Hi Dazza9999,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're only seeing black squares in Faces after upgrading, I suggest using the Photo Library First Aid menu to repair or rebuild your iPhoto library. 
Before troubleshooting, it is a very good idea to back up your iPhoto library.
Important:
You should back up your existing iPhoto Library before using the rebuild feature. A backup allows you to restore the iPhoto Library if anything unexpected happens during the rebuild that prevents the library from rebuilding correctly.
Before performing a rebuild, you should install any iPhoto updates by using Software Update. If a software update resolves your issue, then you don't need to rebuild.
See this article for the steps to back up your computer with Time Machine:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Once your iPhoto library is backed up, follow these steps to use iPhoto Library First Aid:
To rebuild the iPhoto library:
Quit iPhoto if it is open.
Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard.
Open iPhoto.
Keep the keys held down until you are prompted to rebuild the library.
A dialog will appear with rebuild options. Select the options you want to use.
Try each step in order, testing to see if the issue is resolved between each step.

  • When i double click a photo in iphoto to edit, the screen goes black

    when i double click a photo in iphoto to edit, the screen goes black.  I'm using 10.7.5 with iPhoto 9.4.2.  Can anyone help?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist.  However, if I search the album name, all the songs show.  How do I get the songs to show under songs?

    Hi Spam_Valley,
    I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
    We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

    Hi
    Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
    Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
    As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
    Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
    • Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
    • Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
    • Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
    • Then iPhoto should start up OK
    • Now Quit iPhoto
    • START iMovie
    Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
    If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

    I just upgraded to the 5s. I have several mail accounts and I'm getting a message that says: "can not get mail, the connection to the server failed" . Now I'm confused because all the mail shows up perfectly.

  • I burned photos to a cd and it included all the faces and low res duplicates

    I burned photos to a cd from iphoto and it included the ind. faces and low res. images that iphoto created - I only want the originals.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Iphoto 08 all the photos gone (even in Original and Data file)!

    Hi,
    I was uploading pictures to my new Iphoto 08 and suddenly all my thumbnails for the albums were gone. So I tried to rebuild the library and then found that even in Iphoto Library (that I opened with Show Package) there isn't a single photo in data nor originals--only the folders for my events. This is very frustrating since these are all my photos from past four years. And I haven't activated Time-Machine Yet. Please let me know what I can do from here.

    Lunacht:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where were you importing the photos from? Are there any files in those event folders? Do a search in your home folder for "Library6.iPhoto" and see what you find. If there's more than one then you have another library somewhere.
    Happy Holidays
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do I keep a completed video from running on past the end, showing black screen?

    My completed Premiere Elements 9 video does not end where it should, it runs on for another five minutes - showing black screen. Do I need to place an end marker to stop the video or change a setting? This has not happened on other videos I've created.

    Steve,
    You were right. There was a straggler lurking out there. I deleted it and was able to get the Work Area Bar to snap back to the correct video length.

    I downloaded the new operating system and now the Bluetooth in the car does not play my music.  The music on the phone show the cloud and the red arrow pointing downwards.  How do I download all the music again to my phone please?

    I have an ITunes account.  I got it when I got my IPOD.  I've thought about upgrading, but I didn't see any reason to buy a newer IPOD because they all come with so much stuff I don't want/need.  I don't have my current IPOD filled yet and I really don't need an IPOD Touch that has capabilities that my Droid already has.  I don't need to be concerned with documents, mail, attaching to Facebook or playing games.  I can do all that on my phone.  I just want to maintain my music between 3 devices.
    So now that I see it is not to my benefit to have this product---can you point me in the direction to cancel this?  And how do I get my music back?  Will it show up once I cancel my account?
