IPhoto 9.4.1 not recognizing 5.0.4 library (even after library upgrader is installed)

After installing the iPhoto library upgrader on my iMac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I am still unable to get iPhoto to open the library from my Powerbook that is running iPhoto 5.0.4. When I option-click on iPhoto in the dock so I can select an existing library, I get the same window that tells me the library needs to be upgraded using the iPhoto library upgrader. My goal is to bring over all photos (while still retaining my album structure) from my old Powerbook to my new iMac. Any ideas?

Did you actually run the upgrader and notjust install it? It's installed into the Applications/Utilities folder.

  • Ipod is not recognized by my new mac, even after restoring..

    I recently transferred my itunes library from my old ibook to my new imac using my ipod. The transfer worked (mostly), but all my ipod's memory was used up, even after I had deleted all the transferred files. I was unable to transfer new music onto the ipod, since there was no memory. I then restored and updated the ipod. My current music library was transferred onto the ipod once I reloaded it on my desktop. But then I couldn't access the music on the ipod. (All the songs appear grey). I can't manually update either.

    Hello, I am quite new to iPod and very new to this site. Hope I am not threadjacking, but seem to have a similar problem. I am not offering any advice, just asking for help.
    My son loaded about 400 songs from his computer in OR onto the 20 GB iPod and they play fine on the iPod. I added more songs from my CDs to the iTunes library on my computer in NY, transferred them manually by dragging their names to the iPod icon on the screen. I could see the progress bar go on each. When I open the iPod icon I can play those more recent songs through the computer, just as I can play the original songs through the computer, but the newer set of songs do not show up on the physical iPod after it is unplugged. I plug it in with a USB cable and disconnect it correctly (I think)
    Actually, one of the songs did transfer to the physical iPod, but none of the others.
    I did set the preferences for manual transfer.
    Can anyone give me some troubleshooting ideas? Looking at this chat list I realize loading and managing an iPod is a lot less foolproof than I had hoped it would be.
    Thanks, Steve

    Which printer do you have specifically? HP makes several eprinters and I want to make sure I get the best information for you that I can.
    Also, have you tried doing a self test print to see if the issue is hardware related versus being software related?

  • .RAF files not recognized in bridge but PS ok.  Patch 7.1 installed.

    .RAF files not recognized in bridge but PS ok.  Patch 7.1 installed.  Anyone know the fix?

    To me it seems related to your Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) converter. Clue inhere is you only miss the Raw files and have no problems in seeing other formats like jpeg and tiff.
    The screenshot you delivered is from the wrong library, however, this same library (the one on system level) also is the location where you should be able to view the correct version of your ACR plugin. The path: library (same as per your screenshot)/Application support/ Adobe/ Plug ins/ CS6/ File Formats. inhere should be only one version of Camera Raw (called: "Camera Raw.plugin") and this should show version 8.3 (141).
    I'm not sure about your bridge version number, Bridge 5 comes with PSCS6 but my most recent version of Bridge is 5.0.2.4.
    Anyway, if you have only one ACR (8.3) installed in the above mentioned path then you might want to try to delete the Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manually.
    For this you have to Quit Bridge and find the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go in Finder and press option key to reveal).
    Inhere find the plist file (user(your user name) / library / Preferences  and inhere find and manually delete the file called: "com.adobe.bridge5.plist"
    The in same user library find Bridge Cache. User/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6. Inhere are 2 files, the adobe Bridge plug in cache and the folder called Cache. delete (or move outside libray) both items.
    The restart Bridge (If needed also again hold option key to reset preferences) and this will create fresh files for the previous deleted items, leaving you with an almost out of the box factory set version of Bridge.

  • External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.

    External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.
    I have the latest Airpor Time capsule 2gb. I specifically bought it so that I could have an external hardrive set up to wirelessly house my itunes library and movies. When i connect the drive, all i get is that the disk needs to be repaired.
    the drive can works fine when connected to the macbook pro and I have run the verify and repair features in disk utility. I have also reset the airport timecapsule as well following these changes and still no change.
    The 7.7.2 update says that it addressed the usb issue of not showing the drives but there are still problems as I cannot get it to appear.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    How is the hard drive formatted?
    Have you tried using a powered USB hub with the drive when it is connected to the Time Capsule?
    (The USB port on the Time Capsule is borderline as far as power is concerned....you may need to use a powered hub.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply)
    If the drive is formatted correctly....and....it has ample power, it will "show up" when you open AirPort Utility, click Edit, then click the Disks tab at the top of the next window.
    In the example below, my Time Capsule drive is named "Backups" and another drive named "WD Drive" is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
    You should see the name of your Time Capsule drive (named "Data" unless you have changed the name) and the name of the USB drive if you perform the same check.
    What do you see?

  • My iMac will not update to 10.6.8 Even after restarting, it will not update.

    My iMac will not update to 10.6.8 even after clicking the restart button to update items. How can I update my iMac??

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Sometimes the Software Update version doesn't work properly. If you can't install Mac OS X 10.6.8 from Software Update, install it through the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
    The Combo installer allows you to update multiple Macs with a single download. Also, it's safer because it gives less problems than a Software Update version

  • HT5037 I have installed the iPhoto Library upgrade, which confirms it was successfully installed, however when ever I try to open iPhoto 11, it refers me back to the bloody library upgrade again, so I can't use iPhoto any more.

