Photos has disappeared -- no error messages

HELP! My 1,000+ photos in iPhoto disappeared immediately after answering "update" to the question from iPhoto:
"The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library."
Nothing happened! It just opened with not one photo. I have no idea why it even told me I needed an upgrade.

When you change to from v5 to v6 the library needs to be restructured. What may have occurred is that there are file permission issues preventing the upgrade - though I would have expected an error message. Try the following, it certainly won't make things worse.
Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

  • ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS.  Why?!

    For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS.  I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer.  iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups.  It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me".  Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do?  Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • Can't install iTunes 11 on Widows 8, 'iTunes has stopped working' error message

    Two months ago, I bought a new computer that uses Windows 8.  I was running iTunes 10.6 on it fine until today, when it crashed for some unknown reason.  Every time I've tried to open it again, I kept on getting a 'iTunes has stopped working' message.  I've uninstalled 10.6 and tried installing iTunes 11, but keep getting the same 'iTunes has stopped working' error message with no other details.  I've tried installing it as an administrator, but got same failed results.
    Any help?
    Thanks, Mike

    Yes:
    Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
    That's it!
    So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
    This document gives location:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
    To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
    If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
    X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
    So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
    But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
    Which OS?
    If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
    UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

    When I try to send a photo to facebook an error message comes up.  It says to try again later which I have done several times.  The same error message comes up.  I have sent photos before and didn't have this problem and don't know why there is one now.

  • HT201394 My Quicktype has disappeared from my messaging. How can I get it back?  I just update my IOS 8 to the 8.2

    My quicktype has disappeared from my messaging.  I have even updated to the IOS 8.2 to fix, but still not there.  How do I get quicktype back?

    The new iOS is 8.0.2, but go into Settings>General>Keyboard and see if it still shows the keyboard installed. You can also try a reset on the phone to see if that will take care of it, by holding down the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect any of your data.

  • 'Elements 11 Organizer has stopped working' Error Message

    I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 10 to 11.  Everything works great while I am using it but if I do not do anthing in Elements for 4-5 minutes I get the 'Elements 11 Organizer has stopped working' error message, the only option I have is to push the 'Close Program' button.  I have been putting up with this but now I cannot do a backup due to this problem.

    Hi, I've just noticed that you too were having problems with elements 11, do you have RoboForm running also on your pc? if yes, try switching it off and see how you go! if it now works close elements, go to RoboForm\options\application integration\ then add Photoshop elements application to the list. Elements and RoboForm clash for some reason. Hope this helps

  • ZENcast Organizer Has Stopped Working Error Message

    3ZENcast Organizer Has Stopped Working Error Message+ Hi
    Please could somebody give me some assistance with the following problem, I have looked through the posts but cannot find anything on this problem.
    A couple of days ago I have tried to open ZENcast Organizer on my computer and got the following error message:
    ''Creative Zencast has stopped working. A program caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available'.
    It would not open up ZENcast Organizer and just closed the program.
    I thought there may have been a problem with the program, so I unistalled it etc. and then went to the ZENcast website where I downloaded and installed the newest version which is 2.0.0.
    After restarting my computer etc, I tried to access the program but just get the same error message as above.
    I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 and have the 32GB Zen.
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Regards
    Wayne

    I have the same system. I am getting the same with ZenCast, although it seems to work more often when I ignore the shortcut and go through the start menu. Strange but seems to work.
    Also on Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer I am getting issues with it stopping after 2 songs and giving me the same error.
    I am going to try to re-install with software from the website. I had used my disk that came with my Zplus because I thought based on what I read here that it was ready to go.
    Will let you know if it gets better or not.

  • Itunes has encountered and error message

    I have downloaded the quick time player and it is operating but I still am having trouble with Itunes error message and I can find the itunes standalone to download this is my mistake most likely but i need help

    hi sg73!
    I have downloaded the quick time player and it is operating but I still am having trouble with Itunes error message
    what are the circumstances under which you're getting your "itunes has encountered an error" message?
    the most common circumstance is when people launch itunes, but i've seen it happen at other times too. (importing a CD, downloading a video podcast, plugging in an ipod ...). when do you get it?

  • "yahoosync has stopped working" error message

    Over the past few weeks I keep getting a "yahoosync has stopped working" error message from iTunes when I try to sync my contacts with yahoo, before this it had worked fine.
    I'm not sure why this is happening but I think it started when I updated my vista to service pack 2.
    I have tried to repair the iTunes installation but that still has not worked, i am desperate to sync my contacts with my yahoo account again.
    Im thinking of maybe un-installing iTunes then reinstalling... BUT am I going to lose all my iphones settings and apps stored on the computer then?

    In my experience (others, please correct me if I'm wrong), uninstalling and re-installing iTunes does not result in any loss of 'Library' (which is where all of the other data is held).
    If you're worried, backup the 'Library' (folder) before you uninstall.
    You should be ok!
    As the Italians say (translated): "Good Strength".....

    Dear Experts,

    Thanks in advance

    Suresh,
    Welcome to SDN. Adding to Jürgen Comment, Just double click on status 51 (at node), then in next screen there will be one information (long text) button, just click on it. Some times it will give good details about the error. the information can also suggest direct trasaction to correct the customization, some times!
    try for ur case.

  • I am trying to export my iPhotos to an external HDD. As soon as it gets to 200 photos, I get an error message that says unable to create volumes/freecom/my pictures. Can i remove this limit or increase it? I have nearly 17,000 pictures to export.

    I am trying to export my iPhotos to an external HDD. As soon as it gets to 200 photos, I get an error message that says unable to create volumes/freecom/my pictures. Can i remove this limit or increase it? I have nearly 17,000 pictures to export.

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    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.
