I can not open iPhoto.  I have many photos and have used the program many times. What is happening?

iphoto installed, up to date and has been in use with no problems.  Now the icon still appears on the dock but I am unable to open the program. Nothing happens when I click the icon.  Help! 

You will also need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before you open it with the new iPhoto 9.5.1 version.

  • I can not open iPhoto, are all my pictures lost?

    I used iPhoto just yesturday, but today when I went to open it it would not open and instead showed a question mark where the application is in my dock. I am very worried that if I can not open iPhoto all of my pictures will be lost. My main concern is not necesarliy getting iPhoto to work but retreaving my pictures. They are very importnt to me.
    Thanks to who ever can help

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    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 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.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • I can not open iphoto on my imac..  somebody knows why?

    I have iphoto on my imac, but i cna`t use it anymore.. i can not open iphoto and i don`t know what happened?? Somebody  know something about this problem?

    With the lack of information this is only a guess: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I can not open iphoto and itune anymore

    anyone knows why i can not open iphoto and itune anymore/

    I have rerun the applications install dvd, but it has not corrected the fault. When I try to open iphoto's I have an error message that says You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    Peter,
    the version you installed from the DVD is probably older than the version you used last with your library, so you need to update to the last version you used.
    I have tried to update to the latest iphoto 11 but it wont download. Any answers please.
    Where are you trying to download from? When you upgrade a version that is installed from the DVD, you need to update from the Software Update menu entry in the Apple-menu.
    Also, iPhoto has to be called simply "iPhoto", not iPhoto '11 or something similar and to be installed in the Applications folder. Otherwise it will not be recognised by the updater.
    Regards
    Léonie

    Hello Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a problem in Java I can not open files, audio chat, which type of jnlp after the last update of the Java 2012-004
    Please help me in solving this problem. 

    Make sure Java is enable in your browser's security settings.
    Open Java Preferences (in Utilities folder)
    Make sure Web-start applications are enabled.
    Drag Java 32-bit to the top of the list.
    jnlp isn't an audio file format. It's just a java web-start program (Java Network Launching Protocol).

  • I CAN NOT open Iphoto with the new Mavericks????

    I can not open Iphoto with the new Mavericks, I changed Dutch for English but stil nothing ....

    Hi Kevertjes,
    Thank you for the update.  I recommend verifying that you are signed in with the same Apple ID associated with or used to purchase iPhoto on the App Store under the Store menu. 
    If you are signed in with an alternate Apple ID, I recommend signing out of the App Store, signing back in with the correct Apple ID, and then trying the update again:
    Sign out
    Choose Store > Sign Out.
    Sign in using an Apple ID
    Choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In in the Quick Links section. The Quick Links section is located in the right part of the window shown when you click Featured, Top Charts, or Categories in the toolbar.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, and then click Sign In.
    Mac App Store: Sign in and out
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11499
    All the best,
    Sheila M.

    can not open iPhoto, message telling me that i need to upgrade

    What iPhoto are you referring to?  The one on your Mac or on your mobile device?  If on your Mac what system and iPhoto versions are you running? What happens when you try to launch iPhoto?  Any message pops up? What are they?

  • I can not open Iphoto, my library crashed!!!

    I can not open Iphoto, my library seens to be curruted. I tried to use option command function but nothing happens. I just can see that it is trying to update the software, step 1 of 11. Please can someone help me?

    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.

  • I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number.  We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill.  How can I remove their numbers and add mine?

    Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

    CC and CC2014 are the current versions of Photoshop.  CC stands for Creative Cloud.
    That being cleared up, a respectful request:
    Topic or subject titles should be clear, pertinent and concise so that individual users can tell at a glance if they can help or not.
    That field is not for attempting to fit your entire question in there.

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

    How is this possible? I have no photos and have never used iphoto and the program is up to date. I try to import and drop my pictues into iphoto but nothing happens or I get above statement. Help please!

    Then it's a bogus message and indicates that the default library is damaged.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and use that one.
