NO MORE PHOTOS or Web Albums show in Iphoto

My update icon was jumping around so I hit it and it did its up date thing. Now when I open iPhoto up there are no photos in there at all. I do have time machine up and running so I should be able to back it up to yesterdays state, but now Im worried that I will get another update request, what to do.
V/R

Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the library location. (By default this is your Pictures Folder) If iPhoto sees a valid library there it will open it. If not, then you have a damaged database.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Make Picasa Web Albums tags from iPhoto keywords

Anyone know why the "Make Picasa Web Albums tags from iPhoto keywords" option does not seem to work? I expected to see the keywords I added to my photo in iPhoto also in Picasa on the web after they have been uploaded.
Downloaded and installed "Picasa Web Albums Uploader" version 1.3.1.680 from Google. Then from within iPhoto did a File > Export. The above option is shown on the "Picasa Web Albums" tab. I am using iPhoto 09.
Thank you very much for your help.

For help with the Picasa Web Albums Uploader, best to seek advice from the makers, after all, no one knows it better than they do.

Shared Photo Stream pics not showing in iPhoto

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS6 and my wife has a new Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion and the latest version of iPhoto.
I created a shared photo stream on my iPhone and sent her the invitation to subscribe. I also added about 6 photos to the photo stream. On her mac, she accepts the invitation to the shared photo stream. Now when she opens iPhoto she sees the photo stream itself but there are 0 pictures in it and even when I add more pictures she never sees them.
Any ideas? Thanks!

On your device using iOS 6, try quitting and re-opening the Photos app:
Quit Photos.
From your Home screen, click your Home button twice. Your open applications should appear in a row at the bottom of your screen.
Scroll to find the Photos icon. Press the icon until the icons jiggle.
Tap the red circle in the upper-left corner of the Photos icon. The icon should disappear from the list.
Tap the Home button again to return to normal operations.
Also check the following:
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

Select key photo for iOS albums synced with iPhoto on Mac

In iOS 7, if a user was syncing photos from iPhoto on a Mac to an iOS device, it was possible to choose what key photo would be displayed for each synced album in the Photos app on the iOS device. In iOS 8, this seems to have been removed, and when syncing, a random photo is now selected for each album instead, which doesn't seem possible to change.
Has anyone been able to find a solution/workaround to this?
I'm guessing/hoping control will be restored to the user when the new Photos app is released for Mac OS X Yosemite, but any feedback will be useful.
Thank you.

Same issue. Ever since upgrading to iPhoto on my retina MBP to 9.4.2. Problem seen with BOTH my iPhone 5 on iOS 6.0.1 AND iPhone 4S on 5.1.1, so not an iOS issue. For me, it impacts both albums and events. In fact, sometimes you can't even see the event under iTunes->device->photo tab, until you exit iPhoto & iTunes and restart both with phone plugged in. There is a workaround for the album's mis-order: by manually sorting photos through dragging a photo to a new location within the album and then placing it back. However, this doesn't work for mis-ordered photos under events. Right now, I just have to live with it.... I have even tried removing all photos, deleting iPod photo cache, and starting anew. Even 1 event with 30 photos have the same problem.....
Really annoying as I like to see my event photos sorted by date.
Somehow, such syncing problems always seem to occur EVERYTIME there's an iPhoto upgrade. Are apple's departments so siloed? Do they not work with one another to test a software before releasing it?
Apple, please investigate and fix the issue ASAP!

When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album? When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order. So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

Announcement: Picasa web albums exporter finally updated for iPhoto 7

Whew, it sure took long enough!
Google's Picasa Web Albums Exporter for iPhoto is finally updated to be compatible with iPhoto 7 (iLife '08). I tested it quickly and it worked like a champ. I only see 1 new feature: an option to convert iPhoto keywords into Picasa Web Albums tags.
Download it here:

ps, sorry if this doesn't really belong in this discussion, but I know lots of us have been waiting patiently for this update.

I want to use Picasa Web Albums to share photos with friends and let them pick out, download and print a decent resolution photo. I use the Picasa (plug in I think) / Export to upload the photos from iPhoto. It lets me pick quality to upload, but I notice that when downloaded from the web album, the highest comes in at 180dpi with a 3264px x 2448 px pixel dimension - is this sufficient for a 5 x 7 print or possibly a 8 x 10 print?
What resolution do you want to print at? Decide and multiply
5x7 at 300 dpi = 1500x2100 needed -- at 150 dpi = 750x1050
8x10 at 300 dpi = 2400x3000 etc
If possible I want to save bandwith and storage space by uploading at a lower resolution, the smallest they offer (when downloaded from the site) is 72dpi at 1000px x 750 px and the medium is 72 dpi at 1600 x 1200 px.
Note that dpi is meaningless for a digital file - dpi is Dots Per Inch so until you set inches (print size) dpi is just a meaningless number and can be totally ignored
see the Myth of DPI for more information - http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html

Moving or copying a photo from one album to another

I am new to Mac and iphoto. I imported photos from a photo card to my library. I have an Album containing some of the photos imported to my library. When I went back in later to move (or add) some photos from the main library to my album, I could not seem to drag or copy them. Any suggestions regaeding what I might be doing wrong?

