IPhoto 08 Not Launching After Install

I tried to install the new iLife '08 Suite on my 17 ' iMac G5 (1.5 GB RAM) as an upgrade to the very old iLife 05 suite that came with my iMac. All of the applications seem to work except two --- iWeb and iPhoto. iPhoto just bounces in the dock and then nothing else happens. I've tried holding down the option key to select a library (chosing old iPhoto library did nothing) and also tried creating a new library (which did nothing). Other "remedies" I've tried are deleting the iPhoto app and reinstalling, deleting the whole iLife 08' Suite and reinstalling, repairing disc permissions and reinstalling, deleting preference files and relaunching as well as deleting old receipt package files before reinstalling software. Just can't seem to get iPhoto to launch what-so-ever !?!? Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Hi TD !
Thanks for weighing in on my issue ! I ended up reinstalling the 10.4.10 Combo Updater, restarting the iMac and then was able to successfully launch both iPhoto and iWeb (which I could not previously).
Something in the system must have gotten deleted or corrupted and the reinstall must have fixed it is all that I can figure !
Have a great day !

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
"There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks for the ideas!

IPhoto does not launch after installed Maverick OS X

I have many problem after I installed Maverick in my MacBook 2009. I can not launch iPhoto, my iPhone can not get wi-fi and I can only open 1 tab in Safari.
iPhoto said "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable.
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup."
Please somebody can help me!!!!!!!!!!

Hi and welcome to discussions. You have posted in the Tiger 10.4 forum, running Leopard 10.5 and have an issue with iPhoto. Maybe posting in the iPhoto forum area would get you faster responses.

I finally broke down and purchased iLife 09 primarily to update iphoto. after install it did not update.
any help for me out there?
Any more information for us out there? Any error messages, strange things,etc, etc, etc. Telling someone that it did not work is not much to go on
I guess one answer is to do it again correctly - but then that would be about as useful as your question was

IPhoto not working after installing Yosemite

After installing Yosemite the iPhoto icon on the dock has a circle/line symbol superimposed. Get a message saying iPhoto needs to be updated, but when I try to update I get "Update unavailable for this Apple ID." (I have used my current Apple ID at least since 2011, and have used it to update iPhoto previously.)

Right, App Store Support solved my problem.(iPhoto & iMovie were packaged with my iMac when I bought it. Upgrading from Mountain Lion to Yosemite wiped that out, and these apps did not show up in my purchased list. This would not have happened if Maverick had been installed prior to Yosemite.)

ITunes 10.7 will not launch after installing the OS 10.6.8 security update 2012-004

This evening I installed the Mac OS 10.6.8 security update 2012-004. I'm posting this to see if others have the same problem, plus to find out if there's a way to uninstall a security update.
All was fine before the update, but now iTunes 10.7 won't launch as it quits unexpectedly and gives me a Problem Report to send to Apple (which was sent).
iTunes will also not launch while logged in under other users. I tried rebooting.
My iMac cannot be updated past OS 10.6.8. I can't live without iTunes.
Let me know If I should post more system info.
Thanks for the help,
Carl.

You could try downgrading iTunes to an older version?
Just drag the iTunes.app to the trash and reinstall an older version, you should be able to find one in the Support Downloads, this may fix your problem.
Note, iTunes 10.7 is needed for any devices with iOS 6

Why does iPhoto not launch after update to version 9.3.2?

Double clicking the application icon causes it to bounce 3 or 4 times in the dock and then quits. Trying to open with command + option will not launch for a rebuild. Holding down the option key illicits the same behavior.
How can I downgrade to 9.3.1 or make 9.3.2 work? It was working perfectly before the upgrade.
My other computer (a recent MacBook Pro) shows 9.3.1 version and software update shows it's up to date. It works great.

Still will not launch in new user account.
Downloaded a fresh copy of iPhoto 9.3.2 from Apple's website and updated. Did show error this time when it failed to launch.
Here it the short version.

ITunes or QuickTime will Not Launch after Install

I received my new iPhone 4 a few days ago & have tried & tried for the past days to make iTunes 10.6 work & also QuickTime 7.7.1. They both install but when I click on the desk top icon a few seconds pass and an Error Message appears for iTunes & QuickTime that says "iTunes or QuickTime has encountered a problem & needs to close". The "Error Signature" is as follows for the iTunes; AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 10.6.0.40 ModName: gdiplus.dll ModVer: 5.2.6002.22509 Offset: 0002 edde. I have installed/uninstalled til I'm sick. I have done the control panel Add/Remove in suggested sequence & also removed any leftovers from iTunes and QuickTime from my registry; still no iTunes or QuickTime 7.7.1. The only QuickTime that will install & work is version 7.1.6. I am running XP Home Edition, Service Pack 3. I need iTunes desperately for my new iPhone 4 !! Please Help !!

Thank you soooo much for explaining the gdiplus.dll error I was receiving. Before doing your recommended sfc /scannow procedure I did a little more browsing & found the FIX !!! The reason for iTunes not opening was the fault of a CORRUPTED FONT !! It has taken me all nite to go through a gazillion fonts that I have installed on my computer on a trial & error basis but I did find the FONT that was keeping iTunes from not launching; Dr.PoDecorCyr.ttf , I started out by choosing the larger size Font Files making a new folder on my desk top & taking away & adding back to Windows Font Folder in the Control Panel until I found the culprit. I hope this info will help others. In Windows XP go to Start Menu to Control Panel to Fonts. Again Thank You Muchly !

Lightroom CC will not launch after install

Hi, installed Lightroom CC today twice but it will not launch. I uninstalled it, restarted then reinstalled it. In task manager you can see it show up for a second then it disappears. I have LR 5, PS CS6, PS CC, PS CC2014. Anyone having issues?

