Do you have a time machine backup? If you do, then you can!
1- Uninstall iphoto 11.
Open finder. Go to your application folder. Drag iphoto to the trash. Delete iphoto icon form the dock (drag it out of the dock).
2- Reinstall iphoto 09
Open your time machine backup. Navigate to the application folder and find iphoto. Copy it.
Open finder, navigate to *+_your computer_+* application folder and paste it.
3- Restore your iphoto library
a- Open Finder go to "+your username+"/Pictures
b- Drag "iphoto Library" to the trash. Enter your password if asked. That will delete the iphoto library created by iphoto 11.
c- Now on your *+_time machine backup_+*, navigate to the same folder (Pictures), copy "iphoto library" (this is your old library created by iphoto 09).
d- Now open Finder go to "+your username+"/Pictures and paste "iphoto library there.
Go to your application folder and launch iphoto.
Locate the iphoto icon on your dock.
Right-click on it, select option, keep in dock.
*+Very important! Any pictures added after upgrading to iphoto 11 will be gone! If they are very important and you don't have them saved anywhere else, please don't follow this procedure.+*
I hope It's not too confusing.

  • Downgrade OS and iphoto database

    G'day
    I foolishly upgraded my imac to ox x 10.9.5  from snow leopard.  The upgrade to maverick ( I think it is called) did a database upgrade of some kind to my iphoto library.   I want to remove maverick and reinstall snow leopard from scratch to get a clean image.  But I fear that my iphoto library won't work.  And possibly my timemachine backups won't work either. 
    Is it possible to reinstall an older operating system, and have my iphoto and timemachine backups still work or am I screwed?
    Thanks

    .   I want to remove maverick and reinstall snow leopard from scratch to get a clean image.  But I fear that my iphoto library won't work.  And possibly my timemachine backups won't work either. 
    What kind of backup do you have?
    Do you have a full clone of of your Mac from before the upgrade or full Time Machine backup with all applications and the system library and user library, your iPhoto library, etc? With a full backup you can revert to a previous system, if you erase your Macs, reinstall Snowleopard, and then use the setup assistant to migrate all apps and data from your backup.  See this link:   OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
    But if your Snow Leopard backup is incomplete, it will be difficult to revert. There is no lossless way to downgrade an iPhoto Library  to a previous version. In that case it would be more profitable to find out, why your upgrade to Mavericks went wrong and to solve the issues you now are having.

  • I downloded iphoto 11 9.2 and when opened it for the first time and the program started to update my iPhoto library the file got corrupted. That has happened in the two macs I have (both of them rather new and updated to last Lion version 10.7.2).

    I downloaded Iphoto 11 9.2 from the apps store (was on iphoto '09 before version 8.x) and when opened it for the first time it tried to update my photo librery and ended up corupting it to the extreme that I had to get a backup from time capsule and downgrade my iphoto version. I spent yesterday 6 hours at the genius bar in an apple store and they were not able to provide me with any other solution. In the emantime, I have to forget about about photo streaming... Any idea, is this a bug that somebody knows how tp fix?

    In fairness, this isn't an issue in iPhoto 11 but one in your Library. Some file or other in there is damaged and that's what causes the crash during the upgrade.
    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.  

  • Why is it no longer possible, since the iPhotos upgrade to 9, to select a number of photos and "hold on to them" when changing to a different left-margin "view"?

    There has been a downgrade since iPhotos was… upgraded.
    Before iPhotos was upgraded to 9, It USED to be that
    IF you chose a photo or a number of photos WITHIN an event
    (ensuring that they were engulfed in yellow or blue),
    and THEN went to the left margin and clicked on Photos
    in order to view the ENTIRE library's photos
    (not just those in that particular event),
    the selfsame photos would REMAIN chosen in the LARGER context.
    That is no longer the case.
    And that was very useful, because
    if you wanted to move a batch of photos within one event
    to within another event, that was the easiest way to do so
    — whereas now, we have to search for and "find" them all over again.
    When I go "back" to Photos, I not only lose the selected images,
    say from March 2009, I end up at a totally different place,
    say in October 2006, and I have to do lots more "work" finding
    the photos again then used to be the case.

    Flag the Photos.
    Switch to Events View
    Select the Target Event
    Events menu -> Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event

  • Iphoto help unavailable

    Hi, Today I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and iLife '09 to iLife '11. When I started iPhoto, it upgraded the photo collection. I'm trying to use the help tutorials to see what's new,  but ALL help topics display as
    The selected topic is currently unavailable.
    To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet.

