Just migrated to a new air - library is there, but doesn't show in iPhoto

how do I connect my iphoto library to iphoto - everything imported over fine, though the old computer was running iphoto 7.15 and the air has version 9

Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

    I also got Motion and can't figure out how to use it with Final Cut Pro X. Any help woud be great. Thanks

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • TS1584 I had my iTunes libray on my old PC, just transferred to my new PC, downloaded iTunes, and my library is there, but can't play songs, says can't locate original files?

    I had my iTunes library on my old Dell Inspiron, transferred all info to my new HP Pavilion PC, downloaded iTunes and my library is there, but when I try to play songs, it says can't play because can't locate the original files...how can I activate the songs to play?  The iTunes library is also in my Windows media file, and the songs will play in there, but I set iTunes as my default music manager and want the songs activated in my iTunes library so I can play them and sync my iPod.  Help?  Thanks.

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • I have synced and re-synched turn off my iPhone 4s my music library is there but grayed out and will not let me select a song

    I am trying to synch my new iPhone 4s my music library is there but I cannot play a song because it is grayed out. I have tried resynching turning phone off and on no change. How can I get my music library which shows up to play?

    You're welcome.
    If answers don't come while your question is on the first page or two of questions then the thread is likely to get ignored from there on in. Just reply to yourself with the word "Bump" to bring it back to the top of the stack. Trickier questions can get ignored if those that might have an answer don't happen to visit at the right time, and the problem is worse in the busier forums...

  • Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Not sure I understand the question but it could be because you meant to say "can't" somewhere in the sentence.  anyway, just guessing here:
    Try going to:
    File >> Watch folders
    Now you can Add new folders here that you see them in Windows.  The word ADD is a button to browse for the folders and hopefully this will solve the problem you are having.

  • Showing "0" photos in a library folder.  But the photos show in that same folder explore.

    Hi Everyone - Showing "0" photos in a library folder.  But the photos show in that same folder explore.  I have LR 5.6 set to "Show photos in Subfolder".  I have filters off.  There are 380 photos that I spent several days editing.  I have been building a book online for the past several days and have been uploading the photos with no problem. I have been going back into this folder in the library to pick what I want to use with no problem until today.  The folder shows in the "Folder" section of the Library but it shows "0" photos are in the folder.  When I open that same folder in explore all of the photos are there.  I have changed nothing since working on this project yesterday.  I have rebooted my system and that did not help.  Any suggestions to make these photos show up again in the Library would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!  Toby

    Thanks for the fast reply dj_paige!  I had already searched for the photos prior to my post and found the photos neatly tucked away in the folder that was showing "0" photos.  But could not view them in LR.  I should have mentioned that in my previous post.  I also tried synchronizing the folder after I rebooted this morning to no avail.  Now the strange thing - I just clicked on synchronize folder once again and it replaced the photos into the folder and I can now see them in LR once again.  I can't explain why that did not work earlier but am glad it worked just now.  Thanks again for your reply!

  • News feed on my Facebook app doesn't show the correct time. Can the time be set?

    News feed on my Facebook app doesn't show the correct time.  Can the time be set?

    Does your phone show the correct time?
    If not, change the time on your phone, see if it helps.
    If it does, then sign out, sign back in. If that fails, the delete and reinstall. If that fails, then contact Facebook, as they're the developers of the app and will have the proper documentation to help you further.

  • When i copy songs with home sharing it shows it copying but doesn't show up in the library

    When I copy songs with home sharing it shows it copying but doesn't show up in the library. What should I do ?

