How can I get iPhoto '06 to quit? It refuses to quit.

You know that loud, wind instrument sound that plays that means, "Don't touch that button again because nothing will happen if you do"? Ever since late last night my iPhoto '06 has been scaring me off my last nerve with that sound.
FIRST, it hid in the Dock, way far to the left (which is where I keep my Dock), barely showing its right edge, inaccessible as any of Mike Hammer's cool blondes. After switching my Dock to the bottom I was able to tweeze iPhoto out by grabbing on to a hair of that right edge and coaxing it back onto the desktop.
THEN, I could not quit iPhoto. Clicking onto any of those three buttons at top left yields that haunting wind instrument sound. Neither could I quit iPHoto by going to File > Quit.
THEN, I turned my iMac off, hoping that doing so would put iPhoto '06 away. I was wrong. So I let my Mac stay on through the night. "Let" is deceptive, too, since my Mac would not shut off with iPhoto still opened up.
NOW it is morning and iPhoto is exhibiting the same recalcitrance: It will not let me quit it.
I have been working hard on my iWeb website and hate to think that my brand new iPhoto '06, purchased in July, '06 as part of the iLife '06 package, has gone south and taken my iWebsite things.
PLEASE, can someone advise me on this?
Thank you.

Running Disk Utility from your Installer DVD. Insert
your Installer DVD. Once mounted, restart and hold
down the C key to allow the Installer to start up the
system. Select Disk Utility (I believe it's
accessible from the Help Menu).Click on your HD in
the left panel and select "first aid" - repair disk.
If there are errors, rerun the repair function until
you have a clean run.
.......... Lorna says ................................................
I am not so clear on what you said. I do have Disk Utility in my Hard Drive and perhaps two weeks ago I clicked onto it for REPAIR PERMISSIONS. I was told to do that about once a week, so I do.
So you are saying that I should also click onto REPAIR DISK. Well, you know, I never did that ... only did the REPAIR PERMISSIONS. 8-(
*You mentioned an Installer DVD. What Installer DVD? I do not have one, to my knowledge. Do you mean the Tiger DVD that I installed in June or July, '06?
Run a 3rd party Utility such as
OnyX. Automation panel - select repair
permissions, maintenance scripts, full optimization.
Once completed "restart".
.......... Lorna says ................................................
This is the second time that OnyX has come up. I think that I would be wise to get that Onyx. I now have your and Niel's posts printed out so I can refer to the specific instructions.
I think I'll click Repair Disk after I finish the Apple Discussions Forums.
Thank you!
Remember too, the best maintenance step is having a
current bootable backup of your HD.
.......... Lorna says ................................................
I have a LaCie external hard disk. How do I make a current bootable backup of my Hard Drive? Do I just drag my HD icon from my desktop to the LaCie icon? Is it just that simple? I was told that I could just drag icons from my Mac HD to the LaCie hard disk and have duplicates just like that, just that fast and simple. You concur even when it is a duplicate of my Mac Hard Disk/Drive?

How can I get iPhoto on my Mac to recognize my new iPhone 6? (iTunes does recognize it!)

I got one of the new iPhone 6s (the smaller version) and it's been working great. I was able to restore an old backup from my 4S and transferred everything over. iTunes recognizes the new phone and I've had no problems bringing files within apps on the phone to the computer like before. HOWEVER, iPhoto doesn't even recognize the phone so I can't import new photos off the phone. How can I get iPhoto to recognize it? I tried searching for the phone as a drive via iPhoto and that didn't work either.

So says my computer. Honestly, I'm not tech-wavy in the least so I just take its word for things.

How can i get iphoto 9?

I am running OSX 10.5.8 and I have iphoto 7.1.5 I just spent many hours creating a calendar. When I went to purchase it, I got an error message stating that apple doesn't support calendar purchases in iphoto 7 any longer, and I need to upgrade to iphoto 9 at the mac app store. Since I am not running mavericks or yosemite I don't have the mac app store, so how can I get iphoto 9, and will it even work with 10.5.8?

How can i get iphoto on my IPAD if i already have it on my macbook pro

how can i get iphoto on my IPAD if i already have it on my macbook pro?

