Why not? We can not see you so you have to give us details
Did you run the iPhoto Library upgrader after you installed it - if not backup your iphoto library and go to the utilities folder in your Applications folder and double click on the iphoto library upgrader and RUN i - then launch iphoto 9.6 to complete the upgrade

  • Just bought Snow leopard 10.6.3 and upgraded my 2008 iMAC; now want to use the free upgrade to Maverick... is that possible? I read compatibility requirement of 10.6.8 or later...

    Hi! Just bought Snow leopard 10.6.3 and upgraded my 2008 iMAC; now want to use the free upgrade to Mavericks like I was advised in the Apple/Switch store... is that possible? I read compatibility requirement of 10.6.8 or later...???? Thanks for any guidance!

    Before installation you should back up all your data.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iCloud system requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

    Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
    Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.

    Thx Leonie,
    Surprisingly, I just went to the crash reporter and there were no reports re: the iPhoto issue. This is the only report I found, which I not sure is related to the iPhoto issue:

    As for the TimeCapsule indeed, I use it as an extended drive but I'm surprised it would be considered a FAT-32 formatted drive as this is an Apple device.
    I asked the apple reps if I could use the TimeCapsule for such purpose and no one raised a concern. It's also surprising that I didn't have an issue with this prior to the upgrade to OS X Yosemite.
    Having said the above, thank you for your help - if the TimeCapsule is indeed the issue, perhaps I can solve the issue by transferring the iphoto library to an OS extended hard drive.

  • I have imported a color picture and trying to use the adjustment brush to turn the background black and white and it isn't working.  I have Lightroom 5.  Any suggestions?

    Hello - I have Lightroom 5.  I have imported a color photo.  I am trying to use the Adjustment Brush to change the background to Black and White and leave a portion of the photo in color.  When I begin painting the photo with the Saturation at -100 I don't see any changes to the photo.  I push the "O" key and still nothing.  I have tried to reset the photo, restarted Lightroom and still nothing.  Please help.

    Set Flow and Density of the brush to 100
    Reduce it where you want the effect to blend.

  • I am running a laptop with windows 7 on it and trying to use the save as feature in Photoshop CS6 and won't let me save as anything. Please help?

    I am running a laptop with windows 7 and am trying to use the save as feature in Photoshop CS6 and it wont let me save as anything. Can someone please help me with this?

    A screenshot of your Photoshop work area showing the open file you want to save as, the Layers panel open, and the Save as... dialog open might give us a clue as to what is going on.
    To take a screenshot and save it as a file
    For Windows 7, Printscreen, open a New File in Photoshop, Ctrl v to paste, then save as jpeg (the other trick was for windows 8)
    Use the Camera icon on your reply to upload it.
    Also File > Save for Web is a good workaround if you just need a jpeg, png, or gif.

  • I had a disc of pictures in my imac and tried to update the software to 10.9, after realizing the disc was in there i ejected it and now its stuck on the os x page. any info of how to get away from that screen and onto my normal pages?

    i tried to update my software to 10.9 and forgot i had a disc of pictues in the computer. i stopped the istall as it was trying to go onto the disc of pictures. now its stuck on the os x page and i cant get it to my home screen. can anyone help?

    I'm not really sure what you mean by "the os x page". It sounds like the installation did not complete.
    I would try this:
    hold down the power button until the computer shuts down
    take out the disk with the pictures!
    restart and see if it will boot up
    if it boots up normally, I'd probably try to repair your HD: Boot into your recovery partition (hold down ⌘R at restart until you see the Apple symbol), go to Disk Utility, and repair your hard drive. While you're there, repair permissions too. OSX Tips Using the Recovery HD
    Then I'd try to reboot and run the installer again. I think it's a good idea to do the installation in safe mode : Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? .
    if it won't boot up normally, I'd try booting from the recovery partition and repairing your HD.
    if it won't boot into the recovery partition, your options are:
    Try to repair your hard drive with internet recovery: OS X: About OS X Recovery
    If you have access to another (working) Mac and a USB thumb drive, download Recovery Disk Assistant, which you can use to repair your hard drive or reinstall OSX: OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant
    Try to boot into single user mode and repair your hard drive: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh

  • Laptop died and trying to use the hard drive as an external

    Hello,
    I'm new to this forum and did a search, but couldn't find the answer to my problem. I was using a Dell laptop with a Toshiba hard drive. I'm not sure what the model number is, but I think it's hdd2193.
    At any rate, the laptop died (it stopped accepting power, nothing to do with the hard drive) but it died with some files on it that I need. Everywhere I looked on the web, it said that all you need to do when this happens is get an external enclosure and plug it in.
    I did this and when I plug it in, Windows XP asks me to format my drive! It recognizes it is there, but won't access any of the files.
    After some research, somebody informed me that certain Toshiba hard drives are locked to the laptop they came from, and as a result, might not work in an external hard drive enclosure. I need to know if this is the case, and if so, what I can do about it. If this is not the case, then I need to know why it's asking me to format, and how I can access my files. (If necessary, what data recovery program I could use to get my data off of it.)
    Keep in mind that there was NOTHING wrong with the hard drive when I pulled it out of the laptop, and I was very careful about disconnecting and connecting it, so I don't believe the hard drive is corrupted. I think there is something else that's wrong, perhaps even the external hard drive enclosure.
    Thanks a lot for any help you can give.

    MK4026GAX is the model number.  That makes it a 40gig IDE 2.5" 9.5mm 5400RPM internal laptop hard drive.
    That enclosure is one that is well known to have problems.  I would say that the problem is with the enclosure personally, but without having it here to test I can only be about 90% certain of that.  But since it draws it's power from the USB port I would have to lean in that direction. Comments on the Newegg site, along with comments I have read elsewhere show that the problem you are having is well known to happen with that enclosure though.  If you can try plugging it into a POWERED USB hub or directly into one of the motherboards USB ports.  Those normally supply more power than the USB ports mounted on the front of the case.  Also, do NOT use a USB extension cord as they tend to cause issues with these types of USB powered enclosures.  I normally use one of these to retrieve data from hard drives. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0285941  I've found them to be much more reliable and easier to use than an enclosure for temporary use.  I've yet to have a working drive that it won't work with.  Plus it works with ALL SATA and IDE hard drives from laptops and desktops. 
    I know for a fact that it isn't a FAT file system, as that only recognizes hard drive partitions up to 2gigs in size.  If it's Windows XP it's either FAT32 or NTFS.  Since both systems have XP then it wouldn't matter as XP supports both.  I have no idea about the Mac as I don't use them (they aren't reliable enough and too many limitations to be usefull to me). 
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

    I would like to add to the comments with a few questions and suggestion for you to consider along with the rest.
    1. At this point, do you have a purchased serial number in hand? If so, I would imagine that you could repeat the download making sure that you have designated the correct computer operating system, and, when asked for a purchased serial number, type in the one that you have before you.
    2. If the situation has gotten out of control and confusing, then best discuss your status with Adobe Chat for starters. The following link should be helpful for that purpose.

  • Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

    I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

    Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.

    You have also tried resetting the PRAM as I suggestion in your other thread...?
    See resetting the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6. Release the keys.
