Mavericks and iPhoto 7.1.5 - missing events

Seems like this is a problem lots of folks are having, but none of the answers fits my situation... I think. I have my 85 gig library on an secondary internal drive on my MacPro ('08). Updated to mavericks on Oct 24 or so. Haven't used iPhoto subsequently until today, when I thought I would investigate why my new iPad Air is not showing the events I asked iTunes to send to the Air. I opened iPhoto and most, but not all, of my photos over the past 12 years are no longer visible. The albums, events and slideshow twirlys are all there, but nothing inside. I opened "the package" and there are folders for each year, with event names inside holding my photos. Don't know how to fix this.
First thought was manually adding the older folders to the Library. Will that work? Will events and album reappear? Would you recommend adding each year's folder to the Library to keep everything together?
Second thought was to upgrade to the latest iPhoto and hope it can reconnect everything. My fear about this approach is that I already have some sort of corrupted file relationship and adding another layer might make things worse.
I have run DiskWarrior on the drive and well as Disk Utility. Nothing amiss found.
Worried and look forward to your helpful recommendations!

You did run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5, right? Or did you keep your iPhoto 7 application in which case you woudn't need to use that updater? Which is it?
In either case apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why are there some blank boxes where photos should be? maverick and iphoto 11

Upgraded to Maverick and iPhoto 11(ver 9.5) and now some of the boxes in photos and events have no photos in them. Tried rebuilding thumbnails and repairing database, but no change. Mistakenly, I closed out screen that first appeared when iPhoto opened for first time that asked permission to do some task and perhaps this is the cause of the problem?

Do you have a backup copy of the library from just before you upgraded to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5? If so restore it to your Pictures folder and try again to open it with iPhoto.
Otherwise, run the first aid again and select the last option, Rebuild Database. See if that helps. If not try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
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.

I updated to OS X Mavericks and iPhoto 11 and my photos for the last 2 month disappeared. I have a Mac Mini.

On 10/25/2013 OS X on my Mac mini was updated to Mavericks and iPhoto was updated to iPhoto 11. Since then the photos in iPhoto from the last 2 months have disappeared. Has anyone had a similar complaint? Thank you. harck.

Since then the photos in iPhoto from the last 2 months have disappeared.
Just a hunch - the "last two month" sounds like an photo stream sync problem.
How did you import the photos from the last two month? Were they in the Photo Stream? Then enable your Photo Stream again in the Sytem Preferences iCloud pane and iPhoto Preferences iCloud tab. This option might have been disabled. If you did not download your recent photos automatically from from the stream, the photo stram must be disabled to show them.
Also, your "last import" event might be empty after the upgrade of the library. Try to sort your events differently, to bring the last event to the top of the list in "Events" view.

After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

Why are Panasonic GX7 RAW photos not visible in Aperture but in OS X Mavericks and iPhoto?

My Panasonic GX7 RAW photos seem to be visible in OS X Mavericks and iPhoto, but bizarrely not in Aperture (3.5.1).
Does anyone know why this would be? Any solution greatly appreciated.
I've been unable to mange a significant number of images for almost 7 months now due to Aperture's lack of GX7 RAW support and am seriously considering migrating to Lightroom 5. Aperture has been my workflow application of choice for the last 7 or 8 years, but I feel the current situation has become unacceptable and deeply disappointing .

That camera was supported in digital camera Raw 5.0.1 and Aperture 3.4.5 or later. As you say the files are supported in iPhoto it seems you have the right Raw file.
Have you tried it with new imports in Aperture does it still fail? What if you reprocess the Raw files in Aperture, any change?

Maverick and iPhoto 9.5.1 freezes

I have a Mac OS X 10.9.3 and iPhoto 9.5.1. Since the upgrade to Maverick and the new iPhoto, I can open iPhoto, but cannot edit, share, put event names, etc, without it freezing with the never-ending beach ball. My library is on external hard drive. I don't know if that makes a difference. After importing photos from a SD card and then trying to edit one photo and move to the next one, it completely froze for at least 15 minutes. I had to force quit and subsequently lost all the imported photos. What can I do to make iPhoto functional again?
Thanks

And note that having yoru iphtoo library on the same drive as your Time Machine backup means you have no backup of your photos - a drive failure loses both yorou :"backup" and you library - and if they both are on the same volume you sill have bigger problems as TM fils the drive and iPhtoo can not write to the library
You really need another external drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) both for safety of your photos and reliability of your iPhoto library

Is ILife 11 the current version today? Will its purchase upgrade my Iphoto 8.2.1 to Iphoto 11? I have a Macbook, Maverick and Iphoto is crashing when exporting photos. I understand ILife is the way to fix it.

Is ILife 11 the current version today? (May 2014). ILife 11 on Amazon appears to be 3+ yrs old?
When searching for ILife 11 on the Apple Store, I am directed to a separate purchase of Iphoto version 9.
Somewhat confusing, Apple is always so clear with these things.
The goal is to upgrade my Iphoto 8.2.1 to Iphoto 11.
I have a Macbook Pro, Maverick 10.9.2 and Iphoto is crashing when exporting photos.
I understand ILife is the way to fix it.
Thanks!

The current version of iPhoto is iPhoto 9.5.1., and it is the latest version of iPhoto '11.
If you are running Mavericks 10.9.2, you can buy iPhoto 9.5.1 from the AppStore - it is the currently sold version.
The iLife bundle is called iLife '11, and the iPhot version in iLife '11 is iPhoto 9.x.x. - that is confusing allright
I have a Macbook Pro, Maverick 10.9.2 and Iphoto is crashing when exporting photos.
While it is certainly useful to upgrade to the current iPhoto version to be fully compatible with MacOs X 10.9.2, there may be a differnet reason for the crashes. Is there an error message with the crashes? When did these start? Did you import new photos or videos? Install other software?

