Since the iPhoto upgrade, my albums are gone and everything is listed by date

yosemite....since iphoto upgrade, all photos are listed by date and not the albums..How can I get my albums back?

Not sure why they did that, surely it makes more sense to place all the albums directly under the album tab instead of a sub folder... but hey, whats an extra click...
Albums in Photos are not the same as Events in iPhoto. For those users that had dozens or even hundreds of Events, it's a blessing that Apple grouped them into a single folder. Gives the users the opportunity to organize (or delete) them as they wish.

  • Iphoto quit --  All Albums are gone

    I organized all my photos into Albums. When I was working in iphoto, the program quit. I went back into iphoto and my albums are gone? Any hope of getting them back

    Unfortunately the only way to save that information is to make a backup of the entire iPhoto library. If your hard drive has sufficient space without impinging on the recommended 15% or 10G minimum free space, then that's what you can do. Then using a backup application, I like Synk, you can backup from folder A ( the original library) to folder B (the duplicate copy) frequently and all you'll be copying are any newly added files or any changed files. Takes very little time. A good reason for this approach is detailed in A Tale of Woe and a Lesson to be Learned. It applies no matter what platform you might be on.

    After the first install of iOS8 my iPhone5 locked up with a picture of a cord connected to a device linking to iTunes.  After taking my iPhone5 to the Apple Store, an Expert was able to get my phone operational again.  However, when I returned home I found I no longer had options in iTunes to SYNC or BACKUP my iPhone5.  I suspect that ITunes does not recognize my IPhone any longer.  For the past 1.5 years I have no problems updating or syncing my iPhone…it was only after I upgraded to iOS8 last week.

  • Why is it no longer possible, since the iPhotos upgrade to 9, to select a number of photos and "hold on to them" when changing to a different left-margin "view"?

    There has been a downgrade since iPhotos was… upgraded.
    Before iPhotos was upgraded to 9, It USED to be that
    IF you chose a photo or a number of photos WITHIN an event
    (ensuring that they were engulfed in yellow or blue),
    and THEN went to the left margin and clicked on Photos
    in order to view the ENTIRE library's photos
    (not just those in that particular event),
    the selfsame photos would REMAIN chosen in the LARGER context.
    That is no longer the case.
    And that was very useful, because
    if you wanted to move a batch of photos within one event
    to within another event, that was the easiest way to do so
    — whereas now, we have to search for and "find" them all over again.
    When I go "back" to Photos, I not only lose the selected images,
    say from March 2009, I end up at a totally different place,
    say in October 2006, and I have to do lots more "work" finding
    the photos again then used to be the case.

    Flag the Photos.
    Switch to Events View
    Select the Target Event
    Events menu -> Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event

  • Since the recent upgrade lost my bookmarks and abIlity to hear sound on videos.How do I fix that NOW!

    Since the recent upgrade I lost my bookmarks and ability to hear sound on videos. First I lost VIDEO then thought it was fixed only to find I had no SOUND when the video opened.How do I fix that NOW!
    I have lost a week fiddling with reinstalling and suggested fixes to no avail. I have important bookmarks used in project research and study plans . Can I go back to my original last working version?
    NEED HELP ASAP
    THIS IS A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT I THOUGHT IS A GOOD BROWSER - NOT SO SURE ANYMORE!!!

    Hi movision,
    Sorry you are having problems with lost bookmarks. I note you had problems last year [/questions/851481] and hopefully this time you will have been routinely making your own backups of bookmarks.
    * see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    So two steps
    # Immediately make a backup of your firefox profile <br/> (That ensures any auto bookmarks are preserved). IMPORTANT do this first, restoring bookmarks overwrites existing bookmarks. Put the restored files somewhere safe such as your Windows desktop.
    # Did you create any bookmark backups, if so the linked article above explains how to restore those bookmarks
    You may also be interested in using Firefox sync, if you have a second device,as it allows you to sync bookmarks on the other device; and they are effectively then backed up.

  • All my song names, artists etc are gone and have been replaced with

    I wanted to move my itunes library to external hard drive to make space on my internal hd. Ive been having trouble with backing up and to make a long story short, my music is gone of my hard drive ( internal), im now backing it up from the ipod directly to my external hd, I did it a bit wrong but its getting there anyway. The problem is that now all the song names, artists etc are gone and each one of my 9170 songs are just capital letters, like AURH, so i have no idea what is what. Anyone know what is goin on here and how to fix this?

