iphoto - all photos disappear? - kathy m - 09-29-2010 anyone have this happen? iphoto mssg pop-up says "your thumbnails need updating". you click "ok" and all your photos are gone? i can't restore them, either. anyone know what to do? Re: iphoto - all photos disappear? - weapon - 09-29-2010 I lost all my photos too. Iphoto is unstable as hell. I can see my library and it says 10GB but when I rebuild it and such, it still opens up with only one photo. It sucks. I have given up on it completely. Re: iphoto - all photos disappear? - dreed2 - 09-29-2010 Try these suggestions: http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2145547 Re: iphoto - all photos disappear? - The UnDoug - 09-29-2010 You know, you can right click on the iPhoto file (forget which one exactly) and choose to open package, or some-such, and you should see all the photos and other files. Assuming they are there, make a back-up (if you don't have one), and then try re-importing them (start with a small group). If that works, then import them all. Re: iphoto - all photos disappear? - weapon - 09-29-2010 Will try the manager. undoug - Need to know what file to right click on before I can proceed. I have most of my photos backed up but I am missing some videos that I had not made copies of yet.

Re: iphoto - all photos disappear? - jdc - 09-30-2010 iPhoto has always been solid for me. 19000 photos, plenty of videos. 69 gigs. Smart Albums make it rock even more. Re: iphoto - all photos disappear? - weapon - 09-30-2010 Found the file. Thanks. iPhoto Library Manager worked great. Everything was restored. Wonder how it got messed up in the first place? |
