IPhoto 6 not reading old iPhoto library - Old Toad?
Hi folks, been reading the discussions but couldn't see this one answered, hope you can help!
I recently updated to OS 10.4.9 (from 10.3.9), taking the opportunity to format my Powerbook and install new versions of my applications. Naturally I backed up my user folder on an external HD.
After installing iPhoto 6.0.6, I dragged the contents of my Pictures folder back, including my iPhoto library from the old version of iPhoto (was it 4 or 5? - either way I believe the new directory structure differs, and may be part of my problem).
When I open iPhoto, there are no photos. I suspect they're there somewhere, but there's no Originals folder to be seen.
The contents of the folder are listed below FYI - and there are 'no entry' signs over all the year folders & the Albums folder (maybe insignificant but new to me as a X.4.9 newbie).
I've tried directing iPhoto to the old library but sense it needs to be imported or converted somehow...? Has it put a new library there next to the old one?
What makes me nervous is the external HD has failed and I've lost the backup... that's why I haven't tried any intervention yet.
Please help! I hope I haven't lost all my memories!

Do you have an original backup copy of your iPHoto Library folder? One that you haven't tried to update at all?
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 (requires Tiger), 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.

IPhoto '08 not reading the right library?? Help!
When I open iPhoto and click on the "Photos" list in the left column, it says my library only has 117 photos with a file size of 175MB, however, I know for a fact I had over 1000 pictures in my library before something (that is the problem) happened.
Also, when I go to the "Pictures" folder in finder and I 'get info' on my iPhoto Library, it has a file size of 3.09GB. So I know all of my photos are there somewhere???
Why isn't iPhoto recognizing ALL of my library? Is there something I need to switch for a directory or something???
Please help!
Thanks in advance....Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Sounds like a damaged database file.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. 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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders 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 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.

Mac Mini not reading old pc ext hard drive
Have a five year old external hard drive from a previous PC. I connect it to my Mac Mini and the device listing shows it is there, but the letters are not black. They are light grey and i am unable to open the drive when i click on the listing.
Sounds like it is not mounted properly, damaged or perhaps is protected by some sort of windows encryption.
Open Disk Utility and see if you select the drive in the list of drives and then mount it using the blue Mount button. If not then disconnect the drive, restart the Mac Mini and reconnect the External Drive.
Now if it is still not mounting and/or you are unable to manually mount it using Disk Utility, it is either damaged and needs repairs or unencrypting using a windows computer. Of course I could be totally wrong about the windows encryption thing, because I don't use them all that much. -
My iMac (late 2009) is reading some CDs but not others. I put in the CD, it holds on to it for 30 seconds, then spits out without ever showing up on the desktop. The only difference I can tell between the ones it does read and the ones it doesn't is the age, the old ones it is having problems with (i.e. made in the 90s), the newer ones (maybe roughly 2000 and on) is fine. My work computer can read them fine. Any idea what's up?
Another help source (if you haven't already done so).
Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd
Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.
You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.
At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.
This will bring up the Help Menu.

