the database for a specific project, we don't have to filter out data from all the other projects...
if iPhoto doesn't allow this, is there other photo library software that does do this? my needs are very basic, only need date, title, maybe tags/keywords, or notes, and the ability to search these fields... i have no need to manipulate or edit the jpegs... no slide shows, no music, no book making...
thanks for any suggestions...As Larry says, multiple libraries are easy and available.
another way to think of this is like the following... if i set up an album, is it possible to save/export an album out of the main iPhoto database and save it to another iPhoto database on the same computer?
To move pics/albums/events between Libraries you’ll need iPhoto Library Manager.
