I am having a problem with my iphoto... when I open the program, all I see are the last photos uploaded from my camera...

There's no "library" or "events" or anything.

Can you help me?

What did I do??

    What version of Os X do you have?
    Some suggestions
    1. Open Finder and do a smart search for all photos to verify your pics are some where
    2. Click on the iPhoto menu in iPHoto and go to preferences... look around for some kind of specified directory. Maybe that has changed?

    in my iPhoto, there's a sidebar on the left that lists all of my albums, etc. Your screenshot looks like mine when the "last import" album is selected. I would look under the "view" "events" and "window" menus to see if there's a "Show sidebar" option or something similar. (sorry, I'm not at my home computer, so I can't look up what it might actually be called)

    I have messed with all preferences and tabs at the top and not had any luck. PS, it's been like this for like 3 weeks now.

    hmmm
    how about holding down option when you open it?
    this allows you to select between opening different iphoto libraries.
    maybe you started a new library on accident somehow?

    And did you verify that your photos are still on your hard drive with a Finder search?
  • lolololo
    yup L_T they are all there.

    I advise to not use iphoto in the future!

    It is the worst apple program, and really clumsy. Make your own folders! Always know where your files are! Edit in photoshop for accuracy!

    *my two cents

    I hate iphoto!

    I think I will hire you to help me with my folders. Do you accept cat nuzzles as payment?
  • the_owlsthe_owls
    I do, as well as snax/beer/tea!

    I have done this service before, it's a pleasure to untangle the digital knots and present a clean slate to someone.

    You ARE good at folders

    I gotta get off of iPhoto. It's so slow, it always beach balls! My library is 63 GB, which is maybe responsible for the problem? Doesn't seem that big.

    What is the right thing to do? Aperture? I don't think the folders in Finder approach will work for me.

    I got a new computer which saved my iphoto problem... I'm still using it, though! WHY AM I A SUCKER?

    I’ve heard that Aperture and Lightroom also have problems with big libraries.
