After upgrading to Leopard, I can't access iPhoto

I get a window saying "You cannot use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of Mac OS X." When I try to download a newer version, a get a window saying something about how it can't be found in applications.
All my pix are in there. Can anyone advise me?
Thanks.

yikes, I had to move all my years of iPhoto folders/pix from very old iMac to a new HP laptop with PC Vista Home Premium....now finally ready and hoping to do years worth of photo albums! so I go in to these files and of course they don't open...because they're on pc.
- I am techno ignorant on all this, what can I do? Is there any way I can open these on PC or do I need to go back and reinstall on a very very very old AND slow slow slow mac? these photos were created in 199, 200, 2001 up through 2007 so through many versions of iPhoto and Mac OS. I am hoping I can retrieve them - and very worried I cannot! Would love advice and help.
- and on a separate note, any good, inexpensive iPhoto and iTunew wizard/tech support professionals out there in the Menlo Park, CA area?

After upgrading to Lion I can't access time capsule pre lion.

Last week I backedup to time capsule via cable.
I then upgraded to Lion.
After upgrading I backedup to TC again.
Now my MBP 17 can't access time capsule pre lion. So I can't see any of my last 2 years of Snow Leopard data.

Crazy problems after upgrading to Leopard. Can you help?

I have a PowerMac G5, 1.8 dual processors. It came with 256MB of RAM, which I removed and replaced with 2GB of Crucial RAM soon after purchasing the computer nearly four years ago. I added a 250GB Maxtor hard drive to the 60GB original two years ago. I used the Maxtor drive for storage. Everything ran perfectly before Leopard and iLife ’08 installation.
Prior to installation, I cleaned off the 250GB Maxtor hard drive, and then installed Leopard to it using only the installation instructions on the disk. (FYI, I bought both programs from a local Apple store.) When prompted, I had it bring over the software and files from the original hard drive. My idea was to clean off the original, 60GB hard drive, and use it for storage. Due to problems galore, I have not done that.
When I waken my computer from an all-night Sleep mode, the following happens:
iWeb ’08 will load, but I cannot save anything to it.
Safari will load and immediately freeze.
Firefox will not load because it reports that it is already open.
Entourage will open initially, but then report it cannot open virtually any functions.
Word for Mac will open, but nothing can be saved.
iPhoto will open, but it cannot be used.
This is how it goes for every program—none are useable.
Though I attempt to use the Force Quit option, programs will not close. I am forced to do a hard quit—holding down the power button until the computer powers off. Upon reboot, all programs work fine. The trouble seems to occur after going into Sleep mode.
Just now I used the Disk Utility program, which upon completion, reported the following:
Verify permissions for “Whopper” (the name of the 250GB hard drive)
ACL found but not expected on “Library.”
Permissions verification complete
Repairing permissions for “Whopper”
ACL found but not expected on “Library.”
Permissions repair complete
I am now running a test on the RAM, using Rember, as suggested in another thread. –All tests passed.
So, there you have it.
Suggestions?

