Failure to access iPhoto after back up / LaCie Little Disk / Error : 10657

Hello,
I recently bought a 320GB LaCie Little Disk external HD. After backing up via TM I try and access iPhoto via HD and get the message "Error code: 10657. The operation couldn't be completed".
Can anyone pls help me?
Many thanks,
GF

Hi there,
No, what I mean is when I connect up my external HD back up to MacBook, I cannot access any of my photos and none of my "applications".
again, how are you accessing them? you are NOT supposed to access TM backups in ANY way directly. if you want to use something from a backup you need to restore it using TM interface to your main drive. then use the restored item on the main drive. to restore something from backup you click on TM in the dock, scroll back in time, select what you want to restore and hit "restore".
I'm not sure how you are supposed to view one's backed up photos on external HD, but I've tried via:
Latest backup/ applications/iPhoto
and
Latest backup / Library (and iPhoto doesn't even come up in Library)
you are doing it wrong which is why you are getting the error.
I've called Apple technical support but unfort they can't help as I bought MacBook over 90 days ago!
Sorry to be a nuisance - do you think it could be something to do with the security settings?
Thank you, GF
I also suggest you take a look at Pondini's FAQs at the top of TM forum http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018 and at TM 101 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427

LaCie Little Disk - no longer supported? I can't open my backed up files

I plugged my LaCie Little Disk into my MacBook pro. It comes up on my desktop but when I try to open any of the backed up files I get this message from Finder: "You can't opne the application iPhoto because power PC applications are no longer supported" OK is the oply option!
The files were backed up in 2011 from a Ibook G4.
Any ideas would be appreciated!

What format is the external drive? - to use for the iphoto Library it MUST be Mac OS extended (journaled)
I am not sure of the external drive format.
Then look - select it in the finder and get info
The LaCie instructions say the LaCie Setup Assistant Software must be launched, and to click on the drive icon when it mounts on my computer - But it goes directly to my backed up files, which then won't open (and not just iPhoto).
I have no idea what you want to do here - if the drive is correctly formatted then you need no set up - if it is not then you have a problem because set up will erase it -- what ever it is it iPhoto is not involved - if you need LaCie support you need to contact them

LaCie Little Disk Has Been Corrupted?

I have been happily using my Lacie Little Disk 300GB HDD to back up my MacBook data although not as the designated Time Machine as I use it with PCs as well. Since the latest update to 10.6.3 when I now plug in my external HDD it shows one file which is named a mixture of unrecognisable characters. Also showing that the hard drive has the full 300gb available to write to.
Has this update of Mac OS X somehow linked it to Time Machine as the same thing shows on a PC?
How to I revert to using my Lacie Little Disk as I was previously and will this restore the data that should still be on it!???
Any help on this would be great!

I have just checked those things even though I have always checked no to this drive becoming my Time Machine.
For Partition Map Scheme it says: Master Boot Record
And for Format: MS-DOS (FAT32)
Then whatever happened, it wasn't OSX trying to format it for Time Machine.
For future reference, if you don't want to use Time Machine at all, you can stop those prompts. Open the Terminal app (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Be *very careful* with this app. It's a direct link into UNIX, the underpinnings of OSX, but without the protections of OSX.
In Terminal, the prompt looks like this: user-xxxxxx:~ <your name>$
(where <your name> is your short user name). It's followed by a non-blinking block cursor (unless it's been changed via Terminal > Preferences).
Copy the following after the prompt:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool YES
and press Return.
That same section is saying I have no files or folders and am using just 1.8MB out of the 320GB!
Thanks for the suggestion but I'm guessing it's something else! Any more ideas?
Something else has reformatted or erased it. (The 1.8 MB is the empty directory and partition map.)
You need specialized +Data Recovery+ software, or a service that performs the function. It's not cheap, and there are no guarantees.
The app mentioned here most often is +Data Rescue 3,+ but I haven't used it myself, so can't recommend it over any of the others.
Some of these have a free "trial mode," that will tell you if there's anything to be recovered, and perhaps recover a single file. For more, you have to pay the $$.
You'll also need another drive to receive anything it can recover.
Look for apps or services under +Data Recovery+ via Google, VersionTracker.com, or MacUpdate.com.

Problem accessing iPhoto after Upgrade to Yosemite

After upgrading to Yosemite on my MacBook , the result I get when trying to open iPhoto, which I use a lot , is : our photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
What does "not readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade " ? Am I not going to access my photos ?

Thank you Niel but I just found out that my back up to my Passport for Mac is not the same as before and am having problems with it .
I go to settings, select time machine , turn it on and it starts backing up .
Now it is asking me to choose between My passport for Mac and Other airport time capsule .
When I choose My passport for Mac , it gives me the choice : REMOVE DISK or Cancel .
If I choose the other one , it gives me the choice : SET UP or cancel .
I don't know what Other airport time capsule is and not sure if I have to set it up .

Can't access IPhoto after upgrade to Yosemite

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and can't access iPhoto. I've tried to install the upgrade, but it just sits there saying Installing, but nothing is working. Tried the IPhoto Upgrader without success. It says that it was not necessary for me to use the upgrader. Help! I need access to all of my pics!

