Can not open iphoto after downloading iPhoto Library Upgrader tool

can not open iphoto after downloading iPhoto Library Upgrader tool

I understand you used the iPhoto Library Upgrader iPhoto '11 or later: About the Library Upgrader - Apple Support
try rebuilding the library: iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library - Apple Support
If it doesn't work, recover your iPhoto library from Time Machine: iPhoto '11: Restoring from Time Machine with iPhoto '11 (9.2 or later) and OS X Lion 10.7.2 (or later) - Apple Support

I can not open iPhoto, are all my pictures lost?

I used iPhoto just yesturday, but today when I went to open it it would not open and instead showed a question mark where the application is in my dock. I am very worried that if I can not open iPhoto all of my pictures will be lost. My main concern is not necesarliy getting iPhoto to work but retreaving my pictures. They are very importnt to me.
Thanks to who ever can help

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/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/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 or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

I can not open iphoto on my imac.. somebody knows why?

I have iphoto on my imac, but i cna`t use it anymore.. i can not open iphoto and i don`t know what happened?? Somebody know something about this problem?

With the lack of information this is only a guess: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I can not open Iphoto, my library crashed!!!

I can not open Iphoto, my library seens to be curruted. I tried to use option command function but nothing happens. I just can see that it is trying to update the software, step 1 of 11. Please can someone help me?

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.

I can not open iphoto and itune anymore

anyone knows why i can not open iphoto and itune anymore/

I have rerun the applications install dvd, but it has not corrected the fault. When I try to open iphoto's I have an error message that says You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
Peter,
the version you installed from the DVD is probably older than the version you used last with your library, so you need to update to the last version you used.
I have tried to update to the latest iphoto 11 but it wont download. Any answers please.
Where are you trying to download from? When you upgrade a version that is installed from the DVD, you need to update from the Software Update menu entry in the Apple-menu.
Also, iPhoto has to be called simply "iPhoto", not iPhoto '11 or something similar and to be installed in the Applications folder. Otherwise it will not be recognised by the updater.

I CAN NOT open Iphoto with the new Mavericks????

I can not open Iphoto with the new Mavericks, I changed Dutch for English but stil nothing ....

Hi Kevertjes,
Thank you for the update. I recommend verifying that you are signed in with the same Apple ID associated with or used to purchase iPhoto on the App Store under the Store menu.
If you are signed in with an alternate Apple ID, I recommend signing out of the App Store, signing back in with the correct Apple ID, and then trying the update again:
Sign out
Choose Store > Sign Out.
Sign in using an Apple ID
Choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In in the Quick Links section. The Quick Links section is located in the right part of the window shown when you click Featured, Top Charts, or Categories in the toolbar.
Enter your Apple ID and password, and then click Sign In.
Mac App Store: Sign in and out

What iPhoto are you referring to? The one on your Mac or on your mobile device? If on your Mac what system and iPhoto versions are you running? What happens when you try to launch iPhoto? Any message pops up? What are they?

What version of iPhoto? of the OS? where is your iPhoto library located? Have you looked at the "more like this list" on the right? One of the posts there like this one might help - https://discussions.apple.com/message/23891920#23891920

I downloaded ilife 11 and it has upset my iPhoto app and i can not open iPhoto

I have downloaded Mountain lion about 6 months ago. I had already downloaded ilife 11. Everything was working alright. I have now fitted an external drive for backup for my photo's.

When I try to open iphoto's I have an error message that says You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. I have tried to update to the latest iphoto 11 but it wont download. Any answers please. Peter

Can not see my picutres in IPhoto of even close this without going to Force Quit. will not let me download any of my new photos from my camera. I have tried all the instructions in TS2383 but does not work

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.
If that fails:
Restore from your back up, repair the Library and start again.

I can not open iphoto window says it is incomplete or damaged

There is a "do not enter" (cirlce with a diagonal line) sign over my iphoto. when i try to open it says iphoto can open, damaged or incomplete. Help!

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then the problem lies with your current library. In that case if you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2

Can not open iPhoto now that Yosemite is in place HELP..

Loaded update and now am without iPhoto....can I trash iPhoto and reinstall? Might that help.....right now when I hit open it goes to update library and stops responding.........left it 24 hours to see if it was actually process or just stuck....just stuck was the answer.....Don't want to lose my photos nor access to them.....I am not a computer person therefore got Apple so that I life would be easy....guess I was wrong....any help you can provide would be appreciated.

You need to update iPhoto to version 9.6 for Yosemite.
If you do not see an update on the AppStore Updates page, move the iPhoto application to the Trash (don't empty the Trash), then sign into the AppStore and download Photo from the main, "featured" tab. Type iPhoto into the search field.

Can't open iPhoto after downloading yosemite app

I have an IMac, and have recently downloaded the Yosemite app. Was not able to open iPhoto so I downloaded the iPhoto app. Now the slash on the iPhoto icon on the dock is gone, but when I try to open iPhoto I am directed to download the iPhoto app again, in an endless loop. Is anyone out there experiencing the same phenomena? How do get to my photos?

What version of iPhoto do you have?

Can not open book i downloaded, problem with adobe id.

I keep trying to open book i
I downloaded and keep getting message to enter adobe id and password. I have done that then i get message error, help!

The ID that matters is the internal ID, that stays the same with the account even when the email or password changes.
Instructions to find that internal ID below.
You can find the internal ID registered to ADE at the moment using crel-shift-I to see if that matches.
(ADE1.7.2 only gives the external id, not the internal one. One of the very few areas ADE2.0 is better)
One thing that might be worth doing is deauthorizing both ADE and the Sony, then reauthorizing.
The authorization sometimes gets its knickers in a twist.
ctrl-shift-D to deauthorize ade
ctrl-shift-E to deauthorize the Sony (to ADE with Sony plugged in)
~~~~~
OK. To find the internal AdobeID.
open a sample DRM .epub file as a .zip file.
With some zip programs, you can just open the .epub as an archive (ev, with 7zip),
with others you will have to rename the .epub file to a .zip file first, then open it.
find the file 'rights.xml' within the zip. Probably 'META-INF\rights.xml'
open the rights.xml file
inside you will find a section '<user>' that looks something like
<user>urn:uuid:ff2ddc22-eca0-46c6-a84d-xxxxxxxxxxxx</user>
That string is the internal version for your AdobeID.
That stays fixed for the AdobeID, even if you change the associated email (or password),
that internal ID is what is really associated with the book.
(n.b. there is no point in trying to change the urn to a current one you might find and recreating the .epub file; the DRM is cleverer than that).
