Can't open iPhoto after Yosemite upgrade MacBook Pro

THe wheel just spins and eventually I have to force quit. I tried resetting the Pram. It's a 2011 15". Need to get into my photos!  I know I can access them in Pictures but I'd like to use iPhoto.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Are you able to create a new library or still get the SWOD (spinning wheel of death)?  If you still get the SWOD try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

    There is a framework missing in your System library. You need to reinstall MacOS X to restore the dynamic library:

  • I can't open iPhoto after yosemite upgrade - tried to reinstall, not working! Help!

    Hi
    Im new here so please bare with me if I've not included everything needed but I'm really struggling an after trying everything else on every other link I've found Im stuck!
    I installed Yosemite a few weeks back. I have tried everything I have read on forums etc... to try to get iPhoto to work but nothing is helping. What am I missing out?
    I upgraded iphoto in the ap store. I have tried uninstalling iPhoto as per advice from a other thread and when I re download it it still just has a grey screen with the circle going round an doesn't do anything. All I can do is force quit it.
    I have my photos backed up. Im not concerned about getting them or them being wiped from my machine. My theory was to uninstall it and reinstall it fresh as new and just start again. My photo library was huge (talking well over 100,000 photos) so thought it might take a while but left it overnight an still nothing. iMovie and other programs working fine after the update. I just now have nowhere to do quick edits and view my pictures.
    iMac (27-inch, Late 2009),2.66 GHz Intel Core i5,4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    How can I just start again an have a nice fresh iPhoto for me to upload my photos from my backup drive?

    Hi, Léonie,
    My iphoto is having the almost the same problem except that these are old iphoto files from 2010-2013... And I backed them up in external drive.
    So, after upgrading and letting it repairing, iphoto asked me to quit the application. I'm sure it could be open with older version of iphoto...
    Below is what I see step by step.  Please help, I've got quite a few years memories there... 
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

  • Can't open iPhoto after an upgrade

    Hi,
    I did the iPhoto update yesterday and realized today that I am unable to open iPhoto now.
    An iPhoto window appears and says "What photo library do you want to use?" as shown on the picture. But there are no option...
    What do I have to do? Have I lost all my pictures saved on iPhoto?
    I would like it to be like before, meaning that when I open iPhoto, the application opens automatically with my albums and all.
    Thanks for everyone's help!

    This will not help, but I don't think I did a back up. It does not automatically do it?
    If it can help we have a Time Machine. Are my files stored there automatically? Can I find my iPhoto from there?
    What can I do to recover iPhoto with my pictures? Why did this happen after doing the Update?
    Thanks for your kind help Terence!

  • I can't open iPhoto library on my Macbook Pro. It says to upgrade and I have upgraded and updated it. Any suggestions?

    I cant open iPhoto library since I upgraded it. I says to upgrade to latest version. I have the latest version and have done an update. Any suggestions?

    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. (You'd be surprised what some folks call the "latest version")
    - 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.

  • Can't open Iphoto on my new macbook pro

    It asks me to upgrade. thought it came with the softwar...  what is up? 

    have you accepted the upgrade (or update)?
    You may have an issue since the software is licensed by the seller's Apple ID
    And BTW it helps people answer your questions if you provide information like iPhoto version you have, OS version you have, what happens when you try to do something and exact error messages
    So it is not really a new system but a used one that has been erased - that is critical information
    and since no one here can read minds answers to the oter question about your system, versions, etc would imporve chances o getting a valid answer

  • After Yosemite upgrade, macbook pro crashed twice

    My macbook crashed twice, once while i was using os and once in window 7. And i can't seem to find any problems. Please find a solution for this ASAP.

    It is your Mac so you are going to have to find the solution for it or take it to the Apple Store and ask them to fix your Mac for you.
    Besides with it crashing under both OS X  and Windows, the problem is most likely hardware. Tell that to them at the Apple Store when you take it in.

  • Can't open iphoto after complete reboot.

    Hi!
    My computer stoped working a while back and I had the harddrive replaced, now I can't open iphoto after importing it from time mashine. I still have the same OS X (10.6.8) on a Mac Book pro from 2009. I can't buy the new one, or update it, because my OS X is too old and after seeing all the problems with the new system I don't really want to install it. How do I make iphoto work again? When I try to open it, it just says it can't open because of a problem (no, really?).

    Is there a crash report?  Have you tried reinstalling it?
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    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 or later 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.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Can't open iPhoto due to upgrade to yosemite

    recently upgraded to yosemite and now i can't open iPhoto, it will not let me update or purchase new it simply gives me a message that reads:
                        Update Unavailable with This Apple ID
                        This update is not available for this Apple ID either
                        because it was purchased by a different user or the item
                        was refunded or cancelled.
    my main concern is my pictures having the app would be great but losing all those pictures would be devastating            

    Your photos and the application are totally separate - the iPhoto application is in the Applications folder and contains no photos - your iPhoto library is by default in your pictures folder and by default contains all of your photos - and of course you have  backup of your system since witout one you are 100% guaenteed to lose everything including you photos sooner or later - things fial
    Be sure you are logged in under the Apple ID that was used to purchase iPhoto or to set up the computer - if it still dos not work drag the iPhoto application to the trash (do not empty it yet) and then go to the App store and install iPhoto 9.6 - depending on what version you have it may be free or a purchase)

  • Can't open iPhoto after fresh OSX install

    I recently re-installed my operating system (on the advice of a Guru) and now I cannot open iPhoto. I moved all my documents, applications, photos (EVERYTHING) to an external hard drive and then re-installed.
    Once installed I tried to open iPhoto and received this message:
    "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    So I then proceeded to download updates. I am running version 4.0.3. When I tried the version 5 upgrade it said there were no valid versions of iPhoto in my applications folder. Version 6 upgrade says the same.
    Any ideas on what I can do. I can't even load new photos (photos not changed in a newer version of iPhoto). I'm at my whits end.
    Anybody PLEASE help!!!!
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi, Matthew. The error message you're seeing appears whenever iPhoto 4.x detects an iPhoto Library folder anywhere within its reach that was created by iPhoto 5.x or 6.x. Is it possible that the hard drive on which you backed up all your stuff also contained a library folder created by iP 5 or 6, and you copied that folder to your main drive along with the data that had been on it previously?
    Alternatively, is it possible that someone has given you a picture CD burned with iP 5 or 6, and that that CD is in your optical drive now, or that you copied it to your main hard drive before backing up, but never tried to open iPhoto after doing so? iP (any version) creates an iP Library folder when you burn a CD, and the mere availability of such a folder to an older version of iP will trigger the error message, even if an appropriate Library folder is also available.
    Or might you have backed up your data, including your original iP Library folder, to a drive that contained a newer version of iPhoto, and opened the library in that version while it was backed up on that drive? That would have caused the library to be updated, which would make it (and any copy of it) unreadable by iP 4.x.
    Search your hard drive (the one with the newly-installed OS on it) for folders named "iPhoto Library". If you find any besides your main library, and you're confident that your main library couldn't have been updated by a newer iP version, you'll need to remove any newer-version libraries from the hard drive or disconnect (or eject) any storage medium that contains them, so iP 4 won't detect them and put up the error message.
