  • Can't open iPhoto after using iPhoto library upgrader

    I used the iPhoto library upgrader today, hoping that I could then use a newer version of iPhoto.  I have iPhoto 6.6 I think.  But now iPhoto won't open, so I can't see any of my photos.  Where can I download a newer version of iPhoto so I will be able to see my photos again?  My iMac is running OS X 10.7.5 and cannot be upgraded to a newer operating system as it is a late 2006 iMac.  Please help, I am so upset at losing all my family photos I can barely type this.

    1. Make a back up first thing.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    2. If you have iPhoto 6 why are you using the upgrader?

    How to use iPhoto Library Upgrader

    Hello Terence,
    sorry that I come here with a completly different thema but I follow your answers since long and they are always excellent! And I do not know who could help... as I can not find the solution in Apple Support Communities.
    I am very afraid with my MacBook Pro: midd. 2012
    Prozessor: 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
    4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB
    Software: OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    Kernel-Version: Darwin 12.5.0
    iPhoto 11, Version: 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iPhone 4s, 64GB Version:7.0.2 (11A501),
    Symptoms:
    1. I have notice three days ago that Spotlight allways answers I should go to the web when I look for data in my computer. It seems that Spotlight can not find anything from my computer.
    2. Timemachine has no data before the 28th. January 2014 (!?) No idea why this happens
    3. In Finder window when I go to "Alle meine Daten"(= All my data) there is absolutely nothing there...it means 0 objekts are there.
    4.In  Systemeinformationen (=Systeminformations) if I go to Software and then to Programs... there is nothig there because the Plug-In do not react quick enough (Das Plug-In hat beim Sammeln dieser Informationen nicht schnell genug reagiert). I am asking me which Plug-In it is and where to find it...
    5. On my iPhone the Photo-stream suddenly shows only 110 fotos from Dezember on, but in My MacBookPro the iPhoto Stream shows of course the lasts 1000 ones...from 25.01.2013 to 03.02.14 as it did allways before.
    I am not going to sync anything until I discover what is going on...
    6. On my Contacts suddenly appeared the link address of a "game" in my own card ( both in iCloud and Lokal AddressBook)... and I have never ever played an online game (!?). So I deleted this two links as I discovered them some days ago...
    I do not know what is going wrong here but I'm afraid to loose all my data in the computer, so I am making a secure copy in an external drive right now...
    Could it be a virus inside... a software problem may be...?
    The mayor  Problem is how to get the programms to work (Spotlight, etc), or how to repair them.
    I'm trying to find something wrong in the Protocols I have here, for example
    - the Repair protocol for users from 27.01.2012 ( /Users/Begona/Library/logs/fsck_hfs.log).
    - the Datasystem-Reppairprotocol from 01.02. 14 (/var/log/fsck_hfs.log)
    - the Installationsprotocol from 04.02.14...
    but I am really lost.
    Thank you very much for reading this, help would be high appreciated

  • I updated my MAC to Mavericks and purchased iPhoto 9.5.  Installed new version of iPhoto and installed using iPhoto Library Upgrade as directed.  Each time I try open iPhoto I receive the same message.

    I updated my MAC to Mavericks and purchased iPhoto 9.5.  Installed iPhoto; however when I try to open iPhoto I receive The folling, "To open your library with this version of  iPhoto, it first must be prepared.  To prepare use iPhoto Library Upgrade".  I have have downloaded and installed the upgrader, with no success.
    I need to add that I am a senior and am not as computer savey as I should be.  Therefore, i really need step by step help.

    After you download the upgrader, you will need to go to your Applications folder and find the Utilities folder.
    In there will be the iPhoto Library Upgrader (version 1.1). Open the application and follow the instructions. Should get you going.

  • Cannot open iPhoto after update to 9.5.1 from App-Store. I use OSX 10.9.5. Note:"to prepare library use iPhoto Library Upgrader available at Apple, but I cannot find it. On button "more info" comes: "we cannot find this page". Who can help? Thanks

  • My iphoto will not work after downloading iphoto library upgrader.

    I have a new macbook and just tried to use iphoto and it told me I had to download the iphoto library upgrader or quit. I downloaded it but still can not open iphoto.

    You have to download and RUN the iPhoto library upgrader - if and only if your old version of iPhoto is iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x or earlier) - and as always backup your iPhoto library prior to any update or upgrade in case of problems

  • HT5037 What is the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool?  Should not need it, because installed Photo 9.5.1 three days ago, AND my iphoto will not open. The message says if I have v8.x or later, I don't need this tool.

    Why is my iPhoto 9.5.1 blocked?
    Message on pop up screen says I need the Library Upgrader tool, when in the very discription of it: "If your library is from iPhoto (v8.x) or later, you don't need to use this tool."

    What version of iPhoto did you have prior to upgrading to iPhoto 9.5.1?  The following is from this download page: iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1
    This tool prepares libraries from iPhoto 7 or earlier so they can be upgraded with the current version of iPhoto.
    So if you previous version of iPhoto was 7 or earlier you need to download (it installs in the Applications/Utilities folder), launch and apply it to your iPhoto Library before opening the library with iPhoto 9.5.1.

