How can I restore photos in my trash that haven't been emptied? The trash indicates I have 3000 photos, I can click on the trash and view the pics...but don't know how to retrieve them.
Any assistance would be great...
Thanks in advance for any help....

How can I find my restored photos from trash?

I went into my trash and selected a number of photos then clicked restore photos to library. Now I can't find the photos anywhere...I've looked throughout my events and all my other folders. Where are they?????

I assume that you are talking about the iPhoto trash? If so then they should be returned to the event they were in prior to being moved to the iPhoto trash

Clicking "Trash" no longer moves photo to "Trash."

When I used to right-click on a photo, selecting "Trash" used to put the photo into "Trash" via iPhoto. Now, all it does is remove from the album? Really frustrating when you have 1000 photos, and you have to find it, so that it can move into the trash bin. It never used to do that. Is this a Lion thing? I have iPhoto version 9.1.5

To delete photos form evets select the photo and press delete
from an album select the photo and depress the command key and press delete

IPhoto open with time machine - which photo is restored-edited or original?

I want to know which photo is restored when I use time machine with iPhoto open.
I understood that if you want a photo edited restored, you need to open in finder the modified folder and then use time machine. Is this the way to restore edited photos ? Because using time machine with iPhoto open I think I can only restore an original photo. Is this right ?
Can you tell me when I restore a photo (using time machine) from within iphoto when the application is open, which photo is restored ? The original or the edited ? I tried several times to restore a photo with iPhoto open and the photo that is restored comes without any rating or flag (I confirm that is backep up, I can see in iPhoto within timemachine)
What is the best way to restore photos ? For instance to restore a mail I use with Mail open. But with iPhoto is different ?

I agree that someone should know the exact answer. I would assume the following happens. If you go back in time and select a picture from time machine by selecting the image from within an album, that you would get that image with any changes. When it comes back to iPhoto that the image you selected would be added to the library as is— that is to say, an edited version only. On the other hand, selecting to restore the library as you may do if restoring your entire picture collection, or library, or even in the case of an entire system restore using migration would bring the original image back in. I've not heard of any limitations with selecting from the modifies.
However, I am not entirely sure and have not restored enough from TM for anything to know the ins and outs and do's and don't completely.
One thing you could do that may answer your question would be to take an image and really edit it, back it up to TM, remove it from iPhoto and then go back and restore it and find out exactly what you get back. You could do this on a duplicate image. Report back on your findings.
This is all that I can come up with.

Restoring photos in iPhoto

I have several photos for which the thumbnail displays, but the full photo displays as blank. Is it possible to restore these?
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

If Smtr's suggested fix doesn't bring back those missing files into the library you can follow Tutorial #1 to create a new library with the same rolls and keywords as the one you have now.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Hi, i can't open photo library on my iPhoto. Now lost all my photos. How to restore al photos on iPhoto?

Hi, i can't open photo library on my iPhoto. Now lost all my photos. How to restore all photos on iPhoto on Macbookair?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

IPhoto: Restore photos to Library (help!) It's not working...

I have tried, unsuccessfully, several times to restore photos from my iPhoto Trash to the Library. I select the photos I want to restore, click on Restore to Library, and wait. The program invariably freezes, causing me to Force Quit. I need to restore these photos so I can empty the trash! Any ideas? Thanks in advance! I am using iPhoto '09.

Well you won't be syncing the two libraries as you don't want the same content in both, but only to update the one on the external, right? Otherwise you don't save any space...
Here's one way to do it:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
Library Manager means you can move additions on the internal, plus all metadata, version history and so on, to the main library.
Another thing to remember: now you have all your photos on this external, where's your back up? You'll need another copy of the Library on another disk...

I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
Thank you,

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Restoring Photos from Time Machine Crashes iPhoto

I am attempting to restore some photos to iPhoto from Time Machine. I can navigate back to the time where the photos are displayed, but when I click on 'Restore' the restoration process commences but then iPhoto crashes. When iPhoto is re-opened the desired photos have not been restored.
This is disappointing because I rely on Time Machine as my life raft after any 'human error' episodes. What is the required procedure to make this work?
I am using OS 10.6.7, and iPhoto 7.1.5 ('08)

Since posting my original question I have followed the advice I saw for other similar postings. I have attempted to back up using File>Browse backups..., and rebuilt the database and trashed the iPhoto preference, but to no avail, iPhoto still crashes when attempting to restore a photo. What I haven't done is to restore the whole database from the Finder in Pictures>iPhoto. There was conflicting advice in some of the replies that I saw so I am reluctant to attempt that. But I am getting desperate, any advice please.

