Restauration de la iphoto library impossible

Voilà après un plantage de iphoto qui me marquait qu'il n'y avait plus d'espace et ne voulait plus importer de photos (alors que ce n'était pas le cas), je suis remonté dans le temps par time machine et j'ai essayé de restaurer le dossier iphoto. au bout d'un moment j'ai ce message: "Impossible d’effectuer l’opération car vous ne disposez pas des autorisations requises pour accéder à « iPhoto Library »." et je trouve un dossier incomplet à la place... quoi faire????

Use the Force Quit command, under the Apple Menu.

  • Hi, I've just downloaded Aperture 3.2 and transfered all my iPhoto Library but now when I use the Aperture program it runs at the slowest speed possible and is almost impossible to work with. It is constantly processing why is this?

    Hi, I've just downloaded Aperture 3.2 and transfered all my iPhoto Library but now when I use the Aperture program it runs at the slowest speed possible and is almost impossible to work with. It is constantly processing why is this?

    You can click on the text that says 'processing' in the main windows and it will open (toggle) the Activity Window, (can also be accessed via the Window menu -> Show Activity.
    It will tell you what Aperture is doing with more precision and perhaps even how many photos it still needs to process. It is generally best to wait until all that processing is done before you start working with the photos (well it is best to first turn of options what you dont want to use, perhaps Faces or Previews and then let it process the new photos).

  • Can't import an iPhoto library into Aperture

    I'm using Aperture 1.5.2 and iPhoto 6.0.6 and cannot get Aperture to import my iPhoto library. I am following the procedure in the Aperture User Manual (p. 112) but it doesn't work. I don't get a beach-ball cursor or anything... no images, no disk activity, etc. This is regardless of the “Store Files:” or “Version Names:” or other settings in the dialog box.
    I saw the Apple Support doc entitled “Aperture can't import iPhoto Library from iPhoto 6.0.1 or 6.0.2” which promises a fix in Aperture 1.1. Is this still the same problem? Or is it a different problem?
    I know I can drag the photos from iPhoto into Aperture, but keywords are not preserved. Any suggestions?
    PowerBook Al 15   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I recently started using Aperture 1.5.2 and imported my iPhoto Library from iPhoto 6.0.6, so it's not an impossible task. I also had a lot of trouble with it. I can say it was a pain and there were several false starts and once it froze half-way through importing them. I did File -> Import... -> iPhoto Library and I left the files in their current location... but you said this was regardless of settings. I swear the thing just sat their for a good 20 minutes after I told it to import, although I can't recall if there was a spinning cursor or not. I'd get occasional errors about being unable to connect to server at the beginning (after it sat there for 20 minutes) and middle of the process. I just kept hitting Okay and if I had all other applications closed, Aperature finally did it. So... I guess that all amounts to: "I had problems, too, but after several tries it worked so maybe just keep trying and let it sit for awhile if no one else has a more helpful suggestion." Good luck!

  • How to use an iPhoto library, stored on an external HD connected via USB to a Time Capsule ?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15", connected to a Time Capsule.
    My iPhoto library is stored on an external HD, connected to the Time Capsule via USB.
    I want to sync my photos with my iPhone (iOS 7.1)
    The issue is that iTunes can't display anything in the "photos" tab, within the iPhone section in iTunes.
    The search icon is turning, turning, even for hours, and then impossible to activate the sync between iPhoto and the iPhone.
    What I do not understand, is that it works very well when the same HD is connected directely to my MacBook via USB.
    Why is the sync impossible when the HD is connected to the Time Capsule ?
    I have been told that storing an iPhoto library on a network HD is not recommended by Apple, but it seems to work for many users, according to forums.
    So I would grant the feedback from users that have a similar configuration to mine.
    Thanks
    Stéphane

    I have been told that storing an iPhoto library on a network HD is not recommended by Apple, but it seems to work for many users, according to forums.
    Hmm, well you experience rather contradicts the forums, no? iPhoto is not designed for network access, end of story. If you try use it that way then things fail.
    See this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
    for more. Note the comment:
    “Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

  • How do I fix a messed-up iPhoto Library?

