How do i save my photo library and then reinstall iphoto 11

Hi Everyone
I was having a problem with imovie which kept crashing so (probably unwittingly) decidied to reinstall ilife 11 to see if that would fix the problem - which it didnt but we will ignore that for now.
A resulting consequence of this action was that the iphoto app has a no entry sign over it and comes up with an error message saying 'you cant open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete.
Does anyone know how to fix this???
I have saved my iphoto library to an external hard drive so am now thinking that I should completely delete the iphoto app (and I'm not sure how to do that either) and then reinstall from the iLife 11 disc that I have.
Is this the best way to resolve it as I would hate to loose any photo's, events, and various faces that i have saved etc etc
Cheers

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

Hello, My Iphone is full with photos as it has my Photo library on it, I guess from Syncing it with my computer... How do I remove the photo Library and just keep the photos I take on my phone on my phone? Hope that is clear.... :)

Same way they got on your phone, through the iTunes sync process. With your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Photos" tab, deselect the albums/folders/photos you do not want on your phone. Hit the "Apply/Sync" button & they will be removed from your phone.

IPhoto 5.0.4 has suddenly stopped working. It loads the photo library and then freezes. Rebuilding the library has no effect which has about 3.5MB of data. PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8

Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

HT204655 How to have a unified Photos Library after migrated from iPhoto and Aperture?

The "HT204655: Get started with Photos for OS X" do not help. If you have previously used iPhoto and Aperture, when you "migrate" the iPhoto, then follow the steps to "migrate" the Aperture library, you end up with 5 files in your Pictures folder: Photos Library (from iPhoto), Photos Library 2(from Aperture), iPhoto Library (Not sure if can be deleted or not - of course no), Aperture Library (for some reason blank), Aperture Library 2 (Created by Photos?).
So, looks like a mess and no easy way to make a clean migration.
I've a hope that exists a solution to have a single Photos Library with the merged iPhoto and Aperture contents, like a real migration.
If I export everything (From iPhoto and Aperture) then import in the Photos in a single Library should work, but will lose all the organization, faces, etc...

You could merge libraries with iPhoto Library Manager, but I never tried this for merging Aperture 3 libraries with iPhoto 8.
Are you planning to keep all your photos in iCloud? Then consider to merge them in iCloud, but it will take a long time.
Are you using iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and have enough iCloud storage for the merged library?
Wait, till your current Photos Library has been completely uploaded to iCloud.
Then quit Photos, and launch it again, while holding down the alt/options key. Select the old iPhoto lIbrary.
When the upgrade of the old library has been finished, make this library the System Photos library (in the Photos Preferences > General).
Enable again iCloud Photo Library (Beta) in the Photos > iCloud preferences.
Now Photos will upload the new library to iCloud as well and create a merged library in iCloud. After this merged library synced with your Mac, you will have a merged Photos library.

How can I delete my Aperture library and import into iPhoto?

I have decided that I prefer the simpler interface of iPhoto, and I'd like to move all my photos back to there. I'm aware of the new feature that allows iPhoto to open up Aperture libraries; however, I want to delete the Aperture library and import all the photos into iPhoto. What's the simplest way to accomplish this?

The Library file format is now the same. If you have upgraded to the most current versions, you do not have to do anything to your Library: you can open it with either iPhoto or Aperture. Since you prefer iPhoto, simply open your Library in iPhoto.
As others have suggested, you might as well keep Aperture (the program) around, in case there is an adjustment or other function that you can effect with it that you cannot with iPhoto.

How do I save my iTunes library and reinstall older iTunes?

