Has upgrade to iPhoto 6 solved anyone's SBOD hang problems?
I'm just curious if there is a bug fix included with this version. I'm going to upgrade regardless because I want the other features of iLife, but I've been hoping against hope that iPhoto 6 might actually deliver. I'd be tickled if it delivered the 25,000 images promises of v5. If I can't get iPhoto to work right with 6, I'm going third party. A year of frustration is TOO much.
PS - I did try to search before posting but I couldn't come up with a term that brought me any results on this question.
I answered this myself by upgrading. I don't have any spinning ball nightmares or problems quitting on the two computers with the upgrades. That may be due to the fact that with each the upgrade also included a completely fresh start with iPhoto. I am creating new libraries when I get to two or three thousand photos. I'm being diligent about culling unwanted photos through image capture and preview before I import them. I'm smarter about managing photos within iPhoto and not touching anything in the folders for iPhoto.
I have not upgraded on my third computer yet as it is the repository of all the photos I had before iPhoto 6. I have up to five copies of the same photo that are listed as originals. Most are rotations. It's crazy. They are still in a disastrous mess. I'm a bit reluctant to upgrade there. Maybe it will help me get the mess fixed.
The final line is that I love iPhoto again, thanks to version 6.

When I try to enter codes for digital movie downloads it tells me "code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Try again later." Customer support has been no help. Anyone else have this problem?
Am sick of going back and forth with what has turned out to be worthless customer support. Have sent them so much info and pictures, no help. All they do is send me links for instructions on how to redeem the codes. I know how to redeem, I have redeemed at least 50 codes. To them I am obviously an idiot though. To me it seems to be a problem on their end, but can't get an answer from them on why it is telling me code redemption is unavailable. Please help! Anybody!Confirming my suspicions with every passing hour. Support on this forum is non-existent like the support from Apple support. But, you got my money now... why would you care?

Just upgraded to iPhoto 11 and have a major problem!
Can anyone assist me please. I have just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and once I loaded it and tried to organise my photo collection, the system informed me that my iPhoto needed to be upgraded to iPhoto 11.
I purchased the upgrade and when I loaded Adobe PSE9 'Organiser' I received an error message box which states that I have an
e-licenser Control Error. Specifically it states that 'Halion Sonic 1.x M6' has caused the following error:
elicenser(s) contains no valid license for this application.
It then gives me the following options:
- For Trouble shooting options click 'Help'
- Click <Licences> to view available licenses
- Connect a valid eLicenser and click <retry>
- Click <cancel> to abort.
I do have an elicense for Halion products that I use with Cubase 6. I am not sure why a software for my music studio should conflict with PSE9 and prevent the software from organising my photographs from iPhoto.
Even if I remove the Adobe software from my iMAC the iPhoto 11 upgrade will not load any of my photos that were originally on the system
Please can anyone offer me some advice as I have tried all of the above options without success.
StrummerleeYour question is not clear
Can anyone assist me please. I have just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and once I loaded it and tried to organise my photo collection, the system informed me that my iPhoto needed to be upgraded to iPhoto 11.
How were you organizing your photo collection? You are aware that make any changes to the content or structure of the iPhoto library will corrupt your library and cause data loss
As to informing you that you needed to upgrade to iPhoto '11 - I do not believe that that ever happens - you may be notified that your library has been upgraded and you need an upgrade - this can be caused by library corruption (like moving or modifying files within the iPhoto library using the finder or a program other than iPhoto) - I'm not clear but it could possibly be related to your organizing your photos
You then go into s discussion of PSE9, Halion and Cubase 6 - all not Apple products and not iPhoto related - hat questions would best be addressed in the support forums for those products
Even if I remove the Adobe software from my iMAC the iPhoto 11 upgrade will not load any of my photos that were originally on the system
this depends on exactly what you did to "organize" your photos - I'm guessing that you have destroyed your iPhoto library and will have to start over but need more information to be sure
Do you have a backup of your iPhoto library from just before you "organized" your photos?

