Where are my photos after the upgrade?

I see the same question over and over but not the solution. I upgraded my to osx lion a couple of weeks ago. No problem. I have used iphoto. Not a problem. I wanted to grab a photo from the library tonight. Went into Iphoto, it prompted me to upgrade and requested I upgrade my library. It will take about an hour. Clicked on the button and there is nothing there. It didn't take an hour. Just disappeared. Poof! I am finding thumbnails of faces in finder but can't find photos although havent looked in every folder. I am sure it would have taken more time to delete 10,000 photos.
Help. I need a fix for this.
Sound like some others do. I tried the option and command open iphoto. It looks like a brand new version without any picture library.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

The MSS ECM FPM Steps are not working after the upgrade

Hi all,
The MSS ECM FPM Steps are not working after the upgrade. We use Java Webdynpro and MSS ECM (SP17), version 603.
On cliking the FPM steps, nothing is happening, however we can navigate using the buttons.
But this functionality was working before the upgrade.
Please let me know what should I do.
Thanks,

Where are my photos after upgrade to Itunes 7

I have a video ipod with photos stored on it. I just upgraded to itunes 7 on September 11, 2007, sync'd ipod to computer. All music library and videos are OK but all my photos disappeared from my ipod.
I selected Ipod, photos tab, then Adobe Photo Album (I have version 2.0), selected sync. Still no photos transferred to ipod. Need assistance

OK, tried the reset and it seems to have cleared up some problems; however, the picture problem remains.
Maybe there is something further we could do in settings? My wife uses the iPad as her constant companion and likes to take screen shots (pictures) of recipes and such. She keeps them in albums. Before the update to iOS 7 they all displayed correctly regardless of physical machine orientation. Now, post update, when in landscape mode, which she uses 99.9% of the time, her pics do do fully display. By physically rotating the machine, they will appear correctly. We have noticed that there is a new "function" in edit pics for "aspect ratio."
Should we be using this? If so, she'll have to edit a very large number of pics. So I'm wondering if we're missing some new setting. BTW- this display problem also occurs with pics taken with the camera as well.

Where are my photos after 10.5- 10.6 upgrade?

I'm hoping you can save my holiday! I've upgraded to Snow Leopard and am having difficult rebuilding my iPhoto library.
I did a clean install of 10.6 with my HD backed up on a Time Capsule. I now have "deleted user" (which assume is my old profile of 10.5) folder but can't find my old photo library.
What is the best way to import my old photo library?
Thanks in advance.

You don't import an iPhoto Library. You copy it back from your Back Up to the Pictures Folder and then launch iPhoto. That's it.

Where are my photos after 7.1.4 update?

Ok, so I just did the 7.1.4 update and was prompted to update thumbnails or something similar to that. After doing this I no longer have any events or photos--nothing--completely blank.
I attempted to import to the library again from my pictures folder. this ran for a while until I ran out of hard disk space. So now my situation is that out of my original 5000 or so photos, only about 600 are now visible within iphoto, but after checking on the "iphoto Library" file, it is about 18GB. So somewhere in that file is all my photos, but I can't get to them.
Can anybody tell me how I can view/access all of the photos again?

mr ting
1. First Priority is to make hard disk space. Mac Os X needs about 10 gigs of HD space to function normally. The OS uses this space for normal operations - virtual memory, temporary file and so on. Without this space the Mac becomes slow, unstable and apps will crash. The risk of data corruption is greatly increased.
I attempted to import to the library again from my pictures folder.
Did you create a new library to do this? Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.
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. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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 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.

Where are my photos after installing ios8?

I installed iOS8 on my iPhone 5s and after that I only have 19 of well over 100 photos. I still have them on my iPad and Mac, but only the most recent 19 appear on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

Help!! Where are my notes after the back up of N70

Hello,
I've done a back up (choosing "Notes" in the options) of my Nokia N70 with Nokia PC Suit 7 to Upload the phone. After it, I put the back up inside the phone again and everything is right but there ARE NO NOTES!!
They were really important for me... Is it possible to find my Notes again??
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've done it 3 times.. nothing happened.
back up "Register: Data e ora: 12/04/2010 17:20
Non riversible error during the proces. The files weren't put on the phone."
thank you very much. Really.
And I've learnt today: NEVER UPLOAD N70 AGAIN...

