Can't get iPhoto '09 to work since reverting from iPhoto '11

Ok, I have read and re-read what seem like hundreds of posts (mostly from late 2010) but cannot find an answer to this.
I had iPhoto '09 on my computer when I bought it in October, and the "free upgrade disc" for '11 was given to me, but I had never got around to swapping them out. (lucky me) Recently, I decided to do the upgrade because I heard that iMovie had better audio balancing capabilities. I had not heard anything about the iPhoto issues, I was 100% happy with iPhoto '09 but did not see a way to only install the iMovie so I put everything in. As with other people, I had problems, and decided to revert to iPhoto '09, thinking this would be best & easiest step, (and since I had ordered the original install disc for '09, it should have been easy.)
First of all, I made a grave error on my TM back up prior to the install. (this may be moot, but I will mention it so you don't simply tell me to use TM back up) I was doing a back up but had to leave so I figured I'd make room on my disc by deleting a couple of the "in the middle" back ups that were just the hourly or daily ones from some point. I dragged them into the trash not knowing (and getting no warning) that this was a huge mistake. (This is my first mac since the 80's.)
So now I can't "enter TM" although I can look on the drive and see that the files are there. I was able to empty the trash easily enough, but so far as I can tell TM as a restorative option is a bust.
I installed iLife 11 suite BEFORE I realized this, unfortunately. Once I realized that I wanted to go back to iPhoto 09, I got "AppZapper" and used that to delete just the iPhoto App & related components thereby keeping the rest of the iLife 11 on my computer. I had already (luckily) copied the old iPhoto library (prior to the upgrade) to a separate external HD for other reasons, so I do have the "untainted, unchanged" version of my photos, plus the same version that would be available via my TM back up if I could get to it.
I "re-installed" iPhoto -09, but when I clicked on the icon, it gives me the following message: You can't open your current photo library with this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your iPhoto library using a newer version of iPhoto, please reinstall, etc.
So I created a new iPhoto folder and am about to transfer photos in manually. My question is: if the computer thought my old iPhoto library was adjusted, is there some way that iLife11 could have changed those photos? OR if I have to check to make sure I am pulling the right photos back into '09, how can I do that and what do I look for? When I was deleting the "new" old library (iLife 11 version) I thought I had better save a copy of it just in case, so I copied it to the same external disc as my original iPhoto 09 backup & renamed it. However when I returned to get the old (iLife 09 version) library, the v.11 one (under my rename) was not there, and there were other odd files like Library6.iphoto and Library.iphoto ??
Finally, if you have any ideas on how I can get time machine back, that would be much appreciated. I tried the repair back ups sequence and got no results, maybe this has to do with permissions. I have more to research before attempting to fix that.

To update the info I wrote, apparently I DID save the "iLife 11" photos to a separate disc, so the untainted album "iPhoto.old" from my other back up drive is supposed to be those iLife 09 photos (pre upgrade)
However, when I open iPhoto 09 (newly reloaded) I cannot figure out how to get those photos into my app. When I try to launch the library, it says it has to re-launch the application, and in doing so, gives me the error message about using a newer version of iPhoto, etc.
Here are the contents of the old iPhoto library (that should be untainted)

I am afraid if you can't print with any applications in Mac OS this is not a problem specific to Firefox and we can't be of much help.

Can't get Multicam sequence to work since update

I have the latest updates for Premiere Pro. Last mo nth I started a project with three different angles and was able to create and successfully edit the project with no problem. Shot different project, same three cameras, same files, and I can NOT get the multicam sequence to sync anything. I've tried all three view, all combinations of the three, exporting to different type of files, nothing works.
What gives?
Any help would be appreciated. As with anyone else, I'm sure, I have a deadline for this project.
Thanks

I guess I'm not going as crazy as I thought!!! Seems I created the problem on my own. One of the sequences had two tracks, one I couldn't see in the view, and it wasn't sync'd up with the other. Once I deleted it and did the multicam, went straight away and am half way through editing a wedding ceremony!!!

Can't get the proxy authentication work over SSL from weblogic 8.1

I'm trying to make a HTTPS connection through proxy server, and I get a 407 proxy authentication exception. I can succesfully connect from a stand-alone program, but I can't do it from a web application deployed on weblogic 8.1.
I implemented weblogic.common.ProxyAuthenticator, and here's my implementation methods-
public void init(String host, int port, String auth,
String loginPrompt) {
public String[] getLoginAndPassword() {
String[] login = new String[2];
login[0] = "test";
login[1] = "test123";
return login;
And, in my code where I make the connection, I'm setting the following-
System.setProperty(
"weblogic.net.proxyAuthenticatorClassName",
"test.client.MyProxyAuthenticator");
Can anyone help, what the problem could be? I provided dummy implementation for init() method and I'm not sure what to provide there.
Thanks in advance<pre></pre>

I moved the system property setting into startWeblogic.sh (using -D...) and it works.

