When i connected my camera my i photo library had disappeared

I connected my camera to my mac yesterday and it said my iphoto library had not been set up. I have been using it for years and has about 1000 pictures in it. My 4 yr old uses the computer but he cant put it in the recycle bin. any ideas?

You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum. You can locate it by clicking on Apple Support Communities then using the search by typing iPhoto.

I have a macbookpro. when I connect any camera to the mac it does not show as a device. How do I load my pictures to either iPhoto or Aperture? It worked before but just stopped working. Any suggestions?

I have a macbookpro. I use Aperture and Iphoto. When I connect any camera to the Mac it does not open it as a device in Iphoto, Aperture or in Finder. It use to work but just stopped. Any sugestions?

Here is the full story. It may be long so please bear with me. I take a lot of pictures and movies. Since I have over 30,000 pictures I decided to place the Iphoto library on an external drive to save space on my internal drive since ot was getting very full. After I did that it worked fine for a while. Then one day I could not open the Iphoto library. Since I was overseas at the time I brought it to the IStudio ( not an Istore) overseas. They said to rebuild the library and they would do that for me. It took all day since I had so many pictures. When they called me and told me it was ready, I went to pick it up. They started to show me the new library. It crashed again. Not knowing how to fix this at the ISudio, they installed Aperture and imported the Iphoto library. This worked fine for a short time.When back in the states, it crashed again just like Iphoto. I took it to the IStore. They did not know why the overseas Istudio did what they did what they did and rebuilt my aperture library. Again it worked fine. Now that I am overseas again. It crashed again. However, I concluded that the reason for these crashes is becuase I have the file on an external drive that derives its power from the Mac and not by itself. When I use it and stop for a while the MAC will go to sleep and this cuases the external drive to shut down. This then causes the library to have inconsistancies. Therefore, when it happened this time I tried to repair the library and after 36 hours it would close down Aperture. Therefore I decided to rebuild the library. That did not work either. So I tried opening the Aperture library with Iphoto. That seemed like it was going to work but after importing half of the 30,000 plus pictures. I photo shut down. I then made a new aperture libary and erged the old library with it. This worked. I now have an aperture library that works. However, when I plug my camera into the MAC nothing happens. The camera does not show up in devices in either Aperture, I photo nor in Finder. The USB port and cord I use works fine becuase I can read my external hard drives fine. I checked as SIG suggested in this thread and everything is set to open aperture when the camera is connected.
I have the newest OS version 10. 7. 2 and the computer frequently updates all my programs. I have not installed any ne software lately. The problem happens both if I am on battery or plugged in. Just before I came overseas the IStore replaced the Battery. I can go back to the IStudio here overseas but the last time I was there and told them about the problem ( I did not have my computer with me) they did not impress me with their wisdom. I will be back in that city in a month and can go there if need be. Thanks for all the help so far. God bless.

Dude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again

When I connect my camera to my Airbook - the camera does not show up in iPhoto.

Something is not working - you need to fix it
with no mind readers here it is important to have some information
What version of iPhoto?
What camera?
Has it ever worked?
Does it work with image capture?
Have you tried a card reader?
Any otther info?
Or would you like some random guesses

Iphoto loads when i connect my camera, then sits there looking at me :)

Hi everyone - I have a Fuji finepix S5500 and on my old Ibook or mac mini (iphoto5) when i connected the camera iphoto loaded and prompted me to import.. now with this new mac and Iphoto6 wehn i connect the camera it loads Iphoto, shows a new drive on the decktop but Iphoto does nothing, I have to manuallt tell it to import and from where..
when first ran it asked if i wanted to auto import and i said yes..
any ideas??
the only thing i can think of is that being an Intel system I cannot run flip4mac, the program that allowed me to access the movies from the camera, and as such Iphoto freaks out at the site of movies it doesnt know..
now another member on these forums told me how to get flip4mac working on an intel system but it made finder crash when trying to browse a directory with these movies so i removed it..
so might there be another solution?
Thanks
Richard

Solution - Cleared the AVI files from the camera and left only pictures, now everything happy..
Thanks anyway

PMHome shows when I connect my cam to computer

reloaded windows7 after windows 10 when i connect the cam to computer pmhome shows does not mention HD CX 240 like before

Hi Ian1946,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
I would recommend running the PMH Initialization tool to restore the PlayMemories Home to its initial settings. Also, check the USB Connect Setting of the camcorder itself. Set the USB setting to MTP/PTP modebefore connecting the camera to the computer.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, I suggest uninstalling and reinstalling PMH then restarting your computer before connecting the camera.
For further assistance, we recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
I don't want to disable portrait mode.
Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

When I open iPhoto this appears- "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" I have not used iPhoto before on this computer. I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager as suggested but nothing happened. What should I do?

I think the usual advice is to use the Rebuild command in Library Manager.

I get this message when I try to open iphoto: Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable. What can I do?

Since iso8.2 update camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my iPad

Since the ISO8.2 update the camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my photos app on my iPad 2 anyone else suffered the same problem and how do I get them back?

Hey carolfromdaventry,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some great information any questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8:
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
Where can I find the Camera Roll?
The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Suddenly iphoto freezes and stops responding when I connect my cameras to download both photos and video. I've never had a problem downloading from these cameras before today. I have both a Nikon D700(SLR) and Kodak HD Zi8(pocket camecorder).What to do?

I've tried checking for updates (none necessary), running v 9.1.5
Everytime I open it and connect a camera I have to force quit because it stops responding and won't upload.
It's uploaded from both these cameras before with no problem.
How can I fix this?

As a Test:
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?

Where do photos go when you connect your camera to your iMac?

For a while, I had them sent to Dropbox, but I finally stopped that. Where should I look for them in the absence of Dropbox?

If there had been an EDIT button, I would have deleted this question. I was using a BRAND NEW hub when I posted it, but when I plugged my camera directly into the computers USB port, the process went as smoothly as it's supposed to. It went to IMAGE CAPTURE, which is where I suppose it belongs. However, this experience reminds me of my difficulties with hubs. Aren't there any reliable ones? The iMac's four USB ports aren't enough, but I haven't yet had a hub that lasted for any length of time. Do you have to buy the most expensive models in the market/

How to disable iPhoto from starting up when I connect a camera?

I don't use iPhoto, but annoyingly, it starts itself every time I connect my camera to my iMac. How do I disable this? There seems to be nothing in "Preferences".
I have iPhoto 4. One of the gripes that I have, and a reason I don't use or update iPhoto, is that it seems to be impossible to upload just SOME of the photos in my camera. It's all or nothing. Does anyone know if later versions of iPhoto have fixed this?

Odd because when I went to the apple store to talk to their "genius bar" when I had a problem with my laptop they said " you can't change that option"i was like...are you kidding me???? So after all this time I finally find this option in the apple forums. T hank you guys this really helped me. I was sick and tired of it starting up every time i connect my digi cam or iphone.
