I-photo application is gone

I logged on to my computer today and I have no I-photo application. the icon is still present at the bottom of the screen but nothing opens. I used finder to open applications and were I-photo used to be is now a blank space. When I looked in the picture file and clicked on the i-photo library a message came up that there was no default application to open the file. What happened? and does anyone know how to restore it. the only software that came with my computer is a copy of leopard, and 2 os-x install disks (version10.4.1) needless to say this is a bit troubling because I have a number of photos that I neglected to back up, stupid, stupid, stupid. I have looked in the trash and there was nothing there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It's on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac- not the Leopard disk. Just pop the first one into the Mac and opt to 'Install Bundled Applications Only'.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Only scanned photos are corrupted/gone

I've just discovered that most of the photos I've scanned into iPhoto have disappeared, although I still do see the lovely grey "corrupted" box where the pictures used to be. I've checked the Originals folder and the scanned photos are completely gone, not just corrupted. (I had noticed that the thumbnails for the most recently scanned photos starting about a month ago had a blank white line through them, but the line didn't appear when the photo is enlarged or printed.) All other non-scanned photos appear to be there.
Questions:
- Is this possibly a problem with the Lexmark printer/iPhoto? Photos used to scan well - no problems - until they disappeared. The ones that disappeared were 6 months - 2 years old.
- Will rebuilding the iPhoto library help in this case? Is it possible that the photos are still hiding somewhere and will be picked up again, even though I can't see them in the Originals folder?
Coincidentally, the same thing just happened to my parent's computer (version 10.3.8; I'm 10.4.8) which is what sent me looking for my photos. Did something happen in the last software update to mess things up?

Tiggle:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you at version 6.0.5 and, if so, did this start after upgrading to iPhoto 6.0.5? If so you may be experiencing the color profile problem, i.e no color profile or a damaged profile.
So try the following:
1 - download the "Embed sRGB Profile" Automator application from Toad's Cellar.
2 - locate one of the bad files in the iPhoto Library/Originals folder and drop onto the Automator workflow to embed the sRGB profile.
3 - check to see if that file is now viewable in iPhoto.
If that corrects the problem you can repeat the process for each file.
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, 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.

N85 Photos application broken

Seem to have posted this in the wrong forum, so here is the original post again:
-- BEGIN
Not sure whether it was fully working beforehand, but I can't remember having had any issues prior. Ok, what did I do? I transferred an entire library to my N85, like 1000+ pictures with extensive tagging. I then browsed my picture library and realized that the application seemed to start not hanging, but first, not displaying the pictures properly anymore (remained in the initial blurry state), and then only displayed the broken image logo (if you don't know what it is, I don't know how to better explain it) [Retrospective Note: I was deleting certain images while browsing, so I didn't just browse]. Trying to switch the phone off and back on didn't solve the issue, and most operations resulted in a "General: System Error"! Thinking I've added too many images to my phone, I've deleted the entire library again, and only added a few selected images, like 19 to be exact. But, the problem persists. I can't even look at these few images anymore. Sooner or later, I'll get the same symptoms. And operations on these images, like tagging, result in a "General: System Error"! What I've also realized, is that my phone memory, all of a sudden, is only like 24MB. Even though before it was like 58MB. And I have definitely not added anything to my phone memory. So, does anyone have any idea as to what has happened here, and how to fix it?
And yes, the rest of my phone seems to be working fine still, I can even select a slide-show as my wallpaper, select a few of these images, and these display all fine in the wallpaper.
One other thing to add (and I hope I'm not being too verbose, but I may add anything I've noticed just in case it may help with the diagnosis): After I had deleted my library again, the tags remained in the phone, and even though there were no more images on the phone, not all of the tags showed 0 images, some of the tags still showed images, though when clicking on the tag, no images were shown. So, did something maybe not clean up properly?
Any help with this would be much appreciated!!
-- END
I've tried a lot of things, inclusive of re-formatting the memory card, but all solutions seem to be only temporary. Here's one solution I've found that indeed temporarily fixes the problem:
1) Attach N85 with USB cable to computer in Mass storage mode.
2) Delete the following folder on the memory card: /private/101ffc31
That folder contains the file glxmdstn, which seems to be the thumbnail cache for the Photos application. Once this folder is removed, and the Photos application is started, it'll create all the thumbnails again from scratch, and then the Photos application seems to work in all its glory.
For a certain amount of time that is. I'm not sure what action exactly breaks it, for some time, I thought it was deleting an image, as I was able to actually reproduce it twice.
I've deleted the cache, played with it for quite some time, no drama, deleted an image, and within a short amount of time, the issue arose again. I've done the same thing again, and the exact same thing happened. Though that wasn't it. As I've then encountered the same problem, looking at images with particular tags.
Removed the cache again, even added another hundred pictures, and it's been working. Deleted a couple of images again, same problem. Deleted the cache again, now working. Have browsed images over and over, even from within the tag menu, and no drama so far, so I wasn't able to reproduce the issue by browsing by tags. Only deleting images seems to be a sure way to reproduce the issue so far (unless even that's a fluke). But something seems to be corrupting the thumbnail cache, somehow. And once corrupted, the photo application then doesn't seem to be able to deal with it anymore. Deleting the thumbnail cache works every time though. I'm trying to use it now without deleting any images, to see how long I can go without running into the same issue again.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. And no, I have no idea why half my available phone memory has suddenly disappeared on me, but the last time I remember it being 50+MB was before I moved my photo library over, but that may be completely unrelated at the end, unless tagging and album management is somehow stored on the phone? And yes, I've read about resetting the phone to factory defaults, though I'd rather not, and I'm currently not even sure it would fix anything, given removing the thumbnail cache seems to do the trick.
Thanks!

