Duplicate cleaner for iPhoto cannot continue as Library is not selected in iPhoto.

I.) Version Information:
iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29)
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto version 1.8 (1.8.01)
OS X Yosemite (version 10.10.1)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
I have only one iPhoto library. I have launched iPhoto prior to launching 'Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto."
II.) Error message: "Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto cannot continue as Library is not selected in iPhoto. Please start iPhoto and select a library."
III.) What i've tried:
1.) disabled photo stream in iPhoto.
2.) launched iPhoto while holding command & option
a.) - Repair Permissiones
b.) Rebuild Thumbnails
c.) Repair Database
d.) Rebuild Database
3.) Disk Utility --> verify & (later) repair disk permissions.
4.) (after turning off file vault encryption) I ran resetpassword from the terminal and reset permissions exactly as described here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
5.) Deleted "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" (and subsequently recreated it at 1st launch of iPhoto)
6.) Verified that my user account is the owner of my iPhoto library
7.) Against my better judgement, I called their support. I even participated in the Log Me In Rescue support session. I hung up when their agent told me to reset Safari.
I'd like to think that I'm not an idiot, but I have tried everything I could think of. I haven't been able to find much online. I understand that this is 3rd party software, but I don't know where else to post this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Old Toad,
Thanks for your response. I was just about to try your suggestion when I opened Mail. In my frustration, I emailed their support last night. To my surprise, they offered a solution. I just downloaded this "beta" version, and it worked. I just removed several duplicates. I have posted the resolution that worked for me below. Again, thank you for your suggestion.

How reliable is Systweak Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto?

How reliable is Systweak Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto?

Here're the cleaning apps I've tested on a limited basis:
These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported the library.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

Used "Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto" now my video files in iPhoto have an error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved."

As the title states, I used the app "Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto" to get rid of 6 GB of duplicate pictures. However, now when I go to view a video in iPhoto, I get the error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved." I am able to view the video clips (with sound, etc.) in Finder. However, I want to know if there is a way to restore them in iPhoto?????
Thanks,
Leslie
I see that the suggested solution is to restore from back-up... is there anyway to do that without bringing in ALL of the duplicate photos I just deleted?

Try going back to QuickTime 7.4, we've seen the same problem occur with the 7.5 update. How did you make the .mov file that plays all of the files? For us, the problem shows up with reference movies (such as that .mov) made on a Mac, but works fine if it is created on Windows.

Why is duplicate cleaner for iphoto ignoring duplicates?

Why is this app not working? It worked at first.

Ignoring duplicates is better than corrupting the iPhoto library. There have been quite a few posts, were an iPhoto library was no longer working after cleaning out duplicates. The better strategy by far would be to avoid importing duplicates. At least, never try it on the only version of your iPhoto library.

Importing duplicate members for planning appln - EPMA Dimension Library

Hi,
How to import duplicate members while importing dimensions using flat file in EPMA Dimension Library (11.1.2.1).
We have Isprimary column which enables multiple instances of a member as shared members, but how to import duplicate members in EPMA?
From the EPMA Guide:
Specifying Primary and Shared Instances of a Member using IsPrimary
In import files, any two members in the same dimension, with the same name, are always treated
as separate instances of the same member. If a member has multiple instances in a dimension,
the IsPrimary column specifies which instance is primary and which instance(s) are shared. The
IsPrimary column is not required; however, we strongly recommend that you use it. If left
undefined, it defaults to “True”, which assumes that the member is primary. If left undefined,
a warning is displayed in the Import Results file.
Note: Older import files, that do not use the IsPrimary column, can still be run. However, if the
import file does not have the IsPrimary column, it is not possible to create shared members
or move members.
Thanks in advance.

As you are talking about a planning application then duplicate members are not supported but Shared members are.
Cheers
John

Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated

My system is Win7 and I have Acrobat X Pro. It was working fine at first and then I start getting this error message when I try to create a PDF file. I search the web for a solution and the only one works for me is to end the AcroTray.exe from Task Manager. However, this is not a very good solution since I need to create quite a bit of PDF files. And the combine function stops working. Now it's like my Acrobat Pro doesn't work at all. I tried reintall the Acrobat but it doesn't do any good. Can someone help me with this problem please?

I was getting this exact error when trying to print to PDF from Firefox.
FWIW, these steps did not work for me. Here is how I fixed this error for me (Windows 7 64-bit, CS6).
I went to Start Menu > Control Panel > Programs and Features
I found that I had both Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed *and* Acrobat Reader XI. I am not sure how Acrobat Reader got installed, but that was what was causing the error.
I clicked on Acrobat Reader XI and then "Uninstall".
No reboot required. The error went away once Acrobat Reader XI was gone.
I hope that this helps someone else.

Error: PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not Activated

This error seems to pop up randomly and the only way to get rid of it is to reboot my computer. I've tried to exit all applications and restart but does not work. Rebooting is a pain. Can anyone help?

Error: "Adobe Distiller cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated."

I am simply trying to convert a .doc to a .pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro (I have tried from MS Word and also in Acrobat). I know that my product is already activated because when I got to Help>Activation, the "Activate" option is grayed out. Any ideas?

"Interesting enough you can modify PDF files and save them using Adobe [Reader] 8."
That's a feature of Acrobat 8 Professional, in case you didn't know. When using Acrobat 8 Pro, you can configure the setting of any specific document to enable special features when opened with Adobe Reader 8. The special settings include: security, commenting documents (and saving your changes), as well as fill out and save forms.
This means that you can create documents and send it to people who don't have the full Acrobat version (only the free Reader), yet enable them to input their comments and additional data.
You can read more at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/upgrade_customer.html, under the "Enable advanced features in Adobe Reader" section.

Firefox "check for add-on updates" checks even when not selected, request website list for firewall blocking purposes

I work for the Tech Department in a school district. Our student computers are locked down and all settings are reset after a restart. We have set firefox to always allow all add-ons to run and to never check for updates (we update them on a schedule we control). However, since the latest release, we have been prompted after EVERY flash AND EVERY java update that they are out of date and need to be updated. Having the students click on this every time for every affected webpage is no longer an option. We are also not interested in white-listing pages individually; instead, we would like to prevent firefox from finding the update server to prevent any further prompts.
Please provide me with all of the websites/web addresses that "check for add-on updates" uses so we can block them at the firewall level.
Thanks

Part of the problem may be the recent flurry of required updates to FlashPlayer. As I understand it Mozilla took the exceptional step of blocklisting some of those FlashPlayer versions after fixes were released because there were known exploits in the wild.
* See the blocklist
* And flashplayers bulletins https://helpx.adobe.com/security.html#flashplayer
Possibly you are having difficulty in keeping the software updated and so seeing valid warnings from Firefox. You appear (System info aside) to be posting using Firefox 34. The current Release is Fx35.0.1
Possibly it would be worth you considering using Firefox ESR, that still has regular updates including backported critical security fixes, but the major version stays the same for longer and there are less frequent feature changes.

I will send links for a couple of other articles by Private Message.
Steps that may be safe for an IT department may not be recommended for the average reader of this forum.
