It shows it finds 29000 pictures and 1500 scavenged.īut when it finishes, it only has rebuilt 6000 pictures.(only conflicts during rebuilt are"cannot built. With library manager, I rebuilt the library. But then when I scroll down, iPhoto wants to "see" or calculate the next window in range Hung up in the dialog "cannot find" cancel? and I have done that for hours, and every time when the dialog cancel stops, I canĭelete a few greyed out dashed line pictures I know I don't need. The cannot finds are originally pictures that were stored outside the library, but only 1500, so I get that.īut my iPhoto library shows 31000 photos in events and 51000 "items" in photos.When I move the mouse over an event, I get In short, my library contains many "cannot find originals". I have the same issue going on from this thread, followed your advise, bought the iPhoto library manager, but I am not Thank you for sharing your expertise with us, very helpful. Maybe someone can shed light on why this worked. That's what worked for me, though I admit it is wonky and illogical. Empty Trash if there are any problem files there, too Move that photo, and any other problem photos, to a new album Drag the photo back into its old location iPhoto will go to the location the photo USED to be Select "Reveal in Finder" on the broken thumbnail Drag it out of the iPhoto Library and onto the desktop Navigate to the photo in Spotlight (not finder) Find a broken photo in iPhoto, note the name The problem is gone! I then moved the photos out of the "Photos to Fix" album, and the problem has not returned. Then, I quit and restarted iPhoto several times. I emptied the Trash, after clicking 'cancel' on each error message. I then went to the Trash, and found some broken aliases in there, too. I went to the TextEdit doc, and I found each and every photo, and dragged it into an album I'd created (I called it something like "Photos to Fix" or something). So I took the steps again above, but this time I did something slightly different afterward. I quit the program, and the same problem reoccurred. Voila, the photo was re-linked.īut here's where it gets interesting. Then, when the alert came up again, I used File > Reveal in Finder to navigate to the photo.interestingly, iPhoto then pointed to the original location of the missing file.I then dragged the photo from my desktop back into iPhoto's library via the Finder. I dragged the culprit file to my desktop. (I'm not sure why you can't navigate to photos from inside iPhoto, but you can from Spotlight - note, you can't find them in any other finder window, just Spotlight). Then I did something strange that seems to have worked: I went to Spotlight, and searched for one of the image names. I wrote down the name of every photo on a text edit doc. Okay, so I did what someone suggested on another thread, and tried to identify all the 80 or so photos that were supposedly 'missing'. I did try iPhoto Library Manager before posting here, but it told me it couldn't rebuild the database because it was corrupt! Yikes.
