Frozen during library update after upgrade

I know that lots of people have posted about this problem, but I was told that I shouldn't post on their topics and start my own . . . so here goes.
After upgrading to the latest version of itunes, I launch itunes, which then proceeds to update my library. About 75% through the process itunes freezes and does not respond. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall both itunes and quicktime, I have shut down my firewall, I have rebooted, but I can't get anything to work.
I read a thread about problems with compatibility issues with Vista, but I am running XP. So is this an issue with Microsoft? Unfortunately, I am not about to purchase a Mac right now. Has someone found a fix for this issue? PLEASE HELP! I am not especially computer savvy, but I have put in the effort to research this as best as possible and would appreciate some advice!

I've been using Vista with iTunes just fine, even before Apple came out with a "compatible" version. This happened to me upon upgrading to 7.3.1.3. Searching the web I've seen lots of posts from people having this on XP and Mac a couple of years ago. I don't think this is a new problem with Vista.
I tried unistalling the latest version, and going back to 7.2...but it still locked up during library conversion. I did do an experiment where I copied my iTunes directory somewhere else, reinstalled iTunes 7.3, and it opened up fine as a "new" computer. I reversed the process and the problem came back. Right now it looks like the only way to recover is to rebuild my library on a new iTunes install, which is a pain.

Can anyone provide me with a link to the OS X bash Update 1.0 for OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, apparently there is a specific update. I have searched the Apple site without success, I have found the Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion version but not the server versions (which do exist, see Apple security updates)
With Lion and later there is no such thing as a server version of the operating system, this is unlike the previous Mac OS X 10.6 aka. Snow Leopard which did have a specific server version of the operating system.
So, in reality one only needs Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks versions. The server software is merely an application these days.

Random library storage after "upgrading" iTunes library

I recently upgraded my library and found that some of the upgraded songs were stored in proper location in the iTunes library whiles others were stored in the parent folder. Something must be forcing that selection because I even deleted the files from the library and reintalled them and they were again stored in the parent folder rather than the iTunes library. I haven't changed the preference location and most of the upgraded music was stored properly. Indeed, the random storage issue affected some songs in an upgraded album but not all.

Restore that backup you take regularly... Ah, OK.
*Empty library after upgrade/crash*
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename *iTunes Library* as *iTunes Library (Empty)* and then rename the restored file as *iTunes Library*. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See Music Folder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for clean-up tools , if required.

HT6114 My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour.

Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

IPhoto Library unusable after upgrade to iLife'11

I have recently purchased the iLife'11 Family Upgrade Pack for up to 5 Macs with which my Dad and I have upgraded both of our Snow Leopard capable iMacs.
My iMac was fine when upgraded. Immediately after upgrading I was prompted to use Software Update and then the iMac performed an operation to 'upgrade' my iPhoto Library (or was it the other way around?).
However when I upgraded my Dad's iMac (24", 2.16ghz) the upgrade itself seemed to take ok, but something went awry when the Mac got to the point where it wanted to update the iPhoto Library. During this process it kept reporting that certain files were missing and I was forced to search for them manually. I found these files and the upgrade was eventually completed. I forget now which files they were, however one particular file was repeated a number of times.
Anyway, ever since upgrading the iPhoto Library on my Dad's machine, his iPhoto won't open and he's cussing me flashes.
Any idea what went wrong and how I may fix this?
By the way, I took the usual precautions before upgrading, like running Disk Utility, repairing permissions and so on. I even ran Disk Warrior and got that to fix any potential problems before I did anything.

Downloaded the iPhoto Library Manager that you helpfully provided the link for and asked it to rebuild the library.
This appeared to be going well until we got about 75% of the way when iPhoto Library Manager itself froze. Luckily we were able to identify the Photo that it was working on when it froze so we opened up a copy of iPhoto on our backup drive, found the offending Photo and trashed it before emptying iPhoto's trash.
iPhoto continued to behave a bit sluggishly and other problems were aparent such as the Thumb nails for event not changing as the cursor moved over them. So I trashed iPhoto, re-installed the '09 version, then ran the '11 upgrade again followed by the software update of course.
Toboot iPhoto appears to be working again.
By the way, I found out what those files were I mentioned in my first post. They were .dv file from some movies that I don't think belong where they are anyway. They were made by my digital stills camera so that may have something to do with it.
Thanks for the iPhoto Library Manager tip. It helped a lot.

ITunes loads but hangs during library update

Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and, like everyone else, I'm having difficulties.
The program opens correctly. However, when it begins to update my library automatically, it completes about 85% of the update and then hangs ... and hangs ... and hangs some more.
After the program freezes and ceases updating the library, the computer comes to a virtual halt and I have to shut it down manually.
I've reinstalled quicktime, but I'm not certain that has anything to do with this problem.
Any thoughts?

Problems with updates after upgrading to CS4

I am experiencing update problems after upgrading from CS3 to CS4.
After completing the upgrade, I opened CS4 and then clicked on 'Help' and 'Updates'. The download was 280MB of updates, which duly started to install. However, during the install process, I received the 'installation incomplete' pop-up box and could only continue by clicking on the ‘Cancel the current update and continue installing…….’ option. At the end, I shut the machine down.
This morning I have run the CS4 updates again, this time downloading 80MB (I guess the bits that it didn’t do last night). When installing, the same 'installation incomplete' popped up three times.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

OS?
Are you seeing which componenets are not successful? If no message in the progress window about what is being installed, there is probably a log.
Have you tried going to the website to download the update installer?

