Can't open imovie, iphoto or idvd 08
so yes threads are being deleted, even the ones that are trying to get to the bottom of the fact that i can't even get my software to work. it crashes when i open it almost immediately, and i'm wondering if i can get a refund on my software that doesn't work or perhaps if apple would care to offer a solution to the fact that i just bought a dvd with a bunch of worthless software on it?
does anybody know of any phone support for software so i could call someone and get some kind of an answer? since i'm not the only person with this problem you'd at least assume there would be something in the troubleshooting section regarding this problem...
thanks for any help anyone can offer,
josh
Anyone?

Have iphoto 9.0 working on a mac osx 10.7.4 yesterday ilife with idvd was downloaded into my mac,i can't open my iPhoto now its telling me to update app, but when i do it says no new updates are available at this time,and iPhoto update mesg pops up again.
Hi,
I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
Exit Code 15
OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
I tried the adobe removal tool
removing all copies of adobe software manually
installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
/Library/Application Supports/Adobe
They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
Cheers,

I've created an imovie file that I put into idvd. Right now I can't open imovie or idvd. I can't even back up these files on a dvd.
When I try to open imovie, I get:
Projet couldn't be opened because disk is full, folder is locked or the folder permission are incorrect. If project is on CD-ROM, net server, or locked disk, copy to hard drive before opening.
If project is on hard drive, then the disk may be completely full or you may have to modify that folder. Correct problem and try again.
My work is saved on an external hard drive (le cie). I can't open the files on it. I get the same message. There is plenty of space on this external hard drive left.
What can I do? I can't even back up my work on a dvd. How do I fix this problem. Please help.
Thank you.My guess is that you didn't "format" the new external drive before you moved your iMovie Projects onto it.
Most drives come pre-formatted for Windows OS's and you failed to format it to work with your Mac.
Disk Utility app can do the formatting but it will erase the contents currently found on the drive. -
I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says it is damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures? I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!
I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated. Software update usually takes care of it. It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version. I've not tried that.
You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto. Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store. That is the version you need. You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
good luck.
PS. your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder. don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder. -
Lost iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD when hard drive crashed.
I owned my iMac since 2007 and my first OS was 10.4. As far back then, my iMac came with iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD already installed. Since 2011, I had OS 10.6 on my iMac. Two weekends ago, my hard drive crashed and lost many applications, including iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD. I still had a copy of 10.6 on a disc and reinstalled it and even updated it to the version I had before my HD crashed. I notice that iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD are not in my computer anymore.
I visited the download section on the Apple website and have found versions of iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD that would be compatable with OS 10.6.8, but for some reason I can't install them. I was able to install iPhoto, but can't open it. I can't even install iDVD. I haven't tried to install iMovie.
Is there any way I can install these applications I lost? I realize purchasing a new copy of iLife is one option, but the version that is out now is not compatable with OS 10.6.8.I visited the download section on the Apple website and have found versions of iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD that would be compatable with OS 10.6.8, but for some reason I can't install them.
These are not applications. They are updaters for the applications.
You will have got a disk with your Mac that had the applications on it. You can reinstall from that. -
I can't open my iPhoto - tells me to use the new version
i can't open my iPhoto!
this the message that i get
"You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
I have iPhoto 4 on my G4 at home. I tried transferring some burned photos from my G4 labtop (running on iPhoto 5) and this was the message i got. I tried everything from the update downloads to deleting the pics from iPhoto 5. I still can't open my iPhoto.
Just had a baby girl and it's driving me nuts because I can't access my photo library.
Please Help ... desperate new dad!Hi, Gary. If the CD you burned in iPhoto 5 is still in your computer, eject it and see whether that makes any difference.
If you copied the contents of that CD to your hard drive in such a way that there is now an iPhoto Library folder anywhere on your hard drive which was created by iPhoto 5 rather than iPhoto 4, trash that folder and empty the trash. Then try opening iPhoto 4 again.
When you burn a CD from within iPhoto, it creates an iPhoto Library folder on the CD. That library folder is specific to the version of iPhoto that created it. If an older version of iPhoto finds such a folder anywhere within its reach, it tries — and fails — to open that folder instead of its own library folder, and then puts up the error message you've seen.
In the future, if you transfer photos from a computer that contains a newer version of iPhoto than your own, it will be safer to export the photos from the newer version of iPhoto to a folder on that other computer's hard drive, then burn a cd containing the photos from the Finder, rather than from within iPhoto. That way the disc won't contain anything your own version of iPhoto can mistake for its iPhoto Library. -
I got this message saying: "You made changes to your Photo Library using a newer version of iPhoto. Quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
How do I do that? Right now when I click open iPhoto, there is a message telling me to upgrade and when I click on "upgrade", the above message shows up.sarahleigh822 wrote:
Thank you, Andrew, for trying to help me. I just ran the software update and still, I can't open my iPhoto without seeing those two messages.
Thats odd. If you ran software update there is no way you should be on OS 10.5.6. If you have run all your updates you should be at version 10.5.8. I suggest you check again. If nothing is appearing, download the combo updater and run that. Then when it reboots repair prvilages with Disk Utility and check Software Update again. -

I have an iMac 10.8.2. When trying to download a photo attachment from an email I received the following : "You can't open application IPhoto because the classic environment is no longer supported."

How can I resolve this so I can access my photos?

All of a sudden I can't open my iPhoto library. I get a message that says "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. It takes me to this page. Bought MacBook Pro 11/2012. Don't have a clue as to version of IPhoto
Is this library one that you've been using since you bought the MBP? If so and you're running iPhoto 9 then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT202358 can't open my iPhoto it says i need the upgrader did that and it still won't open.
can't open my iPhoto it says i need the upgrader did that and it still won't open.
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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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 can't open iMovie because I get this message:
iMovie requires a graphic card that is compatible with
Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards
does not support Quartz Extreme.
I only have one card (the original) and it was able to open iMovie before (iMovie 08 or HD)
and then one day this happen. What's going on?
Thank you for your help in advance.Update Tiger to 10.4.11 and try trashing the preference files :
*Quit iMovie.*
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. _Empty the trash and run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder._
The files are located here:
Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist
