I was importing photos to picasa from iphoto and it shut down when i returned i had no photos in iphoto

i was importing photos to picasa from iphoto, and it shut down when doing so.  when i restarted i photo, all of my photos were gone.  where are they??  please help??

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
3 - reboot, 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 the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
Fix #3
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.

  • My power mac g4 was working fine i hit a key and it shut down and now it has the symble of the firewire slot floting around the screen and i can not get it to start back up

    my power mac g4 was working fine i hit a key and it shut down and know it has a symble floting around the screen like the firewirs symble and ot wont turn back on how do i fix it

    It does sound like the T key is stuck.
    One way to test to see if the keyboard is at fault is to disconnect the keyboard, then start up the Mac.
    Note - on that model, you can force a shutdown by holding in the power button (the one on the front panel of the machine) for 8 to 10 seconds.
    You can also force a restart by pressing the small convex (bulges out slightly) button under the power button on the front panel (it's the one on the left).

    Many thanks. If you're still not launching after your complete uninstall/reinstall, we'll go searching for old QuickTime componentry stashed in non-standard locations on the PC.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Iphoto keeps shutting down when making a book

    Iphoto just keeps shutting down when I am trying to make a book. Every time it shuts down, it erases most of the content of my book. Help!

    birdiemac:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where in the process does it shut down? When you try to drag a photo into the book or into a page?
    If it's when trying to add a photo, can you edit that photo without crashing and do you use Photoshop Elements or Photoshop for any of your editing?
    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

    I am the proud owner of an I Pod Nano (8GB version).

  • My iphoto shuts down when i try to import photos  from iphone?

    my iphoto shuts down when i try to import or look at pictures. What to do?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

  • IPhoto shuts down when importing pictures

    For an unknown reason, iPhoto suddenly shuts down when I try to import pictures. I have been using this camera for over two years, so that can't be the problem. I have tried to restart my laptop, but nothing seems to help. Please help, need to mail pictures (that are still on my camera..) to some clients asap...

    Is the error you're getting in the permissions repair or disk verify/repair? If it's the latter then boot into your system install disk, and in the first window after the language selection go to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility. Then repair the disk and repeat until it reports no repairs were made. Then repair disk permissions again. Boot back into your PB.
    I'd also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. This will definitely force set the access on your library folder and its contents to your complete access. That may help. It's helped others.
    Yes. It's possible to reinstall 6.0. If you do, move the iPhoto_602.pkg from your HD/Library/Receipts folder to the desktop. Then delete any other receipt files with iPhoto in the name. That iPhoto_602.pkg file is the 6.0.2 updater if you want to update to that version. Also delete the current application and then run the installer.

    any help will be appreciated!
    thank you, angela

    First 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.
