IPhoto has lost an event

Had to replace my hard disk on iMac and was able to successfully restore from timecapsule/time machine. I checked for recently added pictures and all were present, I then upgraded from iPhoto9 to iPhoto11 as prompted by the application, after which one of the recently added events (but previously recovered) disappeared. I have the pictures on my iphone5 as I have not synced my photo's on this since upgrading to iPhoto11, but the pics have been removed from my ipod touch and ipad when they synched. I am confident the pics are on my timecapsule and so should be possible to recover them, but it is not clear a) how i can look or search for individual photo files within the iphoto library, I assume there must be a way of doing so but it is not apparently obvious.
Clearly the issue was caused by upgrading to iPhoto11. Does anyone know how I can find individual photos via finder and how I can search and recover photos from time-machine from my timecapsule.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Michael,

In the Event Mode set the View options as follows:
Then look at the top/beginning of the list of Events for your missing Event. 
If you stil can't find the photos and in case the photos are still in the library package but iPhoto has lost connection with it try the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
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 Home/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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Iphoto has lost event titles

    When I did my last back up I also upgraded iTunes.  I now find that iPhoto has lost all the event titles - originally merging all events into one, but AUTOSPLIT has separated them, although not into the original list, and dates only - no titles.  I have a copy of the originals on a back up drive.  Is it possible to restore from that and recover the titles?

    The Event titles? You can't restore them unless you have a back up of the iPhoto Library and not just the original files. Do you?

  • ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

    iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
    I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
    PLEASE HELP.   

    Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
    Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
    Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

  • Iphotos has lost all my photos

    Iphotos has lost all my photos, I've tried importing them from the libary but it keeps telling me it doesn't recognise it or the files can't be imported???? Ive also tried Iphone libary manager to retrieve the photos with no luck.

    Sorry but you need to provide details
    What version of iPhoto and of the OS? What recently changed?
    With no information the only possible solution is to restore yoru backup from just before what ever happened happened

  • I am running iPhoto version 9.6 on a 2012 iMac using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. One event in iPhoto has lost all photo information, and the photos are viewed very small.

    One event in iPhoto version 9.6 has lost all the original photo information, and views the photos as very small.

    How did you transfer the library to the new Mac?

  • Iphoto has lost connection with its folder

    Hello,
    One day I turned on my mac, opened iPhoto and found it empty. I've read various threads and know not to be alarmed as I can see the folder of my pics is still there.
    I am however having trouble re-connecting iPhoto to this folder. In the past iPhoto has sorted the folder into numerous sub-folders accredited to the year in which the photos were taken. I cannot connect to the main folder that will include these sub-folders. It always wants me to connect iphoto to a folder with only pics in and not a folder with other folders inside.
    Am I going to have to go through the laborious business of moving all my photos into a single folder that will then communiacate with iphoto?
    Thanks.

    See if you can rebuild your library with iPhoto Library Manager 3.
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto  8.1.2 and later  or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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 (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) option.
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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.

  • IPhoto 9.1.5 has lost all Events with Lion

    After updating to Lion, I'm finding that all my Events in iPhoto are now gone.  All that shows is one Event group with all my photos.
    Any easy way to get my Events back the way they were?
    Can I try using Time Machine to get them back?

  • Iphoto has greyed out events with 0 photos

    Perhaps this is baby steps but I've got istream up and running on my macbook air. 
    At the moment I have pictures taken in November which have events that are greyed out and say 0 photos. When I click on them the photos appear but I don't know how to make sure that they are going to stay?  Have I exceeded the 30 day stream time but I these are in the last 1000 photos?  If so, what to do to bring them in permanently?
    My next step is to break down my huge library on my old mac and bring it over here and pitch it. That library is more than 60GB so I will want to move the meta data and whatever labeling etc I have done on my old iphoto.   I tried file export but I lose the event clustering so I think I have to chop it up into little libraries and then move those over.  I don't have a need to merge libraries after that.
    Am I making sense?
    THANKS

  • IPhotos has lost my Photos when upgrading to Yosemite

    When I upgraded to Yosemite like many people I have seen on forums there was a issue with upgrading the iPhoto library when upgrading to 9.6.  Finally it looked like it had worked but now all of my photos do not appear in iPhoto.  The files seem to be there still as the iPhoto library file is still1.26TB in size (i have a lot of photos).  I have tried doing a full rebuild of the Library but it did nothing.  I also purchased iPhoto Library Manager but this does not help either.  Please can anyone help?
    I am using iPhoto 9.6, OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) on a iMac (27-inch, Late 2013).  The Library is stored on a "My Book Thunderbolt Duo", 8TB in raid 1 configuration.

