Updating gallery causes gallery to disappear?!?

I have a few galleries in iPhoto (7.1.1), if I try to update one of them by either adding a photo or even changing to sort by date (currently set to manual sort), the status icon by the gallery spins for a few seconds and then I find myself viewing my library by events and the gallery I was trying to update is no longer listed in iPhoto. Thankfully I've been able to restore the library using Time Machine. Changes made to other galleries work as they should. Any ideas on how to fix this?

You might try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.

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 and Leopard. 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.

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

  • A ban for Update Service cause in dirty shoes into our house

    A ban for Update Service cause in dirty shoes into our house

    How uncool!!!!!
    The workstations have JRE installed, every time JRE of the newest available official version is installed.
    What does the SUS on its installation do?
    It installs additional JRE in own installation directory, does not check if some already present on the system.
    But much more bad is, the version of JRE installed by SUS is obsolete and vulnerable.
    By doing so it just raise w security hole in the system.
    It is not acceptable.
    We found recentlly in the SUS installation directory two JRE deployments: one installer, and one installed JRE.
    It was JRE 7u51.
    A ban for SUS on our systems.

  • Updating podcasts causes my iTunes to fail and close

    When I update my podcasts, whether manually by using the refresh button or allowing the program to go update, it causes my iTunes to fail and close. I have tried multiple times, closing and restarting, killing it in Task Manager and restarting, rebooting the PC, and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I do get a generic "ITunes has encountered and issue and will close now. Windows will notify you if there is a solution" message, but that's it.

  • Latest software update is causing the dock process to use an abnormally high amount of system resources- what's going on?

    After I installed the latest software update (updates that prepare some apps to run on OSX Lion), I'm noticing that the dock process is using 100% of my CPU when idle. This is causing my battery life to be 30 min at best. What's going on?

    There is a conflict with Parallels and the latest update that causes this.  Update Parallels to the latest version and it will fix this.

  • Recent firedfox update immedately cause break in connection between computer and printer

    about 2 weeks ago Firefox offered an update. I clicked to start this. right after the printer failed to respond to the computer and a message said: check cables (done) restart computer(done) check firewall - I don't know how to do this. I have a McAfee contract.
    Could this update have caused the problem? was this update offer legitimate or a virus?

    here is the same problem
    i cant switch between vc7,8,9...only between 1 and 7.
    when i switch to vc8 or 9 only comes nothing but a blank black screen.
    there is no problem on vc1 to vc6, login screen works there.
    gdmflexiserver command doesnt works, same blank black screen.
    but when X is not in work all virtual consoles works without problem.
    ive searched everywhere for this problem but nothing works.people have recommend same things; gdmflexiserver etc.
    i think it is a problem with X server,  maybe a bug of this version.Mine is xorg-server 1.5.3-4.

  • I had iPhoto ask me to update and all my pictures disappeared. HELP!

    I had iPhoto ask me to update and all my pictures disappeared. HELP!  I am desperate,  Thank you, Lindsay

    We need to know more to be able to help, Lindsay.
    Did you update to iPhoto 9.6?
    And the photos vanished after you upgraded the iPhoto Library?
    Did iPhoto crash during the upgrade?
    Where is your iPhoto Library stored? Is it on your system drive in your Pictures folder or do you keep the iPhoto library on an external disk?
    If the iPhoto Library is on your system drive in your Pictures folder, select the iPhoto Library in the Finder, ctrl-click or right-click it and select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu. A Finder window will open, showing you, what is there inside your iPhoto Library.
    Do you see folders "Masters" and "Old Masters"?  If there is a folder "Old Masters", look inside. Are there any photos inside?

  • HT4623 The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying the picture: iTunes and a USB plug. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

    The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying a picture iTunes logo and a USB plug and black backgraound. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, Lawrence.
    I've tried http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and other suggestions first, which turned out unrelated.
    I've finally fixed the issue by plugging the cable in the USB 3 ports in the back of PC instead of the ports in the front, the iTunes saw the phohe and the recovery started automatically.
    In the hindsight, I realized that the either the required prerequisite iTunes 11.1.5.5 update installed a USB driver incompatible with my PC's front side USB ports that I always used for my iPhone syncing prior or it was always
    incompatible, but worked in all modes except the recovery.

    If you have a backup of your iPhone on either iCloud or iTunes from the time when those photos were on the Camera Roll, you can restore from that backup and recover those photos. Please use the following article for information on restoring from backups.
