Library rebuilds but iPhoto won't close on its own

I recently had to restore my entire system from a backup and when I did, the largest of my libraries, 1945 photos, would not load up without doing a rebuild. The rebuild completes fine and all the photos are restored but when I try to close iPhoto, it just hangs. If I Force Quit it, it's as if I never did the rebuild at all and the library is inaccessible again.
Is there anything I can do short of reimporting all those photos into a new library?
PowerMac G4 1.25GHZ MDD iPhoto 5

Had to reimport whole library folder, delete thumbnails.

How did you "move everything" over?
Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

I have a 2008 imac, and trying to use the latest iPhoto app. But it won't open. I have installed the library upgrade but still won't open?

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

Did you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on your library? Just downloading it isn't enough. Go to your Applications/Utilities folder and launch iPhoto Library Upgrader V1.1 and run it on your library.
Did you upgrade iPhoto to 9.6.1 via the App Store? If so launch iPhoto 9.6.1 and open the library.

The icon is still here, but iphoto won't launch on my MacBookPro.

The icon is still here, but iphoto won't launch on my MacBookPro (Mac OSX 10.5.8). I have iphoto 8.1.2 and used it just yesterday. I left-clicked the icon to quit and restart it, and there's a check by the command to indicate that happened, but nothing opens up. I tried to launch it through applications, but nothing. It's not minimized at the bottom of the screen either. It's like it's invisible!

Hold Option key, open iPhoto and select the iPhoto library. If it doesn't help, reinstall iPhoto with the Applications disc that came with the computer

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut it down from there. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can, and then use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

I have a cooliris wall embedded in a website I built. IE shows it but Foxfire doesn't. I've looked for an add-on but the cooliris one goes to its own wall. I updated to ff4 but no difference. Is there a plug in I need?

I want all my devices to be on a password related internet but the double nat on my TC makes weird things happen and slow. I try bridge mode but the internet doesn't work.
You building supplied internet is a cheap service that is without proper routable addresses..
Therefore to use more than one IP you MUST have double NAT.. sorry there is no choice..
Slow that is because you are sharing internet with every other person in the building.. get your own broadband service.
Bridge will not work.. it cannot work because the building only has private IP addressing. And they only give you a single address.
You can put a password on the wireless.. go to the airport utility and put in a password.
Other than that I don't understand what password you expect.
Can I get an explanation of what bridge mode is?
No NAT.. means the TC becomes a dumb Wireless AP and switch.. works fine with a cable modem router.. or any broadband router but useless with your building system.
Can I get suggestions on what I should do to use the TC as a wireless device to spread the same wireless device my apartment is broadcasting?
Double NAT, and set your own wireless names. There is no alternative.. sorry.

Report builder closes on its own saying it has encountered an error

hi
i am using reports 6i ,i changed an existing query in data model with a query consiting of union statements
eg earlier the column names(just giving eg of one column) were DT_TRANSACTION_DATE
now
after giving the modified query consisting of union clause the column name comes as DT_TRANSACTION_DATE1
why is this happening ? in the modified query i havent changed th existing column names ,just included a new column
why do the existing columns get a 1 as suffix
now when i try to run the report ,report builder closes on its own saying it has encountered an error
kindly guide
thanking in advance

This "changing" of field-names, in general, happens when the column-names in the SQL-query are not written with proper aliases, so that reports creates aliases on its own.

What OS? Did it ever work. From what you say, it seems it has never worked. Has it always been on this OS?

Try deleting it and reinstalling it.
you can also try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so until it reboots and see if that helps.

Rebuilding library and now iphoto won't open

We recently upgraded to Lion and now iphoto won't work. I'm trying to rebuild my library but I can't even get iphoto to open now. Has anyone else had issues using iphoto after upgrading to Lion?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library. If you can't then give this a try: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Isplash and Colorize files save as JPEG but Iphoto won't import them in.

I bought both Isplash and Colorize apps to use the edited photos in an imovie video. The programs both import my iphoto files seamlessly for coloring but when I try and save them in Iphoto or import them into iphoto I get this error.
the file could not be imported (the file is in the iphoto library)
Help?!

the file could not be imported (the file is in the iphoto library)
iPhoto won't import files that are already in the working Library package. How did they get there?
I'm guessing that you did not use either of these apps as an external editor?
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
