Iphoto hid my pictures when i opened a CD of pictures in iphoto

I put in my sisters wedding picture cd and iphoto asked me for an update, i clicked yes, now all 5,000 of my pictures are no longer in iPhoto, but they slide thru on my desktop pictures. They only pictures in iphoto are the 382 from her CD......I am not very smart with my Mac, my recent ex husband took care of all things Mac and I am just learning

WHt version of iPhoto?

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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.

  • I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

    I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

    I never tried importing from the iPhoto library as referenced images. I wonder if Aperture can access images stored in an iPhoto library package?  Even if it would work, it sounds like a bad thing to do.
    You might consider starting over and this time have Aperture manage the images.  That will copy them to the Aperture library, leaving the iPhoto library untouched. This assumes you have sufficient space to make a complete copy of all the images in your iPhoto library plus another copy of each image that Aperture makes as the preview image. You can then back up your iPhoto library (two backup copies, just to be sure) then remove it from your hard drive when you start getting too low on space.  As I write this I don't know where your iPhoto or Aperture libraries are/will be located so I'm assuming you have them on your HD.

  • IPhoto broken - Empty window when I open the application - Help needed

    Hi Guys,
    Since my upgrade to Snow Leopard my iPhoto 09 has been completely broken. What I get when I start it up is an empty window. No pictures on the right pane and no menus on the left pane. I read many threads about iPhoto issues, and so I have tried to rebuild the library, reinstall iPhoto from the disk I got with my mac. Still the same problem: On startup, iPhoto opens with a completely blank window. All I have are the three buttons at the bottom left side of the window (+, info and enlarge). Only if I click "+" to add a new album the menus on the left pane (events, photos...) appear. A few clicks on these menus and iPhoto crashes. All this, done with a new, clean library. I moved the old one, and keep it for the day I'll get iPhoto to work again. Hope you guys can help. This is painfully frustrating.

    Thanks for help Terrence
    I am using Suitcase Fusion 2 and just activitating Helvetica Neue in Suitcase seemed to fix this problem I have had for several months.
    I highly recommend doing the activation in Suitcase instead of just droping it into the System Fonts folder. This will allow for Suitcase to activate or deactivate the font. If you put the font into one of your folders, Suitcase can not deactivate, which might be necessary if your job uses a different version of Helvetica Neue.

  • When I open a template the pictures are in negative !

    When I open any template ie an invitation, the pictures are in purple negative as are any I drag and drop. Any ideas out there?

    I'm not sure if this is the same as the purple text many users see if they haven't updated both Snow Leopard & iWork but these two things to do that solve a lot of problems with the iWork ’08 &/or ’09 apps in Snow Leopard.
    First, use the Mac OS 10.6.8 combo updater. This fixes a problem with fonts that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2).
    Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.1 & Numbers 2.1. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    Also, deleting the program's preference list is the #1 trouble-shooting step with any misbehaving application. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist, empty the Trash & then restart Pages. Repeat with Numbers & Keynote. This needs to be done for each user.

  • Why does it not show all the pictures when i open myspace

    Hello,
    I have apple mac pro desktop. When i open some profile on www.myspace.com, does my computer not show all pictures on that profile site. Can some one tell me if i need to download some software or plugin to see all pictures on the pages. I use safari beta.

    Hello deniz aya,
    Welcome to Apple discussions..
    No, you do not need additional software to view the pic, myspace is just not very mac friendly, as they say ( long time coming) they are working on it.
    Myspace pages can be a nightmare, a couple of my friends pages for instance
    have been known to crash my Safari beta & when on version S 2.
    Try using Firefox as well, the "other" browser they recommend other then Safari
    for Mac users, albeit they do not say which version of Safari to use.
    Check pages including the one you have an issue viewing the pics on with the http://validator.w3.org/ to get an idea of how poorly coded they are.
    Eme '~[ ) 
    I just checked my page which has not half the items that other pages use & it Failed validation, 91 Errors, one of my friends pages failed with 490 odd........
    Of course I presume you have flash, as mentioned by QuickTimeKirk.
    To check, in Safari under the Help menu, click on -> Installed plug-ins.
    and check for Flash player.
    Under Safari menu, Safari's preferences, Security tab- Web Content: you have Enable Plug-ins checked correct?

  • I ran un update to iPhoto as instructed but when done I had no Event Pictures to the right of my Albums..just Palm Trees...how can I fix this?

    I updated an old IPhoto library to work with the lastest Iphoto update as instructed. I lost all my "Event Pictures" and have just Palm Tree graphics? What to do?
    How do I redo this? What went wrong..can I chnage a setting? This library is on an External drive. Here is path.. Usres/Jeff H Dubiel, desktop/iphoto Library (original)/restored Files 2 copy/Mac HD/users/Jeff H Dubiel/Pictures/IPhoto Library(original).. 71 GB 14,000 photo's,352 events..not sure how accurate that is with duplicates etc. Also all updates installed.
    Also on another Library I need updated it "hangs" if I try to update it. Can I use earlier Iphoto versions somehow on these?
    Thanks

    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    Note:
    hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto.
    If you're getting the options you refer to you're not holding the command key as well.

  • Old Iphoto book was changed when I opened it. How to revert back?

    I have 2 previous Iphoto books that I made and now I have Iphoto11. When I clicked to open one of the books, Iphoto11 totally changed the book and made it into a new version. How do I get the old version back the way I had it?

    You can't.  Evidently the themes that you had used in the previous version of iPhoto are not available in iPhoto 11.  The only way you can get that particular theme back is if you have a backup copy of the older library and can install and run the previous verson of iPhoto.  However, depending on the version of iPhoto, you may not be able to order a copy.

  • IPhoto pics are black when I open them in iMovie HD

    Hi there,
    When we are in iMovie HD, we go to media, iPhoto, and pick a picture. But then, when we insert it into our movie, it turns black. Can anyone help right away. We would like to figure this out right,as we are in the middle of a project.
    Thanks,
    Kim

    Hi momto11 - (I think you are actually using iMovie HD 6, for which there is a different iMovie forum.)
    I wonder if you have done some editing of the pics subsequent to the original placing of them? iMovie 6 has a bug which causes this to happen if the iMovie trash has been emptied.
    If that is your problem, then you must do one of these:
    1. Do not empty the trash.
    2. Drag the original version of the pic from the iMovie trash back onto the Clips Pane.
    3. Re-import the original from iPhoto or where-ever.
    Of course the cause of your particular problem may be quite different - only guessing!
    Perhaps you could explain exactly the steps you are making.

  • When I open or paste a picture into Photoshop, the picture appears darker than it was originally.

    It doesn't matter whether or not I copy and paste the picture into the program, or if I save it first and then open it through Photoshop. The picture appears darker and more contrasted than the original does. I've never had this problem until today.

    I'm just trying to use this picture, but when the problem arose I tested multiple pictures from various websites and from my own collection to see if it was just the picture or Photoshop itself. All of the pictures I tested had the same problem. Here's exactly what is happening to the picture: this is the original, and this is what it looks like once I open it into Photoshop. As for my color settings, here's what they are right now. I have never changed them from what they were originally.

    Hello,
    I've also noticed a similar problem. Mostly it's just strange raster around the image if the window is larger than the image. Sometimes it fills the thumbnail area or messes up the menubar.
    This problem seemed to occur after updating to Mac OS X v10.5.7.
    I have tried trashing the Previews prefs files but that didn't help.
    Any thoughts much appreciated!
