I downloaded 200  photos, an event folder was created, I could see all the photos and was in the process of editing them when I got a message that iPhoto unexpectedly quit.  I cannot find the photos anywhere on my computer now.  Is there anything to do?

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.

  • When I try to open iPhoto it begins the process and then stops. It brings up a message that iPhoto has quit unexpectedly. Efforts to reopen it bring the same result. My timemachine has been accidentally turned off. I have 20,000 photos on iPhoto. Help!

    When I try to open iPhoto it begins the process and then stops. It brings up a message that iPhoto has quit unexpectedly. Efforts to reopen it bring the same result. My timemachine has been accidentally turned off. I have over 20,000 photos on iPhoto. Help!

    First, copy your iPhoto Library to an external so that you have a backup.
    Second, see if you can create a new Library and have it open. To do this, open iPhoto while holding down the Option key. It will ask which Library to use, or allow you to create a new Library. Save the new library with a different name from the old one.
    If that does open with a new library, the old library is corrupt, but all the files are still OK.
    If it is a corrupt Library, iPhoto Library Manager can repair some corruption, or transfer the Library over to a new one.

  • Cannot find SCANPST.EXE anywhere on my Computer

    Hi,
    I have two computers one running Windows 7 Ultimate, the other running Windows 8.1 Pro.  I have Office Professional Plus 2013 installed on both. On both compters I an unable to locate the SCANPST.EXE file.  I can find the DLL files in the expected
    folder locations but not the .EXE.  Re-installing Office made no difference. My search includes hidden files, system files and exe's to no avail.
    Please help !
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Scanpst.exe is installed when you install Outlook. The default location of the tool is:
    C:\Program Files|Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office1
    If you cannot find the Scanpst.exe file by using Search, check the following locations for the file. Where the file is located depends on which version of Windows that you are running:
    <var>disk drive</var>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICEnn
    where nn is 10 for Office XP, 11 for Office 2003,
    12 for the 2007 Office system, and 15 for Office 2013
    <var>disk drive</var>:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\
    <var>disk drive</var>:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\NT
    <var>disk drive</var>:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033

  • I have an ipad that only has wifi and I am unable to connect because all the networks are locked for access.   Is there anything that I can attached to my ipad that will make it possible for me to access the internet

    I need help.  Just purchased an ipad with wifi service only.  Is there anything that I can get that will allow me to access the internet.  I keep getting network connections that have a lock which makes it unable to log on.  Picking up numerous with sites with the lock.  Help did I make a mistake in getting this ipad.  If so, can I trade it in for one that is more network friendly.

    If you expect to use a WiFi only iPad it needs a wireless network. It is customary to have your own versus using someone else's.
    Nothing is more network friendly than an iPad.
    You couldn't possibly have expected to sponge off a service someone else is paying for?

  • I was running fine when i got a message that firefox upgrade failed now my home page message is try again later. Manual update says to go to help i cant find that screen what should i do?

    Firefox home page no longer comes up. it just says try again later. It started after failed auto update. Should I try manual update or reload firefox directions for doing manual update not clear on which screen to start at.

    Do you have any other drive connected, which has a copy of FCP X?
    I would make a copy of the application in some drive, just in case; then disconnect the drive, delete the application (could use FCS Remover to delete everything related).
    Then, try installing from the purchases tab in the App Store.

  • Downloaded firefox 4 and now get error message that it unexpectedly quit and won't let me open any version of firefox

    I shut down and did a restart. uninstalled and reinstalled and still get the error message "firefox quit unexpectedly" and there is no response to the reopen button

    There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

  • Hi. My phone screen broke and I had it replaced from a phone shop. The guy said that while changing the screen and phone was blocked. It is now disabled for like 23,000,000 minutes and I can't restore it cause I dont have all the data sync to my computer.

Is there anything I can do or can Apple do something if  I give them the  correct password?

    As you had the iPhone opened by an unauthorised repairer ( Apple do not replace screens on iPhone 4)
    Apple will not provide any service or support
    Take it back to the "phoneShop" and tell them to fix it
    You have no other alternatives

  • Can not see all the SQL server views

    My SQL Server 2005 (SP2 STD)  has about 1000 views. When I created a Crystal Report using Crystal Report 10, I can only see about 225 views are listed in Database Expert. Here is the procedure to reproduce the problem:
    1. Create a new Crystal Report
    2. Create a new connection using ODBC RDO
    3. Drill into DSN Name->DB Name->dbo->Views. Only the first 200 or so views in alphabetical order are listed on Available Data Sources on the left pane.
    I am using SQL authentication and sa account to connect to SQL. So security should not be the problem. I can also use Access 2003 linked table to see all the views in my SQL server.
    Is there a restriction on how many views can be listed in Crystal Data Source? Is there another way to add data source to Report without using Database Expert?
    Thanks in advance!

