Can't reinstall or use iphoto -- please help

My problem with iPhoto started last week when it was recommended that I delete then reinstall iPhoto. Apparently I did something wrong. Now, whenever I try to open iPhoto it shuts down right away: it never opens thought the icon appears for a brief moment in the dock. I'll paste the error report at the bottom.
In short, I need iPhoto to finish editing something due Wednesday, so I'm in a bind.
I've put the original CD into my iMac and selected Application Bundles and I've tried to reinstall iLife. Neither work. My best guess is that I failed to delete something when I removed the original file from my computer and iPhoto is unable to open because of that. Can someone help me confirm this or give me some other suggestions on how to proceed?
Thank you all in advance.

To reinstall iPhoto you must delete the application and any file with "iPhoto" in the file name that resides in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Then reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on, run the latest updater and try again.
You might also reinstall iLife Support 9.0.3 but do it first and see if you can launch iPhoto.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once three iCloud accounts have been created on any iOS device, it can you no longer be used to create any more accounts, regardless of what you do to it. You will need to use a computer or another iOS device to create your account and then use the details to log into your account on your phone.

    I am using garage band for the first time.  I dragged and dropped a song from itunes into the program and I want to extend the length of the song by repeating the first 28 measures.  I can't figure it out.  Please help.  I have spent several hours trying to figure it out on my own but have not been successful.  It seems like an easy task.  Can anyone help?

    split the region at the 28th measure

    (Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
    then select only the first region and option-drag it to the end of the song

  • I use iphone4,but can't find apple store application please help me

    I use iphone4,but can't find apple store application please help me

    Malek,
    Facetime for iphone is not available in the App Store because it is already built into any iphone that is FaceTime compatible, and I think that includes iphone 4.  You should be able to find Facetime amongst the other built in applications that came with it.  However, it is possible that if it was purchased in certain countries where Facetime is not allowed, the App was not included.

  • I have created a family recipe book in iBooks - can I print it using iPhoto's print service?

    I have created a family recipe book in iBooks - can I print it using iPhoto's print service? I don't want to print it on our home printer - I want to print multiple copies for family members through the Apple iPhoto book printing service.  Can anyone help me please?

    There is no Apple print service for iBooks, and iPhoto can also only print photo books created in iPhoto.
    Print your iBook to pdf. Then you have several option:
    Save the pdf to a thumbsdrive/stick  and take it to the nearest print shop close to your home.
    Search online for "self publishing" services available in your country.
    Recreate your book as an iPhoto Book. This will be a lot of work, since iPhoto's templates are more suitable for Picture books than books with lots of formatted text. To speed things up, you could use "Preview" to export the pages of your book as jpegs (high quality, at least 300 dpi) and add themas full-page photos to a new PhotoBook. This can be sent to apple for printing.
    But the first two options would be much less trouble and probably be less expensive.

  • "It is formatted incorrectly, or is not a format that iBooks can open". Can anyone help me with this message of a book that I purchased on iBooks, read, highlighted in the book and now I can't open it anymore. Please help!!!

    Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.

    No computer can do a thing without using memory. 1.5 GB is very little. It's normal.
    3 or so hours from a full charge may also be normal, for what you are doing. As batteries age, they don't last as long on a full charge as they did when they were new. All batteries eventually wear out, and are easily replaceable.

  • Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!

    Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!
    My MBP will not "see" my new MB or my back-up drive—both connected via a firewire 400 (6 pin) cable. Both running Tiger X.4.11
    I have used this cable to connect my MBP and a TiBook in the past as well as to back-up onto the LaCie e-drive.
    I have run "disk repair" and "permissions" on both machines.
    BTW—"permissions" are regularly out of wack on the MBP. But, the disk is OK according to Disk Utilities.
    I also cannot put the machine to sleep after logging out. Has a hard time shutting down as well. Sometimes I need to force a re-boot.
    Can't run Disk Doctor because I don't have a bootable disk yet. It's coming via snail mail.
    The new MB "sees" the e-drive connected with the same cable.
    I can't transfer my files to the new MB nor can I back up.
    Is it time for a "clean install"? Makes me nervous that I cannot backup before trying anything drastic.
    Can someone please help me?
    Thanks in advance.
    Tek

    Put the more recalcitrant computer into Target Drive mode by starting it with the T key down until you see the yellow on blue screen. Then connect it to the other machine by firewire cable while both are already awake.
    I hope that you did not do any upgrades while you had external drives connected... that is an automatic problem. Always disconnect from externals and accessories before doing any upgrades. Always back up before doing any upgrades.
    Firewire networking is not the same as using a computer in Target Disc mode. In Target disc mode, you are using the internal drive of the Td computer as an external. That should allow you to run disk utility. Do use the proper disc utility version for the OSX version that is on problem drive. ie don't use the Leopard disc utility for the Tiger disc or vice versa.

  • How to add fingerprint to 5s? I can`t press add a fingerpint please HELP ios 8,0,2

    How to add fingerprint to 5s? I can`t press add a fingerpint please HELP ios 8,0,2

    Hi, SillDeividas.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is an article that I would recommend taking a look at for this issue.  
    Get help with Touch ID
    Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
    Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
    If you're using a case or screen protector, make sure it doesn't cover the Home button or the surrounding ring. If it does, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
    Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on. Also make sure that you've enrolled one or more fingerprints.
    Try enrolling a different finger.
    If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your device to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for help.
    * Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.
