IPhoto froze and then hundreds of pictures I had imported are now not only removed from my camera but also no longer imported... HELP! They were for an engagement shoot!

please please please help me get them back.. they aren't in the trash. ugh I could just DIE.

Use an app like MediaRecover To get the files back from the card.

I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion. I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!

Please! I need an answer fast!!!!

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. .

Mera, (this has always been sucessful) however the pictures would not download, and appear to be encrypted and unable to view. This also erased the pictures from the memory card. Help?

I tried to download my pictures with my memory card from my camera (this has always been sucessful) however the pictures would not download, and appear to be encrypted and unable to view, also not saved in my 'Iphotos' This also erased the pictures from the memory card. Help.....anyway of retrieving them?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential 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?
did you get a message when trying to import from the memory card?
did you use a card reader?
what was you exact workflow for attempting the import?
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? See image below:
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

How can I delete a chosen picture in my address card

Hi ALL,
As the title already says ... How can I delete a chosen picture in my address card.
Every Email I sent it shows a picture on the right upper corner.
I tried to delete it or chose "Non" but notting works ... how to do that.
Thanks in advance ...
Dimaxum

That picture does not show in actual emails - none of your recipients will see it. The picture is the one you chose when you set up your account; you can change it in System Preferences -> Accounts, but you can't delete it - each account will have a picture assigned to it.

Putting pictures on a memory card, via my printer

I'm not to sure I have the correct forum.
I'm trying to put pictures on a memory card, and the card will then go on my digital photo frame, I've put the card into my printer which is Photo smart 5520, and I use windows 7, when I've done it before with another printer, the card came up as a removable device, and then I just dragged the picture on to the memory card icon, I did this with my Epson, but my HP printer won't do it.
I asked a while back and the girl who helped me paired it up with the Internet, I did see my pictures on it, but it would not let me put more pictures on, which is why I'm asking again, I hope someone can help me, as I've got know idea at all, I'm not a computer buff, I only know the basics, thank you in advance to anyone who is kind enough to help me
This question was solved.

Thanks for the response. What you are suggesting is that your memory card is not showing on the computer. Is that correct? If it is correct, try another card, and ensure these cards are not locked. If multiple cards do not work on the computer, you can reference this document for assistance on troubleshooting the card reader: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01884924
If this is not what you implied, please provide a more detailed analysis on the issue. I'm only here to help!

Import the music and photos from the memory card with your computer and place the music in your iTunes library.
Place the photos in a folder to be designated for transfer to your iPhone.
Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to transfer this music and any other music in your iTunes library and select Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes selecting the folder where these photos are located followed by a sync.

IPhoto 08 and Deleting Files

I recently upgraded from iLife 06 to ILife 08 and having major problems with new version of *IPhoto 08.* First and foremost, messages began showing that my startup disk is almost full and to delete unwanted files. I'm assuming this is happening because of ILife 08 installation including SuperDuper and Lacie external hard drive. No matter, before doing any installations I did massive backups to external hard drive and cds. Once ILife 08 was installed, I began deleting unwanted pictures within *_IPhoto Library via the Finder_* including File browser when I had Photoshop open. Unbeknownst to me, this is not recommended due to possible corruption of IPhoto. OK, apparent this is happening because when I go to IPhoto there are blank photos when I do a full screen.
My question is what is the best way to delete ALL originals and duplicates of older iphoto 06 pictures including other unwanted pictures in current IPhoto 08 Library? Will I have to uninstall IPhoto 08 then go into my finder and start deleting pictures like I used to do whenever I wanted to delete files? Of course, even then I always had blank photos within IPhoto.
BTW, with ILife 08 installed, I have deleted (trashed) all sorts of applications such as iMovie, and iDVD to free up space. This has made barely any difference. My main criteria is to delete HUGE pictures no longer needed in my IPhoto 06 (or rather IPhoto 08 too) Library Folders. Also considering I'm tapped with my current disk space, currently unable to download any programs such as duplicate annihilator, etc.
Hope this isn't to confusing. Any help overwhelmingly appreciated!
Cheers,
June

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Let's get this out of the way:
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
The way to delete pics from iPhoto is to do it in the iPhoto Window. Drag the pics from the Library to the iPhoto trash. iPhoto Menu -> Empty the trash.
Deleting a pic here or there is not going to make a difference to your HD space? How big are these pics? 2 - 5 mb if they're from a point and shoot camera, 10 - 15 from a dslr? Why not move your library to the external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
As you've been mucking about in the iPhoto Library Folder then you'll need to start over and create and populate a new library:
To create and populate a new 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.
To use Photoshop with iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Iphoto froze and now won't work after restarting... help

I uploaded pictures to my MacBook earlier today, and while editing them, iphoto froze. I restarted my laptop and when I opened iphoto, it comes up, but doesn't show anything and gives me the rainbow circle meaning its trying to load. I have restarted my laptop many times now to try to get it to work, and it does the same thing everytime.
I have a MacBook, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. It normally works fine, till I was editing today. Please help!

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
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. .
