IPhoto 6:Library: Pics missing in Library Folder, although visible in album

Hi. I have my iPhoto Library on an external harddisk drive. Without having tampered with the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder, the Library Folder (in iPhoto) does not show all of my recent Pictures, although they are organized - and visible! - in albums and folders.
Also the search function does not find all pictures younger than July '06, but the pictures (in the albums) are clearly tagged August '06 to Feb '07.
In the Finder, all photos are present in the "Originals" resp. "Modified".
So the files are definitely not lost, but not organizable in iPhoto.
Rebuilding my iPhoto Library was useless, same result.
Any chance to get my Library working nicely again? Thanks for answers!

I'm afraid this sounds like a corrupted library file - especially as the search won't work. Do you have a current backup? If so, copy the library6.iphoto file from the backup to the iPhoto Library Folder (allow it to overwrite the existing one) and re-start iPhoto.
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.

  • New iPhoto 6 Library/Folder Structure - Driving us nuts!

    All of our photos were previously stored in iPhoto 5 in folders listed by year, month then day. This was perfect for us as we take multiple photos on one card on differant dates and made for easy tracking/finding. On upgrading to iPhoto 6 we now have the following:
    Originals - Okay the folder name makes sense but they are stored by year and the a roll number, no month no day.
    Modified - Again folder name makes sense (photos that were modified from original) but the same lame date/roll number filing
    iPhoto Cache - Not sure what this is for (temp storage?). When and should it be cleaned out, like internet cache?
    Data - Not sure what this folder is for, but has many of the same images as other folders. Same issue with they structure (year/roll)
    Also 10 other files which I am sure are for library database etc.
    We then have 3 addtional folders with year (2004, 05 and 06) with the structure of (year/month/day). Why are these outside of Originals? How did they maintain the preferred file structure.
    Can we get back to the year/month/date file structure? In addtion, some of the dates of photos are whacked out. Trip to Oregon in 2004 is listed as 1999. I didn't even have a digitial camera then. Others of the same trip are in 2004.
    Help...

    restuart:
    Isn't the cache folder titled "iPod Photo Cache"? It has to do with adding photos to an iPod. Even if you don't sync photos to an ipod there'll be that folder if you've ever connected an iPod.
    The Data folder contains the thumbnail files for each photo.
    Regarding the year folder with the old structure, I believe it's like our appendix, no longer needed. I had a 2005 folder with just photo in it. I moved it to the desktop and opened iPhoto, went to the roll that had that picture in and it was there and useable. I've since trashed that 2005 folder. Give it a try. and see if there's any problems with removing it. Make a backup of the library folder beforehand just in case.
    There is some sort of bug with the roll dates. When you import an old folder of files it uses one of the modified dates instead of the captured date on many of the rolls. I haven't figured out how it determines which date on which photo to use. It's easy to change the date of the roll so it is located in the proper chronological position among the other rolls.
    The current folder structure is a result of many requests to get iPhoto in line with other more professional image management applications. iPhoto's new capability of being able to use alias files instead of copying the entire file into it's new folder system allows it to be able to use soruce image files that are on another HD/CD /DVD and if the source files are not mounted iPhoto can still see the thumbnails, make and manipulate albums but cannot edit or work with books, slideshow or calendars. Once the photos come back on line iPhoto can use them again. This way users can develop their own folder/cataloging system and iPhoto will construct it's library in accordance with it.

  • Setting the iPhoto Default Library Folder

    I'm sure there is a simple answer to this question, but I can't find it. Can the physical location of the default library folder be changed to an external hard drive?

    Hi Howard,
    sure can!
    Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to a Mac formatted external drive.
    Launch iPhoto while holding down the Option key.
    At the prompt, choose to open another library.
    Navigate to the library on the external and highlight it.
    Hit the "open" button
    iPhoto will open the library on the external and from now on will use this library to import images too. This will now be your working library. Make sure everything is working correctly and everything is fine in the library.
    You can then delete the library on the internal if you wish.