Network users can not read Applications or Library
Not sure exactly where to post this but I think the server section will have more expertise than the desktop section.
We have 10.5.4 clients authenticating against a 10.4 Open Directory master. Prior to upgrading the clients to 10.5.5 everything was working fine. After upgrading the clients network users could no longer read the Applications or Library folders. When logging in all the icons in the dock would be replaced with the generic application icon and when trying to launch one the system reports the application could not be opened because it may be damaged or incomplete.
Viewing the iMac hard drive in a Finder window the Applications and Library folders have the do not enter sign on them. Viewing Sharing & Permissions under the Get Info window as the local admin user shows Read & Write for system and admin and Read only for everyone. This looks correct.
An `ls -l` on the root directory in Terminal as a network user reports that Applications and Library do not exist (no such file or directory). When running `ls -l` as the local admin the two folders appear and have a + sign after their permission strings which indicates extended security attributes (an ACL). I cannot find a command line tool to display or manipulate ACLs (such as getfacl and setfacl in Solaris) other than fsaclctl which enables and disables ACLs for an entire filesystem.
I disabled ACLs for the root fileystem (sudo fsaclctl -p / -d) and then network users could read the Applications and Library folders without problem. So there must be something in the ACL for those two folders that is restricting network users.
One other thing I noticed was that I tried to add a network user to Sharing & Permissions under the Get Info window, I could search for network users in the pop-up window but they would not get added to the list when I clicked select. So perhaps the problem is not with the ACL on Applications and Library but with 10.5.5 somehow not recognizing network users.
Installing Security Update 2008-007 does not resolve the issue. In fact it re-eanbles ACLs and they have to be disabled again in order for network users to work properly.I eventually managed to fix it again - don't know exactly what broke it and what resulted in a fix.
Check what groups your network users are in, in a terminal enter the command:
groups <username>
My machine was only reporting the primary group of the user - none of the secondary groups were listed. This machine has a Open Directory custom mapping to force local home folders (a special case, we generally use NFS homes), and when I removed and re-added this mapping (rebooting in between changes) the groups command began to work correctly again and access to these folders was restored.
I was able to confirm that the ACL was the problem, removing it allowed the network users to gain access, restoring it broke it again.
BTW, the error messages you got when you ran the ACL removal chmod command are nothing to worry about, these are just device special files (representing hardware devices in the filesystem), I doubt that ACLs can be setup for these. -
Here is the etrecheck info. Please advise... thank you!
Problem description:
iPhoto is running painfully slow. My library is on an external hard drive. It was runing just fine yesterday. i disabled Dropbox and a few other applications, to no avail.

Wow, that's a lot of data for you to sift through, but I suppose you know what you are looking to find. I bet you earned every one of those points. Thanks, Linc. All the folks in the world waiting for me to share their photos with them thank you as well : ) Cathleen -
When I try to open Iphoto, I can not read my my library.
What must I do?Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and 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.

I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app. I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind. I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far. I have gone to my app folder and tried to update my iPhoto Library. I have gone to my trash and brought it over to my desktop and still cannot use it. Please help!
Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto. -
I tried downloading AND RUNNING the upgrader and I'm stuck in an infinite loop. After running the upgrader from the utilities folder, it looks like things are working. Then a window pops up asking me to launch iphoto to complete the upgrade. After launching iphoto, iphoto goes back to the original error message that I need to download the upgrader.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the upgrader multiple times to no avail. I've also tried dragging my iphoto library from the external hard drive it is housed on to many different areas before trying to launch the upgrader, none of them worked. The external hard drive format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I also tried dragging the iphoto library folder in the pictures file onto my new Macbook right next to my new iphoto library folder. This allowed me to open up iphoto (Yay!) but of course, none of the photos from my old iphoto library were in their, even when the old library was selected.
I've read what seems like hundreds of posts on this same issue, but can't seem to find a solution that works for me. I want to simply transfer my iphoto library from an external hard drive (my old macbook just crashed, so this is the only option) to my new macbook, keeping the albums, slideshows, and organization intact.
I would appreciate any help or feedback. Thank you in advance for reading this!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.

Iphoto can't read old library files after backup
Hi there,
after a HD-Crash, a new HD, a new System and iLife5 I thought putting back the backuped iphoto library in the new iphoto 5 library should work. It doesn’t.
Any other usual image editing program is able to open the .jpg Files (which I extracted manually from the old library folder because I didn’t know anything about an extractor) but iphoto says that the files “may be an unrecognized file type or they may not contain valid data“.
I’m talking about 8000 Pictures!
I tried to put them in manually by dragging some of them.
I tried to import them via the menu
I erased the preferences (that spotlight could find and some I remembered)
And I thought about the REV Drive I used for Backup.
I heared about permission issues...
Any Help out there?
You’ll get a nice Pict!
ThanksOK, Problem solved.
Today I decided to move the Backuped Folders to some other place.
And than I decided to try again to import them by dragging (again) single jpegs into the (virtual) Library in the iphoto Window.
It worked. I was surprized because that was nothing that I haven’t try before.
BUT:
The Problem was that I did all the steps above by still having the Folders (I tried to import) in the new Library Folder.
SO:
It is right what all the other users say: DON’T DO ANYTHING MANUALY WITH THE IPHOTO LIBRARY FOLDER. NOTHING! -
IPhoto does not recognize old backup of library
I have a iPhoto library backup disk (dvd) that dates back to 2006. Iphoto does not recognize the photos and they will not open. How do I get to see the photo's?
Iphoto 11
iMac 2.4 ghz intel core duo
OS 10.6.8The only thing I can think of is that the Library is corrupted in some way. Unusual that the main computer can access it - though it rebuilds the thumbs each time, whiile the other two cannot. I suspect that the permissions warnings are bogus.
Neither of the other machines would be able to read that library without updating it, and in fact, once the 9.5.1 version updates it, the 9.4.3 version wouldn't be able to read it either.
But either way, each library should ask to upgrade it upon opening, that the don't suggests that the Library is damaged.
You need to decide what version you want to want to view this library with - as you can't view it with either of the other two once you upgrade it. Then from that machine rebuild the Library with iPhoto Library Manager.
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.

