No photos in iphoto after update

Hi looks like after teh latest update of iphoto, my entire library has gone!  Its there in time machine but doesn't seem to want to restore.  It gives me a message saying it wants to upgrade the thumbnails, but I seem to have been throught this loop twice now and still no pictures.

Thanks for responding.
I have used iPhoto forever and have all my photos categorized in iPhoto's folders and subfolders, organized chronologically by events of my liking: sports, holidays, vacations, etc (through the past 6-7 years). I was peeved when a few updates ago, iPhoto made iPhoto's "Events" the substantial organizational structure, and deleted many of my photos in their "Photos" library. Imported photos seemed to be imported only into iPhoto's "Events" and not in the previous huge umbrella of "Photos", many of my photos disappeared in the "Photos" library, they still existed in "Events (another question). I could still however make my folders and subfolders within iPhoto separate from the "Events" structure which I continued to do. Today, however, I went to upload a bunch of my favorite photos that I had put in a folder in June of my daughter's graduation, I wanted to upload these photos in my mac mobile website but all the photos were gone from that grad folder. They are still in an iPhoto "Event", thus they exist but they have been removed from the folder I created only a month ago. Then I noticed ALL my photos in ALL the folders that I have created through the years are gone, there is only a place holder of where the photo used to be. The folders are still there with the names I gave them.
I have not done anything to bring them back.
I don't understand the "managed" library that you mention. I have never had to even think about this.

  • Should i delete my photos from iPhoto after I import to aperture

    should i delete my photos from iPhoto after I import to aperture? What is the easiest way to do this?

    Depends.
    Did you copy the files into the Aperture Library on Import?
    If so, it's safe to do so. My tip: wait a few weeks until you're happy that you're committed to Aperture.
    Drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the trash.

  • How do I retrieve my photos from iPhoto after Yosemite 10.10.3 update on my Macbook Pro?

    I have a MacBook Pro and just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
    I noticed I had the Photos icon that the same as on my iPhone was on the dock where my iPhoto icon was.  How do I get my photos from iPhoto?
    Thank you in advance!

    Apple does not sell iPhoto any more at the App Store.
    But you should be able to reinstall from the Purchased tab of the AppStore, if iPhoto is showing among your purchases. You may need to unhide your purchases.  Also try the "Updates" tab at the App Store.
    See this post by Tom Perkins:
    Re: how do i sort albums by date in the new photos app?
    I just went through the situation of not finding iPhoto 9.6.1 in the App Store. Working with Applecare, the solution was to (a) delete the iPhoto app, (b) restart my iMac, (c) go to the App store and click on Purchases, and (d) reinstall iPhoto. In my case, for some reason, iPhoto was hidden from my purchases.  Go to Store > View My Account, and go to Manage for Hidden Purchases, where you can unhide iPhoto.  Once I did that, things seemed to work okay.

  • I cannot run iPhoto after update to Yosemite.  I cannot update iPhoto because the application store does not have any iPhoto update available.  Anyone can advice how to overcome this hassle?

    After update to Yosemite 10.10.3 the iPhoto program icon is banned and there is an error message that an update is required to run iPhoto, but the application store shows a message that iPhoto does not have any update available at this time.  There is not even any iPhoto program available on the application store.  Any suggestion on how to solve this annoyance?

    Unfortunately, Apple has removed both iPhoto and Aperture from the Mac App Store so they cannot be downloaded anymore. This means you are forced to migrate to Photos (included in OS X 10.10.3) or, if this app does not include features you need, look for a different app.
    Not true. Apple has removed both Apps from App Store so you cannot buy them anymore. But if you have any of these Apps already purchased in the past, then you can still download them on your Mac.

    Open App Store, sign in with your Apple ID and go to Purchases tab. If you see iPhoto app listed there close down the App Store and do this steps as this is what worked for me:
    Open Finder and go to Applications folder.
    Locate iPhoto app
    Drag iPhoto app from your Applications folder to Trash (NOTE: Do not emptied Trash yet)
    Open App Store app and navigate to Purchases tab.
    Click on Install button which is next to the iPhoto app (on the right hand side).
    Once iPhoto is downloaded again, test it if its working for you. If all is ok, you can remove your Trash.

