Wife and I have shared iPhoto library that resides in a shared disc image on my MacMini HD. Works fine when logged in to my profile. In wife's profile, when opening iPhoto we get the message "the iPhoto library needs to be upgraded...".
We're both on version 9.5.
I've verified the permissions and rebuilt the library.
If I select 'upgrade' the library will open but it clearly shouldn't be happening and it is inconvenient.
Thanks in advance for the help!

The most successful is using an external disk with ownership ignored

I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly". I am an old dude new to Mac OS. Looked in settings but have no idea how to allow file sharing to myself. I have been using Aperture actively for 6 weeks. I'm the only one using this Mac. What up?
Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar. -

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cash. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct this problem. I did this and still get this same message.Also now when deleting images they don't delete till I close and reopen Bridge. What can i do to fix this problem?
Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
Reset Preferences
Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
Reset Standard Workspaces
Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences. -
When opening iTunes, I get the following error message: "The registry setting used by the iTunes drivers for importing an burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
I have reinstalled iTunes twice and still get the message.
Any clues??
Thank you.I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.
Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

my imac will not connect to wifi what so ever. i have tried 3 different routers and all my other apple devices work fine. when i take it to the genius bar it seems to work with apples instore wifi. thus leading the "geniuses" to say nothing is wrong.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

I have an older Macbook with OS/X. Tried to download iTunes 10 a few times now, but when installing I always get the same error message: Run Preinstall Script for Apple Mobile Device Support. What can I do to finalise the installation?
Thanks. Short of the sort of "generic" suggestions of restaring your system, if you haven't, and repairing disk permissions and verifying the disk, I don't have any advice right now. I'll do some research and see if I can come across anything. Meanwhile, someone else may have an idea.

I am having this same issue with Windows XP. The exact message that I get everytime that I open iTunes is :

I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes three times. I also have a problem with iTunes randomly opening itself. -

I started having this issue when I went to open Skype and it would not react and gave the message below. Then when I went back to firefox I got the above error message, which dissappears when I click OK and firefox will open. Skype still will not open.
That is a problem with the Skype extension.<br />
You will have to disable (uninstall) that extension if it isn't working properly.

I recently upgraded to OS 10.7.4 - I'm guessing this is the problem??? What can I do?
No, you should not lose any music. Still, some have complained that installing a new iTunes caused them to lose their music. I strongly suspect they did something else wrong. I always back up before I do any major changes to my computer. If something happens that I don't like I can just restore.

When opening XHTML page, getting error message "Attribute ....space not declared for element 'pre' "
Hi all,
We are trying to use XHTML to author some of our documentation. The plan is to use FrameMaker to convert the docs to PDF format.
The input file contains the following offending line:
<pre xml:space="preserve">
This should be allowed according to the www.w3.org/1998/xhtml spec.
The actual FM log message is:
Message: Attribute '{http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace}space' is not declared for element 'pre'
Any hints? I am using Frame Maker 9, by the way.
Thanks,
FrancesIn case anyone is interested the base solution given by dvohra09 can be expanded to solve the problems.
(1) It appears the parser raises errors against any unknown attributes, including xmlns:xxx="...". Solution is either to declare them in the dtd element you would like them to appear in (as in answer from dvohra09 ).
(2) You have to explicitly force the tags in the DTD into the correct namespace using prefixs to ensure the correct ones are picked up , e.g.:
<!ELEMENT nstag:mytag (mysubtag+)>
<!ATTLIST nstag:mytag xmlns:nstag CDATA #FIXED "http://www.someOtherURI.com/xxx">
you then have to refer to the tag as <nstag:mytag>.
This doesn't appear to be how the XML/namespace specs (or the slideshow example) say it should be. They imply (1) should silently declare the new namespace prefix, and (2) should work without prefixes because the DTD filename is used as an explicit namespace. -
On my MacBookPro - After updating iPhoto 11 to version 9.3.1, it does not open and shows a box "Aperture library needs to be upgraded" with choices to update or Quit. If I quit it closes iPhoto - if I try to update it goes to the App Store and requires a purchase of Aperture - I do not want to purchase Aperture.
If you tried the First Aid Tools without success, make a backup of the iPhoto Library and rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Terence Devlin:
uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo 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.
