IPhoto'11 crashed and deleted all my photos

I've recently updated to iPhoto'11 as prompted. Last night I had just uploaded over 200 photos and now all I can see are black thumbnails with no photos, all the cover albums are of the same photos. When I opened up one of the album, it crashed then all of my photos are gone. How do I retrieve my photos and solve this crashing, once and for all?

  • IPhoto has crashed and lost all my photos

    I imported about 80 new photos earlier today and all was well. Later on I went to have a look at some of the new photos and iPhoto "unexpectedly quit". When it reopened I got a message saying "welcome to iPhoto" etc etc, basically it is as if it's reinstalled, but all my photos have vanished.
    I've had a look on my HD and the photos are all there and open perfectly well in Preview, but if I try to import them into iPhoto I get a message telling me they couldn't be imported because they may be an unrecognised file type (they're all normal jpgs) or they may not contain valid data (but other apps can read them).
    Help!! Anyone have any ideas?

    Fegster
    iPhoto won't import from the iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication.
    As you're database is corrupted your choices are limited. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library Folder allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards

  • Iphoto 9.5.3 deleted all my photos

    iphoto 9.5.3 deleted all my photos today and I can't find them anywhere on the hard drive

    You may have accidentally booted into Safe Mode (Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?).  This can happen occasionally, when you turn on a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, while the Mac is starting up. In Safe Mode all non-standard system extensions and start-up items will be disabled. Advanced options of the graphic card will not be available, and iPhoto will be much slower. That would explain the slowness you are seeing.
    Restart your Mac, and make sure, that all Bluetooth devices are turned on, before you restart.
    Disconnect any backup drives or volumes, that might contain bootable partitions, before you restart, to be sure you restart from your main system drive.
    oh and before I forget, the file size of iphoto in the application folder is 1.7 GB !!!
    That is the current size of iPhoto 9.5.1. That is perfectly o.k.
    But how large is your iPhoto Library in the Pictures folder? Do you keep your iPhoto library in the default partition in Pictures?

  • Iphoto wont start and deleted all of my photos. can i uninstall and reinstall iPhoto?

    can i uninstall and reinstall my iphoto and will it fix the problem that i have with not being able to import and look at photos?

    Of course you can uninstall and reinstall iPhoto - but it Probably will not help at all
    But that is only a wild guess since no one has any idea what you have or what your problem is
    Lets start with really simple basics - what version of iPhoto do you have? what recently changed or happened that might be related to this? What exactly does "won't start" mean?  Why do you "think" iPhoto deleted all of your photos?
    Do you have a good current backup? Note that iPhoto does not "delete" photos - users can but iPhoto does not
    You sate numourour problems - please describe each and be concise without editorial comments
    1 - iPhoto won't start
    2 - iPhoto delete all of your photos
    3 - iPhoto will not import photos
    4 - iPhoto will not let you look at photos

  • Iphone4 crashed and deleted all apps

    i have a 2 month old iphone 4 with the latest software update. last night i installed the app "Canon Cadets", during the install it crashed/rebooted the phone, when it rebooted, all my apps (apart from the default iphone apps) were deleted. i tried rebooting the phone a few times and they did not reappear.
    i hadnt sync'd it with itunes before the crash.
    i tried syncing it today and of course it couldnt retrieve my lost apps. but it was saying in itunes that i have 2.6GB of "other" data space taken up (so i reckon all my apps and saved data is still in the phone, but not showing up)
    i have installed many many apps before and never had this happen.
    today i tried to install a paid app, and luckily the itunes store remembered i had previously bought it, so it let me download it again for free. i then spent a while remembering all my paid apps and installed them all again for free.
    now i have all the apps again, but it has lost all my gamesave data from everything, although the BSkyB app had remembered my account details when i reinstalled it!
    i am a bit annoyed that i lost all my angry birds gamesaves, i had 3 stars on all levels and all golden eggs.
    also itunes is now showing that i have 3.61GB of "other" data on the phone (i.e. apps) but i know i have only 1GB worth on the phone - so there is 2.6GB of app data still on the phone somewhere but its not showing it (and it means i now have 2.6GB of wasted space thats gone into oblivion)
    is there any way of retrieving the lost gamesaves, and clearing off this 2.6GB of wasted space?
    the phone is on a UK vodafone contract and only 2 months old.

