Hi,
I've just had to restore my entire system after a hard drive replacement.
Returned all my music, photos, documents etc back into the computer but none of my photos are in iphoto.
Why is this and how do i correct it?
Thanks.
iMac (20-inch Late 2006), Mac OS X (10.6.8), 4 GB RAM, ILife '11
Providing your system is running the same level OS as iPhoto was last opened in:
Try
iPhoto Rebuild
HI,
That won't work as i have no photos when i open up iphoto.
I restored my entire iphoto library (all 166GB of it) from Time Machine, and it put it in the 'pictures' folder on my drive but whn i open iphoto the picture and videos aren't there.
It worked fine with itunes.
?
What happens when you double-click the iPhoto Library file in Pictures?
That won't work
Yes it will.
Unlike most other TM restores, with iPhoto it is different. Did you restore your photos from within the iPhoto application, File > Browse Backups and then select Time Machine?
Linc, saying that will work, doesn't make it work.I tried no rebuild but as there are no photos in iphoto it can't rebuild.
When i double click the iphoto loibrary i go into the file where it has other folders named original, modified, recovered etc.
I've tried just dragging thephotos to the pictures folder, that didn't work.
I've tried selecting the pictures folder, then entering time machine and selecting the iphoto library and pressing restore, that did no work.
I've tried entering time machine, right clicking the iphoto library and selecting restore to picutes folder, that didn''t work either.
I've now done a full restore from TM and everything is where it should be except my photos. They are in the pictures folder but are not in iphoto.
Scavenge the library with iPhoto Library Manager independently of iPhoto (File ▹ Rebuild). Books, calendars, and slideshows won't be preserved.
Why can't i view my photos in iPhoto after a time machine restore?
