HT1577 I am trying to upgrade iPhoto to v9.4.2(4+) and the message says library needs to be upgraded and its just stuck there for 6 hours

I am trying to upgrade iphoto to v9.4.2(4+) and it has frozen trying to upgrade my large photo library

hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HT1539 I've burnt a digital copy of 3 blu ray dvds onto my iTunes, but i cant sync them to my iPad-an error message says device needs to be authorized, but its only authorised to this computer, i've never tried to use it on any other! Can anyone help?!

    Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
    To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
    So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be

  • Upgrade to Snow Leopard and the software says I need 5GB just to install?

    I have a MAC OSX 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I only have 2 GB of memory and the software says I need 5GB just to install. Do I really need that much more memory?

    Apple recommends 2GB of RAM as an installation prerequisite for Maverick. At least half of this available memory will be consumed by Maverick while it is running. The remainder will not support very many concurrent applications, or open browser tabs, before exhausting available memory. The consequence is that your Mac will run slower than it should with Mavericks.
    You be the judge. That early 2008 MBP can only expand to 6GB. I know, had one.

  • IPhoto Keeps Saying "Library needs to be upgraded".

    So I've upgraded to iPhoto 9.2. Everytime I launch the app, I get a message saying I need to update my library. I agree to do so and all is good - the app launches. However, everytime I re-open iPhoto, I get this message. Any ideas why?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.

  • I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I  am using windows 7 professional install disc. I  can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

  • Upgraded to iPhoto 11 yesterday. on start it says library needs to be upgraded to this version. when upgrade is clicked says cannot upgrade and quits entirely

    iPhoto 11 starts by requiring upgrade of library but upgrade fails and iPhoto quits. Why why why?

    Because something's broken broken broken.

  • Trying to update iPhone to 6.1 and the message says to first transfer my purchased itunes to the computer. how do I do that?

    trying to update iPhone operating system on our Mac. I think iPhone is on 4.2 or so. Verizon store mgr tried and said he could not do it on his limited computer. He said to update using iTunes at home. I keep getting an error msg box. The update cannot be completed. At beginning of process, we get a box that instructs us to transfer iTunes purchases to computer before doing the update. Not sure how to transfer. Any guidance?

  • HT4623 Trying to update my iphone and the message says i must be connected to Wi-Fi...why? I am unable to update.

    Why do I have to use a wi-fi connection to update my phone?

    Because the upgrade download exceeds the maximum file size allowed under cellular.  You either need to be on a wifi network, or connect your iPhone to your computer and upgrade throught iTunes.

    Hi Guys
    No good news I'm afraid. I have been through ALL the system caches and files that were updated at the time of said issue. Reset - rebuild and even gone back to my TimeMachine copy from earlier this AM. Nothing! Can only assume it is something deeper in the /usr or var or private folders.....
    I have cloned the system and core files (/usr, /private) etc etc to an external HD and it still recreates the fault. I am afraid to say I have no more time at the minute to look at so have put my machine back to 2 hours prior via my TimeCapsule.
    I the absense of anyone else or, indeed, Apple fixing in the next 12 hours, will get back onto it from the cloned copy I have kept and see if I can find the offending file/files...
    Sorry I don't have an immedaite solution.
