Have you tried to rebuild or repair your iphoto library or database? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
If you reinstall as long as you don't delete your iphoto library you'll be fine. You'll probably have to tell the new iPhoto which library to use after you reinstall though. Hold the option key down when starting iPhoto and select your library. Also just to be safe I would back up the iPhoto library BEFORE you do anything.

The iCloud backup does not include non-Tunes purchased music and photos that were synced to the iPod. The iCloud backup does not also included a few other things included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does also not included non-iTunes purchases and photos synced to the iPod.
free programs like iFunBox with copy non-iTunes purchased music and some other things from iPod to computer. A paid program like TouchCopy is needed to copy photos synced to the iPod to a computer.

If I uninstall iPhoto and reinstall it, will I lose all my pictures?

I bought my macbook (2011 model) used awhile ago. I have uploaded a couple of years worth of photos and never had a problem with iPhoto. Recently, I noticed iPhoto won't open with mac OS X. I tried updating it, but can't because instead of my apple ID, the previous owner's apple ID shows up. I read a few forums and it seems like the best advice is to uninstall, then reinstall iPhoto. If I do that, will I lose all my photos? I would really hate that because I don't have a lot of those photos already backed up because I'm stupid and don't think anything through. Please help me!

No, you won't. Back them up anyway.

have you backed up in the past with iTunes or iCloud? If so, it is possible that you will not lose this information, but I cannot guarantee anything.
Check for backups in iTunes by going to Preferences > Devices > Device backups
If you do not see any, and your iPad is still in working order, check for iCloud backups in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
Also, if your iPad is still in working order, you can backup with itunes before restoring : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

HT1925 My ipod is not showing up when I have itunes up. I was told to remove itunes and reinstall however. I receive a message with unable to uninstall the Itunes. It states "could not open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\INTERFACE\(915DA835-02FE-

I contacted the apple support and they could not help. has anyone gotten this error? Did some research some results show that this has occurred during updates on the itunes but has not seen how to successfully uninstall without getting this error. I attempted to use the control panel and uninstall but it provides me with the same error all the time. I NEED SOME Answers on this issue. Can you please help?!

Perhaps try the fixit from the following Microsoft web page. (Try the "problems uninstalling" option.)

I was doing the update for itunes and now I can't get into iTunes, the box that comes up says iTunes was not installed properly and I should re install it. I have thousands of songs on iTunes, will I lose all?

Whatis going on with iTunes. I can't get back on after doing an udate. It says the update failed, but I can't get back in to try again.

Go into Programs and Features and uninstall:
iTunes
Apple Application Support
Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Software Update
Reboot. Download a fresh copy of iTunes. Right click on the exe file and select Run as Administrator.
I did this and it reinstalled as if nothing happened. All of my songs, podcasts and playlists were still there.

I am organizing my mom's iPhoto. Can I delete her albums and then recreate them so they are accurate? Will I lose all the pics or will they stay in the photo library?

I am in the process of organizing my mom's iPhoto. She has so many albums that have incorrect photos in them that I would like to delete the albums and start over. If I do that and then organize her events accurately, can I then recreate the albums correctly?
Thanks

Yes, as long as you're sure it's albums you're deleting and not Events. lf you delete an Event you're deleting the photos as well.

Recently, my computer hard drive crashed. If I sync my iphone with the new commputer will I lose all the pictures on the iphone. I lost the music that was not saved on my itouch.

Recently my hard drive crashed. I had to get a new computer. I lost songs on my itouch. Will I lose the pictures on my iphone?

Ihas always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.

I just upgraded my OS X 10.6.4 to Mavericks and now my iPhoto '09 needs an upgrade. Will I lose all my photos if I do the upgrade?

I upgraded my two Macbook Pro's yesterday to Mavericks, from OS X 10.6.4. I can't seem to open iPhoto on ONE of them. I believe it's the same on both computers, iPhoto '09. So I went in the App store and clicked upgrade my iPhoto. Now it says the library needs to be upgraded to work with this newer version of iPhoto. Help! Am I going to lose all my photos?

I believe it's the same on both computers, iPhoto '09.
Check the iPhoto versions. The version number should be shown below in the "General" section of the Info panel, when you select iPhoto in the Finder and use "File > Get Info". With Mavericks you should be using iPhoto 9.5.1. You can buy the upgrade from the App Store.
Will I lose all my photos if I do the upgrade?
No, but never do an upgrade without making a backup of your computer, just in case something is wrong.
Your photos are in your iPhoto library. After installing the upgraded version, the iPhoto Library will be upgraded to a new format, when you open it the first time in iPhoto.
If you want to use your iPhoto Library on both your computers, the iPhoto version should be the same.

HT1222 I got an error message on the last Itunes update about a dll file not installing. I would need to reinstall the enire Itunes program. If I do that, will I lose my library?

Received error message during last itunes upgrade. Said dll file did not install. I should reinstall whole itunes program. If I figure out how to do that, will I lose my library?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

My husband(less technologically inclined than I am), decided to delete programs from our iMac, now it has a grey screen and won't get past it. If I insert the Application Install DVD, to repair the disk, will I loose all my pictures and music?

My husband(less technologically inclined than I am), decided to delete programs from our iMac, he turned it off and now it has a grey screen and won't get past it. It won't start in safe mode and when I If I insert the Application Install DVD, to repair the disk, will I loose all my pictures and music?

With a corrupt disk, the install procedure is most likely going to fail.
How old it the disk?
You might be able to reformat it to fix the problem. Of course that means you lose all of your data.
The other alternative is to get a new disk drive and put that in your Mac and install OS X
Then put the old disk drive in an enclosure and see what can be recovered from it.

What key(s) do i type to change language from english to other? i am writing s story in dual languages. i was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

what key(s) do it type to change language from english to other? i am writing a story in dual languages. I was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

Command Spacebar opens Spotlight as you have found out. If you want to change languages you need to say what app you are using to write the story in, I'm guessing you are using Pages or MS Word. If that's the case
Pages: Open Inspector - Click the T tab - Click Language and change your language.
MS Word: Tools Menu - Language - Choose your language.

My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy of iphoto?

It's probably the library that's the prolem and not the application. Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and open a new library then your existing library is damaged.
If that's the case, Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
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.

What does iTunes have to do with this? Also more specific information might be helpful.
What system and iPhoto versions are you running?
Where are you being asked to select a library? What kind of library, iPhoto or iTunes?
What do you see when you first launch iPhoto?