    I have installed the iPhoto Library upgrade, which confirms it was successfully installed, however when ever I try to open iPhoto 11, it refers me back to the bloody library upgrade again, so I can't use iPhoto any more.

    Thanks, it worked first time that  I double clicked as you suggested. 
    Why do Apple make it so hard to upgrade some programs?  They could make the follow through instructions a lot clearer.
    Now I have it open-  it works and.....................  it does look pretty neat.

  • Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring

    Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring  I have an iphone5 64 syncing about 8000 songs, so updating all is a time consuming, and now maddening process. Never had a problem before iOS 8. Someone (hello Apple) needs to develop a utility to help manage artwork recovery.

    my  5th generation ipod acts like it is going to sync and then "ejects" itself before even 1 song can be synced. It then doesnt recognize that it has been ejected and keeps the"do not disconnect" icon on the screen even after unplugging. What do I do?  it also makes a lot of noise while connected to the computer.

    Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
    Try:
    Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
    Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

  • Iphoto 6.0.5 not recognizing cannon A80

    My new intel core 2 duo no longer recognizes my cannon A80 camera?
    I am on a business trip and tried to plug the camera into imac using iphoto for download but iphoto is not recognizing the camera so it won't download pictures. Before when I used iphoto to download using the same camera, I hooked the cannon A80 to a usb multi hub and had not problem. I do not have that same hub with me and bought a belkin 4 port hub to see if that was the problem and it does not work either.
    what can be the problem? I have downloaded many photos via iphoto with same camera.

    Robert:
    As a workaround see if Image Capture(located in the Applications folder) will recognize the camera and let you upload the files to the hard drive.
    Do you Twango?

  • Iphoto and image capture not recognizing kodak camera

    Hello!
    I am having trouble uploading photos from my Kodak easyshare dx4530 to iphoto 6.0.5. This is a new thing as I have uploaded many times before. The camera is not recognized by iphoto or by image capture when the usb is connected. The camera and usb work fine when connected to my husband's ibook G4.
    I tried moving the preferences to the trash (com.apple.iphoto.plist and com.apple.imagecaptureapp.plist) and this did not work. There is only 1 account on the computer and it is the admin account.
    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    pb35:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is the camera recognized by System Profiler? Did you run any updates before this problem began? A first cut would be a reinstall of the 10.4.9 COMBO updater followed by a permissions repair.
    I'd create a second, non-admin, very vanilla account and see if the camera is recognized there by iPhoto or IC. A second plain account is a very good troubleshooting tool to see if the problem is with what's been added to the primary account.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • TS1369 Hello! I have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation and it is not recognized by my Windows 8 based laptop. An error message of 'USB device not recognized' is shown. I have the latest ITunes version installed, and tested the dock in other pc's.

    Hello!
    I have a problem connecting my Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation to my Windows 8 based laptop. The computer doesn't recognize the Ipod and issues an error message saying 'USB device not recognized'. I tried uninstaling ITunes(latest version) and all other Apple software and reinstaling it back again, checked my USB hubs in the 'Device Manager' section of the Control Panel, you name it.
    I could really use some help solving this.
    I've turned to the troubleshooting section in Apple Support but it has nothing concerning situations in wich the device isn't even shown in the 'My Computer' folder.
    Help a brother out, will you???

    Found a solution in another forum http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-63733-ipod-not-detected-on-computer (a few posts down).
    It was for an IPOD so you can see those details in the link.
    Found how to reset a shuffle and inserted it into these instructions - did not have to follow his last steps.
    - Turn off computer.
    - Plug Shuffle into usb.
    - Then you must reset your shuffle
    To reset iPod shuffle:
    Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
    Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible
    Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
    Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible.
    - Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
    - Your i pod will say do not unplug so don't. then open itunes and it will be there.
    I did not have to do these thing below – did not get error message and shuffle was displayed in Itunes. / LMc
    Just remember to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
    Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it.
    Stop it and select "apple ipod".

  • Batch file gives error "is not recognized as internal command.." after first character

  • IPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library, upgraded

    iPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library. I have upgraded from an old iPhoto. I upgraded the Library also.
    Everything is inside the Library I can see but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?

    Everything is inside the Library I can see
    Do you mean by looking into the library using the Finder?
    but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?
    Then iPhoto has probably opened a new, empty library, because it could not find or access your iPhoto library. What happens, whiny double-click the Library to open it directly?
    Where is your iPhoto library stored? Is it in the Pictures folder or on an external drive?

  • MacBook pro does not recognize built in iSight cam even after restart/ reset

    After years of using Sony hdr500 video cam, iMovie stopped recognizing it and then stopped recognizing the built in iSight cam as well. Now photo booth does not see it either. I have restarted the computer to reset SMC and that did not resolve the problem. I would appreciate any help offered. Thanks JJMANN

    see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1151  Check cables, connections, too many devices, etc., suggested there.
    If your issue persists, try these steps:
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect all devices and cables except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
    Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
    Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
    Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
    With all you have already done, if no USB devices are recognized or work on your Mac after you have also considered all the above, you likely have a hardware problem.  Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
