My iphoto just deleted all of its events, contents, absolutely everything... what do i do?

It came up with something saying iphoto had detected inconsistensies, and closed my iphoto and reopened it and when it reopened everything had disappeared

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.

on syncing photos to my iphone from my mac (snow leopard) (iphoto), just 2 or 3 per event retain the edited verisons, the rest are shown in the original version. I'm confused by this. Is this a bug? Is there a way to see all the photos on the mac-edited version on iphn?

Thanks for your reply
I solved my problem,
Definitely a bug in syncing through itunes.
- Connect Iphone with MacBook Pro through USB
- Go to iphone on itunes, photos, deselect photo synchronization.
- Sync (all pics will be removed from iphone)
- Close itunes, iphoto, disconnect iphone
- Select in finder: (home)-pictures-iphoto library.
- Sec click on iphoto library and choose "show package contents"
- Delete iPod Photo Cache
- Close finder
- Empty trash
- Reconnect iphone
- Allow photo synchronization again and everything works smooth.
After this, changes made in iphoto are instantaneously reflected in iphone photos.
Once every hundred photos, one gets detached from iphoto and then changes are no longer reflected (buggy) :-(
In this case I erase the photo in iphoto, sync, go back to iphoto trash, reestablish the photo from the trash and sync again.
Hope this improves. Still have to try cloud though.
Thanks

My iphone just deleted all of my future calendar events and I am unable to retrieve them via icloud or anything else???

My iphone just deleted all of my future calendar events and icloud and any other method has failed to bring them back...any help would be great!

Have you checked that all of the calendars were checked, so they displayed? In the Calendar app, select "Calendars" at the bottom and make sure they are all checked. In the IOS Settings, make sure the right accounts are there.

My iphone has just deleted all my contacts without any explanation. Any help?

Hello,
My iphone 4 version 5.0.1 has just deleted all my contacts without any explanation. Suddently my girlfriend called and I could only see her number, not her name.
I went to contacts and there was nobody in there!!! Even more, there are also no contacts on my ipad mini!!!! That's weird. What's happening?
I have gone to www.icloud.com and although there are some contacts, contacts are not synced with the latest updates, I also don't know why.
The most important thing in a phone are its contacts! I thought that apple was providing a complete backup solution, but I am afraid it is not reliable.
What can I do? What can Apple offer to me?
Is there a way of restoring an icloud copy directly from the iphone? I have thought on restoring and updating to ios7 and ask for icloud to put my backup copy of today in the morning, but it is possible that icloud does another copy and rewrites the 7am working copy. I have disconnected wifi in order to avoid a copy on icloud without contacts.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Jordi

Hi Jordi,
I have the exact same problem and judging by the other posts we are not alone. The one thing that seems to be lacking is any official word or support from Apple - a "bury the head in teh sand" strategy appears to be the chosen response from one of the worlds biggest brands.
I took it to my Apple store and they were about as much use as chocolate over gloves and told me "this can happen sometimes"???? Seriously, this from an Apple Genius!!??!?!?
I have not had any joy with iCloud back up so I'm afraid I cant offer any help.
I will be going to Twitter and Facebook to try to get some action from Apple so I suggest we all do the same and create a noise that Apple cannot ignore....

There is no way possible for your iphone to delete message by itself.
If your having issue with text - contact your cell phone provider as texting is a carrier feature.

I just deleted all my photos off my i phone and didn't gain any memory

I just deleted all my photos off my i phone and didn't gain any memory

If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them. Restoring an iCloud backup requires first erasing your phone. If you have any newer data on your phone since the backup that you want to keep, you'll need to save that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Sign into your iCloud account and choose your last backup to restore to.
Make sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

How to completly delete all AC 5.2 content from NW?

