IPhoto Library got wiped out by itself?
I was trying to reorganize 2 libraries on my external HD, so I switch my iPhoto to external libraries. Then I was using some other apps. Then all I heard was the internal fan going on steroid and within minutes, the computer froze and told me to hard restart my laptop. I reopen iPhoto and it asked me to pick a library and I selected the one on my internal HD. EVERYTHING WAS GONE!! Check the info on Finder, 6.3MB in size. I did a search on any jpg files... nothing from my library.
Is there anyway I can retrieve my photos? All my graduation pics are on it. PLease help!

iPhoto has no way to wipe out a Library. You had a kernal panic.
In the Finder go to the Go Menu -> Go to Folder and enter /Volumes in the window. Can you see another iPhoto Library there? If so, drag it to the desktop.
If not, search for library6.iphoto. This is the main database file, see if it's been mislaid.
File Salvage can scan a disk for erased pics. You'll need to purchase it to recover them.

My Itunes library got wiped out, no playlists any more. I would like to copy what is on my IPOD back to Itunes because I have purchased a newer IPOD nano. I am not able to drag and drop any of the music on my IPOD to a new playlist name on Itunes.
Restore your iTunes library from your most recent backup of it. If you've not had the foresight to maintain a backup of your library see turingtest2's user tip on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, which lists several methods - some using third-party tools - to accomplish this. There is no facility in iTunes itself to transfer media (other than iTunes Store purchases) from any iDevice to iTunes, and iDevices are not designed or suitable for data storage.

Is there anyway to export the iPod metadata from my iPhone 4? I don't need the music, I have that on an external hard drive, but my backup got wiped out and I need the metadata.
Okay, so I had to re-install iTunes. My iTunes library is currently empty. I can make a new back up and the location of the songs not having changed, these will be available in my library?

Hi,
Recently I got my Iphone unlocked. Earlier I was using it on ATT n/w. After unlock i am using it in India with a service provider here.
The problem that I am getting is, the phone was able to pick up the network and am able to make calls and messages. Data plan is still to be activated so cant confirm on that, but all the apps that were there on my phone got wiped out on its own. Since I wasnt sure as to what happend, so I reinstalled the apps today morning. I saw the apps getting installed and then left to get ready for my office. after nearly 30 mins I saw nothing was getting syncronized so disconnected the phone and left for Office. On reaching office when I checked for my usual Apps, I could see only the apple apps and none other available there. Need to know whats the issue and how to resolve it. Please can someone help me on this?I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where -
from some reason (i'm not sure why..) my whole iphoto library got deleted. I restored the whole library from my backup. Now all the photos are blank but steel have the photo info. (date, res., size etc.) Do you know what's the prob.? why can't i see my pics.
It's says that file does not exist. How come? And why does it still show the image info.?
Where can i find those files (i have a daily backup)
The original image files are missing form your iPhoto library or iPhoto cannot find them, because the link to the originals has been broken. The image info is stored in the internal libraries, independent of the original files. That is, why you are still seeing them.
I restored the whole library from my backup.
Try restoring from an older backup, from before you first noticed the problem.
How large is the library, that you restored? Is the file size large enough to hold all your photos, or has the size been reduced? If the library is still large, the photos may still be inside, even if iPhoto cannot find them.
It's says that file does not exist. How come?
What happened, before your iPhoto library got deleted? Which applications have you been running, or which new software have installed or upgraded? Have you moved the library to a different disk or tried to use it from different user account or access it over the network? -

Unable to insert photos from iPhoto into a Word document. File "iPhoto Library" is greyed out and won't let me choose it.
Choose it from where? See this user tip by Terence Devlin for how to access photos for use outside of iPhoto: How to Access Files in iPhoto
Have you tried dragging the photo from the iPHoto window into the open Word document window?

I created a second iphoto folder on a separate portable hard drive and moved my holiday snaps into it to give me more space on my mac hard drive, but when trying to get some photos for my screen saver the iphoto library is greyed out and I can't select it. Is there a way to select it or change it from being greyed out?
Select system preferences in the dock. Desktop and screensaver, choose folder, jenniferprice/pictures/iphoto library.
Don't choose Folder.
Instead, click on the + at the bottom and look for the Media heading on your left. Select iPhoto there. -

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
On your mum's iPhone go to Settings > General > About > Name - put in your mum's name so that iTunes can tell them apart. -
My iPhone got wiped out and I need to get a few songs back.. How?
To make a long story short, my iPhone got wiped out last night, and I had to reinstall all of my apps and everything. So I did all of that, and now I need to get some songs back that I purchased on my phone and did not yet put on my computer.
Is there a way to get those songs back for free, or do I need to pay for them again?I would like to know about this too. Cause I actually bought some cds off my iphone and then I bought some more and it deleted the previous cds I had bought off my iphone. And if I go to buy the ones that got erased it says I've already bought them and ask if I'm sure I want to buy them and what not. As the person before me is their anyway to get those back without paying for them again, which would be bulls* if I have to.

Hi everyone
Ever since my iphoto library crashed (ran out of space without warning) my mcbook pro has been slow, unresponsive, freezes in sleep mode and won't restart...
I've since backed everything up on an external hard drive, removed the corrupt library, even reinstalled the operating software and there is now hardly anything on the hard drive, it still runs painfully slow. If I close the lid which puts it in sleep mode, it either doesn't go into sleep mode but instead the battery just gets drained and I find it completely empty of power (it won't start again unless plugged in), or it goes into sleep mode but just freezes when I try to reopen.
In iphoto (reinstalled) but even other applications it is painfully slow, not like a mac at all!
I am trying to go to genius bar with it but thinking maybe someone in this forum can help...
Many thanks
AndreHave you tried SMC and PRAM resets?

Somehow my pictures in the iPhoto library are blanked out
I have just been updated my Mac and the iphoto to 11 v. 9.2. I have switched to iCloud and is now using photostream. I had a lot of pics I started streaming and during I was editing the pics. from our vaction. Suddenly I'm told that the iPhoto library has an error and needs to be updated. I let the MAC do so, and then suddenly all my pictures in my iPhoto are blanked out. At this time all my 1000 pics are still not all streamed, but iPhoto it is still streaming though I can't see any pictures in the photolibrary??? I can only see empty squares where the pics were supposed to be. I then check my iPhone and I see that pictures at still streamed from iPhoto. Then I search for my pics in "Finder" and it seems they are still there however I would like to get them back in the same order as before?? Also I made a half made photobook, but the pictures in the book are also blanked out? Can anyone help?
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. .

Blackberry got WIPED OUT HELP!!! PLEASE
Hi there, ok so I did something stupid. I put the wrong password in and my blackberry totally wiped itself out. ( I guess it's a safety feature so no one gets my information if stolen) and I lost everything. Tried to take battery out so it wouldn't keep wiping out but didnt' work. Now it says JUM Error 513 (Reset) can someone PLEASE help me? Thanks very much!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Not good... do you have a recent or not so recent backup of your device?
I would recommend that you download the OS for your BlackBerry model, connect your BB via USB to your PC and follow the instructions for YOUR specific model of BB, found at the top of this link... one of those highlighted in yellow that state "attention"...

Upgrading iPhoto Library keeps stalling out
New MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9.1
Restored from Time Machine back-up on a firewire drive, from a 17" MBP using Snow Leopard.
iPhoto 9.5.1
When I open up iPhoto it says the Library has to be upgraded. I click on upgrade, the blue bar goes almost all the way across, then stalls, then iPhoto stops responding. Here is the beginning of the trouble report:

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.
