I can't open my iPhoto...

I got this message saying: "You made changes to your Photo Library using a newer version of iPhoto. Quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
How do I do that? Right now when I click open iPhoto, there is a message telling me to upgrade and when I click on "upgrade", the above message shows up.

Thank you, Andrew, for trying to help me. I just ran the software update and still, I can't open my iPhoto without seeing those two messages.
Thats odd. If you ran software update there is no way you should be on OS 10.5.6. If you have run all your updates you should be at version 10.5.8. I suggest you check again. If nothing is appearing, download the combo updater and run that. Then when it reboots repair prvilages with Disk Utility and check Software Update again.

I just installed iLife on my new Imac version 10.8.2 and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says that I Photo is damaged or incomplete. What do I do to restore my iPhoto and pictures!

I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says it is damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures? I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!

I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated. Software update usually takes care of it. It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version. I've not tried that.
You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto. Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store. That is the version you need. You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
good luck.
PS. your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder. don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder.

Hi,
I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
Exit Code 15
OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
I tried the adobe removal tool
removing all copies of adobe software manually
installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
/Library/Application Supports/Adobe
They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
Cheers,
Smokey

I can't open my iPhoto - tells me to use the new version

i can't open my iPhoto!
this the message that i get
"You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
I have iPhoto 4 on my G4 at home. I tried transferring some burned photos from my G4 labtop (running on iPhoto 5) and this was the message i got. I tried everything from the update downloads to deleting the pics from iPhoto 5. I still can't open my iPhoto.
Just had a baby girl and it's driving me nuts because I can't access my photo library.
Please Help ... desperate new dad!

Hi, Gary. If the CD you burned in iPhoto 5 is still in your computer, eject it and see whether that makes any difference.
If you copied the contents of that CD to your hard drive in such a way that there is now an iPhoto Library folder anywhere on your hard drive which was created by iPhoto 5 rather than iPhoto 4, trash that folder and empty the trash. Then try opening iPhoto 4 again.
When you burn a CD from within iPhoto, it creates an iPhoto Library folder on the CD. That library folder is specific to the version of iPhoto that created it. If an older version of iPhoto finds such a folder anywhere within its reach, it tries — and fails — to open that folder instead of its own library folder, and then puts up the error message you've seen.
In the future, if you transfer photos from a computer that contains a newer version of iPhoto than your own, it will be safer to export the photos from the newer version of iPhoto to a folder on that other computer's hard drive, then burn a cd containing the photos from the Finder, rather than from within iPhoto. That way the disc won't contain anything your own version of iPhoto can mistake for its iPhoto Library.

All of a sudden I can't open my iPhoto library. I get a message that says "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. It takes me to this page. Bought MacBook Pro 11/2012. Don't have a clue as to version of IPhoto

Is this library one that you've been using since you bought the MBP? If so and you're running iPhoto 9 then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
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.

I can't open my iphoto. When I click on it the screen opens but will not load.

I can't open my iphoto. When I click on it it opens the screen but will not load. Can't see any of my pictures. HELP!

It's Iphoto '11 version 9.2.1

HT202358 can't open my iPhoto it says i need the upgrader did that and it still won't open.

can't open my iPhoto it says i need the upgrader did that and it still won't open.

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.
Regards

Are you trying to open it from the Dock? If so, try opening it directly from the Applications folder. Any change?

I can not open my Iphoto library it says it is either used by another application or has become unreadabe. I shut down and restart an then open Iphoto again but nothing is their.

These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
2. Repair or rebuild the library.
3. Scavenge the library with iPhoto Library Manager independently of iPhoto (Library ▹ Rebuild). Books, calendars, and slideshows won't be preserved.

I installed Mavericks a few days ago and downloaded all the available updates, which installed correctly (or so it says). Now I can't open my iPhoto app because it says it's being updated. Any suggestions?

There are two ways to recover from this condition.
1. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. Stop or resume the download.
2. Open LaunchPad and find the icon of the app you're trying to install. There will be a small progress bar below it. Click the "X" to stop the download.