Dear all,
We have just undeployed all 5.2 components in order to install version 5.3 (SP5). When deploying the new SCA files we get errors and it ends that just one out of four gets files deployed (AE), JSPM alterts that some objects already exists:

The easiest soluiton is probably to re-install NW. But is there any way completly delete all old 5.2 content?
Thx,
Vit

Vit,
Unless you just really want a completely clean system to start on, reinstalling Netweaver is unnecessary. You just need to follow these steps to clear out all 5.2 data:
1) Undeploy all GRC 5.2 applications using the SDM tool
2) Remove any remaining GRC applications from the Visual Administrator tool --> Server Node --> Deploy --> Applications --> Remove button
3) Use the following database cleaning script:

Webservice to delete all revisions of a content item

Hi,
I don't see a webservice that explicitly deletes all revisions of a content item. Do I have to create one?
Thanks!

DELETE_DOC
Service that deletes an existing content item revision. The user must have permission to delete the specified revision. The most likely error is when the content item no longer exists in the system.
Location: <install_dir>/shared/config/resources/std_services.htm
Additional Required Service Parameters
• dID: The generated content item revision ID.
Example
IdcService=DELETE_DOC
dID=48
I created custom wsdl to make this service available via web service.
This will delete the document and all its revision.

Delete all the database table content

Hello Friends,
I have a z table with 5 fields (all the key fields) and I want to delete all the table content and load fresh content from internal table.
I tried using syntax 'delete ztable' but sy-subrc value is coming as 4, means no table content is getting deleted.
Please suggest me any alternative way to delete all the database table content.
Thanks in advance,
Shreekant

Hi,
try using
delete from ztable.
This will delete all records from your ztable. After this command u can fill your ztable from itab by the following command
select *
from std table
into corresponding fields of itab.
insert ztable from table itab.
Hopefully this will solve your problem.
Regards,
Ibrar

IPhoto '11 Deletes All Albums, Events And Photos From iPad after Sync

In addition to many of the other issues mentioned on this thread, today I synced my iPad for the first time since upgrading to iPhoto '11. After syncing, all the photos, events and albums except for "Imported Photos" were deleted.
In iTunes, the iPad is set to sync albums and events from the last 12 months.
iPhoto '11 has been a horror show for me. I use iPhoto daily and am currently in the process of downgrading via Time Machine.
I understand that as a professional photographer I should be using Aperture or Lightroom, but I've just always felt comfortable with iPhoto.

I really wish I hadn't jumped on this the first day. I need to wait a little bit and read the forums. Had I done this, I would've done a complete clone of my photo library prior to this. now I've lost a few months worth of photos, which *****. And there are people in a lot worse situations than I. Lesson learned.

Iphoto just deleted my photo!

Situation:
4 computer based house (1 PC, 1 Mac, 1 Linux, 1 NAS Server (synology - linux)), all photos stored on server so that they can be accessed by all computers.
Recently got the Mac, so I've imported by WITHOUT copying them to the MAC using the option in the advanced settings that took me ages to find (why would I want to copy 100GB and fill up my HD!)
Just tried to rotate a photo, click export to save it back to the server (even though I really ought not to have to do this), save it as the same file name, and it promptly DELETES my photo.
My synopsis is that it deletes the photo BEFORE saving the the modified version, which it can't access because it just deleted it.
Does any one have any other suggestions, or is my conclusion that I can't save a photo that I've modified in iphoto without using a different name, manually deleting the old one, then renaming correct?
Cheers, Glyn.

Glyn:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I think the issue is with the NAS server. iPhoto doesn't play well with them and using a "referenced" library is adding fuel to the fire. It's just not a multi-platform tool. I think your source files are save and sound on the server with maybe the exception of the edited one you tried to export.
why would I want to copy 100GB and fill up my HD!
So that iPhoto would run as it is designed to without a high probability of problems. Ain't hindsight great!
When you exported the modified version back to the server you were attempting to replace the source file with the modified one. That probably broke the alias link somehow bringing down the library as a whole. Why not just leave the modified version in the library that did the editing and have the other Macs do the editing if they see fit. As for the PC it will have to do it's own editing by if it edits the source file it may break the link again. iPhoto prefers a OS X Extended (journaled) format for best stability.
Do you see any thumbnail images and what happens when you double click on one? If you've just broken the alias links to the source files you might be able to re-link them, event by event (i.e. folder by folder) by linking one file in each event/folder. That has re-linked all of the files in that folder for me in the past, BUT they were residing on an external FW hard drive.
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.