Mavericks and iPhoto panic

Just updated to OS X Mavericks and realized too late that I should have backed up my photos. Read that I will need to purchase (yawn) iPhoto but am super concerned that my photos will be lost. Is there a way to save them that I should be doing before updating?

You can copy your iPhoto Library folder to external media (DVD or external drive) before upgrading iPhoto nut a new version of the app doesn't mess with it during the install.

Mavericks and iPhoto

I installed Mavericks and can't open iPhoto, and my system (10.7.5) won't let me install iPhoto 9.4.3. And I'm freaking out. Please help!

I downloaded Mavericks a few days ago but last night must have been the first time I've actually restarted. I click on iPhoto in my dashboard to open it and a box pops up that looks like its iPhoto but I get the spinny rainbow wheel forever and it doesn't open. It then takes ages to even get to my finder to force quit it. So that's the crux of it, but I'll answer your specific questions:
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
As I said, it's been happening since last night. Mavericks was installed, nothing deleted. No error messages.
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
I've come on here! That's it so far.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Nothing that I'm aware of.
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Yes - my macbook pro has a 500mb HD and on it, among other things, I have 144gb of photos. When I go to my applications and select iPhoto and 'about this mac', I can see that the file size is 144gb so I don't seem to have deleted anything. Also, very, very stupidly I have never done a time machine backup or any kind of back up. I just went to John Lewis and bought an external drive. Should I do a time machine backup before I do anything else?
Thanks in advance for reading all of this.

Problems with Mavericks and iphoto

I updated from Snow Leapord to Mavericks. So far everything works exept iphoto on an external drive. It starts up and says it has to update the library. As it goes through, it hangs up on step 6 of 11. Computer is completely locked up and all I can do is shut down with the on/off button. Not sure what to do, and are my photos lost?

gotitans, I think you have an entirely different problem than we are discussing in this thread.
You should open your own thread, and you should describe your problems in more detail. For example, what type of Mac do you have, what operating system does it run, what version of iPhoto did you have running before the upgrade,and just what sort of upgrade did you do (hardware, operating system, iPhoto, something else)?
My best guess from just that message is that you did a hardware upgrade, and your version of iPhoto is too old to run on the new hardware.
ntgerh64, it would probably be good if you gave us the same details I asked of gotitans. I was assuming you were talking about upgrading OS X to Mavericks and then iPhoto to 9.5 or 9.5.1.

Mavericks and iphoto, has the library been duplicated?

When I installed Mavericks, I had 10GB of space, after opening iPhoto my space diminished to 900MB. Is this due to a duplication of the iPhoto library?

Faces gone after upgrades to Mavericks and iPhoto database.

After upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, the iPhoto Database had to be upgraded by iPhoto to work with Mavericks. It went thru the process and afterwards many (but not all) of my Faces were gone. The photos are still there...and they're still tagged with the appropriate Faces name, but they will not show up in Faces. The only way I can get them to show up there is to delete the Faces names that are already on the photo and re-enter the Faces from scratch. But since there are at least 1500 photos that are affected, there's got to be a better way! I've done each of the following to no avail:
1) Repaired permissions.
2) Rebuilt Thumbnails.
3) Repaired the Database
4) Rebuilt the Database
5) Restored the Database from Time Machine to pre-Mavericks. The database had to be converted by iPhoto like before. And the results are the same - lots and lots of Faces missing - though everything else appears to be there. The only thing I can see is that it's the same set of years where the Faces are missing (it's something like all Faces from 1942-1970 are missing - but the ones before and after that are there).
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Since you've tried all of the standard fixes there's only one left:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
If no change try rebuilding the thumbnails again.

New to Mac and IPhoto, would like to organise events

Hello, i have just bought the new macbook pro and I'm trying to sort all of the photos I have uploaded... I think i understand correctly that all photos are stored as an event...you can then edit these and store them as an album (similar to itunes where you would create a playlist) I would like to sort the photos within events as at the minute they all appear within the same album and I would like them sorted rather than creating new albums that would essentially keep everything as is but duplicate the photo. I'm unsure whether to delete the photos are upload again? Hope someone can help!!

iPhoto works similarly to iTunes. Every photo is in the Library and everything else is a subset of the Library.
There are two ways of viewing the Library: One is Events - this is the Library broken into chunks, based on the date and time of the photos. The other view is called Photos, and that's just your whole Library.
Albums are groupings of photos from the Library. They are different from Events in one major way: Photos in Albums simply reference the photos in the Library. A photo can be in 50 albums and use no extra disk space, as it's the same photo that' been referenced. Events use the actual photos. To have a photo in two Events requires a duplicate file, and hence twice the disk space.
I'm afraid I don't understand your query:
I would like to sort the photos within events as at the minute they all appear within the same album...
Photos within Events cannot all appear with the same Album, the two terms are not interchangeable.
...nd I would like them sorted rather than creating new albums that would essentially keep everything as is but duplicate the photo
As I said above, photos in Albums do not duplicate anything.
Events cannot be manually sorted. They are simple, basic level organisation. The day you want to sort manually is the day you outgrow Events
FWIW: Here's a canned post I use to describe an organising set up in iPhoto. Perhaps it will spark something for you:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 30k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.
By all means post again if I haven't answered your query.

Iphoto does not start after update to mavericks and iphoto 9.5

Option 1
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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
