My iPhoto 9.1.5 has gone batty.  Won't import and KEEP imports.

I have TWO iMac 20's dual core.  They are identical and have mostly the same software.  Both have the latest iPhoto running on v 9.1.5. All of a sudden, my wife's iMac will not let iPhoto import and/or save photos in albums. 
She imports a group of photos, edits them, and places them in a new album, just as she have been doing for years. Then she quits iPhoto. When she returns, the last photos and it's album are GONE.  She imports the same photos from her desktop, edits them again, and places them in a NEW album.  When she returns to iPhoto, the latest photos AND the allbum are gone again.The program doesn't retin any new input.
They are not in the photo section, or events section or albums. Where do they go?
She has started the mac up from the Start up Disk and run Disk Utilities. Nothing appeared wrong.
She has re-installed iLife with no changes occuring. Same problems.
There are also blank frames interspered throughout the albums where she has deleted photos.
What else can we do to get this problem solved? My computer works fine.  Hers works fine except for these iPhoto problems.
Any help will be appreciated.

The database is corrupted.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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. .

  • Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal?

    Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal???
    I've had my Macbook for about 11 months now and i use it every day; its gone though about 420 cycles of charging and using the power, and i noticed the battrey preformance has decreased (as expected). The problem isn't sevear yet but it would comfort me knowing that i could replace the battery in the near future
    Please contact me or answer the question if you know anything about this!

    No only if they think under warranty/AppleCare, but your likely able to pay for a new battery if they have them, which they might not yet since it's such a new machine still.
    BTW, I have a Early 2011 17" MBP, 27 months old, charges to 97% and has only 14 cycles.

    Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing.    36 hours is rather long.  Seems like a new migration.  Not what I intended.
    Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter.  That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user.  Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
    36 hours?  I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here?  Or a really, really slow disk?  Or a sick backup?  (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
    Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic.  Does your existing (old) system work?   If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage.  (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!)  In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk.  Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
    Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire.  And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
    The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

  • I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

    Does everything (including icons) appear as if they are negatives of what you originally had ? If so then try triple-clicking the home button - you can control what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home

  • My 5s has gone into screen lock mode and only talks to me?

    I suspect you have Voice Over on:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
    You have to tap, then double-tap to select the numbers to enter your passcode.

  • Hi the itunes icon has gone from the applications folder and the icon in the dock has a question mark in it. How can we get itunes back to normal? thanks

    Hi we've lost the itunes icon from the applications folder. How do we get it back and where has it gone? I dragged it off the dock by accident and dragged it from the applications folder to the desktop then to the dock. But now we've lost it.

    The iTunes app is no longer in the Applications folder?
    Try Spotlight ...

  • My eMac's screen has gone green in the corner and i am worried.

    I have an eMac which was bought for me, brand new, back in sept 2003 so it is now 4 years old however it has had most of its use in the last 9 months to a year, since i upgraded my operating software and went wireless, before this i had to use the hubbies pc for most of my work.
    Today i have noticed in the bottom left hand side of the screen it had turned a shade of green, on a white page, and causes the menu bar at the bottom to become somewhat dulled when "up".
    Is this a sign the screen is on its way out, if so should i think about investing in a flat screen monitor and hooking it up, like i have seen on a different post about an emac?
    Or is my beloved mac going to die on me, when i have just fully been able to make best use of it with better software and access to the internet?
    Any advice would be gratefully appreicated.
    many thanks

    cherrykiss84,
    Welocmne to the Apple Discussions!
    A failing CRT is possible but a more plausible is that some external magnetic field source has caused the electron guns on the CRT to be thrown slightly out of alignment. Has anything drawing electrical power or containing a magnet been moved near the eMac recently? Move any nearby item further away from the eMac, then shut down and let the computer sit for 30 minutes or so. The do a cold start; that will force the eMac to perform it's screen degaussing routine. See if that combination helps.

  • Text in Hebrew has gone really weird in Motion and FCP - please help!

    Hi,
    I have been working in a project for a long time, and produced hundreds of simple titles in Motion in Hebrew. The font I have used throughout is Arial Rounded MT Bold.
    In the latest title I added one text object and made it Italic. Since then, all my Hebrew text in this title and now any previous title I open appears really weird (the vowles are disjoined from the consonants). I have turned off the Italics option on all the titles but it still does the same thing.
    This occurs even in a brand new title, where I paste the Hebrew directly into a new text object.
    I am desperate for someone to help me, as I have a tight deadline on this one. All previous titles I open appear the same, even though they were fine in the past. I have tried deleting the preference file.
    I am using Motion 4 (FCS 3) on a iMac bought last year, quad core intel.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    Thank you so much!
    Arial did not work, but Arial Bold and Arial Hebrew did!
    The font doesn't match what I was using before. I have no idea what it was using previously, but at least I can proceed from here. My previous projects have all been output to movie files so even if the motion files are now messed up, it's not the end of the world!
    Thanks again
