Can not load external Iphoto library to Iphoto

I was told to update Iphoto this morning I did so, I open Iphoto using the option key to get my external iphoto library but nothing loads, instead I get a screen that looks like I have a new Iphoto with no photos no albums no slideshows etc. I am using yosemite and Iphoto 9.6 I have updated everything.  Although I had problems several months ago when I updated to yosemite Iphoto has been working ok until 2 days ago  Help.  I also tried deleting Iphoto and reloading from purchases with no luck a few minutes ago.

It's not the application that is having problems  but the library on the EHD.  How is the EHD formatted?  It must be OS X Extended (journaled) for iPhoto to work properly.
Assuming the drive is formatted properly do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Can not load my itunes library on my apple tv2, after earliest update

    After a while I have notice that my itunes library can not be load on my home sharing apple tv it says that I have nothing available and I need to purchase content. I even have purchased songs and they does not appear.
    Where is the problem?
    I'm blaming last update I did on my mac, also may be an automated update on my apple tv.
    Hey Apple did you changed something to block our content or this is just an error / bug on your last update?.

    You are not speaking to apple, this is a user forum. My mac and ATV2 are up to date and I have no issues. There has been no automatic update.
    I would try rebooting ATV, toggling of/on Homesharing, checking the network.

  • IOS devices not loading shared media library to the end

    I am having this problem for some time by now - but it did not appear shortly after any iOS update! Now what is the trouble?
    I am using my iPad 3 and my iPhone 5 (newest iOS on both) alongside an Apple TV 3, a Mac mini Server and a MacBook Pro (newest OS X). The Server hosts my media library, private sharing activated by using my Apple ID. Sometimes (not always) I am sharing my library with the same Apple ID on My MacBook Pro to my home network, too. Both Macs can see and use the other Mac's shared library without any troubles - so this works. The Apple TV 3 also can connect to both libraries (though I am using the Server's much more often than the MacBook Pro's).
    Neither on my iPad nor on my iPhone I can get the home shared media library loaded in complete by using the apps
    "Music" and "Video".
    The small loading circle symbol just stops after about 50 % and then nothing happens furthermore no matter how long I am waiting:
    The only thing I can do afterwards is to force quit "Music" and / or "Videos" app, restart those and trying again, still leaving me the already described 50 % and nothing else.
    What is strange about that:
    "Remote" app to Apple TV and my Macs and "AirPlay" to the Apple TV just work fine. "Remote" app connects to my Apple TV and my Macs without any troubles. But "Videos" and "Music" can not load the shared library to complete. It does not matter to which Mac I am connecting (to be more exact: to which shared library). All iOS devices "see" the shared libraries, seem to connect to them at the beginning but just to refuse to load more than 50 % - and doing anything else afterwards. To make it even more strange both iOS devices were able to load everything to the end some time ago. I am not sure if there was an iOS update available in between anymore, but there definetly was an iTunes update in between!
    So what I already tried (not in that order described here):
    Stopping and restarting home sharing on my Macs using the initial Apple ID account.
    Stopping and restarting home sharing on both Macs using another Apple ID account (and adapting the iOS devices info accordingly).
    Using different Apple ID accounts on both Macs at the same time for home sharing.
    Logged off and re-logged back into iTunes Store Account on my Macs and iOS devices.
    Re-configured my sharing on my iOS devices using those two already mentioned accounts.
    Re-initialization of the complete iTunes libray on my Mac mini Server (moving the .xml to the desktop, deleting the .itl from the iTunes folder, re-importing the .xml).
    I think I have done some other steps in between, too but none of them fixes that problem. Please note: I am not using an Apple AirPort Extreme but my service provider's Modem / Router combination. I do not think the problem is located in that Modem / Router / Network connection as it once worked without any troubles. Maybe I will try to connect my AirPort Extreme to that Modem somewhat later to see if this fixes the problem.
    Any help is highly appreciated!

