My Iphoto'09 is empty! help me PLEASE!
I have a Mac 10.7.4, I just opened my iphoto and it's empty. I didn't change anything so there is not a clear reason about this.
That happened a while ago and a friend just press some keys (that we don't remember), and the photos, albums, events, etc came back.
At the moment I cannot pay for the iphoto'11 thus, I would like to have a free option.
Can I have my photos back?
Thank you very much!!!

This is a totally different question - threadjacking this two year old thread will cause confusion for you, people trying to answer and the people looking for help on the subject of this thread - please start a new thread and include details like the exact error message, the version of iPhoto and of the OS, what has recently changed, etc -- click on the word "NEW" to the right of the "Apple Support Communities" Headline

My iPhoto is completely empty - Help!
I have no idea what I did, or what changed, but I opened my iPhoto today and all of my photos, folders and albums were gone. The iPhoto folder in 'Pictures' is still there and I can see all of the photos in those folders (Original, Modified, etc.), but when I try to import them into iPhoto it won't let me. The thing I'm actually the most upset about is that I was working on a photo album and now all the work I've done is gone. What do I do???
I would so appreciate any help anyone can offer.ckc628:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First, rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
If that doesn't resurrect the library try rebuilding with iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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 menu option
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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
Lastly, if that fails, you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder form the old library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the iPhoto library folder from the desktop. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
What you experienced is damage/corruption to the library's database file, Library6.iPhoto. To make recovery easy from similar issues in the future see the tip at the end of my signature.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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. 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. -
Trying to click and drop photos from iPhoto into an Empty SD card. all I am getting isThe item “IMG_0346.JPG” can’t be copied because there isn’t enough free space. Card is 156 MB Photo is 1.56MB. Help please.
Select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export) - see this user tip for export options - then be sure the card is not locked and in the finder verify available space and if it is adaquate drag that folder to it

when i try to download iphoto ( wich was already pre installed when i bought my MacBookPro) it says "These apps cannot be accepted on this computer." HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)Hey there! So, I already contacted Mac App Store support several times, the response:
- "Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
Thank you for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible"
I answered I really needed it, and if they knew the estimated time it would take to solve the issue. Here's the last response.
- "According to your previous correspondence, you have not been able to install iLife after reinstalling OS X Lion. I understand that this issue is under investigation, and that you would like to know the amount of time needed to find a resolution. As a fellow iTunes customer, I certainly understand that you need to use iPhoto for professional reasons, and I'll gladly help you to resolve this problem.
Unfortunately, I am unable to give you the exact amount of time this issue could take. I do assure you that our engineers are currently working towards a resolution. "
I'm going to an Apple Sotre Genius today, in 2 hours. I'll keep updated!! -
I plugged my phone in and I'm trying to upload photos like I usually do but iPhoto is saying "Please wait for import to complete". It won't let me close iPhoto or anything. Help please!

When I try and transfer my iphoto library from my computer to my harddrive, I keep getting error message "error-36". Can anyone help me please?
Odd, it seems. In the Finder "Get Info" display, you are seeing something like this?
Click the "Details" triangle and then the little padlock, and you should be able to change the permissions. Click the lock when you are done and close the Info window. -
How do I put my iPhone stored items into my iCloud storage?i have bought an upgrade but none of my phones stored items have moved to iCloud.i can't download new update from apple. due to not enough and yet iCloud space is empty??please help I don't know what I doing all I know is my phone is iPhone 4 and I can't update it. My phone on contract with t-mobile . Thanks
You can't have content in iCloud without having it on your phone, you will need to look at deleting items from your device that you don't need. Movies and TV shows from iTunes are possibly a good start because they tend to be large and can be redownloaded at a later date.