  • IPhoto is asking me to use iPhoto Library Upgrader, downloaded it and it wont let me select iPhoto or the libraries on my desktop.

    I have iPhoto 9.5.1. The other day I tried to open an old library that I moved from another laptop. Since then, I have been getting this error message. I have downloaded iPhoto Library Upgrader and it wont let me select my 9.5.1 version of iPhoto or the old library on my desktop.

    You do not need the iPhoto library upgrader for a library created by iPhoto 9.5.1 - only for libraries form iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) and older
    The iPhoto Library Upgrader is a tool that prepares libraries from iPhoto '08 (v7.x) or earlier so that you can upgrade them with the current version of iPhoto. If your library is from iPhoto '09 (v8.x) or later, you don't need to use this tool.

  • HT5037 I installed the iphoto library upgrader and iphoto still will not open

    I installed the iphoto library upgrader and iphoto still will not open. can anyone solve this?

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Problems after rebuilding iPhoto library

    After an automatic rebuild of the iPhoto library, iPhoto shows only 950 out of 7000 picture that I originally had in iPhoto. When I click on a picture, iPhoto gives me the blown up of another picture.
    I have actually been having problems with iPhoto since a while. My first problem was that iPhoto kept on crashing while I carried out the smallest kind of editing. After some time, iPhoto wouldn't start at all. I have therefore backed up the library in an external hard disk and started an automatic rebuild of the library. Now I can start iPhoto but I encounter the problems described in the first paragraph.
    Do I have too many pictures for one library? Is it advisable to split the pictures in two libraries? How? Or should I rather get the latest version of iPhoto from iLife? Many thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    No, you don’t have too many pics for one Library. V5 of iPhoto is good for 25k images. (Later versions are good for 250k images).
    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.

  • Problems after restoring iPhoto library

    I have had a number of problems with iPhoto since restoring my photo library after a hard drive failure. Apple replaced the hard drive and I restored the photo library from a DVD backup.
    The problems with iPhoto are:
    1. When attaching my digital camera to import new photos the import goes OK, except the new photos are not added as a new film roll. They are placed (seemingly randomly) in a film roll that is 2 years old.
    After this if I sort the library by date they appear at the end (as would be expected), but if I quit iPhoto and reopen it later the newly imported photos are gone. iPhoto prompts me to recover missing photos when I open it and it does so, but the recovered photos are just file numbers and grey-dashed boxes -- no actual photos.
    2. iPhoto has started moving photos from years ago to the end of my library (ie the most recent) and re-dating them with todays date.
    I hope I have explained my issues adequately, they are making my head spin!
    I would very much appreciate any advice.

    M&C:
    I trashed the iPhoto Library File on the desktop
    What file would that be, the Library6.iPhoto file? If it were on the desktop then it would not have any effect on the library. That's the file that can get corrupted for a number of reasons, some of which seem to come out of the blue. It's usually due to an interruption while that database file is being written to and it's left open and, thus, damaged. Users have reported it going bad after shutting down for the night and the next day it's gone bad.
    For that reason I suggest you look at the tip at the end of my signature for a way to protect against it.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. You can put it in the Dock and click on it after every import or any extensive editing/organizational effort in the library. You want iPhoto dormant when you make the copy.

  • Problem after importing iPhoto library - Syncing iPhone/iPad: wrong dates

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem, which I cannot seem to find a solution to:
    I have imported my iPhoto library into Aperture without any hassle. The problem now is:
    When I sync my iPhone/iPad within iTunes, and I click "sync with Aperture"(instead of iPhoto) under "Photos", then "select only the projects of the last 3 months", I always wind up with ALL my Photos (20.000 +) that I have imported with Aperture. Not just the last 30+.
    The individual photo's meta information in Aperture is however correct: i.e. a project containing pictures from 2006 still shows the pictures being from 2006. So they shouldn't show up under the photo sync within iTunes when I click "last 3 months", right?
    What am I doing wrong? Does Aperture set the date to all the imported projects to the same current date they were imported on? Is there any way to correct this, or sync only the photos of the last 3 months?
    Otherwise I will have to go back to iPhoto...
    Thank you!

    again the same problem, i emptied my trash and again resync after uncheck the photo sync option all the pics were gone, there wasnt any cache in pictures folder, i selected the photo to be sync arround 4573 and again its updating only 405 and i dont see any cache in pictures folder, i dont know may be in lion its saving cache somewhere else, im unable to find it and unable to do it right way. i searched in spotlight for ipod photo cache nothing showed up.

  • HT5037 I've downloaded iPhoto Library upgrader and run the install but can't find the app to run it. Consequently, I cannot open iPhoto. I upgraded from 7 to the latest version to get my photo books feature back. Has Apple been bought out by Microsoft?

    More details would help more then snit remarks about Apple being bought out by Microsoft.
