iphoto 9.6 shows zero pictures

I’ve been struggling with iphoto for several months. When I open iphoto, it looks like I have never uploaded pictures. However iphoto library info says 76.65GB of memory used of data since 2009. I made a back-up copy of the folder and even tried to replace the folder to no avail. I tried to rebuild the folder with iphoto library manager, but received a message of no photos still in iphoto. Here is a copy of the process:

Can anyone help restore all my pictures. I know it’s in the library, but why won’t it show up?


Thanks,

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.


Look there for a Folder called 'Master' or 'Old masters'.


Is there one? Look inside. Are your photos there?


Make no changes - just report back with the result.
