My iphoto crashed and lost 7000 photos.

My iphoto crashed and lost 7000 photos. It's always been problematic, despite several trips to the genius bar. How can I retrieve my photos? And what should I use instead of iphoto?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

iPhoto crashing shouldn't cause the loss of your photos. Your photos should be in the iPhotos library file (actually a folder) in your Pictures folder inside your Username folder.


Why are using OS X 10.7.3? It was at minimum updated to 10.7.5 five years ago.


What version of OS X are you actually running?


What version of iPhoto were you using?


Details please.

You have the photos in pictures in the iPhoto library. You do have a backup of all those on time machine or some external drive we hope?
