Repair iPhoto Library

I'm using iPhoto 9.5.1 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.4 . My startup disk is full. A few days ago I tried to open iPhoto and got a message that there were inconsistencies in my library and it needed to repair the library. I agreed and after making it to 100% and opening the photos, I got a beach ball/color wheel. I was afraid to Force Quit. I let it go and went to bed. Tonight I opened it again and got the same message, but I wanted to delete a few files before allowing it to repair so I chose Cancel. I only deleted a very few files so it may not make a difference. Now it is no longer offering to repair the inconsistencies and it is showing 2,000 fewer photos than before in the total. Did I actually lose those photos? How can I tell it to repair the inconsistencies that it tried to repair before?

Very possibly you have lost photos
You need a minimum of 10GB of free disk space - if you do not have that (and if you ever get a disk full message) then you will slow you system down, probably lose things and possibly damage your system
Do you have a backup up of the iPhoto library from before it stopped working?
You need to make space - the easiest way is to move the iPhoto library to an external drive -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

examine and repair iphoto library files doesn't work?

As a Test:
In the Source account - create a new library and try share it instead.
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

How to repair iphoto library

How do I repair / rebuild my iPhoto library? I was having problem importing any picture into my original iphoto library, so I built a new library and was able to import new pictures into it. Now I'm trying to find out how to switch back to the old library and repair it so that I can import pictures into it. I was also having problems in the original library when I was viewing or editting any picute. The pictures would appear as blank black picture frames. I could see the photo when in preview mode (while looking at all photos), but when I double clicked into one then it would show as a black background (no picture). Any help is greatly needed and appreciated.
Thanks!!!

To choose betwee libraries:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
To rebuild:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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 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.
Black Screen issue:
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Repair iPhoto Library?? iPhoto keeps crashing

I can't get iPhoto to boot past the load pictures point. Our Mac was to the limit of the hard drive so I moved Itunes to an external HD and haven't been able to boot since.
Tried the option of rebuilding the library and it didn't work. Tried to repair permission and it didn't work either. Any suggestions? My wife is going lose it if we manually have to rebuild and lose all her album sorting for 15,000+ photos.
Below is the bug report after no boot up:

Tried the option of rebuilding the library and it didn't work.
What does "it didn't work" mean? What did you observe? Did the rebuild start and not finish? Did it finish and not open to an iPhoto library? Was there any warning dialog?

Power failure then iPhoto library= POOF! :-( PLEASE HELP!

Power failure then iPhoto> library= POOF!
We had a power failure and of course iPhoto was open when my computer was improperly shut down. After powering up, I did the following; repaired permissions and ran disk utility (no problems found).
Upon opening iPhoto (6.03) I got the rebuild thumbnails message, and I said cancel (I was going to do it later), then IPhoto opened and it was BLANK! all 5000+ images were GONE! I am assuming the library got corrupted somehow on either the bad crash, or the canceling of the rebuild option.
Now, I am a bit neurotic about my pics, so I choose to make my own finder folders of pic when I take them off the camera, and then import into iPhoto that way. So the good news is I still have all my original pictures in folders in the finder.
From reading various threads here, and Googleing + Macfixit, etc etc. This is what I have done to try to recover my library. (not necessarily in this order)
[list]
[*]Trash/recreate the iPhoto plist preferences
[*]Clear caches using Cocktail software
[*]Repaired permissions (in Disk utility), and then repair iPhoto library folder permissions usuing instructions found here using Batchmod software
[*]Rebuild the iPhoto library (option, command) and selecting the 3 proper checkboxes.
[*]Ran iPhoto Library Manager software to rebuild the database with no success. I get the error message "This Library cannot be rebuilt because its XML file contains no data".
[*]Updated to iPhoto 6.04/repaired permissions and disk utility.
[/list]
Each time iPhoto loads completely blank and void of my photos!
My assumption is the XML file is corrupt since I am getting that message in iPhoto Library Manager.
So what to do? And hear are my questions /issues.
I would certainly like to preserve my 4 years of customization of keywords, titles , folders, smart folders, etc. (which I assume is held in the now corrupt XML file?).
What is the best way to recover my customization and most importantly the images!
I realize I can just re-import all my images from my original finder image folders that I have, but I assume this method will not recover my keywords ,etc?
Is there a way to recover my customization?
I do have a fairly recent backup of my iPhoto folder on a backup drive ( I think!) It does not have all my newer pics in it, but as I mentioned I do still have all my .jpgs, just not in iPhoto!
Thanks in advance for reading and any help offered!
PBG4 1.33 2gig Mac OS X (10.4.6) 120 gig hd

