IPhoto unexpectedly quit and lost pics

I had just uploaded about 50 pics over the course of 3 hours, was importing movie to iMovie, iPhoto quit, reopened it and the pics I had uploaded were gone. There's an event where they were but has 0 pictures. What happened and how do I get them back ?!?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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 unexpectedly quit

As i was uploading pictures my iPhoto unexpectedly quit, and i lost all the pictures it was uploading, though it didn't upload most of them yet.
I tried it again and the same thing happened
Does anyone know why this is happening? I DO have a lot of photos on it, should that affect it if i still have adaquate memory left on my computer?
Thanks!

You shouldn't have to take your iBook in yet. There's a lot we can try first.
And the first thing to do is to make a copy of your iPhoto Library folder (select it and type Command-I). Just a precaution. Next run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions and then manually set the permissions on your iPhoto Library folder as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
<table><tr><td align=left bgcolor="#FFFFCC">he only time I have had this sort of crash is the few times i tried to upload the same pictures.</td></tr></table>
iPhoto may be choking on the duplicate that you're trying to upload or it may be a damaged file. Also do you have any video clips in the camera?
I'd upload all of the files from the camera with Image Capture to a folder on the desktop and then reformat the card with the camera - Menu button and middle list. (Don't let iPhoto do it as there have been to many incomplete uploads and complete erasures.) See if they will import OK from the desktop. If so then take some test pictures with the camera and see if they import OK using your normal method.
For what it's worth, my preferred method of uploading from the camera is to either use a card reader or Image Capture and upload to a folder on the desktop. Name the folder with a descriptive name regarding the shoot. Then import that folder into iPhoto (I just drag it into the open iPhoto window). That will give you a roll titled the same as the folder. This give me a little more assurance that the photos get safely on my HD before I erase the card with the camera. Well, enough soap boxing. Good luck.

My iPhoto is not working, it quit unexpecly and it shows this message- The application "iPhoto" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?

i can't open my iPhoto, it was working very slow and now its not working at all, when i try to open it it shows this message: The application “iPhoto” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?
how can i fix this problem?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

I downloaded 200 photos, an event folder was created, I could see all the photos and was in the process of editing them when I got a message that iPhoto unexpectedly quit. I cannot find the photos anywhere on my computer now. Is there anything to do?

My iPhoto unexpectedly quits. It looks like it is loading then a window pops up and says iPhoto quit unexpectedly. It says to "reopen" and I try it and the same things happens. I restarted it and made sure my mac is updated. Please help! Any other suggestions?

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

"iPhoto unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows"

When I try to open iPhoto, it says "iPhoto unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows," then gives me the option of restoring the windows or not. Whatever one I click, iPhoto opens for a second and displays a blank gray screen, then quickly closes and a notification pops up that says "iPhoto closed unexpectedly" and displays the following info. How do I fix this???

Well that's because it's a different library.
As i said above it was a test. It tells us that iPhoto is fine and that the problem is within your main Library.
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. .

It is usually preceded by a warning that the library is corrupted and needs to be repaired. I can still see the supposedly bad photos in Aperture without problems. I believe there is a serios bug in iPhoto.
One other clue here is that I attempted to download a new slideshow to my MobileMe Gallery immediately after the upgrade but even though it is still a valid Share option it did not work. After that with a brief exception I got the unexpected quits referrred to above.

Have you previously marked Commodo's certificates as untrusted? The following discussion
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17473383#17473383
talked about a similar problem and I just enabled Commodo's root certificate in Keychain Access and now mobileme is working for me again with Aperture.

IPhoto unexpectedly quitting on BRAND NEW MacBook Pro

I just bought this computer a couple of weeks ago. I used to have a MacBook, and all of a sudden (after 4 years of loyal service) it began having issues. So I bought a new computer a couple of weeks ago. It is the MacBook Pro 13" basic model. It has absolutely no upgrades, thusfar. All I have done is add my wedding photos to iphoto. There are around 2000, all ultrahigh quality. Yesterday iPhoto unexpectedly quit. This has happened a couple of times now, and I am also experiencing lag. I turn the computer off regularly, I don't download anything from anywhere but itunes etc. Why is this happening? Is it simply the amount of photos on my computer? When it quit unexpectedly I was editing my photos(playing with contrast, sepia, etc.). I am getting really frustrated, because these are the same issues that eventually drove me to buy a new apple. With such a big investment (for a college student) I am really upset about this issue. Please help me!?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create and use a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the new library crashes try the following: 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 the test library works as expected then the problem lies with your current library. In that case
make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup (select the library and type Command+D) 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.

