You can open photos in Preview. That's certainly much more "lightweight" than opening iPhoto just to view a .jpg or such. Is that what you're after?

Empty iphoto library, albums still there, photos in Finder, help please
The last time I opened iPhoto with my library present, I got a message saying that this version of iPhoto could rebuild my thumbnails with better detail and did I want to rebuild now. I said yes, as they hadn't been rebuilt in a while. There were three files created after that ThumbJPGSegment.data, Thumb32Segment.data and Thumb64Segment.data. When I open iPhoto, it says "no photos" at the bottom and the screen is blank and gray. On the left only some of my albums are listed as they were, and all contain (0) photos. I do have all the pictures still there in Finder. I read the exchange from 10/31 with Terence and it would seem I have a corrupt file that needs to be copied or restored. I have a back-up of the library, but it exists in three parts. The first two were created using the backup facility back in June. Then I backed up, again with the utility, just the pictures between the last back-up and the end of our trip in July. We just completed a 10-month trip around the world and I have about 19G and 5,400 pix to restore and would like to keep them in the original albums, esp. since many have been photocasted and the links are all placed in a Photo Archive page on our website. Terence said to copy the library6.photo file from the backup to the hard drive, but can I do this in three parts? If I use the backup utility's restore command will that do it for me, considering the fact that the complete library is a combination of two different back-ups? Help please! Thx!
Folks
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. 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 back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. -
i change iphone4 from i phone 3g,i have back up all my things..but i cant find in icloud...what should i do to get back all my photoes??help!!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The iPhone 3G won't work with iCloud. -
There is any way to see your photos on iCloud. It can be Whatsapp and other apps photos too. Help me to find out?
You can browse it a little more easily with TextWranger. You can also search it:
http://homepage.mac.com/bagelturf/aparticles/library/libtw/libtw.html
See what happens when you restore a vault:
http://homepage.mac.com/bagelturf/aparticles/vaults/vrestore/vrestore.html
It actually renames your existing library and creates a new one. -
this means i can't attach photos from iphoto to emails for example, how can I remedy it?
Of course you can, just remember that iphoto replaces the finder. It's the manager for your photos.

Will Photo Library Manager help without library file
I recently upgraded to Leopard and added ilife to upgrade my iphoto from a reeaaally old version. I imported photos from the old version and Iphoto was working fine a couple weeks ago. Today, however, when I tried to open it, I got the Choose Your Library message. There is no library listed, nor can I find one. I have not done anything to iphoto or the library file since it was last opened and working fine. Will Photo Library Manager help if there is no library file? Is the albumdata.xml file in the iphoto database or is it somewhere else in my computer? Surely the files are there somewhere! What else can I do? I have a back-up but it has run since I last opened iphoto and I can't find a library file in there either. What is the library file called? Maybe I'm not looking for the write thing...
Thanks for your help. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.Did you use Spotlight to try to find your library. If the library was inadvertantly moved to certain areas of the HD Spotlight will not find it. Download and run Find File to search for "Library6.iPhoto". If you get a hit it's a good chance it's the library. Good Luck.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete. -

How can I locate the original .CR2 / Raw file from Photos in finder?
How can I locate the original .CR2 / RAW file from Photos in the finder window? I would like to know a easier way to open my files and use them in Photoshop than having to go to the Pictures folder, right clicking "show packaged contents", and manually searching for my CR2's / RAW's. It is also ridiculous to have to export the RAW file to my desktop, and then take it into Photoshop or another photo editing program. I was able to do this in iPhoto and find I cannot do so in Photos. Please help? Can you please consider adding a right click function that says "Show Original file in Finder". That would make it so much easier and better for those of us who want a simple way to access the original files and use them in other editing programs. At least with iPhoto you could go to the top menu / preferences and find your items.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html is the place for feature requests and feedback
Rather than use the 'Show package Contents route, the supported and safer way is to export the unmodfied original. -

Photos cannot find the system photo library
I’m in trouble. I was deleting photos in ‘pictures’ as I wanted to clean up some space on my iMac. My assumption was that ‘pictures' is completely separate to iPhoto (or photos as it is now called). I then go back into photos (the old iPhoto) and get the message 'photos cannot find the system photo library’.
I cannot access any photos at all. I’m working on a large project this weekend and I have purchased hundreds of photos over the last 6 months which I require for the project. Blood pressure boiling at the moment!

You absolute genius. When I pressed alt and photos it gave me the option to open the ‘old version’ of iPhoto!!
Just so I don’t mess up again. How do I now get the old iPhotos back into photo?
I did try to look on my time capsule but when I viewed the last back up from this morning, there was no photo in the sidebar to even open?
I’m new to the forum. I did call Apple but probably not wise for me to articulate on this forum what they said!
The iPhoto migration to Photos would have been automatic when you upgraded - there is presumably a way to kickstart that again though I'm not certain how as I've not done so.
If you have a Time Capsule that's great.
I'll see if I can get some others to chip in.
Also, if you can still open iPhoto you can of course continue to use that for the time being. -
I have downloaded pictures to iphoto from my Canon Rebel XTI. I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical. Also, if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark. I need to email these photos out. HELP! Also if I do a slide show with the album, those pictures do not show up.
This:

is why you can't do this:

It means that iPhoto can't find the photos.
What version of iPhoto? -
Where is my IPhoto library? I updated and the last two years of photos disappeared. Help., Where is my IPhoto library? I updated and the last two years of photos disappeared. Help.Thank you.
Simple and fast solution: restore from your back up.
Other than that:
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.

I need to upgrade my version and can't find help or any other way
I got a message saying I was using an old and insecure version of firefox. I was directed to click on help. I can't find help.
When I clicked the free download a message said it didn't exist. Try another version.
I have been having problems with viruses and would like to clean firefox or load a new version while keeping my homepage.
I keep hearing firefox is known for not protecting users from viruses.When I try to install the free app I get three boxes that seem simple enough to follow EXCEPT the first box opens with 62% downloaded and never changes. When I try to click here it doesn't move. Once it opened the choice of open with or file . When I chose open it went to a bunch of apps that are not related. How do I select what to open it with? Why is it stuck at 62%

My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!
The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

My wife and I each have an apple computer and an iPhone. Setting them up with the iCloud put us on the same account. I take a lot of photos on job sites and she takes her own photos we have to scan though each others photos to find our own. How do I separate the accounts without one of us losing our own stuff?
Decide which device will be changing accounts. On that device, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll that you want to keep on the device, save them to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to delete any data that you don't want in each account (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa) you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.
