Had Mavericks, upgraded to Yosmite 10.10.1, iPhoto won't upgrade.

Had Mavericks running, upgraded to Yosmite 10.10.1,  I own iLife 11, iPage & Numbers & other apps updated/crossed over but my iphoto 9.6 has attempted to 'upgrade' my iphoto database for 8 hrs. Running OS 10.10.1, & have used the iphoto 1.1 fix. Still no good. macbook pro dual 2010. here's a screenshot. Shows 2 iPhoto library files? also app not responding.

Force Quit and try again.
If that fails:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • IPhoto won't open with new mavericks on mac!

    Hi! I just downloaded mavericks for my mac and now my iphoto won't open! Do I have to download a new version and will all my old pictures still be there? Thanks! I'm really freaking out about it!I

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

  • I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks.  After doing so, I noticed that my MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with the calendar/contacts/notes, thus, also not sync these info with my iPhone4s anymore.  Please help, thank you.

    Dear Sirs,
    I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks.  After doing so, I noticed the following changes:
    1) My MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes.
    2) My iPhone4s does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes anymore.
    Please help, thank you.

    Correct, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
    icloud still works.
    Cant help with the Outlook problem.

  • My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion.  Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download.  The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.

    My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion.  Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download.  The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.  My app store ID is fine.  What do I do?

    Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

  • A Free Mavericks Upgrade!!!  I had to pay for mine.

    What a surprise, I awoke this morning to an offer from Apple of a free upgrade to Mavericks.  I purchased my copy of the Mavericks installer 4 months ago and now find it is being offered free?  Will Apple refund my money?  I dont think so, or is there a new OS waiting in the wings?

    As the others have said, Mavericks upgrades have always been free.
    I can offer two guesses as to why you were charged:
    1.  You said: "I purchased my copy of the Mavericks installer ..."  I wonder if you bought a standalone installer from some third party.  You did not have to do that.
    2.  You might have started with a system that predated OS X 10.6.8 and had to pay to upgrade to at least that level.

  • Massive Battery Drain After Mavericks Upgrade on 11" 2013 MacBook Air?

    I got my Air about month before Mavericks came out and the battery life was amazing on it. I was easily getting 14-10 hours of life using Chrome and Air Mail App, along with Power Point and MS Word. After the upgrade to Mavericks, it was slow but I started to notice that my battery life during classes was draining so much faster than before and I had not added anything 3rd party software, just the upgrade. I am now down to about 3.5 - 4.5 hours of battery life doing about the same things as before the upgrade. I did a couple of apps and I added (Sims 3 game). However, I have yet to touch it because of the diminished battery life.
    I have included a copy of my Etrecheck, can somone take a look and let me know if you think I need to clean something off?
    I did do the SMC reset and that seemed to to give a little juice (like putting new tire on your car but still not where it was before the Mavericks upgrade) as I am up to about 6 hours of battery life after the SMC reset.
    Please let me know what other information you might need from me that would help and thank you so much!!

    Hi Lex,
    Not sure why but I had a hard time finding all of the related files to get rid of Origin. But I think I finally got them. I just uninstalled Flash and Chrome. I don't like Safari but all well. I suppose I can deal with it it until Apple fixes this battery issue and then maybe I can go back to Chrome. Safari isn't too happy with certain websites, under the Preferences/Security there is an error message that reads "Google Safe Browsing Service Is Not Available. Has not been updated in 8 days."
    Haven't noticed a change in battery since doing all of this so let me know if it will take a couple of days to reset. Or if you see anything else that I can do to help. Thank!