See this page, if your iPad qualifies for a free download: Free Apple apps for iOS 7 compatible devices
iPhoto on the iPad and iPhoto on the Mac are completely different programs. The Mac version cannot run on the iPad, because the operating systems and the processors are different. Don't expect, that iPhoto on the iPad will be able to do the same things as your iPhoto for Mac, pr that you can keep the two iPhoto libraries in sync.
Se this help page for a description, what iPhoto on the iPad can do: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/

How can i get iPhoto back?? I accidentally deleted it!! :(

How can I get iPhoto to see the edited iPhone 4s photo?

I have a new iPhone 4s. I take a picture. I edit it and save it to the iPhone. Then, I sync my phone with my Mac, open iPhoto. Only the original photos appear, not the one I edited and saved. Yet, if I e-mail the photo to myself, I can see the edited version. So, how do I get iPhoto to see the edited version.

8 MP is the resolution of the camera sensor. Images are compressed when stored so quite a bit smaller. The compression ratio depends on the level of detail in the image.

Photos *****. How can I get iPhoto back

Photos lacks many of the features of iPhoto that I used all the time. How can I get it back?

It didn't go away. Look in your Applications folder.
If you didn't update it to the Yosemite version, see this tip: Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS X 10.10.3

I delete iphoto incident . how can i get iPhoto back?

i want iphoto back
how can i get this ?

How did you delete it? (not a silly question)
If all you've done is removed the icon from the Dock, go to the Applications folder, find iPhoto and drag it's icon to the Dock, being careful not to release the mouse until the other icons in there move out of the way for it. (if you release too early, you'll leave the application on the Desktop and will have to drag it back to Applications and try again.)
The icons in the Dock are only aliases, so can be replaced easily.
If on the other hand you've somehow deleted it from the Applications folder, there are two possibilities -
If the trash hasn't been emptied, open it, right click on the iPhoto item and select 'Put Back'.
If the trash has been emptied, you'll need to reinstall it from the software restore disc (disc 2 of the grey discs that came with the Mac), or from the iLife DVD if that's where you installed it from, or if on Lion, I believe you'll need to go the App Store and re-download it (but someone may correct me on that).

How can I get iPhoto onto my mac?

I've had my mac desktop for about a year now. How do I get iPhoto?

If running 10.6.8 or later, buy it from the Mac App Store and download it.

How can I get iPhoto back on my iMac?

My Mac died so I'm now using my brother's old iMac running Mac OS X version 10.5.8.
He didn't give me any disks to do a reinstall so I used a friend's to wipe the data and start new with mine. Unfortunately, I didn't think about all the programs that were on it. Luckily, I had my software disks still for Microsoft suite & Quicken. But, iPhoto isn't on here and now I can only view my massive amounts of photos using preview. Nothing is organized in folders, I can't edit, and generally is making me very sad.
I can't purchase iLife or iPhoto because I'm running an older version of OS X.
I don't can't upgrade to the newest OS X because I'm running too old of a version of OS X.
I can't find anywhere to buy or download from Apple any version of OS X but the newest one.
What gives?
Any suggestions on how to get iPhoto back?

Well, you can purchase and upgrade the OS o Snow Leopard here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard and then run software update to get to 10.6.8 to access the Mac App Store and purchase iLife.
Or you can just go here http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_5?url=search-alias%3Dsoftware&field-key words=ilife&sprefix=Ilife%2Caps%2C183 and purchase iLife

TS5181 How can I get iTunes Radio to QUIT automatically playing?!

When I get out of the car and I'm in one of my playlists (created on a computer, not a genius or anything) and I'm in the middle of a song, my issue is when I get back in the car (it can be 5 minutes or 2 hours), my song doesn't pick up from where I left off. In fact, my playlist isn't even playing -- iTunes Radio is!! I don't want it to do that!! Does anyone know how I can get iTunes Radio to quit automatically playing?? Thank you.

Bumping this.... iTunes Radio in Canada was supposed to come out early this year (2014). It's mid-November and still no sign and no word from Apple... Anyone have any idea if/when we can expect this?

How can I get iPhoto back?

I accidentally deleted iPhoto from my computer a while back (and it's been emptied from my trash since then). I don't have the disks that came with my computer because I lost my mac box while moving. I also don't have it backed up on time machine. Does anyone know how I could reinstall iPhoto? I really need it.
Thank you!