Sign out worked when I did it correctly. Be sure to go to Preferences in Creative Cloud & click the blue Sign Out button. Then sign back on.

FCE4 will not launch after install

Hi All,
I have read through the forums and haven't seen my exact problem discussed, so I thought I'd throw it out there.
I just installed FCE4 on my iMac (2009 model), Snow Leopard 10.6.1, and I cannot get it to launch. Not even once. Other threads discuss a "launch once, then fail" problem. That's not what's happening here. This is a failure on first launch. When I click the icon, the splash screen appears, the FCE menu bar appears across the top of the screen, the info in the splash screen says it's loading various filters, widgets, and thingies. Then the splash screen and menu bar disappear and return me to my desktop. No error message, it just quits and goes away...
I have repaired permissions.
I have deleted and reinstalled the program.
I tried to delete the pref file, but because I have never been able to successfully launch the program, it doesn't exist yet.
I have tried creating other user accounts as talked about in other threads. Same problem.
I spoke to Apple Tech Support yesterday and after an hour or so, the best they could do was "Reformat your hard drive and do a clean OS install, then try it." I am trying to avoid that if possible. I have a current Time Machine backup, but am afraid I will screw something up.
Has anyone experienced this, or solved this problem.
BTW, I did an install on my MBP and it works fine so the media is good.
Thanks in advance!

I did the update to Snow Leopard.
I am not an admin user, however, I have tried installing as Admin, and on my standard account with Admin verification.
I looked for the preference file in library/preferences, there is nothing related to FCE4 there. There is a FCE4 folder in that directory it has no pref files. it did have a .obj(?) file, which I trashed per another thread's suggestion.
I don't think the program has ever gotten far enough to create the pref files.
I may have to do a clean install, but I was hoping someone would have a magic bullet.
I guess I may get to see if Time Machine really works....

Iphoto not working after installing snow leopard

My hardrive crashed while I was living in South America so I got the authorized mac dealership to put in a new one. Once I got back I was able to get all my photos and files from an external hardrive but I realized that my computer software was still 10.5.8. So I put in the Snow Leopard disk that I had bought because I realized that when they put in a new hardrive they didn't install Snow Leopard. After I installed Snow Leopard my iphoto now says "Caution The iPhoto Library folder is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I fix this? I called Mac and because I bought the computer in 2007 I do not have any applecare so that will cost me $60 and the mac authorized dealership told me to call them or buy the new iLife in hopes that the problem will be fixed.

See if one of the fixes in this topic helps: iPhoto becomes locked volume: Apple Support Communities

Windows 7 will not launch after installing itunes 11.1.5.

I initially tried updating itunes but it wouldn't so I uninstalled all Apple products in order per another post I found. Then reinstalled all products and itunes worked fine. I then shut down my computer for the night, then next day windows wouldn't launch. I did a system restore prior to the itunes update and windows works fine. I tried reinstalling itunes again and had the same problem. So now I don't have itunes installed. Anyone know how to get itunes to not prevent windows 7 from launching?

My MBP (15", early 2009 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB internal drive) showed in Software Update as not needing any other updates, and I downloaded from Apple's site directly and installed iTunes 11.1.5 rather than doing it via Software Update (I've had some glitches with the 'direct' install from SU in the past, so I manually download updates from Apple's support website instead).
Hoping Apple will figure out what's wrong with this version under 10.6.8...

IPhoto not loading after installing Mavericks

Hello, I have just took ownership of a secondhand macbook pro (october 2011 model - 15.4) ... it came complete with applecare and im very happy with it, it came set back to factory settings and ive installed the operating system that came inbuilt to the machine (osx7.5) .. however i have just updated to mavericks and the iPhoto is not functioning ..the camera icon has a line through it and when I go to update as suggested in the app. store the previous users Apple id name cannot be removed and it wont allow me to update it under my apple ID .. I am prepared to pay for this application but cant even buy or download it off apples site, any advise on how I can get iPhoto (the main reason for me buying a macbook) would be much appreciated
thanks for your time, Robert

Hi robertdurkin,
If you are having issues with the previous owner's software and/or Apple ID remaining on your new Mac, you may want to make sure that you did a full format and install of the OS. You may find the following article helpful:

CS4 Apps not launching after install

Hi,
I have an imac running OSX 10.5.6, with CS2 installed on it. This morning I received my CS4 upgrade discs. The installation ran without a problem. I opened CS4 Photoshop with no problem, then I opened CS4 Acrobat...a window popped up asking for a serial number (odd I thought) so I put in my CS4 serial number, but it didn't work. I decided to restart the machine. After restart none of the apps would launch, they appear in the doc for a few seconds and then close up. Acrobat will launch briefly, but it asks for my computer password, after that it says I need to launch another CS 4 app bc it is part of a suite and acrobat closes. CS4 Bridge is the only app that will launch and stay opened. So with the exception of Bridge and Acrobat (which doesn't really open in the end) all the other apps just appear on the doc for a few secs and then close.
I was on and off the phone with tech support for about 6 hours, installing, uninstalling (CS2 and 4 using maccs3clean) making new user logins, using safe boot, more uninstalling and reinstalling. Then they tell me they are out of ideas and will need to do research and since it's Friday, I won't hear from them again until Monday. Obviously this is a bit aggravating.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I'd almost say the discs were duds, but after that first installation I was at least able to open PS without a hitch, but the trouble seemed to start when I opened acrobat, and it asked for a serial number.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dov,
Thanks for chiming in. After several hours of phone time with tech support, they had no answers and said that would have to get back to me Monday. But I’ve found the solution on a forum and it literally took me less than a minute to do. I removed the "FLEXnet Publisher" folder from the Preferences folder that’s within the Library folder. All CS4 apps opened right up without a problem.