How can i view and upload photos from an older version of iPhoto which are on an external hard drive to my new iMac? i currently have copied the application version 9.4.2. on my lacie backup and want to view and upload this to my new iPhoto version 9.5.1

our old iMac died suddenly, but i had backed up the iPhoto application to a lacie external hard drive. however, when i try to open it in my new iMac which is installed with version 9.5.1 and is upgraded to maverick, it comes up with “cannot be opened, to open you must upgrade to latest version” and then makes you press the quit button.
the iPhoto version on the external hard drive is iPhoto 9.4.2 which i upgraded on 29/11/12 onto our old iMac (early 2007 version)
my new iMac is running on version OSX 10.9.1
i have looked at buying iphoto library manager and have emailed them about whether this would work, but any advice would be gratefully received as i cannot be the only person that has had this problem but i cannot find any answers that work.
thanks
Julie

YOu can rebuild with Library Manager and this does not require a purchase:
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.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

I have a Mac Book Pro with iPhoto version 9.5.1 Can I delete more that one photo at a time? Thanks!!

I have Mac Book Pro with iPhoto version 9.5.1. Is there a way to delete more than one photo at a time? Thanks!!!

Hi LarryJackie,
When you go into Photos (or an Album or Event), click on the first photo you want to delete. If you want to delete a whole selection of photos in a row, hold down the Shift key, and then click on the last photo in the section you want to delete. All of the photos will be selected. Then click on Photos in the top menu and click on Move to Trash.
If you want to select photos that are not in a row, then click on the first photo, then hold down the Command key, then click on other photos you want to select. Keep the Command key held down until you have selected all of the photos you want. Then click on Photos in the top menu and then Move to Trash.
Cheers,
GB

How do I transfer all photos from my Imac, IPhoto version 7.1.5, to another Imac, IPhoto version 9.2, but keep the two sets of photos separate

How do I transfer all photos from my Imac, IPhoto version 7.1.5, to another Imac, IPhoto version 9.2, but keep the two sets of photos separate

You need to clarify what you are asking.
An iphoto installation has two major parts: 1. The application or program - that's the software and 2. The Library - that's where your actual pictures are.
So when you say:
I want to keep using the old Iphoto program on the new Imac. There is already an IPhoto program on the new Imac but I do not want to add or delete from that one.
It sounds like you want to move the application and not the Library. Most folks want to move the Library, and it makes no sense to have two versions of the application on your mac.

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?
I have just upgraded from Leopard to Lion (via Snow Leopard) because I could no longer order photo calendars with iphoto 7.1.5. However, I still have iphoto 7.1.5 and need to upgrade this. From the App store it looks as though I cannot get iphoto 9.5.1 due to the incompatibility with Lion. I was recemmended not to upgrade beyond Lion due to the age of my iMac computer (2008 version) by Stormfront staff.
What is the best iphoto to upgrade to and how do I do this e.g. iLife '09 or '11, or are there any other 'stand-alone' versions of iphoto that would be compatible? How do I know whether my computer is capable of upgrading to Mountain Lion? I definitely want to be able to make photo calendars, books and cards.
Thanks

iPhoto '09 or '11 - purchase an iLife '09 or '11 DVD (amazon or eBay are potential sources) and install iPhoto and update to the latest version for your OS

Hallo, after upload my iPad air and my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 (and later Mac to Yosemite, version 10.10), I don't find in my iPad air and in my iPhone 5 photos I can see in iPhoto (version 9.6) on my Mac's Cloud.

hallo, after upload iPad air and iPhone 5 to iOS 8 (and few days ago Mac to Yosemite, version 10.10), I don't find in my iPad air and in my iPhone 5 photos I can see in iPhoto (version 9.6) on my Mac's Cloud. I tried to add manually from library to iCloud's streaming photo with no result. in iPhoto's events I've 940 photos, in iPhone and iPad about 450. I have in mobile devices only photos taken with iPhone. thank

There is no warning there, only a recommendation...
We recommend that you update to the latest version of iPhoto before placing your order,
On 10.6.8 you can update to 9.2.3.
You really need to rethink you're computing habits. Using a computer without a back up is like driving without a safety belt. Updating the OS and applications without one is like driving blindfolded and drunk without a safety belt...
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
