Using Intel iPhoto Libraries with G4 versions of iPhoto

Hello,
Because I had left my Powerbook charger at the other end of the country, I was unable to use my computer for a week or so.
I found myself in urgent need of a photo on my computer, so to overcome the problem, plugged an external drive (where my iPhoto library is stored) into my flatmates Macbook and accessed my library through his version of iPhoto.
Unfortunately though, to access my library I had to 'update it to the latest version' which, in retrospect, I presume is an Intel specific version.
Now I've got my Powerbook charger back I have tried to access the iPhoto library, but get a message telling me that the 'You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto'.
I have tried to do a software update in OSX but am told that there's nothing need updating.
Short of re-importing several thousand photos, which aside from the time it would take would mean that the Folders and Albums that I had set up would be lost, is there any other measures people may suggest to restore my library?
Many thanks,
Tim

Tim,
What version of iLife are you using? From your description, it seems that to view your pictures on your friend's Macbook you used a newer version of iLife, most likely '06. It most likely has nothing to do with whether your friend has an Intel chip in his mac and you do not. Having just upgraded my iLife version from 2-6 on my G4 Powerbook, I went through the conversion process myself. Once you have gone through the conversion process there is no way to go back short up uploading the photos again but Terrance or Old Toad may no better. iLife '06 has a totally different organizational structure and order system than earlier versions so often when you update your photos, you can not go back to the old structure. Did you have a back up of your iLife pictures, if so, then you can revert to your back up. Otherwise, I would suggest purchasing the latest version of iLife, iLife 08 which is $79
You also need to make sure that your Quicktime is the latest version, 7.02
Hope this helps

  • Can not use default screen saver with this version of Mac OS X

    Hello,
    I created a 10.6.4 image on a Mac Pro that I have installed on a new 27" iMac. Every thing works fine, as expected, except the screen savers (all Apple default). All screen savers appear in the list when booted off the Mac Pro, but when booted off the iMac, all but 2 disappear (Computer Name and Flurry). Also, the ones listed under Pictures show up, but when I try to use one it says "Can not use 'screen saver name' with this version of Mac OS X - Contact your vendor."
    Also, the flurry screen saver runs extremely slow.
    Unfortunately, I don't have another iMac to compare versions with, but I've compared with a new Macbook Pro and they are exactly the same. Is there a cache or a pref I can flush?

    The old screensavers were about the first things that didn't work when moving to Snow Leopard, so my guess would be the iMac is booting in 32-bit vs 64-bit mode (or whichever mode is incompatible with your screensavers).

  • "YOU CANNOT USE THIS APPLICATION SAFARI WITH THIS VERSION OF MAC OS X"

    hi, just downloaded the update for mac 10.5.1 - all went well - then tried to open Safari and received this message "YOU CANNOT USE THIS APPLICATION SAFARI WITH THIS VERSION OF MAC OS X" - I have tried downloading Safari again through netscape but that does not seem to work either - ANY IDEAS???? Thanks

    It sounds likely that you have more than one copy of Safari on your hard drive. The one in your Applications folder is the one you should have. The one you're trying to launch is an older version that somehow got moved somewhere else, so that the new version got installed in your Applications folder (where it should be) while the old version is running (or trying to run) from another location.
    First, double-click on the Safari application file that you have in your Applications folder. Does it run properly, without error messages? If so, everything is fine. You just need to get rid of the old version of Safari and set it up so you can easily launch the new version that is in your Applications folder.
    Are you clicking on the Safari icon in your Dock when you see the error message? If so, do this: Control-click on the Safari icon in your Dock and select "Show in Finder" from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open showing the location of that copy of Safari. If that Finder window is any location other than the Applications folder, delete the Safari file that is in that folder. Then drag the Safari icon out of your Dock. Navigate to your Applications folder and drag the Safari file from the Applications folder to your Dock.
    You should be all set, but click on the new Safari icon in your Dock to make sure it is the correct version and runs without problems.

    I am getting the response " You cannot use the application "iTunes" with this version of MAC OS X." How do i get Itunes on my Mac. I tried to download the newest version but it won't let me do that either.

    What operating system version are you using on your Macbook?  If you are still using Tiger 10.4 the new iTunes requires Leopard (10.5) or higher.

