New events are empty, should contain photos

This morning, I downloaded a bunch of vacation photos to iPhoto.  I created several events (which are showing in iPhoto) and I even used some of the photos this morning in a printed document.  Since then, my husband signed onto the mac mini as a guest...and then I agreed to the iTunes update this morning.  Now, the events are showing in my library but no photos are included in any of them.  And of course I deleted the photos from my cameras.  I have iPhoto 11 and a mac mini running Mac OS X version 10.7.5.  I'm not well versed in computer language, but I'm really hoping to figure out what the heck happened to my photos.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) 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.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • New Events are appearing from Flickr Albums

    New Events are being created from the pictures that are located in some (but not all) of my flickr synced albums. The flickr albums then are synced with the photos in these events. So I can't just delete the event as it then deletes all of the photos that are synced. Any help would be great in resolving the issue. My current idea is that I will just stop syncing with flickr but I really enjoy the feature.

  • New Events Are Created Automatically in Outlook

    New events are appearing on my Outlook calendar that I didn't create. They
    are blank execpt for the name "New Event" and the Start and End time are
    filled in. I did not create these events and don't know why they appear
    randomly on my calendar. I am using Outlook 2007, and the company uses
    Exchange Server 2007 SP2. This is an Outlook account that has delegates assigned to it.
    Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5.  I copied photos from recent - last import into albums.  I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library.  Have I lost them all?

    OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:
    I find a photo in the Library that I will delete from an album:
    I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
    I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:
    Gone from the Album:
    Gone from the Library:
    In the Trash:
    Whaddup with that?

  • When I try to sign in to Flickr, a new window opens that should contain a place to log in. The window is empty. This does not happen with IE, I can sign in easily using IE.

    I signed out of my flickr account. When I tried to sign in, the window opens that should contain the fields for sign in. This window is blank. I figure I must have something enabled/not enabled. Any input is appreciated.

    Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
    The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

  • Events don't recognize contained photos

    I have created new events or added photos to other events and the photos are in the event when you double click the event but they don't register in the number of contained photos.  Also on the event the photos came out of you can still see the photos in that event when you do a quick thumb nail preview.  But if you click on the event it only has the photos that were left in the event.  Additonallly the number of photos reflects the original large number even though they have been put into other events.  I also have many events that say 0 photos and there are photos in them.  I hope I don't need to revert back just to fix events on iPhoto.

    what version of iPHoto?

  • When new events are added they are not in chronilogical order. How do I fix this?

    Whenever I would add new photos to my library, the new event would be created in chronological order ... oldest to newest.  To my knowledge I made no changes in my set-up, but now the newest event is created immediately before the oldest event.  In other words it will be listed first not last.  How can i change this so that events are listed in order.  (At this point I simply drag the event to the proper location.)  The only thing that is different now than any previous file is that some files are now in RAW format instead of JPEG.  I am using iPhoto '11; version 9.4.3.
    Thanks,

  • IPhoto events are empty now

    I just bought a new iMac and imported about 5,000 pictures into iPhoto. They were there fine but now they are no longer showing. The events are all still showing but are empty now. What could have happened and is there anyway to find my pictures? Some albums are still showing with pictures in them from an earlier import but not the ones from my most recent import.

    You need to start a new thread as your problem is nothing the same as the thread you threadjacked
    It also is not helpful to threadjack multiple threads - simpy start a new thread, supply the information needed to help you (what you have (version), what is happening and what recently changed)

  • IMPRT "events" are empty after sync

    when I synced my iPad 3rd generation with my iMac recently - the first time since purchasing the iPad 3rdG - a SECOND mystery annoyance cropped up (see below for link to the 1st ongoing annoyance).
    Syncing my Photos, I select "Selected" events to sync.
    Those events are just dandy.
    However, many of the "events" named ###IMPRT show on the iPad in the Events area, but they're completely empty.
    I can't delete them from the iPad.
    HOW do I clean things up? This is aggravating.

