List on left with sources and albums is gone !!

Somehow I moved, the collum on the left in Iphoto with the list of sources like events, pictures - albums - shared - mobile ME gallery etc, all I can get to show up is a screen with the latest import !! (latest event)
I hope it is some simple setting I need to change, but after plowing through the whole menu I cannot find anything that makes the "root" appear again.
Please help me !!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try placing the cursor at that edge, move it around till it changes to a cross and drag to the right. If you can't get it to do that then close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, relaunch iPhoto and see if it's back.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I turned on my macbook pro and ALL my libraries and albums are gone from iPhoto, any ideas

    I turned on my macbook pro and ALL my libraries and albums are gone from iPhoto, any ideas
    I already tried the hold down option command key and rebuild, didn't work
    HELP PLEASE
    no I do not have a bckup

    What size if the Library as indicated in the Finder?  If it's large enough to be holding your photos then your photos are probably still in there but the library is damaged.  If the tags you used indicate iLife 11 then try the following:
    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 Library ➙ 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 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    If the above falils to recover your photos continue with this:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Working with projects and albums in the browser

    I have already posted a question about how to find a project or album. If you have TONS of projects and albums how do you find a specific one in the browser? I cannot see any way to sort other than alphabetically and there is no way to search project or album names.
    By the same token, and this is my new question, how do you easily display in the viewer all the files in a project? (a project may contain albums with images that are not stored on the root level of that project, so highlighting the project in the browser does not display them). Or similarly, how do you display in the viwer the images contained in several albums? There eseems to be no way to simultaneaously selct albums or projects. You can have several tabs open but not see the images together in the viewer. In fact to make a slide show off all the images in one project you have to create an album and manually put in all the images.
    Similarly, there is no way of making a smart album of all the images in a project or determined albums, which would have been a work around for all these issues.....
    Am I missing something really obvious????????? It all seems so basic. Even iphoto lets you do these things! HELP, APPLE!!!!!!!!

    Hola Francisco,
    Aperture is a much more powerful software than iPhoto and it's crucial to understand the way its library works to get the most of its organization capabilities.
    Master images can only be placed (physically) inside projects. These are then image containers. An album only has links to images, and this links can go to any project. So even if an album is inside a project it could be displaying images that are not inside that project but somewhere else (if you drag and drop from other project previously).
    On the project panel, projects are display in alphabetical order, but you can also use blue folders to organize projects. My project panel is organized as follows:
    Project '1. Imports': A project created to automatically recieve all the photos when a card is inserted in my card reader. I use a hot folder with automator for this.
    Blue folder '2. Smart Albums': This blue folder has all the smart albums I need to quickly find any image in the library.
    Blue folder '3. Work': This folder has all the projects related to my work.
    Blue folder '4. Travel': Contains projects of my travel photography divided by country.
    Blue folder '5. Portrait': Contains projects of portrait sessions.
    Blue folder '6. Social & Events': Contains projects of differents events I shoot.
    Project '7. Templates': Contains photoshop templates to create 9 in 1 frames, etcetera.
    As you can see I use numbers in front of every name to keep them in the order I want. Then the metadata does the rest, I add keywords to easily find ANY image in seconds, doesn't matter how long I did it.
    A Smart album will search inside the whole Library if you create it at 'All images' level, then you can drag it to a folder to organize them if you want.
    I'd recommend the book by Ben Long and Orlando Luna, it made me squeeze all the potential of Aperture, way beyond the manual that came with the program.

