Using IPhoto '11 version 9.2 and I can't see many of my photos - they are somehow not able to be viewed anymore just shows a blank 'box' and when I click on them, comes up with the ! (error triangle). I have been using Macbooster 2 to clean up a bit but made sure that I wasn't deleting anything I needed! Please help! Need to access my photos 😟
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Sorry but once you start getting into junk ware like that anything can happen. You do not need this app for anything or any of the other apps like it. They do nothing that you cannot do yourself and much more safely. These apps are related by the careless for the gullible and now you're seeing the downside.

What's happened is that the app - probably using the "Photosweeper" module - has deleted the original files. The only - and I do mean only - solution is to restore from your back up.
Thanks for the info about Macbooster I will keep it in mind! Seems most of my photos are actually still there when I click on them just can't see them in the 'smaller' view. Do you know how to make them visible when looking at the albums?
Try rebuild the thumbnails:
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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work
Get rid of that app. Seriously.
I will try that, thanks so much for all your help! 🙂
Can't see many of my iPhoto '11 photos that were previously there??