Depending on which version of iPhoto, as part of iLife, your
now missing version was, you may be able to buy an iLife
vintage suitable for use in Leopard 10.5.8 & it should work.
+{But the better deal may be to see what a replacement set+
+of original discs from Apple Sales/AppleCare will cost; if+
+they still are available, direct from Apple.}+
The retail meal deal, on its own install disc. And you may
not have to install All of iLife in order to use the iPhoto;
if there isn't a custom install mode to choose single iApps
(an option in a few cases, where you can choose One item)
you still could get only the iPhoto package to install from a
install disc through use of Pacifist utility, a download that
should work in demo mode for free; to extract just the one
item from the install disc & from the Mac's desktop install it.
(And before you try to start iPhoto the first time, be sure to
run Software Update first and get it updated to the last
version available for it; then it may actually work OK in your
computer. Even if it wasn't the exact version as shipped.)
Somewhere in not too old of Discussion posts, there was
a question asking what version of iLife was best for use
with OS X 10.5 Leopard; if one of the retail versions of
iLife has an iPhoto suitable for your existing OS and files
you may have saved, a retail iLife installer should do.
• iLife: System Requirements (versions: '04, '05, '06, '08, '09)
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27615
There are hardware and other limits as to which iLife would
work in different Macintosh computer configurations over time.
Since your computer specs don't tell me what it really is, I
can't help narrow the field as to which of the newest versions
in the above linked support article may mirror what you had.
Hopefully if you do call AppleCare support/sales to buy a
replacement restore-install DVD for your computer and
supply them with the machine's serial number, you can
get the exact item that has gone missing; and it may be
at a cost lower than someone reselling an old iLife '08/'09.
And you still could use Pacifist to install just iPhoto, if that
iLife installer disc does not allow you to choose one app.
• Pacifist - Charlessoft: shareware app (read page info)
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Hopefully that comes together for you, in any case.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can i get iPhoto back if it was a standard app on purchase?

i had iphoto when i purchased my macbook pro, it became corrupt and i had to delete it, how do i get it back?
some have mentioned via updates and i know i have updated the software but now i cant find anything related to iPhoto in my macbook.
as i didnt purchase the app from the app store i cant reinstall without another purchase.
surly my ID should have an update somewhere where it can varify i used iphoto?
Please Help
Thanks

iLife apps come with your system. If your Mac shipped with any system prior to Lion, it should be on your install disks that shipped with your Mac.
You can use Pacifist to extract and install just that app.
If you lost the disks, that shipped with your Mac call Apple for replacement, give them your serial number and they will send them for a nominal fee.

How can I get iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) to import .mov files?

I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 2 TB SDD running Mavericks that I bought 2 weeks ago.
So far I have imported about 5,000 photo files into iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) plus about 25 videos as .mov files.
But on today's import session, it stopped taking any more MOV's, giving the following error message:
"The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format." and it then it lists the .mov files.
I tried rebuilding the LIbrary index, and have even tried creating a new Library and importing my smalles (12 Mb) .mov file to this new test library.
But I keep getting the same error.
I have the most recent version of all the software (i.e. no new updates are available.)
What else can I do?

I figured out a solution: The drive with the .mov files was a USB drive formatted as NTFS. iPhoto would import .JPG files from this OK, but would refuse to import .MOV files, giving the error noted above.
I found that if I copied the files from the NTFS USB drive to an SD card or to the Macbook Pro's internal SDD, I could get iPhoto to import the .MOV files without any problem.
Why does iPhoto 11 have a problem importing .MOV files from external USB drive formatted as NTFS, but no problem importing the exact same files from an SD-card formatted as FAT-16, or from a folder on the Macbook Pro's internal HD?

How can I get iPhoto to display ONLY file numbers of pictures and not document titles when displayed as thumbnails?

I am a pro photographer and I've never used iPhoto. I use a combination of Adobe's Bridge, Lightroom & Photoshop programmes. I've sent a disk of images to a client and they cannot see the file numbers of the images. Their version of iPhoto only displays the document title that I have embedded in the metadata when importing the images into Bridge.
When I ran a test and imported the same images into my version of iPhoto(7.1.5, since you ask) some of the thumbnails displayed the file number while others displayed the document title. Why does this happen? Can I make it stop? How do I make iPhoto display just the file number in thumbnail mode and not the document title?
When I view the images in Bridge, all I see is the file number but I can't convince the client to use the programme even though they have it. Any help/guidance will be very gratefuly received.
Many thanks,
Adam.

In every version prior to iPhoto 11:
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File...
In iPhoto 11:
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original...