    I have been using iPhoto since version 1. In the early days when iPhoto's performance was severely crippled by large number of photos I used iPhoto Buddy (v1.3) to create separate Libraries. As iPhoto matured and got more efficient at handling large libraries around 2005, I decided to merge my separate (organized by year) Libraries into a single, large Library. I have obviously failed miserably since I now find photos scattered all over my hard drive.
    In the Pictures folder I have five iPhoto Libraries: 1) iPhoto Library (7.5 GB, my latest photos) 2) iPhoto Library 2001 (360MB), 3) iPhoto Library 2002 (160MB), 4) iPhoto Library 2003 (202MB) and 5) iPhoto Library Archive (513MB). I understand that the underlying iPhoto Library architecture has changed over time and my earlier Libraries, generated prior to iPhoto '06, are fundamentally different from the more current Libraries (I am now using iPhoto '08 v7.1.5). The first two Libraries in the above list are packages (i.e., newer format) while the others are separate folders with subsequent sub-folders. My most recent photos are so deeply buried in my screwed-up file structure that it practically impossible to find individual original files. For example, here is the path-name to a recent photo: User/kmf/Pictures/iPhoto Library/2003/10/04/iPhoto Library 2004/Data/2008/November 21, 2008!!
    How do I restore some order to this mess. My wife is mad at me because she can't find some of her original photo files without needing to drill deep into the file structure. Can a program like iPhoto Library Manager help, although it sounds very much like the iPhoto Buddy application that got me into this mess in the first place? Help.

    Welcome to the Apple user assistance forums
    first - you should never be using the finder to look at or move photos
    I'd start by launching iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and using the select library option and see what libraries you can find that iPhoto likes - open each one and verify it - and then download iPhoto Library manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use the paid version to merge the ones you just found into one new library
    Once you have a know good library that contains all of the photos from good libraries then back it up and delete the libraries that you merged to create it
    Then spotlight "Originals" and see if you find any originals folders from old libraries - if you do take a look at them and see if it looks like you want the photo from them in your "new" library - if you find ones you want drag them (of the folder if you want the entire folder) to iPhoto to import them
    Then if you believe there are still photos not in the new library you will have to use spotlight to find JPEGs that are not in the new library and import them
    Once you get things like you want my personal suggestion is to keep everything in one big library - and back up often
    I only use secondary libraries for projects (books, etc) and testing
    Good Luck

  • What is the best way to re-build an iphoto library with 10,000+ images?

    The iphoto built in library rebuild function does not find the 10,000 photos that are in my originals and data folders. Why not? Also, If I use the Fat Cat software to build a new library will it it create 10,000 new files?
    I eventually want to remove these files from my computer all together, but I want to organize them first.
    These photos used to be in iphoto, but when I upgraded to Mountain Lion my iphoto library kind of emptied itself.
    Honestly, I would skip putting these 10,000 photos back into iphoto and simply put them on an external if finding the files in the iphoto library "folder" wasn't so complicated. It's not nesessary for me to store all of my photos on my laptop hard drive, but I'm an artists and a documentor so i would like to keep them.
    Thanks for any and all advice!!!
    I've been reading lots of threads on here and the information is soooo good and helpful. At least now I have some idea of how iphoto works where a few days ago it felt like magic!

    Yes, move them:
    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.
    Do you think iphoto's normal rebuild function might work when I'm telling it to look for my externally located library?
    Impossible to say, but worth a try. If not then:
    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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    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. 
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* 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.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) 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.

  • Hello. I have MacBook Pro. I have 30,000 photos on iPhoto which is not on the hard drive but on an external hard drive. I have purchased a 2nd external hard drive and I would like to make a copy of my iphoto library onto it. I cant get this to work.

    I have MacBook Pro. I have my iPhoto library on external hard drive only. It has 30,000 photos on it. I have bought a 2nd external hard drive and would like to copy my iPhoto library onto it as a back up. I tried plugging both in and dragging the iPhoto library into the 2nd external harddrive. It looked as though it was working as it said 20 hours, however I then got a message box saying FiNader could not complete the task due to incompatible files. How do I do this please.