    Youdao,
    There is a default limit of 8000 objects that Crystal will see in the database.
    I would suggest right clicking on your datasource and selecting Options. In the Data Explorer uncheck Tables and Stored Procedures leaving Views selected > press OK > then right click again and refresh.
    If the limit was being reached then you should now see at least more Views if not all.
    The default limit can be edited in the Registry (*Always recommended to back up the registry before editing).
    The key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Crystal Decisions or Business Objects > (version number) > Crystal Reports > Fetch options > NTablesMax

  • Is there any way to see all the bookmarked pins at once in Map App?!

    Hello!
    I have been making a route for my next mountaineering trip using the red pins on the map app! i have like 20 bookmarks. I could see all the bookmarks at once and it was so nice. but after I searched another place all the bookmarks dissapeared. now i can see only one of the bookmarks at a time! is there any way to see all of them together again ?! please someone help I put so much affort to find the correct route...

    Richard,
    Is there any way I can simply list everything at once?
    The best workaround I'm aware of comes courtesy of BMan1854: Create a Smart Playlist that will Match the following rule: Date Added is after 01/01/2001 (or whatever the day before the day that you first started your iTunes Library is). That playlist will show your entire library.
    Or is there a way so that when I add new podcasts it will get rid of the old ones automatically?
    Have you gone to the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Podcasts tab and checked out the various options listed in the Keep drop-down menu.

    I just updated my MacBook Pro to 10.7.5 and got a message that the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext was improperly installed and cannot be used. How to I find and install this extension?

    Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, copy and paste the entire following line into it, and press the Run button:
    do shell script "chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" with administrator privileges
    If it doesn’t work, throw that item away and then reinstall iTunes.

  • HT201302 My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos.  I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone.  How do I now download those photos to my new computer?

    My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos.  I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone.  How do I now download those photos to my new computer.  Same thing with my iTunes music library.

    Unfortunately, I did not have the photos stored seperately.  When I set up iTunes on the new computer, I clicked "sync photos" and it said it would sync to the photos in the my pictures folder on the computer.  This is a new computer, so the folder is empty.  I am hesitant to allow the sync, because I do not want to wipe those photos from my iPhone, and never see them again.  This is a terrible spot to be in. 
    I have also lost my iTunes music library for the computer.  I subscribed to itunes Match, thinking it would upload my music from my phone to iCloud.  It only added 57 songs that I had purchased on the store previously.  None of the cd's I added where transferred.

  • I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks

    There has never been a reliable firewire ---> USB adapter suitable for external high speed storage.  This was a major issue when the MacBooks lost the firewire port a number of years ago (Apple subsequently brought it back).
    The only high speed port on the Air is the ThunderBolt port.  There are external ThunderBolt drive options out there, but they're somewhat more expensive than traditional USB/FireWire options.

    on syncing photos to my iphone from my mac (snow leopard) (iphoto), just 2 or 3 per event retain the edited verisons, the rest are shown in the original version. I'm confused by this. Is this a bug? Is there a way to see all the photos on the mac-edited version on iphn?

    Thanks for your reply
    I solved my problem,
    Definitely a bug in syncing through itunes.
    - Connect Iphone with MacBook Pro through USB
    - Go to iphone on itunes, photos, deselect photo synchronization.
    - Sync (all pics will be removed from iphone)
    - Close itunes, iphoto, disconnect iphone
    - Select in finder: (home)-pictures-iphoto library.
    - Sec click on iphoto library and choose "show package contents"
    - Delete iPod Photo Cache
    - Close finder
    - Empty trash
    - Reconnect iphone
    - Allow photo synchronization again and everything works smooth.
    After this, changes made in iphoto are instantaneously reflected in iphone photos.
    Once every hundred photos, one gets detached from iphoto and then changes are no longer reflected (buggy) :-(
    In this case I erase the photo in iphoto, sync, go back to iphoto trash, reestablish the photo from the trash and sync again.
    Hope this improves. Still have to try cloud though.
    Thanks

    yes, its the macbook air and mac OS X 10.7.4, not sure how that goes, about the time machine and time capsule, i only started using it today, when they were already deleted, also read at the support and help of iphoto, that if you delete your images from the picture folder that the images will be corrupted permanently, does this mean there there is no actual way of getting them back?
    Thanks for the help x
