Library rebuild failure

My problems started with the big grey multi-language box appeared asking to Restart computer appearing a couple of times – kernel panic? I just optimistically carried on. (What happened next may suggest my iPhoto software is damaged and that this resulted in kernel panic?)
Then a message about upgrading thumbnails appeared when opening iPhoto 5.0.4 – I tried both options (Upgrade and Later) but just got the spinning wheel for ages. So I read a previous post here which suggested a Rebuild of iPhoto. I backed up, copying from Pictures folder to Desktop. The Rebuild progress bar appeared briefly, but then disappeared and I was left with ‘No photos’ in iPhoto – so now I have a bigger problem!
What I do not want to do is rebuild the library manually, as I have 4000 photos - many of which are captioned, and a structure of numerous folders and albums, also slideshows – months of work which would be lost! I’m quite distressed about this prospect.
I have Canon’s EOS Viewer Utility 1.1, EOS Capture v1.1 and PhotoStitch 3.1 and Adobe’s Photoshop Elements 2.0 installed – I could uninstall these, in case they’re interfering? I could also download and reinstall iPhoto 5.0.4? The library contained approx 7.5GB of photos – could iPhoto be overloaded? I have 1GB RAM, do I need more? Are iPhoto Library Manager or File Salvage worth downloading?
Does anyone have any comments / ideas, please?

Thanks for the tips guys...have done steps 1 to 4 as outlined in the troubleshooting guide by X-Lab which Rick (JMEH) suggested. These included 1.running Apple Hardware Test, 2.checking SMART diagnostics, repairing Startup Disk, repairing Permissions, performing cache cleaning, 3.confirming sufficient RAM and disk space, 4.doing a Safe Mode check on Login/Startup items...everything OK!
Have retrieved a 3.2MB Album.xml file, from the pre-rebuild Library backup I made. Hoping that I could do an iPhoto Rebuild using iPLM on the original library using this Album.xml file. However, I received this message...
"This library cannot be rebuilt. The album data file for this library is malformed. Conversion of data failed. The file is not UTF-8, or in the encoding specified in XML header if XML. See iPhoto Library Manager Help for troubleshooting information."
I've recently been using lots of Special Characters for captioning photos using German and French place names - should this be a problem? Sent the .xml to Brian Webster just in case he can decipher a clue in it, cos I can't even open it. So looks like I'm stuck with a manual rebuild and losing months and months of cataloguing work!
Just for reference, here's how events leading to corruption of photos and Album.xml file occured...Monday - mistakenly hit Power button when computer unplugged at wall, flicked mains switch then hit Power button again = first kernel panic and loud fan humming, then downloaded photos OK...Wednesday - edited Last Roll OK, put on Sleep mode, reboot from Sleep = kernel panic, continued editing (the photos which became corrupted), half hour later = 'Upgrade Thumbnails' and hung up, all attempts to Rebuild failed...Saturday - reboot from Sleep mode (not been using iPhoto at all) = kernel panic.
So I'm hoping the kp's are over now. But if I go back to using iPhoto I'm left with no folders, albums, captions or slideshows - and really don't want to risk this scenario again! Suppose I could frequently back up the Album.xml file. Failing that, are there any other, more reliable photo cataloguing/management systems out there? Maybe just organise them in Finder - seems a pity when iPhoto can do some nice stuff and is so easy to use...
Interested to hear any comments on the way forward.

  • My iPhone library says library rebuilding I cant fix this I am trying to recover my photos and video please help.

    My grandfather recently passed away. I have photos of our last moments together and i went to upload them to computer and Iphone says library rebuilding. I cant see the photos on the harddrive or anything. I am really nervous I lost these i had a video and everything I am really lost for words.....if anyone can give me any help on how to fix this i read something saying get the Iphone browers but it wont install.

    Image Capture will only import photos and videos from the camera roll, not from photo stream.  In order to import them with Image Capture, you would first need to save the photo steam photos to his camera roll by opening his my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  You can then import them with Image Capture.  After doing so, delete them from his camera roll by opening his camera roll, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, then tap Delete.
    If you did this carefully, he would never know.  The risk is that you accidently left one or more photo stream photos in his camera roll and he noticed it.
    Before doing this, check to see if the photo stream photos are already in his camera roll.  The may be as all photo stream photos originate from the camera roll.  Unless he subsequently deleted them, they would still be there and could be imported with Image Capture without needing to change anything on his phone.

