Rebuild now corrupted library

Hi,
Been doing some reading on managing my library better (I have some 10,000 images in it) and after re-locating them to an external drive I decided to use the Rebuild now option as I had seen comments to the effect that it is a good idea to do it every now and then. With all my images been external references my library was at 8G in size.
After doing the rebuild, the library was completely destroyed. Most images had lost thumbnails and previews. Some appeared to have lost all meta-data as well. Most of the images had reverted to referencing the file locations they had before I did the relocate. It appears that it decided to revert all images to reference the locations they had when imported.
Luckily I had a backup - Phew!
Has anyone else had this? I've not been able to find any doco on rebuild now which tells me exactly what it does. Anyone got a link?
ciao

Hi,
I'm assuming that you are using Aperture in referenced mode?
How did you relocate them? Did you just move them through Finder or did you "relocate masters" within Aperture?

Missing files - corrupt library after upgrade to 11.1.4

I updated iTunes to 11.1.4, and after launching, it looked like it was updating my library as it's done in the past. However, this time, after an hour I realized it had not yet completed, and a dialogue box asking about creating an iTunes U playlist was on the screen. I tried to do so, but it just kept repeating. So finally I stopped it, and now I have an file marked iTunes library (damaged) and an incomplete library. I am missing thousands of songs compared to the last .itl I have in Previous iTunes Libraries.
I thought when iTunes did an upgrade to the library it was supposed to make a backup? If so, and I did the upgrade yesterday, why is the most recent file in Previous iTunes Libraries dated from four months ago?
How can I repair the damaged .itl file, as the one iTunes is using now as, as I mentioned, missing thousands of songs now.
Is there any sort of script or utility I can use to figure out exactly which files are missing from the current .itl in my library?
Thanks in advance.

No, you need to do the backup as part of regular computer maintenance and before you do any software upgrades. iTunes moves the old library into the previous library area but perhaps your update failed before it did that.

Is there any sort of script or utility I can use to figure out exactly which files are missing from the current .itl in my library?
Yes, there's one on the Dougscripts web site that will crawl through a library. In yur case it's probably just as easy to drag the whole iTunes media folder to Automatically Add to iTunes. Anything already in the library it will ignore. Anything not there it will add.

HT4927 This may take a long time, depending on the size of the library. How long is a long time? Mine has been rebuilding now for over 24hrs?

My iMac suddenly restarted on its own, saying there was a problem.   When I saw that, I noticed iPhoto was "finding discrepancies and is now rebuilding my entire library."   Ideas?

Thanks Kirk and Thomas....I did appear to have a kernel panic.   The contents of the panic are shown below.   I used disc permissions repair on the internal and external drives and all seem to be ok.     iPhoto is completely rebuilt and all is well there.    I use Time Machine and a dedicated hard drive for its contents.   Been using Macs since my original computer....a brand new Mac II.....this is a new experience.   Here's the info displayed on the panic.   Thanks a bunch...Ralph

My iPhoto closed unexpectedly and now it says "Rebuilding the iPhoto Library database". What is going on and are my photos still going to be there?

My iPhoto closed unexpectedly and now it says "Rebuilding the iPhoto Library database". What is going on and are my photos still going to be there?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what were you doing when iPhoto closed unexpectedly?
how big is your library, i.e. how many photos?
how long has the rebuilding been going on?
do you have a recent backup of the library made just prior to this occurring?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Rebuilding an iTunes Library: How to Do It & What to Expect