My apps wont update after upgrading to os 6

Hi,
After upgrading my IPhone 3GS, it will not download and install apps that need updating. Always worked before the update. Anyone else having this problem?

Spent hours last night performing a complicated restore.
at 2am I finaly got my phone restored to an earlier backup. Apple forces the phone back to IOS6 which took ages.
I saw my old notes, then they disappeared again before I could work with them or at least write them down with a pen and paper.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Surely I am not the only person who didnt sync everything with iCloud but rather relied on iTunes backup...

IPhoto library empty after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6

HI,
I have noticed this problem mentioned by others numerous times with no solution that has worked for me. Has a better fix been found other than recopying all of the files in the 'old masters' list into a new library, effectively losing previously created albums, etc.? Is anyone at Apple actually working this issue since it seems to be pretty widespread and apparently directly related to a bug in iPhoto 9.6?.
OK, first, i have no back up iPhoto library. I had one previously but my secondary external drive got full and I had to wipe it to rearrange a bunch of data. Had planned on re-backing it up when I opened iPhoto and uploaded some new photos from my phone, but this event happened and now I am out of luck...
My iPhoto library is stored on an external drive (Wester Digital my Passport for Mac) and has worked fine until yesterday when I plugged my iPhone 6+ in to upload photos and sync with iTunes. Upon booting up iPhoto, I got a notification that I needed to upgrade my library. I clicked on the upgrade function and was then notified that a mistake was found and a repair was necessary. The repair was ongoing when iPhoto froze and entire system failed, giving note that startup disk was nearly full. After doing system restart and opening iPhoto, I found all photos gone from iPhoto window. iPhoto is using the correct library and after looking at all internal files in iPhoto library, I found all photos had been moved to "old masters, old thumbnails, old previews". Files are below:

Size of iPhoto library is still over 500 gigs, so data is there apparently. I immediately backed iPhoto library up, so at least this data has been salvaged, but I still can't access my photos. I have used iPhoto's rebuild functions sequentially all the way to full rebuild, with no photos being found. I then used iPhoto library manager app's rebuild function, and it also revealed no photos.
So, what can I do to sort this out? Needless to say, with 500+ gigs of photos, I am concerned. I am hesitant to do the manual rebuild using the 'old masters' option since I will lose all of my previously organized albums. Is waiting for Apple to issue a fix that will actually restore lost data only a dream or would that feasibly happen? Thanks in advance for any and all help that can be offered.

and....
Here is the step by step method to recover your photos into a new Library....
Please read the warning below first.....
The current emergency only workaround fix for this issue when the user hasn't made or doesnt have access to any backups, is as follows....
Quit iPhoto
In Finder, Select iPhoto Library
Control Click on iPhoto Library and choose Show Package
Drag Masters or Old Masters folder to either desktop or external HD if not enough space on System Drive
Delete or preferably move iPhoto Library file to new location so at a later date one can recover the library again if needed..
Restart Mac
Launch iPhoto... (It should then create a new Library automatically...)
Drag and drop the Masters or Old Masters folder(s) onto iPhoto's icon... or use the menu option in iPhoto to import photos and point to the Masters or Old Masters folders saved out previously.
Be patient............
Photos will then be re-added to iPhoto... and added to the new library...
Note: If you have both Masters and Old Masters folders then add them one at a time, letting iPhoto import and index all the photos from one folder before adding another....
Important Warning!!!: All modifications and folder structures/albums from the original library will be lost.... but at least the original photos are rescued... and a new library is created that should be free of issues with the current iPhoto/Yosemite combination.

Frozen during installing updates unresponsive to any commands any ideas?

Screen frozen whilst installing updates unresponsive to any commands any ideas how to come out?

Turn the machine off by holding down the power key for 7-10 seconds. If the machine doesn't boot normally after that, call back.
Just curious - which updates were you installing? I've been having trouble with the Apple software update server for about 17 hours now.

IPhoto library gone after upgrade to Tiger

My iPhoto library was empty after upgrading to Tiger. I am on my 4th digital camera, so you can imagine how many photos I can no longer find. What is worse, and I don't think there is anything worse, I can no longer see photos of my child who is deceased. I want my photos back!! Can anyone help. The "computer nerd" company that did our upgrade is of no help at all. They talk to me as if I knew anything about computers and I know nothing. Please help me.

Three separate issues then:
1. The files which are corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize
Some things to try:
Change the file suffix to .jpg (i.e lowercase) or .jpeg and see if that helps.
Download Graphic Coverter and try open them with it. Graphic Converter is a image editor, and frankly, if it won't open them, I doubt anything will.
2. "Unreadable Files: 1
The following could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)"?
iPhoto will not import files from the iPhoto Library Folder - it's a simple protection against duplication.
3. iPhoto fails to display any of these images at all.
Do you get a blank square in the iPhoto Window? What happens when you click on a pic to edit it in the iPhoto Window? Do you get a ? or a !
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
If you want to start over:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
