IPhoto corrupted....can't see any data on XML

Two days ago I purchased a 4g sandisk compact flash memory card and recorded some avis and took some pictures....which was all accidentally deleted. Since the card came with an approved-for-my-mac RescuePro recovery software, I thought I'd try it. Had a lot of problems with the serial number, so I opted to pay 40.00 for a download (the disc was a mini, and I have a laptop).
The files were successfully located. I checked them to make sure they worked. I selected about 12 jpegs and imported them into iPhoto. The thumbnails appeared very corrupted (gray pixely squares). I have had this problem before, but it never affected my iPhoto, so I simply closed iPhoto, put the jpegs in a folder so I could later upload them to the web.
I continued clearing off the desktop. I had a jpeg on there (that had not come from the lost camera files), so I dropped it on the iPhoto icon to see if it would register as a duplicate (checking before I trashed it). I received an "unreadable file" message and an error message saying my photos could not be saved.
I took the computer and hard drive (btw they are on hard drives not the mac HD-its iphoto is empty) to a new Apple place in town and they found my library with Disk Warrior.
I attempted to rebuild with library manager and it sees nothing.
Also, my iPhoto library copies on the other hard drive are unreadable by iPhoto as well.
I tried repairing permissions and they were already correct.
any advice?
thanks, julie
P.S. I want to avoid extracting unless absolutely necessary, since some info would be lost...

Format can be ascertained by selecting the disk in the Finder and going File -> Get Info. In the Get Info window it will be either a MS DOS FAT format or Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
If iPhoto Library Manager won’t rebuild the Library then you’ll need to either restore from your back up or create a new Library and start over.
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.

  • Can not see any Data in OKE.OKE_K_FUND_ALLOCATIONS

    I am looking in this table with SQLPlus and TOAD and can not see any rows.

    Hi Hussein;
    First I ran:
    select fu.user_name, fr.responsibility_name
    , fu.user_id, fr.responsibility_id resp_id
    , furg.responsibility_application_id resp_appl_id, furg.security_group_id sec_group_id

    , apps.fnd_responsibility_vl fr
    where furg.user_id = fu.user_id
    and upper(fu.user_name) = upper('&User_Name')
    and furg.responsibility_id = fr.responsibility_id
    order by 1, 3
    Passing in SYSADMIN
    Taking this row:
    SYSADMIN,General Ledger Super User,0,20434,101,0
    I ran:
    I ran exec fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE (0,20434,101,0);
    I still get no rows returned.
    Is thier a way in the App to ensure the SYSADMIN,General Ledger Super User can see this data? Or am I missing something else?

  • HFM Security....can't see any data forms/grids or journals etc.

    Hi,
    I'm missing something obvious here. We are upgrading from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.1.
    I have setup a Native user and assigned a group called CORPLOAD to it. CORPLOAD has been provisioned with all roles under Financial Application except the very top one called "Application Administrator". It also has been assigned the "Default" and" Provisioning Manage" roles.
    When I log in I can see the tasks, like "Process Journals" but no actual journals. I can see the task "Manage Journal Templates" but no templates. I also do not have access to any of the data forms or data grids - they are empty.
    As soon as I add the "application administrator" I can then see everything. I know its not a filter issue (I checked this).
    The setup is exactly the same as production 9.3.1.
    So there is must be something else that needs to be configured?
    Regards
    Dave

    Thanks JTF,
    Yes, that was it. I had not assigned CORPLOAD to the [default] security class (we have no other security classes).
    I did this through Shared Services->Applications Groups->Financial Applications->(right click)->Assign Access Control.
    Do you know where I would find a report that would show me which users and groups have access to the Security Class and what level? E.g. none, All, Metadata.
    It seems odd to me to get a report I have to step through the entire Assign Access Control process again to get to the security report?
    Regards

  • IPhoto suddently can't see my pictures...

    I've hunted around the forum a bit and haven't found a question that fits my situation.
    Yesterday I launched iPhoto and found that the application wasn't showing most of my photos. My library which normally has 3,000+ pictures was only showing 800 or so (all some of the first photos I imported) All my albums are there as well as the books I created, just no photos in any of the later albums. Interestingly, the thumbnail page images of the books I created show the pictures, but the edit screen shows gray blanks.
    I tried rebuilding my libaries - no luck.
    I tried one of the recommendations to move my library file to the desktop and reimport my images (I didn't describe this right, but it is one of the commoon recommendations) and I must not have moved the right file, because I did not see the same file options when I option clicked that the screen shot showed. The file options were the same as any other file.
    Help! I have dozens and dozens of albums and I'd hate to have to recreate them all - especially if I am dealing with a corrupted file to begin with!
    This occured just after I edited a photo and bought cards. I seem to remember the application having a hard time quiting and having to force restart.
    Thanks
    -Peter

