Go Back to iPhoto (iLife) 06 after upgrading to iLife 08

I upgraded and while using iphoto it crashed and i now cannot open iphoto. I have recovered my original photo folder onto dvd and i want to reinstall iLife 06. I followed details in this forum 1-deleted the iLife apps from the apps folder, 2-checked the hd/lib/receipts and there were none to delete and 3-deleted hd/lib/prefs com.appl.iphoto.plst file. However when i insert the ilife 06 disc and click custom install only iphoto is greyed out. I have not yet deleted the ilife 08 iphoto library that is corrupted.
Please help.

What solutions have you tried to get iPhoto 8 working?
Since you have a copy of your V6 library I suggest you try the following:
1 - put the V6 library in your Pictures folder as the only library.
2 - download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
3 - launch iPhoto 08 and convert the library.
If iPhoto is crashing boot into Safe Mode and try. If iPhoto doesn't crash then your account is the culprit. It could be another bad preference file. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
Do you Twango?
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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Carbonite backing my iphoto library again after upgrading to ilife 11

I have Carbonite online backup and have my system backed up. Since upgrading to iLife 11, Carbonite wants to back up my system again thinking everything it backup already is new files/data. This want Carbonite support saids,"we have reviewed the log files and found that duplicate files are being backed up. As the iLife program has changed the My photo and video directories. These are being backed up again. We would suggest you make changes to the settings of iLife program, so that Carbonite does not recognize it as a new data. " My question, want setting am I changing so carbonite doesn't duplicate my back up? it wants to upload 137 gig of data (again) it will take for ever! Thank you for any help.

I also have Carbonite. Before upgrading to iPhoto '11, I divided my library into multiple smaller libraries just so my computer didn't seem so taxed. I have Carbonite in case my computer crashes or is stolen. After doing all this maneuvering of libraries and then the upgrade to '11, my Carbonite was going bonkers.... it even sent me an email saying I hadn't backed up in over a week. I don't know why I got that email. But, I think that Carbonite finally caught up somewhat to my moving around of files and then upgrading to iPhoto '11.
I think I prefer the concept of taking an external HD or two (making one or two additional copies of my libraries).... and, maybe telling Carbonite to not back-up those libraries (the ones that I don't actively use right now) until my Carbonite has caught up on my actively used libraries. Then, once it says that you are caught up, you can one by one add those unused libraries back to your "back-up" to catch any additional changes you may make on those libraries in the future. This way, your current changes are for sure being captured on your Carbonite back-up.
I don't know if this makes sense. And, perhaps your usage is different than mine. But, I had over 14,000 photos in my single library. Now, I have 9 libraries with up to 4,500 in a single library. I only actively use one library right now. And, will be making sure that one is on my back-up with Carbonite. Then, once that is done, I will add the other 8 libraries one by one until they are all updated all the while making sure my primary is being captured as well. But, if something does happen between now and then, I have my external HD with copies of my iPhoto library at least until Carbonite is all the way caught up.

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.

After upgrading to ilife'11 I realized my photos were resorted during the process. I had them sorted manually to way I want them and was wondering if I could get them back in the manual order that I like?

Problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." ?
This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
If iPhoto is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

How do I get my apps back on my phone desktop after upgrade to IOS6

Sync them back to the iPhone via iTunes or redownload them directly to the iPhone.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you also what your app date, you need to restore from backup. See:

DfMagicStage.nib window opens after upgrading to iLife 08

After upgrading from iLife 06 to iLife 08, every time I boot my Mac Pro a window opens named DfMagicStage.nib. This DfMagicStage.nib window contains the following four files: classes.nib, data.dependency, info.nib, keyedobjects.nib.
I opened up these files in TextEdit and the one thing they appear to have in common is Garage Band references.
Does anyone know what is causing this to happen? I have searched Apple's Support site and these discussion forums, and Google, but have not had any luck figuring this out.

Thanks WH! That worked like a charm. It had been bugging me ever since iLife 08 was released.
You're welcome. Glad to help. That was definitely anomalous/weird for that to happen. So far, I haven't heard of anyone else that has had that happen to them.
Anyway, glad you got it cleared up.

