Corrupted iPhoto Library - repair or create a new one?

Running OS 10.9.5, iPhoto 9.5.1

Before I knew better, I've stupidly went into iPhoto "Show Package Contents" and messed around, by manually removing the many photos (need duplicates for some time). A few weeks later, I started to notice the bad behaviour of iPhoto: miniatures that are not open, wouldn't play movies, originals not found - all signs of corruption. Finally, he reached the point where my iPhoto application not open yet, even if the contents of the iPhoto library appeared to be intact (I couldn't find any example of original photo file missing actually).  The folks at Apple store helped me to the trash and re - install my iPhoto app, and now everything seems to work very well.

My question is: because I messed around with the iPhoto library structure, if there is still an underlying problem that could come back? I don't know if the library has been damaged, or if the iPhoto application has been altered, or both. Should I create a new iPhoto library and import all my existing content there? (Like start again). I don't use any metadata such as faces, or places or edits, is not important for me to preserve this. I can always re - create albums. Everything I need to keep is the unique file name and the date of each photo and film.

Or can I trust that the problem has been fixed? Is it possible to test or verify that the library is not corrupt?

Thank you

Stupidly, I went in iPhoto "Show Package Contents" and messed around, by manually removing the many photos (need duplicates for some time)

This has no effect on demand - data - the library so reinstall the Application will not solve the problems caused by your actions

It would be better to restore a backup before you have done or start over with a new library and import are original photos

  • If you delete the free partner site, you can create a new one from scratch?

    Hi all

    So I just saw that a free partner site has been created for me and she seem to include all the features of BC on it (which is great!), the problem is it seems to have a default value of site of BC he likes when you publish your site regardless of the host, and they put their index by default on this subject until you load you own site. Then I tried to chat with a customer representative on this live chat option and he said I could not change the default template that comes to this subject. SO, what is the point to get this free site, if you cannot customize to your taste? THEN I thought, maybe if I delete the site it will give the possibility to create a new free site parter, but this time I'll be that choose the model and other configs. However, I'm afraid that if I delete the site, that's all, I won't be able to create a new partner free site and it and all of its features will be gone forever, that why I post here. Everyone how you can change an existing model does not place, or if you delete the free partner site that is given to you, you are able to create a new?

    Thank you

    Alex.

    Currently, there is not any way to assign a model on the partner site (for example, a model of BC) or one of the sites that sale models BC.

    The best method is to create a test site with the model you want to use, then copy the code on your partner site. You can easily change the files in the site to make it look like you want to only it.

  • understand the flow of photos from iPhoto library photos vs vs

    I just transfer a bunch of photos from an external hard drive in my iPhoto library.  I created several new Albums right here.  The problem is that my photos are not displayed when I click on the Photos icon on my menu bar.  Also new albums and photos will appear not on my iPad via the photo stream.  I don't understand how the 3things: I picture library, photos, photo stream, work-sharing app.  How to do all of my albums (and the photos in these albums) duplicate in all (or appear to) all my devices?

    Migrating from iPhoto to a Photos library library affects only the photos in the iPhoto library in time. Photos and albums added to the iPhoto library after that will be in the iPhoto library unless you also import the photos into your photo library and set and fill albums.

    Albums are not spread through my photo stream, only by iCloud photo library.

    The new model is of approximately:

    * Use only the Photos app and the library of Photos on your Mac (s). After the initial migration, ignore iPhoto and its library.

    * Use iCloud photo library as the repository ignoring my photo stream unless you have devices that don't support icloud photo library (for most older iPods). You may need to increase your storage plan iCloud to organize all your photos and videos.

    * Use the Photos app on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s) with iCloud as library active. Again, my photo stream is necessary only if you have devices that don't support icloud photo library. You can use the option "optimize storage' to save the storage space on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s).

  • Do not click on old iPhoto library in Bridge CS5. It converts images of the .pkg file

    Hi fellow users. I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.4 Adbobe CS5 Bridge and iPhoto 8.1.2.

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries stored in the folder my pictures. If I click on an iPhoto library somewhat current bridge, iPhoto lance and (according to the version of iPhoto package), displays the photo library in iPhoto.

    WARNING WARNING WARNING: Do not THROW OLD iPHOTO LIBRARIES FROM BRIDGE CS5

    If I click on an OLD deck of iPhoto from the bridge, he launched iPhoto but iPhoto doesn't display the library.

    What happens next is bad. Somehow the entire 'Images' folder is now considered by the dysfunctional finder as an iPhoto library or a "package". I had two happen.

    ---------

    The fix. From a finder window, you can right click on the photos icon and 'display the contents of the package. Drag the contents to a new folder. Remove the package of photos. If you wish, rename the new folder "Images". You may help iPhoto find your library again the next time that you open it. You will not be able to pass the package of photos to the Recycle Bin without loggin as user root (Apple can guide you through this).

    Good luck and be warned.

    -Go Steelers

    What happens next is bad. Somehow the entire 'Images' folder is now regarded by

    the dysfunctional finder as an iPhoto library or a "package". I had

    both occur.

    As I don't have a single iPhoto Library I can see the icon and when clicked

    It opens iPhoto forward.

    I don't have much experience with iPhoto and don't like the way you work

    with a library in a package hidden instead of a folder structure opened as

    Bridge of fact.

    Do not understand what you mean with the old library. If you rename the previous

    versions of the iPhoto library or do create you several libraries for different

    projects?

    Anyway, as Lao Tai already said, iPhoto library is a package and therefore

    not supposed to see photos in Bridge.

    Assuming that you have a back up of libraries you can replace without

    a lot of damage but you can first check if you can open the file

    See the contents of the package.

    In the Finder, select the file that you describe and right of the mouse and then click

    choose show package contents from the context menu.

    Do this also with your current library and place them side by side

    Compare the differences.

    The safest way to get your originals is in the same way, choose view

    content and find the "originals" folder

    Copy (if you are still able to use iPhoto, if for some reason any one)

    do) this content to the new folders in the finder (of course outside of the)

    the contents of the iPhoto library) and after doing so point bridge to

    These folders to use images in Bridge and Psalm