Can't open iPhoto - unexpectedly quits

So a few days ago there was an error when I tried to import some pictures into my iPhoto, and ever since then whenever I attempt to open iPhoto I get the "The application iPhoto unexpectedly quit" screen. I searched through these forums and already tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file followed by a restart and permissions repair from Disk Utility, but it didn't work - when I try again to open iPhoto after deleting the file, I still get the same "unexpectedly quit" screen.
Below is the crash log. Any help is much appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Hi TD, thanks for your prompt response.
I created the new account as suggested, and still received the "unexpectedly quit" screen. Below is the new crash report.
So a reinstall of iPhoto is my next step?

IPhoto unexpectedly quit during library rebuild

Last night, I did a clean install of OSX on my G4. Once I got all the updates in order, I reinstalled iLife '04 and then put those updates in place as well. I had been having problems with iPhoto previously. So, I decided not to just copy the library over, but rather rebuild it. Well, I have gone through the process twice, and as it is nearing completion (after 3 hours), iPhoto unexpectedly quits. The first time it did this, I could open the "rebuilt" library, but when shutting iPhoto down, it would beachball for over 30 seconds. When I open the original library and close down, it only takes a couple of seconds. Could I be having a problem with the fact that the original is on one drive and I am rebuilding to a different drive? Or is it just that there is something so terribly messed up in the original library that iPhoto is crashing as a result on the rebuild?

I now just trying to get iPhoto to quit crashing. The library is on my main drive now (an external since the internals no longer work).
iPhoto is consistently locking up during slide shows. Has been for the last two weeks. The SD card issue, well, I don't really know just now. I have not tried since the clean install was completed the other night.
I am thinking that there is something terribly wrong to which all of these issues could all be tied. I am just trying to give as much information as possible.
I am not really sure right now what is not necessary that I have tried? When one thing does not solve the problem, trial and error methodology is istituted until a solution is found. I am just hoping there is a suggestion I might have missed.

IPhoto unexpectedly quitting during photo import...

it's crazy. I've been using iPhoto or 800 years, I migrate my settings + photos from my 12" Powerbook into my new MacBook Pro with iLife 08... after a few successful import sessions with my Canon Elph (business as usual!) all of a sudden I'm getting "unexpectedly quit" and I can't import. What the heck?
This happen to anyone?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
start with the basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

IPhoto has crashed and lost all my photos

I imported about 80 new photos earlier today and all was well. Later on I went to have a look at some of the new photos and iPhoto "unexpectedly quit". When it reopened I got a message saying "welcome to iPhoto" etc etc, basically it is as if it's reinstalled, but all my photos have vanished.
I've had a look on my HD and the photos are all there and open perfectly well in Preview, but if I try to import them into iPhoto I get a message telling me they couldn't be imported because they may be an unrecognised file type (they're all normal jpgs) or they may not contain valid data (but other apps can read them).
Help!! Anyone have any ideas?

iPhoto won't import from the iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication.
As you're database is corrupted your choices are limited. 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 Folder allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls 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 Folder 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.

You can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use the latest version of iphoto

you can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use latest version of iphoto. iphoto 11 is installed.

This is a message you got?
If so, as your post isn't clear, it may be a bogus message caused by a corrupt database.
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. .

My CS6 is giving me an error message that says "photoshop has unexpectedly quit" and will not open. I have tried re-intalling but it still won't open

CS6 has stopped working. It give error message saying that Photoshop has unexpectedly quit and will not open at all. The same with Elements 11

Sorry - this is the Audition forum. We don't know anything about Photoshop or Elements at all; you need to ask in the Photoshop forum.
