Iphoto problem on a new mac

I downloaded pictures to iphoto into a new event on a new imac. When I click on Events the album comes up. The thumbnail photos are there when I double click on the event but when I double click on a photo I get a black background, white circle with a black exclamation point. If I select 'edit' I can see the pics but go no farther.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
This indicates that the iPhoto database has lost its path to the HiRes photo - it is often caused by user activity inside the iPhoto library package - have you made any changed to the iPhoto library via the finder?
If you have not try rebuilding the library - launch Iphoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the rebuild dialogue to rebuils - select the first three options

    How did you search for the iPhoto Library?
    What do you mean by "is gone"?  Is the iPhoto Library missing from the Pictures folder?  Or does iPhoto launch and show and empty library, and you assume, that the library is missing?
    Which version of iPhoto is installed on your old Mac?
    Search with Find Any File for iPhoto Libraries -  download Find Any File here: The trial is free:
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.htmlhttp://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php
    You can search everywhere with FindAnyFile, where Spotlight will not search. 
    I learned this  from Old Toad , see his post here:
    Re: My iPhoto Library disappeared...how do I get it back?
    Download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. These are files common to all versions of  iPhoto libraries.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

  • Moving Events and iPhoto library to a new Mac

    I just picked up a new Mini for my HTPC. I would like to move the Events and photos that I already have on my other Macs to the new one. I exported all of the photos to a flash drive and then imported them in on the new Mini, but of course it just imported the photos. It did not organize them at all.
    Bottom line, is there any way to move my existing library over to a new Mac without having to re-label all events and stuff like that?
    Thanks guys,
    Steve

    I lost my iphoto Library when I was moving all my files over to my Mac Mini. I had a clean mini with Leopard and had my photo library on my external only. I was messing around with the Time machine and i think it did a back up which I stopped right away, but I think it deleted the iPhoto library and my iTunes library.(the mini probably had an empty iPhoto library) So now I used Data rescue to try and find it and all of the files from that external are on my mini's desktop with just numbered jpeg files & mp3 files.One folder says recovered music & recovered pictures. Of course there is nothing that says iphoto library and all the files are so mixed up.I have been going thru all the photos and just dragging them in, but it is getting so tedious....Help! Oh, and the photos are very pixelaed now....would that be because they are just jpeg files....I am not sure if they were prior to this whole problem. I have a feeling there is no way around this. Thanks in advance. Robin

  • Question re: Copying an old iPhoto Library to a new Mac

    Hi -
    I have an old, G5 PowerPC iMac, running OSX 10.4.11 and iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5), and a new (2013) MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.3 and iPhoto version 9.5.1.
    I'd like to know if I'd have any problems copying the old iPhoto Library (22 GB) from the G5 iMac to the new MacBook Pro.  I'm concerned that the great difference in versions would prevent the library from updating to the current version once it is copied.  Thanks for any information or help anyone can provide.  Thanks,
    Shelly

    Copy the library to your new Mac.
    To be able to upgrade it to iPhoto '11  run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on your newer Mac, see this document:

I have over 300 gb listed as other on the new computer- at one point it was purple and categorized as backup but now it says other- can anyone help me?
    my computer is running super slow now because of it and i just spent over 2000 dollars on this yesterday and I cant find anything in apple support to help me. i already tried looking through all the files and used the omni disk sweeper.

  • How can I import Iphoto license to a new mac ?

    Hi.
    I recently bought a new MacBook Air (in addition to the current MacBook Pro I have).
    I want to put my pictures in Iphoto in the new mac but found out I don't have Iphoto in the new machine and in order to get it I need to buy.
    Is there any way to import the license from my old computer? or I need to pay for every time I want to use in a new machine?
    Thanks!

    A new MBA comes with iPhoto:
    Contact Apple support and have them assist you.
    Ciao.

  • Problems configuring my new Mac

    When I was configuring my new MacBook Pro, in the step of migrate my files to my old PC to the Mac, the PC turned off and my Mac is now blocked. How can I solve this problem?

