How do I get sufficient permissions to upgrade to iPhoto 6

I have just installed iLife 6 as an upgrade from version 5.
On launching iPhoto I get the following Message:
'The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.'
On clicking "upgrade" I get a further message:
'There is problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto library folder.
Then choode File>Get Info.
Make sure you have read and write permissions for the folder then apply this setting to all enclosed items.'
Having completed this I get another message:
'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items'
I have tried this several times with the same results and restarted to see if that would make any difference.
So now I have no access to my library!
Just to be safe I have copied all of the contents of the iPhoto folder off onto and external drive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Disk Utility does not repair permissions in the User directories. You can perform the following on your iPhoto Library folder:
Download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

  • How do I get "Sufficient Permissions" to manage my own images?

    I cannot manage some of my images in Bridge CC. When I attempt to delete, move or rename them I get the message: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions." It's my computer. I'm the only user. How do I get "sufficient permissions?" Some of these images were transferred from my old Windows XP computer to my new Windows 7 computer. Could that have something to do with it?

  • After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • How can I get rid of app upgrades, when I no longer have the app?

    How can I get rid of app upgrades , when I no longer have those particular apps?

    If the app is no longer installed on the iPad then you should get prompts about updates to it in the App Store app - as efectively there is nothing for it to update. If you are being prompted to download updates to them then are you sure that they are no longer on the iPad ?
    If you are being prompted on your computer's iTunes then if you delete them for the App part of you computer's Library then you shouldn't be prompted about them.

    Thanks So much for your response, ok then I guess what I ment to ask is , How do I get Root permissions and access to all my cumputer files. When using the Terminal it only allow me to go back so far to view my user folder but not the root folders?
    If you have admin access in your account, then in Terminal, you can go to the file root with
    cd   /  <enter>
    and then go from there.  (The single forward slash is the shorthand for the filesystem mount point.)  You should be able to a number of things otherwise blocked by using the sudo command before the normal Unix command, as in, for instance,
    sudo   touch   /System/Library/Extensions  <enter>
    which is a command which changes the modification date to the current time on the Extensions folder.  When using sudo, you will be asked for your password, and after successful authentication, the command will execute.

    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac.  If it says iMac G5, you are at the max you can go. If it says iMac Intel CoreDuo and has at least 1 GB of RAM, you can go up to 10.6.8 with stedman's link, but the static version of that link is:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A If it says iMac Intel Core2Duo and has at least 2 GB of RAM you can go up to 10.7, but need to get the above DVD, and upgrade to 10.6.6 or later to get the App Store, and then finally download 10.7.  A USB flash drive version of 10.7 should be out later this month, and it is unknown if it will allow you to skip 10.6 or not.

  • How can I get iMovie 10 to see my iPhoto Library after I relocated it.

    How can I get iMovie 10 to see my iPhoto Library after I relocated it. I moved my iPhoto Library to a secondary hard drive, because my main SSD wasn't large enough. I then upgraded to IMove 10.0.4 and also moved my iMovie Library to the secondary hard drive. When I highlight the iPhoto Library in iMovie there is nothing there. Any ideas on how to get iMove to find my relocated iPhoto Library?

    I think I may have solved my own problem. I left cliked on the relocated iPhoto Library and went to "Open with >." I then went to "Other...." I then set the wind located in the bottom labled "Enable:" to "All Applications" and picked iMovie. It gave me a error, but the ultimate result was that iMove now was linked to my iPhoto Library.

  • How can I get all options under edit in iPhoto to appear and revert in red, the only option it gives me is to select multiple

    how can I get all options under edit in iPhoto on my phone to appear it has revert in red on theleft side & done on the right side, the only choice it gives me is select multiple

    The usual cause of that issue is a corrupted or missing font that Firefox replaces by another, in this case a bold, font.
    As a test you can try to disable the default font and choose a few different fonts (Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman) to see if you can identify the culprit.<br />
    you will have to reinstall that corrupted font.

  • How do you get Photos to recognize the "old" iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

    How do you get Photos to recognize the “old” iPhoto Library on an external drive without it copying it to the internal drive on the computer which is low in HD space?

    Launch Photos while holding down the alt/options key.
    This will show the Library Chooser panel. Select the library on the external drive. Photos will create a Photos Library on the same drive.
    Photos may not be able to open the library, however, if your external drive has an incompatible file system. It needs to be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and locally mounted, not a remotely mounted volume, as described here:  Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

  • How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

    How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

    Hello MWWWB,
    Unlike iPhoto, Photoshop is only an editor. It does not store or organize images. In iPhoto preferences, you can choose Photoshop as an editor. You will then get a choice when you double click on an iPhoto thumbnail to use iPhoto or Photoshop to make edits. But Photoshop does not have a library to store images like iPhoto.
    You may want to use Adobe Bridge or Lightroom to help name and organize your pictures. You can Export your iPhoto Library to a folder and manage the exported images there.
    Personally, I hate the arcane manner iPhoto stores and organizes images. I use it only for photos from my iPhone.

  • How do I get my lost photos back from iPhoto 11

    How do I get my lost photos back for iPhoto 11

    With that amount of information the only possible solution anyone can recommend is to restore from your back up.
    Other than that:
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.
