ILife '08 won't install, iPhoto 7.1 won't launch now either

Upgrading from iPhoto 7.1 to iLife '08. When I try to run the application installer, all looks good and then it unexpectedly quits. No error, no log, just quits and says to try again. Did this a few times, checked the system requirements and I'm good there. Tried to install just iPhoto '08 and that crashes too.
So I went to see if my old iPhoto still worked and now that will not start either. I will paste the crash log bellow. I tried repairing disk permissions and verified that worked. I'm copying over my entire iPhoto library to a backup disk now (30GB), as soon as it's done i'll trash iPhoto, iMovie and iDvd from the applications folder and see if the install will work then. Not holding my breath though. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Upgrading from iPhoto 7.1 to iLife '08.
No such upgrade. iPhoto 7 and iPhoto 08 are one and the same application. (Confusing? Don't be ridiculous!)
That crash log tells us that iPhoto is missing some important files. You need to re-install the iLife apps.
Go to HD/ Library / Receipts and remove any pkg file there with any of the following
iLife
iPhoto
iDVD
iWeb
iMovie
GarageBand
in the name. Then trash the apps from the Applications Folder and re-install.
Though this process should not affect your data always back up first.

Downloaded Acrobat Pro 7 from Adobe site, won't install, errors out, what do I do now?

I had Acrobat Pro 7 on my old XP machine. I bought a new Win7 machine. Went to install Acrobat on it from the old CD, with original serial no. Wouldn't activate, said "activation server not available". Went to the Adobe site, that error page linked to a download of an .exe for Acrobat Pro 7 not requiring activation, providing password. So yeah, I thought . . . .Did the whole thing, but the install errors out, every time, and offers no workaround. So I am stuck. Error popups attached. Any guidance appreciated. I bought the original program, I'm legit.
The error messages are the usual opaque stuff, I have no idea how I would verify that I have access to a directory that the installer just now created on my hd . . . Why wouldn't I?
I REALLY really need the Adobe pdf printer driver for all my apps, particularly Sibelius, PDF995 drops things . . . .

OK, thanks both, yes I have 64-bit so there goes that reliable printer.
HOWEVER, the URL that 2.Bill gave me is exactly where I downloaded their exe from, the one that *won't install. If you read my post, I am looking for how to make that installer work; I found the folder listed in both error messages, but neither of the referenced files are there, only a similarly named .dll.
And when I go to delete the entire Acrobat 7 folder so I can start over (I did uninstall it after my install from disk that wouldn't activate), the system tells me I do NOT have access to delete it, I need permission from SYSTEM. But I am the only user on my new PC and as far as I know I have admin rights.
I waded into the Security settings for the folder, but the system won't let me change them. This is . . . counterintuitive . . .
I am out of my depth.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks for listening,
Davod

Installed iPhoto library on NAS external HDD - now I cannot access it.Help.

I initially had no problems with accessing photos from iPhoto but now when I open iPhoto I get a message "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." and then "Your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened.Please restore from a backup."
I cannot even see the individual files when I access the share on the NAS drive whether I mount it as smb or afp.
Any way to recover my photos?

Simon
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.

Won't install iPhoto and iMovie updates

I really hate the apple. I can't open my iPhoto because I downloaded OS X months ago. I am sick of the App Store icon showing I have two updates - iPhone and iMovie - that I can NOT update. Also I am blocked from getting into iPhoto to boot!!!!
Here's what's on the screen when I try to update these programs.
Update Unavailable with this apple ID.
This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
WRONG! I purchased this computer and did not return, cancel, or refund one thing in it.
And now the next notice:
We could not complete your request.
There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)
Someone please tell me how I contact the App Store? And why doesn't the store fix itself?
I hate my computer.
Thank you.

This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
iPhoto came preinstalled on your new Mac, right?
Did the Apple Store help you to set up the Mac? Did anybody else help with setting up the Mac? You might accidentally be using an iPhoto version, that you accepted on another Mac with another AppleID. If you only have one AppleID and nobody else helped with setting up the Mac, then the Apple Store may have made a mistake and sold you a refurbished Mac or second hand mac, that has already been setup by someone else. Can you upgrade iMovie? There might be the same problem.
Apple Support should be able to check the Serial Number of your Mac, and see, if it has been previously bound to a different AppleID.

10.7.2 won't install, 10.7.2 won't install

Update worked on my iMac, however when I tired to update on my MacBook I'd run into some problems. The update would go smoothely until the system would go to restart and install and then would stop and say that it could not continue because the OS X may have been corupted during download. Then I'd be foreced to restart and try again. I've also tried directly dl'ing the dmg from Apple, when I go to mount it, it says "invalid checksum" been scouring the net for solutions but have come up short. Any help would be great! thanks!

