Comic life can not find iphoto library

I am working on Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and iPhoto 09. In the past I had no problem using Comic Life Deluxe version 1.5.2 but about 3 months ago my Comic life could not find my iPhoto library. This is the message I get when I click on the tab...
Comic Life cannot find your iPhoto Library.
Perhaps you are not using iPhoto or your iPhoto Preferences are out of date?
Both my iPhoto and Comic Life are up to date. The finder tab and capture tab are working on Comic Life. I have tried an old fix I found posted but that did not work either (com.apple.iPhoto.plist)
Any ideas out there?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try deleting the iPhoto preference file again, the com.apple.iApps.plist file and the Comic LIfe preference file. Reboot and launch iPhoto and then Comic Life and see if that helped.

Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this? Graham

Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this? A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

Can not find itunes library on recent upgraded computer.

We recently had our computer upgraded. Downloaded itunes software. When opened itunes library, noticed mostly songs from windows came into library and with multipole repeats. Deleted them, hooked up IPOD nano and all my songs from it deleted. H..E..L..P.. NOw I can not find my library as it was before it go worked on.

If you do not have a backup of your iTunes library from your computer you pretty well are out of luck.

Can not find a library in Aperture after upgrading to Mavericks?

I upgraded my Aperture to 3.5 on Mavericks. Since I have updated my Aperture, I cannot open my second Library "Aperture Library"
This is what it happens:
I can not find my "Aperture Library" photos, and when I try to switch between the library (File>Switch Libaries>"Aperture Library" this comes up:
When I click on relaunch:Then when I click on "Aperture Library" and press chose, a 3 second process occurs and Aperture returns back to where it was when it was opened. The "Aperture Library" doesn't appear anywhere.
When I go to Altinoz (My Mac) > Pictures > Aperture Library:
When I try to open the Aperture Library folder in My Mac > Pictures > Aperture Library
Do you want to import this library to Aperture (which was already in the old verison of Aperture)
An error comes up:
The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again.
I would really appreciate your help on helping me find "Aperture Library" Photos I have, since the upgrading to Mavericks really made annoying problems to me.

It seems to me that you need Aperture 3.2.4 to open your library.
If you have it then do the following:
Uninstall Aperture 3.5
Install Aperture 3.2.4
Start Aperture and verify that you can access your library
Update to Aperture 3.4.5
Start Aperture and verify that you can access your library
At the end update to Aperture 3.5 and upgrade your library
If you don't have the older versions, maybe try to open the library in iPhoto. Does that work?

Photoshop Bridge can not find Iphoto files

When I open Bridge in Photoshop to open pictures It can not find my Iphoto files. There is an Iphoto icon with the other folders but when I click on it it opens Iphoto it does not show the files.

Bridge and iPhoto do pretty much the same thing in different ways and can not be used together - choose one or the other
PS can be used with iPhoto directly without bridge - set it as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences

Can not find applications library on MacBook air

Trying to delete a Bento data base file. Can not find under user

Apple has hidden the user library in Lion. Hold down the option key in finder's Go menu and you will be able to select it.
If you need to access your user library frequently you might want to read MacWorld's 18 ways to view the ~/Library folder in Lion .
If you use EasyFind as softwater suggested right-click on one of the search results to show the file/folder in the finder or to move it to the trash.

Can't Find iPhoto Library File

I'm going crazy here! I cannot find the iPhoto Directory file I need to locate to delete it and create a new file in my external drive.
I can't seem to find an indication in the Preferences section of the program itself either.
I've done a search with the name, I've looked everywhere in Finder, Library, User directories, etc. I can't say I've looked EVERYWHERE because obviously that file is somewhere!
Any ideas? It just doesn't seem to be where it would normally be defaulted to. Somewhere in time I must have moved it.

Niel, thank you very much for your response. Mystery solved and found the "iPhoto Library" folder.
However, I discovered a bizarre condition. Not sure if you can shed light on this, but here it is:
The file exists in a sub directory which trails back to a main folder that seems to not exist. In other words, I cannot path down to this file from a drive to folder to sub folder in Finder. That main root directory is not showing in Finder!
Maybe this is a clue: The directory when I follow your search commands lists the folder location starting with "/Volumes/..." I don't have any directories or drives with that starting name.
Any comments on this mystery is appreciated.

MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8   I reloaded Snow Leopard and now can not find iPhoto. Can I retrieve the pictures from the system?

ProtectMac AV alerted to a trojan and was unable to remove it. The Geeks at Best Buy could not sort it and recommended reinstalling the OS so I off-loaded the files and 1200 pics from Europe to a flash drive. I reinstalled Snow Leopard, iWork, and upgraded from Office: Mac 08 to Office: Mac 2011.
Once the system was proved up the files were reloaded but the flash drive failed before the pictures could be reloaded. Is there a way to recover the pictures that were in iPhoto which is not here even with a search. All I can find is:
iLifeShared              Oct 23, 2010 5:16 PM              --      Folder

Library6.iPhoto                  same                             same
I could get into the registry on a widows machine safely but know nothing about a Mac. I read up a bit on the Terminal and Commands but prefer to not be trolling around with the unknown. Any idea where iPhoto went and why? Thanks! /joe

When you backed up to the flash drive did you copy the iPhoto Library that was in the Pictures folder? If you had copied it intact and then back you would have your library back.
You can try using   MediaRECOVER or SubrosaSoft FileSalvage to try to recover what's on the flash drive. Both will let you run it in demo mode to see if you can recover the photos before you have to purchase.

