Can't access old version of iPhoto

Hi, someone with a newer version of iPhoto accessed my iphoto library from my external HD and now I cannot open it again on my computer. Not sure what version I have as it won't let me open it.
How can I fix this? If you can tell me step by step that would be wonderful.
Thank you.

Correct - w=if you open an iPhoto library with a newer version of iPhoto you are warned that the library will be converted and can no longer be used by older versions - you can choose to go ahead in which case tha thappens or you can quit and leave the olibrary unconverted
What you have is exactly what you werer told would haoppen
iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  can rebuild the library to a previpous version (without projects and some other items) or you can restore you backup from before this was agreed to

  • Mac OSX, since Firefox upgrade 22 July can only access old version of my virgin email upgraded in May but all ok using Safari. I have reinstalled Firefox from Safari no joy

    On 22 July Firefox was upgraded on my Mac using OSX. This morning 23 July I cannot access my Virgin Cable email properly. Virgin email was upgraded in early 2010 but I can now only access 3 emails dated 19th May 2010 showing the old style email format. Safari is OK and accesses the email correctly. I have reinstalled Firefox this morning using Safari but the problem still occurs.

    Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

    Look in your Home/Library/Library/Quicktime folder to see if you have Flip4Mac and/or Perian installed.  If so move both the the Desktop, reboot and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For  Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

  • Can i download the old version of iPhoto?

    can i download the old version of iPhoto?

    No.  To go back to a previous version, i.e. iPhoto 8 from current iPhoto 9,  you'd have to reinstall iPhoto from your backup or Time Machine or the disks that came with your Mac (unless your Mac is a new one that came with Lion preinstalled).
    What version do you have running now and what version do you want to revert to?  Why?
    If you do revert to an earlier version you'll need to follow these instructions from iPhoto Library Manager website to convert the library back to the new version: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto .  Otherwise the older iPhoto will not open your library

  • I want the old version of iPhoto back

    I have been a MacBook Air user. I use to love this and has purchased another one in 2012 (version 2012) -  OS X 10.9.4 (13E28). Can someone show my how to undo the latest update? Now I can no longer put captions and add frame style on my photos!  IS APPLE GOING BACKWARDS? THEY GIVE YOU ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN THE BEGINNING!!
    Why can't I keep the old version of iPhoto? I am so disappointed with Maverick in view of (iMovie - can't burn) and the iPhoto - it has taken away the fun in producing photos and movies. I AM NOW LOSING MY TRUST AND LOOKING AT MOVING TO SAMSUNG OR OTHER OUT THERE.

    Just wait.  When Yosemite comes out and includes the new Photos application we may get out keywords back.  At least I'm hoping so. 
    In the meantime you'll have to regress back to iPhoto 8.1.2 (09) and Mt. Lion.
    Or with iPhoto 9.5.1 an easy way to see which keywords are assigned to a photo is select that photo's thumbnail and type Command + K to bring up the Keyword pane for iPhoto.  All keywords shown in blue are those assigned to that photo:

    Can I install old version of google maps that was installed with ios5. What's the app called?

    You can't, it was built-in to iOS and is not in the store. Google are supposed to be working on app version of maps, and in the meantime you could try accessing it via Safari : http://maps.google.com

  • Can't access old ver. 9, 11 & 13 clips after Windows upgrade

    In Sept. 2014 I downloaded PE 13 from B&H, worked fine and was able to access old PE9 & PE11 clips.  In Dec. 2014 had problems with Wind. 7 Home Ed. and had to upgrade to 8.1 (decided on Pro).  Installed 8.1 Pro end of Dec. 2014 and bought PE 13 DVD from B&H to reinstall after I backed up my hard drive.  Problem after install of 8/1 Pro and installing PE13 from DVD I can't access and restore old clips from 9, 11 & 13.  Tried everything I can think of....any suggestions PLEASE!

    Very good, I completely understand.  Please understand "I am not a computer geek!"
    With the old computer system, you have Premiere Elements 9, 11, and 13 projects. And, you import media into each and see thumbnails for each of your imports in the project media area of the program (in version 11 and 13, called Project Assets).  CORRECT!  Please as we go forward I have the PE 13 that was downloaded from B&H and worked perfectly with my previous assets in PE 9 & 11.
    When you go to open a project in one of these programs and go to the project media area, do the source media thumbnails still show as before with image in the thumbnail? Or does the thumbnail have a display of circular arrows? If the present as before, can you drag the file from the project media area to the Timeline? If you cannot, it that the problem? NO!  (First info is when I set up my new PE 13 after copying all data to a 1T desk drive and loaded Windows 8.1 Pro to replace my Windows 7 Home Edition, I set up the PE 13 and used 64 bit as suggested.)  NOW...When I locate my previous Project Assets on the 1T drive they show as "red blocks" with a play arrow in them where previously were thumbnails, but I can't retrieve them.  As such there is nothing to add to the timeline.  Last night I added to the NEW PE 13 a 22 min program I'm working on.  I have all those assets, thumbnails and everything is working as wonderfully as it did in 9, 11 and downloaded 13.
    Now in response to a previous question you asked:
    1. When you open Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace, go to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, do you see a list of presets when you explore
    the Presets" field there?  NO.... I can get to /Computer but there is no QuickTime there!  I did download QuickTime yesterday after your suggestion.
    2. You wrote
    Restarted PE13 and received the message "The selected file cannot be played becuse your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser (codec) installed.
    Where are you getting the selected file---- from Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace Project Assets to where it was imported originally from a hard drive save location?
    Or other? What is the specific full name of one of these files that is giving the error message?
    With everything I've been trying, I'll have to recreate this series of events to answer directly.
    When you did the switch from Windows 7 Home to Windows 8.1, did you go 64 bit to 64 bit or 32 bit to 64 bit in operating system?  Help me with a way to determine what the bit was on 9 & 11!
    Were two separate computers involved or did you manage to change the operating all on one computer?  All on one Computer
    The major focus for me right now is to make sure I know what file triggers the ".....not have the required compressoer/decompressor (codec)"? And to know that
    you are in the Premiere Elements 13 Editor and not the Organizer 13 workspace.  Help me understand!!!!  I know the difference between "Add Media", "Project Assets", "Organizer", "Editor" and "Workspace".  But "Project Assets" and "Workspace" are part of "Editor", so I don't understand your question.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks, can't download compatible version of iPhoto

