Where are my pictures and what's wrong with iPhoto??

Hello Apple Support Community!
Since I have updated iPhoto a few weeks ago, it didn't work right anymore.
Everytime I started it, I had to repair the whole libary.
Because I was tired of waiting several hours I didn't use it until now.
Today I wanted to update my pictures and sync it with my iPhone but iPhoto tells
me that it may be used by another programm (I don't think so) or can't be read anymore.
I looked up the iPhoto libary and opend it to see if my pics are still there (Information tells me
that the size is about 25GB) but there is no folder called "originals" and there isn't a single picture in it!!
I have no copies of the pictures and I would be very sad if they were lost...
I'm looking foward to receive your support and your ideas!
Sincerely,
Lukas

we actually need details to help
- all taps are grey, so I can't open "about iPhoto" but the app store tells me that iPhoto 9.5.1 is installed
No place did I suggest opening "about iPhoto"  what I ask you to do was
look in the Applications folder and select the iPhoto application - get info - what version so you have on your computer?
Looking in the App store is not useful - we know that you have a problem and one possibility is that the App store is confused about what you have so you need to provide the requested information following the directions given
and I have no idea in the wrold what you have done or have - first you say that when you try to rebuild the iPhoto library you get
Ad 3) I already tried to do it but the programm tells me that it will start when a libary is available because there is a time machine backup running (I never activated time machine)
Then you say
- done, but nothing new happened
What does that mean - immediately after restarting when you
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database
what exactly does happen? Are you saying that you get the message that TM is backing up? Or are you saying that the rebuild does not help? Or are you saying something else?
Remember we can not see you or your computer and to help you you need to follow instructions and provide revenant detailed accurate reports to us
- i found a lot of pictures of the face recognition service of iPhoto!

Again you are mucking around inside the iPhoto library - I strongly suggest tha tyou STOP doing this
again it is critical that you stop doing this as I previously said
4 - Stay out of the iPhoto library unless specifically directed by an expert to do things in it - there are no user servicable parts in it and it is extremely easy to make a mistake and deestroy it and lose data

  • IBook 700MHz powers on only sometimes - why and what's wrong with it?

    My daughter owns an iBook 700MHz with Combo drive and 640MB RAM. It's 3yr Apple warranty ran out in Aug 2005.
    Her iBook has started to play up as it will not boot up most times when the power button is pressed. Every now and then it does which obviously makes her iBook unuseable. This is true whether the power plug is connected or not. The iBook battery is in good shape and charges up AOK.
    I want to repair this iBook but am at a loss as to what parts to order. So if anyone knows this to be a common problem could they post back what this problem is and what parts I need to order to make good on the repairs. I'm not bothered about getting inside of the iBook as I've replaced my son's iBook HD a few months back.
    Thanks for any insights and feedback.

    This may be a longshot, but perhaps Reseting the Power Management Unit will solve the problem. The KB article notes
    Over time, the settings in the Power Manager may become unusable, which can result in operational anomalies with the computer. Examples include not turning on, not waking from sleep, not charging the battery, or not seeing the AC Adapter, among others.
    Good Luck.

  • IOS5, WHERE ARE MY PICTURES AND VIDEOS? i take pictures but it says "there's no photos"

  • What's wrong with iPhoto?

    Up until recently, when editing photos, the photo would black out when I try to edit.
    I have a Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.4
    iphoto version 9.3 although continually updated.
    I am working with JPEGs and RAW photos and sometimes I am experiencing "technical difficulties"
    1. When I select a photo to edit, as soon as I click on an editing selection (QUICK FIX, EFFECTS, ADJUST, or even BOOST, SHADOW) the photo disappears. Now I can go back to the album and re-select the same photo that disappeared and it was edited. So what I am saying is that I cannot watch the process of my photos getting edited. This never has happened before.
    PLEASE HELP!!
    thank you for your time :-)

    I am going to try this solution as well. My iPhoto (9.3, running Lion OS 10.7.4 on Intel based iMac) gave me the following message (when i tried to download a photo from Facebook without having iPhoto already open):
    "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. 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."
    At that time i opted to try to "Quit" doing that upgrade due to the fact I was not going to be available to monitor such an upgrade and that is when iPhoto froze, the iPhoto window is gray, white pinwheel spinning in the center, will not shut down, cannot obtain a Force Quit in any way, shape or form. The initial Upgrade window will not close is is always at the forefront of any open windows. Am very reluctant to shut down the computer as i have read in other discussions when this happens the iPhoto app will not open or if it does there are no photos in the person's library. I sure hope this option works. I do have external Time Machine back up of my iMac, hoping i may recover my photos from that source if this Alt key launch does not offer me that library access again. Ugh.
    Thank you for your suggestions. Hope this works!