Upgrading to iPhoto 6 from iPhoto 4, any problem?
I have iPhoto 4, and I want to upgrade to iPhoto 6. Is there any problem with skipping from 4 to 6?
I do plan to back everything up before I do any upgrading. Actually after backing up, I may erase some of the photos from my internal hd. I have over 6000 and iPhoto is seeming a little sluggish, hopefully eliminating some photos will help.
Any advice before I do this is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.To have a V5 library you would have had to buy iLIfe 054 and install it so I don't think it is a V5 library.
Go into the iPhoto Library folder and open the Originals folder. There should be subfolders in there representing each roll in the library. Check to see if there are any subfolders, if they contain files and that those files are full sized files.
If they are and it seem your files are there but just not getting seen by iPhoto there are a couple of routes you can take:
1 - run iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild your library. This sill create a new library by copying the files and data it need from your old library to the new one. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
2 - the second option is to copy the Originals folder from the existing library folder to the desktop. Then move that library folder to the trash. Now launch iPhoto and when it tells you it cannot find a library select the new library option. Now drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto library window to import. That should get you a library with the same rolls (but probably different roll dates but those can be edited) but no keywords, albums, etc. -

How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?
How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?
My home network is used both by my macbook and my wife's windows pc. Considering that, I would like to know if we can share our pictures with each other (specially because I intend to store all of them into a NAS storage - WD My Cloud, probably).No you can not - neither iPhoto nor Aperture has any cross platform capability
You can share photos with the PC using MyPhotoStream or Shared PhotoStreames
You can not share the iPhoto library
And you can not put the iPHoto library on a NAS - it MUST always be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and mube on a fast wired local connection - it can not be on a Network
There are Digital Asset Managers that can do what you want - iPhoto and Aperture can not

I recetly upgraded to iPhoto 9.5 and find that the "burn" function is not available. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so, what did you find? I know that one can burn from the "FInder" but I still want to burn in the iPhoto format.
It's been removed as Apple is no longer adding optical drives to it's computers. So to burn photos (not iPhoto compatible mini libraries) to a disk you need to export them to a folder on the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export and burn that folder to disk via the Finder.
iPhoto 9.5 will not natively read disks created by previous versions.
The following is from this Apple document which describes how to convert the mini libraries on those disks so iPhoto can view them: iPhoto 9.5: Using iPhoto libraries saved to CD or DVD
iPhoto 9.5: Using iPhoto libraries saved to CD or DVD
Learn how to use iPhoto libraries that you saved to CD or DVD in earlier versions of iPhoto.
In iPhoto 9.5 you can use an earlier iPhoto library that you saved to CD or DVD. To do this, first copy the library to your hard drive. Then:
If your iPhoto library on your CD or DVD was created in iPhoto 8.0 or later, iPhoto 9.5 can upgrade your library when you double-click to open it.
If your iPhoto library on your CD or DVD was created in iPhoto 7.0 or earlier, you will first need to use the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool to prepare it for iPhoto 9.5.
UPDATE: Just went thru the process and the iPhoto Library Upgrader converted the library into a working library that iPhoto could open. However, if you want to import any of those photos into your working library you'll have to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy the Events or album you want from the converted library into your working library. An extra 2 steps that we didn't have to do previously.

Have been using Lightroom on my Apple computer for years. Now, ever since upgrading to Apple's Yosemite operating system I get an error message (150:30) every time I try to open a lightroom file. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Also how do I subscribe to Adobe's Premium Support? Every time I've tried (through contact support) I just get taken on an unending loop.
I think we need a lot more information.
Exactly what does the message say?
Exactly what files are you trying to open?
Exactly how are you trying to open them (what menu command or button or mouse action or keyboard shortcut)?
And lastly, what version of Lightroom are you using? -

I just upgraded to iPhoto '11. When it was finished many pictures do not appear. I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there. Some are raw and some are jpeg. Also lost all albums. Can anyone offer assistance? Using iOS 10.7.5
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Just upgraded and iPhoto said it has to upgrade library but keeps freezing. Have tried it too many times now and I need those photos ASAP HELP!!
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

hi-i just installed "lion" and have"ilife09"would like to upgrade to ilife 11 is there a "package that has g/band, iPhoto & i movie-all in one as a complete upgrade(and is it cheaper in a "package") or do i have to install each one three separately?
Aarrggghhhh, you in Australia, gotcha!
Merchandise prices are in U$D on all links I posted.
Amazon does shipping globally - see more here for AU shipping rates (in U$D)
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-11/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&q id=1311468383&sr=8-1
You can sign up for an account with them, being the largest online retailer in the world, they take all major credit cards and/or PayPal account as well.
If I were you, Id do some research on Australian online stores for iLife package before going with Amazon, maybe you could find it cheaper there. But given the bad shape the US Dollar has been in, you might also get a better deal with Amazon, because U$D is so dirt cheap these days!
I got my iLife 11 on Amazon. I buy Apple hardware on Apple's refurbished store, parts on OWC, and software on Amazon -
With the latest upgrade to iPhoto, Keywords no longer display under the photo, even when Display Keywords is turned on. Does anyone know why?
Keywords have been moved into the Info tray at the right. Don't know why it was changed. You can send a request to change it back to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
