The iPhoto Library Upgrader tool doesn't work. I've downloaded it, and follow the directions, but iPhoto still won't open.

Your Library is damaged.
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.
As for goign back: do you have an undamaged library?

My home button doesn't work very well, I reset and restored my Ipod but it still doesn't work

I've had this 4th gen. IPod since about mid-June, and it worked fine up until about a month ago. The home button doesn't work very well, and by that I mean if I'm in an app and hit the button once, it won't respond, or it'll think I hit it twice. If I hit the button twice, it either won't respond, or it will think I hit it once. I took it to the Apple store where they reset it. They said that if that didn't work, then to restore it. Well since resetting it didn't work, I restored it, and that didn't work either. I've had the same generation IPod before and never had this problem. Any advice?

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

HT1725 I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play. I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it. I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play. HELP!

I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play. I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it. I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play. HELP!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your phone and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it, or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library. Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library. With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder. This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

I can't open i tunes, I've followed the instructions given on this site but it still won't open

I can't open I tunes, I've folowed the instructions given on this site but it still won't open. Any alternative suggestions?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Storeand turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

I cannot get firefox to run after I downloaded it and followed the directions on the download page.

I have downloaded firefox and followed the directions to get it running, i.e.
1. drop the icon into the applications folder.
2. click on the icon to access firefox.
Nothing happens. Browser doesn't open up.
The icon I get after the download is much larger than the typical icon on a Mac.

I tried your suggestion of pressing the shift key while launching Firefox. What happened is, this action highlighted in blue several icons on my desktop including Windows Internet Explorer.It then preceded to open Windows Internet Explorer. It was worth a try. I tried the control key while trying to launch FireFox and that did not do anything.

I'm trying to put one of my dreamweaver projects on the creative cloud so that i can work on it at home and at the office. can't figure it out!Adobe Creative Cloud

If you're a Windows user, you should have a Creative Cloud folder listed under your name in Windows Explorer. The image below shows where the folder is when I view Explorer.
if you don't see this, open up the Creative Cloud application manager, click on the Assets tab, and then the Open Folder button. This will open the folder where you can place files to be synced across your Creative Cloud account on each computer that's actively logged in.

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

HT5037 What is the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool? Should not need it, because installed Photo 9.5.1 three days ago, AND my iphoto will not open. The message says if I have v8.x or later, I don't need this tool.

Why is my iPhoto 9.5.1 blocked?
Message on pop up screen says I need the Library Upgrader tool, when in the very discription of it: "If your library is from iPhoto (v8.x) or later, you don't need to use this tool."

What version of iPhoto did you have prior to upgrading to iPhoto 9.5.1? The following is from this download page: iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1
This tool prepares libraries from iPhoto 7 or earlier so they can be upgraded with the current version of iPhoto.
So if you previous version of iPhoto was 7 or earlier you need to download (it installs in the Applications/Utilities folder), launch and apply it to your iPhoto Library before opening the library with iPhoto 9.5.1.

Recovering iphoto library: rebuilding database doesn't work

My iphoto-library runs on an external HDD (using a MBP 256 SSD). It contains 38.000 photos, lots of albums and projects (photo albums) and a week ago it crashed. I accidentally removed the hdd while using iphoto. This happened to me before and with a simple recovery (update library. 'Werk bij' in Dutch. I work with a Dutch version) it was back.
But now my library is completely gone. I tried recovering my library by using 'option+command'. It recovered my photos, but not my settings. See the screen print. No albums and projects...
My masters, previews and projects (photo albums) are all there (in finder).
Does anybody have a solution for my problem? How do I recover my setting/iphoto library?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried Repair Disk?
Connect the external drive and open Disk Utility from your main drive. (Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility)
In DU, select the external drive, then First Aid and click Repair Disk.
Good luck.

Lion upgrade prohibits second i-Mac machine from downloading email and surfing the net???

I upgraded to Lion this evening, trusting that that all the updates would have resolved the wireless connection problem i had when upgrading to Lion 2 months back. No hope, both my I-Macs can see one another and i can share files across the two of them. My main Mac connects to the Internet by Wireless Modem; this modem is attached to my mac by Ethernet cable. My second Mac could connect to my main Mac and use the Internet connection to download email and surf the net.
Now i have upgraded to Lion on my main machine, but the same problem occurs, my second machine can connect with Wi-Fi to my main machine but cannot get access to the net or download, and this was working fine until i upgraded from Leopard to Lion.
I have created a new network, unpluged the modem, switched on again,tried everything i could find in the forums, but i still cannot connect to the net on my second machine.
Please help, unfortunately Apple support in Africa is not very helpfull.

So you're not using a wireless connection for your main Mac? Is that correct?
If I understand correctly, your main Mac is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, and your 'second' Mac is connected to your 'main' mac wirelessly. is that correct?
If so, why not connect the 2nd Mac wirelessly direct to your router?
