IPhoto is empty after installing Photoshop

I installed Adobe Photoshop CS2 v9 last night and when I opened iPhoto ALL 2000+ photos are gone!! Any idea if they are still on my computer somewhere and how I can get them back into iPhoto. Other than a warning to close all other adobe applications, I did not see a warning that iphoto would be changed in any way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no way that installing PS would have caused such a result.
First, use the finder to confirm the presence of the library folder. If you've never moved it, it should be in your Pictures folder. If you see more than one (perhaps with a "-1" as part of the name), that's your problem. For reasons unknown, iPhoto created a brand new (empty) library. By the way, don't open the library - just look for it.
After confirming that the library is present, start up iPhoto while holding down the Option key. When you get the menu, direct it to the library that does not have the "-1" as part of the name.
Post back with results.

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything!

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything! It used to crash when importing but now I'm at the point where I open the software and after 2 seconds it crashes (nothing connected either). What to do? Can't access any photos

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create a new library and import some test photos then the problem lies with your original library.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library 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.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager 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 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. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If iPhoto crashes while trying to create a new library then try this:
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that fails to help a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all relavant updaters.
P.S. If you're still running Tiger, 10.4.6, then the above may not apply. If you're running a newer system you should update your profile so we have a better idea of where you're at.

Hi Hardy Tasso,
Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
Please try:

Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11. Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11. Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open images directly from iPhoto. Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos in iPhoto 11. Nothing

Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11.
Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11. Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
images directly from iPhoto. Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
in iPhoto 11. Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank.
And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6 to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
Please advise. Glenys

This may be of help to you:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

New Bitmap missing from context menu after installing photoshop

After installing photoshop CS6 from CD onto Windows 7x64; my context menu > New > bitmap is no longer available. registry settings are intact and I've used Bridge ro reassociate .bmp with mspaint but the option still does not appear. The installation of photoshop is the only change to the computer in several months.
I can workaround by creating new txt files and changing the extension but this adds a step to a (non photoshop related) workflow that's been in place and worked well for years.

I don't know why Photoshop would kill the system default entry for new bitmap - possibly because it has associated itself with that file type.
First thing to look at - start Adobe Bridge CS6, go into the Edit - Preferences - File Type Associations dialog, and see if you can re-associate MSPAINT.EXE with the BMP format. That may correct the issue, but I can't say for certain as I don't want to try it here and change my own setup.
I don't use the New context menu functionality for making new bitmaps myself, but when I looked to see what shows up in my New context menu, I found this:
Choosing the IrfanView BMP File entry led to this:
If you can't recover the old functionality via the Bridge settings, it may be that you can install the freeware viewer IrfanView and have it associate itself with the BMP file type.

Premiere pro cc cloud problems, after installing photoshop I lost all my premiere files!!!!

Hi,
after installing photoshop, I lsot all my premiere pro data, even autosafe and stuff. I do back up but I didn;t for past 4 days and lsot hours of work. Do you have any idea what is the problem? I have single program subscription and use photoshop trial.
Thanks

Yes, an Archive and Install will not erase the disk or your files. If you use the option to preserve user accounts and preferences those will be transferred into the newly created system. However, your existing system is a failed installation so if you do another Archive and Install it cannot transfer your user account because it is not in the existing system. Plus you will need sufficient free space on the hard drive for yet another system - about 6-8 GBs.
Once you backup your personal data and your Home folder, I would suggest you just erase the hard drive, reinstall OS X from scratch, then copy your Home folder backup to the newly installed system. These articles, How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install and Mac OS X- How to recover a home folder (directory), explain the process. Although written for an Archive and Install scenario it is essentially the same procedure you would have to follow.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.

After installing Photoshop Elements 10, it shuts down

After the first time this happened, I deleted and then reinstalled Photoshop Elements 10. But, the problem persists.
After it the program opens and I select Edit, the program opens completely and then, immediately appears an error message from Windows 7, saying that Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 no longer works. I'm asked to click on the button to close the program.
What should I try next?

Unfortunately, the document you suggested does not cover my situation. After I have downloaded, installed and registered Photoshop Elements 10, my problem only occurs when I have opened the program, and I’m presented the option to ‘organize’ or ‘edit’. I click on ‘edit’ and immediately after the program loads and opens, I get a system error message that “Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 no longer is working.” I’m requested to shut the program off. I do see that my ESET Smart Security 4 software scans for a moment before the error message appears, it that says anything to you. However, installing Photoshop on my other computer, with the same ESET software, had no problem.

