ITunes wont see my iPhoto library!  Unknown Error -50

Ive recently replaced my external hard drive.
When I try and sync any ipod I get the error 'Unkown Error -50'.
This stops happening if I untick the photos syncing from iPhoto option.
Why is my Itunes not seeing my iphoto folder?

I have the same problem. If I recall correctly, the usual "solution" is to trash your iPhoto prefs and cache and rebuild the library (a simple "rebuild the library" from within iPhoto doesn't seem to work).
I guess I keep hoping a more elegant, less time-intensive solution comes along, but it's my guess Apple has no idea (or care) that this problem persists.

  • ITunes can't see my iPhoto Library

    This evening I updated iPhoto to v11.4 and after the update it required my iPhoto library to be updated to work with the updated version of the software.  After that was complete, iTunes could no longer see my iPhoto library, albums etc.  It looks like I have an empty iPhoto in iTunes.  All my other iLife and iWork software can see my iPhoto library, albums etc.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Not sure if you're having the same exact issue as I am but bottom line, after updating my iPhone 4 and my 3rd gen iPad to iOS 6 and doing the requisite updates on my macbook pro, my iPad will not show up in iTunes unless it's physically connected, even though the wireless sync option is selected and the only option in iTunes is to synch ALL photos, which results in an error 1140 and sync failure when selected.  The option to sync selected albums is grayed out and below, no iPhoto albums show up.  I think there's an issue with the iPhoto update or iOS 6.  Not good!

    If you're getting that one on iTunes 7.3.0.54, try an upgrade to iTunes 7.3.1.3. (Note that Michael, who replied to you earlier in the thread, is reporting that here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4923385#4923385 )
    Here's a link to the new installer:

  • Can't see my Iphoto Library

    Just updated Iphoto. Now I can not see my Iphoto Library.

    Restore from your back up.
    For anythign else you need to explain more:
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 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.

  • How can I get iMovie 10 to see my iPhoto Library after I relocated it.

    How can I get iMovie 10 to see my iPhoto Library after I relocated it. I moved my iPhoto Library to a secondary hard drive, because my main SSD wasn't large enough. I then upgraded to IMove 10.0.4 and also moved my iMovie Library to the secondary hard drive. When I highlight the iPhoto Library in iMovie there is nothing there. Any ideas on how to get iMove to find my relocated iPhoto Library?

    I think I may have solved my own problem. I left cliked on the relocated iPhoto Library and went to "Open with >." I then went to "Other...." I then set the wind located in the bottom labled "Enable:" to "All Applications" and picked iMovie. It gave me a error, but the ultimate result was that iMove now was linked to my iPhoto Library.

    Unknown Error containing "0xE" when restoring
    To resolve this issue, follow the steps in iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting. If you have a Windows computer with an Intel® 5 series/3400 series chipset, you may need updates for your chipset drivers.

  • IWeb does not see my iPhoto library

    For some reason the iWeb media browser does not see my iPhot's. It does see my iTunes and iMovies. It says "open iPhoto 2 or above". I do. It still does not see them.
    I repaired permissions.
    I deleted prefs (iPhoto and iWeb)
    I know I can drag from iPhoto... but I would rather use it as intended.
    Any ideas?
    Randy

    I just upgrade to iLife6 and am also having the same problem. It keeps telling me to launch iPhoto 2 or later.
    I've tried all the suggestions in this thread and still iLife nor desktop prefs will see my iPhoto library. I thought it might be because my library was in on an external drive, but creating a library in my pictures folder didn't work either.
    I have no items in my Movies folder. I guess my next option is to re-create my library. Yuck! And see if there is something corrupt in there that I'm not seeing. I will hate to loose my albums though, but I guess it's worth it if it fixes the problem.
    Oh yeah, another thing. I just realized that the desktop prefs never saw my library even when I was running iLife5. Not sure what is going on.

  • Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my iphoto library

    Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my "iphoto library"

    Hello.
    The problem is that the iPhoto library is inside of iPhoto. Lightroom won't let you select it because it's basically a shortcut to iPhoto. Try exporting the images you need or all of them, depending on what you need.

  • HT4061 My iphone 4s remains in recovery mode permamently. Itunes wont restore it, constant messages of error 4013 keeps coming up on screen, is there any1 out there who can help before i crack up?

    My iphone 4s remains in recovery mode permamently. Itunes wont restore it, constant messages of error 4013 keeps coming up on screen, is there any1 out there who can help before i crack up?

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

  • I have iphoto 7, deleted my photos now having problems getting them from iomega (even though I can see the iphoto library there)

    I have iphoto 7, deleted my photos (now iphoto has grey boxes where images were).  I've backed up on Iomega, and I can see the iphoto library there.  But how do I get it back on iphoto?  I dragged it into my hard drive, but iphoto still shows grey boxes.
    Thanks in advance from this novice!

    There is no iPhoto 7
    there are iPhoto 6 (version 6.x.x), iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x), iPhoto '09 (version 8.x.x) and iPhoto '11 (version 9.x.x)
    Do you have iPhoto '08 - which version?
    Do the gray boxes had large "!" in them?
    How and why did you delete your photos?
    How did you backup to the Iomega drive - Time machine - drag the iPhoto library - other backup program?

    I don´t see the iphoto library in imovie, how can i use the videos of iphoto, how can i get de library in imovie?
    Thank you

    Is there any chance you launched iPhoto while the external hard drive was not available? If so you may have created a virtual EHD - if so unmount your EHD and in the finder go menu ==> go to folder == /Volumes and if you see your EHD there drag it to the desktop - then remount it and launch iPhoto and see if you see both libraries