Suddenly my Nikon Coolpix will not upload on to my 09 iphoto it takes for ever then it just shows blank squares no pics and a message that states it cannot read the JPEG files. Can anyone help me, please. I have never had this problem before.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
You could also try reformat the Card with your camera

when I submitted my iPhoto book to Apple, an error caused the image file to be unreadable or unprintable,why can anyone help me please:)
what I did with my system was following:
1. Update your software.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Make sure all applications are closed.
4. Open iPhoto or Aperture.
5. While all other applications are closed, preview your print product as a
PDF.
6. Resubmit your order.
and still my PDF ibook file looked like my photos were scratched across the photos. Please help:)
Thank you
CJYes me too!!
I thought that I had done someting wrong. The first time it was my first attempt so I did not preview the photobok (did not know this trick). When I did the cover photos were completely ruined with lines and code.
The second time I changed everything and even made a different sized book - thinking my photo files were too big. I dutifully previewed before buying the book and everything was fine. Then a few days later got the usual e-mail message from Apple. When I previewed the project again ALL of the photos were corrupted.
What to do - I need to get the photobook to friends to celebrate their engagement!
If I saved the pdf then submitted this would that work??
Any thoughts - I am working on a large project and do not want to go any further if all the work will be ruined on buying the book. -
My phone 5 died and now it wont turn back on or seem to charge at all. I've tried several different charger cords and outlets. And all the phone will do is show the empty battery symbol. please help! Any suggestions are apprecaited!?! thanks
Hello Cooper,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5. I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

I accidentally cut photo's from an event instead of copy but I posted in a new event. I closed the new event and opened it back up. when I opened up the new event my photo's were all there. I copied the photo's from new event to put back into original old event. It wouldn't allow me to paste in the old event. SO I thought I must of not clicked copy like I thought so I went back to copy and my new event and all the photos disappeared. There is no backup found on itunes, no recovery software has recovered it. We've looked in the show package contents area of the iphoto in Finder. The event or pictures are no where to be found. These pictures were taken from my iphone and I imported them to iphoto a while back. I have not backed up the pictures becuase I don't know how. I've never had this issue and an event and photo's shouldn't just disappear like they never happened. There are 25 photos total but about 5 of them are most important to me. I've tried running a backup recovery of my phone with software and on the computer and only thing they find is photo's I already know where they are. If you have any suggestions help info please let me know. Thanks
I just performed the rebuild. It put a bunch of empty folders into my library that I had deleted in the past. But no where is the one folder that I had made yesterday with my 25 photos. I checked the orginial folder that I took them from and not there. It's odd that it's like they never exisited. So broken hearted. The last photo I had with my husband and I in it with his grandpa before he died is gone. Unless there is a way to get it off a back up on my phone somewhere. All of my photos' are backed up from my PC but nothing since owning this computer. cause this itunes icloud time machine stuff has me confused but will have to get the pictures printed and burned that I do have. That's what I was working on yesterday when this happened. Chose my first 25 I wanted to print and lost them and I"m afraid to touch the others now.

Help required please. "Itunes can not read the contents of my iphone"
Greetings all,
I know this question has been asked before and I apologize for asking again but all the solutions provided don't seam to work for me, can anyone help me please.
I am receving the message: "Itunes can not read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the summary tab In iPhone Preferences and click restore torestore this Iphone to factory settings".
Now a little about my iphone, Itunes and my laptop and what steps i havealready tried.
I have an iPhone 4 running software 5.0
My itunes version is 10.5.0.142
I know these are not the most up to date versions but I have had this issue for almost 3 months now and updating the software back then was the first step I tried. I don’t believe updating to the latest will fix this issue as updating the last two times did nothing.
Every so often after starting Itunes, The program will stop responding and will require the three finger death kill (CTRL, ALT, DELETE) to open task manager to end the task of Itunes. Once it shuts down, I restart the iTunes and it runs smoothly, apart from not reading my iPhone.
When I run a diagnostic in itunes under the help tab, I get these fail messages:
Network Connectivity test: Secure link to Itunes store fail
Device connectivity test: Under support services: Itunes helper is not running. And under ports: No iPod, iPhone or iPad found.
Device Sync test: No iPod touch, iPhone or iPad found.
*See below for full diagnostic report*
I have restored back to factory settings twice.
I have shut down and restarted both my iPhone and laptop.
I am running Windows 7 32-bit on my laptop.
I am using ZoneAlarm as my fire wall, and have been disabling it when syncing my iPhone to prevent other error messages.
The iPhone is plugged into a genuine Iphone USB cable and is plugged into a USB port not a USB hub on my laptop, I have tried plugging it into all 4 USB ports and this issue still persist. The Cable is less then 5 months old, is not frayed or damaged in any way, have also borrowed 2 other cables from friends and still the same issue.
The iPhone does not even come up in windows explorer as a digital camera.
The iPhone is NOT jailbroken
I do not live close to a so called genius bar, however I have made the journey to them on 3 separate occasions last year when I first received my iPhone for a different issue, the so called genius's could not fix the problem so they just gave me a new (refurbished) iPhone, which did not extend my warranty. I will not be taking the iPhone back to them as I believe they can not resolve many issues, this is why I am reaching out to the power of the people in the wider apple community.
I have read in other forums about ifunbox and other programs for jail broken iPhones to isolate folders “iTunesDB” and "iTunesCDB" and delete them. If this is the issue is there a way to access these files through windows explorer as my iphone is not jailbroken.
I hope I have provided enough information and someone can help me fix this issue. If I have left anything out, please let me know. I thank everyone in advance for your patience and support.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
Thanks again -
i accendentaly deleted my iphoto when i empty my trash. i think 1 year ago. i want it back but they say its difficult. now i think i'll buy iphoto to apps. what do you think guys??? ty and god bless!
A bunch of totally different questions
iPhoto is an application and it is in your applications folder - is it there? It must be in teh Applications folder on your boot drive - it can not be on an external drive
The photos are kept in the iPhoto library (by default and highly recommended) - is that what you deleted? It can be anyplace by by default it is in your pictrues folder
Time Machine is a backup program that backuse your your Mac - you do NOT directly access its backup files but you use the Time Machine application to restore files - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US for details
Your post is not at all clear as to what you have or what you want to do
If in fact you do have a copy of the photos on an external hard drive as you say you thikyou do them you launch iPhoto and import them to iPhoto (file menu import -- or drag them to the iPhoto icon in the Dock)
If you have a time machine backup of your iPhoto library and you want to use that then you launch TM and go to the time you wna tto restore from, select the iPhoto library and click restore
If the above does not cover what you have and what you want please post back with exact details of what you have and what you want to do