  • How to get started Organizing photos with tags and albums

    Apporximately 15,000
    Mostly family, vacations, travel, etc over 30 years
    What is the BEST way to get started?  Should I tag them first or put them in albums and sub-albums and then try to tag and further identify them?  I know nothing of how is best to proceed.
    I am oveerwhelmed with the process and cannot seem to find a starting point.  I have looked at many of the tutorials, but cannot find a "1-2-3 A-B-C" roadmap.
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    I would recommend doing all (okay, almost all) of your organizing via tags. Don't bother using albums unless there are a subset of photos that you want to display somehow (like a slideshow, or photobook) in which case albums are the right tool. Also, make sure that when appropriate, you add the proper captions and notes.
    I would start by using pencil and paper (or word processor) to make a list of categories and tags, in the appropriate hierarchy, that you might want. For example, in the people category, there are tags Jones Family, Smith Family, etc. (and sub-tags with people's names) In the event category, there are tags Vacation, Beach, Christmas, Hanuka, etc. Other categories you might want: Location (example: New York, Boston, Illinois), Content (mountain, church, waterfall, gorilla, historical site). This part completely depends on you.
    Once you have this hiearachy of categories and tags to your liking, start creating/adding the tags (and captions and notes if needed) to your photos. You can work in small batches. Eventually you will have all your photos tagged (trust me, I know, I did this too).
    Do NOT: move photos or folders from here to there, or rename them ... this is unnecessary extra work, as you will be using your tags from this point forward to locate your photos (exception: if you want/need to move the photos to a different hard disk, then by all means do so).

  • Problem with CoverFlow and album art.

    Most of the albums in my cover flow show up properly with the artwork downloaded with the album or with artwork that I supplied.
    A few of the albums, however, show the art separately for each song in the album. For instance, one album with 17 songs in it shows up in Cover Flow as 17 albums with one song in each. Another shows up with the first and second songs in two separate albums and the rest of the songs in a third album, all with the same art.
    How can I get each album to show one time in Cover Flow, with all the songs for that album in that one album?

    This article has good examples of why that happens:

  • L2L VPN with source and destination NAT

    Hello,
    i am new with the ASA 8.4 and was wondering how to tackle the following scenario.
    The diagram is
    Customer ---->>> Firewall --->> L2L VPN --->> Me --->> MPLS ---> Server
    The server is accessible by other tunnels in place but there is no NAT needed. For the tunnel we are talking about it is
    The Customer connects the following way
    Source: 198.1.1.1
    Destination: 192.168.1.1
    It gets to the outside ASA interface which should translate the packets to:
    Source: 10.110.110.1
    Destination: 10.120.110.1
    On the way back, 10.120.110.1 should be translated to 192.168.1.1 only when going to 198.1.1.1
    I did the following configuration which I am not able to test but tomorrow during the migration
    object network obj-198.1.1.1
    host 198.1.1.1
    object network obj-198.1.1.1
    nat (outside,inside) dynamic 10.110.110.1
    For the inside to outside NAT depending on the destination:
    object network Real-IP
      host 10.120.110.1
    object-group network PE-VPN-src
    network-object host 198.1.1.1
    object network Destination-NAT
    host 192.168.1.1
    nat (inside,outside) source static Real-IP Destination-NAT destination static PE-VPN-src PE-VPN-src
    Question is if I should create also the following or not for the outside to inside flow NAT? Or the NAT is done from the inside to outside estatement even if the traffic is always initiated from outside interface?
    object network obj-192.168.1.1
    host 192.168.1.1
    object network obj-192.168.1.1
    nat (outside,inside) dynamic 10.120.110.1

    Let's use a spare ip address in the same subnet as the ASA inside interface for the NAT (assuming that 10.10.10.251 is free (pls kindly double check and use a free IP Address accordingly):
    object network obj-10.10.10.243
      host 10.10.10.243
    object network obj-77.x.x.24
      host 77.x.x.24
    object network obj-10.10.10.251
      host 10.10.10.251
    object network obj-pcA
      host 86.x.x.253
    nat (inside,outside) source static obj-10.10.10.243 obj-77.x.x.24 destination static obj-10.10.10.251 obj-86.x.x.253
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I get a list of locations with address and contact info?

    In Adobe Story Plus, I've gone through the effort of entering address and contact info for all locations. I would like to now use this information.
    When I choose Sets and Locations, I get the set names only, separated by Studio and Location. No locations, no addresses.
    When I choose to export the Set List as XML, I get an XML file that seem to contain the address information. However, it does not appear to be a valid XML file, readable neither in Excel nor Google Docs.
    Are there reports that I can create that include this information? Is there a useful way to export XML and open in Excel/Number/Google Docs/Word, etc?
    I'm about to embark on a search to how the XML can be formatted properly but this isn't really where I wanted to be spending my time on this project.
    Thanks.