  • IPhoto '09 library rebuild has no "Repair Library" option

    Recently I've given in to doing some cleanup with regards to my iPhoto library.  Looking around on the forums some people gave some tips on how to go about this, some suggested apps for purchase and some free scripts people made themselves.  For some reason one app I was using couldn't find all of the dupes and would only find some, and the script I found would get interrupted and stopped at a point basically saying that a certain file isn't where it's supposed to be, probably due to a few times that I just manually deleted the photo from it's location instead of deleting it in iPhoto and having iPhoto do its job.  So it seems the iPhoto Library isn't updated, and isn't updating.  Attempted to do the library rebuild as a possible solution and the first option in the screenshot isn't available when i hold command + option keys as instructed
    instead, this is what i get
    re: automatic backup, my external drive that I normally backup to is currently out of commission so that's not an option.  Thanks.

    The top screenshot is from iPhoto 11, the lower one is from iPhoto 09. That's why they are different.
    Here's a thing: if this is the case
    ... due to a few times that I just manually deleted the photo from it's location instead of deleting it in iPhoto...
    Your library is not fixable by iPhoto. You've corrupted it beyond repair.
    Options now:
    1. 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.  
    Depending on how much damage you've done this may or may not work. But it's free and worth a try.
    2. Restore from a back up created before you damaged the Library. (BTW "my external drive that I normally backup to is currently out of commission" means "I don't have a back up", doesn't it?)
    3. Create a new Library, recover your masters and start over from scratch.

  • During a library rebuild, 'Restoring Faces' continues endlessly...I have no faces identified in my pictures.

    During an Aperture Library rebuild, process hangs at RESTORING FACES for hours, rebuild does not progress beyond this stagnation.  My library contains no identified faces to restore.
    Rebuild was indicated when I attempted to update my vault.

    Try an All Images Search:
    In the Finder:
    Command - f
    Kind: Images
    Size: Greater than 300kb (This is to avoid all the thumbnails, icons and so on.)
    Set it to search the Mac.
    As to why? The most likely answer is user error, I'm afriad. It does point up the importantce of always having a back up.

  • Hanging during library rebuild

    I was finding way too many black triangles in my 135 GB library.
    So I decided to try and rebuild the library using options 1,2, and 6 in the rebuild library option screen.  The library is on a 500 GB USB external drive with nothing but the iphoto library on it.  It is connected to a Intel Core Duo Mini running 10.6.8 and iphoto 9.1.5
    I started in Wednesday October 5th. 
    The screen show:
    "Examining photo library..."
    and another window:
    "Rebuilding library: 26560 Version restored."
    The grey wheel is still spinning.
    It has hung on this screen for 71 hours and counting...
    I have a screenshot at this link:
    /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/162/16299336-1.png
    QUESTION:
    1. Since my database is 135 GB with 26,560 photos/videos is it expected to take this long?
    2. If not, then what can I do differently?

    That's way too long.  Quit iPhoto, use Force Quit if you have to.  Then try rebuilding just the preferences option (#6) to see if you can get thru that. If you do then try #1 and #2. 
    I don't have a library that large but for a 2,500 photo library rebuilding only takes about a 40 seconds using those three options. So by scaling I would expect your library should take around 5 minutes. However, with the library on an external USB drive it will take longer.  Don't know what the speed difference will be.
    After #6 I'd try #1 next.  The automatic backup of #2 may be damaged.
    If none of the iPhoto rebuilds fix your library you're next step is this:
    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.

  • HT3805 If I have 500,000 images, how long should a library rebuild take?

    I have close to 500k images and had to do a library rebuild. It took over 10 hours, but never stopped.  Now that it has processes all the photos, it is still saying processing and I'm just waiting.  How long should I wait?

    40 hours.
    Seriously.
    It will finish.
    There's not much else you can do.  If you stop the process, you just have to start over.