  • Problem using JSTL tag libraries with OC4J 9.0.3

    Hi
    I'm using the JSTL tag libraries with OC4J 9.0.3. I'm using JDeveloper10.1.2. I put the fmt.tld and c.tld in the WEB-INF directory and I'm adding the jstl.jar and standard.jar library to the EAR file. Both tlds have:

  • Unable to use Intel 530 SSD with M5400

    Hello! 
    I finally decided to write over here, after reading and viewing a lot of forums lately on this subject. 
    Context: 
    I have an Lenovo M5400 (but don't think this is definitory to the problem, as I've seen that the same simptoms seem to exist to other lenovo models as well) with the SSHD drive. I bought an Intel 530 SSD (don't think the brand mathers either) and wanted to replace the SSHD with it. 
    Upon replacing the original drive with the SSD, in order to make a clean windows install, the Windows 8 installer is unable to correctly detect my drive. 
    The drive is visible in the BIOS (at times?!) and seems to interfere somehow with the booting process, as sometimes, the boot stucks with a blank screen and the green light of the drive is on permanently. (this doesn't happen all the time). 
    What I tried: 
    1) At first, I had the drive unitialized: no GPT or MBR, no partitions on it. I tried to install it as such, but failed. It was not visible to the Windows installer, only in BIOS, in the boot order, I could see it. This was done in BIOS legacy mode. 
    2) I tried loading drivers in the Windows installer, via the "Load driver" option, when you get the message "W couldn't find any drives" or something like that. That was unsuccessful with the following: a) lenovo ahci drivers, from the online driver store, b) my previous windows drivers, which I took on a USB stick, c) some drivers from intel site.
    3) At this point, the Intel firmware update bootable tool was not seeing my drive either.  
    4) I then initialized my drive by connecting it via a SATA-to-USB cable to my computer and repeated step 2), with no success still. I initialized it as MBR but I doubt that initializing it as GPT would have made a diffrence. I tried both with creating a primary and active partition and with leaving the drive initialized with all the space unallocated. No success. 
    5) I tried to update lenovo BIOS, because I suspect it's the cause of the problem, but was unable to do so. Downloaded the bios utility but it gives me an error "Bios folder ... ". With the bootable bios cd, it doesn't work: it doesn't boot. Has anyone managed to flash a newer bios? There is one posted on 09/30/2013 on the site, and my current one is 09/26/2013, as shown in BIOS. 
    6) I then fiddled with various BIOS modes: uefi, legacy, both with priority, but with no success. 
    At one point, I managed to see the drive in the windows installer, it was in UEFI mode only, with WIn 8 Optimized defaults ( I think) but I feared that it was just a single happening and didn't do anything, instead tried to see which settings worked in order to be able to reproduce this. I completly lost my chance, as after that, I didn't see the drive again in the windows installer. When it worked, I didn't have to load any driver. It saw it as MBR and prompted to format is as GPT, in order to use with UEFI booting. 
    The things I noticed: 
    On some occasions, in the bios boot order menu, the drive is identified as an Intel ssd, and on others just as an generic ATA HDD. I think there is a bad link between those two. When I reboot, restart, on some occasions I see it as the Intel drive and on others as the generic one. I think that in the case of generic drive, the windows installer has no chance on recognizing it. 
    When it is seen in the bios though, I get all sort of problems when trying to boot a CD or USB, as it seems to ignore them and get stuck in the boot process. I think that in this situations it correctly detects the SSD, if I were to look in the BIOS. But when I try to boot the CD or the USB in these situations, it just stucks with the green drive light permanently on, and with the CPU working on something ( I hear the fans starting) and the boot stops here indefinetly. I have to restart, and then, depending on the case, I get the same results, or I can boot the CD but don't find the drive. 
    I don't know by what chance I managed to "capture" it once in the windows installer but think this should be the common case. 
    After all these, what I suspect is that the Lenovo BIOS is broken somehow. It messes up with the boot order, because although I have priority for the DVD, the boot gets stuck on trying to do something with the SSD, as described above. 
    I am in the situation of returning the SSD back to the shop, as it is unusable with the current Lenovo m5400 motherboard/bios or whatever other hardware interferes with making it properly work ( ahci controller?). 
    I am very upset by this, and have seen that on these very boards, there are other posts as well, not on this model, but on other lenovo models, with the same scenarios and simptopms as mine, which didn't get any solution. 
    So, is there an answer to my problem? To update the BIOS? How to make the BIOS to not mess up with the boot order and get stuck? I tried all the possible combinations with no success and it's really frustrating. 
    Another update: 
    A lot of people seem to be having problem with the particular Intel 530 SSD. So this issue may not be related only to the motherboard/bios. I will post links to the corresponding threads from the intel boards: 
    https://communities.intel.com/thread/49389?start=15&tstart=0
    https://communities.intel.com/thread/52959
    https://communities.intel.com/thread/51111
    Does anyone have any idea or hint if using other software for initializing the SSD than Computer Management/diskpart is of any help? Like EASUS partition manager or Gparted? Maybe the disk isn't partitioned correctly. 
    The disk isn't detected as an Intel SSD with the SATA-to-USB cable, instead being masked by it. Maybe this is another problem?