    I'm also planning to upgrade to a new Mac Pro, and just waiting for newest Intel "Penryn" processors:
    http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/
    Having eSATA ports for external eSATA drives would be great.
    I will go with a RAID, but haven't decided on the configuration - I'm thinking of having 3 or 4 drives in RAID 5; I perceive a benefit in going with the Apple RAID card rather than a cheaper third party card - it's designed to work well with the Mac Pro and with Apple Care you'd get warranty coverage. Can't decide if it's better to save money and buy drives from a third party (and maybe end up with them not covered by Apple Care), or to pay more and get the drives with the machine.
    I got burned many years ago by four failed IBM 75GXP hard drives, so I think choosing a reliable hard drive is very important; I'll probably go with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 or Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000. Great info here:
    http://www.storagereview.com/1000.sr
    Good RAID tests results:
    http://www.macintouch.com/reviews/macpro/followup.html

  • Rendering problems on the new Mac Pro with premier CC

    Previosuly on my iMac, periodically i got strange green compression and distortion on my exports, especially when converting from native canon 5D files to say another format such as quicktime. Now I've upgraded to the new MAC PRO and things are way worse, random distortion, artefacts and coloration is appearing in my final renders, this is almost making my workflow come to a stop. Anyone having same problems? any solutions from Adobe?
    I found that deleting the preview files and rendering helps sometimes, but surely this is a terrible bug that needs to be fixed
    in preview
    and in the exported movie
    and even crazy inverted style colours like this
    help!

    Ditto. I have recently been getting the same problem on export from Premiere.
    There's another thread here - Mac Pro Render & Export Glitching...: Apple Support Communities -
    Any idea Adobe as this seems to be getting worse and is costing me.

  • Anyone having a crashing problem with the new Mac Pro?

    I have a new Mac Pro purchased in January.  I bought it as a front end to my very large mp3 library (170,000 mp3s and over 2,000 mp4s; media is housed on a 12 TB QNAP NAS).  Since day 1 it has been a major problem.  The biggest problem I have now is random crashing--can occur any time even when I am not even using the Mac Pro, making it totally unreliable and a $5,200 paperweight.
    I have had several Apple Care people working on this, but after having been passed around to 5-6 different people, they still have no solution.
    Anybody having a similar problem?

    As today I'm sure I'll not make the purchase again.
    The more I look into this problem, the more people and articles I find about it: and it's more than a month and no update to fix the problem.
    PC alternatives are far more interesting and they still give you the choice of building your machine.
    Apple was amazing 15 years ago, where is the team of developpers that created the old Mac Pro?!
    I want to be optimistic too, but I'm already collecting all the info on how to build an backup machine... since I'm using Adobe CC and other interchangeable softwares, there is no more problems swithcing from Mac to PC and vice-versa.
    I hope there will be a third contender entering the market soon, with a dream computer on Linux. I am on mac because of its reputation 20 years ago, but times are changing and Apple vision seems very different now.
    I'm afraid that WWDC will not announce a thing relevant for the MacPro or computers, we got used now to ear only about phones and tablets...

  • Move from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 11 on a new Mac

    How do I go about moving from iPhotp 5 on a G4 to iPhoto 11 on a MacBook Pro?

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • How to export iphoto library to my new mac

    I just got a new mac and want to transfer my old iphoto and itunes libraries to my new mac.  What is the best way to do that?

    Connect the two computers together via a network or FireWire target mode or USB and drag the iPhoto library from the old computer to the pictures folder of the new and launch iPhoto
    ITunes is probable similar but the iTunes forum is the place to find out

  • I'm trying to transfer my iPhoto library to a new mac and I can't find the library on my old mac.

    When I "revel in finder" a photo in my iPhoto app on my old mac, it shows the path: hard drive, user, meghanica, library, iphoto library and so on. BUT when I go to my hard drive and try to follow that path on my laptop, there is no "library" folder to open in meghanica. I have tried to spolight the library folder with no luck. All of my photos that I've looked at in iPhoto show this path. I can't figure out why when I go to my hard drive, it's not there. Any ideas? I'm using updated iPhoto '11 on os x Lion on a macbook pro. Thanks!

    It sounds like the library might have been placed in your Home/Library folder which is invisible.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For  Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    When you find the iPhoto library move it to your Pictures folder.
