Method 1: Rebuild your photo library from automatic backup. Hold down both the Command and Option / Alt keys, and while doing so, launch iPhoto. In the dialog that opens up, choose to rebuild your iPhoto library. Select Repair the iPhoto Library Database and then open the repair options again and choose R ebuild iPhoto library database from.

PhotoStructure has several strategies to ensure your librarymatches your filesystem.

🩳 Briefly #

A “sync” focuses on your filesystem. Bluestacks 1 compressed. Sync updates your library with changesmade to your filesystem.

A “rebuild” focuses on what’s already in your library. Rebuild updates yourdatabase to reflect improved PhotoStructure algorithms.

🔍 Library syncs #

PhotoStructure runs “sync” jobs for the directories in your scanpaths, and if you’ve enabled automaticscanning, all your mounted volumes.

Synchronization has 3 steps:

1. The directory is recursively scanned for files that might be eligible forbeing imported into your library (see this post fordetails). The progress bar says “Scanning…”during this step.

2. Those eligible files are individually examined. Only those files (or theirsidecars) that have changed since the last sync will be re-imported. Ifyou’ve opted for automaticorganization, new filesand sidecars will be copied into your library. The progress bar says“Processing…” during this step.

3. The prior contents of the directory, according to your PhotoStructure’slibrary database, is then scanned, and missing files are handledappropriately.

PhotoStructure is designed to handle very large libraries. Don’t worry aboutstopping PhotoStructure in the middle of a sync! PhotoStructure will pick upwhere it left off as soon as you restart.

PhotoStructure runs a sync for all volumes daily, but you can manually start aresync via the navigation menu.

PhotoStructure also monitors your volumes, and as new volumes are mounted, itwill sync them automatically.

🔬 Library rebuilds #

Your library may be automatically rebuilt when youupgrade to a new version of PhotoStructure that improves heuristics forde-duplication, improves metadata inference, or adds new tagging curators.

Rebuilds are expensive! They may require:

• re-extraction of metadata
• recalculation of image hashes
• regeneration of previews
• re-transcoding of any missing videos
• re-aggregation of assets

Rebuilds should not be necessary except after version upgrades.

I think iPhoto is a pretty nice app for managing images on your Mac, but it’s not without its faults. Apple has also realized this and that is why they offer a hidden set of recovery options to account for those problems.

So how do you access these options? Wineskin for mac high sierra. Press and hold the Command and Option keys when you click on the iPhoto icon. You should then see the screen above, which has the following options you can select from:

Photos Client Requested Library Rebuild

• Repair the iPhoto Library Database
• Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup
• Rebuild the photos’ small thumbnails
• Rebuild all of the photos’ thumbnails
• Recover orphaned photos in the iPhoto Library folder
• Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions

Not sure what you should choose? Here are some guidelines that Apple provides:

Macos Photos Rebuild Library

• Select the option(s) to rebuild thumbnails only if the thumbnails appear to be an issue (gray, blank, missing or mismatched).
• Select the option to recover orphaned photos if photos appear to be missing from the iPhoto library. iPhoto will examine the library folder for any photos that are not currently being displayed in Albums or Events in the iPhoto source list.
• In iPhoto ’08 and later, select the option to examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions if it appears that you cannot edit certain photos or if the iPhoto library will not open.
• In iPhoto ’08, select the option to “Rebuild the iPhoto Library database” if iPhoto unexpectedly quits when opened or does not get past loading photos.
• In iPhoto ’09, select the option to “rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup” if iPhoto unexpectedly quits when opened or does not get past loading photos. This option is similar to the option to “Rebuild the iPhoto Library database” in iPhoto ’08, except that it has the added ability to regenerate a database from an automatically backed up library database. Also, after rebuilding your library database using this option, your original database files can be found in the “Before Restore” folder inside the library package.
