Do the following on your library:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Will upgrading iPhoto delete all my pictures?
Hello, I just upgraded my computer to Maverick and now iPhoto isnt working and says I need to upload. I have the upload however I was wondering if it would delete all my pictures in the process?
Hello, I just upgraded my computer to Maverick and now iPhoto isnt working and says I need to upload.
Probably the error message was to "upgrade" and not upload, right? Older versions of iPhoto are not compatible with Mavericks, and because your iPhoto library has been created by an earlier version of iPhoto, it needs to be upgraded to a new format, so iPhoto '11 can open it.
Your photos are stored in the iPhoto library and not in the iPhoto application, so upgrading to the new iPhoto version will not delete your photos. But as a precaution make a backup copy of your iPhoto library, before you let the new iPhoto upgrade it, this is best practice when upgrading software - just in case, so you can revert to the previous version if need be.
What is the iPhoto version you are upgrading from? If it is iPhoto '07 or earlier, you need to run iPhoto Library upgrader first, before you can open the library in iPhoto '11, see this document:

My iphoto deleted all my pictures. How do I restore them?
I was working on my computer and tried to drag a photo into my iphoto and it said application could not be launched. I woke up the next day and restarted my computer and all my photos had been deleted? Is there a way to restore them?
Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner. -
Why did my Mac delete all my pictures on Iphoto?
My Mac deleted all my pictures in IPhoto without asking me... I do not know what happened, or why it happened. I've had my Macbook Pro for only 1 year.
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive? -

I DELETED ALL MY PICTURES ON ACCIDENT
Ok so it's 3:30 in the morning, and I am uploading pictures from my digital onto my powerbook and I decide to save space on my computer by deleting all my originals. Little did I know that if the original is deleted I cannot open the picture on iphoto or any other application for that matter. I have lost hundreds of pictures from the last 3 years. This includes my senior year of highschool, graduation, birthdays, holidays, first years of college, i mean everything. Is there anyway I can restore the pictures from the thumbnail pictures left on iphoto. (when i click on the thumbnails, it no longer opens the picture, the screen blanks out as if the picture does not exist) PLEASE HELP ME. IM HYSTERICAL RIGHT NOW
What version of I photo are you using, this may be a new bug in the latest download.
Joe
Ashely said she deleted them from the iPhoto Library Folder - the database - going in there through the Finder. There is no bug.
If they open there then you may just have to reimport them into I photo.
You cannot reimport photos that are already in an iPhoto Library without making a big mess. iPhoto won't even accept individual photos that are in another iPhoto Library. They should be removed from the library first to a folder for import.
This application was made just to do that;
iPhoto Extractor ( scroll for the version you need)

Iphoto deleted all my masters, any way to recover them? PLEASE HELP!!
Iphoto deleted all my masters and I cant seem to find them, is there any way to recover them? Iphoto 11 version. The only pictures that are left are some previews and some thumbnails.
Try the following:
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 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: 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: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
If that fails continue with:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

If I delete all my photos in my camera roll will it still be in my iCloud ??? And I made a photo stream for pics of me and my friends is t in my iCloud ? I want to delete all my pictures but will it be in my iCloud ?
Don't rely on iCloud to back up your pictures. It's designed to sync them to your devices, not back them up. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing your devices enough time to download them. But if you ever lose your device, or have to replace it, any photos older than 30 days will no longer be in iCloud to download.
To keep your photos, import them to your computer using your usb cable while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. After importing them, you will be given an option to delete them from your device. -
I deleted all my pictures on camera roll and it still says I'm using 6.6 GB
I deleted all my pictures on my Ipad for more space and it still says that I am using 6.6 GB on photos. I've seen a lot of posts on this, but still can't come to any solution. HELP!!! Thank you so much for any help offered. It's driving me crazy!

To restore my apps, which I did.
I believe that is not exactly correct.
You get two options - restore as new, or restore from your backup. You chose to restore from your backup, which is very different from "restoring your apps."
Try it again. This time, restore as new, and then manually add your apps back in by redownloading them one at a time. -
I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library. My nano says I have 2449 songs which is about 65 books. I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook. Now I get a message saying I don't have enough room on my nano to transfer new books to it. My nano is 16 GB and my operating system is Windows 7.
iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

i just updated to the new software, now im getting error when i send a txt "cannot receive in box is full" ive deleted alot and cant get this fixed, also when i first did the update i lost all contacts, pics and it deleted all txt conversations after several restores i did get all that back but cannot receive txt, any suggestions?
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
