IPhoto Crash, then all Slideshows go missing.
I tried to "SHARE: Send to iDVD" one of my slideshows.
The computer got stuck "preparing images".
After an hour of waiting with no progress, I assumed the program was locked.
I closed the program (not force-quit).
When I restarted iPhoto, ALL of my slideshows were gone.
No only the one I was "sharing" with iDVD.
But a half dozen other ones as well!
Where have they gone? Are they truly deleted?
Is my hard-drive now littered with corrupt file bits all over the place?
If so, how do I locate and remove them?
Your database has been damaged.
Where have they gone?
They have been damaged in the db.
Are they truly deleted?
There is no way to recover them unless you restore from your back up, of course.
Is my hard-drive now littered with corrupt file bits all over the place?
No.
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.

My iPhoto crashed as I was trying to export a selected number of photos (to send to colleagues with Windows PC) and all content is missing. How do I restore/get all content back and in the same formet ie in their original events that I set up?
Hi Terence, here goes:-
iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2 (424)
Snow Leopard Mac OS X (latest update)
I had selected about 7 photos to export into 'pictures' so that I could send them by email to colleagues who don't have Apple. On returning to iPhoto all the content had disappeared and the photos I had selected did not export.
It happened on Thursday 21st Feb, nothing had been installed or deleted but I did update the latest software fairly recently (usual automated update etc). I am able to still use iPhoto but when I click the red button to close the application, it closes completely from my machine - the blue highlight button underneath the icon disappears and it does not remain in the background where I would usually have to click on 'iPhoto' in the top left hand corner.
No error messages
Attempted to restore by accessing Time Capsule - that's another matter/problem I will need to address separately (user error I reckon on this aspect!).
As far as I know I use iPhoto as it should be ie I have all my photos in Events (not albums)
Thanks -
IPhoto crashes lost all imported files from today
Upon re-launching iPhoto dos not display the newely accoried media files that were imported and my SD card shows they were imported? I look at events and the media not their then I goto photos nothing. SO I go back to my SD card and click show all media even if imported. I then re-import the files but then iPhoto says do you want to add this file with the file you are trying to add already is in iphoto but it's not cause the first try iPhoto crashed and the photo that iphoto shows as duplicate is a gray space? Were are the 1st imported media?
what version of iPhoto?
Try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

IPhoto crash - then photos gone!
Hi,
I have just imported a few photos off my SD cards as I do often, after importing I deleted the photos off the SD card as normal. Then I was editing one of the newly imported photos and then iPhoto wasn't responding so I "force quit" it. But when I reopened iPhoto the photos are gone!!
Went to 'Last Imported' and it shows my load of photos from previous SD card import!
Please help I have lost the photos!

(Running on MacBook Pro with OS X Mavericks, latest software)You Possibly have lost yoru photos unless you purchase data recovery software like media recover - the free trial download will tell you what is possible to recover
First try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
For the future a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

When is Apple going to fix iPhoto crashes?
IPhoto has been constantly crashing on me since Tiger. I have narrowed down the problem as being related to having many albums that are nested in folders. Apparently this takes up a lot of RAM. I'm usually OK until I start rating my photos with the photo on the right at maximum size. I rate it and move on to the next one. After about 5 minutes, iPhoto crashes, losing all my changes.
I have already broken up my 50,000 photo library into several different libraries to keep the photo count down. But the crashes continue, and I can't lower the number of nested albums due to the way I meticulously organize my photos.
I keep hoping the latest iPhoto updates from Apple will fix this ridiculousness. But it never does.
Each time it crashes, I send Apple the report. They seem to be ignoring it.
Oh yeah, and I have plenty of RAM.Are you using any "&" characters in your album names or other special characters. That has been a noted problem before. Also 50,000 in one library is really pushing iPhoto's limits. 25,000 is what was touted in the hype at the inauguration of iPhoto.
You might want to consider switching over to iView MediaPro which is designed to handle up to 128,000 photos per catalog and allows the user to setup and maintain his own folder system. Even if you move a photo from one folder to another it will be tracked and noted by iView.
Are you using one of the library managers to manage your multiple libraries, iPhoto Buddy or iPhoto Library Manager. Makes things so much quicker and easier.
How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

IPhoto crashes every time I select all my events and then click on events to try to auto split
My photos are out of order and grouped in to events that span years. I try to repair and rebuild as iphoto crashed each time I selected evednts to autosplit, The problem has persisted. Ideas?

