How can I get iPhoto to work with Lion? It comes up with an error about not working with this version of MAC os.omes up with an error

Iphoto was working fine until I downloaded and installed LION. Now I get  a problem message to check that iphoto is compatible with this version of MAC OS X.
I always download software updates.

Have put iphoto into trash and tried to re-install it from cd, but although it is there on the list when I try to install, it is not in bold and does not permit me to tick it.
I have been to the app store and it tells me that iphoto is on my computer.

  • How can i get iPhoto to work? It locks up after I launch it every time single time.t

    iPhoto has gone nuts!! it will not work and keeps locking up. Open the program and within a few seconds i get the spinning wheel of death. i have tried the basic fixes, the ones you get with you hold down command and options at launch, like rebuild library ect.
    What can i do?? I have several thousand photos here and i do have a time machine backup.

    Correct, the plists don't work in Mavericks the way they used to. Good news is, we've isolated it to that specific library. You said you already went through the rebuilds, lets try to do them again, but one at a time in a specific order.
    1) Repair Permissions
    2) Repair Database
    3) Rebuild Database
    If that still doesn't work, try running these steps from TS4040:
    1) Run Software Update and install all updates (including the OS X Lion v10.7.4 Update, or later) until it reports "Your Software is Up To Date."
    2) Open the Get Info inspector for the account's Home folder:
    In Finder, select Go > Home or press Shift Command H (⇧⌘H).
    In Finder, select File > Get Info or press Command I (⌘I).
    3) If needed, click the disclosure triangle to expand the "Sharing & Permissions:" section of the Get Info window.
    4) If needed, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the Get Info window.
    When prompted, enter an admin user name and password, then click OK.
    5) From the Action menu (the cogwheel) at the bottom of the Get Info window, choose "Apply to enclosed items…"
    6) Click OK in the confirmation sheet.
    7) Wait for the process to complete.
    If we're not able to access the library afterwards, I have a solution that should work, but would remove any albums, books, etc... etc... etc... that you had created in iPhoto and leave you with just your photos and events, so I'm trying to avoid that as much as possible. Let me know what happens.

  • How can I get Iphoto back working?

    updates messed up my iphoto. I guess that is what happened as I didn't do anything to cause it. It happened right after I did an update around the middle of May this year. It just keeps crashing. I think I have iphoto 08 and version 8.1.2. I have tried reinstalling the bundle package on disc that came with the imac but still crashes. What is the solution? I have read many forums and browsed the internet trying to find some kind of solution. I have even thought of buying the Ilife disc on Ebay for that version. Please I have spent way to much time.  I brought this imac in 2009 I don't have an ilife disc just the bundle package disc that came with the imac. It didn't seem to work when I reinstalled it. Please advise. This imac is my first one. These are harder to troubleshoot then the PCs. Thanks for any help you can give.

  • How can I get iphoto to work again in my main admin account?

    iphoto does not work in my main account. it works in other accounts but it just hangs when launched on my admin account. I have tried rebuild and deleted com.apple.iphoto.plist still no luck. it is iphoto 11
    thanks

    Do not import one iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - the correct thing is to drag a working iPhoto library to the pictures folder (default location) and launch iPhoto - it will open and convert the library as needed
    Not sure what your comment about dragging an iPhoto library on means but if  you dragged it onto the iPhoto icon or the iphoto window you are importing and will have to let it finish and then start over
    As noted back please post back for more information

  • 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/

  • Can't get iphoto to work after tampering with library in Finder

    I think I made a big mistake when I tampered with the iphoto library in Pictures in Finder.
    Now I can't get iphoto to work. All the pictures are gone in iphoto, the spaces are there but they are blank.
    When I open iphoto it goes into the mode (little spinning wheel appears) where I have to "force quit".
    Any supggestions on what I can do? Thanks.

    The list that shows is just data files and such.
    You can burn the entire iPhoto Library folder.
    You can burn each Year folder or any other variation.
    This is my workflow. The reason I do it the way I describe is because I want a backup of just the photos and video clips I take so I can copy them to a partition of my external drive and burn them to disc. On the other partition I backup my entire users folder
    When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
    My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
    This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
    The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
    Here is info on backing up your photos:
    Backing up your iPhoto Library
    1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
    This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
    insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
    The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
    Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
    Double click the folder to open it.
    Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
    You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
    Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
    If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
    You can also check out applications for disc spanning:
    Disc-spanning software
    DropDMG
    Toast
    Dragon Burn 4
    BackityMac
    Retrospect Express-comes with some external drives
    Retrospect for Macintosh Desktop Edition
    2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
    3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
    4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
    This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
    If you just want to backup the images in your library:
    1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
    Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
    1.. If you backed up the entire iPhoto Library by burning within iPhoto or burning the folder in the Finder, make sure the burned copy is a good working copy before you delete the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. You delete the iPhoto Library in the finder by dragging it to the trash when iPhoto is closed. When you next launch iPhoto it will create a new empty library for you to start anew.
    2. If you burned just the images, be aware that that is all you are archiving. No metadata will travel with the images such as comments, keywords, etc.
    You can then delete those images within iPhoto by highlighting them and hitting the delete key, then empty iPhoto's trash. Do this often and in groups so iPhoto will not choke on too many images.

    I have a question. For the past week I have not been able to access my iTunes app it always kicks me out. I've turned it off and on and still nothing. I was wondering how can I get it to work or what should I do. Thank you

    You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
    Try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can i get hotmail to work in mail?

    So in hotmail it finally lets me select if I use POP to download Hotmail messages to another program, that program could make it so I can't read my messages on Hotmail. (For example, this might happen if you use Mac Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird).
    I have the "Do what my other program says-if it says to delete messages, then delete them." box selected.
    however my mail on my it mac says
    "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “[email protected] ” or try again. The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop” on port 110 timed out."
    yet it works on my itouch with mail and hotmail. what is going on? how can i get mail to work with hotmail on my mac?

    By doing a Google search for their phone number and their support website.

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)

  • 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.
