Overwrote iPhoto Library

A few weeks ago, I ended up creating new users for my kids on our computer. I wanted to share the iPhoto Library file between users and put it in the Shared folder, which I did. I think I did something incorrect, as one teenager couldn't access the information. I created a new iPhoto library and a few photos where downloaded to that. Well, tonight, I decided to "figure out" the problem and in the process, I ended up overwriting the new library file, without a backup.
Any suggestions if it's possible to recover those files?
Thanks.

Try it yourself first. Recovery software is expensive but data recovery services are ruinously so. I have no experience using the software you link to but have had good results using File Salvage

Okay, I thought I would first, but wanted to know if others have tried this resource as well. Yes, having someone else do it is incredibly expensive, I looked already.
I will try File Salvage then. Would it be best to purchase the CD, rather than download the program? If I downloaded it I could run it off my laptop to work on my iMac. What are your thoughts? I want to save as much as the file as possible and not risk overwriting more of it.
While you were replying to me I also was asking you another question. Rather than have you reply to two note, I will ask my other question here as well for your convenience. Please forgive the repeating.
Larry,
+I don't have a recent copy of TM, sad to say. We had moved our office around and other things and this detail was overlooked. Figure's eh? My own fault there. I am checking out SuperDuper as well.+
+I didn't hear from OT, but I appreciate your feedback. I was thinking fresh this morning, a bit more anyways. My tech didn't think he could do any help to salvage the iPhoto Library file. My computer is still offline and I wondered if perhaps if I put it in target mode I could perhaps look for a copy of the library, or would that also not be a good idea?+

  • How do I find my old iPhoto Library?  It disappeared.

    Hello,
    iPhoto was frozen for a few days (it wouldn't move past the grey, loading screen).  I forced it to a quit a couple times to no avail.  I finally updated my software from the Apple drop down box and the computer restarted.  After it restarted, it said that it needed an iPhoto Library and therefore I needed to make/name a new one.  I assumed it would still keep my photos and I was just renaming it b/c of the software update.  Not at all.  It is a brand new library, neither my old one OR my 1600 pictures are nowhere to be found.
    I used spotlight, finder, searched for named photos/events, searched our users, hard drive, just about everything.  I have also tried to rebuild the libaray, it only rebuilds the few new photos I recently imported onto the new library from an iphone.  It does not rebuild or bring back any of 1600 photos from my old library.  I have also tried pressing command and option to choose a different libaray for default, but my old one is nowhere to be found.
    Honestly I'm pretty lost.  I don't know how anyone could've "accidently" deleted 1600 photos that quickly.  Is there a virus that just targets iPhoto?  My MacBookPro and all of my other programs (Skype, Word, iTunes, etc.) work completely fine.
    Obviously, I think this all happened during the software update.  Could iPhoto have saved my 1600 photos in some type of locked format that I can't access?
    PLEASE HELP.  I have NO backup and am just about at my wits end.  I do not want to lose 1600, irreplaceable photos.

    I'm afraid the most likely explanation is that some inadvertently overwrote or deleted the iPhoto Library.
    As you have no backup you're only hope now is file recovery software like File Salvage

  • Can iPhoto (or iPhoto Library Manager) identify thumbnails that no longer connect to a full image. I can restore these from Time Machine (I've done so for 3 images) but don't fancy manually clcicking on every photo in my library to find which need restore

    I have been preparing photos for export and found some have a thumbnail but no image, only the exclamation mark upon selection. I have restored three 'broken' thumbnails via Time Machine. I want to indentify all the broken thumbnails so I can choose which to restore and also find them quickly in Time Machine. The only way I currently know is to select each thumbnail, individually, and see if it brings up the exclamation mark 'image'. Is there a way to find only the 'broken' thumbnails?
    Thanks

    I went to TM and "Browse Other Backup Disks", selected the USB drive used for TM, browsed for the most recent backup and, one by one, copied each of the folders within /Users/NAME in the TM backup to /Users/NAME on the freshly installed MBP hard drive.  The folders I'm referring to are Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public.  I overwrote the existing (empty) folders.
    That's not how you restore. Might work for other material (pure fluke that,) but iPhoto is a database and the back up is stored in increments. Time Machine needs to reassemble it from the increments.
    Enter the Time Machine interface, go to the Pictures Folder. Locate the iPhoto Library you want to restore and  click restore.

