HT2638 Missing iPhoto library - now I have a new but empty one. Help please!
Holding down 'command' 'option' or 'command' 'O' doesn't work for me - I have iPhoto 11, is there another way to bring up the above repair/restore icon?
Well there's a story here
It looks like perhaps in attempts to remove files from my disk
What files did you remove?
maybe because I almost reached disk capacity it somehow crashed
This is very possible.
How big is your HD? How much free space on it now?

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
******A true apple fan********Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?
How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture. What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers? -
Renamed iPhoto library now unable to open?
Hi
As it was the start of a new year i thought that i would start a new iPhoto library - i went into finder and renamed the iPhoto Library - iPhoto Library2006 - this forced iPhoto to open up new iPhoto Library which of course was empty.
Now if i try to open iPhoto Library2006 using iPhoto Library Manager or iPhoto Buddy i still get the (empty) iPhoto Library?
I have since deleted the new iPhoto Library and renamed the iPhoto Library2006 to it's original title - iPhoto Library.
In Finder this library thows up as 1.62GB but still opens with 'no photos'.
I'm using iPhoto 6.05
Where have i gone wrong folks?
ThanksIan
I'm sorry to say, but it looks like somehow in the Naming/Renaming business you have overwritten the library file. With a folder size of 1.63 gigs, I would expect that file to be several megabytes. A 4kb file is brand new.
Do you have a back up? If so, now is the time for it. If not, then you'll need to rebuild your library from scratch: To rebuild the library: move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find there the Originals folder. From there drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Can I delete iPhoto Library now I use Photo for iCloud?
Hi,
Had a look around for the answer but I cannot find it.
My MBP is running low on HD space, can i delete the old iPhoto Library now i am storing them all on the cloud with photo?
Thanks for your help in advance.
SteliosVery good point, once they take it out of BETA then in theory it would be ok?
Will also be saving a local backup also so im not relying on icloud fully. -
IPhoto has no photo in iPhoto library nor another album....empty folders...
I don't know why what used to be working fine and now iPhoto library contains folder with no photo?!
Would it be because I move the iPhoto library to my user/home folder?
I have been shooting Raw and load into Bridge and save to album folder in iPhoto library in my home folder. I am also seeing Abobe Bridge cache bc. and bct. files populated every where. It just so confusing.
Now, just want to set iPhoto right first. How can I get photo back in iPhoto library?
I have used Diskwarrior and apple disk utility to try to fox it but no help.
Help!vchen:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In moving that original iPhoto Library folder iPhoto could not find it the next time it was launched and created a new one. So launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, choose the Find option. Then navigate to the location of your original iPhoto folder and select it. Once you're back up and running with it you can delete the library folder that is in your Pictures folder. It will be the empty one.
Do you Twango? -
i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?
If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

IPhoto library will not copy to new mac
I am trying to move my iPhoto library from my hard drive backup (time machine) to my new MacBook Pro.
I open a finder window for my new macs pictures folder and one for the hard drive.
I delete the new library and then drag the back up library to its place..
The file copy window pops up shortly but no transfer takes place before it closes and an icon appears, it does not look like a library icon, more like an empty sheet..
when I open Iphoto no photos are there...
Why can't I copy my library?? It shows a 7.5 GB size and I did not get any warnings that the backup had a problem after backing up.. I'm lost....To move an iPhoto library you must have a complete operating iPhoto library - if you have one on your old computer then Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
If you do not have a good complete operating library then restore it to the old system, test it and drag it across

Accidentally merged my iPhone with my partners iPhone library now when she adds new app she is asked for my password, when she restores phone, my apps download onto her chosen wallpaper/phone 5c, she still has her content too, it's like we have two accounts merged into one even our music is one big jumbled mess! please help!?!?!
Yeah we thought about just syncing straight to her itune library... But the problem is she had used her iphone 3gs to purchase a boat load of new music and apps during the past 30 days or so... And those now only show up in my itunes library...
Also - I want to be careful not to wipe out all of my content by syncing her phone with my itunes again... Are there any precautions to take to make sure that the sync ensures content writing to her iphone ... rather than the other way around?
Thanks! -
i had my i-pod synced to my old computer and i lost that computer. now i have a new one , and i want to sync it to my i-pod can i do that and save all my music
iPod classic?
Recover media from iPod
See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
... or iPod touch?
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

I accidentally set up two accounts. One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it. Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account? I need to disable the new e-mail address account so that I can add it as an additional e-mail to my old account. THEN, how do I make this new e-mail address my primary e-mail for this old account?
Did yoo go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?
