Iphoto albums just created get lost after I exit iPhoto

Loaded 84 photos from my camera into iPhoto, assigned some of them to newly created albums and some to existing ones OK.
When I exit iPhoto and restart the application these albums and photos have gone. In addition, the Last Import list is not what I've just imported but the previous import.
Checked the original .jpg's and can find the photos, in fact there are three copies as its happened three times.

Corrupted Library database.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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. .

Aperture 3: GPS data gets lost after 'Update from Master'

My library contains photos in JPEG format that I geotag in Places, then I save the metadata with 'Write IPTC Metadata to Master'. The problem I have is, that the GPS data gets lost after I do an 'Update from Master', even if I saved the metadata before. I'm having this problem with referenced and managed photos and all my JPEGs from several different cameras. The only way to permanently store the GPS info into my photos seems to be to export the geotagged photos as versions.
Does anybody has the same problem or knows how to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Use Houdah geo (http://www.houdah.com) to write location data back to the EXIF. It's interface is very similar to Places (Google maps and pins) and you can interface with the Aperture library. It's a bit of a pain, but if you need it done now rather than wait for an Aperture 3 fix, then...

Iphoto library was created with an unrelased version of iphoto please quit and ugrade library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4

my iphoto 8.1.2 operating system 10.6.8 can't open iphoto...error message says IPHOTO LIBRARY WAS CREATED WITH AN UNRELEASED VERSION OF IPHOTO. PLEASE QUIT AND UPGRADE IPHOTO LIBRARY BY OPENING IT IN IPHOTO 2 OR IPHOTO 4?

Restore from your back up is the simple solution.
Failing that:
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 Albums not seen in iTunes after iOS 6 update

I upgraded a 3rd gen iPad and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, then updated my Macbook Pro (2.4 ghz quad core i7, 8GB RAM) to 10.8.2 with the requisite iPhoto update. Now, iTunes will not show my iPad even though wireless sync is enabled, unless the iPad is connected to the laptop via the docking cable. Both iPhone and iPad error out on synch with an error 1140 if synching photos is enabled. Under the photo tab, the button to have "selected albums, events and faces" is grayed out. So I can only select to sync ALL photos or none. I believe the error 1140 is stemming from my library being too large to sync to the i-device. In any case, I can no longer choose certain albums that were enabled under iOS 5. The area below these options in the Photos tab in iTunes also does not show any albums, where it used to do so in a grayed out fashion even if that option was not selected. Major issue here. Have tried all the rebuild and repair of iPhoto library. The kicker is that both the devices I upgraded have the exact same issue, so I'm thinking this is an update/Apple problem, not an issue with my devices or config.

Ok, all. I think I found the problem. In searching for reports of this issue and solutions I found someone that mentioned they had fixed a similar issue with a "free" program called "iPhoto Library Manager." The app apparently lets you split a library into multiple smaller ones or combine multiple libraries. Generally it just "manages" your libraries. I figured I had nothing to lose so I checked it out. Turns out it costs $19.99 but they do have a free demo.
I launched it and it immediately told me that it couldn't display my library and albums due to an issue with the AlbumData.xml file on line 22155. I read in the documentation of the app under it's "Help" menu that likely causes were a keyword with a "null" character at the end, or a file path being referenced inside the library that had an ampersand or backslash in it. The person on the board I'd found had had a keyword issue.
Anyway, I opened the iPhoto library by showing package contents (right click the file to choose this) and loaded up the AlbumData.xml file in TextWrangler, since that displays line numbers. I found that line 22155 indeed referenced an mp3 in my iTunes library that had an ampersand in it. Deleted that line. Then it said line 22156 had an issue so I deleted that, at which point iPhoto Library Manager instantly displayed all my albums. I checked iTunes and it too now showed my albums and the option to sync only selected albums was no longer grayed out!
Per the Library Manager's instructions, I saved the AlbumData.xml file I'd modified. The app said the iPhoto only writes this file out, it doesn't read it. However, other apps read it to get your album info, hence the issue. So I had to go into iPhoto and fix the problem, else the next time I exited the app, it would write the file back out improperly. I noticed in the xml file that where the song was listed it was also referencing one of my albums. So when I launched iPhoto, I went to that album and checked the slide show settings. Sure enough, I had set a custom playlist for that album and listed the song I had seen on line 22155 in the AlbumData.xml file. I removed that song from the settings, and exited iPhoto. No more issues! I appear to be all set!
Now, I'm not clear if I NEEDED to edit the AlbumData.xml file. Just looking at it showed the error and then I had to fix it in iPhoto. So you can probably do that. However, the iPhoto Library Manager software is the only thing I know of that could show WHERE the error was. Since the free demo works for this purpose, I'd suggest giving it a shot. This issue is obviously caused by our individual libraries and is not an Apple issue. Now, the album that had the problem has existed for almost 3 years and I've never had an issue like this arise before so it's anyone's guess as to why it became a problem now. Fortunately, it's all in the past for me now, though!
Hope this helps someone. Good luck!

