Trouble upgrading photos

Just installed iPhoto and when opening for the first time it says it needs to upgrade all photos, when I start the process it runs for a while then stops responding and I have to Force Quit. I've downloaded all updates, rstarted the computer, don't know what else to try - help please!

Sweetsu:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions I'm responding to your comment of having 8 GB free space. I don't think that is directly associated with your problem but wanted to point out that it's generally recommended that one have a minimum of 15% free space on the boot drive. Keeping it at that level or more will provide optimum performance for both system and applications.
If you use iDVD and burn projects lots of free space is very important, up to 25 GB or so. Same with using and editing video.
One way to regain some free space is to use Monolingual to remove the non-required language modules. I saved 2.5 GB on my MBP the first time I ran it. Just be sure not to remove the English module . I wouldn't bother with any of the other features in Monolingual. Just use the language removal feature.
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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Trouble Upgrading--Photo Not Found Alert

A year or two ago, I let my brother use IPhoto on my Mac for a summer job that he had, which required him to make a lot of photo slideshows. Sometime after he was done with his job, I deleted all of his photos out of my Iphoto library. I tried to delete all his slideshows as well, but I eventually gave up, because any time I tried to even ctrl+click the slideshow to delete, IPhoto would begin to look for all of the photos in the slideshow. When the program did that, I begin to receive an error message that said "The photo suchandsuchphoto.jpg could not be opened because the original file could not be found." Then I have the choice to either select "cancel" or "find photo." The problem with this error message, is that there is no "apply to all" option, which meant that I had to dismiss the message for every single photo in the slideshow before I could do anything else.
In of itself, this was just a slight annoyance, but heres the big problem. I'm now trying to upgrade to IPhoto 11. While upgrading my photo library, IPhoto has started to look for ALL of these photos. Now in order to complete the installation process, I'm receiving the same photo not found alert. So I am having to individually clear every single one of these messages to finish the installation process. There are probably thousands of these photos, so it will likely take hours for me to clear every single message one by one.
Is there any sort of work around, or something I could do to avoid having to clear all these messages without losing my entire library?

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.

I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive. Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. Can someone please help?

I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive. During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this. I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with. Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
Needs clarification. You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer. So which are you trying to do? Either way, sounds like a browser issue. You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

Trouble accessing photos.

Hello! Need help! Having trouble accessing photos from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, I had a free trial but never registered the program because I was not using it. The other day I was taking pics off a Canon camera, & they automatically loaded into that site. I selected cancel several times, but the program did not respond. Once they completely loaded in, the program asked if I wanted to erase photos from the camera, I selected no but it started erasing them, I was able to stop it but 44 were erased off the camera. I can see the photos in the program but can not access them since I never registered. I tried to register now but received email saying that program has expired. So how do I get my photos? Please help! The photos are not mine, I was loading them from a friends camera, & they are important vacation memories to her! Thanks! Ruth

When you click on one of the thumbnails do you see a blank window where the full sized image? Or do you see this in the window:
In either case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod. I don't see the photos tab in Itunes?? Prob user error but wanted to get some help.

I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod. I don't see the photos tab in I-tunes? I'm sure its user error but wanted to get some help.

What's the origin of this external drive? It sounds very much like it's a Windows-formatted (NTFS) drive which Macs can't write to. If you can, copy the files off the drive, reformat it as Mac format (using Disk Utility) and copy the files back. If you need to continue writing to it from a Windows PC, you should format it ExFAT in Disk Utility.

HT1386 I AM HAVING TROUBLE UPLOADING PHOTOS FROM PC TO IPAD.

I AM HAVING TROUBLE UPLOADING PHOTOS FROM PC TO IPAD. I GET SOME PHOTOS UPLOADED AND THEN TRY TO ADD MORE.. AND ALL THE PREVIOUS ONES DISAPPEAR! THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. CANT I ADD NEW PHOTOS ONCE I UPLOAD ANY!

If you REALLY want to use the stock Photos (I wouldn't as it has major problems as is also explained both at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/all-one-photo-viewer-roundup-70-price-drop-bes t-image-viewer and in the https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3812013?start=345&tstart=0 thread here - look directly at the first two messages), you need to ceate subfolders in parallel to the original ones. Then, the previously synched pics won't disappear.
But, again, I do NOT recommend using the built-in Photos. Using third-party apps like Photo Manager Pro is the way to go until Apple fix the issues with Photos.

Hi, not positive, but it sounds like maybe the Optical drive is flaky, but a lomg shot...
I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterpretable Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

How do I get iphoto to upgrade photo library after upgrading os from snowleopard to yosemite?

How do I get iphoto to upgrade photo library after upgrading os from snowleopard to yosemite?

To add to OT's advice:
You may need to delete your current iPhoto from the Applications folder, if it is a version of iPhoto '11, before the App Store will allow you to download it from the main page.
To locate iPhoto at the AppStore, open the "Featured" tab and enter "iPhoto" into the search field.

