Hi! this Misspreppie, my current version is iPhoto "11 v. 9.13 2002-11

Question

Hi!  from misspreppie: someone was helping with my iPhoto which was in mode READ-   Sorry, I did not reply sooner but I walk away from my computer and from home for 2 days, I was very stress out about iPhoto.  Here is a reply to the last email: My current version is iPhoto "11 v. 9.13 2002-11
The first thing I recommend is backup your mac. Are you using time machine if so run a backup. No, I do not have time machine.
Have you recently upgraded to iLife 11? YES, 2 months ago.  Run software update from the Apple menu please to get everything up-to-date. I did, my updates are automatic.  If there are updates, apply those especially if iPhoto related then run software update again until your mac indicates that there are no more updates. The reason I ask is because the message you so kindly left appears to indicate this and the otherwise old library needs to be updated for use with a later version of iPhoto. The second message though appears to suggest that an older version of iPhoto has been installed and that older version found a library to new to work with. My first iphoto library is older, I created another library a year ago to Library 2. Please let me know. Can I delete the first older iPhoto library? and create a iPhoto library copy 2? Well later I will buy an external drive that way i will use time machine.
Your photos on your iPhone which is great. I know this can be frustrating and confusing when things don't work as expected but I will be here to help you. I know I still have the photos I took from my iPhone 4 but I cannot connect my iPhone to my computer till i fix all my pictures.  I sill want to klnow why my current library
Can I ask you to perform a short test please? There may be a secondary underlying issue that I need to account for.
1) Quit iPhoto if open
2) hold the alt (option) key on your keyboard, with the key held down continuously, click the iPhoto icon until you get a window with the message "What photo library do you want iPhoto to use?" I was tired and i created a new library, I transfer library 2 and it works.
3) You can let go of the alt key now
4) Click Create New
I did all of the above the first time I join the group, and created a new library and deleted and then created another one which is final.
5) Name it test and save please. Yes, Tell me how to save? Please
6) Does iPhoto remain open but you see a blank library (no photos?)***
***Don't worry this is a new library to test if iPhoto is working.
Please report back on the status of a backup, the status of software update and the test iPhoto Library and whether iPhoto opens and remains open. It's a new library and it works, but most of my photos from iPhoto 11 are there, but I got double events or photos.  QUESTION: How do I delete the double pictures?  I'm getting tired to do it manually.  I think the first time I created a iPhoto library 2, I click double.  (2 years ago)
Please go to the iPhoto menu (top left of screen next to the Apple menu) for me and click About iPhoto and indicate in your reply the version of iPhoto in use.  iPhoto 11 version 9.13 (607) copyright 2002-2011
Please tell me which of the enclosed I should delete
I want to delete the first iPhoto Library and keep Library 2 and save it. and keep it on applications
iPhoto library_2 alias
iPhoto library_2 dmg
iPhotoipsot
iPhotolock2.data
iPhotolock2.data though iPhoto12.data
iPhotolock.data
iPhotolock.data zip
iPhotomain.db
I know I have to keep few,  but i must delete the first version.
I will check back shortly for an answer.
Thanks for being so patient.  I appreciate your help with my iPhoto library.   PLEASE Tell me how to delete the double pictures on my new iPhoto library 2

Until your project is finished, you can ONLY work on it using your laptop.  Don't try to work on it using a different machine.
Unless you RENT CS6 -- that is, you didn't purchase it, but pay a monthly fee to use it -- you won't have acess to 13.0.2.
This isn't a simple update -- this is installing a new VERSION of the software, and beginning with version 12, the software is rented.
So get your project done on your own machine, then worry about whether or not you should incur a monthly expense to have the latest version of AE.  Don't change horses in mid-stream!
Now, there IS a way to work on both your laptop and that other machine, but it is downright messy!  It also involves having access to AE Creative Cloud (aka Version 12) on that machine -- so until you can confirm that fact, I'm not even going to describe the messy process.
I stick to my original advice -- keep the project on the laptop unless you enjoy missing deadlines.  Or due dates.