Problems in iPhoto since trying to upgrade to ilife 11

I see many posts on this and have tried some solutions - increasingly concerned.
I have a 2009 macbook pro and was happily using iphoto 09 (8.1.2). Then a while back I thought I would upgrade to ilife 11 and during the upgrade struck the problem that access to photos/teasers seems to scarily disappear. I've searched all forums and saw to go back to rhe previous app.This worked and photos still appear to be there in 8.1.2.
But now I have a new imac (arrived yesterday) and hope to be able to work out how to move photos into latest iphoto. I've tried migration assistant which is not working for some reason.
I tried to drag my library from a hard drive (formatted from a mac) into new iphoto app (same issue- no teasers).
I have also copied my library from a hard drive time machine back up into my new system Documents file (I have not found Pictures folder yet..) and run through all the repair options when you open iphoto with Command/options even rebuiliding the database.No luck! It says there are 26,000 item (which is correct - taken over approx 10 years) and after all of this the photos improved a little by showing up for a short while and then disappearing (I have seen this in the forums) or being stretched or blurry! But maybe I am missing some database?
Not sure what to do next except transfer previous iphoto app to new imac and keep going with that or create an old and new library with different apps. All photos and iphoto 09 (8.1.2) are still working on older laptop and I have two time machine backups + back ups of original files by title and file name and am considering a third!
Can I transfer original files and reorganise them into folders etc..? Guess I lose my books etc..
Any suggestions.. ? Can it be the photos have the same filenames (I am not a good filer) and this is causing an issue - I have removed all photos that were not opening in previous app and all videos. I've tried to weed out duplicates. It does seem that those taken on ipad or iphone do show up in new iphoto even if others do not.
I will say - I don't spend much time in the forums so did just expect iLife 11 to magically work.. Makes me want to print books immediately as a back up (could be expensive!)
Anyway - appreciate any assistance. kealld

What are "teasers"?
I tried to drag my library from a hard drive (formatted from a mac) into new iphoto app
Never do that. That will import one Library to another and cause a mess you don't want - a really big mess.
To move an iPhoto LIbrary:
Drag it to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and open it. That's all.

Iphoto 6 trying to upgrade to ilife 11

I have been using iLife 06 .I recent upgraded to snow leapord and want to upgrade to iLife 11. Do I need to buy iLife 9 and then iLife 11 ?

No - Just back up your iPhoto library and install iPhoto '11 - it will do the upgrade - after installing it verify that you have all of the latest updates prior to launching it (current version is 9.1.2)

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.

ILife? after upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5!

Hi guys,
I updated my Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.8. Before i remember still having all the iLife products, like iphoto and so on. After upgrading to Leopard, i don't have iLife products anymore. Was wondering if i need to install them again or did i do something wrong which lead it to not install the ilife? Because i have ilife 06 or 08 that came with my macbook when i got it in 07. but i don't remember if i installed it myself or if it was pre-installed.
I know with the new macs now they come pre-installed soo..
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance.

Was wondering if i need to install them again
If you performed an Erase & Install, yes.

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.

Back to my mac failing after upgrade to 10.10

Hey guys,
I upgraded my home iMac and home MBP at the same time to 10.10. All went smoothly. When out of town, my MBP can still see my iMac for Back to my Mac use. I upgraded my work iMac, which has always been able to see my home iMac, to 10.10 a few days later. For the first day, I could see my home iMac. Since then, nothing. Any idea why? I have talked to the IT department and they have assured me that nothing has changed. Any idea what would cause this?
If something has changed on their end, what are the ports and all that jazz that I need to make sure they have open so I can see my home mac?
other notes:
My house is using a Time Capsule as its router, and has the Back To My Mac info in it.

I also had this problem , one Mac book pro and 1 iMac , my Mac Book pro is working fine after upgrade .
however the iMac , (it is also 2013 late ) turn black with Bu~Bu~ sound and cannot access to the desktop
anyone can help ?

Can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 after upgrade to 10.5.1

I can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 anymore after upgrade to 10.5.1.
It used to work great...now this. Sad, sad, sad I am.
I tried the "FIX" of refreshing phone and sync history, but it DID NOT WORK for me. HELP!
Please help, somebody.
Saint Podoreo

I have the exact same issue, but with a standard IMAP account and SMTP. My iPhone can send out, using the EXACT same settings, from the exact same WiFi connection...but the 10.8 MacBook cannot send at all. The only account I can send out on is my iCloud account.
I have also tried all the steps above...no luck.
I have also turned off all network filters and firewalls...no luck. (And as I said above, my iPhone is on the exact same WiFi connection and using the exact same settings, and it can send fine.)
Other messages I've found via Google have suggested simply forcing the SMTP server to use Port 25, but that didn't work for me either.