I got all my pictures AND everything else back, folders, ratings, keywords etc
Fortunately I had a backup of the entire iPhoto library folder, it was about 3 months old (I know shame on me) so I didn't want to just use the entire backup folder and lose 3 months of photos.
So I just copied the AlbumData.xml file and the Library6.iPhoto file. PRESTO all my pictures were back WITH all the folders,keywords etc, etc intact!! (up till the 3 month old backup point).
Then I just re-imported the missing 3 months worth of pictures from the original folder in the iphoto library folder. So all I had to recreate was 3 months worth of customization. WHEW!!
Reading through the discussions it seems there is a fair number of users where iPhoto would go empty, but they knew the images were still on the computer. I am not a programmer, but it seems silly to me the their are files that get re-written everytime iPhoto closes....computers crash. and then what happens to the files? Mine got corrupted, lesson learned BACKUP more frequently!!
Thanks to Old Toad who steered me to the Library6.iPhoto as a possible troublemaker in another thread!

Error message when trying to Copy iPhoto Library

I am trying to backup my iPhoto Library from it's location on a WD external hard drive to another WD external hard drive. The Library is 54GB in size. When I try to copy the library, it copies about 1.1GB then I get this message: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
I have used the Rebuild Photo Library to 1. Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions, and 2. Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup, and it still gives me the same message when I try to copy the Library.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

There must be a damaged file or files somewhere in the remainder of the Library.
Try Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. Set the Rebuilt Library onto the external.
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, 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.

Check / Repair iPhoto Database - choose which options?

Hi!
I have read several tips regarding the "Command+Option Click" on the iPhoto Icon and check / repair the iPhoto database. Can someone explain all the 6 options, I can choose in the dialog box?
#1 - Repair the iPhoto Library Database
Where will I see the results of this scan/repair? I have tried it but I didn't see any results (scan finished - no errors -or- xx errors corrected).
#2 - Rebuild the database from automatic backup?
What's that for an automatic backup? Is this the timemachine backup? or is it an iPhoto internal database backup?
#3 and #4 - Rebuild small/all tumbnails
What's the difference? Why should this be necessary?
#5 recover orphaned photos
Are orphaned photos photos, which does exist in the library, but has no thumbnail/event/...?
Or are these photos which has a thumbnail and are in an event, but the full image is missing?
#6 Repair iPhoto Library file permissions
I think, it is easy and recommended to always check this, or?
I have also read the tip "delete iPhoto's cache files, located in ....... caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder".
Are these files the thumbnails from option #3 or #4? or is this something different?
I actually don't have a problem, but iPhoto is extremely slow and I want to know, if everything is ok with the library.
BTW - iPhoto '11 is great! But unfortunately - slow..... (13" 2.53GHz MacBookPro, 4GB RAM bought November 2009 - is this too old for iPhoto 11?)
best regards
michael

#1 - Repair the iPhoto Library Database
iPhoto attempts to repair the database. There is no report.
#2 - Rebuild the database from automatic backup?
It's an internal iPhoto database back up.
#3 and #4 - Rebuild small/all tumbnails
Because some folks lose their thumbnails, some folks have thumbnails that don't match the photo.
#5 recover orphaned photos
iPhoto will examine the library folder for any photos that are not currently being displayed in Albums or Events in the iPhoto source list. It may find some, it may not.
#6 Repair iPhoto Library file permissions
No need to do this unless you have a permissions issue.
I have also read the tip "delete iPhoto's cache files, located in ....... caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder".
No this is a different cache.

