  • I installed PS CS 6 and now all my iPhoto 11 pictures are missing.

    I installed PS CS 6 last night and now all my iPhoto 11 pictures are missing from the library. I had 45,000 plus pictures and some of them were not backed up. I have tried holding the command and alt keys down while starting iPhoto several times but no luck. Does anyone have any idea how I can recover these photos?

    Don't see how installing CS 6 could do this.
    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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    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.

  • Iphoto and GarageBand are missing.

    Greetings.
    Untill today then i realised that my iphoto and garageband are missing. I cant find these apps in my apps folder.
    I dont think it is the OS upgrade to 10.5.3 causing the problem.
    Is there any way to get back the apps without reinstalling the OS X 10.5.2?
    Please advise!
    thanks and best regards.

    Hey did you try searching the whole computer using Spotlight in the upper right corner of screen?
    Maybe some time you drug them out of the applications folder to another folder. Not easy to do but could be a reason you cannot start them. I think. Not sure this is even possible without a warning/prompt.
    Good luck.

  • Imovie, Iphoto, and Garageband are missing

    Imovie, Iphoto, and Garageband are missing after I updated OS to Yosemite. iTunes now wants to charge me to reinstall them. How do I get these apps back?

    Hi,
    If you had those before, just go to "purchases" in the App Store and re-install them.
    Regards

  • IPhoto says themes are missing and it won't print. All the support says to reload the application but I didn't get disks with the iMac. What do I do now.

  • IPhoto events and pictures missing from iPhoto after restoring new hard drive and upgrade to iLife11

    My iPhoto events and pictures are ALL missing from my iPhoto Library after I tried restoring my programs on a new hard drive AND upgrading to iLife11!  Over the last few months, I upgraded my 2008 Macbook Pro's hard drive from a 250 GB to a 500 GB hard drive and since then have been manually installing and restoring programs and software.  I decided to do things manually because I had problems with doing Time Machine backups/restores in the past, so before I upgraded the drive, I manually saved everything to a Western Digital MyStudio 1 TB hard drive that I had just for the purposes of a second back up.  Anyway, I tried importing the pictures onto the new library, but couldn't find the hard copies at first, so that didn't work.  I then tried deleting the iPhoto Library that came with new operating system, then copying my old backup onto the new hard drive...that didn't work either.  However, when I right clicked on the iPhoto Library icon on my external hard drive (the original) and clicked on "show package contents," the folder not only contained the originals, but they were still organized by year and event just as I had them originally! 
    So, then I thought "why don't I try just importing the pictures directly into the new iPhoto Library!"
    I tested it out, and sure enough, it worked!  I then tried importing an entire folder (which, was actually the name of the event), and again it worked!  So, I literally clicked and dragged my entire 2007-2009 library of pictures (which was about 35 GB) back into my iPhoto Library!  AND, this only took about 30 minutes to download, enough time for me to write this post and the following instructions to Recap: 
              1. Open your new iPhoto Library
              2. Go to wherever your ORIGINAL iPhoto Library is saved/backed up, then Right-click (or Control click) on the iPhoto icon 
              3. Click on "Show Package Contents"
              4. Go to the folder called "Originals" or "Master"
              5. Click and drag everything INSIDE the folder (not the folder itself) to your new iPhoto Library
              6. DO NOT try Importing from inside iPhoto!  For some reaseon, iPhoto can't see these images, but I promise, they're there! 
    I assume this could work on other iLife programs, but luckily I have MobileMe and my iCalendar updated itself, though I did have to do some tweeking...
    Hope this helps other people out, GOOD LUCK! 

    I'm re-posting the answer to this problem so I can show it has been answered: 
    Open your new iPhoto Library 
    Go to wherever your ORIGINAL iPhoto Library is saved/backed up, then Right-click (or Control click) on the iPhoto icon
    Click on "Show Package Contents"
    Go to the folder called "Originals" or "Master"
    Click and drag everything INSIDE the folder (not the folder itself) to your new iPhoto Library
    DO NOT try Importing from inside iPhoto!  For some reason, iPhoto can't see these images, but I promise, they're there!
              GOOD LUCK!!!

  • IPhoto event titles collapsed to one title

    I was preparing to email some photos, opened a blank email, went back to iphoto & saw that suddenly my many event titles that had been there a minute ago & that organize nearly 3,000 photos with very specific, very important titles have all disappeared leaving one event title.
    I have hundreds of pages of photographed journals & letters that will take days to reorganize. I don't have Time Machine.  iphoto has never been buggy before. Was it a recent update? Is there anyway of getting this information back? I'm devastated (not to mention really, really ******).
    Please help!
    I have iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424)

    Was anything else missing like albums, books, slideshows, etc. Make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhoto event/album thumbnails missing

    Since updating
    iPhoto '11 ver. 9.2.3 (629.52)
    the event key photos are missing (Picture 1) and the thumbnails for the actual photos are missing as well (Picture 2). I have not reinstalled iPhoto nor have i taken any other actions to solve this issue. the image files are still present and within the iPhoto library (Picture 3) however this issue is purely cosmetic.
    note: I have rudimentary technical literacy and i have tried troubleshooting through the support web-site/several forums.
    please advise.

