I have reinstalled iPhoto and cant open my library. It says I have made alterations with a newer version of iPhoto, Have downloaded all software updates. What do I do to get iphoto app working?

I need help to get the iphoto apllication working. I reinstalled it from the iLife disc and upgraded the software as instructed but now it says I cannot open the library with this version of the iphoto app.   Whats happening and how do I fix it?

I am on iLife 11 and 10.6 OS so it is all about 2 years old  .. I followed one of you r other threads and have done the reinstall, then Cmd opt and gone for a rebuild from the library...it is now 'repairing the library database' and is stuck at 98%.... just letting it run -- does it take long?  D

  • HT5022 I'm trying to add a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    I'm trying to add my HP wireless printer as a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    Why would you need to ADD a new Client. Unless the APE sytem is completely different then any other Wireless router the printer should get an IP address from the router. That is IF the printer is setup to get an IP from the LAN DHCP server.
    Now you may want to make that IP it does get a Staticly assign IP address so it never changes, which will screw up printing if it does change. But i don't know if you can do that with APE routers.

    Actually, there seems to be a bit of a bug.  Encountered this with a couple of files my wife made.  The files were set to "open with" the new Keynote, but clicking the file brought up this error.  Right-clicking and selecting "open with..." worked correctly.  I can only assume the OS was attempting to open the file with Keynote '09 despite the file property setting.
    Probably requires a Launch Services DB reset (although I haven't actually tried it on my wife's MBA yet...since she's still "working on stuff".  So I can't confirm if it will solve the problem).

    Depending on your model, you might not be able to update. For example an iPod touch 2nd Gen. can't be updated to more than 4.2.1.

    I updated my itunes and now when I try to send music to itunes it won't send the music to the folder I sent it to. What do I do this get this to work?

    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

  • IPhoto won't open my library, it says I made changes with a newer version?

    I D/L'ed iPhoto library manager so that I could split my library because my startup disk is overfilling everytime I try to import photos. I tried using iPhoto lib manager to split my library into two. I created a new library. I also created a new album I dumped my pictures from '03-'07 into. After I did this IpHOTO started saying my original library was made by a newer version of iPhoto and couldn't be opened. I opened the library package to make sure I didn't lose 8000 pictures, luckily all of my pictures were still in the library and organized like usual (folders by year, month, and day). I was able to re-import all of my pictures but as you can imagine the dates were messed up, multiple events with only one picture yet there are 10 separate events for the same day and it also imported a bunch of low res thumbnails (AARRRGH!).
    The library manager still lets me choose to open my old library in iPhoto but when IpHOTO launches it gives me the error of being made by a newer version. I even bought iLife '09 *$$* to upgrade to the newest version of iPhoto available. I can still see my old albums in the library manager when my old library is selected but when I try to drag them into my new library I get this error message.
    "The library "iPhoto Library" needs to be upgraded to work with iPhoto version 8.0.3 before you can copy photos from it. Please open the library and let iPhoto upgrade it, then try the copy again."
    However I can't open this library with the newest version of iPhoto because when I do it says ..
    "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."!?
    What the? I'm using the newest version of iPhoto!! It couldn't have been changed by a newer version of iPhoto because there ISN'T ONE!
    This is soooo frustrating. I've dealt with corrupt iTunes folders all mixed up, with unknown errors occurring when I've tried to update to 10.5.6 and I've figured them both out but this is my bane at the current time!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated to keep my photos and vids organized. thanks much,
    Tim

    Duplicate response to your duplicate post
    Unless you opened the Library with a later version, then this is sometimes a symptom of database corruption.
    And one cause of library corruption is operating without adequate free disk space
    You must have a minimum of 10GB of free disk space to safely operate your Mac. Since you are having notices of inadequate space you almost certainly have much less than that - and the problem is exactly that - nothing to do with any program including iPhoto or IPLM
    You must free up space now before you can do anything to recover your photos - adding an external drive is the quickest and easiest

  • I have the newest iphoto but it says i made changes with a newer version :(

    anyway i had already have the latest version and checked again with software update and no luck.
    what should i do now to able to open iphoto and see my photos.

    Two things: do you have a photo cd in your Mac. If so eject it and try again.
    Otherwise it sounds like a damaged library file.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    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 back.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • I use iphone 4 ios 6.1. i want to buy whatsapp app buy i cant buy it cos it says the email Id is for U.S why am in Nigeria. if i created another apple id using Nigeria country, will the app work with ma iphone that already have another id to purchase app

    i use iphone 4 with ios 6.1. i want to buy whatsapp app but my previous apple id is for U.S using to get free app while i live in Nigeria. if i create another id for Nigeria region to buy Whatsapp app, will it work with my iphone that already have id?

    Hello Emmanuel,
    It sounds like you are trying to purchase an app on your iPhone while in Nigeria.  You do not need to create a new Apple ID to do this.  You will just need change the iTunes Store country in your iPhone settings and update your billing information to match the country you are in:
    Change your iTunes Store country
    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.
    You can find the full article here:

  • What happened to the color and my boxes. I can't find log off, close x's and other graphics with the new version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times.

    the only way I knew this spot was here is because the cursor is blinking. Only see 2 lines above here. Otherwise I can't see it. This is the same with everything since I installed the new version of Foxfire. I tried to uninstall and reinstall several times and get the same result. I will have to start using another browser but don't want to since I have used Foxfire for years. I don't have this problem on my desktop where I haven't installed the new version.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

  • Whenever I try to open Firefox the following window pops up: XUL Runner/ Error/ Platfor Version "5.0" is not compatible with/ minVersion =5.0.1/ maxVersion =5.0.1/ OK(button) What do I do to get Firefox to work again?

    I have been using Firefox for quite some time (years). It tried to upgrade Firefox and since then have not been able to get it to open, each time it comes up with that popup window, with my only option being to click on the OK button, which terminates the operation.

    The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
    Do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I have bad eyesight and normally run a browser @ easy to see size why doesn't the NEW version of FF keep resizing??

    First of all thanks for the browser...2ndly why does every website and it's grandmother require me to "register" with them. I have more accounts than the pentagon and am getting sick of it.
    I really do not like this new version but the plug-ins for the old one quit working so here we are.
    The old version I was using would let me ctrl + + my viewing window and SAVE it. Now everytime I open a window in FF it goes to default...so now I'm stuck with a browser I don't like compared to previous versions AND I can't see the print in the windows FURTHER straining my eyes. Now every window I open I have to resize (Zoom) the webpage in...every...time...Why??? Why do ppl change things that were working just fine??? Why make something so hideous??
    The older versions were just fine the way they were imo and thank you for them and I guess thx for trying on this version. Please consider going back to the older versions.

    Sorry, I'm not sure why Firefox 6 is no longer remembering your zoom settings, but installing the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/ No Squint add-on]''' might help. No Squint provides options to remember zoom settings for specific web pages, or for all pages.

  • I have a macbook and I use the trackpad to zoom in some windows. On the new version of firefox, this option appears to be disabled. How can I enable it again? thanks

    the option is called "pinch open and close".

    When you try to use the Mac side on your external monitor do you get a blank screen or do you see the aurora background?
    It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
