Iphoto Library GONE?? (Macbookpro)

cashbackproblems

hi..

i just tried going into Iphoto when my iphone was plugged in and it asked me to choose a exisiting folder or create a new folder....i couldnt find any existing folder so created a new folder and the pics on my phone opened up on there...HOWEVER...my old pics have dissapeared and the folders i created gone i.e. everything has reset!! Usually i plug my iphone in and iphoto automatically opens up and the pics are there..


I have tried looking for them in "finder" but cant find anything in the iphoto folder, does anyone have any ideas?!

thanks

I just downloaded Iphoto library manager and it only finds the new library i just created

Did you create a new library? Have you tried switching to your previous library? If not then open iPhoto app and next go to File<Switch library. Can you find your old photos there?

Did you use Time Machine to backup your PC?

Try looking in the Trashcan. iPhoto libraries are normally stored inside the Documents folder; if you, or some cleaner software, deleted it by mistake.......

The message you received means the library is missing from its original place (i.e. the Documents folder), hence the "Do you want to create a new one" message.