    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 has lost my photo library?!

    iPhoto says I have 6000 photos, which I do, but only 800 appear anywhere on the site. One day they were there and a couple weeks later, the next time I wanted to get to them, they were gone. Help?

    I have an aperture library of work photos and 2 of my personal photos. And what's on the cloud. And don't even get me started on Dropbox, which imported every work photo I have two, three, sometimes four times, thereby maxing out my dropbox account--and I had told it no before it took them all. At least it only took the work photos. Trying to get them off is an absolute nightmare.

  • IPhoto library can't be repaired.  IPhoto has lost 3989 photographs and videos.  Why?  And, how to fix?

    Where are the library files for iPhoto located?   How do I get to the data file?  

    Sorry I personally have no idea how to fix your problem with iPhoto.
    But in the future, if you can retrieve your image and video files and for all newer files you create or acquire, it would be best to not let iPhoto import your image and video files into the iPhoto Library folder structure and instead copy your image and video files to a folder on your drive then set iPhoto to only create a Librarty database of those files and to have iPhoto Leave the files where you put them.
    At least then when, not if, iPhoto fails again you will still have all your files in the folder or folders you place them in.
    That is a setting in iPhoto to NOT import images into it Library folders. I forget the exact naming of that option as I'm not on my Mac at this time so I can't look it up.
    Also you should consider using Time Machine, if you haven't already, to backup your system for just this type of problem.
    Good Luck & Best Wishes.

  • IPhoto has lost the link to the photo library

    When I open iPhoto, it not longer pulls in my photo library.  I have a 2010 13 inch MacBook running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3.  I don't know what caused it; I have done no recent updates.  I have backed up everything on a separate hard drive and also have a time machine backup.
    I can tell that my photos are still on the computer because of the space that is taken up, but when I try to open photo library, it won't open.  Please help, too many photos that I don't want to lose.

    Download and use  Find Any File  to search for a file named "Library6.iPhoto".  It's a file that is in every iPhoto library.  FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages.  If your library is somewhere on the hard drive FAF will find it.

  • IPhoto has empty events

    Hello,
    iPhoto has 2 empty events, no images at all in them, can't delete them. What should I do?
    David.

      It wasn't as obvious as it sounds..  I had two empty events and had to look around some myself..

  • Iphoto recent upgrade - all Events gone. Photos there, sorted only by date. No events

    Since the recent upgrade, the new iPhoto has eliminated all Events. The photos are there (I think they all are, but not sure) but there are no events, the photos are all just sorted by date (no titles/events). I had just finished organizing all Events days before the upgrade.
    Not happy with this upgrade.

    KEY WORDS: "until it's resolved"
    Rest assured, the new Photos lack of ability to automatically add new photos as "Events" will be resolved in much the same way that many unwanted, unneeded, and for some users, workflow-crippling changes to Apple operating systems and related software are ever resolved:
    1. Apple will do nothing. If few people complain through the proper channels via Feedback, the product will remain as is, and users will either eventually adapt to the new organizing schemes, or will find and use another product that better fit our ways of thinking, manipulating, and organizing our digital images, all shaped by our existing libraries of images that were in iPhoto.
    -OR-
    2. If enough authentic and specific complaints (in the low millions, at least) are sent promptly and directly to Apple via Feedback, and if the complaints are precise and persistent, and continue relentlessly over a period of years, then some similar capability MIGHT be added later, in some future update, in a couple of years.  (Think OS X 10.13.1, "Ellis Island" or whatever geographic icon that future iteration might be named after. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to import their digital images directly into "Events" once again…)
    (There are of course many other possible scenarios, none of which involve returning iPhoto to the marketplace, nor "fixing" Photos to be like iPhoto was.)
    Not complaining*, simply explaining.
    *Because registering outrage and frustration by complaining here in Apple Support Communities does absolutely nothing to ever resolve any issue with Apple. This is a only a user community that Apple allows to exist at it's pleasure. Apple does not officially monitor or ever officially respond to feedback here, and the moderators do not tolerate rants.

  • IPhoto library has lost all my landscape photos.

    Hi,  My iPhoto library has lost all my landscape photos (the thumbnails are there, but no photos when you try to slide show them). 
    I've tried reverting to original and restoring the library.  No luck.
    I have them all in a back up outside of iPhoto - as individual jpg files.  Can Iphoto help to re-import the missing ones bring them back into the library? 
    I'm hoping to avoid having to start from scratch!!! 
    I don't know what caused the issues - I haven't made any changes to the back end!!!
    Thanks.

    If that doesn't help...
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