IPhoto Library Locked after update

Hi. I recently purchased a MacBook Air, which I've networked to my iMac. When trying to open my iMac iPhoto Library through iPhoto on my MacBook Air, I received a message saying that I needed to update the current version of the iPhoto Library on my MacBook Air in order to view the photos. So I followed the instructions in the dialogue box and updated the software (which took almost 8 hours). Now, the software on my Air is iPhoto 9.1 and the software on my iMac is 8.1.2. When trying to open iPhoto from my iMac directly, I now receive an error message stating "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disc, or you do not have permissions to make changes to it." I searched through iPhoto Help topics initially and followed the suggestion to open the "Rebuild Photo Library" window by holding down option and control when opening iPhoto, and then selecting "Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions". No errors where found, however, a message appeared indicating that i needed to update my iPhoto Library software (as it did initially with my MacBook Air). However, this time it did not prompt me to update the software from the dialogue box, and when trying to update the software, no updates were found.
Any suggestions?

You opened your Library with iPhoto 9.1.
The Library was upgraded to a v9 format. You were warned +before this happened+ that you would no longer be able to open the Library with an earlier version. You went ahead anyway.
Now, you have a v9 Library and are trying to open it with a v8 iPhoto on the iMac. As warned, it can't open it.
To upgrade from v8 to v9 requires a purchase of an iLife 11 disk.

HT1198 Shared iPhoto library file permissions are corrupted.

I am using the alternative option mentioned in the technote. The iPhoto library is located in /Users/Shared.
When my wife adds photos to iPhoto from her account, the files have a permission set of 640 (rw-------) on the file system.
When I add photos from my account, the files have a 666 (rw-rw-rw-) permission set.
I found that by using the iPhoto 'Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions' process it fixes the issue..although I'd really like to find the main cause of her files have a 640 permission set.

It may be too early to be confident, however I changed the permissions as follows: Note: the iPhoto Libray resides on iMac A.
old
iMac A: Users/Shared/Pictures me: Read & Write, staff: Read Only, everyone: no access
new
iMac A: Users/Shared/Pictures me: Read & Write, staff: Read & Write, everyone: Read & Write
I have successfully:
iMac A: Opened the iPhoto Library under my wife's account, then
iMac A: Opened the iPhoto Library under my account, then
iMac B: Opened the iPhoto Library under my account on another Mac on our network and made library modifications, then
iMac A: Opened the iPhoto Library under my wife's account.
In each case, iPhoto did not go into "examining the Library, nor did it need to repair permissions". The Library and iPhoto closed promptly without errors or inconsistencies.
I will keep my fingers crossed since it is hard to confidently trouble shoot without a higher level of understanding of Unix permissions and the details of the iPhoto Library.

Cannot access my iPhoto Library

Cannot access my iPhoto Library. I have tried rebuilding the library and even moved my library back to my local hdd (as it was on an external hdd), but I still cannot access my iPhoto library. I can create a new library so I believe the software is ok.
Repair the iPhoto Library (check); Recover orphaned photos in the iPhoto Library folder (check); Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions (check).
I have tried each box in Rebuilding Photo Library, even Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup as I do have a backup system.
Two events took place that may have caused the issue: 1) My external drive was repaired due to some error(s) found on the drive 2) I changed the Computer Name.
Below is a screen shot of what happens in opening up iPhoto. After the initial indication that it is rebuilding something, it goes to this continous circular rotation. But again no access to the library.
Conclusion: I have my iPhoto library on two disks (local and an external HDD), but cannot access either one.