Qosmio X500: Lan/Internet connection get lost after period of time

Hi all,.
I got the qosmio x500 for about half a year now...
I got this problem where after about 5 hours or less the lan/internet connection get lost.
I disabled the wireless connection and is using only the wired connnection now.
When it get disconnected... all devices seems to work seemlessly, no problem can be found. I checked the win7 network adaptor --and it seems to be connected properly.
I haven't got a slightest idea how to fix that.... Only a reset of the system and reloading the os results with a valid connection.
It is even stranger,. When using it for a piriod of time (listeding to audio streams from the web)... when getting back to the machine the audio connection seems to work properly.... but when trying to access other sites, or other machines in the homegroup, or network (under explorer). It result faulty.
Please guide me somehow how to fix the issue, it is bugging me a lot (all these resets to the machine probably doesn't do it any good as well).
thanks in advance,.

Hi,
It could be the energy saving feature of your network card.
Right click Network Icon on the status bar, choose 'Open Network Center and Sharing', Click on 'Connection', Click on 'Properties' (low left button), you'll see the tab with your Network Properties. Click 'Configure' (Upper right button), choose 'Power Management' (last right tab).
Uncheck 'Allow computer to shut down this device to save energy'. Probably your problem will now be solved.
If the names I write aren't exactly right, I'm on a French language computer so my translations can be slightly wrong.
Bye,
Ton

My iPad 2 just started getting hot after brief use. What is it?

I have had my iPad 2 for 3 years, never had a problem. It just started getting very warm after using it for just a short time. Is this something that needs to be resolved immediately? Would an Apple store be able to help me?

Glad that was it, simple fix!
Don't be too quick to blame your granddaughter, the brightness control is very easily changed from Control Center with just an errant tap or swipe, and I swear it moves on its own sometimes

Safari Minimized Windows Get Lost After Restart

If I have any minimized windows when I quit Safari, I can't make them visible after I re-launch Safari without some extra trickery.
They are shown in the Window menu, with the "◆" bullet prepended, but when I select one of them, the bullet is replaced by a ckeck mark, and the frontmost window loses focus, but the minimized window isn't shown. It's as if the window is fronmost but not visible, as if it were positioned outside of the viewing area.
If I then select View > Enter Full Screen, the window becomes visible and remains so after I exit full screen mode.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? It's obviously a bug of some sort, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced it bufore I report it. I have a hunch that it might be limited to Safari 7 and Mavericks running on older hardware. I'm currently using Safari 7.0.4 in OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), but I have noticed this ever since upgrading to Mavericks. I'm not sure exactly how old my MacBook Pro is, but it's old.

Is this system in domain ?
The new group policy is named “Force
a specific default lock screen image” and can be found in this path in the group policy editor: “Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative
Templates\Control Panel\Personalization”
Is this configured?

IPHOTO Library file will not open after update of iPhoto 9.6.1

I am trying to open up my IPHOTO Library in IPHOTO 9.6.1 with not success.
My computer is a Mac (27-inch, Mid 2011), 2.7 GHZ Intel core i5 processor, 8 GB ram, AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB graphics card, 1TB Hard Drive.
My iPhoto 9..6.1 appears to be created on March 16, 2015 and was modified on March 20,2015 which I assume is from a security update 2015-003.
My iPhoto Library was created March 22, 2012 and was last updated March 1, 2015. To the best of my knowledge, it has not been open since it was last updated. Unfortunately there are no current backups to the file.
When I launch IPHOTO the screen shows a rotating sprocket then after a period of time I receive a message:
Your photo library is either in use be another application or has become unreadable. Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your iPhoto library, to do this , quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
When I follow this am left with four items to chooses from: repair permissions, rebuild thumbnails, repair database, rebuild database. The first is selected and assume this is by default. I am not sure what the best choice is to select. Secondly since i have no backup of the file and I am not sure the file is corrupted, I started trying to create a copy on on an external drive however the file (192GB Size) new completes a copy routine. I considered a backup process which would take multiple hours.
Looking for direction.

