Upgraded and now cannot open iPhotos

I just updated to Maverick, but now iPhotos 9.2.3 won't open. Did I just loose all my photos? If I upgrade my iPhotos, will I be able to get them back?

Hello K29292,
Thank you for the question, and I definitely understand your concern.  The iPhoto application and your iPhoto Library are stored in two different locations, so even if you cannot open iPhoto, your photos are still in their original location. 
The version of iPhoto you are currently running is not compatible with Mavericks, but you can upgrade iPhoto to the latest version to access your photos.  Follow the steps in the article below to upgrade the iPhoto application:

Once you update iPhoto, you should be able to access your iPhoto Library, but it is always a good idea to have a backup of your photos:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • IPad 16GB iOS 8.1.1 upgrade and now cannot open Music and Videos apps

    My iPad 16GB installediOS 8.1.1 upgrade and now cannot open Music and Videos apps...HELP?

    Since yesterday morning about 11:00 I have been having TERRIBLE email problems on this iPad 3G. Email comes in (I hear the sound) but nothing displays -- no folders, no content, no nothing in e-mail. The blank email screen shows up and then disappears after about 10 seconds, taking me back to the Home Screen.
    Right now, the only way I can see email on this device is to log onto AOL via the AOL app.
    I have been doing a lot of online reading about the problem. It has to do with iOS 8.1.3 and it affects older iPads and iPhones. I'm having no problems on my iPod touch, which -- fortunately -- is so old it cannot update its iOS 6.
    I waited to update the iOS on this iPad until iOS 8 was "mature." That was about 2 weeks ago.
    Anybody know know if Apple is aware? working on a solution?

  • Upgraded by Mac Pro to Yosemite 10.10.1. Upgraded iPhoto to 9.6 now cannot open iPhoto.

    I have a Mac Pro running Yosemite 10.10.1.  I upgraded iPhoto to 9.6 and now cannot open iPhoto. I tried several times but have to force quit.  I used the time machine to go back to before the upgrade but the iPhoto copy is just the same - blank screen with the little worm continually turning.
    I do not know where to start

    Do you have a backup you can restore the pictures from?
    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies.  How do I reverse this?

    Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies.  How do I reverse this?

    Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
    What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
    Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
    It makes no difference at all.
    How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
    You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
    Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size. 
    HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
    I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
    Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
    You're somewhat confused and you need to
    1. Decide what exactly you want to do
    2. Then go about it.
    If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do -  the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
    You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

  • I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

    I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

    If it's because you were using Office 2004, the eight year old version of Office that was written when Intel processors were not used in Macs, then there will be no fix. Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications, as has been widely reported since Lion's release last August.
    You can upgrade Office 2004 to Office 2008 or Office 2011. You can use iWorks 2009 that can open Microsoft files. You can use a number of free applications that are also capable of working with Microsoft documents. You can go back to Snow Leopard, if you have a backup. Or, if you have an external drive or room to add a partition to your current drive, you can install Snow Leopard on it.
    Search these forums for more information. If this is your issue, it's been posted and answered several times a day since August 2011.

  • I currently use a iMac OS X 10.6.8 and I cannot open iPhoto. Every time I click on iPhoto the coloured wheel comes up and lets me go no further, leaving me with no other option but to force quit the application. HELP!!

    i currently use a iMac OS X 10.6.8 and I cannot open iPhoto. Every time I click on iPhoto the coloured wheel comes up and lets me go no further, leaving me with no other option but to force quit the application.
    it is showing all my existing photos but will not let me click on any of them, nor will it allow me to import any new photos into iPhoto.
    I am really worried that I cannot access all of my photos and even more worried as I need to back them up!!
    HELP!!

    Try repair 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.

  • I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?

    I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created with the old system.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?  How?

    I'm in the same boat: new to OS X and Mac, and in the middle of a book. I switched because I heard about the the ease of using Mac, but so far, for me, it's been a nightmare. I bought 2011 Office Mac and hate everything about it, the most recent being the inability to open or cut or paste any of my original word files. I understand that this could have easily been done with earlier versions, but not Mountain Lion (which I learned is what OSX is.) Since I work with language, I am amazed at the assumptions of the Apple community. It helps to use common language and explain even the basics.  
    So all the helpful hints to use the latest version of Office Mac are to no avail. Now what?