Trouble removing photos from iPad

I'm having trouble removing photos from my iPad2 running iOS 5.0.1. In iTunes I've told it not to sync ANY photos. When I first changed this it asked me if I wanted to remove the photos currently there, I said yes and they disappeared. But when it finished syncing they had reappeared despite the fact that it now claims I don't have it set to sync any photos. I don't have photostream enabled. I've tried syncing a couple of times, but no luck. Any ideas? (I searched the forums but everything I found was people who didn't understand how to use iTunes to manage iPad content...that's not my problem..) (also it is like 3 gigs of pics so I don't really want to delete them all by hand since there isn't a way to batch delete...)

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then select and sync an empty folder to the iPad and see if that removes them - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Trouble Upgrading to GB 2.0.2

I'm having trouble upgrading to Garageband version 2.0.2 I downloaded the installer but whenever i click on it a window opens up that says: 'an eligible GarageBand application was not found in /Applications'
Any help is greatly appriciated,

no i do not have garageband 2, i didnt know you had to buy it, but the whole reason i tryed to download it was because since i upgraded to Tiger my garage band wont play real instruments. The description of the 2.0.2 update said that it improves compatibility with Mac OS X Tiger, so i figured i should try that. But i guess i need to BUY garageband 2 in order to use that update. But does that mean in order for me to use my garageband effectivly again i need to BUY another product (garageband 2)?

Trouble upgrading to 10.6.1

Hi all,
I'm having trouble upgrading to iTunes 10.6.1. Earlier today, I opened iTunes, and received an error message that "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Still not sure why this happened. I followed a workaround I found by essentially renaming a previous iTunes library.
Now, I open iTunes, and when I click on "software update," it is indicated that I can update to 10.6.1. However, this takes me to the main Mac Software Update program, but unfortunately I'm told that there are no updates for my computer. The "current version" I am using is iTunes 10.5.1.
Any advice on how I can actually upgrade to 10.6.1?

Are you able to update using a .dmg from the Apple website?
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried Tools -- Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3 years without difficulty

I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with
Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried
Tools --> Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3+
years without difficulty; I have lots of ram, hard drive and speed.
Thanks for your input

One step listed in the link to "helpful" info, was (when Iooked 30 seconds ago), to search for and download the newest version of iTunes. I'm running iTunes on Win 7 machine and was prompted to update today, 10.22.2014, and did so without a problem. Having said that, however, it looks as though the latest iTunes (12.0.1.26) is finally doing what the last version refused to do, which is to actually fully populate all my playlists on my 6, but there is a hitch: 12.0.1.26 will NOT allow you to show the sidebar unless you click on "playlists," that is, you cannot keep it open all the time.
And, when plugging the 6 into the computer, the phone icon shows up but clicking on it does nada. What does work, for some strange reason, is clicking on the tiny icon (just under the "Store" menu link at top screen) which looks much like a tiny barrel, someone's idea of external drives, I suppose. The phone then comes up, with the list of stuff on the phone just under it where the sidebar used to be. Sync is now restricted to the lower right of the screen.
Apparently, you will also need to update your iPhone's software as well; some friends with the 4 and 4s, however, had troubles with them after upgrading. The message from Silicon Valley (I can see Apple from my backyard, ha ha) is apparently, "keep upgrading," folks, get rid of those old phones.

Trouble sharing photos between devices via iCloud photostream

I have trouble sharing photos in my iPod 4th generation with an iPad 2 user. I've sent an invitation to an iPad user to share my shared album with him but he didn't receive any email regarding on this invitation. Whereas, when the iPad user invite me to share his album, I've receive the email and joined his photostream. Unfortunately, the album didn't appear in my iPod. Can someone help me identify the problem? Thank you

Hi LCelineee,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
These tips may help if your shared photo stream invitation is not being received:
I've sent email invitations to my shared stream, but not everyone received one.
Try these troubleshooting steps:
Ask the person you're inviting to check any junk or spam email folders for the invitation.
Try resending the invitation. If a recipient still doesn't get the invitation, send it to a second or alternate email address for that person. The recipient's mailbox may be full, or either the person or the email service provider may have a filter that is preventing the email from being delivered. If you're using iOS 7, you can also send the invitation to the phone number that the recipient uses for iMessages.
If the person has received an invitation at least once in the past, that person may have opted to unsubscribe from future iCloud Photo Sharing emails. See the section on opting out of emails, below, for more details.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
You can find the article with these steps here:

Problem upgrading photos

I recently purchased iLife '06 and installed it on my Powerbook. It hasn't been perfect but the biggest problem was upgrading my photos for iPhoto.
It says:
"The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto."
click upgrade...
says "Upgrading photo library..."
but then crashes and says:
"The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly."
This happens everytime.
What do I do and are my photos okay?
Note: I never got iLife '05
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I had a similar problem and got around it by creating a new library and importing the photos into the new library and then deleting the old one.
The create a new library hold down the option button as you select iPhoto from the dock. Yo might hve to do this several times before it works. After you've created the new library select the File drop down menu and then select Import to Library.
A Finder style window opens. Go the folder that iphoto has been using to store you photos (probably Pictures\iPhoto Library) and it will import all the pictures from the folder and subfolders.
It will retain the original film rolls and photo data, but you will lose slideshows, albums, key words etc.