    Same here and it is ******* me off. I was in the middle of playing we farm and then it crashed and when it showed me my home screen I noticed all my apps were gone. Here I am trying to figure out what the **** happened so I rebooted and turned the phone off but nothing.
    I then synced it iTunes and only one app was reinstalled but the rest remained "hidden."
    As you mentioned, I also see that I have 4.1GB of other data on my phone and know that it is the missing apps. Problem is how do I get it all back?
    Using phoneDisk, I went into the iphone's root folders and tried to locate these apps. I found them and notice that all but one was marked with a censored image or an error image. Tried to open them but my mac could not, it opened the native and one app just fine (using xcode and iPhone dev kit) but rest were treated as foreign extensions.
    I have many backups since I like to have at least monthly backups but I am still concerned with the "other space." If I were to use an old back up to restore my phone would the space taken by other still remain?
    This is a first in my 2 iphones I ever owned, lost lots of data and I don't know what directly caused it.

  • New library has been created and deleted all old photos

    After the update I was asked something about creating a new library, then there was a countdown and the iphoto app is now empty of all photos.
    I have checked whether it has just created a new library but it hasn't, I also cannot find my iphoto library anywhere not Macbook.  Photos from over four years have simply vanish ... please help!!!

    No, there is absolutely no sign of them!
    do you know what the string would be to do a search i.e. ; .jpg or .doc etc...

  • Group text crash and deleted all messages!

    I've been using group text for a while and it had been great then it crashed.

    Ok, yes. Like I had said a couple minutes ago, I think this is beyond my expertise. I recommend you call Apple next.

    I apologize I was unable to help resolve your issue. Good luck though.

    I have a iPhone 5.  In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera.  I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail.   Both iTunes  and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it.  What is going on?

    Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

    Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

  • I deleted all my photos on iphoto and want to restore them back

    I deleted all my photos on iphoto library and then i deleted it in trash too and now I want to retrieve all those photos back! Is it possible?

    Well that's a lesson learned.
    File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • How can I import all photos from iPhoto and delete all the ones currently on my iPad?

    I uploaded all of my iPad's photos to iPhoto('08) thinking it would be easier to delete and organize them. Now that I've done that in iPhoto I need help finding out how to delete all the photos from the iPad and have the iPhoto photos imported from iPhoto back to the iPad.

    This workflow may do what you want:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.
    2 - connect the iPad to your Mac with the new library open.
    3 - import all of the photos from the iPad into the new library.
    4 - select the option to delete all of the photos from the iPad.
    5 - disconnect the iPad and delete the new library.
    6 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select your original library.
    7 - assemble the photos destined for the iPad so you can easily identify them by album or event which you alread have done.
    8 - launch iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac.
    9 - go to the photos section for you iPad and synce those particular albums or Events with the iPad.
    That will get those specific iPad photos back into the iPad.

  • I did something stupid, and lost all my photos in iPhoto

    So, I thought I was in a specific Album with 5 photos in it I wanted to remove from iPhoto. I hit Apple-A to select all and hit delete. It wasn't until a moment later that I realized I must have actually been in my Library, and removed ALL my photos from iPhoto.
    Now, all the Albums still appear in the left of iPhoto (6.0, BTW), but when I click on the albums, no photos appear. I went through my hard drives and dragged the appropriate photos back to their original Albums to reimport them into iPhoto. This worked fine with old photos I had organized BEFORE I switched to importing everything in iPhoto.
    When I try to import those newer photos, the ones imported through iPhoto over the past couple of years, I keep getting the following error: "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)." The files are fine...I'm just trying to import them from their organized roll folder in the iPhoto folder under Photos. Sometimes, I will also get an error that says the file is "already in the iPhoto library."
    Is there some kind of preference or something I need to delete so I can reimport these photos from the iPhoto folder into iPhoto again?

    EditThis:
    If you did not empty the iPhoto Trash via the iPhoto menu the photos will still be in the iPhoto trash container in the Source pane. Click on the trash icon, select all of the photos and drag to the Library icon at the top of the Source pane. They will be returned to their rolls and albums.
    The reason you're getting that message is you're trying to import photos that are within the iPhoto Library folder. That can't be done.
    Do you Twango?
