I started the Iphoto update and it had been running for hours to upgrade my photo library

Today I ran my updates that were available.  One was for Safari and one was for Iphoto.  I restarted my computer and went to my Iphotos.  It has been showing upgrade for six hours and still nothing.  It just continues to show that it is upgrading my library.  I had not read anything about this as I trusted that it run would smoothly.  Now I am seeing that there have been problems and that I should have backed up my photos.  Is there hope that it is still trying to upgrade my photos?

It's not upgrading your photos, it's upgrading the Library.
Try force quit iPhoto (it's in the Apple Menu) and cross your fingers that there has been no damage.
If there has been damage post back.

  • Firefox is asking for software update and it's been running for 4 hours now?????? Is it for 4.0?? If so, I have gotten a pop up saying I already have it... I'm really concerned about this update??.

    What more do you need?????

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
    You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
    C:\Documents and Settings\&lt;user&gt;\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * 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 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox 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.

    Cancel the update and start over again. You will most likely have to restore the iPad now anyway.
    If you were using WiFi, try rebooting the iPad and see if by some miracle the download and install completes. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Try the download again.
    If that doesn't work, try using iTunes to update. But turn off your firewall and antivirus software before you update,

  • I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • 'iphoto will open as soon as the iphoto library is available. Time machine might be backing it up" - message been cycling for hours now. Can't access anything in photos

    Up till yesterday, our iphoto was working correctly. At one point, I noticed the slideshow wasn't displaying, so I opened iphoto and the message said there was a newer version, so I selected upgrade. The next message said the library needs rebuilding. Selected rebuild. Next,
    I got the message in the header, and it's been cycling for hours now with no result. I'm not computer friendly, so I could use some help.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I was wrong - the OS is 10.6.8. Is that old, too? I don't know where to find the version of iphoto I had and which one is trying to upgrade. Where would I find that. I restarted and still the same message.
    "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." selected upgrade:
    "iphoto is unable to open this library. The library has issues that require rebuilding. The iphoto library is missing required database files and must be rebuilt before it can be opened" selected rebuild:
    Next message is: "waiting for iphoto library...will open as soon as library is available. Time machine might be backing it up" and cycling.....
    During this time, the iphoto file is unavailable, all options greyed out.
    I have an external hard drive connected and time machine is on.
    Like I said, not literate with computers, so I hope I'm giving the right information

  • I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion.  I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!

    I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion.  I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!
    Please! I need an answer fast!!!!

    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. .

  • I just downloaded an iphoto update and when I tried to share my photos was asked for email and password.  I must have typed in the info wrong because I keep getting an error message.   I don't see how to change the info to the correct mistake..

    I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account.  On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account.  If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to.  It did not send to back up email account either.
    Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
    Can I have 2 apple ids?
    If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
    (won't let me)
    If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

  • Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please.

    Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
    I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

    Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

  • Wifi keeps scanning and dropping even after connected to home network.  Never had this issue until the update, and now my phone runs slow and terrible.  Horrible update!!  Any ideas on a fix?

    Wifi keeps scanning and dropping even after connected to home network.  Never had this issue until the update, and now my phone runs slow and terrible.  Horrible update!!  Any ideas on a fix?

    It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.