IPhoto can't find iPhoto Library files

Hi All,
I have a older iMac running 10.4, 512MB RAM. It was running very slowly and reading other posts figured my large iPhoto library (iPhoto 6) was the culprit. I moved all but 2011 pictures to an external hard drive and deleted files from my iPhoto Library (did this through the Finder, not iPhoto). I can see my .jpg files on the external drive and can see the 2011 .jpg files on my HD in the iPhoto Library. When I launch iPhoto, I have no photos. Within iPhoto I've tried to "import to library" and select my 2011 folder of .jpg's but the file is "unreadable". I've tried changing the location of my iPhoto Library folder and "chose library" but that hasn't worked either.
I think I may have deleted some file or path that allows iphoto to access the iphoto library folder (I copied back a "data folder" from the external HD but that didn't solve my problem) but I can't figure out what it could be. Can anyone help? I am just barely literate and apparently, know just enough to get myself into trouble, so "dumbed down" instructions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for any help you can lend!
Shannon

believe it or not, but I did do some research before I started... I was just trying to back up files and create space - don't you people advocate for that kind of thing?
I don't think that I did not follow your link... I did not move the entire contents of my original library, just most, I wanted... well it doesn't matter - I was able to solve the problem following a tip posted by "Old Toad" found below.
Thanks for trying to help - I'm just glad I can see my photos again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Can't find iPhoto library in Finder

I want to move my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and have read posts about how to do this but I have one problem - my iPhoto library is no where to be found in Finder. It's not in the Pictures folder, Media is not even listed on the right hand side, so I can't look there, like some postings have suggested. Any ideas where it's hiding or how to find it? I'm using iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3 with OS X 10.8.3

Select any of the photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected.
In the Finder's Column View you can track back to the Library's location.

HT4927 Using Time Machine but can't find iphoto library anywhere for replacement

I'm having issues with a few wierd duplicate iphoto Events so I thought I would use my Time Machine for the 1st time and just restor the Library ONLY (not all of iphoto, just the library) to sometime last month and go from there. BUT....................
Nothing I have seems to match any useful info I can find on this forum. My iMac is OSX 10.8.2/iphoto 11 vs9.4.2 (everything is latest-updated)
I go into Time Machine, pick a date from early last month, and I see....."All My Files/ Desktop/Applications/Documents" then in Devices are
my external drives. Thats it. Where is the "iphoto library"? I feel like I'm missing something. When I look up the subject in this forum under Time Machine, it says to open Finder 1st (why I don't know), then open Time Machine (of course) but the sample picuture of Apples Website of Time Machine doesn't look like my Time Machine as I've just described.
Even in FINDER I see All My Files/Desktop/Applications/Documents: nothing that says "iphoto Library" (I can find "iPhoto" in Applications, but the application is fine, it's just the messed up 4 or 5 events I want to fix by going back to my library from last month, which was fine).
I assume that I need to:
1-close iphoto (done)
2-open Time machine and pick my date (done)
3- here is my problem (i think): I don't see a "iphoto library" to click on and then click on something that says "replace". I've never had to use time machine so I don't know what it will look like.
Please help,

By default the iPhoto library is in your pictures folder
you choose the one you want from a "finder looking display" and click restore (there is no "repalce")
althought the Mac is great and easy to use, every software program does have a learning curve and it is worth reading the instructions - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Can not find iPhoto.plist

Edited photos are not saved and when I try to print an edited photo it reverts to the orignial. I read that deleting "com.apple.iphoto.plist" and relaunching iPhoto should fix but I can't find the iphoto.plist file no matter what I do.

I read that deleting "com.apple.iphoto.plist" and relaunching iPhoto should fix
It won't.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.

I can not move iPhoto library to external

I cleared out (formatted) a WD HD and want to use it for my external iPhoto library. My Macbook Pro is not big enough to house 400GB of photos. When I select iPhoto library from pictures and drag it to my HD it has a little xed out white circle. Can anyone tell me why this will not let me move the library?

I just did a windows format since I could not do anything on my Mac. Looking up how to format a HD for a Mac was helpful and I am now moving my photo library YEAH!! Thanks!

Moved My Hard Drive Now Can Not Find iTunes Library

This is my first post, so I am hoping that I can find an answer to my question.
I recently purchased via eBay a Airport Extreme as I wanted to have my hard drive away from my MacBook. Perviously the Hard Drive was connected with a USB and on that Hard Drive was all my Itunes Music, and it worked 100%. Now that I have the Apple Airport Extreme, which is up and working I can not longer assess my iTunes.
I can see it when I look at the finder, and I have changed it to look at it in the peferance menu on the iTunes, but I think I have not done everything. I have read about all the things that you can do, but they are all taking about "moving" or "backing up" the iTunes library, I have it in the right spot I can not piont the iTunes to it.
Can you please give me any advice. Please find below a screen shot of my Hard Drive, maybe I am not putting the right file up, the one that I have been picking is the one highlighted, iTunes.
Thanks in Advance.
Peter