  • I backed up 6000  photos from Snow Leopard iMac v.10.6 to new Western Digital External Engine "My Book." In attempting to COPY the pictures to My Book in order to free space on HD, I made a mistake. When I first dragged the iPhoto 11 Library folder to My

    I backed up 6000+ photos from Snow Leopard iMac v.10.6.7 to new Western Digital "My book" successfully, I think! But when I attempted to COPY my photos to it in order to free up space on my HD, I made a mistake. When I dragged the iPhoto (11) Library to My Book and re-named it to "iPhoto Library.old" nothing happened. So I dragged it again, re-named it again (same name--that was the mistake, I guess!) and then it took about an hour+ to do its thing. When finished and I launched iPhoto by holding down the Option key, the dialog window listed two libraries: "iPhoto Library.old" and iPhoto Library.old (default)". So now what? It seems that I still have the originals when I open iPhoto, and do I have two copies, also? Should I delete one of them and if so, which one and how? Or should I eliminate both of them and start over again? And if so, how do I do that? Right now, neither my HD nor the My Book have changed the number of GB available or free since before I began this process. Will the numbers only change after I actually delete my original Library AND empty the Trash? I appreciate any light you can throw on this subject for me. I could lug it all to the local Genius Bar, but now I'm afraid to unplug anything for fear I'll lose everything! Thank you, you wonderful, bright people. (An 83-year-old Grandma, trying to keep up a little, at least)

    Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but  maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
    But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
    Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
    Thank you so much for  beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message  that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
    So your kindness is very much appreciated.

  • Creating A New Library Folder or Another Photo Album...

    Can anyone explain how I can create another Photo Album on my iPhone to go with the Camera Roll & Photo Library?
    I would like to create a Folder that would be specific to certain photographs on the phone so I don't have to look through the entire library.
    Thanks In Advance!
    David

    You don't create the folders on the iPhone. You do that through iTunes and syncing the files.

  • Moving iphoto 6 library to imac 5k

    Please let me know how to move/import the iPhoto 6 photo library to imac 5K?
    thanks,

    First you DON'T ever import a library into another library.  That's a big no-no.
    Here's what you need to do:
    1 - connect the two Macs together and copy the iPhoto 6 library folder to the Pictures folder of the new iMac.
    2 - download to the new iMac the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1.  It will be located in your Applications/Utilities folder.
    3 - go to the Applications/Utilities folder, double click on the upgrade app and apply it to the library folder you copied over.
    4 - launch iPhoto 9.6 and open the library.
    If you don't have iPhoto 9.6 on the new iMac go to the App Store to download and install it.

  • Apple Updates Make Library Folder Invisible to Photoshop

    Can anyone tell me how to make my library folder visible to Photoshop CS5.1 Extended? My fonts have been missing ever since I ran an update the os x 10.75 update on my mac. Adobe help said that with the updates, apple made the library folder invisible to photoshop. i tried their suggestion to go to terminal and type a command to make the library folder permanently visible, but that didn't solve the problem.

    You've gotten misinformation, so you're confused.  Not your fault at all.
    The ROOT LEVEL Library is not hidden in 10.7.5 at all.  It's right there where it has always been, at the Root Level, i.e. at the same level where your Applications, Systems and Users folders have always been.
    That's the Library where your fonts belong, in a sub-folder labeled Fonts.
    What is hidden is the User Library, and it is hidden for a very good reason:  you have no business messing with that Library.  Fonts do not belong there at all.  Apple made it hidden precisely because they don't want you to find it.  And it has nothing to do with any updates, it has been there since Lion 10.7.0 beta, not available to the general public.
    There is of course a way to access it, and no Terminal hokus pokus is involved at at all.  It's right under the GO menu in the Finder > Go to Folder…, you just need to know exactly what path to type there to get to the Library.
    I won't tell you because you really have no business going there in the first place, especially at your level of knowledge of the Mac OS X.
    Adobe help said that with the updates, apple made the library folder invisible to photoshop
    Ah, you just happened to talk to a complete, ignorant idiot, of which there are untold numbers manning the outsourced customer service and tech support call centers in India.
    Even the hidden User Library is visible to all applications.  What you were told is utter nonsense.  Apple wanted to keep clueless users out, not applications.  Good Grief!
    Now tell us what fonts you're talking about specifically, where you put them and how you manage your fonts.
    Hope I will have regained a measure of composure by the time you get back to us with detailed information about your system and your computer maintenance practices.
    Make sure your Photoshop installation is updated to CS5.1 vers. 12.1.

