Cant open iphoto after getting ilife

Like others I downloaded ilife and get a message "in order to open iphoto you need to update for latest version". I removed everything, tried again but no good. What should I do please. I was happy with previous version of iphoto. Looking at all the problems reported here, i think I will revert to that. How do I do that please, if i decide to do so

Like others I downloaded ilife and get a message "in order to open iphoto you need to update for latest version".
No - no one here has downloaded iPhoto '11 or iLife '11 - it is not an available legal download - updates are available to download
I removed everything, tried again but no good.
Exactly what did you remove?
What should I do please. I was happy with previous version of iphoto.
What version of iLife was that?
Looking at all the problems reported here, i think I will revert to that.
Note that the reason all for those problems are here is -- BECAUSE - this the place to report and solve problems - making a judgement here is like going to the hospital emergency room and deciding that everyone in town is sick - few people have had problems and with the 9.1.1 update almost every thing appears to have been cleared up
How do I do that please, if i decide to do so
To revert is simple - load your backup of the previous version and install the previous version from the the disks

  • I cannot open iPhoto after upgrading latest apple updates.  Getting a message latest iPhoto version is not available in the US

    I cannot open iPhoto after latest apple upgrade.  Getting message latest iPhoto version is not available in the US.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    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.

  • When I attempt to open iphoto, I get the loading icon in the working space/picture area.  If I try to reinstall ilife '11, will I lose any pictures?  Where, on the hard drive, are all my pictures actually stored?

    You won't lose anything because you have a back up, right?
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 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 and keywords 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. .

    When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    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 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.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • 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.

  • Can't open iPhoto after upgrading computer

    Hello!
    I have an old iBook G4 that crashed a few weeks ago. I couldn't rebuild it so and got Mac OS X Leopard Version 10.5 and installed it. I transferred everything from my iMac (latest model) including photos. Then I got my old iLife '06 and installed iPhoto to the iBook (which was on there before it crashed). I did all the software updates and now have iPhoto 6.0.6 installed.
    However, when I try to open iPhoto I get the following 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."
    I can see all my photos in finder under 'All Images'. When I click on a photo the path is
    username - pictures - iPhoto Library - Originals - Year - Date - photo file name
    However, when I go to finder and click username - Pictures and then iPhoto Library there is nothing there.
    How do I get to open and import my photo library?
    Thanks,
    Julia

    As the new iMac has a later version of iPhoto it sounds like the Library has been updated, and the old iPhoto 6 cannot open it.
    Your choices are
    1. Update iPhoto on the older machine
    2. Rebuild the library for iPhoto 6. To do this try use iPhoto Library Manager.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and cant open iPhoto!  Saw an update for app but it won't let me; says not available for this AppleID because it was bought by a diff user or item was refunded.   Not so. What now?

    UPgraded to Yosemite and now I cant open iPhoto.  App says it needs to be updated but yet I cant udate cause it says update not available for this ID cause it was bought by another user (I only have 1 Apple Id) or item was refunded or cancelled.  ANY IDEAS?  Thnx!

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept it and the other iLife/iWork applications into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

    You need to re-install iphoto as it is missing parts of itself.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    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 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.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message:  "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported.  Do you want to import it?  Yes or No"  Any suggestions?

    Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message:  "A photo has been found in the Iphoto library that was not imported.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Quit iPhoto and to to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) - right click (control click) on it and select show package contents - find the folder named import (on importing) and drag it to the desktop - DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES - launch iPhoto and you will be fine.
    Open the import(ing) folder and if there is nothing in it that you need move it to the trash and empty the trash

  • Can't open iphoto after migration to new machine

    I just migrated from an older iMac to a new one, and now when I try to open iPhoto I get the message "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto".  I tried updating iPhoto on the new machine, but it seems to be up to date.  The old library is VERY large (>35 GB), and I don't want to have to go back and deal with touching up all the photos again.  Any ideas?

    What version of iPhoto was on the old machine?
    What version of iPhoto on the new machine?
    How did you move the Library?

  • Cannot open iPhoto after downloading Yosemite, I am running iPhoto 6.9 and have downloaded the iPhoto upgrade 1.1 to no avail

    Cannot open iPhoto after downloading Yosemite. I have upgraded to iPhoto 6.9 and have downloaded iPhoto upgrader 1.1 to no avail.

    Did you go to your Applications/Utilities folder and actually double click on the updater to run it?

  • 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.