    Photoless!:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you run Disk Utility and verified the hard drive? It sounds like it may be something more than just iPhoto causing problems but a disk problem. If the verify indicates repairs are necessary you'll have to boot into the system install disk that came with you Mac and, in the first window after the language selection window, launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    How much free space do you have on your boot drive?
    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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can't see drum data

    Ok, I just downloaded Logic Pro X, upgrading from Logic Pro 8. I opened up the "Electronic" template and started messing around. Somehos I got the drum machine track, Epic Electro, to play a drum pattern, but I can't see any data for this. I've tried opening up the editors and scrolling around, but I can't see any notes. Where is this data? It's really bugging me!
    Cheers
    Steve

    Those drum tracks are probably using Ultrabeat which is a self cotnained Drum Sequencer (Think 808)
    Open the Ultrabeat interface and you will see the patterns programmed into it...
    More info on Ultrabeat can be found in the Logic Pro Instruments Guide found in Logic's Help menu

  • Having corrected my corrupt catalog (PSE 11) I now have thousands of duplicate images. Is there any way of of removing the extra copies? I've had suggestions that apply to Windows, and iPhoto but can't find any advice for Photoshop Elements on Mac Maveric

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • One computer can't see any other iPhoto shared libraries

    My Powerbook can't see any other computer's shared iPhoto libraries. However, all my other computers can see its iPhoto library.
    All computers are running the same version of iPhoto.
    I posted this in the iPhoto forum, but I'm reasonably sure this is a networking problem. Why? If I create another user on my Powerbook, it can see all the other shared libraries. So, the problem exists on only one account on one computer. I think there is a corrupt system setting in that account's ~/Library/ somewhere. Any suggestion which file it is? I've already dragged out likely culprits to no avail.
    I have no problem sharing iTunes libraries; that works fine. So do file transfers to and from.
    Here's what else I've done:
    Verified iPhoto Preferences is set to "Look for shared photos" and "Share my photos" (obviously).
    Tried requiring a password, and not requiring a password
    Verified System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall has "iPhoto Bonjour Sharing" checked.
    Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iApps.plist
    Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.digihub.plist
    Turned off Little Snitch
    Quit / restarted iPhoto a few times
    Logged in / out, rebooted a few times
    Researched iPhoto Help
    Researched the discussion boards
    Repaired permissions on both (as you can see, I'm resorting to voodoo tactics)
    Dragged my iPhoto Library out of ~/Pictures and created a brand new empty library (more voodoo)
    Googled the problem
    Posted this topic
    That's all I can think of to do.
    So... what haven't I done?

    If iPhoto works for one user on a computer, it ought to work for all users. So the program itself can't possibly be a problem. Right?
    Apparently not. I deleted iPhoto, and reinstalled it. That fixed the problem for the one recalcitrant account.
    The problem with voodoo is that sometimes, it works.

  • Several months ago I kept getting prompted to "update" my iphoto library.  I finally gave in and clicked on the update button and EVER SINCE THEN,  ALL of my photos have been 'grayed out' and I can't see ANY of them unless I click on the photo and open it

    Several months ago,  I kept getting prompted to 'update' my iphoto library.  When I finally clicked on the 'update' button,  it 'greyed out' ALL of my photos.  Now ALL of my photos are grayed out and I can't see ANY of my pictures unless I click on each grayed out photo individually and open them,  ALL of the thumbnails are greyed out.  It is THE WORST!!  I have no idea how to fix this problem and its been MONTHS AND MONTHS of *** pain.  Anyone??  Please help!!!
    Thanks so much!!!

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
    and please tell us what version of iPhoto and of the OS you have

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

  • HT1338 I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

    I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

    Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

  • HT2518 I did the all of it and it transfered but can't see any of it even my iTunes library still empty where is al my data?

    I transfered my pc to my Mac but I can't see any pictures or music mi iTunes library is empy!  What can I do?

    1 - iPhoto never forces you to upgrade - any upgrade of the software is initiated by you
    2 - what version of iPhoto did you have? What version did you upgrade to? What version of the OS do you have?
    3 - what exactly happens when you launch iPhoto?
    4 - with no backup it is just a matter of time until you lose all of yoru files including your photos - thing do happen and with no backup you are 100% guarenteed to lose everyhing sooner or later
    as a wild guess backup, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your iPhoto library database

    Where did you get the device?  Is it possible that it has an IT policy on the device blocking Facebook and/or Facebook options?  Look in Options >Security Options >General Settings (actual menu paths vary with OS version) and see if there is any reference to IT policy.