"What im trying to say is as long as you have all the activation codes for your Nokia Maps, N Gage games and any 3rd party apps re setting a handset is not so hard and does not take that much time."
That's right, it didn't take all that much time. What will take a lot of time though, as it seems, is to get all my N-Gage scores back. All my hard earned status and all that poker money --> GONE. My millions and millions of Asphat 4 dollars --> GONE. Even my pickup point score, as it seems --> GONE. What's more, my phone thought it would be clever to overwrite my profile settings in the arena with the empty default it had in my phone. That Photos app is better going to work from now on without any drama. If it turns out I did all that for nothing, I won't be happy, not the least bit, and I'll start cursing at Nokia just as some other people here seem to be doing.
In retrospect, a re-format of the phone memory is not a resolution anyone should have to resort to in the first place. But I guess I've learned something today.
Cheers!

My Zen Micro Photo 8gb has gone m

Hi all,?My Creative Zen micro Photo 8gb has gone a bit mad. It had a firmware update, and then wouldn't work. SO I hooked it up to the PC and nothing was happeneing. It tried to rebuild the library, but froze. So I followed tech suppourt, and formatted it, and lost all my music, and it wont do anything now. It gets to the Recovery Mde Screen, and does the following:?Clean Up: - Says it's cleaning up, but does nothing really. Format All: - Says formatting, and does so. Reload Firmware: NOW, here's the interesting one, I hook it up to download the firmware... AND the PC recognises it's plugged in, but the firmware application doesn't. Reboot: - Reboots straight into Recovery mode again!?Very frustrating. Can anyone help?Cheers

Mine too! It completely froze to Recovery mode, I can't even turn it off! I had to take off the batteries and when I open it, it's stuck in there. I had it replaced by Creative Labs. Btw, I commend their tech support. The email support is fast and very responsi've. A RMA was issued to me and they were able to replace it in a matter of days. Then my 2nd player (refurbished one,what I got back) was working for 7 days when it froze again. then it says rebuilding library or something..but it won't finish loading. It was stuck to that page, cannot turn off, had to take off batteries again. I did this 5 times, since it failed to reload the library. Afterwards, it displayed Hardware Failure.
Now, I'm currently waiting for their email feedback since I reported the problem again.
My advice, let them know. Hope you can work yours out.

Known bug. Quit the Camera App, double-tap the home key and delete Camera from the recent apps bar. Fire it up again, should be good.

Can I print a image larger than 4x6 directly from iPad's photo application to a HP Air Print printer without a additional app?

It depends upon the capabilities of your printer. If you have an HP printer with a photo tray then the Photo app will print to whatever size you load in to that tray.
There's some more information here:
Using AirPrint to Print Various Photo Sizes
With other printers the user is given a choice from the printer's loaded paper sizes. You can see an example of that here:

How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

The simplest way is to show the Sidebar at all times - you can reveal it with options-command-S ⌥⌘S.
With the sidebar visible, you can simply drag the photos from the Moments or other albums to the album in the sidebar. You can select and drag multiple photos at a time by selecting the first photo, holding down the shift key and selecting more photos. If the album does not yet exist, select the photos and press ⌘N for "File > New album" to create a new album with the selected photos.

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

Hello Bradley,
sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
But as much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations

Good luck!

IPhone 4 camera and photo application not working!!

My iphone 4 camera and photo applications do not work anymore. When I tried to take a picture, the camera froze. I turned off my phone and when i turned it back on, the app will load, but when i tap to take the picture it returns to the home screen. The picture library application does the same thing. I try to load my picture library and when I tap to open it, it returns to the home screen.
I have tried turning it off and on multiple times and also turned it off for an extended period of time and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions on what the problem could be or possible ways to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Tap Settings App>General>Reset, near bottom of list>Reset All Settings. If this does not help you could try a Restore with iTunes, and when asked at end Set Up as New. If this does not help and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

Photo application won't open anymore on my ipad

I have about 8gb of pictures on my 64gb ipad and been syncing it on the iphoto on my mac. Ive been doing that for quite sometime and working perfectly but after i used faces on my mac and synced it again, Photo application on my ipad wont open anymore. I tried to reset it soft and hard but nothing happens. I tried to erase all the pics except for the saved photos but it still wont open. I know the pics are saved in my ipad cause i can view it via other applications like photo chest but i cant open it via Photo Application. I am in desperate need pls. Thanks.

It's been a while since your post, but if you haven't gotten the issue fixed, you could try a restore from within itunes on your computer. This will replace the OS on the ipad and since the photo app is included in that, it may fix your problem.

Photos not shown in Photos-Application any more

Suddenly the pictures i have taken with the phone do not show up any more in the standard photos application.
It shows only one picture this month..... but they are still existing on phone memory.
Looks like the library information are corrupted.
Anybody having an idea how to restore? Can do that with music, but could not find it in photos-application ?

When working with pictures it is easy to find the library files.... i have deleted them all, and on restart they are automatically rebuild. But they do not include old pictures then... only the new ones. So unfortunately that does not help.
Also Nokia Support was not able to send any useful answer.
So it looks like the library was destroyes for any unknown reason... and then started to work normal again, but simply forgot all old pictures.
Pictures are still available.... but simply not in the list of the library.
It is a pitty that you can not rebuild the library, as you can with music.....

My photo stream has gone. How can i get it back?

my photo stream has gone and i cannot find a way to get it back, as a result i cannot view my icloud photos

Just try resyncing it from your iTunes library.
If it was not in your iTunes library when you did the update it is gone.

Over half of my photos on my photo stream are gone? I never deleted them. Is there a way to recover them?
