Missing pictures from PhotoBooth after insatlling Leopard

I made a full backup to my Tiger system on my iMac, installed Leopard on a clean partition, copied back the pictures to the PhotoBooth library, but I can not view them, only new pictures taken after the Leopard.
Any ideas?

Thanks o8ber0n!
In 10.5 (and later) I see that the Recents.plist is now in ~/Library/Application Support/Photo Booth
So... for those of you having the same issue, to fix this first make a copy of your Recents.plist by doing the following (from Terminal):
# cd /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Photo Booth/
# cp Recents.plist Recents.plist_backup
Next, you'll want to generate a list of all of the photos/movies you have in your Photo Booth directory:
# cd /Users/username/Pictures/Photo Booth
# for file in *; do echo " <string>$file</string>"; done
Take the output from line above, copy it and paste it into the Recents.plist you made a backup of earlier. (replacing the existing <string> entries) I used nano from the command line, but you could use your favorite text editor to do the same. Save Recents.plist, fire up Photo Booth, and get back to the fun.
I love this Mac... and the collaborative effort here.

I lost hundreds of pictures from iPhoto after upgrading to Mavericks

I lost hundreds of pictures from iphoto after upgrading to mavericks. does anyone know why or how to retrieve them. i cannot find them on time machine either.

and
Why do you think you have lost "hundreds" of pictures?
What exactly are you seeing
You can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Mail displays a code when sending a picture from Photobooth. Any ideas ?

Hello everyone,
I have a problem since I bought my MacBook pro (Os X Lion 10.7.5) :
When I am sending a picture from Photobooth by clicking on the "email" icon, the receipient of the mail can't see the picture but just a code.
(For example : "ª◊} ÿåäa≈”Q®K ! ÜË.0T˛≠")
Any suggestions ?
Thank you very much for your answer.

Unusual dashed box has replaced missing pictures in Iphoto after transfer...

Hello Mac community! I recently purchased a new macbook pro OS X (Mavericks version 10.9.2) and had the mac store transfer all of my iphotos etc. from my previous macbook pro to this new one. When opening iphoto on my new mac, the majority of my pictures in my iphoto library are missing, and a strange box of dashed lines has replaced them. What does this mean? Heres whats strange..Many of my pictures did indeed transfer properly to my new iphoto library but there are random events that are completly missing pictures ( being replaced by the dashed box) Why did these pictures not transfer properly to my new laptop? How can i recover these pictures? Thanks to anyone who is willing to help me! Im lost without my pictures!

really hard to say what was done wrong since we have no idea what was done
Do you still have the old computer? If so transfer the iPhoto library again properly - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
That probably will fix things

Getting Disconected From Internet After Snow Leopard Upgrade - Solved

I know there are many ideas on this site about this topic but i just want to share mine. I stared having problems with my internet connection after I have upgraded to Snow Leopard. I tried few suggestions from this site and from the web but nothing worked for me. I decided to backup everything and do a clean install of SL.
After I did clean install I started to re-install all my applications, my internet connection was working fine at that time until I installed Skype. As soon as Skype connects to the internet I’m back to the old problem where my internet connection would drop every few minutes. As soon as I removed Skype everything was back to normal no more dropped connections.
Hope this helps someone with the same problem

It's not Skype.....it's Growl - part of that package...

Error Publishing to Mobileme from iWeb09 after Snow Leopard Update

I am trying to publish the website i created using iWeb09. I managed to publish it the first time but, when i upgraded to Snow Leopard recently i have been getting an error in publishing site changes and publishing the entire site as well.
I read the other posts on this and have done the following
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - try to log in with a bogus account name and password. This supposedly clears the caches.
3 - log in with the correct account name and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try publishing again.
close iweb
delete following in your home folder
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iWeb
~/Library/Caches/iWeb/
empty trash
shut down and restart
open iweb (which rewrites the deleted files afresh)
choose site and Publish entire site from file menu.
Nothings worked so far.
Any help is highy appreciated

You could try asking Apple for help: MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement. Other Apple support options are here.

Missing menus from SPRO after a SAP All In One install

Hi guys hoping someone could point me in the right direction on this one.
About a year ago I build 3 SAP AIO systems (one being dev, another being UAT, last being Production).
The way I installed was to use the manual on all 3 systems and not to install the base and then transport modifications over, the reason for this is that it seemed the safest way. After about 12 months a have had a user come back to be and say that the UAT system and the PROD systems are different and that the PROD system is missing the following menus under the Logistics - General menu in IMG
The missing items in the production system are
Article Hierarchy
Generice Hierarchy
Price Level Groups.
I have check SFW5 in both system and both of them have the same options selected in the Business Function Status's
As I have been out of BASIS for almost 12 months I have no idea where to look here to see which part of the install didn't work.
I think a good start would be "Does anyone know how I could be missing menus out of IMG when the Business Function Status are correct"?
One last thing is that Production isn't live yet, hence why they have only just found it.

Hi,
As you could not find any difference in the business functions of both the systems I would ask u to make sure that both the systems are at the same support pack/add-on level. This may be the cause for the missing menus.

I am unable to transfer my pictures from iphoto after editing back to my external hard disc. How do I do it. Previously I used Windows and this is the first time I am using a Macbook. Need help and tutorials.. Where can I find em..

Hi there, I am new to Apple Iphoto. I am having lots of problems in transferring my edited photos back to my external Hard disc after editing. How am I able to do it. will it be able to open in Windows OS... Previously I was using Windows and now i m new in using the Apple OS.. Need guidance.. Would really appreciate if any1 of u guys could help me through. are there any other applications that I could use to edit pictures.