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Photos are in library but won't show in iPhoto

    The photos are in the library. They just won't show up in iPhoto. I had to migrate this iPhoto library from a 10.4.11 OS X hard drive to an external 10.5.2 drive. And I'm running iPhoto 8.2
    Here's what's in my iPhoto Library folder. Does anything look weird.
    http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w279/pbregister/Picture1.png
    Are there pref or plist files I should try deleting? I think I already tried that.
    Thanks in advance,
    --Paul

    This is not an iPhoto 09 library.
    And I'm running iPhoto 8.2
    There is no iPhoto 8.2
    My guess is that this is an iPhoto 6 Library.
    If the other versions won't open the Library then it's got a damaged database.
    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 allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    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 on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll 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 has hidden my iPhoto Library- photos there, but can't locate LIBRARY

    *Here's a bit of a strange one!* I have iPhoto 7.1 (not yet 7.1.1) on my PowerBook G4-12" and last week I imported 6700 photos from my Kodak EasyShare Collection (which had a total of 16,000+) - and it all worked great.
    *I setup about 20 EVENTS-*- some with 4 photos-- some with 800! I transferred 6098 photos to my iPod Touch (16gb) and SUPER!! +(OK the iTouch puts the first dated photo in each event as the KEY photo-- doesn't accept the "KEY PHOTO" I assigned in iPhoto-- but otherwise super).+
    *OK SO TODAY:* I have 132 new photos to import from my digital camera. _FORGOT TO SAY THIS:_ The 29 gb iPhoto Library is located on an *external 48 gb HD (LaCie 300 gb with 3 partitions - on the 48 gb partition).*
    So I imported the photos directly to iPhoto and all the events are gone and just the new 132 photos (1 event).
    WHAT?!?!?!!!!!!!!!
    So I then plug-in the HD to my MacBook and opent iPhoto 7.1.1 with the option key down and choose the iPhoto Library on the External HD and all is there, all OK-- Whew!
    I now open iPhoto 7.1 on the PBG4 and the photos are there!! - *but the external HD is not connected!!* Somehow iPhoto has transferred them to the internal 100gb HD on the PBG4-- BUT WHERE?!?!? Even with a SPOTLIGHT or EASY FIND search, _I cannot locate the iPhoto Library!!!_ I even deleted the photos that were similar in the Kodak EasyShare folder thinking it was referencing them, but nope-- it still opened with 132 photos and where they are located, I have no idea!
    I would like to transfer these 132 photos to the MAIN iPhoto Library on the 48gb HD - but I don't know where they are! (I've gone to where it should be-- in Users/Steve/Pictures....)
    But I see them!
    Can I DELETE this single event? But what then, is that "invisible Library" still about?
    At this time, I really don't want to connect the HD to the PBG4 since I don't want to risk it corrupting the 6700 photos in that Library.
    (((Of course I'll backup that iPhoto Library first-- so if I "wreck" one, I'll have a backup))); and of course I have the photos themselves via the wonderful Kodak EasyShare program which plays videos in slide shows (but without "EVENTS" or the easy ability to transfer to the iTouch)--
    Thanks for any comments!
    Steve-- Sunday 3 February 2008

    Stephen:
    Do a search on the PB for a file titles "Library6.iPhoto". Every library has one and you can find the library by finding that file. Once you find the library open it like this and drag out the Originals folder to the desktop.
    Now connect the external HD to the PB, launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select the option to Find Library and open the one on the external HD. Now you can drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window to get those 132 photos into that library. When done delete the library and originals folder from the PB.
    What may have happened is that iPhoto was launched with the external HD disconnected and, not finding the library, created a new one. Using iPhoto Library Manager to manage and open your library will avoid that problem as it will tell you that the library is not available.
    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.

  • HT1296 I am trying to sync my ipod to my computer thru itunes, I have already successfully synced my ipad, but keep getting stuck on the sync for the ipod it identifies, the device appears to be syncing but doesn't show up my new music or my new playlist?

    I am trying to sync my i-pod to my computer thru itunes.  I successfully synced my Ipad thru the computer, but am trying to do the same with the Ipod.  The device shows up on my computer and appears to be syncing, but nothing changes.  I have tried dragging the new music to the device, but a symbol appears with a slash thru the middle, as if denying access, any suggestions what to try next.  I have synced on this Ipod succesfully in the past, Suggestions?

    To drag and drop you have to use the Manual Method. That method is included here:

    Was the iPod set up by wifi or setup or synced to another computer/iTunes library?