I figured I'd go back to my hacking cracking ways and try and get a hold of a fresh original copy of Lion from July, and then crack out a bootable disk from the image if I could get one. Unfortunately, this will only work if you bought the update. This is what worked for me-
Instructions:
1) Open the App Store
2) Click on the featured tab
3) Hold the OPTION key on the keyboard and click on the "PURCHASED" tab.
(normally, in the list of purchased items, the OS X Lion purchase will be 'grayed-out' and listed as INSTALLED)
4) Holding option andd clicking will allow you to redownload the OS X Lion download- My download constantly was getting a "Hash" error but would allow me to "retry" and keep the download coming
5) The update installed normally after a long download from the App store
When the install rebooted, there was an Aperture update and an iTunes update that popped up. The iTunes update installed fine. The Aperture update reported the same old damaged when downloading error. After my third try, I went to the downloads page and pulled down the update .dmg and all installed fine.
hope this helps.

IPhoto Not Seeing, Not Auto Launching with Either Canon PowerShot

Suddenly iPhoto on my MacBook Pro does not see and does not automatically download images from Canon S5 IS nor from my PowerShot A640.
I reinstalled iLife '08 but that made no difference.
Just to check, iPhoto saw and uploaded as normal from a Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 (different cable but same USB on the computer end of it.)
To check the Canon cables, I tried the cable that came with the S5 and the one that came with my PowerShot A640. Neither cable works.
Also, when I connect the cable, it disables the scroll wheel, i.e. camera will not scroll through photos stored in it.

Hi David. This is a post I made in early Dec. Hope it helps. Best regards.
Hi discussions. This is just an answer to a problem I was having and might be helpful to anyone having iPhoto camera connection problems. First off, I have four apple computers; three running 10.4.11 and one, a new 2.8ghz MacBook Pro, running 10.5.5. The Canon 750 Elph is two months old. From the beginning it has connected to my desktop DP 2.5ghz G5 PPc, my 12" 1.5ghz G4 Powerbook (both running 10.4.11) and now the MacBook Pro. It would not connect to my wife's 17" 1.33ghz G4 Powerbook running 10.4.11. System Prefs identified the Elph connected to the usb high speed bus so I knew that the usb ports were operational. Image Capture stated; No camera connected. As always, all updates had been performed and permissions run. I trashed iPhoto '08 along with its prefs and all iPhoto receipts. I then reinstalled iPhoto '08 and ran permissions. Still no connection. It was time for Apple Discussions. I followed a thread from some weeks ago to try rebuilding the iPhoto library. I saved and rebuilt. No connection. My apologies for not remembering the user in the thread who stated that a reinstall of the last OSX combo update might do the trick. He was speaking of the 10.5.5 combo update so I figured it should be the same for the 10.4.11 combo. I did not know that you could install an update over the existing OS which has already been updated. I am always learning. BINGO! The Elph connected immediately. Thanks to APPLE DISCUSSIONS, I still have a bit of hair left and a wife who loves me. I hope maybe this post will save the hair of someone else.

How to install iPhoto for Macintosh HD?

I get a message that Macintosh HD version on my MacBook Pro is out of date, so it won't install iPhoto! What can I do to install iPhoto, or what other app can I use to edit photos and create a slide show?

What happens when you try to download iPhoto 9.6 from the App Store? If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login with your Apple ID.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

Zen Xtra fails PlaysForSure Firmware update - Now it won't install a firmw

Zen Xtra 40 - Was upgrading from .30 firmware to 2.0.03 to support WMP and VistaFirmware Upgrade to Failed to Complete
Downloaded and ran PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03
It identified my Zen Xtra and started the upgrade, Zen Xtra rebooted and just sat there. 2 hours later I disconnected Zen Xtra and its in Recovery Menu. Reboot says Firmware Problem and goes to the recovery menu again.
If I plug it back into my system it says it found a 20mb 'Portable Device' MTP and lets me open the device but nothing is on the 20mb partition.
If I run PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03 again it says I must plug in the device, even though its definitely plugged in and recognized as an MTP device.
Seems like the PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03 isn't designed to identify the device after a partial upgrade? Tried older .30 Firmware install program, it can't identify the device either. Device shows up in Device Manager as Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra using a Microsoft Driver.
I've installed the latest JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US_2_0_00.exe drivers and it does not help. Device still detects as a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. If I uninstall Windows Media Player it won't install any drivers and won't accept the PCW Driver either.
Where can I get a firmware updater that will function when my Zen Xtra wants to be an MTP device?I tried another computer with WM9, just PCWDRV 2.0 drivers, and it will not detect and install the drivers when I plug the device in. Says it can't find suiteable drivers for this device.
Tried Cleanup, Reload OS, Reboot.
Boot v.4 and HW v0.0. Any ideas?