  • Mavericks upgrade from Mountain Lion deletes all user accounts

    This is a lesson for upgrading too early (and too eagerly).
    Today I tried the Mavericks upgrade from Mountain Lion on my 2007 Macbook Pro, after going through all the pre-installation/pre-upgrade checklists.
    I don't think I have gone from a very high to a down low in such a short space of time.  I really wanted to move on from Mountain Lion and when the installer finished the upgrade to Mavericks and re-started my MBP, I was super excited.  When the restart completed and I was presented with the login prompt, I tried entering my user name and password.  First time, it shaked on the password... OK, you'd think that is a typo.  Re-entering the password... same thing.
    You can imagine what ensued.  After entering my password v-e-r-y slowly many times, I started realising that something went very VERY wrong.
    Just for information, I used two different user accounts on my MBP under Mountain Lion.  The one account had administrative priviledges and was only used for installing applications and a few other administrative tasks.  Then I have a second personal account, which does not have administrative priviledges and is the account I use daily for Mail, Safari, iTunes, programming etc.
    None of those accounts worked under Mountain Lion.  Basically, there is no way in.
    I then proceeded to boot with the startup option Cmd + S (command-line access).  Once that was completed, I was in as root and checked the /etc/passwd.  None of the user accounts were there.  I was only able to find two user accounts: root and nobody; and a long list of user account that started with an underscore (I think these are some sort of esoteric user accounts).  So, it appears that the Mavericks upgrade did not accurately bring over the user account information from my Mountail Lion installation.
    Then, I went into the /Users directory and there I could see the home directories for all the users as they were defined under Mountain Lion.  The contents were intact too.
    It seems to me that the Mavericks upgrade from my Mountain Lion forgot to bring over the user accounts but it did preserve the contents of all the users' home directories.
    Unless anyone can spot some sort of user error here (please let me know), I am heading back to Mountain Lion pretty swiftly.  Otherwise, I suspect there is a bug in the Mavericks installer.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    The reason this occurred is a mystery and has not been commonly reported. Consider the following. It may or may not help. You should probably print these instructions before proceeding.
    Boot Single User mode again and do the following:
    (You can skip the first step. It will check your boot volume for errors and correct what it can. If there were errors the installer should not have proceeded, but the possibility exists that directory corruption may have occurred during installation. That seems unlikely to me but could explain what went wrong.)
    In Single User Mode:
    At the :/ root# prompt, type fsck -fy and press Return or Enter. It will take a few moments to complete. If you are concerned that nothing is happening just press the Return key until you see the :/ root# prompt again.
    Once the disk check is complete and the prompt returns, type mount -uw / and press Return / Enter.
    Type launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist and press Enter. If you get an error message you may ignore it.
    Type ls /Users and press Enter. All of the usernames on the computer will be listed, which is helpful if you don’t know or remember what these are.
    Type dscl . passwd /Users/username password while replacing username with one of the users displayed in the previous step and replacing password with the new password of your choice. Press Enter. You will likely get an error message about a file or directory not being found. You may ignore this.
    Type reboot and press Enter.

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

  • Safari quits unexpectedly for one user after Mavericks upgrade

    2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 15" Macbook Pro circa mid-2009
    OS X 10.9.4
    Safari 7.0.5
    After the Mavericks upgrade Safari will always stay open for about 30 seconds before crashing and saying "Safari quit unexpectedly". Furthermore, unless I am looking in the wrong place it is not generating a crash log - I have looked in ~/Library/Logs. I have reset Safari and uninstalled all extensions (had ClickToFlash and Adblock). Using a different account on the same machine Safari runs fine. I have done some googling around but have been unable to resolve this.
    Thanks for any help,

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Can't find the Mavericks upgrade download

    I have a MacBook5,2 Core 2 Duo (4 gb RAM) that's currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I want to download/install the Mavericks upgrade, but the links to Maverick are gone -- they go to the Yosemite download page.
    Is there any way to find/download/install the Mavericks upgrade? Or is it no longer available?
    Would an Apple Store be able to install Mavericks? Or would they also only have access to Yosemite?
    If I really can't get Mavericks, should I upgrade to Yosemite (although I'd hate to do that before I see more feedback on it)? Or should I upgrade to Mountain Lion (I do have that on disk that I got from Apple a few years ago) for now?
    The problem I have with my Macbook is that it's unbelievably slow. A friend suggested Mavericks might help.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I don't think HD space is the problem. I'm not an experienced user, but AFAICT, I have 63 GBs of space left.
    When I bought the Macbook, it had only 2 GBs of RAM. A friend told me that was probably why it was so slow, so I added 2 more GBs. It didn't seem to make much difference. It seems to be a resources issue -- when I open and close apps, I don't think the resources are being freed up. I can only run one or two apps at a time. If I run Firefox with more than 5 or 6 tabs, open, operations slow to a crawl. Chrome is better, but if I have several tabs open, it slows down somewhat. Running Open Office's spreadsheet app at the same time also slows things down.
    Anyway, my friend said that Mavericks was better at handling resources, so I wanted to try it. But it looks like I can't get it.

  • Upgraded to OS X Mavericks. Now I no longer have iPhoto or Microsoft Office.

    I recently had my hard drive replaced and upgraded to OS X Mavericks. Now I no longer have iPhoto or Microsoft Office. Do I have to purchase them again?

    If you have them on a backup of your system you can restore them from there. If your system shipped with Snow Leopard or earlier then you should have an applications DVD that came with it, which would have iPhoto on it. IF your sytem shipped with Lion or later then you can download iPhoto from the Mac App Store from the purchases tab.