When iTunes is performing poorly--sluggishness, weird Podcast updating behavior, etc.--and you have tried everything, the prospect arises of rebuilding the iTunes Library. Instructions are simple. The idea is that the XML Library file will inevitably be "cleaner" than the possibly corrupted ITL file which is the file that iTunes edits in managing your iTunes content, and that after rebuilding your library from the xml file, you will have a fresh, clean ITL file. So, back up your machine. Then, go to your iTunes folder and TRASH the file "iTunes ibrary.itl" in the ~/Music/Tunes Folder. Do not empty the Trash. Also, MOVE the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" to your Desktop. Then start iTunes, select Import in the File Menu and select the iTunes Music Library.xml" that is on your Desktop. It could take hours depending on the size and you can just wait until the automatic rebuild is complete. Incidentally, I strongly recommend that you also disconnect your Mac from the Internet during this entire procedure; more on that later.
Here is the caveat in rebuilding your Library: Apple purposely does not document the ITL file and will only say that most but not all of the information is written to the XML file, a file that technically only exists so that third party applications might be able to work with the iTunes Library. So what information will be missing after you rebuild you library from the XML file? Here is what I found:
i. Music library and playlists: Good news, this remains intact. However, if your ITL file was corrupted you will discover some funny business. For example, there may be items such as Podcasts you have converted to Music files that reappear as Podcast files. You may find that there are files that are missing or files that you know you have, but seem to be missing from the new iTunes Library. There are various utilities or iTunes plugins such as those from the Doug's Applescripts site that will automate the discovery of these and other problems. Also, alas, the Date Added for all files will be today's date and time, not the day and time from as long as 10 years ago.
Your iDeivces (iPods, iPhones, and iPads) will see this rebult library as entirely new. Thus, you will need to decide which Playlists, Artists, etc. to manage/import into each of your iDevices as though they are brand new. Basically, this is a time consuming slog, but you will need to do it. All will be erased and reimported even though they are already on your device. Dumb but there you have it.
Movies, TV Shows, Audiobooks, Books, and Photos: These will remain intact with the same general caveats and iDeivce reimport issues as with the Music files. Namely, you will need to decide what you want to sync anew.
Apps: Here is something that is not included n the XML file. Fortunately, the fix is to simply drag the contents of the Mobile Applications folder into iTunes and drop it. The import will be automatic. However, there may be multiple versions of some of your apps. about which iTunes will warn you and ask for a decision. Unfortunately, the file names of the multiple version apps are not given. So, my technique is to keep the newest version and leave the older one where it is, keeping a list of all of the ones you did not import. After you are done with the import you can go to the Apps window in iTunes, find the imported versions of those files, right click the icon, and then select "Show in Finder." You will then know the file name of the kept file and by inference can identify and decide what you want to do with the other version. In may cases it turns out to be a downrev version that can be moved elsewhere. However, it could also be a version for, say, your iPhone, that does not work with your iPad. In this case, import it and keep it. I would suggest keeping all of the seemingly orphaned apps around for awhile just in case you later find you need them.
Good news: When you connect your iDevice(s) to iTunes you will find that iTunes accepts the apps already installed on them. You need do nothing further in most cases. Wonderful.
Podcasts: Hopefully you heeded my advice to disconnect from the Internet. Because Podcasts seem to be the most problematic of the Library. If connected to the Internet you may, for example, find that the Podcasts will begin to download episodes willy nilly and contrary to your preferred settings. You don't need this right now! So, that said, the Podcasts will be restored including Podcasts that may not currently have any current episodes in them. However, you may find that you will need to Subscribe to some podcasts even though you already had a subscription. In fact, some this having to Subscribe may persist over a few days. Just go ahead and do it of you want the subscriptions. Also, make sure that the Settings for each Podcast are as you like them. You can then connect your iDevice and set it up just as though it is new and iTunes will tediously build your new Podcast library on your iDevice just as with your Music files. Of course you will need to do this for each of your iDevices.
One other thing to watch in connection with Podcasts is your Music section. I ended up with almost 3000 podcast episodes that were not current that were listed in my Music section but greyed out and identified as Streaming content. Rooting these out was a simple matter of selecting for "Genre" and deleting all of the genre "Streaming" from the Library. This list had nothing to do with the settings for Podcasts. It may be a bug or just one of the symptoms of corruption of my particular original ITL file. Notably, I was connected to the Internet when I rebuilt my Library and this is one of the reasons I highly recommend disconnecting before the rebuild. However, this gremlin could occur when you do reconnect. I don't know and I am not about to test for it, So watch for this or for other funny business.
Cloud/iTunes Match stuff: If you had turned on iTunes Match I have no help for you. I have never used it. Intuitively, I suspect this could be an epic mess in the context of rebuilding your Library from the XML file. But maybe not--hopefully not!
iPads, iPhones and the Library: In my case it appears that much of the problem with my iTunes Library file had to do with anomalies and differences betwen what my iTunes Library thought was on a device and what was actually there. Do not be surprised if you feel that you need to restore one of your iDevices. However, prior to doing so consider making an encrypted backup of your iDevice. Encrypted backups include settings and other information that could take hours to reenter and is not included on regular style backups. After a restore, you can be sure that this restoration will be the canonical status of both what is on your iDevice and what iTunes thinks is on your device. Thus you can work with this and then modify it confidently.
Epilogue: For me, this procedure restored performance to iTunes that had been getting steadily worse for about two years. The new ITL file was about 1MB smaller than the old one. Incidentally, even though the ITL fle was modified by iTunes with most major iTunes versions, it traced its provenance back to 2004 when I got my first iPod. That is very long time and so the development of errors and weirdness is not terribly surprising.

