Can no longer open iPhoto
G'morning, all,
I've just installed iLife and updated all related applications. While I can access iPhoto via the media tool on iWeb, I can no longer open iPhoto by itself. I get a message that I should upgrade iPhoto (despite the fact that I have the most recent version) and that I should go to the iPhoto file menu >Library, and then ensure that I have read and write permissions. I have done all those things and I still can't access iPhoto.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks,
R

This sounds like a permissions issue. Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder (at Home/Pictures) using the settings found here:

I can no longer open iphoto. It says it is damaged. How do I reinstall iphoto?
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
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
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 or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List. -

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -
I cannot open iphoto, the icon on my desktop has changed to a grey file folder, and when i click it, it shows more folders.. please help
What happens when you double click on iPhoto in the applications folder
LN -
I am no longer able to access iphoto. When I click on the icon. The screen opens but remains dark with the spinning icon continuing indefinately. In the light panel on the left hand side there is no list of albums or the library.
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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

I have a mac pro which I recently made to share with my mac desktop. iphoto was updated on the mac pro from 8.2.1 and I can no longer open iphoto. I get an error message You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. The only option is for me to quit. I have tried to restore with no luck. I tried reinstalling using my Application CD. Help?????
when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

Help, I can no longer open my I Photo's. I get a message that says the library needs to be updated to work with this version of IPhoto. What have I done and what can I do to view them again.
You're welcome
It should have showed you a progress bar, and hopefully it was moving steadily -

Have you tried removing the app, tehn adding it back? -
I can no longer open MS Word. How to restore?
Hi,
A while ago, maybe a year, I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac. I got Word, Excel and a few other things. I used Word fairly frequently to read .docs. I noticed a couple of months ago I can no longer open Word. I always get an error box 'Microsoft Word cannot be opened because of a problem.' Doesn't say what problem is. My guess is I accidentally deleted something critical to opening and using Word.
I would like to re-install the software. The problem is I can't find the MS Office discs. I do not know if I purchased discs or a download. I know that I purchased it but can't remember how and don't seem to have any evidence.
Excel opens and works fine. And I see the Word icon in my 'Applications'. But won't open.
Is there some way I can find out how I purchased this thru Apple and get a back-up download or something? Is there some registration number or proof of purchase attached to a file on my computer I can use to get a replacement download?
Would/Could I have purchased this as part of a larger purchase -- it's not part of the Snow Leopard Box Set is it? Does not seem to be.

Check your credit card(s) invoices. You need to keep them for more than 1 year anyway, for tax purposes. You probably can access them on-line.

You're begging the question -- did you purchase it from Apple? Not particularly likely. -
Can no longer open NY Times puzzles: "puz could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.?
Since updating Firefox, I can no longer open the NY Times daily/Sunday puzzle in the program used for crossword puzzles. Older puzzles sall open.
If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

In earlier version of Firefox I could open a PDF file from my Insurance provider with some of the fields automatically populated. Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I can no longer open PDF file from this site.
I have upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X and also Adobe Reader X in an effort to resolve this issue with no luck.
I have changed the settings under tools/options to use Adobe in Firefox as well as use Adobe as default with no difference.
I seem to recall a note of some sort when upgrading Firefox to 4.0 about compatibility with Adobe but cannot recall the details.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
I use Windows 7 64 bit operating system.The URL below is to Adobe's Acrobat update page.
There you'll find each of the incremental updates to Acrobat 10.
They must be installed one at a time in sequence.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
Now, if after attempted updates fail then you'll need to speak with your IT Department.
You need your install of Acrobat 10 updated to dot version 10.1.7.
Be well...

I recently accepted an automatic update(January, 2014) for Pages on my MacBook Pro. I can no longer open Pages or documents created with the prior version. Any suggestions as to how to correct this problem?
Open Activity Monitor. Select All Processes instead of My Processes at the top and then reorder everything by highest CPU usage. Take a screenshot and post the image here.

All of a sudden I can no longer open tabs by clicking "+" or right clicking on the tool bar. To open a new page, I have to open a whole new Firefox window. How can I fix this?
Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help. -

After my OS update I can no longer open email attachments. What could be the issue??
After my latest OS update I can no longer open email attachments. What might be in the issue??
Quit Mail and restart.
Select each of your mailboxes and select Rebuild under the Mailboxes menu.
If those don't help, then reinstall Yosemite:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