Imported photos, deleted originals, then iphoto crashed and lost everything
I imported photos from my iphone, deleted the originals (i never do this, but figured, it's a new year so i should start cleaning up my phone!), and then iphoto crashed and now the photos i imported are nowhere to be found! help!
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's still a good chance that the photos are in the library but just not being recognized by iPhoto. Backup the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Click to view full size
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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.
OT
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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.
NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete. -
Uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library
Hi all,
This is driving me insane.
I have uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library:-
I have upgraded to yosemite 3 times in case thats where there problem was - no.
I removed and reinstalled the new iphoto program about 5 times - no avail.
I have installed iphoto library upgrader but it says that my library does not need it.
I have installed iphoto9.1 update but it states that it cannot be installed on the disc as iphoto 9.0 or later must be installed but i have installed the latest version?
I have even upgraded the server and i paid for this.
When i open iphoto in applications it will open then state that i need to upgrade the library - i am happy to do this.
I agree to this then iphoto crashes and closes before doing anything else.
I have also tried holding the option button and opening iphoto but it crashes all the same.
I am at a loss what to do. I could not access my library at all but i managed to find all my pics in finder so i have backed everything up and deleted all the files in the hope this would fix it - nope. Still the same.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? Please oh please, this has taken days and countless wifi hours...
TIA...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 crashes when I try to edit existing (old) slideshow.
iphoto crashes when I try to edit existing (old) slideshow. If I create a new one I can edit them ok, it seems to be older slideshows I have the problem with. I am happy to delete slideshow but even if i try to right click I just get whirly wheel of death then need to force quit. Am running Maverick and latest version of iphoto software...
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -
Macbook OSX 10.5.8, iPhoto 8.1.2. I just tried to import some photos using Nikon software (View NX2) for the first time. When I next looked into iPhoto it was empty (so was iTunes but that's another story). I had backed up photos fairly recently but don't use time machine. Searched in vain everywhere and must have done something wrong because iPhoto wouldn't then open at all, saying it was unreadable. After a lot more attempts to recover I uninstalled iPhoto and the receipts and reinstalled from my original disc. It seemed to be ok and imported some photos from my iphone but as soon as the import is complete iPhoto crashes and when opened again it is empty. Have tried this several times and have shut down and have tried rebuilding with the alt and cmd buttons but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
not a reply but not sure how to add something to my own thread! It seems that Desktop was damaged too as when I try to open it a screen says there is no application selected to open Desktop with. No idea what I should choose! Any help appreciated, have really made a mess of my MacBook this time.

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?
All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control.
If you want set top DVD player playback, I suggest you create a a series of slideshows IN iDVD that each contain a MAXIMUM of 99 images. Do not create the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie.
Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Some DVD players will play a disc containing jpeg images -
IPhoto crashes when downloading maps for Places slideshow
Hi
I'm trying to make a slideshow of my photos from a recent holiday for which I have created an event inside iPhoto. I am trying to use the Places theme, but whenever it says "Downloading Maps" the bar moves across very slightly, then freezes and I am unable to use iPhoto. After a few minutes iPhoto crashes and I am given a report that will be sent to Apple, and the option to press either 'OK' or 'Reopen'.
Some of the photos were taken in Airplane Mode meaning that they have no GPS data - I am wondering if this is the problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks a lot

IPhoto crash, lost slideshows
Iphoto crashed - it just shut down - and I lost all the content in my slideshows. Any idea how I can recover them?
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a 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 you library? Describe or post screenshots.
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?