  • What is causing ~/Library to become visible?

    At some point after Lion system updates, my ~/Library folder becomes visible again, in seemingly spontaneous fashion. If I make it invisible, it will become visible yet again. What could be causing this? Has anyone else seen this?

    Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    ls -@Odl Library
    Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered – the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • Albums folder in iPhoto Library folder missing

    The Albums folder in iPhoto Library folder missing. This means when I try to sync photos to my iPod (video) in iTunes, none of my photo albums show up (though I can seclect a specific folder useing year, month day, etc.). It also mens that I must navagate through the date folders to find photos when trying to attach them to e-mails.
    I am running a G5 with the latest version of OSX, iPhoto, iTunes.
    How do I recreat this folder?
    Thankd for any help.
    Cheers__ Heath

    Hi Heath,
    iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
    If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
    There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
    Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
    If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
    For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
    You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
    This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
    In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
    Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
    Do this for each album.
    Close iPhoto.
    Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
    In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
    Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
    Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
    Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
    I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
    One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    Also, when you choose a folder to sync for your iPod, choose iPhoto in the drop down menu in iTunes, then choose the Album you want to sync. Do not choose a folder on your hard drive and then the Albums folder in the iPhoto Library folder.

  • IPhoto Library folder "Missing" in 08 version???

    So, I'm using the new "Sharing" feature in Leopard's Finder to share files between my iMac and my MacBook over my wireless network. This seems to be working fine for my documents and even my iTunes music. My only problem is I can't locate the iPhoto Library folder so I can share pictures. Didn't iPhoto 6 have a library folder that you could access your originals and modified pictures? Are we supposed to rely on the sharing feature in iPhoto? If so, that stinks because iPhoto would have to be open on both machines.
    Much appreciate any insight anyone can give.

    Are we supposed to rely on the sharing feature in iPhoto?
    Yes.
    Maybe something here might help:
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

  • I recently rebuilt my iphoto 09 library and now all the pics are in one folder instead of events.  How do I get 20,000 pics back into the correct events?

    I recently rebuilt my iphoto 09 library and now all the pics are in one folder instead of events.  How do I get 20,000 pics back into the correct events?
    I have a macbook pro Version 8.1.2 and I am using Iphoto 09
    I rebuilt library because many pics were black and now they are in one folder labeled "Recovered"

    Do you have the original iPhoto Library (before you rebuilt it)?
    If so, I suggest you rebuild it using iPhoto Library Manager, a program you can download. It does a better job of rebuilding. It also leaves your original intact and makes the rebuilt Library a new file (package).
    If you don't have the original (say, from a backup), then you should probably first back up the library that you have before trying anything.
    After making a backup of it, look along the left side, you will see Events and Photos. Is there anything in either of those areas?
    If not, it sounds like all your photos were recovered and put in Recovered during the rebuild. iPhoto Library Manager might do a better job with this. In any case, if there are no photos in Events or in Photos, try selecting ~ 5 photos in Recovered and drag them to Photos. Do they then show up there with the correct dates? Do they also show up in Events after doing that? I am suggesting just a few photos before you try it with 20,000.
    If the photos inside your "recovered" area are also in Photos, then don't do the above steps. I'm not sure I can help you if your 20,000 photos are in Photos but not Events. I'd try iPhoto Library Manager instead with its better rebuild.
    If the 5 photos experiment works, then I would try it with ~ 200 photos at a time, going through your entire collection. You'll need to do this about 10 times if you really have 20,000 photos. Remember, don't do this if the "recovered" photos are already in "Photos."

  • My iphoto library folder with files of my pictures is missing from the pictures folder, only the application icon remains.  I have read through similar discussions but have not managed to fix the problem with the recommended solutions.  Can anyone help?