  • Lost all pictures in iPhoto.....where are the pictures?

    My MacBook is new to me and I have put hundreds of pictures in iPhoto.   I opened my computer one day and all photos in iPhoto are gone.    Where are the picture and how are they returned to iPhoto?

    Sorry with that amount of information no one can even guess
    What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? what happens when you launch iPhoto? What changes did you make just before this occured - new software - disk clean up ???

    hi,
    but the upper limit is changing everytime you call the function recursively
    so there should not be any problem(i suppose)
    my intension is to get the unmatched elements of the two vectors
    suggest me changes and thanks in advancce
    ashok
    The problems comes from the fact that you remove
    elements for a Vector while iterating in a loop where
    the upper limit as been set to the initial size of the
    Vector.
    You should use so while loops with flexible stop
    conditions that would work when the size of the Vector
    changes.
    Finally: why don't you use Vector.equals() ?

  • What is wrong with GridBagLayout?

    My code below behaves unexpectedly. If the TextField in the p2
    panel is changed to p1t1 instead of p1t1, the output is shown of
    only two panels, p1 and p3. p2 is missing. But if the TextField
    in p2 is set to be p2t1, then all p1, p2, and p3 panels are shown.
    So what is wrong with p2 having a TextField of p1t1?
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import java.applet.Applet;
    public class graphicTGridBag extends Applet
    private Panel p1, p3, bigP, p2;
    private TextField p1t1, p2t1, p3t1;
    private gPanel gp;
    private TextArea ta;
    public void init()
    initPanel();
    setup();
    setupAllPanel();
    public void initPanel()
    p1 = new Panel();
    p2 = new Panel();
    p3 = new Panel();
    p1t1 = new TextField("p1t1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
    p2t1 = new TextField("p2t1 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz");
    p3t1 = new TextField("p3t1 yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy");
    bigP = new Panel();
    bigP.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
    gp = new gPanel();
    public void setup()
    p1.add(p1t1);
    p2.add(p2t1); //if p2t1 is replaced by p1t1, it won't work, why?
    p3.add(p3t1);
    public void setupAllPanel()
    GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
    c.weightx = 100;
    c.weighty = 100;
    c.gridwidth = 1;
    c.gridheight = 1;
    c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
    c.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER;
    c.gridx = 0;
    c.gridy = 0;
    ((GridBagLayout)bigP.getLayout()).setConstraints(p1, c);
    bigP.add(p1, c);
    c.gridx = 0;
    c.gridy = 1;
    c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
    ((GridBagLayout)bigP.getLayout()).setConstraints(p2, c);
    bigP.add(p2, c);
    c.gridx = 0;
    c.gridy = 2;
    c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
    ((GridBagLayout)bigP.getLayout()).setConstraints(p3, c);
    bigP.add(p3, c);
    this.add(bigP);
    Please help. Thanks.

    You must mean that A TextField can only be added to one
    Panel. Thanks.

  • I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

  • What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?

    What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?
    Maybe this is relevant: I bought iphoto from the German apple store but I now live in Italy. I have tried German credit card with German invoicing address and Italian shipping address. And I have tried Italian credit card with Italian invoicing address and Italian shipping address. The phenomenon is the same: shipping address appears in red and I am asked to fill in the mandatory fields (which turn red whatever I enter).

    KarinavD,
    what is the setting for the Print Products Store in the Advanced Tab of the iPhoto Preferences?
    The country you select there has to match the billing address. And your billing address should match the country of your AppleID and credit card used with the AppleID.

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).