I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac. Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents. I have not even turned on my new Mac yet. Is the best way by an external hard drive?
If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

IPhoto 9.5.1 is not showing old albums in library on MacBook Pro
My iPhoto version recently upgraded to version 9.5.1. After this upgrade, my older albums are not showing in iPhoto. Has anyone else experienced this?
Any help will be most appreciated.. Is there a way to go back to the old version of iPhoto?
That is difficult, since you upgraded the library to iPhoto 9.5.1.
I think my issue is that it not recognizing any of my old photos in my library.
Is your library completely empty? Then you are probably now viewing a new library and not your old library. Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from? And where is your old library stored? On your internal drive or an external drive?
If you upgraded from iPhoto '08, you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader, before you can open the library in iPhoto 9.5.1., see: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader -
Aperture not opening due to alleged old iPhoto Library
Dear all
I try to open Aperture and I am getting this error message:
What I do not understand:
I am using iPhoto 9.3.2 and the library is updated
I am using Aperture 3.3.2
I am keeping separate libararies for iPhoto and Aperture, so Aperture should not even try to use my iPhoto library
Even rebuilding the iPhoto Database did not help
Even opening the Aperture library by double-clicking on it in finder did render the same error
When I restart the computer and lock on as a different user, I can open Aperture as long as I do not open iPhoto. Trying to open Aperture after openening iPhoto results in the same error. The only way to open Aperture again is by locking back on as another user and opening Aperture. Having done that, all other users can use Aperture again.
Does anybody have any idea what to do?
I am using the latest MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.4
Thanks and best regards,
RobertHi Robert,
the safest way to share an Aperture library is to put the library into an own disk partition or onto an external drive. This way you can set the" ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then both can read and write to the library using the default permission setting that "repair permissions" creates.
Would it be possible for you to use an external drive or to partition your internal drive?
To set the "ignore ownership flag" select the external drive in the Finder and then press cmd-I (for File > Get Info). Unlock the padlock in the Info panel and disclose the "Sharing and Permissions" brick. The flag is at the bottom of the panel.
Your drive should be formatted MacOS X Extended to be used with Aperture and directly connected, via firewire, usb, thunderbolt, not a network volume.
If you cannot use a separate drive right now, try to set the "Shared Folder" flag on the folder with the Library, but some posters have reported problems with videos in a shared folder.

Hi,
I was trying to save a copy of my iphoto library by copying images to my external harddrive. I wasn't sure how to do it, realised the hard drive is not compatible. Now the iphoto library wont open and reads "iphoto library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable".
I have tried to use options command and click on iphoto then rebuild yet nothing happens and same error message occurs.
I have gone to my personal drive, desktop, iphoto library, and found file Albumdata.xml and when i click on it, there is a lot of text in it, i am assuming these are all my photos.
I have tried clicking and dragging this file to iphoto app and it doesn't work, as the same error comes up in iphoto being in use or unreadable....
What am I meant to do with albumdata.xml file and how do I reopen Iphoto from here on in?
Please help as I am not technically minded and still trying to understand how to use the Macbook at all as I am used to Microsoft.
Thank you very much,
KSRule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
We need to know exactly what you did
And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
For reference after you get things working
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
