I may have deleted something and now iPhoto won't load any longer.  Please help me

I'm very new with my macbook pro and I have been using iPhoto from day one.
However, I was messing around with the photos, and I deleted neccessary items for iPhoto unknowingly, now my iPhoto doesn't loat at all.
It shows loading logo spinning but never load and screen is blank.
Please help me get back my iPhoto.
Thank you.

Do you have any idea what you deleted? 
Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library.  If you can then the problem lies with the current library.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. please help

    I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. it stays on the opening screen and the message
    shows up that I must update the mediathek. If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?

    I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade
    Does that mean, you are running iPhoto 9.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 Yosemite? Or are you using an older MacOS X? "New" iPhoto is relative and depends on your system.
    If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?
    Does "shut down" mean it crashes?  Then post please the error log from the error panel here - copy and paste the report into your next answer (the first 50 lines should suffice)
    Where is your iPhoto Library (Mediathek) stored? Have you moved it to an external drive, or is it still in your Pictures folder (the order "Bilder")?

  • Firefox updated yesterday and now it won't load any webpages. Have reviewed articles on this problem and checked everything. Still won't load. All other browsers work fine.

    Have checked firewall and network settings and compared to other computers running firefox. All is ok, but firefox won't load any webpages. This started immediately after it updated yesterday. No error messages.
    Have been having problems with updates on serveral of our computers for a month or so. Previous problems have always been that firefox renames a file it needs by adding moz.backup to the file name and I have to search for the file and remove it. This time I'm getting no error messages.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    iPhoto is missing bits of itself and you need to reinstall it.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Dented my Macbook Pro and now it won't start up.  Please Help!

    Hello. I have searched and searched and cannot find a solution.
    Last night I was putting the finishing touches on my dissertation and accidentally dropped a tape dispenser on my 1-year-old MacBook Pro - it hit just to the left of the trackpad and left a nice little dent! After the "incident", I was attempting to pull up Word and the machine completely froze. I turned Mr. Mac off by holding down the power button and when I tried to restart, I never got past the Apple logo with the little spinning circle. After trying many times to restart, I made it to my desktop only twice, and after the dock appeared (with no menu bar above or desktop icons), the machine froze again. Each time, I heard the hard drive working until the big freeze.
    I was able to boot off of the Leopard install disc and ran "repair disk" on my hard drive - no errors were found. Tried restarting again and got nothing. I have since tried restarting with various key combinations and the machine only responded to "C" and "Option".
    This morning, I searched again and decided to try the "optioncommand+pr" to reset the PRAM as suggested to another damsel in distress with a similar issue. Now, when I try to restart, I get the gray screen followed by the chime, and then nothing - no hard drive working, no Apple logo, no spinning circle, nothing. My install CD will not spin and I none of the start-up key combinations work. It just sits there staring at me with that gray screen - laughing because my dissertation is in there somewhere and I can't get it out! Yes, I have backed my maching up on a 500G external hard drive, so I haven't lost much - but I can't access my hard drive without Mr. Mac! And I am a lonely Mac owner here - no others to borrow!
    I am going to an Apple Store on Saturday, but I thought I would give you guys a chance to save my life first. Any suggestions for this girl and her Mac would be great! I am defending my dissertation next week and I'm about one small crisis from a major meltdown!!!!!!
    Thanks!

    Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
    Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
    Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
    Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
    P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

  • I got the ios7 and now it won't activate, can someone please help?

    I had to restore my phone this morning in order to download the ios7, after i did that i could download the software.. after downloading my phone came baxk on but itunes was saying that there was an error.. my phone turned on but would not let me get past the wifi screen, it says i am unable to activate. it just says " your iphone could not be activated because the activation server can not be reached. try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it or try again in a couple of minutes" i've tried connecting to itunes and nothing works! i'd really like to use my phone today.

    Unfortunately, you might have to wait a little bit.  I know how you feel.  I can't live without my phone either.  The activation servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today.

  • I recently updated my ipod to ios8 and now it won't turn on !please help me!!!!!!!!

    I seriously need my ipod to work but since I downloaded ios8 a day ago it won't turn back on.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I deleted something and now cant open itunes

    I dunno what I did, My computer has been experiencing what I believe are hacker symptums, I may have deleted something required to open itunes, cause that wont open. The files on the desktop used to have text under them, now its squeezed too small to see and stretched. Files dont open and say"Content" instead of having any of the original files in them, and I believe that my computer says that I am a part of a network when I never advised this. The network folder is empty... But mostly I am confused, and irritated. Love the Apple products, happy with it... Just confused.
    I ran "Repair Permissions" the only thing that came up was "unable to repair permissions in SIUD file." Please help IFeelDuM DuM DuM.
    Thanks, and keep them Apples growing and I will keep picking them. [snicker]

    Paulietang do you know what files were deleted?  Which Adobe software or service gives you the error?  Have you tried removing and reinstalling the application?

  • Keyboard non-functioning - may have deleted something essential!

    Help! My keyboard has stopped working. Inexplicably, the mouse is fine, but nothing comes up when I type. I suspect that I may have deleted something essential.
    I was ruthlessly deleting things off my hard drive in an attempt to make iMovie and iDVD work properly - getting rid of unused printer drivers, etc. - and I'm afraid I might have deleted something I shouldn't have. Everything worked fine until I tried to type a title into iDVD, at which point the program promptly shut down. I double-clicked the Keyboard and Mouse control panel, and the system folder promptly closed (I could open the other control panels without issue). I tried to do a restart in safe mode, and the shift key seemed to work to get that going, but I couldn't type in my password in the log-in screen!
    I assume I will have to reinstall system software (which will do away with all that nice free space I created), but how do I do that when the CD-eject button is on the keyboard and I can't type my password?
    I will appreciate any help!!
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.1)   7.01 gig free hard disk space

    hi there-
    if the shift key seemed to work to get into safe mode, but wouldn't work once logged in, the keyboard should work to boot to the install disk. simply put in the install disk number one (make sure it is for the current operating system) and hold down the c during startup. do disk repair beforehand, and make sure it fixes all errors, before attempting to reinstall. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 once you proceed in the installer, make sure you select the macintosh hd as the destination, then choose archive and install, preserving users and network settings. complete instructions are in this article. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120 good luck to you.

    I just updated my pages and now it won't load. This is on my iPad. The first version which has the latest version it can have 5.1 or something like that. I am trying to open a document and am worried that if I uninstall and reinstall I will lose all my documents

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • I downloaded an app called 'Cinema but instead of promised movies got trailers. Then I deleted it etc A dvised on help page and now it won't reinstall any ideas? Have contacted itunes x 2 but no response and unable to contact app developers.

    I bought an app from itunes called 'Cinema' It promised loads of movies but all I got was trailers. No way to contact the developers of the app. So I followed the 'Support' advice and deleted etc and now it won't reinstall. there is no install button next to it!. It was only £6.99 so not a fortune but I'm wary of trying any others now. Where did I go wrong and how do I put it right?

    Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

  • Rebuilding library and now iphoto won't open

    We recently upgraded to Lion and now iphoto won't work. I'm trying to rebuild my library but I can't even get iphoto to open now. Has anyone else had issues using iphoto after upgrading to Lion?

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library.  If you can't then give this a try:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    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. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
