I opened iPhoto to find all of my albums and pictures gone.

None of the rebuild options discussed in other forums have brought the pictures back. Earlier today, my computer experienced a kernel panic. Would that have deleted all of my pictures? I don't know a lot of technical stuff about how my Mac works. I just really need my pictures back! I don't understand how they can just disappear. They aren't in my trash or anything. I had opened Skype and tried to change my profile picture and it asked me something about a "new iPhoto library." Did I click something wrong?

The only way is to tap the screen as if you were entering the passcode, there is no secret way around this. Try plugging it in to your computer and see if it will let you import the photos, if not then you may want to look at trying some data recovery software.

  • When I opened iphoto this morning all my photos since April 2013 are gone. My desktop picture is still current but I can't find my pictures.

    When I opened iphoto this morning all my photos since April 2013 are gone. My desktop picture is still current but I can't find my pictures.

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
    iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
    File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
    or
    Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
    menu option to rebuild the library. Select the checkbox to include orphaned photos.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Opened iPhoto 9.6 in Yosemite 10.0 and had to update my library.  Updated but now I don't see my photos.  Trying not to panic.

    Saying there are no photos in my library.  Should be over 13,000.  Went through update iPhoto requested upon start up.  Had a message box at beginning saying there was an issue with permissions which needs to be fixed.  Chose to fix and then update proceeded.  After a while iPhoto finished but if I click on Photos, Events, etc. in the library it is saying No photos in top right side of screen. 

    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.

    Hi Larry,
    When I open the Bonusprint software there is a window on the side with 'LIBRARIES' at the top and I can access my photos and albums from here.  I can still see all my photos in the various albums etc., underneath and when I click on them they open as thumbnails underneath but iPhoto itself is still paralysed even after I quit the Bonusprint software.

  • Query to find all the view name and their size in GB

    Hi,
    What is the query to find all the view name and their size in GB.I am aware of joining all_views and user_segments but this is not serving the purpose.is there any table i need to join to get the desired result
    Thanks

    You could of course be thinking of views as they are stored in other RDBMS' as some of them actually create the view as a table on the database with a copy of the data in it and maintain that data as the base tables are updated.
    As already mentioned, Oracle just stores the SQL of the View and executes that SQL when the view is queried.
    Alternatively, Oracle also has "materialized views" which are created as snapshots of the data and will have a size. This data is updated (refreshed) based on the parameters used when creating the materialized view which means that it will either be, commonly, when a commit is issued or when a refresh is explicitly requested (refresh on demand).

  • In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photos in the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them to disk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doing wrong?

    In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photosin the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them todisk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doingwrong?

    When you sort the Album in iphoto are you sorting manually? Or by date of the photos?
    When you sort in the Finder how are are you sorting?
    Here's one way to do what you're trying to do:
    Create your Album and sort the pics as you want them. Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the Finder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • HT1766 itunes erased all of my apps and pictures and every thing i had how do i get it back?

    itunes erased all of my apps and pictures and everything I had ever had in it pictures from when my nephew was born and videos from when he started crawling and walking, how can I get them back?

    All of the photos and videos should have been imported to the computer as you would with digital camera photos/videos. In that case, they would be backed up to the computer and you could resync them if you wanted to. The camera roll is not intended to be a storage location since any problem with the phone could cause you to have to restore the phone and doing so risks you losing the photos as you have seen. If the phone was backed up while these photos were on it, you should be able to restore to that backup, however you would lose anything you have added since then.

  • HT1349 I have a sony Vaio (VGN-NS190J).  Recently, my I tunes library does not stay in I tunes upon shutting my computer down.  When I start the computer up and open I tunes, I have to have I tunes find all my music files and repopulate? help please

    Can somebody help......regarding the above question..... I have had I tunes on this computer for several years without a problem.  I do use webroot as an antivirus software.  I have Windows Vista operating system and I am using the latest version of Itunes available.  When ever I open Itunes, my music, books, ect, ect. files are always gone and I have to ask Itunes to find them on my computer almost every time I open Itunes.  This problem has been going on now for about the last 6 months.  Nothing else wrong with computer.  Another issue associated:  I can create a playlist one night, and the next day I open  Tune, it's gone.  I would really appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    It can be that the library path, or files, are corrupted. What happens if you set a different path to save the library?

  • Help, LR5 - FB can't find all existing FB albums

    When trying to make new collections to publish to facebook, LR5 is not showing all my Facebook albums in the existing albums section. I can publish with no troubles to the albums being shown and can make a new album with out trouble but can't seem to find a way to access my existing albums not being shown. My main user page for facebook has nearly 50 albums and LR5 is only showing me 21 pre-existing albums for this setting, but when I select Non-User pre-existing albums it shows me all of my albums between both my Facebook "Pages". The missing albums do not have different privacy settings and are not any newer to facebook than some being shown as well as they were all made pre LR5 being installed on my computer. Please help me find these missing albums. TIA

Thank you so much for any information. sincerely, debbie
