IPhoto 9.5 lost lots of photos after transfer from external HD USB

Hi,
Our old MB with os 10.9.3 and iPhoto 9.5 was damaged and replaced with MBP 15 Retina with the same system.
As I have much more space on the new one decided to move iPhoto library from external USB (Seagate) HD to the new MBP.
I did drag and drop to the new location in Pictures in new MBP. About 64GB. Transfer went fine without any issue.
Unfortunately lots of pictures are lost. I can see the thumbnails but when trying to open them "Picture cannot be found".
I did experiment - Having connected external HD (library was still there) and iPhoto on I did "Switch to Library" to the newly transfered (the transfered one with missing pictures).
And now I can see all pictures there, no one missing. But when disconnect HD pictures are missing again.
Confusing.
Please advice.
Thanks

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
4 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Lost all my photos after updating from 2.14 to 3. Anyway to recover them?

Have been using aperture 2.14 for years, love it! Uploaded about a months worth of photos last night and began editing as normal. Program kept crashing over and over so I began searching reason why and realized it could be because I just updated to Mavericks OSX. Read that Mavericks and older versions of aperture can be "buggy" and that I should upgrade aperture to 3.0. After the upgrade all photos after 2009 are gone. I have everything backed up except the months worth of photos I just uploaded last night and I already deleted from my camera. Anyway to recover them? I went to the root aperture library to see if they were still there just not being referenced and the file size changed right before my eyes! Please help

Open the App Store, choose "Updates" from the bottom, then "Purchased". You can re-download your purchased apps from there.
Of course, before that, you had to go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and sign in with your Apple ID.

IPad not displaying some photos after transfer.

iPad not displaying some photos after transfer from Windows Vista PC, only displays the word "JPG".

Hi Terence,
Sorry but did it as you adviced and have the same issue. Missing many of pictures. But they were on original external drive.
Just wonder what the aditional libraries doing on the external hard drive. Never created any of them.
Thanks for advice.

In iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

in iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

It's rather more complicated that this.
iPhoto is a lossless editor. You don't lose any quality on your shot in iPhoto.
The file size you see reported is the size of your iPhoto Preview: this is what gets used if you access the data via a media browser. It's a "good-enough-for-most-uses" version of the shot. Email it, upload to websites, use it in Presentation, Word processing file etc
If you want to set the quality yourself then Export the photo using the File -> Export command.
You can choose to export to Jpeg, Tiff or png. Tiff is lossless but the file sizes are up to 10 times larger. Jpeg allows you to choose different qualities: High, Medium or low. The difference is the amount of compression involved. High quality means very little compression. It's not unusual for photos exported at this setting to have a larger file size than the original.
Which setting you choose depends on the use you intend. Further editing, printing then high is important. Sending to Facebook? Well low will do just fine there as they're going to trash the file anyway.
But the key point: the file size only becomes an issue when you export.

I lost lots of apps after updating to ios7. Can I go back to ios6?

I lost lots of apps after updating to ios7. I hate the look of it and I think it is not as easy to use. Can I go back to ios6?

Hi,
You cannot. It's not supported by Apple actually, so if you downgrade they cannot help you.
However, make sure that all your apps are not in a different page, so keep swiping to the left just in case they are hidden at a first glance.
You can use the App store app to download all your purchased items.

Hi, i can't open photo library on my iPhoto. Now lost all my photos. How to restore all photos on iPhoto on Macbookair?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

You can make a smart album based on camera to seperate photos

Where can I find un-recovered photos after restoring from Icloud

Where can I find un-recovered photos after restoring from Icloud?

They would only be stored in your backup. If they didn't restore properly all you can do is try restoring the backup again.

Upgraded to iPhoto 11 version 9.3 and lost all 47GB photos after prompted to update library. Can I get my photos back?

The iPhoto library is still the same size in Finder. But when opening iPhoto it only shows the new photos currently from photostream and none of my albums, last 12 months, etc. Thank you for any help on this.

You're photos are safe in the Master's folder of your library. The library just can't link to them. Try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) 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.
If that fails try
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
Of course if you have a backup copy of your library from just before the problem started that would be your best move.
