Lost iphoto images upon upgrade

I have upgraded to Iphoto6. When I opened Iphoto, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade the current photos in the Iphoto. I said yes. It upgraded these and they are now in a folder.
The prior folders and slide shows still appear. However, when you try to open them the screen has a blank figure. I think it is a dash. There are not photos showing in these prior folders and slide shows.
Should these be deleted as not useful?
I guess then if I want a slide show I need to remake the slide show from the photos in the upgraded folder?
Thank you
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8) Iphoto

The photos are in a folder titled; Recovered photos. This folder is along the list of folders. Prior folders, named Brazil, etc. are still there, but they do not seem to have anything in them.
Thanks for the assisstance.
v6 uses a different file structure to v5 and earlier. Hence the empty Brazil etc. Folder.
A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
The Standard Warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
As to the blanks: This caused by iPhoto being unable to import these pics during the upgrade procedure. If you're sure the blanks correspond to the pics in the Recovered Folder, then delete the blanks from iPhoto and empty the iPhoto Trash. Move the Recovered Folder to the desktop and try re-import the pics from there.
Regards

Recovering lost iPhoto images??

Hi all,
I'm a complete idiot here! I thought I had backed everything up before I upgraded to leopard, and I did. The one thing I forgot, was probably the most important--
Does anyone know if it is possible to recover an iPhoto library after upgrading to leopard?
I know this is desperate, and to make matters worse - I did a clean install, erasing what was previously on my hard drive.
Thank you so much to anyone who can provide some input!

I am confused, do you have a copy of your iPhoto library on your backup? If so, you should be able to just copy the library back to your computer. When you start iPhoto, hold down the option key which will give you the option of creating a new iPhoto library or choosing an existing one. Click on the option to choose one and navigate to the library you just copied over. It should open without any problems.
If any on the other hand, you do not have a copy of the library on the backup disk, you might be out of luck. Sorry.

Have lost iphoto images.after upgradewhich I quit.Quit/upgrade pop up keeps coming up. Press upgrade,does then returns to pop up same. Can I retieve iphotoshots?

I pressed for upgrade of my Iphoto, in a hurry, wouldn't usually just do this, anyway the pop up quit or upgrade keeps coming up. If I press upgrade it doesthis then the pop up returns saying to quit or upgrade... very circular. have no images coming up on my Iphoto when I had 1000's.your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of Iphoto.I had pressed quit....nothing happens..press upgrade the same message comes up. Can I recover my Iphoto pics and how? Can I revert to original Iphoto and library pre upgrade and how? Can I istlll something to upgrade Iphoto Library to make it compatible with Iphoto upgrade and retieve my Iphotos ?
Thanks

Whew, changes to iPhoto are ridiculous, but what OSX version are you on? 10.5.8?
Was any of iPhoto involved with an iPhone/iPad?
I'd get GraphicConverter...

Use it's powerful Btrowse Folder function to see what pics really exist.

Lost all songs upon upgrade

I was purchasing songs when it said i needed to upgrade itunes. in doing son, i lost all previously purchashed songs & ended up with 286 items belonging to someone else?? any ideas on how to fix this??

"any ideas on how to fix this??"

I hated itunes when I first bought my ipod and, well, you can imagine what i think of the POS now.
It'd be nice if Apple would help us out here.

Lost iphoto images

All my images from iphotos have gone. I am not sure why. The Mac may have been switched off at the plug by mistake, I don't know if this is the reason. I regularly make back ups but can't seem to find the files on passport. Can anyone help?

If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 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.

Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there?

It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?

1. No, you haven't.
2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.

Upon upgrading iPhoto, iPhoto Help no longer works. It gives the error message: "The selected topic is currently unavailable. To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet." Help!?

Upon upgrading iPhoto, iPhoto Help no longer works. It gives the error message: "The selected topic is currently unavailable. To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet." I am obviously connected to the internet since you are reading this.
I tried upgrading permissions but it did not help!? Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thanks

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone help?

After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone please help? I am not an advanced user and I would like my photos back, having had no idea I would lose iPhoto in the upgrade!

Thanks petermac87...but for some reason, the only purchases showing are OS. So assuming iPhoto is in Mountain Lion, I was hoping to look under Hidden Items there as you suggested, but there is no option for that. Only option is to download Mountain Lion again, not iPhoto specifically. Any ideas welcome!

I'm using iPhoto 11, and instead of seeing my images in the main view, I see only outlines. (Had same problem in iPhoto 10 before upgrade to Lion Help!

I'm using iPhoto 11, and instead of seeing my images in the main view, I see only outlines. (Had same problem in iPhoto 10 before upgrade to Lion Help!
I'm on a Macbook Pro and all of my software is up-to-date.
The photos and events, etc. appear to be present in my photo library, but I cannot see the actual images--only an outlined placeholder.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take 3 or 4 goes to work.

I upgraded to Maverick O/S and I can no longer right click on iPhoto images to find my photo files. My photo files are not where they were before upgrade.

Have you checked the sorting settings to make sure they are as you expect?

Upgraded to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS and now iPhoto images are blurred...WHY?

I've just upgraded to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS and the iPhoto images are blurred? WHY?
They were fine before...so now my screen saver is blurred and looks low res...all my images are crap quality...what is going on Apple?
Checked the photos on my laptop and they are crystal clear...anyone else have the same problem?
I wish I'd stuck with the old software now.

I also had the same issue. I upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to the new software about a week ago. Yesterday the photos on my phone were blurry. I "googled" the issue and ended up here. Synced my phone and now all is well! thanks for the help.

I just upgraded to Yosemite. Iphoto is now broken. Upon upgrade receiving error "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."

I just upgraded to Yosemite. Iphoto is now broken. Upon upgrade receiving error "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept iPhoto into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move it out of the Applications folder(it may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download it for free from its individual product page.
3. Click here and contact Apple.

In upgrading my OS X to 10.6, I lost iPhoto. How do I regain capability?

In upgrading my OS X from 10.4 to 10.6, I lost iPhoto. How can I regain iPhoto capability so I can access to my iPoto Library in the backup disk and downlaod from my camera?
Thank you!

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

Yosemite upgrade lost iphoto access.

Yosemite upgrade lost iphoto access. Cloud says I cant import "library: because I need 43 more GB ? I had no problem with iphoto in old version. Now I cant even see photos to edit or delete.

Ive lost the iphoto icon , so dont knnow how to access all my photos stored there. and yes, I would like to see what's on that "Photo" icon, but it delivers no photos.All I can get is a welcome page, + "get started"--which leads me to the message that they cant import my library due to not enough GB...

Will my old iphoto images be in the lion upgrade?

will my old iphoto images be in the lion upgrade?

Before you upgrade anything you must make a back up of all your important data.
Install. The photos should be there afterwards, if not then you have your back up, right?