  • Overwritten iPhoto Library

    Hope someone can help with this one:
    I have a MacMini that had a decent amount of images in iPhoto. Today I plugged in my external HD and somehow overwrote then entire iPhoto library with the images that were on that external HD and now I can not find the images that were in the existing library. I've only had the computer for a short time and have not setup Time Machine so I can not restore/revert back. I tried using the "click alt/option key" while opening iPhoto but that is not showing me the option to select from a choice. Is there a way for me to get the lost images back?
    Thanks
    Joe

    IF you've overwritten the photos then your only hope is to
    1. Stop using your Mac - this increases the risk of rendering the files unrecoverable
    2. Use a file recovery application like File Salvage to scan the disk for recoverable files.

  • How can I restore an iPhoto library from Time Machine (ML) - when I TM doesn't see the backup??

    Hi,
    I recently did a Time Machine backup of my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) onto an external HDD. Around the time of the last backup, my system was behaving funny so I decided to rebuild the OS X.
    Because the last TM backup was of a system that as mentioned, was somewhat 'unstable', and I only had a few backups available (didn't have TM running too long beforehand) - I decided not to use TM to 'restore' my system. I just did  a clean install of ML and planned on pulling files over manually. I'd done this before and it worked a treat.
    This time ran into a snag. The backup disk TM used was an external HDD which I wanted to upgrade (suffice to say it works fine). So, I needed to move the backup.backupdb directory to my other HDD. The copy seemed to work fine ... so far so good.
    I installed the new ML OS on my MacBook Pro and that was fine too. I was able to pull most of my files over by going into the TM backup and copying what I needed.
    BUT, for some reason, this didn't work for the iPhoto library?
    Alas, I found that you need to do a 'restore' iPhoto library file from whithin TM. So I fired up TM and noticed that it didn't recognise the old backup file located on the HDD. I.e. when I turned on TM, pointed it to the external HDD (where I copied the previous backup to), it started a fresh backup.
    So ... my question is - "How do I restore the iPhoto library if I can't get to it from TM?"
    Thanks in advance to anyone that can help! The last 15 years of photos are stored in this library!

    Hi ...
    I've found a solution to my problem.
    Time Machine locates extenal HDD backups differently depending if they were done via a network or via a USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt connection.
    My initial backup was done via a direct Thunderbolt connection. I ran into the above issue b/c the second time when I tried looking for the backup file the HDD was conencted to my iMac and I was accessing it via a network conenction.
    I simply connected the drive directly to my MacBook pro and ... voila. I was able to see the backup, select the iPhoto library and begin the restore.
    Hope this helps.
    BTW - I found this out by reading the 'blue box' selection on this page: http://pondini.org/TM/E2.html
    (Thanks goes to Pondini!)

  • How can I delete repeats in my iPhoto library without going one at a time?

    I have been trying to clean up my iphoto library, and find that many of my imports have been repeated in different places. Is there a way to clean out repeat photos so there aren't so many of the same ones without having to do so one at a time?

    You can use any one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR. 
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    PhotoDedupo  - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: i photo has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only diplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have diffferent file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • How Can I Display the Name of iPhoto Library?

    I manage a huge number of images so I keeep them in their own iPhoto libraries. In order to change libraries, I have to rename the one I have just left and then restart iPhoto. I have looked for years but cannot find a way for iPhoto to display the name of the library it has open. I could remember the names of all my libraries if I was not forced to change them in order to leave them and go to another. Does iPhoto tell you the name of the library you have open?
    Thanks

    Hi John,
    iPhoto 6 now shows the name of the library in the title bar of the iPhoto window. At least it did the other day for me.
    You can have a unique name for each of your libraries and use the Option key to launch iPhoto and choose to open another library, then navigate to the library, highlight it and click open.
    You can also use one of the iPhoto Library managers to switch between libraries.

    this page will show you everything you can do with iPhoto Library Manager.

  • How can I use one external hard drive for both Time Machine and iPhoto Library?

