This article recommends rebuilding the iPhoto Library but emphasizes having a backup first. Do you have one?

    Is it still charging if you connect it to the adapter? If yes, let it charge for about 10min, then connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained in this article:

  • Files were there, now they're gone...

    I've been working for a few weeks on a movie, using clips from 2009 - present. I got up to 2013 last week, then left town for the weekend. When I came back and tried to resume work, I noticed when I tried to add new clips, I was getting "Missing File" alerts. I could view the clips in the Event section, but as soon as I dragged it to the Project section, they went black.
    Even more upsetting, when I scrolled back along my movie timeline, I discovered several of the clips I added a week or two ago have now turned black, with the Missing File alert tied to them, as well (they were playing just fine when I added them. I know 100% they were not deleted from iMovie by anyone in my family.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Why do i have to purchase an updated iPhoto version? I thought all updates were free now.

    Updates (first digit of version does not change)  to iPhoto are free - upgrades (first digit does change) are not - they must be purchased

    I have an old Mac Book Pro (OSX 10.5.8) and I want to switch the iPhoto "Events" and all pictures/video in each "event" to my newer Mac Book Pro (OSX 10.7.5).  How do I do this?  So far, when I transferred my photos, they are all in one jumbled mess

    If you wan to merge 2 library incase you can try this iPhoto Library Manager.

    That's how it is supposed to work.
    Older photos will need to be transferred manually using a sync cable.

  • When I click on iPhoto icon I get a box that reads "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto."  Whether I hit Quit or Upgrade the problem is not fixed.  Any suggestions?  Yes, I have tried Command Option iPhoto..no luck.

    Assuming iPhoto 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 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.

  • IPhoto project will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process. Christmas gift, really need to get this done, have worked MANY hours on putting it together. Please help!

    Iphoto book will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process?

    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 fix below:
    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.
    After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book.  If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

    My iPhone 6 is only getting 3, sometimes 2 bars on my wifi....and its slow.....my 4s got 5 bars all the time on my home wifi.....any suggestions?

    Did you actually read what was written.
    The poster stated his/her WiFi is slower not cellular data.
    To original poster go here: http://www.apple.com/support/iPhone
    There has been posts claiming that your router works on 2.4 MHz. Versus the 5 MHz. Available on A/C/B/G/N wireless routers.
    See if a solution has been found other than switching to 2.4
    Good Luck

    I would suggest trying to do what I call a "forced reboot". Hold the home and power buttons down and see if that works. Also try entering in a wifi network: settings->Wifi->Other and enter in all the info and see if that works.