You're not kidding, are you? Can I choose door number 2? To say that I'm disappointed and disillusioned would be insufficient. I've done precisely what I learned at a local Apple Store.
Sorry, I'm not kidding. But it isn't that big a deal. You are probably just frustrated and disillusioned based on your experiences with your flaky install. Try to remember how you felt about upgrading to Leopard before. That optimism is still warranted, with a little effort.
I'm sure Apple's official instructions work fine 99% of the time, but there is no way that Apple or anyone can guarantee an automatic upgrade. That is why Apple always says to have a good backup before any upgrade.
Would you translate what you instructed me to do? I don't know how to re-partition my original drive, nor do I know how to do a default MacOS X installation. It reads like I'm going to get a virtually naked machine, with none of the settings or files from before. Is that correct?
Yes. That is correct. You start with a naked drive and install everything from scratch. Your machine will be "as if" it came from the factory with Leopard installed.
You can boot off of the Leopard install DVD and run Disk Utility from the Tools? menu and delete partition on your "Whopper" drive. Then, return to the installer and just accept all the defaults. You don't have to worry about "upgrade install" vs. "archive & install". This will give you a fresh system.
Is it possible to wipe-out what I have done on the newer hard drive (250GB), and go back to the original 60GB drive? Is it possible to start again, or are the files on that drive now converted to the new? Does that make sense?
It would be ideal if you could throw away everything on the new drive. You can always copy off any new or modified files and restore those later. It sounds like you haven't been able to do much on Leopard anyway. It also sounds like you still have your 60 GB original, pre-leopard backup, which is a very good thing.
There may be some people who will tell you to do an "Archive and Install" to install a new 10.5. That will probably work too. You will have to resist the temptation to go into the archived area and just start copying files back. That would likely put you right back where you started. The same goes for any of the "migration" tools. For all I know, they work great 99% of the time. I've never tried them and I've had problems 0% of the time. The reason I always recommend a re-partition is because it guarantees you have a factory install. It makes restoring more difficult, but I consider that to be a good thing.
Here is my recommendation:
1) Make sure you have a backup of your current boot drive
2) Boot from from install DVD
3) Use Disk Utility to re-partition boot drive
4) Reinstall MacOS X using default options
5) Reinstall any applications
6) Setup user environment the way you want
7) Copy over your old user and data files into a quarantined location.
8) While maintaining backups of your new preferences and settings files, selectively restore your old files. These are things like your old Address book, your old Mail folder, and 3rd party application preferences files that contain license codes, etc.
Step 1-5 will take a couple of hours. Step 6, 7, and 8 may take a few days to get sorted out the way you want.

Can't access IPhoto after upgrade to Yosemite

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and can't access iPhoto. I've tried to install the upgrade, but it just sits there saying Installing, but nothing is working. Tried the IPhoto Upgrader without success. It says that it was not necessary for me to use the upgrader. Help! I need access to all of my pics!

Use Launchpad to cancel the download and try again.

Can't printscreen after upgrade to Leopard ????

Hi everyone ! I have a problem after upgraded to Leopard and installed Vista Ultimate on my Macbook-pro 17in-2.4. I can't use printscreen key command. I don't know what's problem. Does anybody have the same this problem ? Please help me or share some information with me ! Thanks for your concerning.

I have the same problem after upgrading from boot camp beta 1.3 to boot camp 2.0 with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard on a Macbook Pro 15 inch. I used to press fn-f11 or fn-option-f11 to capture either the screen or the current window. This has now apparently stopped working.

After upgrading to Maverick, I can no longer access iTunes Store.

Hi,
After upgrading to Maverick, I can no longer access to iTunes stores. The layout for Mac AppStore also doesn't display properly. Perhaps the most annoying part is when I need to access secure website (even google.com), where I need to authorize the certificate. My current connection is behind proxy, but have no issues on all this issues before upgrading to Maverick. Please assist.

Hello segordon21,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To move voice memos to your computer please follow the steps from the iOS 8 Help below.
Move recordings to your computer
You can sync voice memos with the iTunes library on your computer, then listen to them on your computer or sync them with another iPhone or iPod touch.
When you delete a synced voice memo from iTunes, it stays on the device where it was recorded, but is deleted from any other iPhone or iPod touch you synced. If you delete a synced voice memo on iPhone, it’s copied back to iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes, but you can’t sync that copy back to iTunes a second time.
Sync voice memos with iTunes. Connect iPhone to your computer, then in iTunes select iPhone. Select Music at the top of the screen (between Apps and Movies), select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,” and click Apply.
Voice memos synced from iPhone to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. Voice memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos app on iPhone, but not in the Music app.
Move recordings to your computer
Take care,
Alex H.