    Hello KIRS10MG,
    The same thing happened to me, but it was 7 DAYS after I "updated" (read "downgraded") my iphoto 11 to ver.9.2.1
    I found what appears to be my photos by going to iphoto and clicking on "file" then clicking on "import to library", then going to the bottom part of the left-hand column where it says "media", and clicking on "photos", then, on the top menu bar just to the right of the word "photos" will be  a blue or graphite "up-down" arrows box. Click on that, and you should get some choices that you may not recognize, but explore them with the "thumbnails" format selected (that's the one that looks like 4 little squares, it's just to the left of the aforementioned "photos with the up-down arrows" selection). Exploring this in the thumbnails view should allow you to see your photos that "disappeared" Then you should be able to manually import them back into iphoto.
    WHY ALL THIS GOBBLDEYGOOK IS NECESSARY IS SOMETHING ONLY THE apple SOFTWARE UPDATERS KNOW!!!!!
    Personally, I have yet to restore my photos to where they were originally, that is, on iphoto, but I'm about to do that now, and I'll certainly report on this thread what my experiences were.
    Thanks for "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING" apple!!

  • Issues with NAS, iPhoto, RAW file format, AEBSn, Leopard

    I think I've isolated it down to a networking stack issue with Leopard, but I was hoping I could get some more thoughts/advice. I don't want to downgrade to Tiger, but I may need to! Either that or host my iPhoto library locally.
    Scenario:
    My iPhoto library was messed up. Some albums were missing and it couldn't seem to find them. Rebuilding my library was giving me errors. So, I decided to start fresh. I created a new library and began importing files. I noticed that my RAW (.CR2) files were showing glitches in them! These were major glitches, like big squares of blue or yellow and distorted pictures. I checked the original pictures, those were fine. I checked the pictures in my new iPhoto library, those files are corrupted! Not the thumbnails, but the files themselves. I opened the file in Photoshop to verify. Yup, busted.
    Attempted Solution:
    I tried downgrading to iPhoto 7.0 from 7.1.1, thinking that that might be the problem. Still having issues with the RAW files. Do I need to downgrade to iPhoto 6? I can't believe that's the answer. Even in iPhoto 7.0, the problem persists.
    Now here's the interesting thing: not all files are broken. Some files work, others don't. Some files are imported without glitches some of the time; reimporting them results in a glitch. That suggests to me that it's a networking problem.
    I'm using 802.11n to an AEBSn2 (gigabit), which has a ReadyNAS NV connected to it by gigabit ethernet. I don't think it's a hardware network thing since everything seemed to work in Tiger.. I think it's a way that Leopard handles the networking stack. Didn't they revise the underlying network stuff for Leopard?
    Help!

    Are you able to switch to 11g? I heard that helps for some people. I haven't tried it yet. Right now, I have about 7500 photos, so I want to copy everything and back it up. Once I get it backed up, I'm going to try other solutions, but it may be a few days before I get anything tested.

  • Want to downgrade iphone from 9.4.3 to 9.4.2

    upgraded the system to 10.8.2 and after the upgrade iphoto is not working. When i try to open it says iphoto requires Mac OS X version 10.8.3 or later. I dont want to upgrade to 10.8.3, so anyway I can still use iphoto? If I try to download the 9.8.2 version and try to install it, the system says 9.8.3 is already installed .
    Is there any way to downgrade or use iphoto now, in case if i dont want to upgrade to 10.8.3