1. make a back up. No matter how long it takes.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
2.
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

IPhoto Library seems to be empty after running the iPhoto Library Upgrader

Hi,
I just transfered my account from a previous Mac Pro running 10.8.5 to a new MacBook Pro running 10.9. I tried to open my iPhoto Library and it suggested me to download the iPhoto Library Upgrader, so I did, and upgraded the iPhoto Library, but now, there aren't any photos on my Library, the iPhoto Library weight is 32 GB, so I don't really know what's going on with it. Please some help, all the pictures from my 2 year old daughter are there

Drag the library that is not working to the desktop on the new Mac and then drag the library from the old Mac o the pictures folder on the new Mac and launch iPhoto
You should not need the library upgrader. It is only for iPhoto 5 and earlier. iPhoto should simply do any required upgrades and you are on your way
Once you have a working library trash the one on the desk top

IPhoto 09 - some recent events lost after restoring from Time Machine

recently my early-2009 iMac hanged during boot up on the white screen. so i a restore from Time Machine and it works. this freezing occurred twice of the last one week, which i did 2 restore to last backup. then i notice there's an issue with iPhoto 09. i notice some latest events which supposedly been backup during the restore point, appears 'blank'. when i enter Time Machine, i see all previous events but the recent day or two, it just turn out to be black squares, and when i enter the events there weren't any photos but just files with names.
i tested again but loading in a couple of new photos into iPhoto yesterday night, back it up and double check in Time Machine, it is (the new photos) there. about 6-hours later i make a check again (on Time Machine), the photos event became the black square again. this is really a pain for me as i have lost enough photos
i desperately need help on this. anyone?
here a couple of the screenshot from my Time Machine:

Hello mook,
So if I understand:
1.) The goal is to restore the iPhoto Library from a point before the issues started happening
2.) When you try to go backwards in Time Machine while inside the iPhoto window you get a blank Library when you get to the date range you want.
What to do:
- As you cannot seem to access the iPhoto contents using the iPhoto window I would suggest the following:
1.) Navigate using the Finder to ~/Pictures (or whatever folder you are currently housing your iPhoto Library in)
2.) Rename the current iPhoto Library to something else (Like iPhoto Library Old etc)
3.) While looking at this Pictures window, activate Time Machine and go back in time to a date when YOU ARE SURE iPhoto was working fine and had the images you want
4.) Click on the iPhoto Library in the Time Machine window and click on Restore
-- This will restore the Library from the date in question
-- You will have 2 libraries once the restore is complete. The freshly restored library and the old library. Keep the old library just for safe keeping until such time as you determine you have all the pictures you want. Then you can do whatever you want with it (trash it, etc)
Hope that helps.

IPhoto album cover images are lost when I sync to my iPad and iPhone. Can I fix this?

I have a few albums that I created with iPhoto on my Mac. I picked a cover image, and it has worked on the Mac, but when I view the albums on my iPad or iPhone, the cover image is just the default one - it isn't the one I picked. Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPhone are to totally different programs sharing only a name - at this time changes made in one do not sync to the other - only the photos that yu sync when you sync them are synced

MobileMe albums not visible in Aperture after upgrade from iPhoto

I've just upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture and all went well, except that my mobileme albums aren't appearing. I published a test album which worked, but my existing ones don't appear.
I've read on another thread that a dodgy character in an album name caused a similar problem but I can't see anything that looks odd in my mobileme album names.
Any ideas?

I had the exact problem and found the solution here.

IPhoto Albums have no visible content after switching off Photo Stream

Why does the contents of Albums within an iPhoto Library disappear when Photo Stream was switched off on aniPhone?

See if the following will show your original files in the library:
Starting 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 subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
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.
