Can't open iPhoto after downloading yosemite app

I have an IMac, and have recently downloaded the Yosemite app. Was not able to open iPhoto so I downloaded the iPhoto app. Now the slash on the iPhoto icon on the dock is gone, but when I try to open iPhoto I am directed to download the iPhoto app again, in an endless loop. Is anyone out there experiencing the same phenomena? How do get to my photos?

What version of iPhoto do you have?

  • Cannot open iPhoto after downloading yosemite

    After downloading Yosemite, I could not open iPhoto.
    OSX Yosemite 10.10
    1. Click on iPhoto icon
    2. pop-up opens stating "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared". I click "Learn more".
    3. Library Upgrader opens and I click on Download.
    4. I double click on the box icon in the new window.
    5.  "This tool prepares libraries from iPhoto 7 or earlier so they can be upgraded with the current version of iPhoto" opens in a new box. I click "continue"  and agree with the agreement.
    6. Click "install" in a new window and "install" again.
    7. "The installation was completed successfully" appears.
    8. I click on iPhoto icon and the process starts from the beginning.
    I have tried this app. four times.

    Locate your iPhoto library and then use the iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library - Apple Support link for instructions and then test.
    If you still have troubles reset both the SMC and PRAM 2-3 times back to back. You can find instructions for this by clicking iMac SMC and PRAM reset
    Post back with the results after rebuilding your library and doing the resets if you need to.

  • Can't open iphoto after complete reboot.

    Hi!
    My computer stoped working a while back and I had the harddrive replaced, now I can't open iphoto after importing it from time mashine. I still have the same OS X (10.6.8) on a Mac Book pro from 2009. I can't buy the new one, or update it, because my OS X is too old and after seeing all the problems with the new system I don't really want to install it. How do I make iphoto work again? When I try to open it, it just says it can't open because of a problem (no, really?).

    Is there a crash report?  Have you tried reinstalling it?
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    I don't understand why first update has almost 2GB and there is also second update which has around 300MB, so I can see two iMovie updates in App Store - Updates.

  • Can't open iPhoto after fresh OSX install

    I recently re-installed my operating system (on the advice of a Guru) and now I cannot open iPhoto. I moved all my documents, applications, photos (EVERYTHING) to an external hard drive and then re-installed.
    Once installed I tried to open iPhoto and received this message:
    "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    So I then proceeded to download updates. I am running version 4.0.3. When I tried the version 5 upgrade it said there were no valid versions of iPhoto in my applications folder. Version 6 upgrade says the same.
    Any ideas on what I can do. I can't even load new photos (photos not changed in a newer version of iPhoto). I'm at my whits end.
    Anybody PLEASE help!!!!
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi, Matthew. The error message you're seeing appears whenever iPhoto 4.x detects an iPhoto Library folder anywhere within its reach that was created by iPhoto 5.x or 6.x. Is it possible that the hard drive on which you backed up all your stuff also contained a library folder created by iP 5 or 6, and you copied that folder to your main drive along with the data that had been on it previously?
    Alternatively, is it possible that someone has given you a picture CD burned with iP 5 or 6, and that that CD is in your optical drive now, or that you copied it to your main hard drive before backing up, but never tried to open iPhoto after doing so? iP (any version) creates an iP Library folder when you burn a CD, and the mere availability of such a folder to an older version of iP will trigger the error message, even if an appropriate Library folder is also available.
    Or might you have backed up your data, including your original iP Library folder, to a drive that contained a newer version of iPhoto, and opened the library in that version while it was backed up on that drive? That would have caused the library to be updated, which would make it (and any copy of it) unreadable by iP 4.x.
    Search your hard drive (the one with the newly-installed OS on it) for folders named "iPhoto Library". If you find any besides your main library, and you're confident that your main library couldn't have been updated by a newer iP version, you'll need to remove any newer-version libraries from the hard drive or disconnect (or eject) any storage medium that contains them, so iP 4 won't detect them and put up the error message.

  • I can't update iPhoto after installing yosemite

    i can't update or open iPhoto after installing yosemite

    Ok so here's what you gonna do. (had this problem myself today, and after some fiddling figured out what to do.)
    Find your old iPhoto with a cross through it, right-click it and select 'show package contents'. A folder will open. In that folder go to Contents>MacOS and there will be three little things there. Click on the one called 'iPhoto' and terminal will open. Leave terminal open and wait four seconds and VOILA! iPhoto opens. Leave terminal open until you are finished with iPhoto, because if you close terminal, iPhoto will close with it. THX! ENJOY! Hope it works.
    P.S.
    You can close terminal once you close iPhoto. I also suggest backing up your iPhoto library while you can.

  • Can't open iphoto after using My Publisher

    I recently made a book on My Publisher.  Now I can not open iphoto since it says it is already in use.  It seems as if all my pictures have been captured by My Publisher.  What can I do.

    Is the full error message "your photo library is in use by another program or has become unreadable"? Then maybe the second part of the error message is the problem.  Make a backup of your iPhoto library and rebuild it.
