Photo corruption post iPhoto 6.0.5 update

Recently downloaded iPhoto 6.0.5 update via software update and multiple photos in the library appear to be corrupted or have a portion missing. Some but not all of these photos have been modified and appear fine in the "Original" folder and in their thumbnail view but appear corrupted in the full screen view. By corrupted, I mean that a portion of the photo from the top down to a certain point appears as it should and then objects in the photo are shifted, color distorted, and sometimes overwritten with colorful vertical bands from that point down. In slideshow view, these pictures are all black. I have backup copies of the originals but can't work on any of the current projects without encountering these problems.
Is it possible to remove the 6.0.5 update if it is, indeed, the cause? Thanks

I tried the instructions to rebuild the iPhoto library. Not knowing exactly what the problem was, I checked all the boxes to rebuild all thumbnails, find orphans, etc. The process executed in less than 10 seconds. Now, iPhoto only shows 6 photos in my library (there were several hundred before). One has the colors all messed up in certain parts of the photo, one is about 3/4 of the picture and the bottom 1/4 is blank, one only appears as a grey, dashed outline, and 3 appear as they should until I try to view them full screen and I get an infinite rolling beach ball.
To answer your question, TD, when using Finder to navigate to my iPhoto library and opening jpgs from the "Modified" folder, the files appear incomplete. Some are normal and continuous from the top down to a certain point - a different point in each file - where they go blank from there down. Others appear completely black in Preview. Still others appear completely normal, as they should. Even the jpgs that show as normal in Preview, however, no longer appear in my library when I open iPhoto.
The beach ball started rolling before I started this post. Its still rolling...

Canon RAW Photos Corrupted in iPhoto

In the last few weeks my Canon RAW photos are importing with some photos corrupted (half good half another photo or unrecognizable), Anyone experiencing a similar problem recently?

It's an SL1 but as the photos import fine into other photo apps I don't believe it's the camera. It (and all of my Canon cameras imported fine prior to the last raw update)

Photos missing from iPhoto after operating system update

I recently updated my Macbook pro operating system to OS X version 10.10.1 and iPhoto to version 9.6 (910.29). After the updates, most of my albums in iPhoto are empty and in the photos folder, all photos pre-dating 2010 are missing. How do I recover these photos?

Obvious: restore from the back up you made prior to upgrading.
If that's not possible:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

There are numerous posts on the forum with the same issue. It seems it is an issue at Apple's end, but I have not seen any Info from Apple.

Iphoto not working after update to mavericks. Cant access photos!!

Hello i just got the update for osx mavericks and i no longer can use iphoto.
I would just update it but the update is linked with a old itunes account i cannot remember the password for.
So my question is how do i update it without losing any of my data? Most of my photos were stored using iphoto.
Or if there is a way to access the photos in finder ill just take them off and stop using iphoto.
Please help!! I got like 4 years of photos in jepordy right now.

Hello Jorda5s,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iPhoto. When you update your operating system, applications you use may need to be updated as well to be compatible.
I understand that you are unable to update iPhoto because it was purchased with an older Apple ID that you no longer have the password for. I recommend resetting the password for that account using the steps in the following article:
Apple ID: If you forget your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787
If you continue to have issues resetting your password, please contact our Account Security Team:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
Once you have reestablished your password, I recommend updating iPhoto.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Books are no longer supported with iPhoto '08 (a roughly six yeal old product) - you can purchase an iLife '09 DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay and install it - iPhoto '09 is still supported this year

After updating to IOS 6.0.1 I cannot copy photos from the iPhoto library to the iPhone. The events appear correctly but the photo count in all the Events is 0

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

IPhoto Photos Corrupted... AGAIN

I have a roll of pictures that I imported before. Some of the pictures in the roll became corrupted, and iPhoto AND Preview could not open/load the pictures. However, in the pictures folder in Finder, there was one version of the corrupted pictures and another of the same picture that was still good and viewable (2 picture files for the same photo: one good one bad). iPhoto seemed to load the corrupted version of some of the pictures in the roll. Copying the "good" photos into another folder on the desktop and importing those into iPhoto did the trick of fixing the problem (would not import directly from pictures folder).
Now, however, the pictures are corrupted once again, and there isn't even a "good" one to import.
I have used PhotoPresenter: Version 3 DEMO, and I don't know if that is causing the problem. How can I fix this problem and is the cause of these corruptions PhotoPresenter?
Thank you!

Thankfully, my backup disk had the uncorrupted photos. I guess I'll start backing up more often (or use Time Machine).

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

ITunes can't sync photos from my iPhoto after update

Hello, after update my iTunes can't sync my photos from my iPhoto. I'm with Mavericks and iTunes 11.0.5. Thank you and have a nice day

I'm having the same issue with iTunes no lonter allowing me the option of syncing my iPhoto pics to my phone. iPhoto is not offering me an update, though. Any other suggestions?

I've lost my photos (crashed hdd, iPhoto library on Time Machine corrupt too). Is there a way to create a picture from the thumbnail that remains in iPhoto? The quality is obviously poor, but better than nothing.

Time machine should have a good copy - how are you determining that it is corrupt
If you want the thumbnails as photos right click on the iPhoto library and make a copy of the data folder and then import it into a new iPhoto library - it contains your thumbnails

Can't export Mail photo-Attachement to iPhoto after update 10.8.2

Saving or exporting Photo(s) as email-attachement(s) to iPhoto does not work: Neither "Sichern > Zu iPhoto hinzufügen" nor "Double click on Photo > Selection: Nach iPhoto exportieren". Save the Photo (individual or all) to a folder is ok.
Update iPhoto to actual Version 9.4 did not solve the problem.

I have exactly the same problem , i spoke to apple support and was told to reinstall mountain lion update which i did and still not working, i had the apple support to carry out a remote save of my system to find out the cause of this problem and said they will be back in touch with me in a couple of days ? also i now have no trash sound and my time and date was completely wrong ,all this since the mountain lion and iphoto update not impressed ,hopefully when apple get back in touch with me they will have it sorted.

I cannot sync photos to iphone 5 or iPad , since updating to new iPhoto and aperture option no longer available

i cannot sync photos to iphone 5 or iPad , since updating to new iPhoto and
Aperture Sync option no longer available

Sorry for lack of info
i usually sync photos from Aperture on MacBook Pro to iPhone 5 and iPad
using iTunes (all latest updates) . Sync worked perfectly
but
since last update of OS X and migration from aperture to new "PHOTOS"
icloud turned off, sync won't put any photos onto devices
I have restored both devices , leaving sync photos option off(to delete any previous photos)
then try to sync photos and nothing happens
i I can sync folders but that isn't how I want it??
hope this is a little clearer

I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

Which iPhoto version did you update to?
If it is iPhoto 9.6 open iPhoto's preferences, go to the Accounts pane and delete the email account.
Now quit iPhoto, relaunch, and add the account back.
You may have to restart the Mac for this to have effect.
If you are using iPhoto as Mail client, you may want to switch to Mail as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane.
This has been much more reliable in the past and less trouble.