Because the Nano was previous synced to another comuter/iTunes library.

Another corrupted library

The other thread was getting long in the tooth and I have some different situations.
I have installed iPhoto 09 on 4 different macs now with 3 out of 4 ending up with some level of corrupted library. All of the thumbnails appear okay. There are no warnings when started and nothing is obviously wrong until the thumbnail is double-clicked and the big grey exclamation point comes up. There is no obvious correlation that I can tell. The 20" has corrupted photos all through out the events, but never an entire event whereas the Macbook has just one event corrupted, but all of the photos. I have tried the command-option rebuild on all of them and only recovered 1 picture on the 24" iMac. All have Leopard 10.5.6 and all of the libraries are on the local hard disk.
Types and results:
iMac 20" core 2 duo - 200 photo library - 20 corrupted
iMac 24" core 2 duo - 300 photo library - 2 corrupted
iMac 20" core 2 duo - 100 photo library - none corrupted
Macbook core 2 duo - 70 photo library - 6 corrupted
iMac G5 - 2500 photos - too scared to install iPhoto 09 !!
Would love to know what is going on. I played with Faces on the uncorrupted iMac and love it.
Thanks.......

Possibly you did not hear from anyone because you did not ask a question nor did you provide any information that might let someone who knows ONLY what you put in your message even make a wild stab at telling you what is going on
What are you doing on these Macs and how are you accessing the photos in the Iphoto libraries?

I am trying to rebuild my iPhoto library and noticed my backup contains aliases (pointers?) and not the actual file. What's the best way to rebuild my library?

I am trying to rebuild my iPhoto library and noticed my backup contains aliases (pointers?) and not the actual file. What's the best way to rebuild my library?
Facts:
In moving to a new iMac, I copied the iPhoto library to an external HDD assuming that I would point the new iMac to the backed up iPhoto Library
All worked fine when I pointed the new library but noticed that some folders contained aliases and not the original file. So when I attempt to open that photo it can't find it because the alias is pointing to another drive.
I do have all original photos from a couple of external HDDs. In the folders titled, "Originals" (from older versions of iPhoto) and "Masters" (from current iPhoto)
I'm thinking I can create a new folder and drop the original files and make that my new iPhoto library. Is there a better way to rebuild my library? I do not want to create any future aliases.
Thanks in advance for any help!

do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it -- and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

How can I rebuild my iphoto library from backup

Can I rebuild my iphoto library from the Time Machine backup?
Somehow the iPHoto libary structure(?), if that's the word, has gotten corrupted.
There phtos are still these, in their year/month/day folders, but though iPhoto
opens it does not show Events, Slideshow, etc.
I found a Support page that tell you how to re-build the library, but
it didn't work.
It just occurred to me that the Time Machine back up should contain the 'library'.
Is so, how do I access it and will it open the iPhoto library intact with Events, Slideshows,
etc.?
Thanks,
Hal

You don't rebuild a library from a backup, you replace the library with the backup:
If you'll describe what happend when you tried rebuilding the library with iPhoto maybe we can offer another possible fix like try using iPLM as Larry suggested.

I just upgraded to iTunes 10.6.1 and now my library is not loaded, how do I get it back?

I upgraded to iTunes 10.6.1 overnight and when I start it now
there is no media loaded, no songs, no films and no TV Shows.
I have tried starting using the shift key to point iTunes back to my library location,
but still no luck.
Has anyone got any ideas??