    Yes. I tried it on Windows version.
    Would you mind doing the following steps to view that XML file as a table in Safari? Then from safari, you can copy paste it Excel.
    1. Export the Set List XML from Story.
    2. Extract the 'transformSetListIntoTable.xsl' file from the attached zip file and place it in the same directory in which Set List XML is present.
    3. Open the Set List xml file in a text editor and paste the following text at its very beginning.
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="transformSetListIntoTable.xsl"?>
    4. Save the changes.
    5. Open the Set List xml file in Safari
    6. In Safari, Select All and paste it inside Excel.

  • List all servers with OS and service pack

    Is there an easy way using any script or software to list all servers joined to your domain including operating system (i.e. server 2008) and service pack level, without having to check each manually?

    Hi Cf090,
    The limit is used to Specify the number of objects to return that matches the criteria that you specify. If you specify a value of
    0 for <NumberOfObjects>, this parameter returns all matching objects. If you do not specify this parameter,
    dsquery displays the first 100 results by default.

  • All events and albums are gone from iPhoto

    My library is still in the same location and still 540GB big, but when I open it there is nothing in iPhoto.

    My library is still in the same location and still 540GB big, but when I open it there is nothing in iPhoto.
    What has changed?  Did you just update or upgrade iPhoto to the new version 9.6, to be compatible with Yosemite?
    Is iPhoto opening the correct library? Ctrl-click the word "iPhoto" in the title bar of the main iPhoto window. The drop-down menu will show you, which iPhoto library is currently open.
    If the correct library is open, but looking empty, select the iPhoto Library in the Finder and look inside by ctrl-clicking it and using the command "Show Package Contents". Are there photos in the folder "Masters", or is there a folder "Old Masters"?

  • IPod Music and Album Art gone haywire after restore/updates/sync

    First post !
    Since my PC (Win7Pro 64bit) had SP1 installed, iPod Touch (2G) is going nuts. Sent to Apple - latest OS and iTunes (64bit)installed and all OK they said - but now when syncing from iTunes,Album Artwork is gobble-de-gook and some music jumps to next song part way (1/2) through playing. Some tracks have wrong names and some have no artwork at all.
    Have restored (as per Apple Cust.Support) and tried to resync but still all over the place. Still under warranty but they found no fault at Service.
    Easy to blame M/Soft but every other thing attached works fine (Nokia,Samsung,Logitech, etc.) Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thankyou.

    did you ever find a resolution to this? i have almost the same issue on my iPhone. thanks

  • Projects and Albums out of order

    It used to be Projects and Albums would line up in alphabetical order when created in Aperture Libraries. It hasbn't been happening for me in recent updates, and I can't find a way to set this in preferences. Even worse, some times albums won't let me change their order — they snap into different order than I drag them in. Don't know what's happening.

    When you drag any project or album, Aperture switches to Manual arrangement of all.
    Click on the gear icon at the top right of the Library list Sidebar, choose Keep Projects and Albums arranged by, and choose alphabetic if that is what you want.  You can't modify by dragging, though.

  • Lost all photos and albums in iPhoto version 9.4.3

    Hi all, I'm currently using iPhoto version 9.4.3.
    Didn't do anything out of the norm but lost all my imported photos from my iPhone that I've painstakingly put into albums.
    Only thing I did differently was shutting down my laptop cos I was catching a plane. After restarting my laptop and iPhoto, I realised all photos and albums were gone.
    Read solutions abt rebuilding libraries but didn't work.
    HELP! Not sure what to do next, so anything suggestions will be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

    OK this seems to be too hard for someone to answer, mmmm
    I am having problems with photo and album pages, I drag and drop photos to the page, looks good when I am building them but when I send them out into cyberspace, NO can C, not on the page, the page is there but no photo.
    Could anyone like to take a punt at the answer to this is PLEASE.
    Many Many Thanks for your help in this

    The same is happening to me. I first noticed it at the beginning of this month. Everything looks good on the iWeb creation page (pictures are visible) but after you publish and visit the published site online, the pictures are GONE. You can scroll down as if the pictures were taking up the space but no pictures. I click on the other tabs that I have with other events (which previously had pictures on them too!) and they're gone as well.
    I'm using iWeb '08 version 2.0.4 on my OS 10.5.5 and I used iPhoto 7.1.4
    Can anyone help fix this!??!?!