Wow after searching hundreds of documents on this forum I got my firmware updated
!!! I took my notebook, which I had recently upgraded from WMP9 to WMP after I could not get it to recognize and upgrade my Zen. I uninstalled WMPI uninstalled WMP RuntimeRebootedI went to Microsoft and get WMP0 specificallyInstalled it and closed itI ran the ZenXtraPS4Audible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exeOn the Zen I selected Reload OS, I click to have it reload OS, while it was doing that I plugged it into the notebook. The Firmware Tool Detected the Device again!!Current version 2.0.03Upgrade will be 2.0.03I click Upgrade!?It upgraded this time!!?The bummer is ALL MY MUSIC is wiped off my device. I didn't format it, but I guess the upgrade does it for you. Which means I just lost hundreds of dollars worth of songs since WMP doesn't have a license transfer and all my music was on the ZEN. So even though I have the files on my computer, they won't play because I don't have the license any longer.

ITunes won't install. PLEASE. HELP. URGENT.

iTunes won't install. My PC got reformatted. Now, I can't install iTunes. I've been trying to install it for like 3 months now, then it still won't. I've tried to remove it completely, following the guidelines Apple has given. AND ALMOST EVERYTHING.
Then the other day, I was really really happy that I got it installed, I removed AVG Anti-virus from the PC and turned off ThreatFire. I thought that was the end of my problem, then yesterday, when I opened iTunes it won't work again! So I tried to re-install it, following every guideline. Still, it won't install! In the installing process, around "Registering iTunes automation server", I ALWAYS get the message "Some of its required files are missing. Please re-install."
I REALLY DO NEED YOUR HELP.

Describe what happens when you try to open iTunes - do you see anything? If there is an error message give it in full.
If there is no error message open the task manager (ctrl alt del) and look on the processes tab, do you see iTunes.exe there and does it stay there.
Try opening Quicktime - does that work normally, iTunes cannot work if QUicktime doesn't. If it doesn't work, describe what happens and give any error message.

Iphoto 9.1 won't open after install of ilife'11

I recently installed ilife'11 to my macbook - iphoto installed and then kept unexpectedly quit. I upgraded to iphoto 9.1 but now it iphoto says it is not compatible. Help!

Won't upgrade iphoto library after install of iphoto 6!

I keep getting an error message that says "library can't upgrade because current user doesn't have access" .
This happens after I installed iphoto 6, everything seems to have gone fine, but then after waiting 10 mins from my previous library to update, I get that message. (my friend burned me the ilife 6 dmg. file which is what I used to upgrade from previous iphoto)
My question is, can I just delete any existing iPhotos and just start from scratch and install iPhoto 6 all over again? In other words, instead of trying to use my friends burned dmg. file. can I just erase everything and start from scratch by purchasing the iLife 6 Install DVD??
I won't lose all of my pictures right? I've backed them up via an external harddrive and they are also in my pictures folder as well.
I just want to know if I can erase iphoto (by placing in trashing can) and starting fresh with the iphoto 6 install DVD.
any help would be great.....right now I'm stuck in limbo, and can't order new prints or anything

eeshell
(my friend burned me the ilife 6 dmg. file which is what I used to upgrade from previous iphoto)
This is an infringement of the licence for iPhoto.
can I just erase everything and start from scratch by purchasing the iLife 6 Install DVD??
Yes, but also delete the pkg files with iphoto in the name in HD/Library/receipts
I won't lose all of my pictures right? I've backed them up via an external harddrive and they are also in my pictures folder as well.
This is correct.

IPhoto and iDVD won't open after I reinstalled iLife '08

I was unhappy with iMovie '08, so I tried to load an older version from my iLife '05. However, it copied over all of my iLife '08 apps. I was hoping it would give me the option of just installing the iMovie app. Everything opened except for iPhoto and iDVD. I then reinstalled iLife '08, to try and fix the problem, from the bundled software that came with the computer. But still, iPhoto and iDVD don't open. Here's what iPhoto report says...

delete all of your iLife applications and your iLife receipts - do not do anything with your iPhoto library
Install iLife '08 and go to the Apple downloads page and download iPhoto 06 (a free download for iLife '08 owners) and install it and you will have the best of both worlds iLife '08 and iMovie 06

I had original iPhoto app from 2007, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater. My pictures are lost in the abyss.

Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

ILife '08 won't install, iPhoto 7.1 won't launch now either