  • IPhoto library upgrade failed, one third of the photos lost, but the library works as normal. No corruption.

    Hello! I recently replaced my tragically crashed Macbook Pro 2008 with a newer model and transferred my volumous iphoto library of 20 000+ photos to my new machine. To be able to use my iphoto '08 library with Aperture I had to upgrade the library in the iphoto '11 version. I left the computer on during the day, and when I got back it seemed to work fine. I browsed my library in Aperture and could see all the thumbnails, but looking closer I noticed a small yellow warning triangle with an arrow in the corner of some pictures. Turns out all pictures from before ~2010 are lost! When I wiev the photos I see nothing but the infinite black of the data void.
    Here's how I've tried to fix the problem:
    1. Opening the iPhoto Library package in Finder. All the folders for the earlier dates are there, but they are empty. I notice no incorrect or impossible dating, which seemed to be a common problem among users who's libraries where corrupted during the upgrade process.
    2. Rebuilding the iphoto library in iphoto. No effect.
    3. Recovering the iphoto library from my Time Machine Backup. SInce my old hard drive was just 200 GB, I stored all pictures older than one year on my external hard drive (note that about half of those pictures were successfully imported/upgraded). Both the internal and the external hard drive where backed up using Time Machine on a NAS from Seagate (Black Armor 110, 3TB). I was able to access backed up files on my external drive through Time Machine on my old computer, but since it is now rendered unbootable I tried using Migration Assistant to let my new computer inherit the old backup. However, I could not find the backup of the external drive in Migration Assistant, just my old internal drive. When I tried to access the backup volume on my NAS through Finder it didn't show up (I could find it that way on my old computer).
    4. Googling "iPhoto library upgrade failed", or "Inheriting Time Machine backup of external drive", and similarily desperately specific phrases - Nothing useful. Other people seems to have had problems with corrupt Libraries, but I'm not sure that's the case here.
    My pictures must exist somewhere on my computer and in a backup on my NAS. I just can't find them! Do anyone have a clue to what may have gone wrong? I'm afraid the computer might have gone to sleep during the upgrade, because I didn't thinkabout adjusting the power saving settings before starting it. But since pictures 1-8000-something are missing, it doesn't seem to have worked properly during the whole beginning of the upgrade, not just during the middle. As I knew I had a backup of the library I didn't worry about upgrading the single functional copy. From now on I will think thrice before doing anything as serious as this.
    I am eternally grateful for any answers that might help me recovering my photos!
    //Teodor Nilson

      b) I split up my photo collection into two iphoto libraries. One for the new photos stored on my internal HD            and one for photos older than one year stored on my external HD
    And exactly How did you Split up your iPhoto library?
    c) I used Migration Assistant in an attempt to access the Time Machine backup of my old MBP from my new      MBP (by inheriting the backup). When I made my backups, I made sure Time Machine included the external      HD. But Migration Assistant could only find the backup of my Internal HD with the library of new photos!
    And again
    You should not use Migration assistant on an iPhoto library - it generally does not work
    and
         d)   When signing in and mounting the NAS in Finder, I used to be able to see a Time Machine backup      folder/icon. Now I was unable to locate it.
    I believe you are using your NAS for your Time Machine backup. If your Time Machine backup and/or your iPhoto library is on a NAS you will have problems - both need to be on Mac formatted volumes - the least troublsome is a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Manually preparing a new disk for Time Machine
    If you want to erase a disk before using it with Time Machine, follow these steps:
    Open Disk Utility (located in the Utilities folder).
    Connect the disk if it isn't already attached.
    In the left side of the Disk Utility window, select the disk you want to use with Time Machine.
    Optional: If you want to partition the disk, click the Partition tab and select a layout. Make sure "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" is selected in the Format menu for the partition that will be used for backups. Click Apply.
    Click the Erase tab.
    Optional: If you want to securely erase the disk, click Security Options to configure, then click OK.
    Click Erase.
    After erasing, open Time Machine preferences in System Preferences and configure as described in the section above.
    Are the iPhoto libraries kept on an external drive formated Mac OS extended (journaled)? Or are they on the NAS? - If you are using the NAS for iPhoto and/or Time Machine that is the source of your problems

  • IPhoto stopped recognizing my iPhoto library, and it will not let me click open when I find the library in my files. Suggestions?