    Hello! I have the same problem as you. 
     I tried  to connect OCZ Vertex 2 60GBSSD but I failed. It has the same conntroller SandForce but the older generation. 
    Maybe that's the problem?
    I was unable to install it on Windows 8.1, when I switched to the BIOS to ACHI mode Capability mode. But later he again loaded with it, then the BIOS will not see it to be.
    I think the problem in the BIOS! I have 2.03 the latest. 

  • Using an InCopy package with different versions of the same InDesign file

    Hi,
    I head up the studio for a London based design agency. We are looking into using InCopy with one of our clients (who will be off-site). In particular this will be working on Annual Reports.
    As an example the issue I am coming up against is the following:
    So far I imagine that we would have our InDesign file and create an InCopy package of all the stories to send to our client. With the content size of these type of documents it may be several days before we receive anything back. In the time between it is inevitable that we will need to carry out design changes. With our current workflow this would involve saving a new version of the InDesign file. When we receive the original InCopy package back from our client we may be working on a version 1..2..3,etc of the InDdesign layout. BUT the InCopy package wants to link to the original file we made the InCopy package from. Is there a way to link the InCopy package into our new InDesign file.
    Many Thanks

    You could try renaming the new file with the old name but I don't think
    that's that's going to be a recipe for success.
    Other than that, you're using a very dangerous workflow. Everything here
    is designed to revolve around a single InDesign file with however many
    assignments or packages there are.

  • Using other software libraries with Logic

    Hi, I'm a new Logic user, so this may be a basic question.
    I use a lot of orchestral sounds in my writing, and the ones bundled with Logic Studio fall pretty short of what I'm used to. I'm thinking about purchasing e-Mu's Modern Symphonic Orchestra, but I don't know if I will be able to use those sounds with Logic. Is there an easy way to add on external software libraries for use within Logic?
    Thanks in advance!

    Libraries will most probably work, depending in what format they come. If they're .EXS format, you won't need anything extra. If they come with their own player (many of 'm do) you'ld have to check that that is an Audio Unit (AU). VST won't work, it has to be AU. So check out the format and/or the Software Instrument player.
    regards, Erik.
    *PS Oops, I see I stand corrected - disregard what I said (for these Libs, that is).*
    +I almost always check these things first... this is exactly why... ;)+
    Tip: check out this site, they have a very neat search engine for Audio Plugins & Libs, and they are pretty complete: http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php

  • Using FlashAlbumExporter plug-in with trial version of Aperture 2.1

    I have aperture 1.5 and am thinking about upgrading.
    One of the features I am looking for is more variety and control in web gallery generation from Aperture.
    With this in mind I wanted to play with FlashAlbumExporter.
    I downloaded the installer file and opened it but that is where I am hitting a wall.
    I go to click the file (FlashAlbumExporter.ApertureExport) and it opens the trial version of Aperture 2.1 but I never see Flash Album Exporter as an export option after I have selected photos, projects, web pages, or anything else I could think of.
    It simply doesn't install. What am I doing wrong?

    Place the plugin bundle, FlashAlbumexporter.ApertureExport, in your Aperture Export plugin directory (Users -> "your user name" -> Library -> Application Support -> Aperture -> Plug-Ins -> Export).
    NOTE: If this is your first Aperture plug-in, the folders Plug-Ins and Export may not exist. In this case just create them first.

  • Error 4450 when trying to burn audio cd....used to work fine with older version of ITunes....

    Is Itunes not compatible with windows cd burner.....

    I'm having the same problem using 700mb cd-r, but when I try to burn smaller size playlists (300mb) it works fine. I know that when burning as an audio cd the tracks about double in size, so this makes sense. However when I try to burn a playlist 400mb (ends up as 800mb on audio cd) itunes burns most of the songs but errors out on the last few. My guess is the cd runs out of room because itunes thinks it's a 800mb cd and tries to burn that much to it, when in reality it's only a 700mb cd. itunes will actually try to split a playlist that comes out to 1200mb across 2 cds, but still tries to burn 800mb per cd and errors once the cd runs out of room before it has 800mb on it. There needs to be some way to tell it the size of the cds, or at least an update where they fix the size detection. In the mean time it looks like we're stuck with manually splitting playlists so they're smaller than 350mb (if you have cds a different size than 700mb then just keep the playlist below half the cd's capacity).