Bridge is very slow after installing Photoshop CC

I just installed Photoshop CC last night and today Bridge is VERY slow. Every folder I open even if I opened it yesterday has to build some kind of an index.
Also it keeps crashing it never crashed before.

Yes I understand that my point is it only started to do this after I installed Photoshop CC. I have been using bridge CS6 for 3 months and it has never been this slow or crash. IT crashed 5 times today.
Note if you are using the Creeative cloud you may not know this but every 3 months you will have to log in and re accept all the licenses for all the products you open and want to run again, every 3 months. I just learned that today as well.

After installing Photoshop CC 2014 all "Open With" references are gone?

Hi!
I installed Photoshop CC 2014 and uninstalled Photoshop CC.
I also check the Bridge -> Preferences -> File association settings: There is always "Photoshop" mentioned. So far it looks fine.
So no NEF or PSD file are linked to Photoshop CC 2014. Neither it is displayed in the "Open With" dialog. But Photoshop CC 2014 should be displayed there.
I would like to add any screenshots here, but the add image dialog showns me only an empty dialog :-(
So please fix that issue.
Actually, I've to open the file by starting Photoshop and navigate to the files all the time. That is really annoying.
Regards

No one?
I would really need help about this.
I can't believe that no one had this problem.
Thank you

Any more information for us out there? Any error messages, strange things,etc, etc, etc. Telling someone that it did not work is not much to go on
I guess one answer is to do it again correctly - but then that would be about as useful as your question was

IPhoto not working after installing Yosemite

After installing Yosemite the iPhoto icon on the dock has a circle/line symbol superimposed. Get a message saying iPhoto needs to be updated, but when I try to update I get "Update unavailable for this Apple ID." (I have used my current Apple ID at least since 2011, and have used it to update iPhoto previously.)

Right, App Store Support solved my problem.(iPhoto & iMovie were packaged with my iMac when I bought it. Upgrading from Mountain Lion to Yosemite wiped that out, and these apps did not show up in my purchased list. This would not have happened if Maverick had been installed prior to Yosemite.)

Aperture fails to open after installing Photoshop CS5

Aperture fails to open and I cannot access my photo files. This happened after I installed Photoshop CS5. I uninstalled CS5, and have not reinstalled. I uninstalled Aperture and reinstalled it but nothing changed.
I searched the forums and could not find anything similar.
Aperture is stored on my hard drive, my iBook and on an eternal hard drive as well. On my iBook there are 5 Aperture aliases (and the Aperture Library), which I don't understand.
Is there anybody with advice on this matter?
Thanks,
Patricia

Patricia,
Below some of your posts, but not all, your system configuration is listed as a Power PC G4 with 10.4.2 -- you should eliminate this info.
When you had CS5 installed, and in Aperture Preferences/Export, was Photoshop CS5 offered as a choice for external editor, or could you not get that far?
It might be that you would only need to purge the preference file for Aperture to make this work, and I would not have really expected CS5 to not work. Did you have another app for use as External Editor before installing CS5?

Remote desktop no longer connects after installing Photoshop CS3

Hi,
Last week I downloaded and installed the Photoshop CS 3 extended trial on a PC that I regularly connect to via remote desktop. After Photoshop had finished installing, I could no longer connect to that machine (Its running Windows XP SP3) through remote desktop.
Searching on this issue has quickly brought up the fact that CS3 installs Apple's Bonjour service and that has been known to cause connectivity problems for other users. I removed Bonjour by following the guide here (http://www.x64bit.net/site/board/index.php?s=888c3f3673c453dcc972decd6e67e8e0&showtopic= 4214&st=0&p=40719&#entry40719) and reset the Winsock catalog (netsh winsock reset).
Unfortunately I still am unable to connect to that machine with remote desktop. These two machines are connected through a gigabit switch (nothing tricky at all) and it had been working flawlessly until I installed Photoshop CS3. Now when i enter the computer name in the remote desktop connection box and click "Connect", it shows activity (the colored bar moves) and then the connect button returns to its default state and nothing happens. No error messages or anything.
I have searched Apple's forums and found users on various message boards report this same issue, but none seem to have a resolution (aside from re-installing the OS, which doesn't resolve anything if you end up re-installing CS3). Is anyone familiar with this issue and found a solution? If so, I would love to hear it!
Thanks!

I have the same exact issue right now. We purchased CS3 Master Collection and some - not all - of the machines are now refusing a RDP session. I looked in to the Bonjour service problem but it doesnt seem to be the issue. Other machines with the same service work fine.
Anyone have an idea?
Has Adobe addressed this at all. I am aware that more than just the two of us have experienced this issue.