    Yesterday I helped a friend upgrade his iMac to Mavericks (from Mountain Lion), so that he could run the same version of iWork as was on his MacBook.
    The upgrade went fine, except for iPhoto.
    The existing version of iPhoto is too old to run on Mavericks, and the version he can download from the app store is Yosemite only.
    I've had him follow these instructions: Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X
    But the version of iPhoto that he can download through the Mac Store Purchases tab warns him that it will only run on Yosemite.
    My understanding is that old versions of software should always be available to download through the Purchases tab, so I'm assuming that this is a bug with the rollout of Yosemite and will be fixed at some point.
    In the mean time, does anyone know of a way around this?
    As far as I know there's no way to copy iPhoto from my computer to his?   And since everything is through the app store, I can't think of anyway I can download an installer for him.
    Would appreciate any suggestions,
    Adam.
    PS. I am aware I could upgrade him to Yosemite but I'd much prefer to wait for 10.10.2 before doing so.

    What I can suggest, is to update your OS to Yosemite.
    Its supposed Apple is not going to give an older version of iPhoto just to run on Maverics because every Mac running Maverics is available to run Yosemite as well.
    This is why I suppose you can't find a version of iPhoto to use on Maverics anymore.
    This is my suggestion, an let me say Yosemite is an amazing OS, I'm using for months, since the 1st public beta.

Whenever I try it always wants to send things to my email address to confirm.

    Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

  • How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    This is for uninstalling CS2, but you might find it helpful. EDITED: but watch out, since I don't know if trashing any of these will remove currently needed Illustrator files, if you have a later version.
    To uninstall Adobe Creative Suite in Mac OS 1 -- Double-click Activity Monitor.app in Applications/Utilities, select AHCRemind, and click Quit Process.
    2 -- If you intend to install the product on a different computer, transfer the activation. (See “To transfer the product activation” on page 1.)
    3 -- If you want to uninstall Adobe Acrobat, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    4 -- If you want to uninstall Version Cue 2, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe VersionCue CS2, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Note: If the Version Cue uninstaller fails, see the alternative procecure, “To remove Version Cue manually” on page 4.
    5 -- From the Applications folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: Note: After you drag the items to the trash in steps 5-8, you must empty the trash before you can reinstall
    Adobe Creative Suite 2 on the same computer. • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional • Adobe VersionCue CS2 • Adobe Bridge
    • Adobe GoLive CS2 • Adobe Illustrator CS2 • Adobe InDesign CS2 • Adobe Photoshop CS2 • AdobeHelpCenter.app
    6 -- From the Utilities folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Adobe Utilities • Adobe Updater.app
    7 -- From the Library folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Application Support/Adobe/AdobeHelpData • Application Support/Adobe/Assistance • Application Support/Adobe/StartupScripts/Workflow Automation Scripts
    • Preferences/Adobe/Workflow • Preferences/com.adobe.ActivationUtility.plist • Preferences/com.adobe.GoLive.plist • Preferences/Adobe Save For Web GL 8.0 Prefs
    8 -- From the Users/[user name] folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Library/Preferences Panes/Opera Preferences
    • Library/Caches/Opera Cache
    • Documents/AdobeStockPhotos
    To remove Version Cue manually (Mac OS only, not recommended)
    If you’ve accidentally removed parts of the Version Cue installation manually or if the uninstaller fails, you have to remove the remaining installed Version Cue components manually.
    1 -- From the Library/PreferencePanes folder, drag the Version Cue CS2.prefPane folder to the trash. 2 -- From the Library/Preferences folder, drag the com.adobe.versioncueCS2.plist file to the trash. 3 -- From the Library/StartupItems folder, drag the AdobeVersionCueCS2 folder to the trash. 4 -- From the Applications folder, drag the Adobe Version Cue CS2 folder to the trash.
    5 -- From [user home]/Library/Preferences/Adobe, drag the Workflow folder to the trash. 6 -- (Optional) From the [user home]/Documents folder, drag the Version Cue folder to the trash.

  • Is there a way where I can get my old version of a particular app back?

    Alright, so, I own this iTouch and it's the 2nd generation one, I know it's old, but I don't wanna upgrade atm cuz i'm happy with the one I currently have. I plugged in my iTouch last night and my applications started updating itself in iTunes and the Facebook application updated itself to the newer version, but then it won't sync into my iTouch cause it says that it's not compatible with my iPod. So, is there ANY possible way that I can retrieve my old version of Facebook application back?

    Only if have a previous version of the app like part of a computer backup that included youriTunes library. Sorry.
