When I merge events on iPhoto, my pictures disappear and I no longer have them. How can I get them back?

Plese help me get back my photos

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.

  • When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • I had iphoto downloaded on my computer and now it's gone? how can I get it back?

    I used to have Iphoto on my mac and now it's gone?  How do I get it back or do I have to purchase it ?  thank you....

    Where have you looked for iPhoto?  Is it gone from your Dock or the applications folder?
    Have you searched with Spotlight? Enter iPhoto into the searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen and then look, if it will be listed in the "Applications" section of the list.
    What happenend, before iPhoto vanished? Did you upgrade any software?

    When you press properties then change icon, instead of the 3 firefox ones you normally see, it give me the IE ones, how can i get the firefox ones back, Firefox beta 4 is my default.

    Click Properties > Change icon > Browse > (the folder where you install your Firefox, usually in Drive C:) > Firefox.exe
    The 3 Firefox ones you normally see should be listed.

  • I am using iPhoto 9.  My map in places quit showing. How can I get it back?

    I am using iPhoto 09.  the map feature on places quit showing up in my application.  Does anyone have an idea how to get the map feature back?

    just got off the phone with Apple - last night 30 mins & today 2 hrs.  I had the problem on my i-mac and then check my wife's macbook both with OS LION.  It appears that the files in the Cookies folder needed to be deleted to fix the problem.  No other files needed to be deleted in any other folders.  Other postings have indicated they needed to be.  But I only deleted the 4 files in the Cookies folder on my wifes Macbook & that took care of the problem.

  • When updating or purchasing an iOS app a dialog will appear stating this app and over ten others cannot be downloaded and then disappear and allow me to continue. How can I get this dialog to cease?

    A dialog will continue to appear on both my iPhone 4 and iPad (1st Gen) when downloading an update or purchasing a new app from the iOS app store. The dialog stats that "Example app and 11 others could not be downloaded" and then once I tap "Ok" it will allow me to continue updating or purchasing all applications including the example app listed. My iTunes Store (Apple ID) account is fine and I've tried resetting and restarting but not restoring. I'd like to resolve the issue without a restore if possible. I'd like to get the dialog to cease. As I mentioned it is not tied to one device but my account when updating or purchasing applications.

  • My phone was restored and when it was started the backup was no selected. Now it's gone. How can I get that back?

    My iPhone was restored but the backup with all of my photos etc was not selected and now that backup is gone from my choices. How do I get that back?

    But the only iPhone backup was the one with nothing included. It does not have my backup from my iPhone that was backed up right before the reset. Now it is gone and the only iPhone available is the current one missing everything.

  • When I open up iphoto and click on the events tab then double click on an event, it used to show minis of all the photos in that event.  Now it shows only one photo at a time.  How do I get it back? Can you help?

    On the bottom bar of the window (on the left iPhoto 11, on the right in other versions) note the slider. Drag it left.

  • I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures.  It took the entire iPhoto Library.  Now I can't use it, and I cannot open it.  How do I get it back to just iPhoto?

    I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures, but the entire iPhoto Library moved.
    I now cannot open iPhoto.  How can I get it back?

    A folder named Library popped up in Pictures.  I didn't want the entire Library, just the one album.
    When I open the Library Folder in Pictures, I get sub folders dated with years.
    When I open the subfolders, I just keep getting more folders.
    This looks like you were viewing your iPhoto Library; the contents of the Masters folder. Is your original iPhoto library still there?
    Where do you keep your iPhoto library? In the default location in your "Pictures" folder?

    Hey Mrlablack,
    Since you had already purchased iPhoto, you should be able to redownload it. To download previous purchases on a computer, your computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that was used for the original purchase. For more information on the steps to reinstall purchased apps, check here:
    Mac App Store: Buy, download, and install apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11493
    View and reinstall purchased apps
    To view a list of all purchased apps, click Purchases in the toolbar.
    To install an app, click the Install button for the app in the Purchases list.
    To hide a purchased app in the Purchases list, hold down the Control key, click the app you want to hide, and then choose Hide Purchase.
    To view hidden apps, choose Store > View My Account, enter your Apple ID and password, click View Account, and then click View Hidden Purchases. To show a hidden app in the purchased apps list, click its Unhide button.
    All the best,
    David

  • Siri says she can't read my email from the iphone5s lock screen when I'm using the standard headphones, but I could do that on 4s. How can I get my 5s to do that?

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

  • My iphoto library has disappeared. How can I get it back?

    My iphoto library has disappeared. How can I get it back?

    I'm very new to this sort of thing, so bear with me.  I had my computer in to the Apple store on Jan 10th, & they replaced Leopard with Snow leopard because of problems.  I have iphoto 8.
    This morning opening my computer a picture briefly appreared that I had saved to iphoto. I decided to place it in its correct event box, and  ! sign appeared.  Upon opening iphoto, I found a blank.  I've not backed up my files.  I've looked everywhere on the system, including Trash, applications, Pictures, all my document files.  
    Also I had 2 icons  of iphoto on my desktop because it had disappeared 2 years ago & came back some months later.  Two days ago I decided to clean up my desktop & moved the icons to the pIcture  file and a document file.  I don't know whether this triggered the disappearance. The main icon is still in the dock.
    Does this help?

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    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.
