Recently updated to iphoto 9.2, I have blank thumbnail previews.

I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2 (626), my most recent imported pictures have blank thumbnails. I have tried to rebuild the thumbnails, and have tried to import new photos with multiple settings on the camera and nothing seems to be the fix.
I am running OSX 10.6.8
Thank you in advance for the help.

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 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.

I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2.1, more by accident I guess. In the older version off iPhoto when I imported photos and gave the event his own name, this name was also used in the "masterfile"

I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2.1, more by accident I guess. In the older version of iPhoto when I imported photos and gave the event his own name (for exampample "110723 birthday son 2011"), this name was also used in the "masterfile", so I could find the file by his name ("110723 birthday son 2011") in the "masterfile" on my HD and copy and paste it from there to other computers.
In the new version the file gets stored under a seemingly random number, which does not give me any information about the content.
Is there a way to fix this? Would it be different in apperture?
Thanks

I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem. All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera. Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library. Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that. To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it. I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth. This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it. If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly). How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

What is the most recent update to iPhoto? I have a note about 9.5 yet my macPro has 9.4.3 and says I am current.

What is the most recent update to iPhoto? I am transferring my library from a remote drive to my macPro, using iPhoto library manager, and get a message that the pictures I am transferring are in iPhoto 9.5. My computer has 9.4.3 and it says my software is up to date.

iPhoto 9.5.1 is the most recent iPhoto version. However, iPhoto 9.4.3 is the last iPhoto version for your OS X version. If you want to use iPhoto 9.5.1, you need to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. You can download it from the Mac App Store.
Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

Any suggestions?

The restriction passcode is not necessarily the same as the device passcode.
The restriction passcode can not set itself. It had to be set by you or by someone with physical access to your phone..
Ask the person/people you live with if they set one... A spouse, a parent, a jealous boy/girlfriend, etc.
If they deny it, and you don't know what it is, then the only thing you can do is restore the phone using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restriction settings are contained in the backup.

Recent update to Iphoto 8... library is gone

I recently installed an update for iphoto 8, and when I went to look at my photos it said my library didn't exist. Also, my hard drive now has 9 gigs less space on it. Any ideas?

Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. 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.

Some of my photo's won't enlarge in my recent update to iPhoto 11 help please.

I recently upgraded to iphoto 11 and some picture wont enlarge when you double click on them and also when I click on print in the left pane the program locks up.

Hi jefffromnitro,
Try restarting your iMac and see if that solves the problem. If that doesn't work go to the menu bar and choose Apple > Software Update... . There may be an important iPhoto update that you've missed.
Hope this helps,
O.C.

Recently updated to iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2

All my Faces are missing. Once I discovered it, I opened iPhoto and named the same person about twenty times and it did not save the Face. The corkboard is just blank, even though I'm identifying people. I think it must have to do with the update. I've looked in preferences, but don't see where I could have the "Faces" turned off. Anyone know how to proceed?

1. There are no duplicates in iPhoto unless you imported two or more copies of the same photo
2. If you are useing the defaults in iPhoto and delete a photo from an event and empty the iPhoto trash and the system trash all versions of the photo will be gone

I used to drag and drop photos into pages. Recently updated to iPhoto 9.4.3 and now Pages doesn't recognize the photo?????

I use iWork Pages '09 to create my images. I normally drag and drop photos from iPhoto directly to Pages.
With iPhoto 9.4.3 I now get an error: " The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt". This doesn't happen with every photo from the same event and doesn't get corrected after running 'Repar Permissions'. I can Export to desktop then drag to Pages but that is stupid. What's up???

With iPhoto 9.4.3 I now get an error: " The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt".
This looks like previews of some of your photos are missing or corrupted. Did you run a cleaning application, like "clean my mac" or move your iPhoto Library? Where do you store your iPhoto Library?
I'd try to repair the database or rebuild the iPhoto Library in addition to repairing permissions with the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools. Launch iPhoto with the command and options-key ⌥⌘ held down at the same time to get to the First Aid Tools.
Back up the iPhoto Library before you try rebuilding.

BASIC BASIC - recent update for iPhoto

Hi,
one week ago, I got a pop up asking me whether I wanted to update iPhoto.
On the moment I couldn't, but now I can, and I would like to.
But it doesn't pop up again, and
1. I do not know any more what was its name;
2. I cannot find it on the main official page of Mac downloads
3. I suppose it is free - it popped up without any request on my part.
So I wonder whether it might be part of iLife 08.
(By the way, is iLife 08 free? If it is not, where can I find a descriprion of its content, so that I can decide about paying for downloading it?)
Thank you very much as usual, I am very happy of and thankful to this community, that is really precious to me .

With respect, don't assume that your issues are everybody's.
You can no longer edit in full page mode.
While I'm nt sure what you mean by "full page". v7 will edit in full screen, within the iPhoto Window and in a separate window - in other words the same range of options is there.
Cropping is a disaster!
No it's not, you're just having difficulty adapting to the changes.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Be sure to include the options to check and repair file permissions in the Library.

Saved InDesign files have blank thumbnails

Ever since I updated to InDesign CC 14, and uninstalled CS6 and CC, the thumbnails of all my saved files are now blank. Also when I click on file in Folder to open it, a dialogue box with the following message pops up:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing the action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Sounds like you are running under Windows.
InDesign has had a bug for over 10 years (if not longer) wherein if you install a new version and then delete any previous version, you lose file associations. A fix is supposed in the works.
To repair your file associations you must total uninstall InDesign 10 (CC 2014) and then reinstall it.
Yes, this is a royal pain in the tuchas!

After recently updating my copy of iPhoto to 9.5.1 I can no longer access my projects; I can see them in the sidebar, but when I click on one of them all I get is a spinning wheel.

I recently update my iPhoto software to version 9.5.1 and since the update I have been unable to open any of my projects. I can see the project folders in the sidebar, but when I click on one of them all I get is a never ending spinning wheel. Any help wouldbe much appreciated.

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.

Recently updated to iphoto 9.2, I have blank thumbnail previews.
