I cannot recover back up's from previous versions?? Really??

Every time I try to recover back ups from previous versions of iPhoto, it crashes as it doesn't see the image as a jpg file. Any suggestions? These photo's are an invaluable part of my business!!

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.  Now insert the disc in the optical drive and try copying photos from the disc library into the new library.  If you can then that means you current library is damaged.
If that's the case then make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
  Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, 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 the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
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.

  • Bring back lost Creation types from previous versions of Elements?

    I would like to see some of the Creation types from previous versions of Elements that appear to have been lost in the lastest verions reinstated - either within the product or as downloadable options. Specifically I use the 'Album Pages / Seasons' creations in PE4 a lot but looking through a download of PE7 they are no longer there.
    If this can be addressed it would also help me enormously to be able to repeat text boxes on each page (same text, font & position) on each page in just the way I already can with headers and footers.
    Any support for this type of thing?

  • Can I import Events and Projects from previous versions of iMovie

    I just installed the latest version of iMovie - but I have a bunch of projects, events, etc. from previous version - going way back.  Is there a way to move those items into the new version.

    Yes.  File - Update Projects and Events.  Your iMovie 9 folders will still be available.  (I would not delete any iMovie 9 stuff untill you are happy with iMovie 10 - its quite different.)

  • Reconnect from previous versions of pse

    I accidently deleted some files where  photos are stored. Can I somehow reconnect from previous versions of pse that are backed up on cd's. I am running pse 11.

    You can copy the photos to your computer from your backups and PSE Organizer will find them automatically if you put them in the correct folder which your current configuration knows about it.
    You just need to copy the photos and organizer can do the rest.
    Good luck.

  • Delayed response of when moving objects in diagram and panel, happend in LV 6, only for vi's compiled from previous versions. any suggestions?

    When I using the mouse to select portion of the diagram or the panel, or when I moving objects- I found that in all the vi's that I compiled from former versions of labview- there is a delay of close to a second to the actual selection or movement of the item. This happens in 2 machines out of 5 that I tested it, and it happened both in windows 2000 and in windows 98. any suggestions?

    Sometimes a video driver issue. Update your video driver.
    Or turn down the video driver hardware acceleration. Right-click an
    empty area of the desktop, choose the Settings tab, choose the Advanced
    button.
    The location of this differs in different versions of Windows.
    Win2000: go to Troubleshooting, and turn down the slider for hardware
    acceleration.
    Win98: I think it's on another tab.

  • Does iDVD have all the themes from previous versions?

    If I were to get a new iMac with iLife '08 installed will I have all the themes from previous versions of iDVD? Can someone with a new iMac and an older machine with iLife '06 & 05 confirm?
    If the are not all there can I move them over and hopefully iLife '08 iDVD will convert them?

    My upgrade yesterday maintained all previous themes.
    I recall reading this week that you could get old themes from Apple if needed. Don't know if that's a download or snail mail request.
    I don't see anything about that here:

  • Pages 5.52 does not open my custom templates from previous versions?

    Pages 5.52 does not open my custom templates from previous versions?
    Pages freezes and I have to force quit
    Whats happening

    Pages v5 (including v5.5.2) lacks about 100+ features found in Pages '09 v4.3. When Pages v5 encounters unsupported content in Pages '09 (or very early Pages v5) templates, it communicates this to you as an application freeze. As Pages '09 v4.3 runs on Yosemite, and you may still have it in /Applications/iWork '09, you may want to use it instead. Recreating templates is not the best use of your time.

  • Cannot save open tabs when closing, instructions on "help", don't; FF4 has crashed/locked several times also. Frequently have to hit link button (or back button) twice for it to work. Had MUCH better performance from previous version (Windows 7 user)

    previous version asked if I wanted to save tabs when closing, not version 4. "Help" suggested checking setting but does NOT indicate what to check! (I cannot find any options/settings related to saving tabs upon closing). Second option was to rename two files, did so, did not allow saving tabs (just erased history). I liked saving tabs and am very frustrated by this.
    FF has crashed a couple of times, locked a couple of times (most recently I could not even stop with windows task manager, had to reboot)
    Frequently links (or "back" button) gives no response until pressed twice

    forgot to add that pages are generally much SLOWER to load with version 4 than previous version. NOT progress!

  • Cannot recover my iPhoto library from Time Machine backup

    Been trying to restore my iPhoto Library but the restore fails with the following error:
    "The Finder cannot completer the operation because some data in "iPhoto Library" could not be read or written. (Error code -36).
    I am trying to restore it after iPhoto "lost" all the images, even though I can see that everything is still there. Before I decided to try this, I tried all the usual stuff like rebuilding the thumbnail library, ets, etc. Nothing seems to work
    This is very frustrating to say the least.

    Did you try rebuilding the library using iPhoto Library Manager. Heres' how:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - 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
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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 untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory .
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Can I use Time Machine to recover backed-up files from a stolen computer?

    Hi everyone,
    I used Time Machine to back up my MacBook Pro but unfortunately it was stolen this week. I'm going to buy a new MacBook Pro and would like to recover the backed-up files from my old computer via Time Machine, though not necessarily transform the new computer into a clone of the old one. Can anyone point me to step-by-step directions for how to do this with Time Machine? Is there a way of using Time Machine to select, a la carte, which backed-up data you want to restore to your new machine, or is it an all-or-nothing deal?
    Thanks for your help and advice!

    Yes. Use the migration assistant.
    First, I'd set up the new computer and choose not to migrate any data (this sometimes causes issues). Run all software updates, then run the Migration Assistant (In applications). It will allow you to choose a time capsule to migrate information from. You will be able to choose what information to pull from the time capsule: it won't simply clone the old computer.

  • I do not see print dialog when I click File Print and thus cannot select a different printer from previous printing.

    When I click File Print, no dialog appears. Instead, printing starts immediately so, I don't get to select a printer. At some point in the distant past (with a previous version of Firefox, maybe), the dialog must have appeared I must have chosen the Office Onenote printer. Now, whenever I print a web page, Firefox always uses that printer.
    I can change to another printer by editing the config file but, I have to do that every time I want to change printers. That's a bit cumbersome. Is there any way to force the print dialog to open when I click File Print so that I can chose a printer that way?
    I am using Firefox 3.6.3 with Windows XP SP3.
    Thanks for you help.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I don't recall exactly.

    I was having this issue, first when trying to "Run" and then after saving the exe and trying from the desktop.
    To solve it, I simply right-clicked the exe and clicked Run As Administrator. Its installing as I type.
