I have a Mac OS X 10.6.8 with I photo 11' version 9.2.3 . I open Iphoto and there is nothing there. It looks like it is trying to load.but I can not see the pictures at all. I am not that tech saavy I did the recent update but still nothing.
Please help
iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
What exactly do you see? A Little spinner?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Thanks Terence..
I was able to import the couple of photos to a new library.
At the risk of sounding utterly daft.. do I just select all my pics to this new library?
When searching for pics , my original I photo library was whited out..
would you suggest copying the whole library then deleting the original?
That was a test.
Back to the main library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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. .
