Where did my wedding photos go? Vanished when I split even - HELP!

I split an event in order to have enough room to burn photos on a CD ....when I went back to the split event of the photos I did not copy, the photo's were gone! The thumbnails were missing and the photos were missing. I see a gray square were the thumbnails should be and when I enlarge I see a black and white !.
I rebuilt the photo library several times and also rebuilt it through iphoto library manager....the photo's still have not appeared.
Where did they go?

How did you split the Event? Did you do it using iPhoto for from the Finder? If the latter then that's why you're getting the "!", a sign that iPhoto has lost the file path to the original files.
You may have to result to the following:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
Then with some manipulating you might be able to get the original library back.
1 - open the original library and delete all of the "problem" photos by dragging them to iPhoto's trash and emptying it. Keep it to batches of 100 or less.
2 - open the new library, locate the "missing" photos and export to folders on the Desktop.
3 - open the original library and import the folders with the "missing" photos. '
Hopefully this will keep your organization for the library, keywords, etc. and recover those missing photos.

  • Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
    Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
    A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
    or
    B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
    Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
    Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
    Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
    Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
    For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
    Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

  • Where did my I photo library go?  Just upgraded to Leopard on a new Imac

    Where did my iPhoto Library go? I just upgraded to Leopard and went to iPhoto and there is nothing there. I'm on a 2.8 Gh Imac and did a software migration before loading Leopard. When I click media in any of the iWork suite, nothing comes up in the media inspectors. Did I lose them all?

    HI TD - thanks for your response.
    I did the firewire migration from the old imac G5 in Tiger. Then I loaded Leopard. My photos folder is empty on this new one. I've been thinking of uploading from the old computer before giving it over to my husband. But, if there's another way to find those photos on this iMac, that would be great.
    (I had a similar dilemma with iTunes because I didn't know the music wouldn't import on it's own and found a way to make that happen, so I'm assuming that I can do the same with iPhoto, if I can find where the files are!)

  • I got the new 5S - but where did my new photos go?

    before I restored all my old info from my 4 to the new 5S (photos, apps etc) I used the phone to take photos and text - now that I've restored it all the new photos I took are gone. Where can I find them?

    When you restored the iPhone 5s with the iPhone 4 backup, yes it wiped out whatever was already there.  That's what a restore does - it replaces everything with the contents of the backup (it does NOT append the backup contents, it uses them to replace what is there).
    So, unless you had backed up the iPhone 5s or copied those photo's to your computer's photo application, they are gone.

  • Where did the time zone selection go when making an event in Calendar?

    So in iOS5 and iOS6 there was an option to select the time zone the event was going to be in when creating it in the Calendar app.
    Now in iOS7 it appears it is no longer there unless you turn time zone support ON.
    I want to be able to have time zone support OFF like I had in iOS5 and 6 and still have the time zone selection option when creating events.
    I'm at a loss for why this option was removed. Is there any way to get this back? My coworkers are having issues creating meeting events when out on the road and figuring out the right time zone +/- when moving between time zones.

    You can middle-click a tab with the mouse scroll wheel to close that tab.
    Did you try Save mode to be sure that it is not caused by an extension or theme?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Where did the iPod shortcut button go when you double click the home button and scroll to the left?

    After upgrading to iOS 4.3.2 I have noticed that when I double click the home button the multitasking tray pops up when you scroll to the left the ipod shortcut is no longer there, it has been replaced by a safari shortcut. Is this right??

    Reset
    Have you tried rebooting the device? Hold down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. If this fails, connect it to a power source and try again holding them for at least 20 seconds.
    Reset Home Screen
    Reset All Settings
    Reset all settings on Device. On your Device, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset All Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and Appleid login information, but can result in a more stable function. On the final screen you will restore your backup or “Setup as new device” to keep current info intact.

  • Where did my contacts phone numbers go when i backed up to the cloud?

    When I backed up my iphone to the cloud my contacts phone numbers disappeared from my phone and the cloud.
    Can anyone help?

    Is back up and sync the same thing?
    No. Syncing transfers iTunes content to your devices. Backing up stores all data (minus iTunes content) that you have on your phone, and can be loaded onto a different device or reloaded onto an existing device.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Let the device power down and back up. Go through the setup screen and DO NOT select restore from iTunes backup. Instead, choose iCloud backup, sign in with your Apple ID and select the correct backup.

  • Where did the mysterious photos come from?

    I've just been browsing my photos on iPhone 4S and noticed there are two photos that I dont remember I was taking (it's two weeks old so i would remember) and no one else was using my phone. The next strange thing is that one of the photos is 640x480 and I dont know if iPhone is even able to take photos in such bad quality.
    Any idea how it could get there? It's kinda scary.

    Well, mystery solved. I received this image by some anonymous WhatsApp user. Thanks

  • Where did second streaming photos come from and how do I get rid of it?

    I used to take pictures and videos that later could've been found under photos app. Now there are two choices in the photo app. One I think says streaming. I cannot delete anything there and the are even pictures of my home page. It's useless to me, so how do I get rid of it and only have one place to view the pictures and videos taken?  Thanks!

    If you what to keep your pics in the photo app, just turn off photo stream.
    Settings - icloud - photo stream - off.

  • I updated to OS8 but they've changed how the photos are organized.  Where are my old photos?

    With the new organization of the photos under OS8, it takes forever to find one you're looking for.  And the older files don't seem to be around anymore.  Is there a way to reorganize the photos?  And where did the older photos go on the phone?  Thanks.

  • When I open iPhoto its asks me what photo library I want to use.  I already have a photo library that i've been using for 2 years, where did it go? and why am I being asked now to choose a library or "create new" what happened to all my photos?

    When I open iPhoto it asks me to choose a photo library.  I already have a libary with photos and events in it that I've been using for 2 years.  Where did it go?  What happened to all my photos

    We have no way of knowing what goes on on your machine. All we can tell is that your iPhoto library is missing and iPhoto can't find it. If you can't find then I the only thing you can do is restore from your Back Up.

  • I updated my iPhone 4S to the iOS 5.1 software last Friday.  I noticed on Saturday that only the photos I had taken with my 4S were gone.  Where did they go when I syned my phone for the software update?

    I updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 5.1 last Friday.  I noticed the next day that the pictures that I had taken with only this phone were gone from my photos.  I still have over 1600 pictures on my phone that are there, only the ones taken from this device are missing.  Where did they go when I syned my phone?  I can't find them in my iTunes.

    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly, particularly before any update, restore, etc.
    If for some reason you have failed to do this, tehn they are very likely gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.