Called Apple and was awarded a "one-time only" support for my issue for which i was excited to save $49. The culprit was the "DataModelVersion.plist" For some reason it was blank. Copied the same file from the new library I had created and then choose "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" and it began doing its thing of rebuilding. The only loss was having to re-organize 1200 photos from an event called "Recovered Project" which contained photos from my latest additions and renames.
Thanks for the suggestion Terrence on the iPhoto Library Manager...I had seen that you had recommended that in times past. For now, I'm glad the solution only "cost" a few hours on a free tech support with Senior Advisor.

Restore saved iPhoto library after hard drive repair

My hard drive crashed and Apple were kind enough to repair it although it happened 1 week after the extended warranty expired. I was able to save the hard drive files to an external drive just before it died, but now when I try and import the iPhoto library back into the newly repaired computer one of 2 things happen: The photos begin to transfer and then the application (iPhoto) unexpectedly quits, or, the blue bar at the bottom says Working and nothing happens for as long as 10 minutes.
I would really appreciate some help as I no longer have covered support. One of the photo text files may be corrupted. How do I identify the problem file?
Thanks very much,
Colin Sieff

That's because importing from another iPhoto Library folder isn't the way to restore an iPhoto Library. I'm surprised you were able to do it without a bunch of warning dialogs.
If you still have the original iPhoto Library folder intact, the thing to do is restore it as I've described earlier. If you have sufficient disk space, quit iPhoto and drag the existing iPhoto Library folder from Pictures to the desktop. Then drag your backup iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, and the only thing left to do is to start iPhoto. If all's well, move the desktop copy of the iPhoto Library folder to the trash, then empty the trash.

The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it. iPhoto can try to repair the permissions.

Hi, I have the following message when opening iPhoto:
The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it. iPhoto can try to repair the permissions.
I select repair, enter my password and I get the following:
The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it.
This happened a few weeks ago and I have been fumbelling around trying to fix it. I have no backup servers or shared access. My iPhone and iPad 'used to' pump pictures via iCloud but this has stopped.
I am adminstrator with open & edit rights.
I'm using a MacBook Air rinning OX 10.9 (Software OS X 10.9 (13A603)
PLEASE HELP!

Similar problem but not quiet the same:
Please bear with me as I am very new to this subject.
1: Using a MacBook Air OSX 10.7.5 and it is WiFi connected to a Time Capsule.
2: Overnight I have done a complete back-up. Checked the data files and all correct.
3: I can open the files on the TC except for the iPhoto Library as I want to check visually that they are there. All 2,388.
4: The iPhone Library on the TC will not allow me to look in.
5: the iPhoto Library on the MBA allows me access and I can view etc all the 2,388.
Q1: So why can I not look into the TC's iPhone Library? Or how do I open that library so I can look in?
Q2: how can I export data back from the TC to the MBA if ever I needed to do that?
Thanks for helping out a virgin in these matters.

Trying to open old iPhoto library on osx 10.9.5 with iPhoto 9.5.1. iPhoto says I must upgrade but upgrade eventually hangs. Tried to rebuild/repair database but it always says you have to upgrade database first and eventually hangs

Trying to open old iPhoto library on osx 10.9.5 with iPhoto 9.5.1. iPhoto says I must upgrade but upgrade eventually hangs. Tried to rebuild/repair database but it always says you have to upgrade database first and eventually hangs

What version was the old library made with?
What is the exact message? when it hangs does it crash or do you have to force quit?

Error message: There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto library. Do you want iPhoto to repair permissions for this library for you?

I have been using iPhoto for years. Today when I tried to upload pictures from camera, I received the above error message. I select "Repair", enter my password, and then a message "iPhoto was unable to repair permissions for the library" appears. I select "Quit" and it closes iPhoto. Quit is the only option. What has happened? I have tried to access the photos via other avenues such as uploading to gmail, and the photos load fine. I have about 28,000 photos.
I do not know what version of iPhoto I am using as I am unable to access the software. I have a iMac OS X (10.7.5). What should I do?

Select the iPhoto application in the Applications folder and type Command+i to bring up its Info Window. There will tell the version number. If it's iPhoto 9 or later apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