    I have been using a 1 TG LaCie external hard drive for Time Machine backups.  My (older) Mac has 160 GB and is almost full.  I would like to move my iPhoto Library to the external hard drive, but I've heard Time Machine doesn't share one space well.  Should I
    1.  create another partition (but will this erase what I've already saved) with Disk Utility?  *I am running Snow Leopard*
    2.  create another volume to use for iPhoto, and if so, should the two volumes be of equal size?
    3.  leave it with one partition and move the iPhoto Library to the same partition with Time Machine back ups?
    I know I don't need the entire 1 TG for back up of 160 GBs.  Please advise the best path to take.  Thank you!

    You are getting incorrect information from your ASP. If you look at drive specifications the heat generated is no different for high vs low capacity drives.
    I have upgraded the internal drive in my iMac 2007 with a 3TB Hitachi drive without any heat issues or other problems.
    Larger hard drives have higher density platters so to access any given amount data the drives travel a shorter distance. Higher capacity drives should therefore run cooler than lower density drives because the drive spends less time spinning to access data.

  • How can I export a project (a book) from one iPhoto library to another?

    I have a photo book in an iPhoto library that was on a laptop.  I'd like to export it from that library and import it into my iPhoto library on my iMac.  Is there any way to do that?  Thanks!

    No
    Books do not exist. They are just database entries. So you must move the entire database (the iPhoto library by default) to move a book. You can make a smaller database by duplicating the current one and deleting everything except the book and it's photos. You can make and save a PDF of a book

  • How do I use one iPhoto library on multiple computers?

    I have a laptop and my wife has a laptop...how do we share one commone iPhoto library? How would that work with syncing our iPhones?
    I'm thinking we should get a shared network drive at home...but then our photos would not be available when we're not home - right?

    The only way to do what you want is to put the Library on a USB/Thunderbolt disk and plug it into each Mac as required.
    I'm thinking we should get a shared network drive at home
    You can't put iPhoto on an Network location.

  • How can I move an iPhoto library from from one Mac to another?

    How do I take a 30 GB iPhoto library from my home iMac (OSX 10.6.8) to work and combine the data with my my iPhoto Library on my work MacMini?

    Put the iPhoto library at work on an external hard drive, take it home and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to merge it into your iPhoto library on the Mac Mini assuming they both are the same version

  • How do I best share an iPhoto library to several users on a Lion Server?

    I am considering setting up a Lion Server to use for our family of five. The one thing I struggle to understand from searching for information here, and throughout the Internet is: Can I set up a Lion server to have shared libraries for iTunes and iPhoto, and what is the best way to set it up? I would also like to understand if such a shared setup would create any issues with reduced functionality and/or performance?
    Today we share libraries across several accounts on one computer, and that works mostly fine, although with some restrictions (only one account can have iPhoto open at a time, which is not much of an issue if on same computer; iTunes can share music but not Apps, ...)

    I followed Apple's support team's instruction to create iPhoto on the new external hard drive (My Passport) - and then drag and drop the existing iPhoto library onto it from the Master file.
    Don't know who told you that but it would be difficult to be more wrong.
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Multiple users on multiple macs sharing iPhoto Library

    How can different family members (using personal logins) all access the same iPhoto library, regardless of which of our two iMacs they happen to be logged into?
    I thought the solution would be as simple as:
    Plug an external hard drive into the Airport Time Capsule.
    Copy our iPhoto library onto the external hard drive.
    Log in as each user, open iPhoto and point to the iPhoto library on the external hard drive.
    I've searched the support forums and can't find a successful example of this. Does it work? If not, is there another elegant solution?
    I'd also be interested in how to back up the 'networked' iPhoto library. I plan to use iPhoto's "publish to Flickr" capability for this as it also solves how to share photos with our family's many iOS devices.
    Ps. I'm new to the Mac environment so am still learning my way with OSX (be gentle please).
    Equipment
    x2 iMacs (<12 months old) running the latest OSX and iPhoto software versions
    2TB Airport Time Capsule (brand new) with a 1TB USB external hard drive plugged-in (not sure of the formatting).

