After downloading Yosemite, I can't open my iPhoto!!! Please help me!!!

I just downloaded Yosemite a few days ago and noticed that my iPhoto is not working. The message that comes up is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." so I waited for it to load but five hour later, it was not updated. Tried a few more times but it would not download and kept on telling me the same message. I don't know what to do and I'm getting frustrated. I need your help.

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.

    Did you upgrade to Lion just before setting up iCloud? that's more likely to be the issue. PhotoShop CS2 is a PPC program and won't run on Lion - on Snow Leopard it requires Rosetta to emulate PPC, and this is not included in Lion. CS3 and lateer apparently work though with issues.
    Click on the program's icon in the Finder and hit command-i. Near the top of the pane it will say 'Kind': if it says 'PowerPC' then this is the problem. It will not run on Lion and there is no workaround. You will need to revert to Snow Leopard (you could install this on an external disk and start up from that).

  • I am getting so much email after downloading Yosemite.  Reset preferences but it hasn't helped.  Any suggestions??

    After downloading Yosemite something has happened to my junk mail filter.  I am getting 40-50 junk mail messages daily.  I went in and reset the junk mail preferences but it hasn't helped.  Any suggestions???

    There is only one way to uninstall MacKeeper.

    Lord knows what it may have done to your system already, or what you may have done manually deleting items. I would suggest you backup and reinstall Yosemite. As for installing another browser, you can install anyone you like that is compatable with Mac. Chrome. FireFox, Opera etc. It's always been this way. You are not obliged to use Safari as your default browser.

  • Hi!  I have downloaded a ready-made website and I can't seem to open it.  The "theme" install instructions are talking about a "zip" file which I cannot see.  Would anyone know why I can't open it?  PLEASE HELP!!   Thanks!

    Hi Everybody
    I have downloaded three "ready-made" websites for me and it is supposed to have Wordpress in as well.  I can see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them.  It refers to a "zip" file which I don't see nor a "dmg", only a blue folder.   Can anyone help me to figure out how to get this open and set up on my computer?  I guess you can tell I'm new and very frustrated.  Thank you!

    It's not clear what you mean by 'see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them', although it seems possible that a zip file opened/unzipped to create them.
    Perhaps if you include a screenshot, and/or a link to the site where you got these, and describe exactly what happens when you try to open a folder that won't open.

  • I downloaded the camera raw 8.7 update, but can't open app. Please help!

    I've tried this on two different Mac computers. I recently bought the Nikon d750, and am unable to open any raw files with Lightroom 4 or Photoshop CS6. The 8.7 DNG converter available to download through abode is not working. I am going through all of the steps to install, but then nothing. Can't open or find it anywhere. Can someone please help. I am on a deadline!

    As mentioned it was not in the applications folder.  HOWEVER, I did a broach search on "dng" and found the "Adobe DNG Converter.app"!!! I don't know where it was hiding but moved it my desktop.  I was able to convert a folder full of NEFs and import to lightroom.  Now everrything is looking pretty good for me hopefully my last couple of posts will help lolapea1: 
    Recap 1) be sure to load the DNG converter in addition to the camera raw converter
                2) Search all folders for Adobe DNG Converter.app and move to where you can find (ie. desktop)

  • VLC Downloads fine but doesn't open application. Please help

    Hi
    Can someone please help me with my downloading problem? Excuse me if I sound like a tard but I'm really keen on learning. I searched through previous posts but didn't quite find what I was looking for.
    I download fine. Copy into applications. Everything looks good but it won't kick off. All I get is a flash of the application logo on the dock and then nothing, it disappears. I wanted to download (VLC vlc-0.8.6a.dmg) and Last.Fm (LastFMMac1.1.3.0.dmg) but no dice.
    I have downloaded in the past just fine, but only minor things like Limewire and Quicksilver, they work okay. I'm confused any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi ZZ
    vlc-0.8.6a.dmg is for 10.3.9, so that's why it wont open on your OS, which shows your have Mac OS X 10.3.5
    Either find the right one for your OS, or Upgrade to 10.3.9, hardly worth it, just to play the odd video in VLC, but they are your choices.
    I did some hunting for more info for you.
    Why doesn't VLC 0.8.6a work on 10.3, although you state it does?
    "First of all, make sure that you got 10.3.9 installed. Any earlier release, particularly 10.3.5 and below, doesn't support current versions of VLC. Additionally, while QuickTime 6.5.2 is strictly required, QuickTime 7.x is strongly recommended for performance and usability reason"
    So it doesn't look like there is an earlier version.
    If you want to use it, you must upgrade to 10.3.9.

  • Can't open Logic anymore - PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    first up i like to say "Hello" because I'm new in here!!
    And now here's my problem:
    I did not worked with Logic on my iMac, that is still on 10.4.11, since 3-4 month.
    As i now tried to open Logic - i couldn't, and that's the crashlog:
    Host Name: MahlzeitMac
    Date/Time: 2009-09-04 13:45:21.243 +0200
    OS Version: 10.4.11 (Build 8S2167)
    Report Version: 4
    Command: Logic Pro
    Path: /Applications/Logic Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro
    Parent: WindowServer [65]
    Version: 8.0.2 (1502.22)

    Referenced from: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ProKit.framework/Versions/A/ProKit
    Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation
    What i have done since i try is to delete the ProKit.framework and install it new, but did not work.
    I also completely removed Logic and all components and reinstalled, the same error occurs.
    If i remember right it is possible that i've installed the ProKit-version and i now think that requires 10.5!
    The old version was called Pro Application Support.
    I found this version - ProAppRuntime 4.0.2 - in the download-section on apple hp, but i cannot install this because i always get an error that the JavaScript check failed when i open the package!
    Can anyone please please help me to fix this problem, hopefully without reinstall the complete OSX??
    Thank you very much in advance
    Guido
    PS: If there is already a thread about this problem please inform me, i couldn't find something!

  • Can't open Garageband project, please help

    I was using a Mac Mini, 10.7.5, and recorded some vocal tracks on Garageband 11.  I clicked gospel choir vocal effect at first, and it was fine.  When I wanted to try another effect by clicking another one, the application quit.  When I tried to open the project again, the initializing window popped up, and a few seconds after, it said something like "Garageband quit unexpectedly, do you want to reopen to restore the windows".  When I clicked "reopen", it directed me back to Garageband recent project page without opening the project I was working on.  I tried to open other projects I worked on previously, and those could be opened; just not the one that I worked on recently.
    I didn't back up anything with the Time Machine because I never used it before, didn't know how to use it.
    I just saved the project to my USB drive, deleted the one on the Mac Mini, deleted Garageband, updated to iOS10.9 something, reinstalled the newest version of Garageband, tried to open the project from the USB drive, failed again.
    When I open the "show package content", some mp3 files of my recorded vocals are there.  I don't think all of what I recorded are there, but some.
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type

    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
