I-photo won't work

I have an older macbook (2.26GHz core 2 Duo) and I recently upgraded the OS to Lion and purchased I-photo 2011. When I try to open I-photo I get this message: Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable. My only option is to close down. I have shut down and re-started several times, no help. I have my photos backed up, so am not concerned about losing them, just can't get I-photo to work. Any ideas?

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. .

IPod Photo won't work at all...

my iPod Photo used to work just fine for over 6 months now... but suddenly it went dead.
I though that the battery needed to be charged, i plugged it in my powerbook but it wasn't recognized by the computer and it did not start charging. i plugged it in through power adapter and it won't charge again.
I tried to reset my ipod but nothing happens.
I can't restore or update the software, because my computer doesn't recognize ipod at all.
any suggestions?
I would really appreciate any...

Have you tried plugging it into the charger and leaving it overnight? I've read that if the battery is dead, this will happen. You won't see anything until the battery is sufficiently charged. This happened to mine once. My screen stayed off until the Ipod was sufficiently charged and then the screen came back on with a low battery level. Then, I left it on the charger overnight and it was okay.

3 week old 60gb iPod Photo won't work

I bought a 60gb iPod Photo approximately 3 weeks ago. Very, very happy with my purchase even with the release of the video enabled Pod recently.
Anyway - this morning it refuses to work. It won't power up. Nothing. Blank screen.
Have tried all the resetting suggested in Apple support. Nothing. It just won't power up under any circumstances. (Tried plugging it to AC as well)
Very frustrated.

Perhaps you should take it back to an Apple Store if possible, to have it checked.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
The trick is finding what data.
By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
Back up the system first of course,
Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
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.

I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, etc. Anybody at Apple listening?

10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
* and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
Shame on you Apple.

You might give VueScan a try. It should work with your scanner. There's a demo version that you can use initially.

I seem to have lost most of my 9000 photos when I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3. iPhoto won't work now and says it needs an upgrade not available in the UK. Only a few of the 9000 photos appear on Photos! HELP?

Move the incompatible iPhoto version to the Trash, before you try to reinstall from the AppStore, but don't empty the Trash.
update as described here:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore Purchases tab with ⌘R, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

I have bought the photo adapter for sd cards but it won't work on my ipad 2

What size GB is the SDHC card? Is this the Apple or 3rd party CCK?
Open the Photos app to see if the photos appear.

Camera app won't work camera works (FaceTime and photo booth, etc) but not in camera mode what is wrong and howmdominfix?

When I open the camera app all I get is a black screen. If I choose FaceTime or photo booth it works just fine so camera itself is fine. It seems to be the app that is not fine.
What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Quit the camera app completely and then try it again..
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Try the camera app again.

I have ipad wi-fi cellular. Photos won't open when I insert the SD Reader. I tried syncing photos through itunes and that didn't work either.What do I need to do to get photos on ipad?

Have ipad wi-fi cellular. Photos won't open when I insert the SD Reader. I also can't download photos from pc through itunes. Need help getting pictures on ipad.

For the SD card, are you copying the photos onto it yourself from your computer ? If you are then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
In terms of syncing photos, what happens when you try ? You should be able to sync photos by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side selecting the Photos tab - using that tab you should be able to select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

Attachments won't work or open

The attachments won't work or open and that means cant send photos or anything else

Do you mean you can't send attachments in e-mails or you can't open attachments you receive? Are you using the gmail app? Do you get any error message?