Can't use Airport Express after upgrading to Leopard

I use Airport Express for wireless printing and AirTunes via powered speakers/hifi. It was working very reliably until I upgraded to Leopard. Now, I am unable to use Airport Express. I get the blinking orange light, but when I scan with Airport Utility, Airport Express is not detected. Manual setup is grayed out, so I can't set it up at all. I am using Airport Utility Version 5.2.2 (522.3), and there does not seem to be any updates or patches to apply at the moment. I have tried on my iMac G5 and MacBook, with the same result on both computers.
I am also reading that many others are having problems with Airport Express after upgrading to Leopard, perhaps not with my specific hardware configuration, but this is very disappointing.
I am open to suggestions to try a few things to get it working, so any help is appreciated.

After upgrading to lion I can use my printer HP Laserjet 1200

After upgrading to lion I can no longer print to the copier on our local network. Tried everything but did not work. Please help

If you just upgraded to Lion, you get 90 days of complimentary support, so don't be bashful. Call 'em. I called Apple support and they resolved this specific issue. We first verified that a newly created Admin account could create and edit Address Book. When it did, we rightly assumed corruption in the Address Book Library files.
Here are the steps from that point.
Back up your Address Book: From Address Book, choose File > Export and choose Export vCard to a desitnation of your choosing.
Close Address Book.
From the Desktop, Hold Option and click Go in the menu at the top of the screen.
Choose Library. If this is not an option, you are not pressing the Option key or you are not an Admin.
Expand the Application Support folder and drag the AddressBook folder to the Trash. Close window.
Open Address Book and import your address book vCard.
Lion has changes that remind me of Windows 2000 where folders are hidden even to Admins. Apple is purposefully hiding files and folders they don't think anyone should be seeing. If you want Admin priviledges you had in Leopard or earlier versions, you need to upgrade to a Root user...highly not recommended.

Motion screen is completely black after upgrading to Leopard

Hi,
I have opened IDVD for the first time after upgrading to Leopard and it does not work correctly anymore.
The motion screen is in black and does not show anything (while you can hear the sound of the theme selected)
This happens with already created projects and new projects
All since upgraded to Leopard
It is possible to see a movie in an already created project, if you are able to go through the menuscreens and select the movie without actually seeing anything. Than the movie is shown correctly.
I work with the latest version of Leopard and IDVD, all on a macbook
Hope you can help !!
Thanks a lot

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks.

I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

Keyboard issues after upgrading to Leopard

Seems there's been quite a bit of discussion about this topic already but it's been confined to laptops and I haven't seen a solution yet. I'm seeing the same problems on a desktop computer using either a wireless or USB keyboard.
After upgrading to Leopard, my keyboard would occasionally stop responding to keystrokes. I have seen this happen on both an Apple USB keyboard and my Logitech wireless keyboard. With either keyboard, the letter and number keys would stop responding but keys like the CapsLock and Delete keys would still work. I have seen this happen when using Mac Office 2004 (Excel and Word) and Safari. With Excel, when the keyboard stops responding, if I click on a different cell, the keyboard comes back. I did update to 10.5.2 and I do have the latest version of the Logitech software but the problems still persist.
Strangely, I have only seen this happen on my MacPro but NOT my MacBook. There is a difference on how each machine was upgraded to Leopard though. On my MacBook, I did a clean install of Leopard on a new hard drive and then migrated my docs and apps from the old drive. On my Mac Pro, I did an upgrade installation over Tiger. Fortunately, I cloned my hard drive prior to installing Leopard so going back is an option and so is doing a clean install followed by a migration which is what I did on my MacBook.
Is there a fix for the keyboard problems? Am I going to have to downgrade back to Tiger?

Thanks for posting this. I thought I was alone in the universe. I have the problem with my mini, which came with Leopard installed. The USB keyboard will stop working in Word or Entourage ('04) and I have to close and reopen the document to get the keyboard going again. Thankfully, my mouse still works when this happens, so I can use it to close and save.
It seems to sometimes be triggered when I switch between applications, but I haven't been able to replicate it consistently. It is particularly bad when using find in Word. The find window will go dead and I have to close it and reopen it to do another search. (Though interestingly, I don't have to close the Word doc.)
It's irritating.