IPhoto randomly deleting photos, leaving empty events behind.

Hi. My iPhoto will randomly delete photos from entire events, leaving behind only an empty event. What is happening? Are the photos still on my computer somewhere? How do I make is stop?
I have read it could be a corrupt library? Is that possible? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Super! Thanks for the guidline for providing better detail.
I'm running iPhoto '11 (version 9.4.2)
-on OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4
- There doesn't seem to be a trend to what photos are deleted and when. It has started within the past 5-6 months. All I observe is when I open my iPhoto, on occasion there will be an empty event. It never deletes partial events and it never deletes the event itself (that I have noticed) There are absolutley no other problems with iPhoto itself. It speaks to my iPhone and iPad just fine, iCloud syncs the Photo Stream well. I am fairly certain that the only photos deleted came from my iPhone. (I have an iPhone 5)
In addition to deleting photos, it seems that iPhoto is misplacing events. For example, I have an event with only 3 photos in it taken on 12 April. It has been moved to the top of the list of events for no apparent reason.
- I can't say how long this has been going on. Maybe 5-6 months tops. I did move to Indonesia from America in that time. I can't imagine that would do anything. Before I left, I replaced my hard drive (upgraded to 1TB from 500GB). I restored off of the old hard drive with no problem. I also got more memory installed so I'm running with 8GB instead of 4GB. I have not installed anything or made any other noticeable changes since the problem began. Although replacing a hard drive is no small thing...
- I have tried to reveal the photos in Finder to see if the original files are still in the source library. They are not. The organization now skips a number where my photos ought to be. Other than that I'm not sure how to fix it. I don't really have a backup from which I can restore.
- There is nothing unusual about the setup, it's a standard Mac OS and I only use iPhoto with my iPhone and iPad.
I hope that helps give some information?

IPhoto upgrade deleted all my photos - how do I restore them?

Hello, I have just upgraded my iPhoto and it appears that this has deleted all my iPhoto library. Any advice on how I can restore my old photos?? iPhoto appears to have started up as a new user and doesen't have any record of any or my photos or albumns.
Many thanks

I also lost about 4000 photos, folders all empty, after putting older iphoto library onto external hard drive and opening it with updated iphoto.
found the photos in the pictures folder (although anonymously as jpegs, have to open them to identify them) but how do i return them to iphoto? and why are the other 5000 photos still visible in iphoto?
when i open the package contents in the iphoto library on the external hard drive there is a folder called originals which has all the photos in, but iphoto seems not to be pointing to it. hard to explain what i mean but basically the photos exist, i photo library doesnt see them, the other iphoto library on the computer that came with the upgraded version is fine.

How can I import all photos from iPhoto and delete all the ones currently on my iPad?

I uploaded all of my iPad's photos to iPhoto('08) thinking it would be easier to delete and organize them. Now that I've done that in iPhoto I need help finding out how to delete all the photos from the iPad and have the iPhoto photos imported from iPhoto back to the iPad.

This workflow may do what you want:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.
2 - connect the iPad to your Mac with the new library open.
3 - import all of the photos from the iPad into the new library.
4 - select the option to delete all of the photos from the iPad.
5 - disconnect the iPad and delete the new library.
6 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select your original library.
7 - assemble the photos destined for the iPad so you can easily identify them by album or event which you alread have done.
8 - launch iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac.
9 - go to the photos section for you iPad and synce those particular albums or Events with the iPad.
That will get those specific iPad photos back into the iPad.
OT

My iphoto just deleted all of its events, contents, absolutely everything... what do i do?
