Cannot access iPhoto, help!

Help please. I took my Macbook Pro to a Genius today, and he took Yosemite off and put Mountain Lion on. Now I can't access iPhoto as it says I have OSX 10.8.5. Also I can't share from iTunes

Which MacBook Pro do you have? You can see details in the  menu : About this Mac.
Both my MacBook Pros from 2011 are faster than ever with Yosemite. There are many reasons, why a Mac can be slow. I'd ask in the MacBook Pro forum for help, to find the reason. Sometimes it is simply a lack of storage, if you let the free disk space drop below 10 GB, not enough RAM, or you may have installed incompatible software.
Did the Genius make a full backup of your Mac, before he downgraded to Mt. Lion, and do you still have the backup?
Just done an update which came through and now can't get the laptop to open at all
What did you update? An application, or a system update?
What exactly do you see, when you try to startup your Mac? Where is it hanging?

Thx Leonie,
Surprisingly, I just went to the crash reporter and there were no reports re: the iPhoto issue. This is the only report I found, which I not sure is related to the iPhoto issue:

As for the TimeCapsule indeed, I use it as an extended drive but I'm surprised it would be considered a FAT-32 formatted drive as this is an Apple device.
I asked the apple reps if I could use the TimeCapsule for such purpose and no one raised a concern. It's also surprising that I didn't have an issue with this prior to the upgrade to OS X Yosemite.
Having said the above, thank you for your help - if the TimeCapsule is indeed the issue, perhaps I can solve the issue by transferring the iphoto library to an OS extended hard drive.

Hi...
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Select which email address you want to use to share photos on Facebook or email from the pop up menu next to: Default email reader:
Launch iPhoto. Select the photo then from the iPhoto menu bar click Share > Email or Share > Facebook.

iPhoto should be still in your Applications folder and will still work. But if you failed to keep it up to date then Try Terence's instructions here Is Iphoto gone ?i want it back!

I have macbook pro w existing iPhoto library. Now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. Cannot access iPhoto library from Canon software, but prints fine from iPhoto. How can I use iPhoto library w Canon software?

I have a macbook pro w exisitng iPhoto library. I now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. I cannot access iPhoto library for use from Canon software. I can print from iPhoto directly to new printer without problem. How can I use iPhoto library with Canon software? I would like to try the software to see which I prefer...

Simply export some photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and experiment.
Without telling us even what this program is, not to mind what it does, that's the best anyone can suggest.

HT1338 My computer is stuck in upgrade of iPhoto and I cannot access iPhoto; what is a solution?

I was upgrading iphoto as suggested by my computer. I have been "stuck" in the upgrade at step 5 of 10 and cannot access iphoto at all. I have retried this step at least 10 times but am continuously "stuck" Any suggestions?

I too have exactly the same problem as described, where it gets stuck at 81% of step 5 of 9 and cannot do anything. I was prompted to update by computer!
No one yet is to offer a solution other than uninstall and pay for iphoto again.

Cannot access iTunes - HELP

With the upgrade I cannot access iTunes due to 'unexpected error'.
It say it's the visualiser plug-in. But I cannot uninstall Quicktime (which is what I presume it the cause) as the installer is not compatible with this OS (apparently) - it won't let me get past the drive selection to chose uninstall.
I have also already tried reinstalling iTunes and Quicktime (which I can't do).
Any suggestions how to fix this?

I had the same problem. Tracked mine down to Foxy Music Plug In that i had installed through Firefox. Went to ~\Library\itunes\plugins and deleted the plug in, rebooted and its all good now.
Hope this helps

Pages cannot access iPhoto library

I am trying to exchange a picture in a Pages document via the right hand format menu:
When I do this, Pages tries to access iPhoto and comes up with this window:
It says it cannot access the server of the iMac of my partner, however, I am not trying to access her iMac. I just want to use pictures from my own iPhoto library.
Thank you in advance for your support!

Hi,
Thank you for looking into this.
The document has been created by me. However, some of the pictures in my iPhoto library are originally from my partner. I imported them earlier in my iPhoto.
The error happens when I want to replace a photo in the pages document using the format section on the right:
Then the iPhoto library does not open, and an error window pops up:
Translated, this means "Error upon connecting with the server "Brigitte Behrs iMac".

Since upgrading to Lion cannot access iPhoto preferences

Since I upgraded to OSX 10.7 when I try to access iPhoto preferences the application crashes. When I open the preferences, the only category with anyting in it is "General", the others are blank. If I change a preference in the general category and then close the preferences window, the application crashes. I trashed the iPhoto preferences file to no avail. Anyone experiencing this or have a solution?

What version of iPhoto?
Any messages in the Console?

Installed iPhoto library on NAS external HDD - now I cannot access it.Help.

I initially had no problems with accessing photos from iPhoto but now when I open iPhoto I get a message "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." and then "Your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened.Please restore from a backup."
I cannot even see the individual files when I access the share on the NAS drive whether I mount it as smb or afp.
Any way to recover my photos?

Simon
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Cannot access online help in cs6cc

Following appears when trying to access Help via CS6CC
"Adobe Photoshop CC"
There was an error launching the default browser.
You ma need to re-install the application and the
help component.
If the issue is because I do not nor will I ever
use Google chrome or google of any flavor, I guess
I have a problem.
Sorry, do not trust google in any form.

Then what you would do is install a favorite browser and set it as default in that Browser's Preferences.
Photoshop online help does not require the Chrome browser. My online help for CS6, CC, and CC 2014 opens in FireFox.

New v7 installation cannot access any help/online features via photoshop

Hi, have just bought new version 7, and having problems when trying to access help, on line support, photoshop elements online and one line learning resources. any online access automatically opens up MS Word 2007 (have Office 2007) which then just shows the hyperlinks via a word doc.
I have reinstalled 3 times, each time, complete uninstall, cleared rubbish bin, registry and temp files etc plus rebooted computer after each installation. I have also shut off nortons virus and firewall before installation. Also followed putting full file installation onto desktop and install from that, again to no change in my access. This is annoying as I would like to have direct access to the help files, and online learning.
Even when the first screen pops up giving you the options to go to organizer, edit etc, anything I click on that will not open any internet web based access.
I am using a fairly new laptop, only a few months old, has Visa Home Premium, Internet Explorer V 7.0.6 and I generally keep everything up to date with updates but confused by this problem.
Any suggestions on the problem would be great. I am a registered user and own all the disc's this was not a download of the program. Have not had this problem before with any versions, including from Version 1.

I wonder if this Adobe tech note applies:
http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb409025_en-us
It describes the situation in which the Windows registry settings for the HTTP protocol are damaged, so PSE doesn't know which browser to open when it tries to do some Web operation (such as opening online Help). It seems similar to your situation -- it appears that perhaps somehow Word has been configured as the "browser" on your system!
Since this involves modifying the registry for a core part of your system (handling HTTP), I'd follow the instructions extremely carefully (they included making a backup of the registry). Better set a Windows restore point before undertaking this.