Can't get motion Tween to work - just upgraded from a previous version to CS4

I am attempting to create a motion tween between two keyframes. The image is the same...the first keyframe has the image set to an alpha of 0 and the second keyframe some 20 frames down the timeline is set to an alpha of 100%. The keyframes are on the same layer. The image has been transformed to a symbol. Yet when I double click between the two keyframes and create the motion tween so the image will fade from 0 to full view at 100% nothing happens. I don't see the familiar arrow that normally indicates a motion tween between the two keyframes. I've created this transformation a thousand times before but don't understand what is different in CS4 that isn't creating the tween. When I double click on a frame in between the two keyframes it indicates I can remove motion tween so, it makes me believe the motion tweening has been set but, it isn't.
I am quite frustrated and don't understand if I haven't set something in the preferences so the tweening will work or just what is going on.
Help!

And here's the article that was written specifically to update your skills with all the changes between the earlier tweening and new tweens in CS4:

Can't get iphoto to work after tampering with library in Finder

I think I made a big mistake when I tampered with the iphoto library in Pictures in Finder.
Now I can't get iphoto to work. All the pictures are gone in iphoto, the spaces are there but they are blank.
When I open iphoto it goes into the mode (little spinning wheel appears) where I have to "force quit".
Any supggestions on what I can do? Thanks.

The list that shows is just data files and such.
You can burn the entire iPhoto Library folder.
You can burn each Year folder or any other variation.
This is my workflow. The reason I do it the way I describe is because I want a backup of just the photos and video clips I take so I can copy them to a partition of my external drive and burn them to disc. On the other partition I backup my entire users folder
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
Here is info on backing up your photos:
Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
You can also check out applications for disc spanning:
Disc-spanning software
DropDMG
Toast
Dragon Burn 4
BackityMac
Retrospect Express-comes with some external drives
Retrospect for Macintosh Desktop Edition
2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
1.. If you backed up the entire iPhoto Library by burning within iPhoto or burning the folder in the Finder, make sure the burned copy is a good working copy before you delete the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. You delete the iPhoto Library in the finder by dragging it to the trash when iPhoto is closed. When you next launch iPhoto it will create a new empty library for you to start anew.
2. If you burned just the images, be aware that that is all you are archiving. No metadata will travel with the images such as comments, keywords, etc.
You can then delete those images within iPhoto by highlighting them and hitting the delete key, then empty iPhoto's trash. Do this often and in groups so iPhoto will not choke on too many images.

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.

How can i get iphoto 9?

I am running OSX 10.5.8 and I have iphoto 7.1.5 I just spent many hours creating a calendar. When I went to purchase it, I got an error message stating that apple doesn't support calendar purchases in iphoto 7 any longer, and I need to upgrade to iphoto 9 at the mac app store. Since I am not running mavericks or yosemite I don't have the mac app store, so how can I get iphoto 9, and will it even work with 10.5.8?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can't get Home Sharing to work with ATV, v7.0.3 and iTunes 12.1.0.50

I can't get Home Sharing to work. I'm looking at my MacBook screen and iTunes says Home Sharing is On. On Apple TV, it says Turn On Home Sharing in iTunes. Both are using the same Apple ID and password (signed out and signed back in manually on both). I have tried the following: Signing out of and into Home Sharing on Apple TV and iTunes, closing iTunes and restarting the MacBook, restarting and restoring Apple TV to factory settings, restarting my router, all possible iterations of the aforementioned. Nothing seems to work. Also tried renaming my computer in preferences/sharing.
Any new ideas?
Using ATV3 software v7.0.3
iTunes software v12.1.0.50
MacBook software OS X Yosemite v10.10.2

Only have one network; wireless. On it's own, the MacBook can use wifi to surf the net and Apple TV can watch movie previews from Apple via wifi.
It did work about two months ago. I haven't used it since then for home sharing but have used the Apple TV on its own.
I read the Troubleshooting page on Apple Support. It involves turning various things on and off, which I did

How can I get iPhoto on my Mac to recognize my new iPhone 6? (iTunes does recognize it!)

I got one of the new iPhone 6s (the smaller version) and it's been working great. I was able to restore an old backup from my 4S and transferred everything over. iTunes recognizes the new phone and I've had no problems bringing files within apps on the phone to the computer like before. HOWEVER, iPhoto doesn't even recognize the phone so I can't import new photos off the phone. How can I get iPhoto to recognize it? I tried searching for the phone as a drive via iPhoto and that didn't work either.

So says my computer. Honestly, I'm not tech-wavy in the least so I just take its word for things.
