No - you can not open iPHoto - you need version 9.5.1 - I did not suggest Photo
I suggested
If you are logged in with the Apple ID that was used to purchase iPhoto or to set up the computer if it came preinstalled then quit iPhoto, backup your iPhoto library and drag the iphoto application to the trash (do not empty the trash yet) and then go to the App store and install iPhoto - 9.5.1 in your case

HT4927 all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??

all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??

We do need more information to help. Are the images gone from your iPhoto library, or is the iPhoto Library missing? How and when did this happen?
If images are missing from the library: Did you check for hidden photos? Did you check the iPhoto Trash?
If the pictures are still in the iPhoto Trash, open the Trash, select the images and and press the liitle arrow in the lower right corner - select "Put back".
If the pictures are still in an "iPhoto" folder in the system Trash (with sub folders named by date), import these folders to your iPhoto library.
Have you checked, if you have opened the correct iPhoto Library? Launch iPhoto with the options key held down, to select another Library.
If the entire Library is missing, have you searched for ".photolibrary" with spotlight?
Do have a backup?
If none of these easy measures helps, report back with more details - your iPhoto version, and anything else that might be helpful to find out, what the problem is. Don't do anything that changes the contents of your hard drive for now.

IPhoto Got Deleted!!!

My iPhoto accidentally got dragged to the trash...then got trashed.
I have the Mac OS X Install Disc 1, but i don't know how to just install iPhoto as opposed to the thole OS system.
So the question is how do I just install the iPhoto from the disc.
Help me MacMasters.

After removing the receipts from the hard drive you can also use Pacifist to locate, extract and install iPhoto from your Disk 1 in leu of a custom install from that disk.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad. Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room. Now trying to get some pictures and music on. Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway. Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" So I hit cancel. Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

It helps if you provide details - not just a problem
What exactly dod you have and have you done?
What version of iPhoto did you have and what version do you now have? Of the OS? If you are upgrading from iphoto '08 or earlier did you download and RUN the iphoto library upgrader?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.

You aren't running iOS if you are using iPhoto, or a Classic operating system. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and find out what you really are running, and then use this link to post in the right place:

(not) emptying iphoto 5 trash

My iphoto 5 trash has 975 photos, this after a mixup of my iphoto library which after disappearing, returned as blank thumbnails with filenames; I renamed the library as iphoto_old, moved it to the desktop, and recreated it from within iphoto-file menu. Then I had all the grey squares as well as the images with the same respective filenames. I began deleting the grey squares, which went fine until I noticed that the trash reached 975, because I was wondering why it was taking so long that I'd begun investigating. I'd also searched the Discussions forum on this topic.
I also tried using Spotlight to see if I could find a way to get all the .jpg images into a new folder, and back up the whole works that way--then, rebuild the Library. Otherwise, I'd try again using the iphoto menu method, which took a few hours last night and I don't look forward to ending up with the same results as before.
So, I'm going to back up the Library onto an external hard drive once I've hooked that up, but that will still leave me with an overfilled trash album and a lot of duplicate empty files, won't it? If there is a way to avoid that problem, I'd love to read about it before wandering down another dead end...

Yes you can import photos from a CD/DVD, or any folder on your hard drive. the photos are copied into iPhoto's database, so you can delete the folder of photos after they are imported into iPhoto.
There are two different ways of sharing. Here are all the links I have for both ways.
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.
Sharing links from Apple....
Sharing your photos between computers
About shared photos
Turning off photo sharing
Looking for shared photos
SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

How to empty 5000 photos from iPhoto's trash

hi guys
a friend of mine - a newcomer to Mac OSX.. - has piled up 5000+ photos in iPhoto's trash & when he tried to empty it , iPhoto simply freezes & has to be closed using ''force quit''.
he asked for my help but, no matter what i tried i simply didn't find a way to do it - one other thing, when we open his iPhoto & select ''trash'' to view it's contents, it doesn't show any thumbnails just little white outlined squares where the thumbnail's should/would normally be - is this normal ?
the reason i tried to ''view'' iPhoto's trash content is that i read on MacRumors ( i think.. ) a suggestion of ''tagging'' the trash photos, create a smart folder with that tag to it, move the photos back into iPhoto's Library & THEN delete them in bunches of 50 or 60 at a time from that smart folder
so my obvious question is : any suggestions on how i can get iPhoto's trash to empty ?
according to him his computer ( a 27'' iMac i7.. ) has started showing the spinning beachball a lot lately - could this trash situation be related to this ?
i have ran out of solutions so, any help anyone could provide would be MOST welcome
hoping to hear from you guys soon, many thanks

iPhoto has a well known problem with trying to delete large numbers of photos at one time.
Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
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.
Once you get the library to open in iPhoto try the following:
1 - select all of the photos in the trash and assign a unique keyword, say "Delete", using the Keyword pane:
Click to view full size
2 - then drag all of the photo in the Trash bin onto the Photo icon in the left hand pane to move them back to their original Events.
3 - create a smart album with the criteria "Keyword" is "Delete".
4 - not select about 100 photos at a time, drag to the Trash bin and empty.
This should let you delete all of the photos safely.

Trouble sending iphoto to trash

I am trying to print some photos in iphoto, but keep getting the error message saying "There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable". I have reviewed the support groups and all the suggestions I have found state that I need to send iphoto to trash first then reinstall it. The trouble is I can't send the iphoto to the trash. I have gone into launchpad and held down the mousepad until the icon wobbles, but there is no 'x' to delete it.
I am new to Mac, and tbh when it comes to computers I am stupid. Please help a computer dummie. Thanks

The iPhoto application is in the applications folder - drag it to the trash from there using the finder - then reinstall from the app store under purchases

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button. Any solutions?

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button.
My system trash finally emptied when I discovered "trash it!" is not longer supported by the most recent osx. Then I found an updated version of Onyx that did work with that trash emptying problem.
I have a total of 5,723 photos in my library. A macdevelopers group recently started suggesting a multi library manager for iphoto to overcome some kind of library quota limitations with iphoto as opposed to "more advanced" photo handling, storing and editing programs. If I went to a mult library manager for iphoto would that cure the apparent incongruent data retrieval problem in iphoto 11 regarding 13,346 phantom photos that will not securely delete?
Are there any other possible solutions out there?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

I have an iMac ...I would like to delete 70,000 pictures from my iphoto 11 trash but it kept crashing ...what to do?
Thank you & ShineOn!

Best guess on this point, though my suggestions may be shot down to the very last ...
If Terence Devlin says I am an idiot, then I will have learned somwthing from his counter-points.
Your HDD may be running low on free space, at least enough free space to process 70K photos in a single shot (an entire library, all associated as one).
You need to see how much free space vs total disk capacity is left.
Then check the size of the files you are trying to "empty trach". If those two numbers are too close, you may need to try some gymnastics.
If you have not used CarbonCopyClone, you may want to get an external drive that is 2x your internal drive. If you have room enough, download (for free) CarbonCopyClone or SuperDuper (your call, both equally good). Make a clone of yuor drive onto this external single-partition drive, which should have more than enough free space without shutting down. You do this by booting holding the "option key" so that all operations are now on the external disk.
Then you can clone this external clone back with an empty trash. Then be more careful about how large the "trash gets", by disassociating bulks such as iPhoto.
This may be an overly dramatic approach and there may be ther ways to bypass "empty trash" usage of system resources. But nothing is destructive on your original disk until the last step of cloning back, and you have a new way of making an "emergency crash" bootable disk if even that does not work. I DO run with a CCC external bootable, by the way, so the "if nothing else" effect has value.