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here

Missing pictures in iPhoto after 10.6 to 10.7.5 upgrade

Hello Everyone,
I was running 10.6 on my iMac 27" 3.06 GHz with iPhoto ('09 I guess ?) Backed up continuously with time machine.
The HD broke so the local store replaced the drive but pre-loaded 10.7.5 on it so when I backed up the whole uMac I ended up with 10.7.5 [side issue - I have no copy of 10.7.5 !].
Then I realised that for a few (apparently random) recent sets of images in iPhoto 8.1.2 the thumbnails were visible but the full size images were not. I tried a couple of the iPhoto "rebuild" options but now I cannot see these same sets of thumbnails at all. iPhoto cannot export them in any format
Its only a few sets so one option is to find the originals and re-import them - but I don't know where to find them in 10.7.5. (obviously search doesn't help !).
I still have a second copy of my entire iMac on a separate (also time machined) backup drive from when it was 10.6 - does that help me in some way ?
I hope that I've provided enough info for some constructive help.
Thanks
Steve

Connect the two Macs together and copy the library from your backup iMac backup and replace the existing library. Then launch iPhoto with the Option key held down, select the newly copied library.
You should contact the store that installed 10.7.5 and ask for a Lion install disk.
If the orignals are still in the library but unavailable to iPhoto give this a go:
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. 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.

Missing songs from playlists after moving to a new mac

Bought a new imac 5k. On my old Mac (Pro) I saved the library.xml file in order to save all my playlists (about 70), rather than save each individual playlist file (which would have taken too long.)
Moved the library.xml file to my imac, "added to playlist", and it brought over all my old playlists. Cool, right?
Nope. Many of them are missing songs now. I wrote down how many songs wee in each playlist on the Mac Pro before cleaning it out, and the same new playlist on my imac has a wrong/smaller song count.
Now, I have to try and figure out which ones I'm missing? Ugh. Why didn't ALL of the the sings on each playlist transfer over? Any idea how to fix this? Running Yosemite 10.10.1.

You can't install Adobe applications by copying from a backup.
Start by cleaning out all the CS apps using Adobe Cleaner Tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then download a new installer from here:

Iphoto 08 cannot see pictures from this past year in events?

Hi!
I have been using iphoto 08 pretty successfully this past year, getting used to not being able to access the files directly, uploading on to snapfish, and accessing my photo library on the external hard drive.
well, tonight I was trying to post a picture on to facebook, was browing old pictures from 2004. after not finding what I was looking for, i scrolled back down to pictures I uploaded just last night and voila........the last event folder is dated December 2007
What happened? I see them when looking through my finder (i have leopard) and I see the file path but I do not see them in iphoto 08.
please help, I must have uploaded thousands of pictures in the past year........

Sounds like a damaged database file:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Missing Pictures problem

Missing Pictures problem, I work with Adobe Illustrator CS2 at work & CS3 at home but i have the problem with both. I have a problem with missing pictures from time to time after saving the file & moving the image from original location. I know you have to link the images/files and leave then where the are or you can embeded them. So in my option box i un select the link the files box & i still get the missing files problem, when re-opening the AI file.
Does anybody know why? Or what I can do to avoid this?
Thanks

Always try to keep your pictures in the same folder as your artwork.
However you can also make aliases of your pictures and keep them in the folder.
Aliases are better at tracing their origins than Illy is.
Steve,
Could you expand on that a bit please... the "make aliases of your pictures", i mean...

Lost pictures in iWeb after migration to Snow Leopard

Dear Forum,
I recently upgraded my MacBook by inserting 4 GB RAM, a 500 Gb harddisc and a brand new snow leopard. Before I did this, I made a full time machine backup, so I would be able to get back to my initial state asap. This proved to have worked for everything, except for iWeb as I discovered yesterday evening:
All my sites and pages are still there, and even the pages with published videos are still intact, but none of the pictures (and this is infact the main content of my web page) do show...
All pictures are still in my iPhoto library so i did not expect this. Also all pages are now labeled as 'changed' so my next publishing routine would take forever (given the fact that I get all my pictures back) because I publish our Kindergarten pictures since 2005 through this site.
Any suggestions? Where does iWeb store the information about where to find those pictures?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Petra

Dear Old Toad,
I tried the first part of your suggestions, but no luck there. But doing so I suddenly thought of the fact that the situation has one other quite important issue I did not think of before:
My iPhote library and all the pictures used to be on a volume that was once the internal hard drive of my iMac that died two years ago. Since than I used this hard drive as an external drive for my MaBook (keeping the original user/pictures/ structure it always had.
After upgrading my MacBook I finally had enough room to store all material on the internal hard drive.
So I copied the content of my external Picture folder to the Picture folder of my hard drive. I use the same user name and after disconnecting the external drive I renamed the internal hard drive to the same name as the external and before the iMac used to have (iMac HD). After launching iPhoto all pictures where there and could be found in the finder by iPhoto so everything was fine so far. The same thing worked for iTunes. Only iWeb proves to have a problem. Do you still think the last part of your suggestions could work?
I tried reconnecting the original external disc, and if I do that, all pictures are visible as they used to be. The iPhoto library available in the media area is still the one from the internal hard drive though.
So, now you have the whole picture... any suggestions? Would there be a way to kind of import all pictures from the external drive into the iWeb file? I do not understand why some pictures (for the events and the blog pages with a video file on it) are stored within the package and others (all the picture pages) are not...
Thanks for any kind of advice!
