Please help.
Thank you,

For those whose Mac is set to a language other than US English this solution posted by gtrra has helped in downlading and installing Mavericks and might work with the iApps:

This solved my questionRe: Upgrading iPhoto 9.4.3 CD Version to 9.5

Change the language of OS in preferences for any other, reboot your mac, open mac app store and updates would show up. Somehow worked for me and my friends Then you can go back to your orginal language.

Iphoto error message: unable to assemble book

iphoto error message: "unable to assemble book" when i'm trying to place an order.

Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and create a preview copy as described in this Apple document, . If that is successful preview the PDF copy before ordering the book from the Safe Mode.
Keep the PDF file to compare with the printed copy when you receive it.
By any chance are you ordering an XL sized book?

Unable to run iphoto after upgdare

hi,
recently I have upgraded to iLife 11, and after that and software upgrade I am unable to launch iPhoto.
I am getting error "In order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the latest version.
Please run Software Update to install it now"
however there is no package to be installed in software update.
all were updated already
any idea how to fix this one?

How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

Spinwheel when syncing, unable to sync photos, error message "the disk cannot be read from or written to" ... please help!

spinwheel when syncing, unable to sync photos, error message "the disk cannot be read from or written to" ... please help!

Everytime I try to sync my photos to iPad or my iPhone. The sync freezes for a whilie then comes back with "the disk cannot be read from or written to". I have already exported photo library from iPhoto and readded the photos.

"Unable to create volume" error when exporting

Exporting photos from iPhoto gives me the "unable to create Volume" error. iPhoto and Mountain Lion are the latest versions, and most recent updates. Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS. Destination drive is formatted Mac OSX Extended (Journaled, Encrypted).
Library has already been rebuilt. No change.
PNGs have been deleted from library. No change.
Tried batch re-titling every image in the library library, and exporting so that exported files were named according to title, followed by a number--thus no two files would have the same name. No change.
Any suggestions?

Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS.
Likely cause right there.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

Unable to print book - error with page info

I'm trying to print a 50 page book. No problem assembling, uploading or purchasing but after a day or two I always get the following message from the Apple store.
Due to an error when your order was submitted, the file we received contains incorrect page information. As a result, Apple is unable to process your order and you will not be charged. Before submitting a new order, we have some suggestions for correcting the issue:
Update your software.
Preview your product in iPhoto or Aperture.
Place your order again.
If you are unable to update iPhoto, or are prompted to purchase updated software, you may consider the troubleshooting steps below:
Open iPhoto and go into your book project.
Choose to view "All Pages".
Once you are on the "All Pages" screen, click on the last page that appears.
Choose "Layout" and then select "Spread" from the "Layout" drop down menu.
You should then see that the rear flap page appears. Subsequently, you can make the desired customizations before resubmitting your file.
Preview your product in iPhoto or Aperture.
Place your order again.
We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience.
This is the third time this has happened. I've tried both sets of instructions. The final time, the .pdf preview displayed but the formatting of the page was all out of whack - photo sizes incorrect, wrong font, wrong font sizes - The software is updated, I'm running OS Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1.
I'm all out of ideas, here. Any input greatly appreciated.

Paul:
As Terence pointed out it's a damaged library, most likely the database file, Library6.iPhoto. To protect from future occurrences of such a damaged library you can keep a current backup copy of the database file on hand and ready to replace in the library package if you ever get the blank or "!" indication again for the full sized file. See the tip at the end of my signature for an easy way to make those backups.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I am unable to open Iphoto

Hi,
I am unable to open Iphoto, I get an error message that reads "you cant' open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Any thoughts?

Hopefully you have a back-up just in case.
If you have TimeMachine just restore the iPhoto.app
You could also try holding the option-command keys down when you launch iphoto, See if you can repair this way to make it happy- if it is a database problem.
IPhoto is on your install DVD if you need to reinstall a fresh copy of the app.

Getting "unable to sync - unknown error (1140) on iPhone and iPad.

Yesterday, I got a message when trying to sync my iPhone 4S - "unable to sync, unknown error (1140). After several unsuccessful attempts, I did a complete restore on my iPhone (took forever!). Today, plugging in my iPad mini, I get the same error. This looks like an Apple problem to me. Any suggestions before I think about doing a complete restore on my iPad?

If you haven't done so already, update iPhoto on your Mac. You might want to consider updating the OS to 10.6.8 if you haven't already done so.

Since installing iLife 09, unable to use iPhoto

Unable to open iPhoto v. 802 or v. 902. Error message reads in part;
"your Photo Library is either in use by another application or has
become unreadable". Any suggestion appreciated.

I have tried everything and still, iPhoto does not open.
Then there is no hope
But on the outside chance that you have not tried everything have you rebuilt from all of the available options (except compacting the database)?
Have you used iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild?
Have you created a new user and tested from that new user?
Have you reinstalled iPhoto?
What is 'everything"

Option -splash and -Xmx result in "Unable to launch JVM" error

Hello everybody,
we have a severe problem with launching our Java application using the "-splash:" and "-Xmx" command line options for which we cannot find any solution in the web. Our application needs a lot of heap space, so we usually set "-Xmx=920M". Usually, we are working with Java 6 and use the "-splash:" option to show a splash screen while the application is loading. In some cases, we get an "Unable to launch JVM" error now. This happens only on particular customer systems (servers as well as desktop machines) and the only solution is to decrease the maximum heap size for a couple hundred megabytes. The latter is usually unacceptable since our application requires a lot of heap memory and the machines do have more than sufficient memory. The other option is to completely remove the "-splash:" option, but then there is of course no splash screen anymore.
Unfortunately, we are unable to track the error back and to figure what exactly is going wrong. Does anyone of you have any hints how to debug or analyze the error? Our assumption is that something is wrong due to memory partitioning which leads to unsufficiently large memory partitions to allocate the required heap memory by the JVM.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much.

It is already hard for you to diagnose such an occurrence, I wouldn't expect anything more by asking in a forum. At least you have SOME way of doing some more diagnosing.
I'm sorry, but you'll have to dive in deep. Figure out what update versions of Java the failing machines are running. Which OS. Which processor architecture. Etc. See if there is a common factor involved. If not, hunt through release notes of newer JDKs to see if any of them mention something related to the splash screen and if you find something, let the client attempt an update of the JDK on such a failing machine to see if the problem is remedied. If it is windows, try running with the server VM (java -server) in stead of the default client VM, if you are not already doing that.
And yeah if all that fails and nobody else has something to add, I'm sorry to say that Oracle support will be your next logical step.

Unable to load report error

Hi
This started with an asp.net application which I have been maintaining for several years, on an XP 32-bits box. Alas, the box died, and I have acquired a new Development machine, now with Windows 7/64-bits. I have installed Visual Studio 2010 and Crystal reports (13.0.,9), including runtime for 32 and 64 bits.
I got the "unable to load report" error, and I think I have tried everything I could find on the web related to solving this issue.
Finally I got Down to creating a new dummy asp.net application with a dummy report just displying the text TEST. This report Works fine when run from within VS, but if I deploy it to the web server on the Development machine I also get the unable to load report failure.
I believe this is a configuration issue. The application has run fine for years, I just can't get it to Work on the new development machine.
Please help
Peter
