How do I convert circa 2005 iPhoto files to iPhoto 11?

I saved my early iPhoto files to DVDs for archiving,  I now use Time Machine, but I did not have it then.  I can no longer open those files nor can I import them into iPhoto 11.  Is there a way to make those file compatible with iPhoto 11 so that I can open them and add them to my current photo library?

If you are referring to getting an older iPhoto library to open in iPhoto 11 you'll need this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1523
It will prepare the older library to be upgeraded to iPhoto 11.
It installs into the Utilities folder. Run it from there.
I hope this helped

  • How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) I made into an mp3 file on itunes?

    How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) that I made into an mp3 file on iTunes? I want to put it on a CD, but I can't figure out how to convert it. I didn't buy it, I made it by converting a YouTube video into an mp3 (I wanted to get the little song in the video for a ringtone.) I'm not sure what to do. 

    Hello ed2345,
    Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
    It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
    I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
    These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
    After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
    As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
    That's how the .m4p file looks like
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
    And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
    Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
    Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

  • How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

    How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

    There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
    You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
    If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

  • How do I convert a photo booth file to an AVI or MP4?

    How do I convert a photo booth file to an AVI or MP4?
    I tried exporting the file from Quick Time to my desktop, but the file extension reads as .m4v - is that compatible with other pc?

    The M4V format is a video file format developed by Apple and is very close to the MP4 format. The differences are the optional Apple's DRM copyright protection, and the treatment of AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio which is not standardized for the MP4 container.
    If your M4V video is not unprotected M4V files and without AC3 audio. It may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ".m4v" to "mp4".
    So you can try to change the file extension and check if it works. If it doesn't work, try Leawo video converter(for windows or mac) and convert m4v to mp4 format.

  • How do I convert a web based file to a PDF file?

    How do I convert a web based file to a PDF file? I know that you "Print to File" but for some reason that is not working for me.  I have Adobe Reader X, shouldn't that be able to create a PDF like this, or is there another program that I need to do this?  Thanks.

    Hi, gfrerichs.
    Reader X cannot create a PDF file - it can only view and print existing PDF files.
    In order to create a PDF file (for example, print a webpage as a PDF, as you mentioned), you can purchase our CreatePDF service. This service includes a CreatePDF Printer which can print web pages to PDF.
    Or you could purchase Acrobat, which can also convert webpages to PDF.