  • Iphoto library updating, "rebuilding" failure

    Every time I try to open iphoto I get a spinning wheel and a message saying, "please wait, updating library..." with "rebuilding library" in small font at bottom of the page. Within 3 seconds and the blue bar about a third of the way across screen, it stops and closes iphoto- sending me back to the homepage of my pad.
    I tried resetting ipad to factory settings, powering on and off, removing all photos, nothing is working. Has this happened to anyone else? Everything else on my pad is functioning normally.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I was referring to my my photo library. I used the term "iphoto" because that is where they are uploaded from there via itunes and it keeps saying"rebuilding library" which I assumed was linked to iphoto. I don't have iphoto on my ipad and don't want this referred to the "iphoto" section. This is definitely an ipad issue, my mistake- sorry for that.
    On my ipad, I can not open the "photo library", without the spinning wheel saying it is rebuilding library and then in 3 seconds it goes back to the home screen. In other words, I cannot access my photos from my ipad at all. I have tried everything and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions.
    I reset the ipad
    I removed photos in a sync
    I tried uploading from the camera attachment
    When I did sync, I was able to import all the photos from the pad to my computer, so they are there.
    But bottom line is that I can't use the photo library on my ipad, won't open. everything else on ipad is functioning beautifully.
    Just thought I would give this a shot before heading into a store.
    Thanks and again sorry for the confusion I caused.

  • Iphoto 9.3 and Mountain Lion Problems : Cant access my library : rebuilding doesn't work just hangs for hours

    My Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard, had hard drive failure so I had to borrow a friends similar machine to access my iPhoto library ( 523 GB) on a 1TB drive after editing the photos and after exporting one folder of images the program quit and then asked me to repair which I tried hung up at 99% and would not open the event thumbnails . I have tried everything even trying to transfer the particular event from that library to a new library using iphoto manager just so I can export my project and send but still no success as it is telling me that it is getting no info from the library, I changed permissions on the drive ..still no success . I restarted Iphoto and it took hours to show the images but all events thumnails said "0" and it shows all the event cover photos as a gray photo with a palm tree in it or something . I tried rebuilding again this morning and the new library says "0" photos and a library size of 7.3 mb
    I got my own Macbook 17in back yesterday and downloaded Mountain Lion to my machine and Iphoto 9.3
    I tried to open the library which is 523 GB of images that used to work fine before getting an error message saying it needed to be repaired. I tried opening it with Iphoto 9.3 via I photo manager which told be that there were inconsistencies in the library and it needed to be repaired I chose that option and it is now the following day still "rebuilding thumbnails" since last night . This is a huge problem I have missed project deadlines and my income is severely affected by this situation of not being able to access my work. What can I do to fix this, access my files and export my overdue project at this point ?

    Terence I find it surprising that you would say use Iphoto Manager after saying that I used it to rebuild using it took me to 99% of the way and just hung. I even spent my $20 and got the latest version 3.8.3  which was supposed to remedy these issues. See below my email to Fat Cat software the makers of Iphoto Manager:
    "Email to Fat Cat Software : Re Iphoto problems:
    My Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard, had hard drive failure so I had to borrow a friends similar machine to access my iPhoto library ( 523 GB) on a 1TB drive
    after editing the photos and after exporting one folder of images the program quit and the asked me to repair which i tried …it hung up at 99% and would not open the event thumbnails .I have tried everything trying to transfer the particular event from the library to a new library using Iphoto Manager just so I can work on my project but still no success as IPLM is telling me that it is getting no info from the library, I changed permissions on the drive ..still no success .
    I opened it using IPLM and it took hours to show the images but all events said "0" and it shows all the event cover photos as a gray photo with a palm tree in it or something . I tried rebuilding again this morning and the new library says "0" photos and a library size of 7.3 mb . There
    really seems to be a serious problem with Iphoto 9.3 as it
    asks you to rebuild or repair the library then IPLM stops at 99% leaving
    the thumbnails
    unviewable and just hangs up after that or wont open and there the problems start.
    Please advise and give me some viable options on this issue."
    Its days later and the support at Fat Cat software emailed me asking a question and are apparently just as floored as I am with this malfunction ..I hope they are working feverishly to address this as my conclusion and solution is as follows :
    Using the older version of Iphoto Library Manager when my machine asked me to upgrade and rebuild instead of the first aid function in Iphoto 9.3 did not help but actually corrupted my library and downloading the latest version did not help remedy it either. What I should have done and am now doing is using the Iphoto first Aid function in Mountain Lion and Iphoto 9.3 using option command to rebuild the entire library. So far it is working with no hangups ...it is now rebuilding image version number 6715 and counting with 33000+ images to go ..if this solution really rebuilds then that is the ONLY way to go with this issue which has cost me a lot of time and money in missed deadlines , lost income and lost business . Iphoto and Iphoto Library manager are normally great in what their purposes are and in ease of use and function but whenawry with compatibility in version software issues arise things go terribly awry and the tedious painstaking fixes available that go for days on end  just do not cut it.

