I have just upgraded my software and the it keeps crashing every time it tries to upgrade my iPhoto folders, so i can't see any photos at all

I now have the latest iphoto and am on Lion.  It says the library needs to be upgraded and it always crashes before it is complete

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • HT1338 i upgraded from leopard to snow leopard ( i know i am really behind) but now iTunes won't recognize my iPhone. and the updates keep crashing when they are trying to install...help!

    I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. now iTunes won't recognize my iphone, and the upgrading the software keeps crashing.. help!!

    Mountain Lion is OS X 10.8
    10.6 was called Snow Leopard.
    To use iTunes 10.7 the following is required:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    Safari 4.0.3 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Do you use iTunes Match?
    That way all of your songs would be matched with the master song on the iTunes servers independently of iTunes on your Mac or PC...
    Look here for further information: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

    If you didn't already do so, try uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components (not just iTunes and AMDS), then reinstall iTunes, as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.  Follow the article and uninstall them in the order indicated.

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

    The Silverlight plugin crashes every time i try to watch a video at the Universal Sports website. I have uninstalled this plugin and re-enstalled it many times with no success

    It doesn't matter what I do I still get the plugin to crash. I've removed every trace of Internet Explorer in the registry. Download fresh versions of Mozilla and Silverlight. I uninstalled both of them and cleaned any lingering files. Reinstalled Mozilla, and Silverlight. Same error. No more movies for me. :>/ See entry below.

    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.

  • Uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library

    Hi all,
    This is driving me insane.
    I have uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library:-
    I have upgraded to yosemite 3 times in case thats where there problem was - no.
    I removed and reinstalled the new iphoto program about 5 times - no avail.
    I have installed iphoto library upgrader but it says that my library does not need it.
    I have installed iphoto9.1 update but it states that it cannot be installed on the disc as iphoto 9.0 or later must be installed but i have installed the latest version?
    I have even upgraded the server and i paid for this.
    When i open iphoto in applications it will open then state that i need to upgrade the library - i am happy to do this.
    I agree to this then iphoto crashes and closes before doing anything else.
    I have also tried holding the option button and opening iphoto but it crashes all the same.
    I am at a loss what to do. I could not access my library at all but i managed to find all my pics in finder so i have backed everything up and deleted all the files in the hope this would fix it - nope. Still the same.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?? Please oh please, this has taken days and countless wifi hours...
    TIA...

    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 desperately would like to update Firefox to version 10 from version 9 but each time I try, I am stuck with FF10 checking addons for comparability and the Welcome page opening every time I start the browser.

    Windows 7 64 bit
    I desperately would like to update Firefox to version 10 from version 9 but each time I try, I am stuck with FF10 checking addons for compatability and the Welcome page opening every time I start the browser. I continue to have to revert to version 9 to resolve this issue.

    Sorry to be a while getting back! Tried all of that with no sucess so this AM, bit the bullet and deleted the FF folder from programs and downloaded and installed FF 10.01. Still was plagued with the same problem. Went into the appdata folder and there were two sessionstore.js files. Deleted them both, restarted the browser and no compatibility check for add-ons was done at start up and the extra tab for Welcome to FF was no longer opening Everything seems to be working as it should and I did not loose any of my settings.. Thank you for trying to help and I hope my solution helps anyone else who might experience this in the future. Here's hoping the next update goes smoother!

  • My iPod touch 4G keeps getting very hot and the apps keep crashing

    My iPod Touch 4G has been getting very hot and the apps keep crashing. What can I do?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore from Backup..  Restore as New...
    Try a Reset of the Touch... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Touch Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Touch On...

  • My software (2012 quick books) keeps crashing every 5 minutes

    my software (2012 quick books) keeps crashing every 5 minutes
    ihave the 2.7 intel core i5    OS X lion 10.7.4

    Restoring the iPad actually puts a "fresh" or "new" copy of the software (iOS) on your iPad; If you have restored the iPad in iTunes; You should have done "Setup as New iPad" not "Restore from Backup". The problem could actually exist in the backup itself.
     So if you did "Restore the iPad" from a backup; try setting up the iPad as "New iPad" and see if that makes any difference;
    hope it helps

    Hi Everyone
    I have a MacBook Air mid 2012 11" that keeps freezing every time I use it
    It's running a i7 2ghz with 8gb ram And OS X 10.8.4
    I have had the Air around 11 months and the last week is the first time it has ever frozen , now it will do it after about 15 min use
    It seems a little warmer than usual and it will freeze no matter what is running , or just idle .
