Can't reopen iPhoto after installing update on MacBook Pro.

I installed an update for iPhoto yesterday and now find I cannot reopen it. When trying to install, it gets to 50% of step 2 and then quits. Is there any way I can save my photographs, which aren't backed up anywhere other than iPhoto?

The iPhoto application and iPhoto Library are separate items.
All your photos are inside the iPhoto Library package, and that is what you should backup asap!
Your iPhoto Library is by default in your Pictures folder and called iPhoto Library.photolibrary.
Drag this package to an external drive to make a backup copy.
Do you have any Fire wall enabled or Anti Virus software running? If yes, turn it off, while you are running the installer.
If that does not help, boot into SafeMode, while installing, see: Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Or, if this still does not help, sign into a different administrator account and run the installer from there. You are not by any chance running out of disk space?
See How to Access Files in iPhoto
to get access to your photos without iPhoto.

After installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro and my MacMini can't shut down, only a grey screen and finish. Must be killed by the power button. Why?

After installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro and my MacMini can't shut down, only a grey screen and finish. Must be killed by the power button. Why?
Nach der Installation von Mavericks kann ich weder das MacBook Pro (2 x 2.4 GHz) noch den MacMini (2 x 2.66 GHz) herunterfahren. Es bleibt ein dauerhafter grauer Bildschirm. Nach 20 min habe ich einen erzwungenen Neustart durchgeführt.
Ausserdem startet die Macs wesentlich langsamer als mit OS X 10.6.8.

same here... sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't!!

2 finger scroll doesnt work in Finder after Mavericks update. Macbook pro seems slow and less responsive after the update.

HT203216 I can not reopen my microsoft outlook in my MacBook Pro?

I need help, I can not reopen my microsoft outlook in my MacBook Pro?

This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum and not the best place for you to get help with this issue since this doesn't seem to be an issue with an iPad. Being a question about using a Microsoft product, you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in Microsoft's own forums.
Regards.

How can I migrate iPhoto library from an old MacBook Pro to a new one?

When the hard drive on my MacBook Pro 13 needed to be wiped clean, I restored all my files from Time Machine except for my iPhoto files. Not sure why my iPhoto library wasn't restored, but it wasn't, and I can't find it on my Time Capsule. I want to move my partial iPhoto library from my old MacBook Pro to my new one. I understand this is possible by linking them in some way. What is that way?

There are three ways; using File Sharing over a network, transferring them via an external drive, or using FireWire Target Disk mode. If you use file sharing, use the AFP protocol. If you use an external drive, it or a partition or disk image on it needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.

Installed Lion. Now can't get latest update to iPhoto to install.

When all else fails... RESTART and try again.
Luckily, there is always more than one way to download/install software...

Can't use iPhoto after newest update on brand new computer!?

I just bought my macbook white yesterday. Installed all of the newest updates (14) and everything works except iPhoto. The first time I clicked on iPhoto, this is what I saw:
_1st error_:
*The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.*
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library.
+However, _nothing happens_ when I click on upgrade! It pops to this:+
_2nd error_:
*The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly.*
Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.
Click Relaunch to launch the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.
Please help!

Hi TD -
Thanks for the pointers. I'm totally new to macs, so still learning!
I did 1 & 2, and then created a new account. iPhoto works in the new account, so I guess it is a problem in the main account...but I don't know what to do from here.
Any more help would be greatly appreciated to try to solve this issue. Thanks!
edit: *actually, I think I just solved it.*
Based on this disscussion:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2029584&tstart=0
Steps taken:
1. hold down the ALT (option) key
2. click icon to open iPhoto
3. choose the default library (note: it was the only library listed, and I didn't have anything in my library b/c I'd never launched iPhoto before). +*Didn't have to rebuild anything.*+
Result? It immediately loaded and seems to work fine now!
Thanks!

Performance reduced under Bootcamp after EFI update on Macbook Pro Retina

after i upgraded EFI on my retina macbook pro the proformence reduced to unusable. under heavy load under bootcamp windows7. the cpu clock drops and as well as cpu clock. this is the screen shot of gpu clock monitoring from windows u can see the gpu clock is running at 270Mhz at most of the time and trying to be back to 725Mhz(yea, not 900Mhz!) when im running a graphic benchmark at same time cpu will run about 1.1Ghz as well. i noticed that it will run 10-20sec normally then CPU and GPU clock will start dropping. It's almost like speedstep is programmed backwards. My CPU is constantly running at 3.1-3.2GHz, and then as soon as a game loads, it drops to 1.2GHz. I've lost track of how many times I reset the SMC reseting SMC PRAM, reinstalling windows using Bootcamp or even erease the entire drive and start over from network recovery MacOS did not solve this problem. so all the recent games like COD MW3, Starcraft II, BF3,or D3 will only run about about 10 fps as i was playing them with no ploblem before the EFI update.
this is killing me! please help.
im in NY, in this season i dont think is the overheating problem. when i check the temperature, it stays about 80C (fans will run about 4k rpm). but some time heavy loaded Mac OS cpu is about 90 degree but only with 3k rpm fan kicked in.
i did search online, seems that some other people have the same problem with rMBP or MBA 2012.
anyone knows if i take my macbook pro to the store, will those people work at genuines bar help me with this "windows" problem?
thanks!

