Cannot open Photos app after today's upgrade

Hello
I upgraded the Yosemite OS today to the new version with Photos
All seemed to be ok except for Photos which is not opening as every time i try to open it the system tells me: an error occurred please restart application
All info is still in the iPhoto app but i never managed to actually start the migration process due to this blocking error
I tried restarting and turning the Mac Off but to no avail
I am using a MacBook Pro of 2012
I cannot remove Photos to reinstall it as this is embedded in the Yosemite OS so any idea is more than welcome
Have a nice day and thanks for the help on this
Dimitri Dupont

Additional info - all still works on Iphoto so nothing is "lost". It is just that i never get further than the startup screen and when clicking on the blue "start" button the error message appears

Cannot open Photos app on iPhone 4S.

It worked fine while taking photos for most of the day, but then after taking a photo I got the spining wheel and it stalled then went to my home screen. I cannot access any of the 216 photos I took through Camera Roll or Photos app. I even tried connecting it to my laptop and removing the pics that way, but the DCIM folder is empty. It's size is 0 bytes. I have restarted the iPhone several times hoping that would help, but each time I attempt to open the Photos app it shows the screen for just a second and lists the Camera Roll (216) photos and then goes back to the home screen. Any advice would be appreciated. I would like to NOT lose the photos.
Thanks.

Try resetting it: hold on/off and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignore the red off slider that appears first), release and wait for the phone to restart.

After upgrading to mavericks, i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, etc

Why i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, software update, etc after upgrading to mavericks? How can i fix this? please help me

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice.

Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to OS 10.6.8. Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software. Can you help?

Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to OS 10.6.8. Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software. Can you help?

How did you buy it online? Did you buy a registration number from the Apple Store?
Then you can download the Trial version from this link:
Aperture 3.1 Trial
and run Software Update immediately after installing.
Go to the Applications folder and delete Aperture.
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.
Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to OS 10.6.8.
But what exactly is the error you get, when you try to launch Aperture? Maybe you need to do more than updating.

Help! After today's upgrade to 18.0.1 my Firefox fails to navigate to any site.

After today's upgrade, my Firefox is totally unable to navigate.
If I type an URL in URL box and press Enter, I see blank screen (tab titled "New tab")
I had numerous tabs in different tab groups. The tabs are still shown in tab group view, but as soon as I switch to a tab, the title changes immediately to "New Tab", and again nothing is shown.
What I tried (nothing works)
1. Creating a new profile and launching FF in it
2. Starting with all plugins disabled

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Cannot open any apps in IOs 8.0.2

After the update, I cannot open any apps on my Ipad Air. They open only to close again immediately. All of them. They still run in the background, but none of them will go to a full screen. I cannot reset the Ipad either, because I need to turn off location services first and it will only show me the screen for a split second before it crashed back onto the desktop/home screen. I tried the two button reset etc. The Ipad is 6 months old.....HELP!!!

hi, Brett - I'm having a problem now restarting my iPhone.
iTunes (yep, it's the latest Windows version) keeps crashing ("iTunes has stopped working" message).
The installed apps are blacked out with text beneath the icon "Waiting".
And iTunes crashes on step 4 of 4 (Syncing Apps to John Alton iPhone 5S - step 5 of 5). Starts on the first app it tries to reinstall / sync.
I am manually installing each application because I'm unable to bring back from syn. (On the iPhone, in App Store, go to Purchased > Not on this iPhone,
But I'm still unable to run iTunes because it crashes while attempting to re-load the applications and data.
Little help?
thanks,
John

Problems with opening iBA books after the recent upgrade.

How many folks have had problems opening .iba books after the recent upgrade??
I did ! I completed and delivered a free book which was No: 9 in series - all the others opened OK in iBA after the upgrade except this last one.
I read the forum, none of the offered solutions worked for me.
I contacted support and was eventually asked to upload to there server the original .iba file which I did a few days back.
Today I had a reply to advise they had found and corrected the probem and gave me server access info to download a revised file.
The problem turned out to be the "Intro Media" I had dropped an image and not a video, which I have done before without probelms.
Apple support have removed it and the book file opens OK.
I dont know if this will help others who had problems opening files in iBA after the update.
It does seem as though the delivery of content acceptance critera is getting tighter or maybe its my own fault for doding the requirements!

Its seems like the application load may have not completed properly or there were some issues.

I cannot open my app (UK Tides)?

I cannot open my App (UK Tides)?

Try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with UK Tides 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the UK Tides app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I cannot open photo's stored in my i photo library to edit in Photoshop Elements. Adobe comes up with the message program error. I use a Macbook Air.

I cannot open photo's stored in my i photo library to edit in Photoshop Elements. Adobe comes up with the message program error. I use a Macbook Air.

No, that is done deliberately, since letting other programs poke around in the iphoto library is the fastest known way to corrupt it and make it wither up and die, along with your photos. If you want to use PSE with iphoto you have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Edit them, then save without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, although you have to lose the edits to see the original again. You may need to set the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing to make this work.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes of any sort that you like, save the file, and import it to iphoto as a new file.