I found that the upgrade had replaced my library files with empty ones.
So I restored the backup I made of them before the upgrade and
now all my media is back.
Great..
For those who run across this therad and haven't taken the effort to make a backup here is another approach that should work.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Manual rebuild of iPhoto library

Yesterday when opening iPhoto 2.0.1 none of the photos were visible in the Organize window. All the photos seem to be there, I just can see them in iPhoto.
I've tried deleting the .plst file. No change.
I've tried holding Option+Shift when opening and rebuilding the library. It just creates a new library without any images. None of the images are automatically loaded.
In my efforts to manually move images to the new, empty library, I have no luck. I've tried using the Import function , but I always end up with 0 photos in the new library.
I've also tried dragging jpg images, folders with images and data/thumbnails from the corrupted library to the new library, and the originals folders. None of it works.
There must be some steps that I'm missing in a manual rebuild of the iPhoto library for version 2.0.1
I'd really appreciate any advice out there. I've already ****** away many hours trying to make this work.
Thanks,

I've tried holding Option+Shift when opening and rebuilding the library.
It just creates a new library without any images.
If the rebuild just creates an empty library, then the library you're trying to rebuild is very likely empty in the first place (probably as a result of the other activities you've described having been done).

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

How did you rebuild?
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 <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls 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 Roll 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.

How to get iPhoto back in order after recall? Is rebuilding your photo-library dangerous?

I recently had my iMac recalled, and when I got it back, about a quarter of my 62,000 photos only show the thumbnail vies. When I try to enter them to edit them, I get a black exclamtion point within a white circle and no access. I called support and did the 6 steps to rebuild. No results so far.
My back-up is questionable beucase as the comupter hard-drive was dying, it stopping backing up the exteral hard-drive 4 months prior to the actual recall when they replaced my hard-drive.
SO . . . I spent 20 hours putting every **** photo on DVD's before the recall to make sure I didn't lose them. Now I can reload the photos from the DVD's and the photos are all there and normal. However it is time consuming.
THE QUESTION IS - SHOULD I DO THE MAJOR REBUILD WITH APPLE SUPPORT, OR CONTINUE TO RELOAD FROM MY DVD'S?

Thanks OT,
I did the list of repairs APPLE support gave me, but I do not believe it included thte Option+Command launch. Is that a full rebuild that risking losing my organization (books, slideshows, etc)?
I do have two external hard drives which I alternate every few months in case of fire, and which are connected (one at a time) with time machine. Apparently during the internal hard drive failure I missed that the external backups stopped working, and the faulty hard drive would not let me back up when I tried before the recall. NOW my backup works, but it is backing up the faulty data! If I use the old back up I lose 4 months of data, if I use the new I have the fautly data. I think I am back to reloading with the DVD's I made. By the way, I made them becuase I had a computer AND it's external hard drive fail beyond repair 4 years ago. At that time I was able to rebuild my photo library from discs becuase I had made a CD or DVD of every project as I downloaded it from the camera. Heres to backing yourself up in multiply ways!
Oh my.

ITunes Corrupted Library/Crash Exception: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (0x0002)

iTunes gave an error of the effect "corrupted library", and said it created a backup/modified version.
OK, all songs still listed and everything seemed OK.
The next time I started up iTunes (version 7.3.2) it gave a
Exception: EXCBADINSTRUCTION (0x0002)
failure. Now it ALWAYS fails on startup in this manner.
(full crashdump at bottom)
I've renamed ~/Music/iTunes and ~/Library/iTunes, and deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes*.plist
I've manually reinstalled installed 7.3.2.
I've applied the version update to 7.4, which tossed up the new EULA properly and then immeditely started crashing.
Are there ANY other iTunes data files that I should try removing? Any other suggestions? I'd be perfectly willing to nuke my entire music collection (I have a backup dir) if it would restore iTunes, as I need it to calendar sync to my iPod.
Other suggestions?

Drag the iTunes Library and iTunes XML files out of the iTunes folder and relaunch iTunes. If it launches correct then, try the Add To Library command, select your iTunes Music folder, and see if it will successfully add the tracks and then function correctly. If it still fails to launch, try logging into Mac OS X as another user (create one for testing if necessary) and see if iTunes will launch successfully there; that will tell us if it's a problem with iTunes or Mac OS X overall or a problem with your normal user.
Hope this helps.

Who should I trust to rebuild my iphoto library

I live in Honolulu. I have time machine backup and somehow lost my library and my import doesnt have all the faces, event and many many duplicates. I want a professional to fix it. who should I trust?

You don't need a professional. You can do it yourself. Assuming you are running iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database followed by Option #1 if needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download the demo version of iPhoto Library Manager and launch .
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - 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.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
