No "Browse Backups" in Lion with iPhoto 9.1.5

For some reason, that option has been removed.
You can no longer browse or restore selected items from Time Machine backups.
See: iPhoto: Restoring from Time Machine with iPhoto 9.1.5 and OS X Lion

#1 is an indication that the library is damaged. Make a temporary, duplicate 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.

Lion and iPhoto and Nikon Camera

Hello. I don't know if this is a Lion or iPhoto problem. So I'm posting this here. I have a Nikon Coolpix 990 camera. I took some photos today. When I attempted to import the photos to my iMac (2009, i7) running Lion with iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2, the camera wasn't recognized and I could not import my photos. However, when I connected the camera to my Macbook Pro late 2008 running Snow Leopard v. 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08 version 7.1.5, the camera was recognized and the import was successful. I rebuilt my iMac's iPhoto library but I have not attempted to sync my camera to it as I deleted the photos. Why was I unable to import the photos to my iMac?

The pictures were able to be uploaded to iPhoto using a card reader. Apparently, in Lion, support from Nikon is no longer provided.

I recently replaced my iphoto '08 in my macbook pro running under lion with iphoto '11. i did the same with all the other ilife 11. they all worked except iphoto. As i was replacing iphoto 08 with iphoto '11 the previous iphoto 08 files were deleted in the applications folder. the new iphoto doesnt work and when i try to load back the old iphoto 08 doesnt work as well. I copied the ilife files from ma co_worker with a macbook pro 13inch, same as mine. any help please,.i have tried to solve this with no success.

this is the error that comes,
iphoto can not be opened because of a problem.
check with the developer to make sure iphoto works with this version of mac os. you may need to reinstall the application. be sure to install any available updates for the aplication and mac os x.
i have installed all the updates including the iphoto latest updates. but it wouldnt solve the problem. any help please

Since you seem to be using a new disk for Lion, Time Machine will consider previous backups to be for a "different" computer. Try doing a control-click or click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks". This should allow Time Machine to see the previous backups.
In the worst case you should be able to open those Time Machine backups and copy your documents from there to your home folder.

Problem with iPhoto after upgrading to Lion

I just upgraded my IMac to Lion, but IPhoto did not upgrade. When I go to the Appstore, it looks like I need to buy the IPhoto upgrade. Is that right?

iPhoto is not part of Lion. It comes with a Mac. So, the version you own is the one that came with your Mac. If you want the newest version, you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with a SSD for system. Restored drive from backup. Now logon password doesn't work. Account password still works. Changing password in user group preferences no longer works to change logon password.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with SSD for system drive. Drive stopped booting, but otherwise appeared healthy. Restored from system backup. Now drive seems to work properly, BUT my logon password no longer works. Password OK for account; can access system preferences, and change user password there BUT logon still refuses to accept password. No luck changing password for that account after adding new administrator account and logging on from that account. Suggestions? Thanks.

If you redirect Accounts to another location (not on the Boot Drive) you need to direct them back there again after a restore.
SystemPreferences > Accounts/User&Groups > ...
... Unlock the lock, then hold down Control as you click on an Account to get access to the Advanced Options pane.

HT201364 I upgraded my MacBook Pro with Lion (but with iphoto 9.2.1) to Maverick and now I can't open iphoto and I can't update either

I upgraded my MacBook Pro with Lion (but with iphoto 9.2.1) to Maverick and now I can't open iphoto and I can't update either - can anyone help please?

Download the iPhoto upgrade from the App Store. It should be free.
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.

Incremental Backup possible with iPhoto '08?

Hi - I've always run a couple backup schemes for my iMac, and with iPhoto '08 it has become a lot more time intensive as the backup programs are now always replacing the entire iPhoto library in an incremental backup as opposed to incremental backup within the iPhoto folder (which was the case in iPhoto '06). Doesn't seem to be a problem for TimeMachine. But is a major issue for other programs I use (including Mozy, which has to upload 40GB everytime I add a photo to iPhoto, which is crazy!!; as well as syncing the library to an external drive and my MacBook).
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks!!

Synk Standard does look inside the iPhoto Library package and backs up only those files that are new or have been changed. Most of my libraries can be incrementally backed up in less than 1 minute. My 29,000 file library takes 2.5 minutes, only 16 seconds if I've not rebooted since the last backup and using it's ZeroScan feature.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

Backup made with iPhoto 6

Will a backup made with iPhoto 6 work or read on 1 photo8?
Thanks

brustee:
If the disk was burned via iPhoto's Share->Burn Disk menu option then, yes, it will be compatible and viewable by iPhoto 7. Event earlier backup disks, iPhoto 5, are readable and useable by iPhoto like this. You can just view the photos or drag them into the new library.
Do you Twango?

Have you tried your iPhoto 5 DVD backups with iPhoto 6?

Hi,
Have you tried your iPhoto 5 DVD backups with iPhoto 6?
When I upgraded to iPhoto 5 I had to rebuild all my previous iPhoto 4 backups to the new version. It took hours and I had to re-burn the DVDs in the new format.
Thanks,
-meny

Hi Lori,
I meant a CD or DVD burned from within iPhoto 5.
If you made such CD/DVD in iPhoto 4 and opened it in iPhoto 5, the library had to be rebuilt. This took up to 15 minutes.
If iPhoto 6 can open iPhoto 5 libraries without a need to rebuild, that's great news!

Any way to improve response time with iPhoto 8.1.2 using Mountain Lion ?

Any way to improve response time with iPhoto 8.1.2 using Mountain Lion ? Can you store photos on a separate hard drive and use a smaller file for openning iphoto?

How did you move your iPhoto library to the new system? the recommended way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Is it possible to downgrade to mountain lion with the help of a time machine backup after having updated to Mavericks?

Is it possible to downgrade to mountain lion with the help of a time machine backup after having updated to Mavericks?

Just to be clear, if by downgrade you mean uninstall, then the answer is technically, no.
You can't uninstall an OS. You can erase and re-install the old OS, but if you don't have a prior backup of your data, you'll lose it during the erase procedure.

Restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup in Lion

How can I restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup using Lion.
Thanks

If you know the file names of the photos you want to restore you can use Find Any File to search your Time Machine hard drive for that file. When it is found you can drag it from the search window to the Desktop and import into iPhoto from there.
Due to the nature of the Time Machine backup structure each search can take a while. The search results window will look like this:
