iPhoto was rebuilding library and MacBook crashed
A couple days ago iPhoto reported there was an update. So, I usually just accept and have it update the program. This went smooth. But when iPhoto re-launched, it reported it needs to "rebuild the library" -- so, I said, "OK".
Problem happened when I guess the operation utilized all the RAM assailable and paused all the other programs active at that time; all of them. So, I force closed them all except iPhoto; hoping it would complete its operation.
But then it reported "Not Responding"
After a long while, I just re-booted (needed to do a hard-reboot by holding down the power button). I guessed this may not be ideal but the computer was completely a brick at that point.
When I rebooted, iPhoto was updated but the library was completely empty.
I found my entire library, in tact, in a folder called, "Old Masters" and "Old Previews."
Question is: how do I get these back into iPhoto the best way possible (i.e. without having to re-drag over 300GB of images back into iPhoto)???
Any help would be very much appreciated!