First, if you are new to iPhoto, I suggest that you take the time to look at the tutorials for iPhoto and all of the iLife applications that you are going to be using. start here
And, be sure you understand how iPhoto works, what it does and does not do.
Look at this thread and read the posts by Smtr and Terence Devlin for more information look here
Now, you have imported photos into iPhoto, created an album and now you cannot add photos to it?
Have a look at this, from iPhoto Help:
Creating a standard photo album
You can create standard albums to better organize your photo library, group the photos you want to burn to CD or DVD, or choose pictures for a webpage.
To create a standard photo album:
Choose File > New Album.
You can also click the Add button, which looks like a plus sign, in the bottom-left corner of the iPhoto window, then choose Album from the pop-up menu.
Type a name for your album and click Create. The album appears in your Source list.
Click Library, then drag photos to your new album.
You can also add a photo to an album directly from another album, a CD or DVD, or another location on your hard disk. When you add a photo to an album from another location on your hard disk, iPhoto automatically imports it into your photo library.
You can also select the photos you want to group first, then create a standard album from them. To do this, Command-click to select all the photos you want to include in the album, then choose File > New Album From Selection and name your album.
You can also create an album by dragging a folder of photos from the Finder into an empty part of iPhoto's Source list. iPhoto creates an album with the folder's name and imports all photos contained in the folder.
Lastly, if you have followed all these instructions and still cannot put a photo into an album, try deleting iPhoto's preference file. It is found in YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist.com. You need to close iPhoto first, locate the plist file and trash it. Don't worry, iPhoto will create another one when you open it again. Open iPhoto and see if it works ok now.
Post back after reviewing/doing all of this, if you are still having problems.

Getting an error of limit of 500 photos for published album when trying to upload to Flickr

I'm trying to upload to my Flickr Pro account and I am now getting an error message saying:
"You may put a maxiumum of 500 photos in this published album. Only the first 500 photos will be added to this published album. If you want to publish more photos, publish another album."
This happens only when I'm trying to upload to a specific set which has 111 photos on Flickr. If I try to send to another set, it works. I can work around this, but I'd like to figure out what's going on.
What does this actually mean, and how am I able to continue to publish to the correct Flickr set?
Thanks.

HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
Again, the photo sync is one way.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
Not good. You can e-mail the photos from your iphone. You do not need to have phoe service for this. The iphone uses wi-fi. The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

Hi I cant able to see some web photos in my ipad showing 'unable to load' .. Some photos able to see but still almost 90% I can't ...pls help me to clear this issue ...thanks in advance

Hi
My ipad is not able to see some of the photos .... I can see with google images and all .. When I am loading some applications or safari images getting the same issue ..first it's showing 'loading' then its happens like 'unable to load ' pls help me to solve the issue ..thanks

When you say that you can't find them anywhere, I assume that you mean that you can't find them on the iPad even though the storage figure says that the photos are there.
You can try this. I don't know if this will work for you but this was recently discovered as solution for phantom photos. This was copied from a post started by gail from maine
Delete all of your Recently Deleted photos from your Recently Deleted folder
Then go to Settings>General>Date & Time, and change the date back to last September when iOS 8 came out, and then go back to the Recently Deleted folder. Although at the Album level it will still say "0" if you tap on the Album, you will be greeted by all of the "Recently Deleted" photos that have surpassed the 30 day limit. Mine went back to when I installed iOS 8.
She found this in a post where txforever was the person that discovered how to do this.
More photos in settings than photos app shows

Picasa Web albums: doesn't display all uploaded photos. This only happens on my desktop computer. All photos displayed on my laptop.

Not all of my uploaded photos display in my Picasa web album. All the photos upload, but 17 out of 90 photos don't display. Some are landscape, some are portrait. This is no pattern to what doesn't display (e.g., not every third photo). This only happens when I use my desktop computer. When I use my laptop, all uploaded Picasa web album photos display.

Is there anyway to import picasa web albums' photos to photostream?

I need to organize my photos somehow and I guess I'm going with Apple due to 48,000 songs in iTunes. Google Music sucked. I have a *hitload of photos on Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, Windows, FB, who knows where else, I'm not even sure I know. Anyone have a good idea how to get started organizing them in one place so I don't pay storage fees to more than one outfit. I like Picasa Web Albums better than Photostream I'm not even sure I undestand photostream but I have way to much music in iTunes for Google Music and I'm not going to mess with that. One of you smart folks help me out a little?
Thanks!

Thanks for that info. We don't really share the photos so much as store them. We don't want to lose them as we don't have albums like our parents did we only have digital photos. Does Apple have a service for this? I take it photostream is more for linking up your phone with you laptop? This whole photo organizing thing is taking up too much of my time. I want to snap the photo with iphone and know that it will forever be stored somewhere I can get to without much trouble.....What is the best service for that...???? Thanks!!!!!

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:
Get help using iCloud storage
This may also help:
Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