  • Iphoto library rebuild crashes with KERN_PROTECTION _FAILURE error

    My first post - and throwing myself to the mercy of the forums for help. Appreciate your ideas and help
    My problem started with installing iLife '11. As part of the instal it must rebuild the iphoto library. I got my EXCBADACCESS / KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE error. This led to me regressing back to the previous version of iPhoto (8.1.2
    The good news is that I can open my iPhoto library. Everything works well, no problems at all. I have about 40,000 images plus slideshows, photobooks, -> that s a lot of meta data and I dont want to lose it
    Now I need to get my iPhoto library in tip top condition - and then I can upgrade to the new version. However when I rebuild (ticking the first three tick boxes) it always crashes.
    I read on a post that .MOV files can upset iPhoto. So I deleted these from my library and imported them into iMovie instead
    I also had a troublesome corrupt photobook - so I deleted that
    I tried rebuilding the library with iPhoto Manager - but gave up when I read that the slideshows and photobooks do not transfer across
    I have the library backed up - so I can try different destructive ideas. But at 8 hours + to rebuild the library (it fails very very near the end of the process) and then about 12 hours to restore from backup then it takes a long time
    The failure is always the same high level message - with slightly different detailed logs
    I will paste one example below - just the first three pages - you can have more if you need
    Also please note the library lives on the internal HDD of the computer
    Appreciate any help

    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.

  • Failure to recognize iPhoto library and failure to import same images

    Okay so this one is strange. For some time now every time I open iPhoto is has had to rebuild itself. I took this as a bug and let it do it each time.
    Now with Photos being on my machine I saw this as an opportunity to see if it fixed the issue with the new app. I opened Photos and asked it to select the MASSIVE iPhoto library I use. It said it can not open that one and failed after several times trying it.
    I then took the step of exporting over 10k images and videos into a folder on one of my drives and then reviewing everything within the files to ensure no bad data or 0k files or anything. All looks good. I can however over and open each random file I tested and it looks okay. So the integrity of the images and videos seem okay to me.
    I then also reset the permissions on ALL the files to 777 and the folder to ensure that the system could do anything it wants with them.
    From here I tried to import them into Photos and instead of the 10,219 I am supposed to see it only imported a little over 3k and then said that the rest were not readable due to bad (or missing) meta data. I downloaded a meta data editor and tried to batch edit something like the date updated or date created to see if re-setting it with batch may update the meta data to a more modern format and allow for importing. That also did not work.
    So here I am with no way to get all my content into Photos and not help I can find anywhere online to work around this.
    I am almost tempted to run and PS script to open, process and save each file to get it to reset the information for each image. This seems like an extreme step but I am at a loss as to what to do other than have the system see them as totally new files.
    This is also NOT ideal as I will loose any meta data I did have like date creation and I will have 10k files that all think they were made today. Manually sorting everything again into albums is also not very exciting to me but without being able to direct open or import the iPhoto library I am not clear what else I can do.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for posting this because it explains a lot to me as a troubleshooter trying to help other people. No one should be using the guest network feature for their own devices. By default, most routers prevent devices on the guest network from accessing devices on the main network for security reasons. Some routers let you disable that security feature but it's a bad idea if you are letting other people use your guest network.
    Furthermore, everyone should have WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) disabled in their router if their router supports the "external registrar" authentication method. That's the method where you enter an 8-digit code which is printed on the bottom (or side) of the router into a device you want to add to your network. You can read more about this here:
    http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/723755
    To the best of my knowledge, Apple routers are not vulnerable to this exploit because they do not support "external registrar".
    The major brand with the worst exposure to this problem is Linksys because WPS currently cannot be disabled in their consumer routers (at the time I'm writing this). The situation should begin to improve in March 2012 as Linksys starts to roll out firmware upgrades for certain models. Here's a link to the Linksys firmware release schedule:

  • ITunes Library Rebuild From Apple TV After Hard Drive Crash

    I had my iTunes library and content on an external firewire hard-drive. I synched all of content, music, photo's and movies to my apple TV. My external hard drive completely failed -its dead.
    Is there a way to create a new itunes library and rebuild it by importing content from the Apple TV essentially reverse synching.

