Can I download images from a DVD created with a newer version of iPhoto?

Hi, my first discussion forum! Why can't I download image files from a DVD created on my mother's computer(iMac G4 with Mac OS 10.4.11)?. She's running iPhoto6 and I'm running iPhoto5. Are'n't they compatible? The disc loads up OK then says at the bottom of iPhoto page "No Photos". Have tried with several disks. Many Thanks for yr help anyone.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
No, iPhoto 5 can't read a library or DVD created in iPhoto 6, because the structure of the libraries are much different.
Your Mac should be able to read the DVD. Use the Finder to copy the contents of the disc to your Desktop. Then from iPhoto, you can File > Import to library the Originals folder that you copied from the DVD. If your mom did lots of photo editing, you could also import the Modified folder. However, there is no way for you to re-link the edits to their originals. You will not be able to access her keywords, titles, ratings, and other iPhoto organizational metadata.
Regards.

  • Itunes library can't be opened because it was created with a newer version

    my brother downgraded itunes from 7 to 6.0.4 and my library is no longe able to be read. but he was able to get it to work on his login. what do i do.

    I too have fallen foul of the awful iTunes, version 7, which gives me distortion very quickly after starting a track, and seems to be missing the nice equalizer. The only advice I can offer for the future is keep a copy(say burnt on DVD) of all iTunes software versions. Also periodically burn a copy of the iTunes music folder which is usually in the MyMusic folder, onto DVD (or several DVD's), or put it onto a separate external hard drive if you have one. (However, don't have the hard drive connected when you upgrade iTunes software, as it looks in all places for iTunes files and as has happened with version 7, changes their format.) Then if you need to re-install, you can put a previous iTunes version back, and install the earlier version of iTunes music folder back. Fortunately, as I have just upgraded to a new computer, I had done this to move my music to the new machine. I know it is wise after the event, but they do say make back-ups! Usually, we do not expect Apple to make such a foulup of their software. Version 6 seems about as good as it gets and works perfectly with the Audigy board on my new machine. I hope for everyone sake Apple sort this out quickly!

  • How can I download images from website with Automator?

    Hi!
    I want to ask how can I download images from website with Automator like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQm7Xr9jY0w&t=85m15s (in 1:25:15).
    I want to download these images to my downloads folder. Some things have changed and I can't find exact options as then. When I am trying to make it it shows "The action "Download URLs" was not supplied with the required data."
    I am using 2012 late iMac with Mac OSX 9.2 (Mavericks).

    There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
    One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
    The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
    I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Library can't be read because it was created by a newer version...after upd

    Help please!!! I recently got the usual update available message so I updated the itune version on my computer. SInce then each time I plug my iPod in and try to do anything I get a message that says the file "iTunes Library.it!" can't be read because it was created by a newer version of iTune.... surely if yo update you simply carry over the library???? It seems that I will need to create a library all over again. Has anyone got any ideas. I tried deleting the whole program and reinstalling the original software that came with the iPod. But to no avail. Any help would be great.
    cheers

    i've seen that happen before. (actually, more commonly on itunes 6.0.x versions than 7.0.x versions.)
    it can sometimes happen if the upgrade doesn't go through properly. (you can end up with the later version of the library file, but the earlier version of the program files are still in place.)
    so let's try the itunes 7 update again. download and save a copy of the itunes 7.0.1.8 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than on line. switch off antivirus and antivirus applications prior to the install.

    does your itunes 7.0.x install appear to go through properly? if so, does it launch properly this time?

  • My computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes library can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. What to do? Please Help Me.

    My Computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes libary can not be read because it was created by a newer version.

    If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
    Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.

  • Why am i seeing "i tunes library can't be read because it was created by a newer version

    I have been trying everything to get my itunes to work again. I keep getting the message "itunes library.itl can't be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes.    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I can't get anything to work.

    This would suggest that you have installed an older version of iTunes. Either install the most recent version or restore an older version of your library file from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. Copy the dated file into the main iTunes folder. Rename the current iTunes Library.itl file as iTunes Library (broken).itl, then renamed the restored file as iTunes Library.itl

  • Transferred iTunes library from pc to new mac, iTunes ; however, when opening iTunes on mac it reports the library was created with a newer version of iTunes and won't open.

    Transferred Itunes library from pc to new mac; however, when opening itunes on the new mac it reported that the library was created with a newer version of itunes and could not be opened. It asked if I wanted to download updates and I did. However, the new mac is up to date. Itunes won't open. What to do now? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello, Stephen.
    Thank you for the question.  You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes.  Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process.  Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

    Unless you have attempted to downgrade to an older version of iTunes this is likely to be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • "the photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto"

    Help!
    I think this all started with an onscreen message telling me I had a trojan. I downloaded a free copy of mac scan. This later asked me to subscribe. I could not get rid of the message except by switching off the computer, (I was tired and desperate), so I did.
    I later tried to transfer photos from my camera to the the computer - it would not allow me - said it did not recognise the files.
    Later tried to open iPhoto and it said "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto. Please quit and upgrade this library by opening it in iPhoto 2 or iPhoto 4."
    What have I done? How can I undo/rectify this???
    Jane

    If Larry's fixes don't wortk then 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.

  • "Photo Library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto."

    Here is what happened:
    I had OS 10.3.9 with iLife '04
    Installed iLife '05
    It all worked great for several months.
    Installed Tiger and I get "Photo Library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto." The error also says "Please quit and upgrade this library by opening it in iPhot 2 or iPhoto 4."
    Is this normal? Does anyone have any bright ideas before I rip everything out and reinstall iLife? Thank you for your help!

    Hi issam,
    So far I have not seen any solution for that error message in these discussions. If you have a recent backup of your iPhoto Library folder then take the old library out of the Pictures folder and put your backup library in there (I suggest you backup the backup before you do this) Launch iPhoto and hopefully everything will be back to normal. If you don't have a backup then...
    The only thing I can tell you to do right now is to create a new library and import/add to the library to reimport your images.
    these are the steps:
    Close iPhoto
    Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto
    In the next window that opens choose to create a new library.
    When the new empty library opens go to File/add to library
    In the next window navigate to the library on your desktop and choose it.
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    You will have to redo your albums, keywords, etc.
    Good luck!
