After inadvertently deleting Safari, I reinstalled all applications, but iphoto still won't work

After inadvertently deleting Safari, I reinstalled all applications, and all returned to full fucntion except for iPhoto.  Although the iPhoto icon appears in the dock, and despite my also having successfully downloaded the most current version of iPhoto via "Software Update, now when I open iPhoto, I get a window stating that I can’t open my "current photo library using this version of iPhoto."  The window also advises as follows: "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?"  However, despite tha apparetnly two options stated in the window--quitting or creating a new library, the only thing I can do at that point is "Quit," which closes iPhoto. When I reopen it, I enter the endless loop of window notifications documented above.  What can I do, if anything, to render iPhoto functional with regard to the photos I had saved to it before I had to reinstall all of the applications on my iMac?  Alternatively, are those photos lost forever?  Please advise.

It's hard to say for sure, because we do not know what version you had or have now.
You should have to pay again if you already paid for an iPhoto upgrade at one time or another. All you should have to do go to the App Store select Purchases and reinstall that version of iPhoto.
If you did not Purchase an iPhoto upgrade from the App Store, then you will need to look and see what version of iPhoto you have (6, 8 or 9) and then as Carolyn suggests update it with the latest update for that version.
see > Apple - Support - Downloads
FWIW, I do believe that iPhoto 9.2.3 is the latest version of iPhoto 11 that will run in 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

  • I found how to delete a series from my ipad, but it still won't download the last episode of the new series I am trying to have.  What have I done wrong?

    What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
    If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
    Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
                     GarageBand 6.0.5
    GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system.  But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio.  Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I just updated to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3 because After Effects CS6 would't open anymore. But it still does't work. Does anyone know what to do. Please in simple English, because I'm from Germany.

    Thx.

    Thank you so much, Mr. Curtis! I'm not sure exactly how that worked, but it allowed me to get back on both AE and Premiere Pro. 10 points to you!
    Also, for the  other people that may have similar problems and are viewing this forum, definitely try this out. Listen to Jim's advice, don't use the most recent version (which is currectly 5.5.47) - instead try a slightly older one. The one I had installed was version 5.5.24.
    Once again, thank you! You saved my project!

  • TS1398 My iPad & iPhone won't connect to iTunes store.... it worked just fine earlier today... but not now. Nothing has changed.  I've gone through all of Apples suggested troubleshooting guides but it still won't work! Help?

    My iPad & iPhone won't connect to iTunes store.... it worked just fine earlier today... but not now.
    My daughter also has an iPad and an iPhone and these too won't connect either (use the same iTunes account)
    Nothing has changed since this morning,  I've gone through all of Apples suggested troubleshooting guides but it still won't work!
    Help?

    p.s.  I just signed out of my apple id on daughters iPad and tried to create a new apple ID and still got the message CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE......    
    so is this a problem with apple rather than my devices? Just seems weird that all our apple devices are doing this this afternoon when they were just fine this morning.......

  • My phone has the correct AppleID in the in settings section but asks me to login with one that isn't mine.  I deleted the ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with mine. How do I get my iPhone on the same page?

    My iphone4 has the correct Apple ID in the information settings section and asks me to login to my ID most of the time but when I try to update my apps, it asks me to login with an ID that isn't mine.  I deleted the wrong ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with my own ID to update apps.  How do I get my iphone on the same page?

    How did you obtain these apps? All apps are DRM protected & tied forever to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID(account), nor can they be updated using any Apple ID other than the one that was used to originally obtain them.

  • Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

    I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • The back button won't activate till the second change. I have uninstalled and removed all directories for firefox still won't work after reintall

    I have firefox 3.6 installed and have been using it for years. All the sudden last week the back button wouldn't work till I go to the second web address change. For example if I start at forums.sagetv.com and select a post I can't hit the back button till I select another article. I have uninstalled firefox deleted all the directories, rebooted and reinstalled the problem still comes back.

    I started having this EXACT same issue a few day ago. I found out that it was the McAfee site advisor causing the problem. Click the Tools drop-down and select add-ons. In the add-ons window, click the Extensions panel. Select McAfee and disable it.
    Hope this helps, Arielle!

  • Firefox won't work after I have installed the latest update. I have reinstalled from scratch and it still won't work. There is no AVG plugin.

    I installed the latest update and now am unable to reach any website. I have reinstalled twice. I still have bookmarks, etc. via sync, but when I enter a URL nothing happens. There is no AVG plugin. My internet connection is fine -- I am using it to send this message via internet explorer.

    Did you try browsing Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] ?
    Please, disable all addons and try then browsing the Web...
    What is the current version of your OS and Firefox?
    Do you use any other anti-viruses?

  • My i pad has sound but when it comes to all the applications they dont have volume. I go to the settings of the applications but it still does not work.

    i pad with no sound on applications

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

    Hi kjohns2001,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you do not have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you don't need iCloud.
    It is a service that keeps these devices and your computer synchronized.
    iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
    iCloud keeps mail, contacts, and calendars up to date between your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC, and lets you share calendars and task lists.
    So, you can uninstall it from the Control Panel in Windows.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • I cannot connect to my camera at all. I have tried turning it off then on and downloading all the camera apps but it still won't work. My iPod doesn't even give me the option to use anywhere.

    My iPod doesn't give me any choice to access the camera. I have tried sownloading a camera app and restarting my iPod but when I had the camera app the screen just turned black. Any idea what's going on?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • After updating my iPad to ios7 my kindle cloud reader will not open. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still won't open.

    After updating my iPad 2 to ios7, my kindle cloud reader will not open. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it still won't open.

    I am experiencing the same thing. My Kindle cloud reader (icon/shortcut placed on my iPad screen) was working fine before I updated to ios7. I can go to Amazon's website and directly log into the cloud reader and it works fine, but when I make a copy/shortcut onto my iPad's screen (from Safari), and try to login, the login screen just sits there doing nothing. I can even put in a false username and password, hit enter, and the login screen just sits there.  Knowing that Apple has made life as difficult as it can for Amazon/Kindle ( demanding outrageous fees for user to purchase books directly through the Kindle app), I wonder if the ios7 was designed to give kindle cloud readers trouble. Note, you could always login to the cloud reader directly from the amazon site, purchase the books, then use the actual kindle reader ( where thanks to Apple you can't purchase books) to read the books.

  • After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?