  • Intermittent import library generation failure building 64-bit binary in Visual Studio 2013

        I have a 64-bit c++ project that randomly fails to build because the import library generation silently fails in the link step.  I have scoured the "diagnostic level" log trying to find some hint at why the import library
    fails to be created, but there doesn't seem to be any information.
        It's pretty random.  When it fails, I can do a clean build and everything builds.  After a successful build, I can do another clean rebuild and see it fail again.
        The 32-bit version consistently builds fine.  I see the 64-bit problem regularly in any configuration (Release or Debug).
        I'm running VS2013 Update 2 RC.
        Any hints on how to debug this?  Is this a known issue for which there is a patch?

    Hi Anna, thanks for the reply.  Yes, this does reproduce in MSBuild if you specify a rebuild.  As mentioned previously, if you do a clean and build, even through MSBuild, the build succeeds every time.  
    There's no way for me to create a sample project.  Our codebase is quite large and this doesn't reproduce for simple example projects.  
    There is no error message when the iTunes.lib import library fails to build.  The import library is used in a dependent project and that fails in a way you would probably expect (complains about a missing .lib)...

  • RAW thumbnails missing after iPhoto library rebuild

    iPhoto would not open for me shortly after upgrading to Lion. I rebuilt the library using command + option with all checkboxes checked. All JPEG thumbnails were present, but all RAW thumbnails just showed a black box with a dashed line. When I double click the missing thumbnail, the image does appear in iPhoto.
    I then rebuilt the library a second time, but the problem is the same. The iPhoto library is in the normal place on the startup drive.
    RAW photos were generated with a Canon Digital Rebel and Canon 40D cameras. I do have Aperture on the system as well.

    As I say, I've seen it take 4 times to work.
    Other than that:
    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. 

  • Hung the iPhoto library rebuild

    Intermittently, iPhoto synchronizes all my events to my iPhone 4 or iPad 2 in random order. The events are not in alphabetical order (like I have the on the computer), or apparently even time-ordered, expect that the most recently created event does seem to appear at the very bottom of the list. This makes finding the events I want  on the phone/pad agonizing, since there are many events and many thousands of photos. To make matters worse, when I plug the device into the computer, and look at the synchronization details in iTunes, the list of events appears random there too. Albums and Faces are always in order. I've deleted all photos from the device, then re-synced. That seemed to help once and failed about 9 times. Occasionally the problem seems to fix itself for a while. Right now it's fine on my iPhone and messed up on my iPad. Suspecting library corruption, I tried to rebuild the iPhoto Library after making a backup. It gets to 98% then hangs forever when I ask for the first option (rebuild) with or without other options selected. If I ask for the rebuild from automated backups option, it gets to "Rebuilding Library: 14625 Versions restored" then hangs forever. If I only ask it to rebuild thumbnails (either of the 2 options) it has no trouble.
    I'm stumped. Anyone have experience with this issue???

    I've got the same problem with iPhoto. Hangs at 69% when rebuild; hangs at a large number of items when rebuilding from backup. If I try to rebuild from backup, wait for the hang, and then force quit, the library is corrupted and iPhoto opens up with nothing. I have to use Time Machine to rebuild.

  • Aperture 3 Library Rebuild - Not getting the option..

    Hi,
    I'm very frustrated. Running 3.01 and unable to export anything - all my photos are locked into Aperture!! I am trying to Rebuild my library. I have tried Command+Option when double-clicking on the Aperture Library yet it just starts as normal and immediately goes into "processing". I twice managed to get the option to repair/rebuild etc but that's in about 50 attempts. I just have tried this at least 20-30 times and still nothing. Is there another way of getting this option up??
    My first ever post - you are my only hope!!
    Thanks,
    Stuart.

    If this isn't working for you (not sure why as it worked for myself and most others who have posted the SHIFT key solution...) try this:
    Locate which project is being processed for photos, count from the end backwards to locate the 31st photo if this is the photo number where your processing activity hangs. You can verify by individually generating a new thumbnail for each photo until the hang starts again. After locating the troublesome photo: remove the photo to your desktop. Reimport the photo to the project. See if this works. I too had one bad photo in a mobileme gallery having a problem generating a thumbnail. While I could use the shift key to boot into Aperture and work, to fix the problem I had to remove and then reimport the photo to make a proper thumbnail and stop the process loop each time I wanted to publish my specific gallery. I did, however, notice that my photo was a panorama. Sometimes wonky things happen with panos and I think it has something to do with the EXIF data. Perhaps it was the name of the master file. Not sure...good luck and post any developments.