  • I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS.  I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

    I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS.  I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

    You would need at least CS3 with ACR 4.6 to natively edit NEFs from a D90 in PS:

    It might also work to use the DNG Converter 4.6 or newer to convert the NEF files to DNGs and then those might open in your older CS2 ACR, but I’m not sure, since it’s a 9 year old program I haven’t used in years.
    The DNG Converter can be found, here:

  • Labview crashed when saving vi and now cannot open VI libray

    Hi
    I am using LabVIEW 7.1.
    I am developing a moderately large application.  I Just saved my main VI and LabVIEW crashed for some reason.
    My vi library will now not open.  When I try to open the library I get the error message: "an error occured when listing the contents of (my directory/myvi.library)".
    Has anybody ever had this problem and if so does anybody know how I can recover my vi library?
    I have just lost about 2 days work so if anybody has any ideas I would be most grateful.
    I hope it is not a fatal problem - I cannot even show the vi's in the vi libray using windows explorer.
    Many thanks
    Ashley

    It looks like you've learned the hard way why you should not use .llb's
    during development. If a single VI in the library get's corrupted, the
    entire library is bad. This is why during development, you're much
    better off keeping everything in an organized directory structure. This
    way, a crash like you had would only affect those VI's that had not yet
    ben saved.
    I've heard rumors that NI has an internal untility that might be able to recover the library. I'd try contacting support directly to see if they can help.
    Good Luck

    Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

  • I have just installed Mavericks OS, and now cannot use iPhoto. Any advice?

    I have just installed Mavericks OS onto my macbook pro, and now find that I  cannot access iPhoto. Does this mean that my photographs are lost, or can I install an update for iPhoto which will correct this?

    Did you install the new iPhoto? Were your pictures lost?? I stopped the downloading thinking I can still retrieve my pictures..

  • Downloaded the latest revision and now cannot open tabs for new searches or change the main tab from my home page. What did you do to my old Mozilla?

    It opens to my home page but I cannot open another tab. If I change the address in the address bar, it will not go to the new address. I have to go to explorer to get these features now but I really liked my old firefox.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Adobe player and reader -updates and now cannot open new Email, reply Email or attached PDF's. Fix?

    On my Windows PC, Win 7, 64 bit, I have Adobe Reader and Adobe Player.
    a week or two or more I have had messages of Adobe updates and downloaded and installed them, but I think after these (could also be after Windows updates) I cannot open a new Email, cannot reply to an Email, and cannot open a PDF attached to an Email.
    Earleir I think there was a message in the box on the screen that the cause was  .. "101.1" or similar.
    I have worked through Adobe suggestions in settings and downloaded again etc, but still can't find an answer to the problem.
    I suspect it is a simple fix but I can't find it.
    I also have AVG virus, PC tune etc running.
    Also, (maybe  connected?), in this time I have also been finding the PC will seize - seems like it is overloading the processor and will then either shut down, or I will have to shut it down and restart. This also seemed to happen on my last PC system and it seemed to be connected with Norton anti virus starting and overlaoding the processing, which was why  I changed to AVG, but although I had Norton still on this PC (removed yesterday)it was not paid, although it was active and often sent up warnings to renew the subscription.
    Would like a fix if anyone knows how
    Robert13

    Having multiple virus checking software can cause all sorts of problems. I have no idea what PC tune is. There is no Adobe software called Player. Perhaps Flash Player. Problems with Flash Player can be addressed here:

    As to problems with Reader, I would suggest the Adobe Acrobat/Reader Cleaner software then re-installing Reader from scratch:

  • I recently upgraded to iphoto11 and now cannot open my iphoto.  I get a messageto first prepare iphoto with library upgrader.  downloaded upgrader, but nothing changes.  I don't know what to do

    I recently successfully upgraded my mid-2007 mac desktop to OS X 10.9        I tried to purchase a print from my iphoto and it told me that I could not do this unless I upgraded to Iphoto version 9.5 which I then did.  When I attempted to open my iphoto library following the upgrade, I got the message "To open library with this version of Iphoto, it firsts needs to prepare"   I was then prompted to use the Iphoto library upgrader.  I downloaded the upgrader as it suggested.  However, nothing different happens.  I still get the same prompt each time I attempt to open the iphoto (telling me the I need to prepare with the library upgrader.)  I have no idea what to do next.  I am not finding any help in my online searches.  Can  someone please offer suggestions?  Keep in mind that I am not a computer expert, so simple terms/instructions would be most helpful.  Thank you!

    Yes, I purchased the upgrade through the apple website, downloaded successfully.  When I clicked on the iphoto icon, that's when I got the prompt that said I needed to prepare my library using the library upgrader.  I got this from apple website as well.  It downloaded, then appeared on my desktop screen as a 'library upgrader'    I don't know what to do next?  When I click it, it just keeps repeating the download process.