    I have a Macbook Pro with iphoto '08 running on Mac OS X version 10.5.8.  I used to be able to go to my pictures folder on my HD and access my pictures via that iphoto library folder.  There used to be a small arrow next to the iphoto icon with all the albums then listed within the folder (to the right).  That arrow is now gone and all I have is the iphoto application icon which just reopens iphoto when I click on it, but I want to be able to access the data files.  Somehow I do have files btwn 2008 and 2009 but it hasn't created these since then...Could someone please help me to restore this ability?  I have read other similar posts but they seem to be related to lost data all together and I do luckily have all my pictures in iphoto still. I just can't access them in the pictures folder which means I can't access them on my external hard drive.  I am now out of start up disc space somehow so I figured I had to delete some albums (I have 12,090 pictures) and do have them backed up but want to make sure I can go back for them when I need them.  I did export all the pictures to a folder on the hard drive but it is all 12,090 in one long list with only numbers as names and not in any order, this will be a nightmare to access later!  Please help!  Thank you!

    You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    That indicates that that is your library.  Put it in your Pictures folder if it already isn't there and make sure it's named "iPhoto Library".  It should look like this:
    Now launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select that library to open.  If you get that same message close iPhoto and try the following;
    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.

  • My iPhoto Library folder is missing.

    My iPhoto Library folding is no longer a folder but a single picture Itried saving from email.  I can't find any of my photos that were saved in this folder.  When openning iPhoto it asks "What photo library do you want iPhoto to use?"  Does anyone know if my photos are retreivable?

    Given so little informatin my uges is that you tried to save the photo into the iPhoto library (which is not the way you do it) and when ask if you wanted to replace the same names item you said yes and thereby deleted your iPhoto library  --  Any memory of any of this?
    If my wild guess is correct then your choice is to reload your library from your backup or use data recover software or a data receovery service

  • IMovie won't open and Library Folder is missing in Finder

    A few days ago, I downloaded the recent iMovie program.  I even used it to make a video.  Today I wanted to make another one but iMovie won't open at all.  The wheel just spins and spins and nothing opens.  So, I went into Finder and noticed my Library folder was missing.  How did that happen?  Is that why iMovie won't open?
    I searched the Discussion Forums and saw how to find the Library folder in Lion.  (Press Option and hit the Go button in the menu bar.)  But, I have Maverick.  I tried this anyway but I have no idea what/where the Go button is.
    How do I find, or replace if necessary, my Library folder and get iMovie to open?  I have a mid-2007 iMac that's been upgraded from Snow Leopard, so I don't want to put the Install Disk in and lose everything.   Help?

    Thanks.  Sorry for the confusion with the Library Folder.  It's just been a long day all around.
    Memory  4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    I know it's older but it's never caused me a day's trouble since I've owned it.  I hate to replace it until the next upgrade.
    ETA:  I just opened the Activity Monitor in Utilities and it says, out of 4GB of Memory, that 3.88GB are Used.   I don't understand this because I have very, very few things loaded onto my iMac at all.  I've always had tons of memory left.  I don't have any music on my PC at all.  No movies, either.  My dock only has Finder, Launchpad, Dashboard, Safari, Firefox, TextEdit and System Preferences.
    Here's a report from my Activity Monitor.  Any suggestions?  I have no idea what some of these things are, like: CalendarAgent (I don't use calendar at all),

  • I have an external hard drive connected to my iMac 2006; the OS on this iMac has been upgraded.  I wanted to have back up copies of all our photos on iPhoto; I moved the iPhoto Library folder to the EHD.  Now I want to delete a lot of the photos on the iM

    I want to delete the photos on the iMac's hard drive but I want all the copies on the EHD; to free up space on the iMac.  I experimented by deleting one photo in the iPhoto library on iMac but when I checked the EHD, it was deleted there, too.  How can I delete photos from iMac w/out deleting from EHD?

    Photo Library icon that sits on my desktop
    Do a Get Info in the Finder on that, is it an Alias pointing to the external drive?
    Open the iPhoto Library folder on your actual internal drive in the Finder, is that deleed pic stil there?
