Iphoto Deleted but not trashed

My Iphoto library was trashed but the trash was not deleted. I dragged it to the desktop then dragged it to the dock but it isn't working properly. I have the pictures in my library but whenever I scroll thru the pictures or even click on the iphoto icon I get the spinning wheel on a regular basis.
I never got the wheel until I trashed the iphoto and tried to restore.
Was there better way to restore the iphoto application after I trashed it? Thanks in advance

Okay, so this is a little tricky, since the terminology you are using is conflicting, so let's see what's going on...
1) From your wording, it seems that you trashed the iPhoto LIBRARY, not the Application itself...if this is the case, you're going to have to figure out where your iPhoto library originally existed, before you trashed it (WHY DID YOU TRASH YOUR IPHOTO LIBRARY, by the way?). You can use Google, but I know for me, personally, I moved my iPhoto library from where it originally was created.
2) Another thing that you can do, is to hold the "Alt/Option" key down as you're opening iPhoto. This will allow you to choose an iPhoto library. Browse to the one that you pulled out of the trash, and this HOPEFULLY should repair it.
Let me know if this works. By the way, why are you asking this in the iPhone 4 forum?

  • Are messages I have not deleted but not backed up still on a server somewhere?

    Peculiar situation - I'll explan as succinctly as I can.
    Recently I had to restore my iphone. On it were stored a number of messages that I will describe as 'not deleted' but as I had not backed up successfully in some time - *cough* two months *cough* - the backup obviously did not restore them.
    The messages app is seemingly operating normally. No interruption is noted aside from problems associated with my carrier.
    Is there a way to retrieve those messages falling into the 'not deleted but historical and not captured by the backup' part of the resulting Venn diagram?

    No.
    Your iPhone should back up whenever you connect it to your computer or if you are syncing to iCloud, whenever you plug it in while on wi-fi...

  • Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

    Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

    Because that is the design of the iphone.
    Music and photos are added/deleted via the sync process.

  • Photo stream is showing up in iphoto recent but not web and I am not able to join the shared photo stream.  all of my software is updated.  can someone tell me how to get photo stream in the web source list? thanks!

    Can someone help me get Photo Stream to appear under Web in the iPhoto Source List? I have updated all my software.  iPhoto 11, Mac OS X 10.7.5  All of my preferences are checked.  I am able to see the shared Photo Stream on my iPad, but not my Mac.  The Mac iPhoto photos from the shared photo stream are appearing in the Photo Stream (under Recent), but I thought they would appear as a shared Photo Stream in its own file/album (like on the iPad and iPhone)  - labeled with the shared Photo Stream's title.  Is this supposed to happen on the Mac?  Thanks!

    So you are saying for it to do what i want: shared photo stream to appear in web then i need to upgrade.
    Yes
    Does that mean i purchase the new software an it's not just an update?
    Yes
    Your profile indicates your running 10.7.5.  For shared Photo Streams you need to be running 10.8.2 or later: The following is from  iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    What do I need to use Photo Stream?
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:  iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    So you'll need to upgrade to Mt. Lion.
    iPhoto requirements are free updates for iPhoto '11

  • HT1766 I have an album in my photos which I am unable to delete even after doing a back up. Other albums automatically delete but not my picture one which is listeed as being from my computer. Any tips on how to delete these would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm trying to delete an album titles pictures from my photos album but can't work out how to do it. I've tried auto back up and erase which deletes other albums but not the photo album. Even selecting individual photos and selecting edit does nothing. Any tips how to erase this album would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Video (mov)  in iPhoto 8 library seen in iPhoto 8 but not iMovie 8.

    After installing iLife 08, I can see my photos and videos in iPhoto 08, and the videos (mov from Kodak V570) play fine in QT. However, in iMovie 08, I cannot see all of my videos in the event library (though the manual leads me to believe I should be able to see them). I can see some of my videos (the ones that I had on the computer when I installed iMovie 08). I cannot see any video that I imported into the iPhoto library after initial install from within the iMovie 08 event library. If I try to import the video, all of the video files within the iPhoto library are grayed out. I can import the videos (mov) just fine into iMovie06.
    Much discussion on this topic within the iMovie08 forum. No solutions, though. A person suggested that the topic be raised in the iPhoto forum, since the iPhoto library in iPhoto08 is the library for iMovie08. Appreciate any help.