I have my photos in iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty.When clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?
When what is clicked?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 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. -
Adobe Fireworks cs6 is not opening .Saying internal eror occured help me please
Adobe Fireworks cs6 is not opening .Saying internal eror occured help me please :
For me the Fireworks stopped when it got to "Intializing Tab Windows", then a crashed and displayed "Could not complete your request. an error occurred" and would never load. Basically dead. I couldn't use it at all. My whole workfow came to a stand still.
BACKGROUND
Just before this happened, I was trying a new feature from within Dreamweaver. While inside Dreamweaver, I could double-click an image file and it opened in my Fireworks to be edited. I thought . . . Wow, this is really cool. I edited that image and closed it and continued on my work. Since then, that "Connection" between applications has become permanent. Fireworks "THINKS" it is still connected to Dreamweaver. Later Fireworks would NOT open/load at. I would always get the above error.
PARTIAL SOLUTION
BTW: I had to do this twice, because the first time, I missed a file somewhere.
I had to completely uninstall all ADOBE applications. I mean everything! I had CS3 & CS4 and Adobe Readers on my system.
Since I'm on the mac, I went through the "Application Support" both user and system and the "Preferences" for both user and system and deleted everything that had either "adobe" or "macromedia" in it. There was also a file in the "Launch Agent & Daemons".
I emptied the trash and did a power off restart. Then I reinstalled CS6. Now Fireworks at least loads and I can use it again, but it still isn't the same.
OBSERVATION
Fireworks and Dreamweaver are still "Connected". It won't save an existing PNG file as itself, it displays an error, "That file is open in another application", which is NOT true. I have to use the "Save As" option, and use the Finder to rename that file. I also notice an extra file labeled ex:0000056 which looks like the file I tried to save.
So at least I can use my Fireworks again although it is irritating. I don't know how to "CUT" the connection between applications. Uninstalling & reinstalling did NOT reset this, the only option left would be a backup, wipe and fresh install of my entire laptop. I just don't have time to do that right now. Hope that helps someone else.

Hi. Im Tj.! I cant see chatters list in yahoo messenger chatroom. Im using MBP. Help me please.. Thanks
It's possible that when you dragged those "non-iTunes" files on the iPod to the Trash, you did not empty the Trash. At least on a Mac, if you do that, the files are still on the iPod's disk (not visible) taking up space as "Other." You may need to connect the iPod with disk mode enabled, then empty the Trash.
Or, if you don't mind erasing it completely, you can do a Restore on the iPod in iTunes. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. That will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. That should clear up the data under "Other."