  • Permissions issue after Mavericks upgrade

    I have just updated an early 2008 IMac with OSX Mavericks.
    All software running fine, but I noticed occassionally I was getting an authentication prompt on some files, didn't follow, but simply authenticated as and when I need to, I assumed it was when I moved files from my Mac Pro to my Imac.
    Having run the upgrade however, I get an error message to contact the vendor (Battlefront) as my copy of Combat Mission Battle for Normandy has lost its license.
    After the upgrade I had also purchased from the same vendor Combat Mission Fortress Italy. Having downloaded this and gone to run after copying to applications, this software gives me an error message saying unknown developer so I have got no where near installing a license.
    Having contacted the vendor and tried to get a work around, I am now getting the message it is you Mac not our software, despite the fact that all my other software is working fine (and the fact that the Combat Mission Battle for Normandy game worked fine until the upgrade).
    I do feel some sympathy for them, I do think the Mac has some sort of permission issue - I also probably compounded this by deleting a user which I did not recognise called 'wheel' which I suspect now is some form of default permisison.
    Anyone got any ideas, how do I 'reset' the system - I have tried fixing the permissions through disk utility.
    My vendor got me to run a sudo command through Terminal, but I got the message...
    sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
    sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

    Update Saturday Jan 4, 2014
    Before my Mavericks upgrade on my Mac Pro, no problems ever (use my Mac 4-8 hours a day) using my Bose Companion 5 USB connected speakers. I've tried shutting the Mac down and plugging the Bose USB cable into another open USB port = no joy and other combinations. I tested the same Bose Companion 5 USB speakers on two other laptops with NO issues (ouch...they were running Windows 7) I have deleted the two .plist files, did the CMD+OPT+P+R reset, etc... = no change. Looked into Midi Audio Setup and did not see anything in there to change even though I tried a couple of things and no avail (there was no Garageband setting/entry).
    I still get a solid "BEEEEEEEEP" sound every 20+ seconds, when the sounds tries to toggle, by itself, between the Bose USB Audio device and the Internal Speakers.

  • Speaker issue after Mavericks Upgrade

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks on my Mac Pro (mid 2010 ver.)
    Now when I try to listen to Pandora, iTunes, or anything that pushes sound thru the O/S, the sound "jumps" between my Bose 5 companion computer speakers (USB) and the internal Mac Pro speakers.
    Additionally, when I go to Preferences-----Sound, you can literally see the O/S jumping back and forth to these two rows  "Built In   Internal Speakers" and "Bose USB Audio    USB". More specifically, you will hear the music thru the Bose speakers and then about every 20 seconds (sometimes it goes for over a minutes) it will "beeeeeeep" and then jump to the Mac Pro internal speakers.
    I tried deleting the two .plist files as previous mentioned in past threads with no luck. Before I upgraded to Mavericks I never had ANY sound/speaker issues what so ever.
    Any suggestions? Thank you

  • After Mavericks upgrade, apps using iCloud hang

    I had earlier posted in the iWork forum about issues using Pages etc after Mavericks upgrade
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5618268?tstart=90
    However, the problem is more general.   It seems that any app that uses iCloud to store data or documents hangs when trying to reference iCloud.
    Not all iCloud services are broken, just apps storing data and documents.  For example, Safari bookmarks are still syncing fine over iCloud.  I can go to my iPhone and see my current tabs all listed.
    However, any app that references iCloud data storage becomes unresponding.  This includes TextEdit, iWork suite, Pixelmator, and others.
    When I go into the System Preferences, and choose iCloud and look at the  "Documents & Data" it is checked on but clicking "options" lists NO apps in the list of apps that store data in iCloud.   I have turned this back on and off without change.  I have also reinstalled both Pages 4.3 and Pages 5.0.1 and nothing changes here.  I have also reinstalled Mavericks (on top of existing) multiple times without any change in this setting.
    If I go to manage my iCloud account for Documents & Data I can see apps listed (OS X and iOS) and existing documents that are in my iCloud storage, so the iCloud account is active and working and I can "manage" it from my Mac.
    This is a MacPro3,1 and has 10.9 and all updates that have come out since.  It was upgraded from 10.8.4 and that was upgraded (with intermediate 10.8.x) from 10.7.x which had been upgraded from 10.6.x) etc.

    The suggestion by Linc Davis here (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5028839?start=15&tstart=0) fixed the issue for me.

  • Projector connection intermittent after Mavericks upgrade

    After upgrading to Mavericks (from 10.8.5) my 2012 Macbook Pro has had problems projecting. I had no problems for 3 years and use my projector for teaching every day. Suddenly the projected image would vibrate up and down and nothing short of restarting my macbook and turning the projector off and on would temporarily fix it. I changed projectors to a new BenQ one and it projects but still cuts out once in a while and I have to trouble shoot for 5 minutes to get the picture back. the projector would search for a computer and not find one. My AVI adapter is new and everything worked perfectly uo til the Mavericks upgrade. Do I have to wait until there is another update or can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Nevermind. After digging around some more in the Support community, I tried restarting my computer. Problem solved. After the mess iCloud made of my iPhone, it didn't occur to me that the fix would be something so simple for my computer.