    I've resynced my iPad with my computer, hoping that maybe these phantom, empty IMPRT "events" would disappear in the process, but no.
    When I open Photos on my iPad and go to Events, among the IMPRT events folders, are dozens of empty folders, each labeled with a number  followed by IMPRT or with a date.
    I can't delete them.
    I don't even care any more about WHY this is happening (I gave up trying to understand iCloud and Apple) I just want to know  WHAT CAN I DO? I would like to clean things up...the fact that Apple allows users so little control over things like this drives me crazy.
    Please help.

  • Imovie '11 mixed up my events and some events are empty in iMOvie.

    iMovie '11 arranges my movies by date and they are all mixed up now.  For example, 2012 December has events 120708 (a july 2012 event) and 120711, 120812.  Also when I open over half the events, all the clips are missing.
    1.  I have all movies on external hard drive 
    2.  I have just added all photos (221 GB) to the same 2TB hard drive
    3.  Movie events are missing when I try to look at them in iMovie but if I click open my hard drive (like in finder) I can see the clips in each movie event there.
    Thanks for your input,
    Lara

    CanyonMan's comments worked in another line.
    rename the iEvent and it will Optomize, the video appears and iMovie reorders them by date.
    All I did was change one letter in each event to a capital and it took another look and fixed it.
    thanks CanyonMan

  • ICal new events are invisible

    iCal Version 5.0.3 (1605.4) on MacOS 10.7.5
    When I double click on iCal on iMac i don't see the new event but I can see it on other Apple devices.
    WHY??????

    I am seeing a similar issue.
    iCal in Lion (10.7.1) definitely fails to show many events that I have added to my MobileMe calendars, from an iPhone and iPad, as well as from the Mac itself.
    I have entered new events directly into iCal, and watched them disappear before my eyes.
    These events do show up in the MobileMe web interface, as well as on an iPhone and iPad. But, very often, not in the Lion version of iCal.

  • After downloading photos all new events went empty

    I loaded all my photos from my WD backup (PC) on to my new MacBookPro (IPhoto). All went well, and after labeling names on faces I lost all pic in each event loaded. Events have names and dates of pic, but are all empty.
    Can someone help me??
    Thanks

    backup your iPhoto library, depress teh option and command keys, launch iPhoto and use the resulting first aid window to repair repair permissions, if needed repair the  the database - if that does not do it rebuild the database

  • Projects and events are empty!

    Before I call support, maybe someone can help. I created a project and finished it, all locally (no external drives involved). The next morning, when I opened FCPX, the event and project NAMES were there, but clicking on them yielded NOTHING. There was no evidence of any of my imported media, either, although my hard drive still showed 10GB less space, so it was still on there somewhere. After uninstalling and reinstalling FCPX and mounting some random libraries from the "Final Cut Backups" folder, the projects and timelines reappeared, but ALL the clips were missing, and attempts to relink them led nowhere. So I RE-IMPORTED all the footage in a new library/event, and when I dragged the event into the library where the "blank" project lived, all the clips mysteriously re-populated and all was right again. This morning, opened up FCPX and the SAME THING happened. Only this time, I can't get any project/timeline to load from ANY library (including every single "backup" library). So I'm panicking that even if I re-import all the footage for a third time, I won't have a project for the clips to "find" and I'll have to start over. WHAT IS GOING ON??? 
    Thanks!
    Bill

    UPDATE: The event has returned but it is still empty. I opened the Console and the following error is repeated hundreds of times starting at the time of the original crash:
    1/5/14 11:49:54.234 AM iMovie[34085]: CoreData: error: (3850) I/O error for database at /Volumes/Media 2/iMovie/iMovie Library.imovielibrary/Mid Winter Bluegrass Show/CurrentVersion.imovieevent.  SQLite error code:3850, 'not an error' errno:9

  • I have uploaded photos to iPhoto but on completion my Mac crashed and the events are present but no photos remain. My iPhoto is managed version 11 9.4.3 (720.91)

    Is there anythinh I can do to retrieve the pics? I uploaded from 2 SDHC cards, one of 230 pic (which I deleted from the card) and another of 1,200+ pic, which I did not delete.

    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
