I can not open iphoto or itunes - message is that "the program quit unexpectedly"

I am not able to open iphoto or itunes from our family computer. It attempts to open and then gives the message saying i photo quit unwxpectedly.

Hello,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open them.

  • 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.

  • HT201210 After downloading latest version of iTunes it will not open.  This error message is displayed;  The program can't star because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.  Then a second error box

    After iTunes requested that I download latest version on PC it now will not open.  2 error messages appear.  first:  The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.  second:  iTunes was not installed correctly please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).  I have tried reinstalling a number of times and restarting computer but no luck.

    This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes.   I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
    Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
    If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
    Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
    A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.

  • I am running OS X10.4.11 Recently I have been having trouble opening entourage, word, safari, excel, etc on a cold start  It has been taking 3 attempts  each time getting a message that the program quit unexpectedly.  Seems like a virus.  What can I do?

    1st attempt to open an application after the computer has been shut down a message says(as an example)" the application PowerPoint quit unexpectedly.  Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.  Click reopen to see more details or send a report to Apple."  Next attempt it says "The application PowerPoint quit unexpectedly after it was reopened.  Mac Os X and other applications are not affected.  Click Try Again to temporarily restore the application's default settings and open it again.  Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple."  When I click "Try Again"  the app opens normally and usually runs ok  sometimes it will quit unexpectedly but when reopening at that point it opens ok.  Never had this issue until about 2 weeks ago.  ***  When I close the program myself I get a message that says "PowerPoint-New Settings
    New settings have been created for this application.  Do you want to use these settings from now on?  Then there  are  2 buttons below the dialogue box that say "Use new settings and Use original settings"  This happens every time I try to open Power Point, Excel, Safari, Entourage the first time each new day.  If I have been running any of those programs and have not shut down the laptop then the program will reopen normally but may shut down unexpectedly on its own  and sometimes not. What changed and how do I fix this problem?  Running OS X10.4.11 and software updates are current.  Ran diagnostics and checked out ok.

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    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 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, (not Repair Permissions). 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.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

  • Can not open iPhoto, message telling me that i need to upgrade?

    can not open iPhoto, message telling me that i need to upgrade

    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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 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't open Iphoto because of a "?" on the logo on the dock

    My problem is I can not open Iphoto. I'm afraid not to find my photos again....all of these are in.. Actually, a "?" is on the logo on the dock. When I click on it, there is just "option > delete the app". Can somebody help me please !!? Thanks

    then (Probably #1 or possibly #2)
    if it is not there then
    reinstall from the original source
    Could be
    1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
    or
    2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
    or
    3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

  • I can't open iPhoto by clicking on it in the dock.

    I can't open iPhoto by clicking on it in the dock. Normally my album would be displayed but it doesn't since last night. Also I couldn't load new pictures when I connected my camera to it. Please let me know how this can be fixed. Thank you!

    Do you have a second user account where you can go and test
    this application, and see if the camera can still connect to it?
    The actual problem may be with user permissions &/or privileges,
    or just issues with them, that may be repaired with Disk Utility.
    Have you started in SafeBoot (shift key held on start tone) and
    then after, run Disk Utility's repair disk permissions? In SafeBoot,
    the computer won't have wireless internet, and usually other items
    will be disabled, until you restart the Mac normally.
    A repair of those permissions may help your user account see the
    iPhoto application and your image files; however there is a matter
    of wondering what could have caused this kind of problem.
    Is the computer still running Leopard 10.5.8? Or was it upgraded
    to Snow Leopard 10.6 via retail DVD, & then beyond?
    You could try & boot OS X DVD install disc version to run Disk
    Utility's Repair Disk (hard disk drive) in your computer. The HDD
    may have errors, or issues; perhaps a Console utility log from the
    time/date of these iPhoto launch errors could help figure what's
    going on. As these machines age, the HDDs can wear out.
    So some software issues may be based in hardware.
    There may be some other things to try; not knowing if any have
    been, makes suggestions unfocused. Even a restart can help
    a troubled Mac figure out a thing or two.
    A good idea is to have a backup of your works on an external
    hard disk drive, in addition to a TimeMachine backup, and an
    archive of your works just in case the MacBook HD fails.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    hello, I can see the Icon of my external hard on the mac os x 10.6.8 but I can not open it or view any file in the external hard
    your prompt reply will be appreciated
    thanks

    Reinstall 10.6 again, but this time hold c boot off the 10.6 and erase the ENTIRE internal drive.
    You do this by selecting the drive makers name and size on the left hand side, not the slightly indented partition underneath it.
    If you erase and install 10.6 only into a parittion, say Macintosh HD, the you still have the hidden Lion Recovery Partition on the drive and it appears you already have 10.7
    In the MAS, hold option and click Purchases to redownload Lion
    FYI, you don't need to install 10.6 to reinstall 10.7, 10.7 can be reinstalled via the Lion Recovery, Command r boot.

    Hey rangermikegsm,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re concerned because you don’t see your rentals in iTunes, but they appear to have downloaded. Take a look at the article below and check the Rentals tab in iTunes on your MacBook.
    About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Find movies you rented previously
    Find your movie on the device you used to rent it.
    On a Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
    On an iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
    Using Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation): Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
    Ciao,
