Oct 1, 2014 6:32 PM in response to markcandowby LarryHN,a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
You can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
If that does not work then you will need to try recovery software like media recover - do not use your me more card again before you resolve this or you will wipe out some or all of the recoverable photos

Mar 10, 2015 7:51 AM in response to LarryHNby ejacobson85,Thanks for the tip. That just saved me. I usually don't hit "delete after import", but for some reason I did this time and of course this particular time, iPhoto crashed and could then only see one of the two video files I had imported. Holding command + option while launching iPhoto and then having it re-index the library got it to find the file it lost. Thanks for this VERY helpful tip!