    I have seen similar questions--mostly from 4-6 years ago--but none are quite the same as mine.  I tried to export a photo from the web to iPhoto for editing and received a message stating, "Which photo library do you want iPhoto to use? To open, iPhoto needs a photo library. Select a library from the list, find another library on your computer, or create a new library that you can import photos to later.  The same photo library will be used the next time you open iPhoto."  Below this is a empty box. Below the box there are three buttons: [Other Library...] [Create New...][Choose].  Since the box is empty the [Choose] button is grayed out. If I click [Other Library...] I can go to Pictures->iPhoto Library. I can highlight iPhoto Library by clicking on it, but nothing happens when I click Open at the bottom of the window or if I double click iPhoto Library itself.
    I only have a handful pictures on this machine--MacBook Air, OS X 10.9.4, 96 GB memory free--so I could create a new library without much pain, but I hesitate to since I don't know what caused the problem in the first place.  Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
              Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
              Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
              Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
              Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
    3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
              Advantages: All images should be preserved.
              Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

  • IPhoto library on hard drive listing by roll

    For some reason my iPhoto library is now organizing all of my photos by roll. I am not talking about how they are viewed from within iPhoto (I know that can be controlled under view/sort photos), but how they are saved on my hard drive. It may be associated with an upgrade to iPhoto 6, but I'm not sure of the timing.
    I used to be able to find a photo on the hard drive (for example to upload) by going to the library, choosing the folder with the year, then with the month, the day, and finally the actual photo. Now, (since April) they are in folders labeled with the roll number only - it is almost impossible to figure out where anything is! Everthing before then is still organized by date. Can't seem to find anything in preferences. Any suggestions?
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Even for uploading to photo printing sites (other than Apple) don't you need to upload the files from outside iP? They prompt me to find the files to upload -- don't I have to go to the files on the hard drive? >
    In this case, it would be recommended to select all the pics you want in iPhoto and then use File>Export>File Export to put the photos on your desktop. Then in the other app just navigate to the desktop files, and delete them when you have finished.
    But as I said before, if you want your library structure to make sense to you, organizing the Film Rolls in iPhoto will do that. iPhoto 6 keeps those files in folders named after your Film Rolls, so the neater your film rolls, the neater the structure will be. If you liked having your pictures stored by date, then you can rename your film rolls based on dates. Or name them by client, project, etc. In Finder, they will list in alpha-numeric order, rather than the chronological order they list in inside of iPhoto. So maybe name each film roll "YYYY-MM-DD-projectname" so they will be listed in a predictable order.
    If you have a large library, this may be a bit of a project. The calendar button at the bottom left of the iPhoto window can help you find all of your photos by a certain year and month. Once you find the files, you can select all, then create new film roll from selection, rename the film roll (in Film Roll view), and repeat for the next month. The good news is that once you have well organized film rolls, you will not have to change them again. And that you have control over how your pictures are stored, as long as you go about this organization via the iPhoto application.
    Don't hesitate to post back if I can further clarify anything for you.

  • How to change the location of all fotos in the iPhoto library?

    my iPhoto 11 library is stored locally on my macbook.
    however, my fotos (the actualy bits) are stored externally on a NAS box.
    (or in other words: option "Importing: [ ] Copy items to the iPhoto Library" is not checked)
    recently i purchased a timecapsule and i now want to move all fotos from the NAS box to the timecapsule.
    i am looking for a way to batch-change the location of all fotos from let's say "/Volumes/MyNas/..." to "/Volumes/MyTimecapsule/...".
    can this be done? any ideas?
    thank you.
    ps: i know how to deal with xml and .db/.apdb files. so don't be gentle on me ;-)

    Not really unless you search the forums and find the older post describing how to hack the SQLite database to accomplish this
    Or use Aperture which can do this easily
    However if you are using your Time Capsule as a Time Machine bakcup volume it is not a good place to put your photos - if you do you have no backup of them which means that sooner of later you will lsoe them - and sooner or later TM will fill the volume and make it impossible to add photos