Hello:
Please see my prior posting at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3875333#3875333
To recap; I have a Dell Dimension 8300 and am operating with Windows XP. I bought my daughter a new iPod Nano for Chistmas, and when we plugged it in, it required us to upgrade to the latest iTunes software. Her old iPod and old iTunes worked fine on this computer. Since upgrading to the new iTunes, it won't let us download new CDs into iTunes, and now it won't even recognize her iPod. iTunes locks up, and my entire computer locks up. I can't get out with Task Manager any more, I can't even turn off my computer. I actually have to unplug it to reset it. I found a website where I can download older versions of iTunes (http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm) but I can't install an older version with the more current version on my computer (it gives me error messages with this info.) (I want to work backwards to maybe find a version of iTunes that will work with the Nano, but not cause all of the problems that I am having.) How do I get rid of the new version of iTunes, so that I can install an older version of iTunes (which worked just fine for years with the old iPod) without losing all of the music I have downloaded into iTunes?
I'm about to go nuts with this thing. How can Apple say that "they do not support iTunes?" The iPod requires iTunes to even be useable! Without iTunes, you can't even put music on the iPod! Have you noticed that most people having problems have upgraded to the new version of iTunes, and are running on Windows XP?
Thank you in advance for any info you are able to provide!
I will be most grateful when someone finally discovers the "Silver Bullet" for this darned thing, or when Apple finally steps up and fixes the mess they have.

Just an update; Please see my prior postings at:

My daughter plugged in her iPod last night just to recharge it. iTunes locked up, my entire computer locked up. I had to disconnect the power to get it to turn off, and now my entire computer remains locked up. I cannot get ANY application to open. I am having to post this from my computer at work, as my home computer is completely unusable at this time. Thanks iPod and iTunes. I'm really glad that I upgraded to the iPod Nano.

Hi, how do I save the photo calendar I created with iPhoto?

Hi, I created a photo calendar using the iPhoto format and would like to save my project to pass on to our printer to print it for me as I urgently need the calendar. Can anyone tell me how to save / download the work I have done?

Before ordering your calendar preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered calendar will match it.
send the PDF to your printer

In iMovie version 10 select your Project in the Libaray and choose Edit>Duplicate Movie to create a copy of your Project. Then make your changes to the copy.
In iMovie verison 9 select your Project and choose File>Duplicate Project.

How can I uninstall Xerox print drivers and then reinstall them again

Somehow I installed the wrong print drivers for our xerox printers running on the latest version of leopard and installing the correct driver doesn't seem to solve the problem. I want to remove all xerox driver files and reinstall the correct version of the driver.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

I can't print from Firefox (on a MacBook) since I tried to instal the new version. How do I uninstall it (all components), and then reinstall?

Can't print from Firefox - it crashes.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

Also can't print from FF 3.6.12, but it doesn't crash. There's no error message, no job gets queued to the printer. Other applications (including Safari) print without a problem.

IPhone Photo Library and Album photos to iPhoto

Hello:
I am trying to import the photos on my iPhone to iPhoto. The photos from my Camera Roll will import, but the 2,000 or so photos I have in Photo Library and in my other Albums will not import. How can I transport my Photo Library and other albums on my iPhone to my Camera Roll? Or, how can I get all of them to upload to iPhoto? My end goal is to get them into iPhoto, but if I can get them in the Camera Roll, then that will work.

At least you have that, although as Allan stated, you can never recover the original full-resolution pics from the iPhone (they were optimized to ~0.6 megapixel images, although that may be higher now with iPhone 4's higher-res display).
Still, an external HDD is what you need. Personally, I have two of them, backed up to each at least weekly, and the two drives are stored in different locations (home and offsite). Every 2 months, I also backup pictures and movies to DVD -DL media and store that in a safe deposit box. Even then, a natural disaster affecting my whole area could theoretically wipe destroy it all - so, likely I'll add Mozy soon...
Overkill? Maybe. But my daughter is only going to grow up once, so I'm not going to risk losing the digital memories of these times...

How can I delete multiple duplicate songs at one time? I would really like to wipe out my music library and just reinstall all files. Any Help is appreciated.

I am trying to cleanout my iTunes Music Library. I would prefer to wipeout the music library and then reinstall my music. I do not know how to delete multiple files besides doing one by one. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You.

Dupin is for Mac. For PC users I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.
