Library has no photos, smart libraries do

My Library (Like in iPhoto) does not load ALL images. In fact, it loads none. If I click a smart library like 2007, I get all my 2007 photos. Why?
I am running on a G5 1.6 with 2.5 GB RAM. Aperture 1.5.4
I posted pics here:

That is strange, but norrmal. Just click on the All Images line. Or create your own All Images filter and put it elsewhere. I never open up that Library icon.

Photo library shows more photos than it really has

My photo library has 41 photos, however when checking "Usage" it shows I have 10.4Gb. Why?
The complete Photo & Camera shows:
1. Photo Library = 10.4 Gb
2. My Photo Stream = 20.1 Mb
3. Shared Photo Stream = 821 Mb
when checking via iTunes, it shows I have 3801 photos, where are they? I know they are not the in recently deleted album.
Any ideas?

Hi rfirmeza,
It may help to force close all open apps and restart your iPhone.

If you're still seeing a discrepancy in the number of photos on your device and storage space used, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

My iMac has created different iPhoto libraries? Why and how can I bring all back to one library?

My iMac has created seperate iPhoto libraries for some reason. So now I have all my photos seperated amongst 4 libraries.
Why did iMac do this or what did I do unwittingly that caused this?
How do I combine all the photos back into just one library?

Your iMac has not created seperate ;libraries - that can only happen if you direct it done adn only you know what you did.
What are the names of the 4 libraries?
what version of iPhoto do you have? Do you have Aperturte? Unless you have iPhoto 9.3 and Apertrue 3.3 or newer the only way to merege libraries is using the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -

Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt

Hello,
As many of you, I've installed photos. This is my problem: I am an enthusiastic photographer that keeps around 10K photos per year (approx. 60GB), and while I have several years of pictures, I've just get the last 5 years. To be honest, I never liked iphoto to organize my pictures, I rather use Picasa. The way how pictures get organized, the poor effects tweaks to photos, the lack of freedom to keep an online folder...etc.
But with this new Photos, well, what the heck let's give it a chance.
It seemed cool, all my devices connected, iCloud (very limited storage though), new nice quick effects... the organization of pictures also seemed improved. the UI as usual with apple apps, pretty neat and clean.
Did I mentioned that I have several hundreds of GB of pictures? Well, a detail, I keep it in my time capsule to have them handy when I need it. With picasa, I just need to ensure that time capsule is waked, and pictures get recognized at once.
With photos, I've tried with 1 year, 10,000 pictures and.... very disappointed, it shutdown every 1 minute saying "Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt"...
Do I missing something here? is this supposed to be better than iPhoto? Time Capsule is not able to send steady signal to get my library online?

Not sure exactly whats going on with that given how new Photos is. But, Picasa works because differently than Photos because it doesn't use a centralized library. Picasa will just scan the entire computer and reference it in that location. Photos libraries, while sometimes problematic, are superior because as you've experience moving all the content is as simply as moving a single file.
Suggestions I would try:
Make sure Photos is quit. Hold down Command + Option on keyboard and click Photos icon to launch. Keep holding until you get a dialog box about repairing the library. Proceed with repair.
Move the library, if size permits, to your local HD on the computer and attempt to open and use.
Create a new library by holding Option on keyboard and launching Photos. Choose to create a new library and make sure it's placed in your ~/Pictures folder. If that works you know its library specific.
Right click on the external drive (also accomplished by holding Control when click), choose get info on the drive. Bottom of new window expand (if not already) the sharing and permissions section. Click lock icon and provide administrator password. If available, which it should be if using same drive for a Time Machine backup, check box to ignore permissions.

I have tow itunes libraries. Music from one library has merged with the other and I can not delete the songs. They keep coming back.

I have two ipod touch libraries under my account. One for my daughter and one for me. I bought my daughter an Iphone and then opened her ipod touch libraryon the computer (Windows Vista). I plugged in her iphone so that she can have the stuff from her ipod touch on her new phone. Somehow her library has partially merged with my library. My ipod touch now has some of HER games and music on it. I went into my library and deleted these games and songs, but they keep coming back. How do I get rid of these once and for all. I don't want to be shuffling AC/DC, Rob Zombie, and then get Justin Bieber all of a sudden while sitting at a red light in traffic.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

User 2 photo library has become unreadable

I am the adminstrator of our iMac. My wife is the other user and when she tries to access her photo library a message appears: "photo library has become unreadable .." Does anyone know how to resolve this?

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.

Photo Library has disappeared

I have just tried to look at my photos through Iphoto but the library has completely disappeared. Many thousands of photos are completley gone! How can i get them back? What has caused this problem? No I didnt delete it.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Updates don't disturb data - not going to say it never happens but I've never lost just one file due to an update. If you've not been backing up your computer regularly and the iPhoto Library isn't hiding somewhere then you've lost your photos.
TimeMachine is Apple's backup program that performs hourly backups to prevent accidental loss of data.
EasyFind is a very useful and easy to use search program. Download it and search for iPhoto Library. If it has somehow moved elsewhere on your computer, EasyFind will find it.

IPhoto 5.0.4 has suddenly stopped working. It loads the photo library and then freezes. Rebuilding the library has no effect which has about 3.5MB of data. PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8

Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7) 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.

ThanK You.

PS We are only in town for a few more hours & I'd love to get this done for him. He's in PA & I'll never be able to walk him through this by phone:)

The photo has been placed in the folder /Users//Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary Recovered Photos.

Can anyone help? I gather a couple of pictures were corrupted in my library and since then every time I open iphoto the following message appears
"The photo has been placed in the folder /Users/evabosch/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary Recovered Photos." Then a folder is created with nothing inside.
I can of course delete the folders but I would like to clean the system of this.
Thank you!
OSX 10.9.5

Quit iPhoto if it is open.
Hold down the ⌘ (command) and option keys while you open iPhoto to open iPhoto Library First Aid.
Read and follow the instructions. I recommend the "Repair Database" option.

Error message: Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt.

I suddenly get this error message when trying to open and use Photos. "Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt."
I can't find a solution to fix the problem.

The only version of iPhoto that works with 10.10.3 is iPhoto 9.6.1 which must be downloaded from the App Store. What version of iPhoto do you have installed?

Hello, My Iphone is full with photos as it has my Photo library on it, I guess from Syncing it with my computer... How do I remove the photo Library and just keep the photos I take on my phone on my phone? Hope that is clear.... :)

Same way they got on your phone, through the iTunes sync process. With your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Photos" tab, deselect the albums/folders/photos you do not want on your phone. Hit the "Apply/Sync" button & they will be removed from your phone.