    Yes, the iPad is designed to erase all data, when you connect it to a new computer.  It only syncs the data that is on the computer you connect to, to the device.  If you don't have your epub and pdf documents on the computer, and set to sync via iTunes.......they will erase. 
    You need to move the data from the other computer, to the mac.  Once they are on the mac, you can connect the iPad, and sync it to the iPad.

  • I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5.  I copied photos from recent - last import into albums.  I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library.  Have I lost them all?

    OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:
    I find a photo in the Library that I will delete from an album:
    I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
    I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:
    Gone from the Album:
    Gone from the Library:
    In the Trash:
    Whaddup with that?

  • I turned on my macbook pro and ALL my libraries and albums are gone from iPhoto, any ideas

    I turned on my macbook pro and ALL my libraries and albums are gone from iPhoto, any ideas
    I already tried the hold down option command key and rebuild, didn't work
    HELP PLEASE
    no I do not have a bckup

    What size if the Library as indicated in the Finder?  If it's large enough to be holding your photos then your photos are probably still in there but the library is damaged.  If the tags you used indicate iLife 11 then try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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             
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: 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.
    Note 2:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    If the above falils to recover your photos continue with this:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • My iPhoto library is on an external drive since the automatic upgrade to PHOTOS I can't open the library

    My iPhoto Library is on an external hard drive since the automatic upgrade to PHOTOs i cannot open my library.
    It says i do not have permission to write in this library, how do i get it open and retrieve my photos to upload to iCloud/

    But forgot to ask then how to transfer/copy my older photos which are on an older external hard drive.
    Are these photos in an iPhoto library there or just loose (or in folders) on the older EHD?

  • I,m having trouble printing jewel cases since the last upgrade. The song titles all bunch up together and are unreadable.

    I'm having trouble printing jewel cases since the last upgrade. The song titles all bunch up together and are unreadable. Can you help?

    I can’t figure out how to import music.
    Import it into iTunes first, then use the media browser in iMovie '08 to locate it.

  • Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window.  I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button.  Any solutions?

    Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window.  I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button. 
    My system trash finally emptied when I discovered "trash it!" is not longer supported by the most recent osx.  Then I found an updated version of Onyx that did work with that trash emptying problem.
    I have a total of 5,723 photos in my library.  A macdevelopers group recently started suggesting a multi library manager for iphoto to overcome some kind of library quota limitations with iphoto as opposed to "more advanced" photo handling, storing and editing programs.  If I went to a mult library manager for iphoto would that cure the apparent incongruent data retrieval problem in iphoto 11 regarding 13,346 phantom photos that will not securely delete?
    Are there any other possible solutions out there? 

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Does anybody know why we are having trouble downloading/updating any apps since the 7 upgrade?

    Is anybody having a problem downloading and/or updating any apps since the 7 upgrade?

    No issues whatsover.  And with automatic updates, I don't even have to think about updating apps.  When you open the App Store and click on updates, what do you see?  If you see a list of apps with an Open button on the right, your apps are updated.  The new OS provides a list of the apps that updated.  If you see an Update button next to the apps, they aren't updated. 
    Have you turned on Automatic Updates in Settings?

  • Iphoto is not as user friendly since the lasted upgrade

    I have had trouble with I photo. I have a Macbook Pro. Since the newest upgrade on iPhoto I do not have access to my full range of pictures and do not know how to access them.

    Photos is not really a new version of iPhoto. It's a separate application.
    You should still have iPhoto on your Mac.
    Your iPhoto library should still be there in your Pictures Folder as well.

  • Since the recent upgrade all my photos have gone from Aperture and i cannot open any backed up Aperture files please help.

    Since the recent upgrade i have lost my Aperture libaray and cannot open the old one message reads you cannot use this version of the application Aperture original with this version of OS X you have Aperture original 3.2.4.
    How do i get my photos back please.

    Aperture 3.2.4 will not work on Mavericks.
    You can do as I did, either do a web search for Aperture updates to your current version of Aperture to update to Aperture 3.4.5 OR just simply upgrade to latest version of Aperure 3.5 ( from the Mac App Store) that is fully 64 bit compliant for OS X Mavericks. As long as you have registered your previous version of Aperture, the new 64 bit version will be a free upgrade.
    Be advised that if you just upgrade to the latest version of Aperture, it will update your Photos  Library, as well.
    When this happens, your old version of Aperture on older versions of OS X will no longer work with the new, updated Photos Library.
    If you still want to be able to access your Photos Library with an older version of Aperture and older OS X version, you need to make a copy of your current Photos library.
    Make a copy of your current Photos Library and put it into a folder called something like old Photos Library so you still have an older version you can still access if you need to.
