How to fix iPhoto on Mini 10.8.5 with damaged or incomplete error.

I have a Mini 10.8.5 with preinstalled apps. I installed iLife '11 for the use of the iDVD program. Now the IPhoto won't open, and I am left with an error that iPhoto application is damaged or incomplete. Please help! I have read posts that suggest re-installing disk that came with the computer, however, there is no installation disk for Mac Mini.

You may have to reinstall iPhoto 9 with the iLife 11 disk as a custom install and update to the latest iPhoto version as follows:
update to iPhoto 9.3
update to iPhoto 9.3.2
update to iPhoto 9.4
and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3

hello do you no how to fix my iphone it is not charging with my laptop

Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.

Firstly, check the software update to see if it is up to date. If so, just reinstall it. You won't lose your data as long as you DON'T delete the corrupt version.

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

You're welcome.
But, no, don't look to Epson for fixes to their driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in. Hoping for a solution there is futile. That has not happened and it's never going to happen. The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan. Honestly.
Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever. When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software. If you think about it, its most inefficient.
VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist. VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue. Sorry.

Iphoto will not open up says its damaged or incomplete??

iphoto will not open says its damaged or incomplete?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what exact message do you get when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

how do i fix my iphoto i cant open it as it says it maybe damaged or incomplete.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

Iphoto won't open because it is damaged or incomplete?

I recently got a new hard drive for my MacBook Pro and had to reinstall all of my programs. So far I haven't had any problems except with my iPhoto. When I click the application to open it, a small gray box pops up and says "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." I'm really hoping there's a way to fix it without having to delete the app and repurchase it. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

It does not require repurchasing.

How to fix iphoto library?

I just discovered that my library is missing all photos since approximately October 15th. When I add photos to the library, they show up in "last import" but they are not in any of the other views, e.g. "Last 12 Months".
I've searched other Help threads, but haven't seen this problem.
What steps should I take to recover my photos and fix my library?
Thanks!

I'll bet that's it! my camera has been prompting me to set the time and date lately and I've been avoiding it. I'll fix that.
Now, how do I get back my pictures?
edit: ...okay I see my pics are indeed sorted by a Jan. 1980 date.
And I've just batch-changed the time & date.
Thanks for the answer!!!!

How i fixed my mac mini dvi problems

Hi,
I bought an 200W6 20inch tft philips screen on saturday. When i connected it to my mini i noticed that i wouldn't return to an on state after the monitor stanby, also it took very long to recognise my tft after boot( like 5 mins or so) then when i ran the flurry screen saver everything looked fine but after 30 sec. there was snow and all sort of distortion. So clearly my monitor didn't work well with the mac mini.
After reading the topics here i was shocked to see that so many people have problems with there displays, and there is no real solution.
I tried to run the ati firmware update, and after that all my problems are gone. My monitor show the apple image right away, and the screensaver doesn't crash or disort I'm very happy now, i hope the firmware update can help you guys aswell. Try it out...

How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

Help I cannot get on to itunes. It comes up with the message that msvcr80.dll is missing. But i need very straight forward instruction s how to fix this as I am not good with computers.

Help I can no longer access my I tunes from my computer. It comes up with the message MSVCR80.dll is missing. Can anyone give me very simple instructions as to how i can fix this. I am not very computer literate.

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

How to remove iPhoto auto open when device connects with USB?

Hi
When I connect any device using USB cable (mobile,tablet) on my Mac PC , iPhoto starts up and hangs my system for sometime ...
Thank You.

Hello there wasylultra,
It sounds like your computer is becoming unresponsive whenever you plug in any USB device that has or takes photos, because iPhoto launches automatically and takes a while to open. You can change this preference in iPhoto itself to open either iPhoto, Image Capture, or no application at all when you connect a device:
iPhoto '11: Change what happens when you connect a camera to your computer
To choose the application that opens:
Make sure no cameras are connected to your computer.
Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click General.
Choose an option from the “Connecting camera opens” pop-up menu.
The title of the article mentions iPhoto '11 but the same steps hold true for iPhoto 2013.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
