Then he asked permission to take the computer inside the store, spent 15 min in there, and came back with all my libraries perfectly back into place. The guy searched my computer beside me, found nothing. Then I booked a visit to genius bar at an Apple store, as a last resource. I did everything you described here, included getting Apple support to remotely access my computer and search everywhere for it. It would tell me to вЂchoose a library', but there was none anymore. I turned up my computer one day to find out my iphoto library had disappeared. I of courseВ easier not to believe all of this, but I've heard this story many times now, over and over, so I've had to accept that something strange is in fact going on.

So, like I tell everyone that I help, I still can't give you first-hand knowledge of how to deal with your problem, since I've never even been able to reproduce the situation.В And often, I never hear back from them, so I never find out exactly what fixed their particular problem.Д«ut, what I can tell you from everything that I've heard from people with these problems, and from those that I have helped, is that in a few rare cases, iPhoto libraries seem to go missing during upgrades of iPhoto library files when a major version of iPhoto was just installed, and when their iPhone is connected to their computers and is doing various kinds of syncs and imports. Instead, it's loading either another library file you created at one time, or worse, it's created a new and therefore empty library file so you are seeing no photos or events at all.Д®ven though I have helped a lot of people with their missing iPhoto Photo Library files, I still have personally never experienced a corrupt or missing library file myself. So the problem is, for whatever reason, your original library file with all of your master photos is missing - or iPhoto can no longer find it to load it up for you. By default, when you launch iPhoto, it loads whichever library file you had opened the last time you used iPhoto. You can have as many Photo Library files as you wish. The iPhoto application loads your Photo Library file after the application itself loads. This contains all of your master images, preview and thumbnail versions of your images, and all of the database files that the iPhoto application reads and writes to to know all of the information about each one of your images and how you have them organized. Photo Library File - a self-contained folder that looks like a single file in the Finder application. IPhoto Application - the program developed by Apple that does the magic. It's just there's no way someone here can explain how a technician made an error.There are 2 things required to make your photo collection load in iPhoto. I apologise if I appeared rude, it was not my intention in the least. If there's a glitch you could lose a day or two fixing it, and you don't want to do that. If everything goes well it will take a couple of hours - assuming you have good broadband.