    I have exactly the same problem as well... I upgraded from iMovie HD to iMovie'08. I can only see one video clip from my iPhoto library but I have over hundreds of these clips... not sure why. I am using *.AVI video files.

  • How to restore deleted, but not erased, data?

    I just restored my iphone, from an older backup.  itunes says that the information is deleted from the device, but not erased. How do I recover this deleted information?

    I have never seen a message where iTunes states that data is deleted but it has not been erased.
    The only way that you can recover that data - and data is a somewhat vague term because it can refer to so many different things such as documents, contacts, notes, etc. - is to restore from a backup that contains that data or if you have a local copy of that data stored somewhere on your computer you can import it again via File Sharing, email, DropBox, etc.
    So I guess at this point the next question is what data are you trying to recover?

  • Can you upload photos that iPhoto "deleted" but are still on camera?

    I was in the middle of uploading to iPhoto from my Sony Cybershot DSC-W120 when the camera's battery died. iPhoto said there'd been an interruption, etc. When I went to re-try uploading the photos once the battery was charged, only some of the photos uploaded. Unfortunately I didn't realize this and so when iPhoto asked me if I wanted to delete the photos on the camera, I said yes.
    I have looked on the camera and the photos are still there in the same place they always appear when I review them, although some of them have a circle w/ an X through it in the bottom right-hand corner of the image. iPhoto says there are no photos to upload.
    I disconnected the camera, turned it off, quit iPhoto, started up the camera, reconnected it; iPhoto started up again, but still says there are no photos to upload. I did not use the camera to delete the images, I only clicked "delete photos" in iPhoto. I have noticed that only clicking "delete photos" in iPhoto means that the images remain in the camera, though perhaps in a different folder. It is only when I actually use the camera to delete the photos that they are truly gone.
    Does anyone have suggestions as to how to get these images to upload to iPhoto? Thanks so much.

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    1 - try image capture (in your applications folder)
    2 - mount the camera to the desktop and see if you can download the photos using the finder
    3 - if that does not find them then use media recover - http://www.mediarecover.com/ - the trial version will tell you what it can recover before you purchase
    4 - in the future it is recommended that you never have iPhoto (or any other computer program) delete your photos - always import your photos (using a card reader is better in many people's opinion) and properly disconnect your camera, test them in iPhoto and then use your camera to format the card hereby deleting the photos and reformatting the card

  • IPhoto bouncing but not launching solution

    Just thought I would share this (painful) experience with you folks so nobody will need to go through the frustrations I went though.
    I got a new Macbook (white, 13"). Being the control freak I am, first thing I did was to do a clean re-install of OSX Tiger from the original discs (v10.4.10). This was so I only had what I wanted on my notebook, and not other needless stuff.
    After the welcome screen, first thing I did, without starting any apps, was to run software update. This led to installation of the iLife updates (iPhoto 7.02 and iMovie 7.01). All was hunky dory, rebooted...
    After the reboot, clicking on iPhoto and iMovie resulted in nothing. The icon would just bounce a few times, and... nothing. The application would not launch. This is one of the (many!) threads on Apple's support forums which shows this issue is not a unique one:
    discussions.apple.com/me...=5319234#5319234
    Yes, yes. I repaired permissions, deleted plist file, etc etc. No joy. Rung Apple Support - completely clueless. To make things worse, none of the forums provided solutions to this problem.
    What was the solution? I re-installed OSX again (grr....), but this time, instead of installing the iLife patches straight away, I opened iPhoto, iMovie FIRST; exited, then ran software update, applied the latest patches, rebooted and waa-laa... no problems.
    My gripe with this:
    1. What if your "typical user" did what I initially did? What a quandary they would be in!
    2. How can Apple make such a basic mistake? Won't there be a appreciable number of power users out there that would have done what I did, and applied patches on the first install?
    I hope anyone who have had this problem find this post useful.

    If you hadn't reinstalled the system this wouldn't have happened. If you didn't want certain things on the MacBook couldn't you have just deleted them? If it were the extra language modules you could have used Monolingual. The MBs setup to work right out of the box with no further installations. Most users do just that, start using the MacBook right out of the box and bring over their user files, etc. either manually or with Migration Assistant. You're the first I can remember with this specific problem posting.
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