Hey Shadowyani, please take a time and fill a bug report at http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/ . The machine is useless for me as it is now because I develop and use very GPU/CPU demanding scientific applications, after the update my realtime applications are completely useless as they drop from something like 25fps to 9 fps even on Mac OS X (no SMC reset fixed the issue). In bootcamp the situation is worse, my software runs at 4 fps and gaming turns to be impossible to play as well.
Please let Apple know about the problem, fill a bug report, even if SMC reset once in a while fixed the issue for you (this is not a common behaviour and must be fixed). We paid the price for cutting edge technology.
Apple shall not do a downgrade of the system after few weeks, remember that most of reviews and benchmarks were done BEFORE the EFI Update, so people are being fooled by Apple in this sense.

Can I use my iMac Install Disc on Macbook Pro?

Hi, all. I was given a friend's old Macbook Pro and I'd like to put Boot Camp on it, but the Boot Camp instructions say I need an OSX Leopard install disc to do it. Naturally, I just recently purged my own software binder and threw away all of my OSX discs except the one that came with iMac I recently purchased. "Why would I need them any more?" said I. Doh.
I have no idea what cat Apple is up to now, but the Macbook is running 10.5.8 and the install disc from my iMac is 10.6.7. My questions:
1) Can I use my iMac install disc on my Macbook Pro, which is about 3-4 years old?
2) Does OS 10.6.7 qualify as Leopard? If not, will it work for what I'm trying to do?
3) Do I need to update the Macbook OS to 10.6.7 to be able to use that disc for the Boot Camp install?
Any information or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

The only thing I'd add to this is that at one point in time you could go to an Apple store and purchase Lion on a USB stick.
If your MBP was compatible and you could find one of those you could boot to it, install from it then setup bootcamp.
Also if you are thinking bootcamp, also consider VMWare Fusion or Parallels which allow you to run Windows while still in OS X.

Slow startup after Mavericks update in MacBook Pro (MD102HN/A)

After the Mavericks update, my MacBook seems to lag at startup, starts really slowly. Especially when the lock screen is about to appear and the Apple logo kind of slides upwards. Does anyone else face the same problem or is it just me? The slide always lags!

Remove all items in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Same for /Library/StartupItems
Then restart your Mac to test.
And check to make sure there's enough free disk space.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. Less can slow your Mac down.
If nothing above helped, the startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Make sure to back up all important data first before using OS X Recovery.

Gray Screen after Yosemite update on MacBook Pro

I have a Macbook Pro from the fall of 2011 and receny updated from Mavericks to Yosemite. The installation seemed to go okay, took like eight hours, but started at first. Then once I opened an application it shut down and tried to restart. It went to a gray screen and then to a gray screen with a restricted symbol, or whatever you want to call it, as pictured below.
Before the update, the computer would shut down for no reason and restart with the message, "Restarted due to problem", or something like that. I had repaired and cleaned the disk using Onyx, and it seemed to have stopped the problem, but the way it shut down this time seemes just like that. Now I cannot get it past this screen... Please help, guys :/

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

After an update my MacBook Pro didn't start, All it does is beep!

Download the latest update on my MacBook Pro 13 "and restarted when the screen did not lit and began to beep, and it beeb like 9 times...what can I do to make it start! I'm desperated, I need to work!

The RAM isn't an issue - did you JUST install 10.8.3 BEFORE this happened? Nonetheless, you SHOULD be able to boot into your Recovery partition (unless it's completely hosed). Try booting into Internet Recovery - holding down the Command, option and R keys whilst booting. It will take a while for the screen to come up - you'll see a globe onscreen while you're booting from Apple servers - and use Disk Utility from there to verify and if needed repair your disk and then reinstall a fresh copy of Mountain Lion. DO NOT erase your disk.
Call back...

Performance reduced after EFI update on Macbook Pro Retina

samething will happen when im playing D3 on Mac OS.
Reseting SMC and PRAM did not help! reinstalling windows7 via bootcamp did not help either.
i there any one here having the sam trouble?

Here is a conclusion of this bug from Hong Kong:
I have had this issue with my rMBP bought in early launch period, i believe it is the first batch.
Then, i bought another one with customization, which is believed is FRESH and a newer batch. NO SUCH ISSUE!
I have compared this 2 machine with different batchs and here is the result:
Cooler about 5-10 degree
No throttling under load, both CPU & GPU
use less power of CPU Package and CPU IA Cores according to AID64
lower voltages of CPU Core
3dmark 06 constant at around 15000
3dmark 11 around 2500
3dmark vantage around 10800
with driver 306.97
Are we just help Apple to improve their product at our cost?

After software update my macbook pro has no video

After doing a regular software update on my MacBook Pro (2006/7 model) the display no longer works. I've been running Lion since it came out with no problems (until last night). I hear the chime and the power light is on. I've tried the different boot options and still no display. Booting off a snow leopard disc appears to be running okay (disc spins periodically) but still no video. I've also reset the PRAM/NVRAM. The battery seems fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If your computer is stuck restarting, hold the Power button to turn off your MacBook Pro and turn it on again. As the installation finished previously, nothing will get damaged

Can't open iPhoto after maverick update

Hi
Updated to Maverick and now can't open i photo and can't get it to update. Hepl!

What update? With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what update did you apply?
what version of iPhoto are you currently using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you try to open iPhoto?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
Happy Holidays
