My iPhoto pictures are all gone after upgrade to Photos

Can anyone please help!!! All my pictures from iPhoto are all gone after upgraded to Photos tonight. Anyone know how I can recover them?

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library.
BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • After backing up the 2008 macbook pros harddrive the iphoto pictures are all gone!

    A third party company made a backup of my 2008 Macbook pro by taKing the hard drive out of my 2008 macbook pro the videocard broke and i had nochange to do the backup by my own :( so i needed to go somewhere specialized and i paid 125$ for getting the conete harddrive backed up including all my photos music documents. After all the repairs from apples side were done i felt that the harddrive sounded kind of bad so i went back to the apple store and they told me they have to replace the hardrive and if i have an backup which i thought i had, so that was 2 days ago. As i got my macbook pro back from Apple i brought it to thd place who made my backup. All was saved on their extrernal hardrive but all my photos (iphoto) are gone :( they cannot find them anymore on the drive Nd they couldn't do anything for me :( now my macbook is fixed but all my memmories i kept as pictures are gone and i spent 125$ for a backing up my pictures and now they are all gone :( is there anybody out there who may can halp me tell me what to try ? Maybe my old harddrive where did apple sent it to? May i can get it back or could it be on the. Backup drive but under the library or iphoto folders are just some pictures :( like 500 . But there is one corrupt file which i also cannot open :(
    I need help :( thank you

    1. Reinstalling iPhoto has no effect on your photos. The iPhoto application is totally seperate from your iPhoto library
    2. Is you backed up correctly and restored correctly nothing would change
    3. Given your report it is clear that you dopi somethinfpg incorrectly. However since you do not tell how you backed up or how you restored it is impossible to guess what you did wrong or if itpt is possible to fix
    4. Exactly step by step howvdid you back up your iPhoto library and exactly how did you restore it?
    5. Do you have a TimeMachine backup or clone of your iPhoto library from before you did this?
    6. What version of iPhoto '11?  There are many different versions

  • Get Info panel metadata all gone after upgrade to Yosemite!

    Shortly after upgrading to Yosemite I discovered that all the metadata I had typed into the Get Info panel for a multitude of image files has been wiped out! Need less to say I'm ****** off. What happened and is there any way to recover this info? On a related note I also discovered that the field where you type info now behaves like a tag entry field, where typing a comma creates separate snippets of text. Whose brilliant idea was that? Is there a preference that can be reset so the field will accept text normally? Thanks.

    I have the same problem, and no I haven't moved it.. but it's back to the default WIKI after the upgrade..
    It seems there's the data in there.. a good 7-8 gig's worth, so I'm not thinking that's the default/empty data.
    There IS a
    Config
    Config.original
    Actually.. I'm not sure about the exact wording cos I can't access the computer as Yosemite is hanging right now.. **** Yosemite, I'm never going there again...

  • Photos Gone after Upgrade to Photos for Mac

    I recently upgraded to Photos for Mac. I just opened it for the first time. Out of the hundreds of photos I used to be able to view, only four appear. What happened? What do I do to see all the photos Icould see previously?

    Did you complete the migration process from iPhoto Library to the new Photos Library? Did you migrate your main iPhoto Library?
    Where exactly are you looking that makes you think not all photos migrated? You might be looking at Albums, not individual images (they kind of look similar).
    Double-click to open the Photos or All Photos albums to check the total number of photos you have. It's displayed either on the very bottom of the screen or in the tool bar. Compare that total to what iPhoto has in its library (iPphoto is still located in your Applications folder and remains fully functional).

  • Done all troubleshooting, bookmarks are still gone after upgrading?

    I upgraded my GF's firefox to 6.0 for her. All of a sudden all of her bookmarks are gone. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps listed on the Firefox Help section. I have attempted to restore a backup from what I think to be before the upgrade, ( cant remember exactly when I upgraded :( ), but that didn't work either. I can provide addtional details if needed. I also know she has Norton Anti Virus which I read could cause some issues but its been deactivated and expired for wks now.
    She is on a Windows 7 machine.
    Id really appreciate any help I can get to get her bookmarks back, I feel like such a jerk now haha :/

  • All bought titles and albums gone after upgrading I Tunes

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • How can get my Iphotos as screen saver ...all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested in deleting the files from the Finder ..now just left with the "squirly default " screensaver option

    How can I get  my Iphotos to show as my screen saver please ?  all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested and deleted all relevant files , but now am only left with the "Squirly " screen saver option in the drop down menu and no option for Iphoto library.

    Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
    Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
    Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
    I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

  • I used to have task or shortcuts show up when I would right click on the FF Icon on the task bar. After installing 4.0 they are all gone. How do I get these back? or restore them to what they were?

    Win 7 task bar has a Fire Fox Icon. Before installing FF 4.0 I could right click on the Icon and it would show short cuts to various sights, which when clicked on would open that sight in FF.
    They are all gone now. What happened? Is there a way to get these back?

    A few hidden preferences to check to make sure that the jump lists are enabled:
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''browser.taskbar.lists''' this should bring up a few preferences
    # To enable all parts of the jump list, make sure the following preferences are set to '''true''', if they are not double-click to them to change their value

  • MY BB Z10 was Unable to Boot after Many Attempts-soon after my files are all gone!!!

    Dear BB Support Group,
    Greetings!
    I'll always been a BB user since then, even if my Siblings are asking me why??(They are iPhone Users) Until last week, my BB Z10 wasn't be able to boot in its normal boot time. I tried and tried so many times, read the other helpful tips from the internet but i couldn't find the solution. I bought my Z10 only last March of 2013. I am not a hard user of my BB because my field of work are not allowed to used the phone while at work. We can but i choose not to, unless breaktime.
    Let me get back again to the main issue, my sister let me used her iPhone for 5 days then today i decided to try again to reboot my mobile. I was so determined to do so. I follow the link below.
    http://www.geeksquad.co.uk/articles/restore-your-blackberry-z10-when-it-will-not-turn-on
    then, really my mobile works once again, BUT i was so dissapointed that doing it so will also wipe out all my messages, phonebooks, images, documents, and videos WHICH are all important and  memorable to me. I never back up all those files. I was so depressed at this moment and sadly I was so sorry for buying Z10 and for always defending Blackberry to my sibling and colleague.
    Now, my blackberry I think is on its factory setting because it was obvious that it's like im on the starting tutorial and so again...
    My Question was:
    1. Is it possible to retrieve or recover all my deleted files? If possible please help me and guide me.
    2. Why BB z10 are hanging and mostly the wifi connection or mobile network cannot be read.
    3. Why it takes sometime to reboot?
    4. Why it happens to BB z10? I mean, why when you were restarting or rebooting it will take like 24 hours but still on its 99%, and freeze on that level? so we dont have choice but to press again the start button and start the process again.
    Please I wish BB support group can help me on this, all those files are important to me, those captured moments that we cannot repeated again family videos and many more are all gone.... really it was the most saddest day of my life...
    I hope to hear from you soon...I wish that it can be fixed and IF NOT please try to manage well issues (Hanging Z10, booting more than 24hrs) like this becasue your name and credebility are your main goal to take care off..  
    Thank you and advance. Looking forward for your favorable response.
    Kind regards,
    Cecile

    "now how do u know its he or she?"
    Does it matter?

  • Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook- Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture- are they gone?

    I Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook… Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture… are they gone?Becuase they offer to delete what was imported, so to save space i did... Is there anything I can do to restore the picture?

    Do your videos play in QuickTime Playerwhen you reveal one of them in the Finder with "File > Reveal > Original"? Try to open the revealed movie in QuickTime and see if it plays.
    Check the format of the movie. You can see it in the Inspector in QuickTime Player from the "WIndow" menu: Window > Show Inspector.
    iPhoto does not support all movie formats and codecs that QuickTime player can play, and not all frame rates.
    See: Using AVCHD video with iPhoto '11
    If the movie does not play in QuickTime Player either, install QuickTime 7 for more codecs.

  • Lost all applications after upgrading

    Hi, I've just got a 3GS and was trying to sync with itunes to activate the phone
    Here's what happened:
    1. Did a back up with previous phone (3G) with iTunes.
    2. Connect new 3GS with iTunes.
    3. Sync/restore new 3GS
    4. Update phone firmware to version 4.1
    After doing the above and restarting, everything else is ok (restored correctly) except for all my applications. They are all gone now. Can anyone help me out here? any steps that i missed out and is there anything that i can do to restore all the applications?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem, except I realised I haven't lost all my applications but there's a blank page between original applications and bought applications, so it looked like they weren't there.
    I can't work out a way of moving everything across to the left and getting rid of the blank page though.
    Anyone with any ideas?

  • Why when i use a new apple Id and new id for icloud all my information is gone? For example all my contracts are all gone.

    I don't know why when i used a new apple ID and new icloud ID all my information is done. My contracts are all gone. This only happen on on phone. When i was changing the other phones it works fine. Nothing is lost. So i dont understand when i was changing the apple ID and icloud Id the information is lost. You know when you go to setting and you click iCloud and i saw that the contracts book was light on. Does that matter? Does that cause i lost my contracts?

    I don't think the iPhone is really designed for people to be switching from one Apple ID to another so when you do so you may experience problems.  You have two options on the iPhone for where you can be accessing contacts, from iCloud and the iPhone itself.  You can also pull contacts off of a SIM card but they are then stored on the iPhone and not accessed from the SIM card.
    You could try this;
    1. Go to Settings > iCloud
    2. Sign in to the Apple ID that you want the Contacts from,
    3. Turn "On" the Contacts slider and let it download all of your contacts
    4. When it's done downloading, turn the slider back to "Off" and you should get a message like this..."What would you like to do with the previously synced iCloud contacts on your iPhone?"
    5. Then select "Keep on My iPhone"
    Then after that you can then sign out of that Apple ID and into your other Apple ID and the contacts shouls still be there.