    (Picture 2 above)
    (Picture 3 Above)

    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. 

  • Iphoto event titles

    I seem to be unable to add event titles either from the main event window (all events displayed), or even from the top event title when an event is selected.In either situation I can be in the middle of typing the event title and it throws me out of edit, especially when I use the space bar between words, or certain characters like the "P". This is really irritating and was not a problem in iPhoto 09. The only place I have found where I can type an event title withing this happening is in the info window.
    What is wrong?

  • Album titles are missing from some of the songs on my iPhone, but show up in iTunes normally.

    Some songs that are synced onto my iPhone are missing album names. It's completely blank. I went back and double checked on my computer, and found that the album is all there in iTunes. Furthermore, the album artwork shows up on my iPhone. So something weird has to be happening.
    For example, iTunes shows songs as having a name, artist, album, track number, year, etc. When it shows up in Music, the album is missing along with the track number (I assume). The song IS on my iPhone, it's just missing the album TITLE (not the artwork though). I can find the song under songs, but not albums.
    I went back and checked in iTunes to make sure all the obvious things weren't affecting it. I removed it from my phone, then re-synced it. I changed the artist name, album name, everything. I checked and unchecked 'part of a compilation.' I put it on a playlist, took it off the playlist, synced the album, the artist, synced nothing and dragged it to my iPhone. Nothing worked. For the life of me I can't get this album name to show up for all the songs on this album. It's weird because the album is definitely shown in iTunes, and the song definitely gets synced to my iPhone without that data.
    I'm completely at a loss here. Any thoughts?

    I have this same issue.  All the data (including artwork) is in iTunes, but on py phone (4S, current OS). the album title is missing.  If I'm using bluetooth to connect to my car, it shows as "Unknown Album."
    There isn't any rhyme or reason to it.  I've had it happen to singles as well as one track of a complete album.  It doesn't seem to matter if artist matches album artist or not or whether it is part of a compilation. 
    One more bit of information.  I recently purchased the entire soundtrack for Hairspray.  At first the album name was on my phone no problem.  Then I went into iTunes and edited some track information, changing the artist name (and album artist) to "Cast Recording" and removing the check for compilation.  After making those changes, the album name went missing.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • IPhoto claims pictures are missing, although they are displayed

    Suddenly, iPhoto starts acting weird on me. In some events when I click on the thumbnail of a picture, it is displayed but at the same time an error message is shown which claims the picture is missing. It prompts me to locate the picture, and if I decline a black triangle appears.
    I have tried all the alternatives provided by starting iPhoto while holding opt+cmd, but without results.
    In addition all the photos appear as normal on both my iPhone and iPad, even after syncing.
    Any clues would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you for the reply
    It is checked, and has always been. All photos are stored in the iPhoto library folder on my computer.
    You might be right about the thumbnail, though it is hard to tell since the photos at hand are taken with an iPhone 4. I was not able to find any missing photos in any events taken with my proper camera. I am able to zoom into the photo while the error message is displayed though?
    I do keep bakups of both the Library file itself and standalone photos, but either way I find it absolutely unacceptable that iPhoto just looses photos by itself ...
    Any other suggestions?
    Edit: I might add that my library exceeds 10K photos if that puts me in a greater risk?

  • Event thumbnails are missing

    My event thumbnails has dissapeared but all the pictures are still in them, however one picture appears as the thumbnail in all my events. I have a iphoto libery of 45,000 pictures. Help why and how do I fix this dissaster.
    Thanks

    I found another thread and it looks like basically you're hosed if repair/rebuild doesn't work and you have to re-create all the events:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11633855#11633855
    suck.
    Anyway I tried Autosplitting Events which split the files (which was great) but just means I need to go through and resort and rename all the of the fracking events again, going back 10+ years.
    <sigh>
    I guess the only good thing for me is that I have a 12 hours flight back to the states, and 12 hours back to the east coast so have ample time to do this, but may switch to another photo program because of this.
    Anyone else if you have any suggestions or ideas to try to fix I'd apprecaite it.
    Any ideas or recommendations on alternative to iphoto would be great. I'm leaning towards picasaweb due to the fb and picasa integration...
    Thanks,

  • PPCS4: When I export, the shadows on titles are missing!

    Hello,
    I am using PPCS4 on Windows 7 (64-bit). I have a cineform sequence (1080-30p) on the timeline. Some of the titles I have use a drop shadow from the BCC6 effects from Boris FX.
    I can see the drop shadow fine in the timeline (rendered or not) but when I export to any format, the shadow is missing.
    Any ideas?
    Simon

    Simon,
    If you find that there is a compatibility issue with the Boris plug-in and a 64-bit OS, please post. If this IS the case, I would guess that Boris is working on new 64-bit compatible plug-ins, as many 3rd party vendors are doing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • IPhoto 11 themes are missing

    How do I get themes into my iPhoto 11?  My iPhoto 11 won't print.  I just reinstalled my iPhoto 11 and tried to print.  It says there are no themes and it has to have at least one in order to print.

    > Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.