    Looks like I found a solution on my own...
    After renaming my iTunes Mediatheque in the iTunes preferences window on my iTunes server hosted by a Mac mini all mi iOS devices were able to load my mediatheque in complete again. It took some time to get all the covers but no title is left over.
    I found this solution by "accident" when I noticed too many devices used more or less the same name on my network.
    Strange.

  • Itunes library not loading in iphoto

    the library shows, but will not load in iphoto. i've tried deleting the xml file to create a new one, but that didn't work.
    i have recently moved my library to an external hard drive. i had no issues before.
    any suggestions?

    i have been running out of space on my hard drive because of my itunes library. i purchased an external and found a site outlining how to move it and did so. it calls for moving the main folder but not the album artwork or the xml file.
    i open iphoto, create a photo slideshow and when i go to choose a song, it shows me the list but gives an error when i choose it. i had no problems previously, so i assume it's because the program cannot find the songs because the files are now on the external drive. i research and several sites say to delete the xml file and create a new playlist in itunes to redirect the files. this did not work and now i'm not sure what to do besides just moving it back to my hard drive and dealing with the space issues some other way.

  • Just upgrade to Os Maverick, IPhoto app is no longer available, now I can not open my iPhoto Library. Any solutions suggestions?

    Just up graded my iMac to OS X Maverick after saving all file on external drive.
    HELP: Can not open my iPHOTO Library file because previous iPhoto application
                 is no longer available.
                What to do? If I need new application, which is the best ?

    Have you upgraded iPhoto to the current version (9.5.1)?
    Have you failed to allow your previous iPhoto library to be upgraded?
    Have you tried holding the "option" key while opening iPhoto to point to your iPhoto library?

  • IPhoto will not load the iPhoto library.  When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it.  I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

    I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
    recreate the library I believe.  It's been a while so I cant remember
    exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
    have had no problems with it.

  • I updated iPhoto 9.1.3, and I can not 'to open iPhoto

    I updated iPhoto 9.1.3, and I can not 'to open iPhoto (I said that I need to update the library) ... ... hours ... minutes pass and nothing happens.
    Given that I'll '20gb photo and a short video, so I do not have a big library..., remained all night to update the database, but still nothing ... someone I can' help ..?

    Well that's an easy fix:
    Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
    If that fails:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?

  • I can not open my iPhoto it says it is either used by another applcation or has become unread be

    I can not open my Iphoto library it says it is either used by another application or has become unreadabe. I shut down and restart an then open Iphoto again but nothing is their.

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library.
    3. Scavenge the library with iPhoto Library Manager independently of iPhoto (Library ▹ Rebuild). Books, calendars, and slideshows won't be preserved.

  • I downloaded yosemite and the new version of photos and now i can not find my iPhotos

    I downloaded yosemite and the new photos.  now i can not find my iPhotos.  It won't let me open the old app and it says that its not compatible with yosemite.  HELP!  how do I retrieve my old photos??

    iPhotos has been replaced with a new app called Photos. If it completed migrating your iPhoto Library, all your images are now also in Photos Library(Events are now Albums in a folder named iPhoto Events.
    iPhoto and iPhoto Library remain on your drive and work as before.

  • Since loading the latest version of firefox i can no longer print. instead a message comes up "can not load library 'DLBAPRP.DLL' using defaults, error 126. what happened?

    error 126 can not load library "DLBAPRP.DLL" using defaults. this message appears when we try to print from our web bookmarks or any acrobat or pdf files

    That error seems to be new with Firefox 4 - never heard of it with earlier versions of Firefox, but it goes back many years in various Windows programs.

  • My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into Iphoto.

    My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into IPhoto.  The computer will recognize the files once the download is complete, but fails to finalize.  My version of IPhoto is 7.1.5 and my computer is a Mid 2007 Mac Mini Model.  I have Light Room 5, but my wife and I are prefer IPhoto for basic download and sharing.  Is there a possibility  of getting the RAW files to download ?

    what version of the OS?
    You need Mt Lion and iPhoto '09 for your camera RAW support - OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats -
    If your computer will support tMavericks do the free upgrade to it and purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the App store