  • SOLUTION to iPhoto 6 crashing without warning during library upgrade

    THE PROBLEM
    The problem which I and some others in this forum were facing was that iPhoto 6 would CRASH WITHOUT WARNING halfway through the process of updating our previous iPhoto 5 library. This is a different problem from the permissions issues which some other users have faced, which iPhoto 6 does warn you about.
    THE EXPLANATION
    After trial and error, I concluded that there was a corrupted photo in my library that iPhoto was choking on during the upgrading process. Unfortunately, there was no easy way to identify which of my 3000+ photos this was. Hence, the solution was to laboriously test my library year-by-year, to isolate the year in which the problematic photo was hiding. This meant creating individual copies of my iPhoto library, one for each year, and then test-upgrading each individual copy. Each individual year upgraded fine, except for 2004. Thus, I could deduce that the problematic photo was in 2004. I then created a new copy of my iPhoto 5 library, containing all photos except for those in 2004. It upgraded fine. I then manually dragged my photos from 2004 back into iPhoto. Thus, all my comments/ratings/keywords for other years were intact, and I only had to re-do 2004.
    THE STEPS
    In order to use this solution, you must have a backup of your iPhoto 5 library. It also helps if you can install a fresh copy of Mac OS X 10.4 and iPhoto 6 (SIX) on another partition. The steps are:
    1. Reinstall/'downgrade' to iPhoto 5 (this requires deleting the iPhoto 6 application and also all iPhoto receipts in the /Library/Receipts folder, before reinstalling from iLife '05)
    2. Create multiple copies of your iPhoto 5 library backup (the entire iPhoto Library folder from your iPhoto 5), and title the backup copies 'Early Photos', '2003', '2004', '2005' and '2006'.
    3. By holding down Option while launching iPhoto 5, open each copy of your library, and delete photos from each copy so that only one year of photos remains in each copy, i.e. you should have one library containing only 'Early Photos' (pre-2003), one containing only 2003 photos, etc.
    4. Test-upgraded each individual 'annual' library on another installation of iPhoto 6. Those that can be upgraded are fine. The one that crashes obviously contains the corrupted photo.
    5. Go back and create a fresh copy of your iPhoto 5 library, and open it in iPhoto 5. Delete only the photos from the problematic year, leaving all the rest behind. Before deleting the photos, drag them into a folder on the desktop, so that you can re-import them later.
    6. Now re-install iPhoto 6 (the end is near, trust me) and open the fresh copy of your iPhoto 5 library. Upgrade it. You will now have a upgraded library, minus all the photos from the excluded year.
    7. You should now be able to re-import photos from the excluded year, by dragging them into iPhoto 6. However, this may mean reintroducing the corrupted photo into your library. I really can't help you beyond this - re-import at your own risk, and always keep backups.
    8. Enjoy (after much frustration).
    ALTERNATIVES
    It isn't necessary to test your library year-by-year. For example, if you only have photos from one year, then you'd have to find some other way to break your library into logical chunks, and test each chunk using the procedure above. Again, the chunk that crashes during upgrading contains the corrupted photo. It's really up to you how finely you want to sub-divide and test your iPhoto 5 library, to isolate the corrupted photo.
    (P.S. Really, this should be addressed by Apple. It is murder and really tedious to do this, and I suspect it would be difficult for anyone not familiar with Mac OS X, and also difficult if you don't have multiple partitions/drives to install separate copies of iPhoto 5 and iPhoto 6.

    Thanks for your help. It should work with some iPhoto libraries, but unfortunately not with mine.
    iPhoto was crashing, so I found the guilty album, deleted it, retried: but it crashes on another album, etc. I think I have more than one corrupted picture/album, so the only solution to make iPhoto complete the update was to remove 90% of my pictures... not a real solution

  • Rebuilding iPhoto '05 database before upgrading to iPhoto '06 lost images

    Because of the bizarre library problems I've been having, I downgraded to iPhoto '05, put my backed-up iPhoto library back in place and had iPhoto '05 rebuild the database.
    When I upgraded to iPhoto '06 and my database was converted, I poked around my old film rolls to make sure everything worked. In several instances, I could see thumbnails, but when I tried to view the picture in edit mode, I got a blank screen with a grey X.
    I looked in the Originals and Modified folders and confirmed that the photos were gone.
    Any idea what could have caused this? I never modify my iPhoto library manually, so I'm fairly sure I didn't bork something myself.
    thanks in advance,

  • I need iPhoto 9.5.1 update. Can't go to Yosemite.

    Can't migrate to 9.6 and Yosemite. Legacy apps needed for business. But after a rebuild of iMac with Mavericks everything is great except I cannot open my library of 400k+ images. I've reinstalled older version and have been able to update to 9.4.3 but can't get further. Open iPhoto and it says that there is an update to 9.5.1 but then just takes me to App Store and the 9.6 version which is only Yosemite.
    So frustrating. Why is 9.4.3 still a download through Apple's support site but not 9.5.1?
    Any help?