  • Photos not syncing after update to photo app

    photos not uploading to photo app after update, I have over 10,000 photos that are trying to upload and the last import says 2013 instead of last week.   I have a MacBook pro and my icloud sharing is on and I purchased more space so that is not the problem

    i can sync movies, music, podcasts and tv shows just fine, but whenever i try to sync photos, then i am getting the exclamation mark and nothing - not even the movies and tv shows that worked before - get synched anymore.
    This seems contradictory, I'm not clear whether music, movies etc work for you or not.
    In regard to the photos, make sure iphoto sharing is enabled and not blocked by your firewall, you could try creating a new photo library in the same location but with a different name to your existing library to avoid overwriting it, to see if it's a photo library issue or something else.

  • Cannot email photos from iPhoto after upgrade to 10.8

    After upgrading to 10.8, I have not been able to successfully eamil photos from iPhoto. I can select the photos, click the email icon, and have Mail open with the photos attached (as expected). But the send button is grayed out, and the newly created message window cannot be closed. To get rid of the unsendable email, I have to quit or force shut down Mail, then reopen Mail and manually delete the email from Drafts.
    Has anyone else run into this issue?

    As Larry suggested go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and make sure your email account information is correct. If you joined iCloud that is a must.

  • Cannot download Iphoto after updated to Yosemite

    I cannot update Iphoto anymore after updated to Yosemite. The system popped up a small window and showed that: update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. But it is my own account, I just changed the password.
    Please help me to solve this problem.

    That means, that your AppleID is not associated with the iPhoto version you have installed.
    Which version of iPhoto do you currently have?  Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID (in the Store" menu).
    If iPhoto came preinstalled on your Mac, check the "Purchases" tab of the App Store, if there is an "Accept" button besides iPhoto. If yes, accept iPhoto to associate it with your Apple ID.  Then try again to update.
    If that does not work, uninstall iPhoto - move the iPhoto app from the Applications folder to the Trash and then go to the "Featured" tab of the App Store, search for iPhoto using the Search field, then press the "Get" button to install iPhoto again, this time with your current AppleID:

  • I cannot find my photos in icloud after updating my iphone.

    I cannot find my photos after updating my iphone.

    If you have backups on both icloud and on your computer, then do a restore from either source.  If the phone is new, connect it to iTunes, it should offer you the choice to restore from computer or from icloud.
    Note: 
    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • All my camera photos was disappear after update Album app

    After updated Album app version 5.4.A.0.20 from update center, all photos which took by Xperia Z1 was disappear! only left photo which transfer from old phone and edited photo. i had restart my Z1 and still the same. by the way, my camera is directly save into SD card. anybody know how to recover it?

    You could try going to Settings - Apps then swipe to All and look for the Album app then open it and tap on Clear cache and reboot your phone - Do not tap on Clear data - or you could try deleting the .Thumbnail folder which may be hidden but using an app like a file explorer and choosing show hidden files will show the folder then it's a case of deleting and again rebooting your phone

  • Lost iPhotos After Update

    I lost my iPhoto pictures after updating to Mavericks. I manually updated iPhoto to 9.5 and it's still not working. Anyone know how to fix this?

    What do you mean that you manually updated to iPhoto 9.5?
    The iPhoto library is located in Macitosh HD/Users/user/Pictures/
    You can manually associate a library with iPhoto by pressing & holding the Option key while launching iPhoto. If it does not automatically offer your default library, you can browse to the library.

  • Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

    Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
    Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

    Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.

  • I recently opened my photos with iphoto after uploading my old photos from my PC to finder.  Now that I have my photos in iphoto, is it ok to delete the albums of photos I have in finder?

    I had a problem importing my photos to iphoto when i first started using my mac, so instead I just saved all my pictures in finder.  Now that I have all my photos in iphoto, I'm not sure if its ok to delete the photos i originally uploaded to finder.

    Assuming that you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) then yes - everything imported is in iPhoto and the source photo can be deleted
