I am trying to update my iphoto and it will not open at all

I have used the iPhoto manage to rebuild my library and tried doing the iPhoto upgrade tool and the upgrade tool won't even run. it keeps saying there is an error and stops as soon as i select the library and hit continue.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • The iphoto and itunes will not open please help

    on my Mac G5 the iphoto and itunes will not open can anyone help

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Then, hold the Option key down when trying to open iPhoto, does it ask where it's Library is? Or what exactly happens?

  • IPhoto and iMovie will not open with Mountain Lion upgrade.

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion OS 10.8, my iPhoto and iMovie will not open. I am using a newly purchased MB Air. I re-installed iPhoto from the App Store after trashing my previously installed iPhoto application. IPhoto Library Manager was downloaded as recommended on Apple Support but also will not open. I also tried to trach the iPhoto plist as recommended by a community member.  Each application (iPhoto and iMovie) bounces above the dock and message received that application unexpectedly closed. Thank you for any recommendations.

  • I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • I have a Imac and I have 8.1 iphoto and it will not open my library  it started after i tried to close all the windows with no luck and had to force the system down by turning it off. everythig else came back up olay except Iphoto

    My iphto will not open after I had to shut down my imac due to it not being able to close iphoto . It just says opeartion not able to open.

  • I have a 2006 macbook and tried to load pages app and it will not open

    I have a macbook that was purchase in 2006 and wanted to know was pages, keynote and numbers already installed on the computer prior to purchase. If so where would it be located. If not. I already purchased and downloaded it but it will not open on the macbook, it's showing that it's only an app for iPad/iPhone.

    The iWork suite (Pages / Numbers / Keynote) is not part of your computers OS, and would be a seperate installation. 
    If you do have it, it would be in your applications folder, in a second folder entitled "iWork"
    As your computer has an old OS (10.5.8), you would not be able to download these app's, as they require an OS version of 10.7 or higher.
    Your OS will support iWork 08 or iWork 09, and if you have an iWork installation disc, you can install it on this computer.  If you don't have an iWork installation disc you can likely purchase one off of ebay.

  • Click on iphoto and it will not open

    iphoto not launching when i click on application.

    Make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home () /Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/ Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

  • I got a new MacBook, and iChat will not open at all.

    About a month ago, I got a new MacBook (the regular one, not Air or Pro). Everything is working fine, except for iChat. It has never opened since purchasing my new computer and it continues not to. When you double click the iChat icon, "iChat" appears in the top bar containing File, Edit, View, etc., but the actual program never pops up. Considering that I have a new computer with little stored on it right now, I do not think that lack of memory space (if that's a proper name for the term) is the problem. I'm not to technical with computers (I know how to do cool stuff on them, but I don't know things like codes, HTML, and those kinds of number things). I am pretty sure, however, that I have a brand-new MacBook with 2008 iLife software and, I think, Leopard. Can someone with more knowledge of computers please help me! Thanks!

    If iChat appears in the menu bar press the cmd/1 keys together to see the buddy list or click on window in the menu bar and click on your buddy list.
