I cannot open Iphoto on my macbook pro what do I do?

That's a bit like saying my car is broken, what do I do?
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.

i purchased adobe photoshop elements 12 and cannot open organizer on my macbook pro 7.1 Any suggestions?

After I successfully install the adobe photoshop elements 12 for mac, I try to open organizer and a window pops up that says
"Adobe Elements 12 Organizer cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Elements 12 Organizer works with this version of Mac OSX. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OSX. Click report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
I have checked for any updates on my Mac and it is up to date.
I have tried reloading and am still getting the same result.
I can open Editor, but not Organizer.
I am running Mac OSX version 10.6.2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 4 GB memory, all standard stuff that came in the computer and I have no security software running when I do this.
Any idea why it is not working?
Thanks, Victor

I cannot open safari on my Macbook Pro Yosemite How do I reinstall it?

I have recently purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina with Yosemite OS X. I got Trovi.com adware on the computer and in the process of removing this I lost the use of Safari. When I attempt to open Safari I get a message telling me It does not connect with the server. How can this be rectified and how do I reinstall the software if this is the method to use?
John Atkinson

JudySings,
I tried all your suggestions without success. However, I have now been able to recover Safari access to server, or at least Safari seems to be working. I pick up the solution among a number on Duck Duck web site.
Here is what was suggested and worked.
Go to Safari> Preferences>Privacy
Clk Cookies and Web site data-Highlight only "Always allow" option and "Remove all website data".
Go to " Website use of Local Services and only highlight "Deny without prompting".
The Safari message of "Safari cannot connect to server" did not appear and the browser bar opened.
I cannot answer why this worked but it did.
I thank you for your help.

I cannot open iPhoto in Mac book Pro

"You can't open the application iPhoto because the Classic environment is no longer supported."
OS X 10.7.5
tried to open got the spinning cursor and then the icon got one of those international 'do not' cicles with the line through it.

First off Mac Pros and MacBook Pros are different machines (the former is a desktop, the latter a notebook), but that matters not for your question. I'll request this thread get moved. Secondly, iPhoto has a newer release which came with your MacBook Pro out of the factory.
Is your machine older than July 20, 2011? If not, you'll probably have to restore the factory software after making a clone backup or buy iLife or iPhoto from the Mac App Store. If it is older than July 20, 2011, there is an original installer disc that came with your computer, you should call AppleCare for, if you lost that includes a newer version of iPhoto than the Classic only compatible version as part of its restore application. Classic is not compatible with any Mac newer than January 1, 2006.

Cannot open iCloud document on Macbook pro (numbers, pages, ...)

Im am sharing some documents between iPad, iPhone, iMac and the Macbook pro. The Macbook pro is new, I am starting to use it now.
When trying to open a document (e.g. a numbers document) on my Macbook pro, I can see it in the "open file" dialog; the dialog even shows a preview. When clicking at the document I get an error message, telling me that numbers cannot open the file.
I can open my iCloud files at my iMac without a problem; no problem with the iPad also. I am using the newest versions of numbers, pages at all my devices.
At my Macbook pro I can move the iCloud document to the desktop. At the desktop it opens without any problem.
Any idea?

My language setting is german; therefore the error message is german, too:
Die Datei „BLE Firmware Slotplan.numbers“ konnte nicht geöffnet werden.
My best translation is: "The file „BLE Firmware Slotplan.numbers“ could not be opened.

Cannot Open Appleworks Documents in MacBook Pro

Hi; I recently got my MacBook Pro. I installed Appleworks 6.2.9 and transferred files via CD from my old G-4 PowerBook (which also had Appleworks 6.2.9 on it). Most of the document are now in something called Unix Exec and won't open. I've tried to open in Appleworks and in Microsoft Word and I get an error message that says "An I/O Error Occurred." Even the documents that somehow remained as Appleworks 6 icons in the transfer won't open - I get the same error message. Some documents end in .cwk and others as [v 6.0], but neither of these will open.
I have well over 100 documents and half a book written of 150+ pages - Help, what do I do?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

i guess a number of things will sometimes work for this. try going to utilities > disk utility and then repairing disk permissions. if that doesn't work, then boot to the install disk and repair the disk. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 if that still doesn't work, then try resetting launch services by removing the following files--
/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.LocalCache.csstore
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.UserCache.csstore
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
"localcache" and "usercache" will vary as to what is there. just pull the files that start with "com.apple.LaunchServices" in these locations. let me know if any of that works for you.

I suddenly cannot open facebook on my macbook pro running OSX 10.8.4. I am traveling in Vietnam, if that means anything. . .

Hi. I've been traveling, using facbook on iphone and my macbook. Suddenly I cannot access Facebook. I prefer to use Safari as my broser, but I downloaded Mozilla tonight to just see if it was a browser issue. The problem carries over into Mozilla Firefox. Both say they can't find the server. However, I can access facebook through my iPhone.
Can anyone help me so I can use facebook through my computer--I'd like to use it on my computer. I use Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.4. iPhone is iPhone 5 running 6.1.4.
Thanks,
EST

Try enabling the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone and connecting the Mac to the Internet thru it. If Facebook works ok then, that would mean the ISP is either blocking or having connection problems whereas the phone carrier is not.
Be mindful that carrier data charges can be outrageous so use this as a test first.

HT1338 I can't open iphoto on my MacBook Pro because of a problem.

This begin when synchronizing my iphone4s in my mac book pro in some way blockade iphoto. help!
I have all my photos are in this program

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

I am unable to open Photo on my MacBook Pro after installing ilife 11 from a disc. The message I get says "you can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. What can I do?!

I am unable to open iPhoto on my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.9.3) after installing ilife 11 from a disc. The message I get is "you can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. What can I do?! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reinstall it.This time delete the receipts first.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
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 or later 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.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Important:
As you're on 10.9.3 you'll need to update iPhoto to v9.5 before opening it. Use Software update.

I downloaded the new iphoto to my macbook pro. Now when I open it, there is a message telling me that "your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup." What do I do I had 16,000 pictures.....PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Try download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

Hi! Cannot open iPhoto (9.4.2) nor Mail 5.3 (1283) on my Macbook pro version 10.7.5.... What to do???

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
