our iphoto library disappeared. how do we find it again?

Hi laurie,
About a month ago, a friend of mine called and said that his i photo library had suddenly evaporated. When I took a look at his computer screen, I saw a very small sliver of gray at the bottom of his screen.
I put the cursor on it and was able to drag up the i photo library he thought was lost. Someone had dragged the iphoto window all the way down to the bottom of the screen, where you could only see a small sliver of it.
Who knows? Maybe your problem is as simple as that.

I know some of my photos have NOT been imported in to the iPhoto library. How can I find which ones?

In error, for a period, I had iPhoto set up such that photos were not imported into the iPhoto library but left scattered around my iMac. How can I find which ones without selecting each individual photo - there are nearly 9,000?

Are you able to view them in full size in the library, i.e. don't get this
when you try to view the photo in full size? If you can then you can do the following to consolidate all of the master image files inside the library.
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I accidentally moved my iphoto library to Macintosh HD in Finder, now it's not working anymore. How can I fix this?

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I wanna copy my pictures to an external hard drive. Therefore I was trying to format my Seagate 1TB external drive (so it works with the Mac), but my Disk utilities is not working as it should (don't know why). I can't open it. If I try "Show packet contents", I do see that it has some kind of content, but I don't know what to do with the content haha. So I was trying different things. Accidentally I moved my iPhoto library to Macintosh HD in Finder (instead of my external drive). Now I have 2 problems: I can't open my iPhoto anymore (can't excess the pictures) and my external hard drive is still not formatted (so I can use it for my MacBook Air 2010)... Who knows whats the best I can do, is there a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Hanneke

Solved! I transferred iPhoto library to Trash and just transferred them back to Pictures in Finder. The problem with my external HDD: I just restarted the Mac and suddenly Disk Utilities did work. I don't know what happened, but it works again; me happy

Why can't i see Iphoto Library as normal folders in finder as Microsoft Windows?

I've been having troubles with this for a long time.
In Microsoft Windows, you don't have any original program as Iphoto, so you have all your transfered photos in folders on "my computer".
In Mac, however, you have Iphoto, and every time you sync your Iphone and transfer your photos to Iphoto, you only have acces to the original files you transfered by opening Iphoto and revealing the original files in Finder (command + shift + R).
That's the way i found to manage my original files. I don't like it though.
I want to know if there is any possible way you can manage/have access to your Iphoto Library simply by opening Finder, and not only in Iphoto.
If i wasn't clear, let me try to suggest you to see it by yourself: Open Finder and search the original file of a picture you have on Iphoto. Normally, you don't find it. So you have to open Iphoto, click on the picture you want to use, reveal it in Finder and then do whatever you need with it.
The problem is that this picture was already in Iphoto Library, which is visible in Finder, but there is no way you can open the Iphoto Library without being redirected to Iphoto.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
Thanks a lot!
Matheus.

In your pictures folder of your user directory, there will be a file called iPhoto Library. Control-click on it and show the contents. All of your pictures will be inside of there. HOWEVER, i you edit, delete, rename, etc... any photos from that folder, you can corrupt your iPhoto Library.

I have looked in the sidebar, and don't see a "rented" tab at all, and my movies section is still empty. Am I looking in the wrong place? Big blue sidebar on the left? Thanks!

In trying to sync my old iPod to my new computer, it says that I cannot sync because it belongs to anther library. How do I find that old library for my new computer?

I have a new computer. It has been several years since I have downloaded any songs to my iPod. My old computer crashed so I could not get the info off of it. Now that I try to sync this iPod to my new computer, it states that it cannot because it belongs to another Library. How do I find that Library. I have resigned into iTunes, found my old account, and it still does not sync.
Any Ideas"
Thanks

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start. Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!

When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start. Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!

It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
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 and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

After updating my I-phone 4s to iOS 7 my Contact icon disappears , how can I find it ?

After updating my I-phone 4s to iOS 7 my contact icon disappears, how can I find it ?

You need to try a reset on the phone. Contacts is a native iOS application and cannot be deleted. Reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If you cannot find it after that, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