Where are my photos after reinstall

Did a reinstall and a utility new image, found most of my stuff but can't find the old iPhoto or the pictures that used to be in it. Any ideas on where they might be?

I did an Archive and Install. I didn't erase the drive.
Then iPhoto is still where ever it was before. By default that’s your Pictures Folder.
I did a "new image from folder" afterwards and I've been able to get all my e-mail and favorites and addresses etc. but when I look for "picture" or even iPhoto itself in that dmg I can't see anything.
I’m just not sure why you made a disk image afterwards, nor what folder you made an image of, nor why you expect to find your pictures there.
Some questions:
Have you ever moved your iPhoto Library?
Do you have a Folder called ‘Previous System Folder’ now, and have you looked in there?
Did you back up before installing?

I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I open my i photo library there are no pictures. The message is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.Scared to hit upgrade!!!

I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I opened i photo, it says the photo livrary needs to be upgraded to work with this version of I photo. Where are my pictures? The message is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of Iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete". I'm scared to upgrade!! Does this mean my photos can't be read once I upgrade? Where are my pictures?

First have you backed up your computer, if you have and your iPhoto library is in the back up you have nothing to be concerned about. If you are not using at least Time Machine to back up your system then you should be concerned because well frankly that is simply bad computing practice and you risking all of your data.
As for the message you received all that means is your system was using an earlier version of iPhoto with the version of OS X you previously had installed and now that you have updated to 10.9.2 (Mavericks) your version of iPhoto has also upgraded and needs to get ready to import all of your pictures. If you have backup then you should be confident the upgrade will go through smoothly, Apple generally has very good instructions and will not give bad advice, second guessing them may be cautious but is generally unnecessary.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and now don't have access to iphoto. I cannot find my iphoto library to back the photos up before upgrading the iphoto but see the photos when I try to change screensaver? Where are my photos so I can back them up?

The iPhoto library should be in your user folder/Pictures unless it was moved.

I get a message that my photo library needs to be upgraded and my photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. I don't dare do anything. Please help

I keep getting a message when I try to open iphoto that says that my photo library needs to be upgraded and my library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. What do I do??

Depends - you first off need to suypply us with information since we only know what you tell us
Like what version of iPhoto are you using? Have you recently installed any iPhoto (or iLife) updates or upgrades? Do you plan to use this iPhoto library with two or more different versions of iPhoto (no possible so stop now if you do)? Where is your iPhoto library?
Anything else that you can tell us that might let us give you a good answer to your question

Hi why are my photos after downloading twice ,once in photo library and once in a file with the date why cant i delete a file its an iphone 4s please help

why are my photos after downloadon twice one as photo library the other as a file with date how can i delete one file same pics

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Faces in Photos showed up blank after the upgrades

Faces in Photos showed up blank after the upgrades (no labeled faces at all) with the suggested faces mostly full of 100's of blank white circles. I used to have about 50 faces labeled with about 2500 photos. Now I have no labeled faces on top of page (completely blank) and only 9 face suggestions on the bottom. Photos also runs very slowly compared to iPhoto. I tried re-installing and re-upgrading and have gotten the same results. I'm using a Mac Pro (2009), OS 10.10.3, 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC, 7 GB storage. Any help will be appreciated and even if I have to delete the Face's database and start all over, where do I find that database or file to delete?

1. Copy and paste is a very good way of moving chunks of text around, however, it's not really good for moving a Library containing many thousands of files. Drag and Drop is rather more reliable.
it comes up with a black circle and a "!" image.
2. The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

Where are my photos? just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

You can't open your backups directly with apps.
But you can see some types of files in your backups. If you're still on Snow Leopard (or Lion with iPhoto '09 or earlier), see the gray box at the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.
If you're on Lion with iPhoto '11, you can use the Finder to see the iPhoto library, per the beginning of that same link. All you can see there is the library and size.
