Iphoto 6 not accepting photos from another iphoto 6 user

encountered an odd issue here.......got a CD with jpg photos from my sister who has the same iphoto 6 program.
1) iPhoto 6 starts up fine, no issues
2) when I insert the disk from my sister I get an error message "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
3) After the error message, my iPhoto program shuts down
Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you sure there are no updates for iPhoto 6 waiting for you to install?
Run software update and be sure.

IPhoto 8.1.2 will not accept photos from iPhoto 9.5.1

To begin with I purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro and messed up somewhere in the installation process.
I have an iMac
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac5,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
With OS X 10.6.8
iPhoto 8.1.2
Processor Speed:          2 GHz
and a 13" MacBook Pro
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Modle Identifier: MacBookPro 9.2
With OS X 10.9.3
AND 2 copies of iPhoto (8.1.2 & 9.5.1) as listed in System Information, which apparently copied over when I copied to MacBook Pro from Time Capsule.
     1. I copied photos from MacBook to the iMac (using a 8 GB Thumb drive) but I was not successful.
          I believe I deleted the photo library on the iMac and tried to copy it back from the MacBook.
     2. When I try to Open iPhoto I get an alert: You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
     You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
Question 1. How can I return to the original iPhoto program on my iMac?( I have the original iLife DVD).
Question 2. How can I restore and/or salvage the photos presently on my MacBook Pro and install them on my iMac?

No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

IPhoto not accepting photos from iPhone IOS7

I have not been able to copy photos from my iPhone 4S to my macbook 1,1 (OSX 10.6.8) since I installed IOS7.0 on the phone. "file is in an unrecognizable format" and it's JPG.

Export: File -> Export

has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Copy: Use iPhoto Library Manager
But best to rebuild the library:
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.

IMovie not accepting photos from iPhoto

Trying to put together a dvd and when I drag the photo and try and drop it, its not showing up...music either. I've got my opening slide with a voice over but that's as far as it will go. Anyone else having these problems or any suggestions?

Did you look in iTunes?

Each time I create a new album in IPhoto, photos from another album or from photo stream are automatically dumped into the new album.. how do I create a blank album and then import photos from a flash drive into the new album?

just import the iPhoto
Surely you meant "just import the photo"? The Spell checker is dangerously creative !

In one of my iPhoto 'event' files other photos from another event seem to have doubled up over a different photo!!!!!

In one of my iPhoto 'event' files (named Thailand) other photos from another event (named Filey) seem to have doubled in the Thailand event, but when I click on the image (from filey) it shows the Thailand image!!!!!
I hope this is understandable

What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version on your MacBook Pro? It looks like the thumbnails of your photos were wrong. Make a backup copy of your iPhoto library and try to rebuild the thumbnails. in iPhoto '11 try this:
Launch iPhoto with the key combination⌥⌘ (alt/option-command) held down and select "rebuild thumbnails" from the panel.

How do I reorganize my photos on iPad 2? I need to move (not copy) photos from one album to another. When I use the copy function to another album, and then try to delete an image from the original album, the system wants to delete the photos from all albums. Please help.

You can't do it directly on the iPad - the new album functionality basically only allows you to copy photos into those new albums, you can't move them. The way that I think of it as working is that you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you then delete the original photo on the iPad you therefore automatically delete all the pointers to it.
If you want to re-organise your albums then you will need to do it on your computer and then sync those albums over to the iPad

YES Terence! Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop. But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now. Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore? I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option.
I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs. I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly. I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working.
Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?! I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires.
Thank you so much for your help. I really, really appreciate it.

I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work. i really dont want to lose these photos but i am very unsure of what to do to resolve. can anyone please help?
thank you

If you had Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone, photos in the Camera Roll should have been transferred to your photo steam automatically when the iPhone was connected to an available wi-fi network.
Your photo stream is not available when logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on a computer.
Why were the photos in the Camera Roll deleted?
Photos/videos in the camera roll are included with your iPhones backup. If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the photos were deleted from the camera roll, you can try restoring your iPhone from the backup.

Hi finecut,
I believe this Mac Mail Help info may help:
Backing up your mail
You can back up your mailboxes to a CD or another disk. To do this, you can either copy the Mail folder in your Library folder or create an mbox file, a common format for storing mail messages.
▪ To save the contents of all your mailboxes, hold down the Option key and drag the Mail folder to your desktop or to another disk. The Mail folder is in the Library folder in your home folder (~/Library/Mail).
Copying the Mail folder only backs up mail from POP accounts, or mail from an IMAP account that you've copied to On My Mac. When you are ready to restore the Mail folder, choose File > Import Mailboxes, select Mail for Mac OS X, and locate the Mail folder.
▪ To create an mbox copy of a mailbox, drag the mailbox from the mailbox list to your desktop.
▪ To create an mbox file with just some of your messages, select the messages, then choose File > Save As. In the Format pop-up menu, choose Raw Message Source, then enter a name and save the file.
You can copy mbox files to CDs or to other disks. When you want to restore your mail, choose File > Import Mailboxes, select "Standard mbox files," and locate the files.
hope that helps,