    How can different family members (using personal logins) all access the same iPhoto library, regardless of which of our two iMacs they happen to be logged into?
    I thought the solution would be as simple as:
    Plug an external hard drive into the Airport Time Capsule.
    Copy our iPhoto library onto the external hard drive.
    Log in as each user, open iPhoto and point to the iPhoto library on the external hard drive.
    This cannot work, unfortunately, for several reasons:
    iPhoto is strictly a single user database. Only one user at a time can open it.
    An iPhoto library needs to be on a locally mounted volume. It cannot be on a network share.
    The file system of the drive needs to be MacOS Extended (Journaled).
    Apple's only recommendation to share an iPhoto library is this:    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    If you want to share photos and not the library, see this:   iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
    Trying to put the iPhoto or Aperture library on a network volume, will result in library corruption or data loss:
    Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library

  • As a new member to the mac world could some please tell how i can get my imac, macbook and iPhone to share the same iPhoto library

    How can i share the same iPhoto library so that i dont have to update each computer?

    Not easily. iPhoto is designed for a single user. While it is possible to share the Library there are significant limitations.
    Some questions: Do you want all three libraries identical? Same photos, same Albums, Same slideshows?
    Do you import and arrange photos on one machine or on all of them?
    What networking do you have?

  • How do I successfully upgrade my iPhoto Library from 7.1.5 to 9.5.1

    I've been running iPhoto on my MacBook for the past 6 years. I've accumulated a library of 280GB of photos. I had iPhoto '08 v 7.1.5 (387). Recently, I got a new Mac running Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1. Using the Migration Assistant, I copied my library over to the new Macbook Pro, along with all my other files. I opened iPhoto on the new mac, and it showed a completely empty library. A 'du' from the command line (as well as Info in Finder) of the iPhoto library showed it had 280GB of space taken up, so the files were copied over correctly. Running 'find . -print | xargs md5 | sort' on both libraries before before trying to run the new iPhoto produced identical checksum on all the files (I wiped the new mac, reinstalled Mavericks and migrated again before running this on the new library).
    I've also tried copying the old library to an external hard disk, same results (on file systems formatted to ignore case as well as those formatted to respect case, in all cases it was a MacOS Extended partition).
    I've also tried creating a new library on the old mac, putting 2 photos in it, editing those photos (to flip and crop them). I copied it over to the new Mac (volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, ignore case, journalled), verified that I was using the proper path to this new library and that the files were identical. Same result.
    Over the past two months I've tried everything I could find. One thread said I needed a migration program from such an old version of iPhoto for the Mac, so I tried downloading that from this forum, but it told me I didn't need it when I ran it.
    I've tried dragging individual folders of the Originals and Modified directories over. That got my photos transferred, but the events were all messed up and the assiciation between the Original and Modified photos was lost. Since I have 43,995 photos, 23747 of which have been modified, I don't find this to be an acceptable migration path.
    I tried posting this to another thread on failure of iPhoto to upgrade properly to Mavericks, but was requested to post a new thread due to protocol in these forums, so here is the new thread after making an admittedly snarky comment that Apple totally dropped the ball on this upgrade path and that it totally doesn't work. It should be this hard for a clueful computer professional with 30 years of experience to get it right.
    Yours In Frustration.

    There's actually an option to iPhoto Library Manager that makes this all almost work flawlessly (and work well enough for me). With the exception of Photo Albums that the pictures are part of, if you select "Library > Rebuild Library..." and then select "Scavange Orphaned Photos" check box, then it will put all the Photos and Movies into the "Scavanged Photos" album. It matches the modified pictures to their originals. It preserves all the event names and photo groupings. All the meta-data I could spot check it got right (although with 44k pictures, I only checked a few). If you fail to select this option, however, it will find no pictures at all when it goes to rebuild the library (this was true of the small test libraries I tried as well as the big, monster 280GB library I just finished converting). The conversion process took 5 hours to run, but in the end produced a library my new iPhoto can read and that I can interact with. I'll be suggesting to the iPhoto Library Manager folks a notation that would estimate the number of Orphaned Photos and display that number as a hint to the user that the option would be useful.
    Edited: Thanks to Old Toad and LarryHN for their help in finding which of the many options to transition this library to 9.5.1 I needed to use. Sorry if I took my frustration of the past several months out on you guys for generously trying to help me.
