I'm using OS Extended 10.9.5. I don't know what the original version of iPhoto was.

Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
If that still doesn't work, try this:
Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
Hope this helps.

IPhoto won't open even after running library upgrader

I upgraded to Yosemite.
When I received the prompt " To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.", I did that (several times) but I continue to receive the prompt.
I deleted my iPhoto preference file - com.apple.iphoto.plist - and tried again, no luck.
I deleted iPhoto and installed the application anew, no luck.
If I MOVE my iPhoto library out of my Pictures folder, I could create a NEW iPhoto library - but I don't want to do that.
Help?

Did you go to your Applications/Utilities folder and find the upgrader there? Then double click on it to run it?
If I MOVE my iPhoto library out of my Pictures folder, I could create a NEW iPhoto library - but I don't want to do that.
No need to move anything: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

IPhoto won't open, even after 3 re-installations.

My problem is fairly simple; iPhoto refuses to open. I have installed iLife '09 three times because of this, and each time it makes no difference. It hangs for awhile and then offers to relaunch, close, or send a report to Apple. Not really sure what to do at this point.. If it helps, I have a Macbook Pro from early 2008(I think) running Leopard. I've updated everything as of yesterday.

I tried this, and it didn't open on the other account either. Exact same error message. Here's a copy of it:

ITunes doesn't open, even after download of iTunes 7

So I had iTunes 6.5 or whatever and it stopped working... Everytime I'd try to open it, it said "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." So I downloaded the new iTunes 7 and after installation it automatically opened and worked fine, but when I closed it and tried to open it again, it didn't work and said the same message. I've updated all my virus software and Windows Update... so I don't know what can be stopping it.
Windows XP

Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)
Then I uninstalled iTunes & Quicktime
Restarted Machine
Reinstalled iTunes (which reinstalls Quicktime as well)
Opend iTunes to make sure it worked (it did), then closed it.
Copied all of the original files back over to their original locations.
Restarted iTunes
Everything appears to be back to normal (iPhone sync works properly as well)
Hope this helps for anyone else seeking an answer!

ITunes 11.1.1 won't open even after OS update. Is there something ELSE I'm missing?

After I updated my iTunes to 11.1.1, it wouldn't open. I found something on these forums that had a link to an OS update to fix the problem. Downloading and installing the OS update took nearly 24 hours, and iTunes still won't open. Is there something else I'm missing?

first of all you want to back up all music files before you uninstall itunes. if mavericks wont let you uninstall itunes then right click on itunes in your applications folder, then get info, then go to the bottom and change all permissions to read and write. then close and try to uninstall and reinstall. if that doesnt work then this does :
open apps, go to utilities, open terminal and cut and paste or type in these 3 commands, hitting return after each one.
(first type) killall iTunes
(then hit return)
(then type) killall "iTunes Helper"
(then hit return)
(then type) sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
(and hit return)
after the last one you will be warned and asked to enter your password. do it.
once completed you will see on your itunes icon with a ? shadow inside it.
drag it off the dock and it goes poof.
then download itunes from apple.
if they wont let you download 11.1.5 itunes then use 10.7 Download it from Apple here.
and then install and upgrade to 11.1.5 from there. this is the method i used when my itunes just bounced after installing mavericks. it takes only minutes and your itunes will be as right as rain. enjoy.

Adobe reader won't open, even after re-download

adobe reader won't open because of error - NEED PDF READER NOW!!!!!!!!!

The reason is Adobe has not updated there software yet to play well with Mavericks. The fault is of course with the Adobe Software. I suggest you go to there web site and see if they have a fix yet for there software, If not all you can do is continue to check back with them or get on there fourms and see what others have to say about this same issue.

Itunes won't open, even after reintallation

itunes just quit working. I uninstalled, shut down the PC, then reinstalled. It all looks good during installation...the wizard works fine, but when you try to launch you get nothing. It won't open from the shortcut on the desktop, or the program list. I don't seem to have any problems with any of the other programs on the PC...just itunes. I've googled the problem and tried those suggestions. Thanks for any help.

Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)
Then I uninstalled iTunes & Quicktime
Restarted Machine

Previously running CS4 won't open, even after script clean and reinstall

I can't get in!....
Seems like a license issue.
After trying all (7) of the fixes in kb405970 recommended by Adobe tech support, I was unable to get access to my previously working CS4 Production Suite products. I removed the entire program and ran CS4 Clean Script for Macintosh, then reinstalled Production Suite.
Now, when I try to get into any of the products, i get a registration screen that accepts my VALID and REGISTERED (from the Adobe Registration site) CS4 Prod Suite serial number, and NOTHING happens. No programs open.I can't get any response from Adobe tech support for the last 10 days. Case has been open since October 18. I'm just diving into asking for help in a forum.
HELP! Please

I had this problem yesterday, actually. You can solve it, but you will lose all firefox data you didn't back up. Then again, because you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I assume this isn't an issue.
Assuming you've installed windows on the C drive:
Go to C://Users/yourname/AppData
If you cant find it, go to your display settings (I hope I translated this correct; I use the Dutch version of Windows) and make sure that hidden files and filders are not being... well, hidden. Shocking plottwist, I know.
If all goes well, you should now see three folders named Local, Localrow and Roaming.
Now go to Roaming > Mozilla > Firefox and delete everything thats in there. Now you have an empty FireFox folder, which will force Firefox to start up as if it was never installed before.
Done! :)
P.S. Now that you have a fresh new install, save yourself a lot of future pain and install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync Xmarks] for your bookmarks and [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager LastPass] for your passwords. These add-ons will keep your data safely on their servers, where it is yours to backup and download anywhere in the world.
Also, if you have about three milion add-ons and personas/themes and you don't want to hunt hem down again everytime you reïnstall Windows or buy a new system, get [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/febe FEBE] to save a copy of them for you. And if you really want to backup like a pro, install [https://www.dropbox.com/ DropBox] (not an addon) and tell FEBE to store its files there, so you can still retrieve them if your house happens to burn down.
Xmarks, LastPass and FEBE: the holy trinity of Firefox backups :P

ITunes won't open even after reinstall

Since October 1, 2012 when I clicked on desktop icon to open/launch iTunes it will not. I did nothing different, nothing has changed or been modified on my computer.

PLEASE HELP!!
I am so frustrated and about to just give up and deal with the fact I won't have iTunes again

Hi Kacey,
I suspect that somewhere in all of this your iTunes library database got removed. Here is my usual approach...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (inside your main iTunes folder) should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
If I've misunderstood the situation please provide more details and I will do my best to help.

Indesign CS5.5 won't open/start after a recent windows 8 update -- how to fix?

I just had a Windows 8 auto update happen and then my Indesign CS5.5 won't open/start. When I go to open it, it gets to the usual screen but then an error message shows up saying that Windows has encountered a problem and needs to shut the program down, and will notify me if a solution exists. What to do?

Do you see anything useful in the Event Viewer logs? Have you tired rebooting? Does it start if you log in with a different username?

Appleworks won't open even after reinstall

Okay folks, this one has me stumped. First, I'm working on my G4. I have two user accounts, a business account and a 'fun' account. My 'fun' account is my 'home' account, if that matters. Here is the problem: Appleworks stopped opening on my business account. All I get is the spinning wheel of death and I have to force quit. I have tried reinstalling Appleworks on both the 'fun' account (where it still works flawlessly) and on the 'business' account, where I still get the spinning wheel of death. During my last round of battle with this problem, I reinstalled AW on my home account, then put the new AW icon in the 'Shared' file, thinking this might solve the problem. No luck. Any help would be appreciated.

You have run into the "Recent Items bug" & it has been around since AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000. It can make it appear that AppleWorks has frozen or failed to launch. The recent items are stored for each user which is why one user may be affected but not others. The user tip by Dale Gillard, AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?, explains a lot.

I just installed PSE 11 and my raw files won't open. They opened in 10 but not with 11?

I just installed PSE 11 and there is no camera raw. PSE 10 worked fine. Any help?

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

ITUNES 7 Still won't open, even after trying solutions from other topics

I have tried the following things:
Uninstall/Reinstall
Quicktime as a stand alone
Virus protection off
Trying to start Itunes with a CD
System Reboot.
None of these things have worked. Can anyone help me.

Okay,
I HAVE FOUND A WORKAROUND
This is definitely not a solution, and Apple needs to address this problem immediately, but this will do it until they pull the proverbial lead out of their proverbial apple-holes...
Right-click on the iTunes shortcut, and select "Run As"
Run it as a different user, such as Administrator. If you do not have any other users, go to Control Panel > Users and make a new user.
If you run it as a different user, it seems to work fine...
Note: The iTunes Music Library is different per user, so you may need to import all of your music again

I had original iPhoto app from 2007, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater. My pictures are lost in the abyss.
