you can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use latest version of iphoto. iphoto 11 is installed.
This is a message you got?
If so, as your post isn't clear, it may be a bogus message caused by a corrupt database.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

When opening the version of Iphoto i have an error message appears that says; You can't open your current iphoto library using this version of Iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto. What? If I can't open the current library using the latest version of iphoto, and I am asked to make changes the the newest version!!! I'm asked to run in circles chasing my tail...I had a new hard drive installed about 6 weeks ago. I am running MAC OS 10.5.8
What version of iPhoto do you have? If you're on 10.5 then you're not running the latest iPhoto
Any chance that the library was opened with another version?
Simplest solution will be to just restore from your back up. -
Opening iphoto I get an error message that says "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto." I wouldn't have a clue as to how to change to a new version of iphoto even if I wanted to.
If you don't have a backup you can resort to give this a try:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I purchased a new imac (4G, OS X 10.6.8) in Feb 2011 and thought my old iPhoto library transferred over. It wasn't. And I can't get iPhoto to open on my old mac. It says, "can't open your current version of iPhoto using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto". I don't think my old mac will support the newer version of iPhoto so I feel like I'm stuck (this is why I got a new mac -- cheaper than upgrading all my software, etc). Help! I really need to get to my old photos, and no, they are not backed up anywhere. Thanks.
You have two options:
Run the Library on a machine that has the same version as the machine that was stolen.
or
Recover the files from this library and start over from scratch.
To recover the files:
Go to your Pictures Folder (or whereever you have the back up) and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Your originals are in the Masters folder.
Note this will only recover your photos as imported from you camera.

I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...
iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.

Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2 -
I just reinstalled and this is the pop up that shows "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" what do i do next? it just keeps popping up and loading but only gives a quit button?
Update it.
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

This is the message I'm getting when I try to open iphoto. This happened after a member of the genius bar fixed the problem with the download of the update of the Mac OSX combined.Well, I'll guess it's iPhoto 11 then.

My home was recently burgularized and my Intel MacBook Pro was stolen I had a backup but my other computer is a G5 PowerPC running 10.5.8 and I am getting the following error:
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
Obviously I cannot install a newer version of iPhoto on my G5 so what recourse do I have to get my images back?

Long story short, I made a backup using TimeMachine of my iMac. I got my MBA which was being repaired and i restored from backup. Everything works fine, except for iPhoto which is not saying:
"You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?"
I have OS X 10.7.2 and iPhoto 9.1.4. I've tried:
Repairing permissions
Deleting iPhoto, installing agaian, and updating
Repaired iPhoto Library (stays stuck at 98% when rebuilding database)
I've also tried iPhoto Library manager which cannot even see the library
Tried restoring from backup from iPhoto and it messed up library (I still had my backup)
Quite frustrating - any ideas on how to get iPhoto back to life?Dunno why Software update was not displaying the latest version of iPhoto (9.2.1 as of January 27, 2012)...updating to this has fixed the issue

I had the original version of iPhoto, that came with my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.6.8). My software is up to date. This has been happening since our hard drive was repaired. I had to reinstall the iphoto, but it still doesn't work.
The latest version of iPhoto 09 is version 8.1.2. Verify that this is the version you have.
Did you connect a different computer to this one, then access your iPhoto??
Your iPhoto Library is in your pictures folder. We can tell what version the library is in the follow way.....
- locate your iPhoto Library in the pictures folder - hold down your "control" key on the keyboard, and click once on the "iPhoto Library" and select "show package content". This will show many folders. Locate the folder called “Albumdata.xml”. Again, hold down you "control" key, and click on this file, then select "open with safari". -
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto
I tried to export photos from my macbook to my iMac about a week ago using a firewire. Didn't have much luck with that but I am now getting the above subject error message when I try to open iPhoto on my macbook. Is there a way to reset iPhoto? Something must have been come from my iMac to the macbook even though I was trying to do the reverse, any help would be appreciated. I travel a lot for work and take a ton of pictures and now I can't download them on my macbook.
TIA!
FrankOK, so I was and am a fool because I did not set up any backups, I'm really not that techy of a person. I have tried to upgrade but it is not working on the version of the mac OS my macbook is on, 10.5.8. I have tried to install the download available for the version of iPhoto that my macbook is currently stating, 7.1.5 2002-2008.
I would love to restore a library if I can figure out how. Once the error message box pops up, above subject is the error message, the only option I have is to quit. I am soooooo lost.
I do have aperture 2 downloaded on my macbook but it is a pain to burn on to cd's and I cannot transfer correctly to Facebook.
I even tried to use the "Everything else" CD that came with my iMac and the only thing that happened was the CD was ejected. Any other suggestions? I think I covered why I can't do any of the 3 suggestions listed
Thanks again! -
lost IPhoto, thankfully photos are in pictures. How can I restore?
Why are you going back...? Once the photo library has been modified by a never version of iPhoto. You can not go back to the older version without losing the work done in the newer version.
1. Upgrade to the newer version of iPhoto.
2. Launch the older version of iPhoto, Import from backup and rebuild the library.

I just upgraded to Yosemite on my mac from 2010. Everything seems to work, accept Photos. When I try to open it i push the "Get started" button, then the picture with "Preparing Library" comes up. Then a message appears with the text "An unexpected error has occurred. Please quit and restart the application." I have done this several times, but nothing happens. What do I do?
