How do I upgrade my 667 iPhoto 2.0.1 library copy which is sitting in a folder on my MacBook Pro desktop which has iPhoto 11 installed?
I first copied my 667 titanium (inactive laptop) iphoto library (iphoto 2.0.1) to an external hard drive. Then I copied that folder which I had renamed "Pictures from 667" to the desktop of my 2009 Macbook Pro running iPhoto 11, running 9.4.3.
I downloaded "Iphoto Library Upgrader 1.0" and opened it from my Utilities scroll and this opened but it listed the library location as /Users/petronplus/pictures/iphoto library. So...Iclicked "Choose Library" and made my way to what you see in this screenshot: my Iphoto library from 667
I clicked on it and the Library Upgrader then listed it as what you see. It no longer lists my current iphoto11 library
However, when I click on continue I get this window with the launch button blicking blue
When I click "Launch iPhoto", the Iphoto Icon on the docks bouces a couple of times and the following window opens:
I then click on "learn more" and it brings me to this webpage:
So, I click on "here" and back to the "Iphoto Library Updater 1.0" download page I go.
This just becomes a dog chasing its tail with the same outcome each time: a deadend.
Lastly, I want to just say quit and it tells my I cannot open my Iphoto 11 library because it has to be Updated. I guess that is because I changed from my current library to the 667 one located in the folder on my desktop.
Hopefully, if I go back to my Home, click on pictures, then click library I will revert to normal.
Yes! thank goodness, I have my current library back.
So what do I do to convert the library from my 667 sitting in a folder on my desktop. This approach did not work.
I can still get on the web on my 667...Do I try to download the "iPhoto Library Updater 1.0" to my 667 and upgrade from its iPhoto 2.0.1?
Thank you. I have tried to be as detailed & clear as possible given how often this same kind of problem has been genericly posed before in this group.
Thanks, David
Hi again Terence
I have renamed and moved the old 667 library (iPhoto 2.0.1) into my pictures Folder in my home.
Then I launched Updater and this screen came up and it already had the Iphoto Library 667 as the target to upgrade.
So I clicked continue and got this question window: Your library can now be upgraded by the current version of iPhoto. Do you want to launch iPhoto?
Unfortunately the iPhoto icon starts bounciongand a window comes up which says: To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared...so go get the Upgrader from Apple
On & on in circles it goes.
If I close iPhoto and click on the iPhoto 11-9.4.3 Iphoto Library, which thank goodness still opens with all its info intact and then open the Updater I get a window which informs me that: iPhoto is already running. Only one copy can be running at a time.
So I am forced to shut down iPhoto and Catch 22 continues.
I am trying. Is there anything you can detect that I am doing just plain wrong. Thanks for your patience.
Best, David

Have reformatted MacBook pro. Where has iPhoto gone?
I recently formatted my MB Pro and noticed I no longer have iPhoto despite it being installed on the laptop when I purchased it.
How do I get iPhoto back? Is it on the second CD (applications disc)? If so, what other apps or on the disc?That's what I thought but Photobooth, Front Row etc were on the laptop after formatting and reinstallation of the OS.
Those are core OS components.
Can anyone tell me exactly what apps are on the app CD?
iLife, and maybe the iWork trial. If you customized your Mac with additional software, that may be found on it as well.

I just upgrade to Maverick on my 2 year old MacBook Pro and it has slowed down the computer terribly. All I see every time I do anything is that crazy circle going round and round. I don't recommend you upgrading. How do I get rid of it. I believe it forces you to buy a new macbook!!!!
It does not. First things first have you tried restarting?
Try restting PRAM

I have bought a Macbook Pro Retina, and the iPhoto which comes with it, has a different iPhoto Book menu. I cannot see how to put text at the bottom of the pages of photographs, instead of the default place in the middle. Is there a way to do this?
There are different templates for iPhoto books and they differ from version of iPhoto to iPhoto, so explore the other options.

I bought my macbook pro in march 2007. I am currently running osx 10.6.8, but want to upgrade to lion or mtn lion. Apple website says i need a mid 2007 or later macbook pro, how do I tell if my Macbook pro will support this upgrade?
The Mid-2007 model didn't come out until June 2007, so you must have bought an earlier model. It won't run Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x), but it might run Lion (10.7.x) if you can get hold of a copy, depending on which earlier model it is.
Lion requires at least a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The first MacBook Pros came out in January 2006, but they had "Core Duo" processors (no "2"). The Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros came out in October 2006. You could have bought either in March 2007. -
I just ran my updates for my MacBook Pro and now my iphoto won't open. I get a pop up that say's You can't use this version of the applicaton IPhoto with this version of os x. You have iphoto 9.2.3.
This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1.

My MacBook Pro came with Lion pre-installed so I can't re-download it from the app store. Is it possible to get the installESD.dmg file and how can I get it if I can't re-download Lion in Apple Store option?
FYI Mac OS X is not designed to be installed on additional Macs, unless you purchased it from the App Store, in which case you can make as many copies as you wish and install it on as many Macs as you own.
From the Recovery Disk Assistant -
Notes
If the computer shipped with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, the external recovery drive may only be used with the system that created it.
If the system was upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion purchased from the App Store, the external recovery drive can be used with other similarly-upgraded systems. -

I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
Thank youAssuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product. You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store. -

If you bought the MBP new 3 weeks ago, it should have come with Mountain Lion already installed. Did you update your MBP to the newly released 10.8.4 update? If not, what OS were you running before the upgrade, and what version of Mountain Lion do you have now? -
