Books imported from previous version of iPhoto

We have recently bought a new iMac and installed iLife 09. We imported the iPhoto Library from our old G4 iBook which was iPhoto Version 5.0.4. The import went well, except that this new version of iPhoto has completely different themes for books. SO... whenever we open an old book it comes up with the message "the theme this book was created in is no longer available in this version, please choose a new theme. You may lose some data" or words to that effect. Unfortunately we have spent months creating books that are to be given as portfolios to the parents of the preschool children at the preschool where I work. They include a fair bit of text as well as photos. We have experimented with a few of the themes in iPhoto '09 but they all seem to mess up the layout (adding a dust cover inside flap where the 1st page used to be) and text seems to be missing. Has anyone got any ideas for a solution so we can continue to build these important portfolios to give out at the end of the year. Thanks!

There is only one way to do this and that's continue to use iPhoto 5.
Regards

  • I cannot recover back up's from previous versions?? Really??

    Every time I try to recover back ups from previous versions of iPhoto, it crashes as it doesn't see the image as a jpg file. Any suggestions? These photo's are an invaluable part of my business!!

    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.  Now insert the disc in the optical drive and try copying photos from the disc library into the new library.  If you can then that means you current library is damaged.
    If that's the case then make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there?

    Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there? It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was  a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?

    1. No, you haven't.
    2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
    3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.

  • Why don't new events created by importing go to the end of events (become the last event) like with previous version of iPhoto?

    View Menu -> Sort Events.

  • Can I import Events and Projects from previous versions of iMovie

    I just installed the latest version of iMovie - but I have a bunch of projects, events, etc. from previous version - going way back.  Is there a way to move those items into the new version.

    Yes.  File - Update Projects and Events.  Your iMovie 9 folders will still be available.  (I would not delete any iMovie 9 stuff untill you are happy with iMovie 10 - its quite different.)

  • I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I open my i photo library there are no pictures.  The message is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.Scared to hit upgrade!!!

    I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I opened i photo, it says the photo livrary needs to be upgraded to work with this version of I photo.  Where are my pictures?  The message 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".  I'm scared to upgrade!!  Does this mean my photos can't be read once I upgrade?  Where are my pictures?

    First have you backed up  your computer, if you have and your iPhoto library is in the back up you have nothing to be concerned about. If you are not using at least Time Machine to back up your system then you should be concerned because well frankly that is simply bad computing practice and you risking all of your data.
    As for the message you received all that means is your system was using an earlier version of iPhoto with the version of OS X you previously had installed and now that you have updated to 10.9.2 (Mavericks) your version of iPhoto has also upgraded and  needs to get ready to import all of your pictures. If you have backup then you should be confident the upgrade will go through smoothly, Apple generally has very good instructions and will not give bad advice, second guessing them may be cautious but is generally unnecessary.

  • I get a message that my photo library needs to be upgraded and my photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade.  I don't dare do anything.  Please help

    I keep getting a message when I try to open iphoto that says that my photo library needs to be upgraded and my library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade.  What do I do??

    Depends - you first off need to suypply us with information since we only know what you tell us
    Like what version of iPhoto are you using? Have you recently installed any iPhoto (or iLife) updates or upgrades? Do you plan to use this iPhoto library with two or more different versions of iPhoto (no possible so stop now if you do)? Where is your iPhoto library?
    Anything else that you can tell us that might let us give you a good answer to your question

  • Delayed response of when moving objects in diagram and panel, happend in LV 6, only for vi's compiled from previous versions. any suggestions?

    When I using the mouse to select portion of the diagram or the panel, or when I moving objects- I found that in all the vi's that I compiled from former versions of labview- there is a delay of close to a second to the actual selection or movement of the item. This happens in 2 machines out of 5 that I tested it, and it happened both in windows 2000 and in windows 98. any suggestions?

    Sometimes a video driver issue. Update your video driver.
    Or turn down the video driver hardware acceleration. Right-click an
    empty area of the desktop, choose the Settings tab, choose the Advanced
    button.
    The location of this differs in different versions of Windows.
    Win2000: go to Troubleshooting, and turn down the slider for hardware
    acceleration.
    Win98: I think it's on another tab.

  • Bring back lost Creation types from previous versions of Elements?

    I would like to see some of the Creation types from previous versions of Elements that appear to have been lost in the lastest verions reinstated - either within the product or as downloadable options. Specifically I use the 'Album Pages / Seasons' creations in PE4 a lot but looking through a download of PE7 they are no longer there.
    If this can be addressed it would also help me enormously to be able to repeat text boxes on each page (same text, font & position) on each page in just the way I already can with headers and footers.
    Any support for this type of thing?

    after upgrading to os maverick iPhoto wants to upgrade it says..Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. What exactly will I lose, what will not be readable?

    In the current version of iPhoto, nothing.
    In previous versions of iPhoto, the ability to access any part of it.
    Back it up before doing this.

  • Adobe Supplied Templates from previous versions.

    does anyone know where i can find Adobe-supplied templates from previous versions of AI?
    i used a swatch for a client graphic and have since lost the laptop it was on. Am now in cs5 and think the swatch was from cs2 or 3.
    searching this (or any site) for templates, AI CS2/3, not getting me far.
    any help much appreciated.

    You could try this (scroll down) and the following 3 or 4 pages:

  • Reconnect from previous versions of pse

    I accidently deleted some files where  photos are stored. Can I somehow reconnect from previous versions of pse that are backed up on cd's. I am running pse 11.

    You can copy the photos to your computer from your backups and PSE Organizer will find them automatically if you put them in the correct folder which your current configuration knows about it.
    You just need to copy the photos and organizer can do the rest.
    Good luck.

  • In my previous version of iphoto, I could display the keyword under each picture. However, since my last upgrade, I do not see this feature. Was it discontinued?

    In my previous version of iphoto, I could display the keyword under the photo. I don't see it in my latest upgrade. Is it still possible? How?

    No it's not.
    IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and let them know what you think.