  • IPhoto Library no longer accessible from Photoshop

    Till now I used a Power Book G4, I life 05 and Photoshop CS2. No problem opening iPhoto Library pictures in Photoshop for working on them.
    I built different iPhoto Libraries for getting them lighter...
    Now I got an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, 3.06 Ghz with iLife 09 but still with CS2.
    The thing is: If I open one of the libraries with iPhoto8, the library is rebuilt to the new standarts of the new version of iPhoto but after that, this iPhoto Library is completly inaccessible to Photoshop (the Library icon is in grey).So impossible to browse and select a picture !!
    I must precise I desinstaled CS2 and reinstaled it from the CD but the problem is persistant.
    Regarding the other libraries that I didn't open at the time (and consequently are not "rebuit"), I have no problem for opening the pictures with CS2.
    Who can tell me where is the problem? Is it a new rule (no access to other applications?).
    The fact is this is very boring and a waste of time opening first iPhoto and then dragging the pictures in a "transit" folder before at last opening them with CS2......

    Gerard:
    The following are tips on how to use Photoshop from within iPhoto as the editor or choice:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

  • Lost thumbnail view in iPhoto Library

    I've been working on a very large iMovie project which is not going so well and somehow I lost my thumbnail views next to the iPhoto Library Source. I have tried everything, and like when I click on "View" I cannot highlight "show thumbnails". I have researched topics and found one that talks about the Pictures Folder & what folders contain what, and nothing on how to get my thumbnails back. It is almost impossible to organize without them. Help please, I don't know what happened.
    Thank You,
    Marge

    Marge,
    In the view menu, "show thumbnails" is only an active option when you are in one of iPhoto's edit modes: it refers to the horizontal strip of thumbnails that can be shown (or hidden) across the top of the iPhoto window. When you are viewing your library or an album, it is normal for this option to be gray.
    That being said, what do you see in the iPhoto window? Are any of your photos visible? Do you have blank gray squares? Have you tried using the slider in the bottom right of the window to change the size of the thumbnails (if this is all the way to the right you will only see one photo at a time).
    Have you ever used the Finder to change anything in your iPhoto Library folder in any way? (This includes renaming and moving files or folders.) This causes big problems, so if you have, post back with some details and we'll try to help you repair the damage.
    If iPhoto is acting quirky you can delete its preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Find it inside Home/ Library/ Preferences. Then when you launch iPhoto your preferences will be reset to their defaults, so you may need to reset them back to your liking.
    One more thing to try is a database rebuild. Hold the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto. Check the first 3 options and let it work. It can take a few minutes. This process allows iPhoto to recreate its database file, which can improve performance and stability if that file was causing problems.
    Post back with some of the above info, and we'll go from there.

  • How I can use old iPhoto library?

    Good day!
    I've re-installed Lion on my Mac. Before that I had copied my iPhoto Library on external HD (copy&paste iPhoto Library folder).
    When i've installed Lion - i copy my iPhoto Library to Pictures folder. But iPhoto don't work with it. I try to launch iPhoto with Alt-button and choose that library.
    So, question is - how i can use my old library or it is impossible?
    And if i cant -  can i manually export my projects (books) to new iPhoto Library?
    Dmtiriy

    Hm...it is hard question
    1. I see that folder not like iPhoto Library, but like common folder. So, i can open at and see files into it.
    2. iPhoto see that library (when i open it with alt-button) - but then i have the messege - "Your library used by other application or broken" - sorry, i have russian version - and translate that message from russian.
    I've tried to create new free library and copy files from old there - but have that messege too.

  • I havent deleted anything but some Images on my iPhoto Library is corrupt ?

    Hey everyone
    I have macbook running latest yosemite software. Couple months back i have spend hours to build my iPhoto library. Last week i was trying to organize my desktop and folders and I probably moved some folders containing photos so now some images wont open in iphoto and it says corrupt file.
    I have spent 2 days organizing 4000 photos and categorized them in iphoto library and i dont want to lose all that work.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers

    Where where these folders located that you may have moved? 
    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 do you see when you double click on those photos?
    what fixes have you tried?
    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?
