Iphoto can't find my photos -- how can I force it to recognize them?

I initially used iPhoto in referenced mode, but after a few years, I switched to managed mode, and then I inquired about how to make my iPhoto library entirely managed. About 2 years ago, Larry HN suggested Alias herder. I finally got around to using it, and there are no more aliases in iPhoto Library/Masters. The problem is that once I removed the referenced photos from ~/Pictures, iPhoto is acting as if the original photos are lost -- even though they're right inside the iPhoto library.
Now I did some searching on these threads, and the advice to those who have iPhoto libraries that are entirely referenced is to start afresh. But I can't do this, because a good part of my library consists of imported photos that don't reside anywhere else. And there's no way to drag photos from one iPhoto library to another, is there? My library has over 12,000 photos.
Isn't there a way to get iPhoto to recognize the originals inside the iPhoto Library. I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, to no avail

This is split across two threads... might be best to consolidate onto one, no?
Library Manager doesn't recover one shot plus all the associated metadata, then next shot, plus all associated metadata..., it recovers the related data in difference stages, so the Faces Data may not be lost, but it may not be able to get to then stage of recovering that data before the crashes...
You could try create a new Library. Set it to be Managed. Then use Library Manager to copy over an Event to the new Library. Does that get all the data? Faces too?
If so, repeat and so on...

After Finding a photo, how can I see it with nearby photos vs. all by itself?

After Finding a photo, the Organizer returns image of it all by itself. How can I see it in context, with surrounding photos?

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto thumbnails - this may take several tries
Also what version of iPhoto? What recently changed?

Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes for my ipod how can I find this or how can I put my music from my ipod onto itunes

Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?

Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

The download icon from my Adobe Illustrator CS2 disk does not appear on my laptop. Where can I find it? How can I download the program?

When I load my Adobe Illustrator CS2 disk onto my recently reconfigured laptop, the icon to download and install the program does not appear. I have tried opening it through a Finder window, but haven't had any success. How can I download this program to my computer?

Is there a way to export my movie timeline (as in the organisation of my
clips, not just the movie) to a external hard drive. I thought publish
would help but I'm unsure and the export button under file doesn't light
up. I'm using Elements 11 and I'm trying to save it to a hard drive so I
can unistall the program, upgrade my operating system and reinstall.

where ejb?Its not required to set any environment variable for EJB development with JBuilder6. If you are not using any of the JBuilder wizards for creating EJB's, then you need to add your JAR files through 'required libraries'.

I need to find my i pod touch , i know its in my house but i can't find it. How can i find it if it doesn't have an i cloud account

Please help me, it's been gone for over 3 months! I a'm 100% sure it's in my house but i can't find it!!!!! Not sure about the iOS.

You cannot track it at all.
Sorry.
After three months the battery is certainly dead. The ipod would have to be powered on and connected to wi-fi to track it, and that is ONLY if you had set up find my ipod before it was lost

I can not delate my photo how can I in iphoto

In iphoto how do I delate a photo I delate them and they keep reappearing

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 <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.

HT204022 How can I find my photos in iCloud if I have inadvertently deleted them?

Is there any way I can retrieve photos taken on my iPhone 4 that I had inadvertently deleted from the "cloud" on my Windows laptop. I thought there might be some way to do that------go back to a previous date perhaps?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately not. have you deleted the originals too.

HT4859 My ipad is backed up to the cloud. I had to do a restore, but now I can't find my photos. Can I retrieve them anywhere?

My son used a passcode, but then forgot what it was. I had to do a complete restore. However, I know the Ipad had been sync'd with iCloud. Aren't my pictures in the Cloud? How do I retrieve them if they are? If they are not, then what??
Cathy

Many users seem to have lost photos doing a restore of a device from an icloud backup. I don't know why some backups seem to not have photos, unless they were not in the camera roll. But, it seems they are gone unless you have been following the suggested practice of always periodically syncing photos on a device to a computer, much the same way you'd sync photos from a digital camera to a computer for archiving.

I want to uninstall my version of adobe elements 11 in order to upgrade my operating system and then re-install. I have the original disk but not the code or registration info - where can I find it or how can I contact someone who can help me?

Do I have to alert adobe if I'm moving my product from one computer to another? or will they recognise my intentions when my product is removed from their database?

How can i find my ipod, how can i find my ipod

i cant find my ipod

In order for a lost iPod Touch to be located you have to have set 'Find My iPod' up on it before losing it, and it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network (how else could it transmit its location) - if any of these conditions is not true then locating it is not possible.
If all these conditions are true you may be able to locate it by going to http://www.icloud.com and going to the 'Find My iPhone' page there.

Since your question is extremely vague and supplies no information at all about your issue, it is hard to help.

How can I find double photos in iPhoto'11?

Hey, how can I find double photos in iPhoto'11? Only know that it displays doublets when I use the import function in iPhoto'11.
Thanks
Matthias

Thanks for the answer. After I posted this question, I saw there were other discussions. I do see everything is there, but it is time comsuming to view each individual picture to make sure I put it in the right catagory!!
I did send feedback to apple, but I see people have been asking them to fix this problem for the last 7 months or so, and it is still not fixed.....so what is good about the new version!!?

I saved photo into iPhoto slideshow, but now I can't find it. I wanted to open it in iPhoto so I could edit the photo and make it lighter. How can I find the photos I saved into iPhoto slideshow?

I need advise about saving photos into iPhoto. When I chose to save a photo, I chose it to be saved into iPhoto slideshow because that's the only choice I had that mentioned iPhoto. Now I can't find the photo in iPhoto. What did I do wrong?

Post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.