Use Launchpad to cancel the download and try again.

Unable to access iPhoto after installing iLife 06

I installed iLife 06. After doing so, my iPhoto folder cannot be accessed. I get a message saying "There is a problem accessing 1 or more files in iPhoto library folder. In the Finder, select iPhoto library folder. Choose File >Get Info. Make sure you have read and write permissions for the folder and then apply this setting to all enclosed items." I have done this, but I still can't get it to open. Any ideas?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

susieslp:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That has happened to a number of users for some unknown reason. Try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Good luck.
Do you Twango?

HELP! can't access iphoto library back up

I backed up my whole iphoto library (17K pix) onto a G drive so I could have more space on my laptop. When I was finished, I checked the G drive to make sure all the pix were there before deleting off the computer. They were. Today I went to access my old photos on my G drive and when I clicked on it, I got a message, can't access this library, it is being used as a time machine back up. What happened to my pix? Can I get them back for use? HELP!!!!

Have you opened this one over a wireless connection in the past?
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.

Cannot access iPhoto after Maverick upgrade

After upgrading to OSX 10.9.1, I am unable to access my photos. I get an error message stating that the photos are on a locked disk. It tries to repair teh access but top no avail. I can view my photos on my phone.

Your phone access to photos is strictly on your phone. It sounds like you put your photos on another account, or an external hard drive that doesn't have the right permissions. You could sync up the photos from your phone to your computer, but that requires these steps:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4252343
The Pictures folder should not be outside your Users -> yourname -> folder. Otherwise iPhoto generally won't know where to find it, without a rebuild of the library. If you did put it outside of there, command-option keys need to be held simultaneously while launching iPhoto, and locate the iPhoto Library xml file in the folder that has your library once it asks you to relocate the folder.

Can't play videos on iPhoto after installing Yosemite, also getting JRE error. Are they related?

When I start Mac, I get following error regarding JRE requirement. I have updated JRE 8 from Oracle website, but I still get the same error. This has started after I updated to Yosemite.
Also when I click on video I get following error: "A necessary data reference could not be resolved." Hence am unable to play any videos.
Are these related, can someone help?
Do note that I have MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) with OS X Yosemite (10.10) and iPhoto 9.6.

I'd ask about the JRE issue on the Using Mac OS X forum.
The videos are not necessarily gone:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Issue accessing iPhoto!

I have an issue with accessing iPhoto after I updated to OS X Yosemite, my computer doesn't even show iPhoto app. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's possible that iPhoto got hidden in your Apple ID, so the Mac App Store may be detecting wrongly that you didn't purchase iPhoto or that you installed it illegally. Just unhide iPhoto > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Also, make sure that iPhoto is stored in /Applications. If not, put iPhoto in this folder and try to update again.
If nothing works, contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes you are correct, i compiled using jdk1.5.
but my servlet code will not compile in jdk1.4 version since i used advanced vaector classes in that.
Is there any settings like script file that need to be changed so that i can point to my jdk1.5 compiler rather than the default one pointed by weblogic.
Thanks in advance

Issues with iphoto after hard drive failure - message "library was created with an unreleased version of iphoto"

I have a late model 2008 13" MacBook that was running OS X 10.5.8 when the hard drive failed 2 weeks ago when I was traveling in Canada. I found a Mac repair centre and they replaced my 250GB with a 500GB hard drive and transferred my data. (Yeah!!!) I'm now on OS X 10.6.8 (which is great as I guess I should be able to sync my iphone on IOS 7 with my laptop again.... but I digress...)
I haven't been able to access my photos as I get the message "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iphoto. Please quit and upgrade this photo library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4" when I try to open it. I can see my photos when I look on Photo Browser in Mail so that's good - they are here... I looked through past messages with this problem and saw that the advise was to download iphoto Library Manager. I want to be certain I don't mess anything up so the questions are:
1. What version of iphoto Library Manager should I download - I had OS X 10.5.8 and my iphoto library was ... (sorry - can't find out what it was, guess it's now 7.1.5)
2. What do I do after I've downloaded IPLM?
Many thanks ahead of time for any assistance

I backed up my iPhoto Library to an external drive even though it looked way to small to hold all my photos. I have tried several times to open iPhoto whilst depressing the option and command keys but get the same message again:
"The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iphoto. Please quit and upgrade this photo library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4" Behind this, the little wheel is turning and it says "Loading Photos" (but it doesn't).
I've got to access these photos for a project deadline that's looming so any help would be really appreciated.

I am unable to transfer my pictures from iphoto after editing back to my external hard disc. How do I do it. Previously I used Windows and this is the first time I am using a Macbook. Need help and tutorials.. Where can I find em..

Hi there, I am new to Apple Iphoto. I am having lots of problems in transferring my edited photos back to my external Hard disc after editing. How am I able to do it. will it be able to open in Windows OS... Previously I was using Windows and now i m new in using the Apple OS.. Need guidance.. Would really appreciate if any1 of u guys could help me through. are there any other applications that I could use to edit pictures.

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here