MacBook Pro spontaneously wakes from sleep after upgrading to Leopard?

For some reason, after I upgraded to Leopard, then whenever I put my MacBook Pro to sleep, it spontaneously wakes up after some time (can be from a few minutes to an hour or two.) I don't know why this is happening, but I know for sure that it's related to Leopard since I put my laptop to sleep every night (it's in my bedroom) and after upgrading to Leopard, it started to just wake up a short while after putting it to sleep.
At first I thought it could be Time Machine, so I disconnected all my external drives, but that didn't seem to work.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same issue. Installed Leopard last night on my first-gen 1.83 MacBook. The next morning the Mac was a little slow in wanting to wake up. After that it stalled on transferring a large file from my G5 and I had to issue a reboot command via the shell to get it out of that. A few minutes later the computer locked up when trying to apple > tab through the application.
I put it to sleep after restarting the Mac from that freeze. A while later while walking out of the house I happened to glance at the Macbook and saw the apple glowing while the lid was shut and then it went back to sleep.
Tonight I put the Macbook to sleep on the way out to dinner. I noted that I had 84% of my battery left. A few hours later when I got home the MB was warm, the apple was glowing and I had 9% of my battery left.
Looks like there is some work to be done asap for 10.5.1

Sound input (line-in) not working after upgrade to Leopard

I have upgraded my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo (white plastic frame version) to Leopard on Friday when it released. The upgrade process went very well with one MAJOR exception: Audio input through "Line-in" connection does not work anymore. I have tried everything that comes to mind so far from rebooting, to unplugging and replugging, to checking back all system settings, etc. Nothing works. At this point, I can't use my headset anymore for making calls with Skype or using voice chat in games. I would seriously need some help as I refuse to have paid $129 only to have Apple themselves break something in their products.
For this reason, I have to currently consider Leopard a failure. Reason being, in MS Windows or Linux, there always is a way around to make things work... I can't find anything at all with this release of the OS.

The OP reported their line-in input "broke" after upgrading to Leopard, however my MBP stopped recognising input from the mic on my headset a few weeks ago when I was still running Tiger. This might possibly indicate that the change in OS X's handling of the line-in input was present in a Tiger update, but I can't remember the exact correlation between the dates of my last update and this problem. All the same, I'm pretty annoyed that a headset that worked perfectly for several months is now suddenly unusable without a USB adapter.
Prior to stumbling across this thread, I visited two Apple stores, who both tested with an output from an iPod and told me that the input was working fine, leading me to buy a brand-new headset (even though I'd tested other working headsets without success) which, naturally, produced the same results.
Seems to me that the hardware is fully capable of processing a mic input through the line-in port, as it's never had any problems with any unpowered source until recently, so Apple must surely be able to undo the change they made?

Fonts Missing in Mail after upgrading to Leopard

After upgrading to Leopard, the fonts are missing in the font window in Mail program. I can compose only using what looks like helvetica. This is true only with this program. Any suggestions? Thanks

After an elimination process, it appeared that there was a conflict of some sort on one of the accounts I had and unfortunately, that was the one with the most messages. Its a pain but my only work around it was to start all over again with Mail. If it helps yo, this is what I did: a) backed up my Mail : user/library/mail and backed up the preference file : user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
b) removed the Mail preference : user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
c) restarted Mail and created the accounts all over again via the setup helper
d) imported the mail boxes from where I saved them including those in the 'pop' folder
Now I have they old messages available in a folder I renamed 'archived' that is in the "ON MY MAC" section of the side bar.
IT IS TEDIOUS AND I AM PRETTY SURE THERE IS A MORE ACCURATE SOLUTION OUT THERE TO THIS PROBLEM.