    If you can't find a way to restore your iPhoto 9.5.1 you can downgrade your iPhoto Library to 9.4.3 by using the free version of  iPhoto Library Manager and following this iPLM tutorial: Can I use iPhoto Library Manager to "downgrade" my library to an older version of iPhoto? (The answer is Yes).

  • How do I upgrade from iLife 08 to iLife 09 after complete OS reinstall but have left disk in another country - Can I do it?

    I just had to completely reinstall my OS from the startup disks on my MacBook Pro ... my Time Machine backup had been corrupted, so I started from the original disks etc.
    I have now got back to OS Lion and iWork 09 and iLife 08, but have just realised that I do not have the iLife 09 disks with me as I have moved country and must have left them in my old house (in the cellar!!!).  Can i download the iLife 08 to 09 upgrade somewhere?
    I also have iMac on which I had pretty much the same S/W configuration before I hit the problem that caused me to completely reinstall the OS etc.  I have a 'family' licence for the iLife 09 - can I use the installation on my iMac to install on my MacBook Pro?
    Thanks

    There are numerous supporting files, i.e. themes, etc. that are required for iPhoto (and iDVD) so just copying the applications from the one Mac to the other won't do the trick. You need to install it.
    You might try using Migration Assistant to copy your user account from the  iMac to the MBP.  Or, downgrade your iPhoto Library to iPhoto 7 (08) via this tutorial from iPhoto Library Manage: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto. Then when you get the disks you can upgrade again to iPhoto 8 (09).
    Otherwise you'll either need to wait till you get those disks (have someone ship them to you) or purchase a copy of the iLIfe 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com or whatever is available where you're currently living.

  • Has adding video to a photo journal been disabled?

    I have been using iPhoto Journals on my iPhone 4s since iPhoto was released.  Everything on my iPhone is updated (iPhoto and iOS).  I was previously able to publish journals to iCloud that had a video in them but now this seems to be disabled.  I can still add the video to my journal on my phone and have it play within the journal there but when I publish to iCloud the journal video doesn't work.  It treats the video like an image.  The same is true for the folder of files exported to iTunes - the vidoe is there but when the journal is viewed in a browser the video doesn't work.
    The quirky thing is I tried re-exporting a previous journal to itunes that had a video in it and had previously played properly in iCloud and when the files were loaded into a web browser, however the new export of the exact same unchanged journal doesn't work in iCloud or when the exported itunes folder is loaded in a web browser (tried Safari, Firefox, and Chrome).  The video file is still there but something is being changed and the video no longer gets linked, just an image from the video.
    What's going on here?  Is this a bug?  Is there anyway to downgrade the iPhoto app on my phone so that I can get the video functionality back?
    Chris
    P.S.  I have read other threads on this issue and have tried the suggestion to delete the documents & Data for iphoto in my iCloud account and this did not work.

    Hi Jim,
    I had the video under the picture frame, but parts of the video are still visible, ( in Photoshop I would simply mask out the area outside the frame, and that's it, it's done, but it seems in Premiere there is no such thing as this type of masking (perhaps ? )
    Hi Steven,
    I don't understand what you wrote, if I crop either the picture frame or the video, it won't look right. However, if I tweek the video just a tad, it would fit pefectly, however, when I do this to the video, just a portion of it sticks out from the picture frame in one area ( in Photos hop a simple mask would hide this )

  • Photo storage solution with ipads only

    My wife just bought an ipad to replace her macbook air and I am considering doing the same for my macbook pro (2007 model). At this point the only real issue we have is our aperture library. I am either going to upgrade my macbook pro to a newer model or replace it with my own ipad. My macbook pro is in every way on it's last legs so something needs to be done soon.
    My questions are:
    can I have my aperture library on a NAS or migrate my aperture library to iPhoto and have iPhotos library on a NAS?
    the follow-up question is if our iPads would be capable of accessing that library to view and edit the photos?
    When importing photos from an SD card to an ipad, would the imported RAW photos go straight into the library or would they go onto the iPads storage? we bought a 16gb model so keeping the photos off the ipad is preferred.
    We like aperture but our library consists primarily of photos of our kids, so we can downgrade to iphoto easily for our workflow, it's just a question as to if what I want can work and if it cant i'd upgrade my mac book pro to a new model.

    1. No and No. Both apps require the library to be sitting on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    2. No. You're going to need some app that can manage the Library, and that means some mac somewhere with either Aperture or iPhoto and iTunes on it.
    3. Can't help you with this one, sorry.
