problem after iphoto upgrade

Posted:
in iPod + iTunes + AppleTV edited January 2014
While upgrading iphoto to 1.2 via ilife, a large number of photos were placed into an album called recovered photos. There are greater than 5000 photos in my library at present. I din't really think too much of it. I later went to the photos that were in the recovered album to see if they were still in the library. They were...or at least I though they were. The thumb was there is what I am trying to say. When opening one of the "recovered photos from either the library or the recovered album, the photo begins to open(actually see a flash of the picture) but the picture does not end up opening(just a blank screen with the highlight field surrounding it. I tend to believe the photos are still there but can not be read for some reason( the file size still indicates that it is more than a thumb). Can anybody help me to fix this? Thanks for any help.

    have you repaired permissions at all?



    this thread should be moved to the GB, wait for a mod to do it but you can look in the sticky at the top of the GB for some simple troubleshooting instructions... I would suggest deleting the caches, running fsck and repairing permissions...



    then open iPhoto again and see if you can load your pictures...

    How do I go about re-installing iphoto? Will this remove my library. Do I just throw the Application away, reinstall off ilife and then choose the library? Where do I go to repair permissions? Sorry for the dumb questions but I am a rookie.

    "FAQ: check here first if you have problems!" should answer your questions...



    from the GB (genius bar) where you double posted

    next time ask a moderator to move your thread to the appropriate place... (not entirely your fault, the site has been shorthanded since the split )
