My wife just lost her entire iphoto database with no warning ... poof, gone! She has a G4 tower with OS10, purchased 6 months ago. Can someone tell me what happened? Can I somehow retrieve the photos? How can this be prevented in future? <br><br>She's lost some great photos and is very upset .. solving this problem will make me her hero. Help!<br><br>JM<br><br> <br><br>

Have you done a search for the actual photos? Sometimes iPhoto's database gets corrupted and appears to be empty, but in fact the photos are still on the hard drive.<br><br>Check in your Pictures folder, or wherever else you may have stored them.<br><br><br>Visit My Web Site!

check out this link from another forum. It is actually a response I made to someone else, but one of the solutions should work for you.---->linky<br><br>you can also switch between libraries if you have more than one too.<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>You can switch from your current photo library to one you've already created. <br><br><br>To open another photo library: <br><br><br>1 <br>Quit iPhoto. <br><br><br>2 <br>Rename your current Photo Library folder in the Finder or move it to a new location on your hard disk. <br><br><br>3 <br>Open iPhoto. <br><br><br>4 <br>Click Find Library. <br><br><br>5 <br>Choose the library you want to display. <br><br><br>6 <br>Click Open. <br><br><br>The library appears in the iPhoto viewing area. <p><hr></blockquote><p><br><br>My Stuff

Have you looked for the actual files. I believe they're in Library/iPhoto Library<br><br>

there is also a new Apple kb --->iPhoto "Your Photo library was not found" message<br><br><br>[url=http://homepage.mac.com/loridilo/Menu3.html]My Stuff
