Import into 9.3 can take a few hours... even more than 24h?

Hi,
recently I updated iPhoto to 9.3, after that it opened up telling me to upgrade my old iPhoto-database. All of the 9 steps were finished with 100%, the popup-window closed itself and now iPhoto is showing me a spinning wheel for over 24h now. In this forum someone wrote, that after the update process some other things have to be updated, too, and this could take up to an hour or two.
Some days ago i interrupted this process, and this resulted in a broken database, which iPhoto was unable to repair. Luckily, I had my latest backup at hands.
I am using a MacBook Air (2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), 4GB RAM, 30GB free space on my hard drive.
Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
iPhoto Version 9.3
iPhoto-Library: 94 GB
Should I wait another 24 hours? Can I switch back to iPhoto 9.2.x?
Thanks in advance
Andreas

Apple Hotline helped me out of this.
Start iPhoto with ALT-CMD keys until a popup appears,
select "repair photo library",
wait until it is finished,
start iphoto (it will crash),
start iphoto again with ALT-key pressed until another popup appears,
select your iphoto library from the file dialogue,
upgrade process begins,
upgrade process will finish,
iphoto restarts and rebuilds the miniature pictures,
everything is fine now...
Good luck
Andreas

    Hello darkhawk,
    Thank you for the recommendation.  I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one  - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
    Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
    If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

    Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

  • How can I return files in Trash, more than 1 at a time? I can place many files into Trash at a time.

    I placed many unix.exe files into Trash, more than one at a time. I recently updated 'QuickTime' and the Mac version of 'SilverLight"
    (name might be totally 'correct). I don't know if removing these files can impede my iMac 2008 running OS 10.6.8(updated SnowLeopard).
    I know I can 'return' one file from Trash at a time. When I try to return more than one ('mouse click' and 'drag'
    over 2 or more files, the'return' option isn't listed. Is there a way I can either 'return all' or return more than one file
    at a time?

    Only one at a time. But where are they from? Did you delete system files or are these Windows files (.exe is a Windows extension?)

  • How can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    how can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

  • Can you install logic express on more than one computer

    can you install logic express on more than one computer ?

    Be sure to read the End User Licensing Agreement for questions of this nature. You are allowed to install Logic on two computers that you own, for example an iMac and a MacBook Pro. You cannot, however, use the two computers at the same time if they are on the same network. You can use one computer as a Logic Node to shift some of the processing load (which you would likely do with an ethernet cable) but you don't need to have a full installation of Logic on the Node  machine, just the Logic Node installation. The idea of allowing two installations is so that you might take advantage of a portable  computer in the field for on-site recording then later transfer those files to a desktop studio set up for further editing.

  • Hello. I have an iPad2, and iMovie software. My main problem, for the moment, is the length of the videos: I can´t create a video with more than 56 seconds. When I try, the app shuts off... Can anyone help me?

    Hello. I have an iPad2, and iMovie software. My main problem, for the moment, is the length of the videos: I can´t create a video with more than 56 seconds. When I try, the app shuts off... Can anyone help me?

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

  • How can we create a table with more than 64 fields in the default DB?

    Dear sirs,
    I am taking part in the process of migrating a J2ee application from JBoss to SAP Server. I have imported the ejb project.
    I have an entity bean with 79 CMP fields. i have created the bean and created the table for the same also. but when i tried to build the dictionary, i am getting an error message as given below,
    "Dictionary Generation: DB2:checkNumberOfColumns (primary key of table IMP_MANDANT): number of columns (79) greater than allowed maximum (64) IMP_MANDANT.dtdbtable MyAtlasDictionary/src/packages"
    Is it mean that we can not create tables with fields more than 64?

  • How can a file be accessed by more than one app?

    Hi,
    I am new to iOS4 and the whole iPhone, iPod technology. I am really a windows user.
    How can a file be accessed by more than one app. In my case I want to transfer a midi file from my PC to my iPod Touch and be able to open it from a couple of Midi Players which I am evaluating - or does each Midi Player have to import the file seperately for its own use?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    It seems to me that what you want is exactly a session bean will do. The EJB container is responsible to maintain a certain number instances (configurable) of your session bean and serve multiple clients at the same time. Session beans are not necessarily destroyed after serving a client. If you configure your ejb server to have a pool size of 2 to 100, then you will always have at least 2 instances (no more than 100 even there are a lot of client access) of this ejb ready to serve. The only thing not clear to me is that do you want to use only ONE instance of this bean or you don't care as long as multiple clients can access this bean's service? Since you mentioned that there is not a real database access, you can certainly use a Singleton but a 'regular' session bean with static fields should do it also if these fields will not be modified by clients.

    Using Apple's camera connection kit, you can use a flash drive to IMPORT photos and videos. However, you can't EXPORT any type of file to the flash drive.

  • Can one datasource supply delta to more than one data targets?

    Can one datasource supply delta to more than one data targets?

    Hi Alok,
    You can assign only one infosource to one datasource but you can feed any number of data targets based on the requirement from that Infosource. It can be either Delta or Full load. But to do Delta, initially you need to do INIT and then go for Delta. If you have already done full load into a data target, you can go for INIT w/o data transfer there after continue with Delta.
    Hope this helps u...

  • How can I change all of (or more than one) speaker note to a voice at once?

    Hello... 
       I have a lot of speaker notes that I need to apply a specific voice to.  How do I apply the same voice to all of the speaker notes in the whole project at once?  Or at least more than one?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!   I am working with Captivate 6.

    Hi Vikram,
      Thanks. That tip definitely helps!  You just have to be careful when you use the CNTRL button and not highlight the name of the slide as you try to highlight the voices.  If you do that, then the drop down box becomes “unclickable”.  Unfortunately, when using the control button, it is sometimes impossible not to highlight the name of the slide as well.

  • How can I enter my podcast in more than one category?  Mine covers arts, education and society and culture, but is listed as "Performing Arts".  Thank you for your time!

    How can I enter my podcast in more than one category, to reflect the fact that it covers arts, education and society and culture?  Thank you for your time!

    You can have more than one category - this page shows you how the tags are formed:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#category
    The Store will list only the first category and its sub-category at the top of the page. Like the first category, the others will in theory make your podcast available for searching by category. However searching just on the category in the iTunes Store is most unlikely to throw up your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts out there, and it would be quite impossible to display on one page the entire list for any category. What you see are 'featured' podcasts, chosen by Apple as being special; please see this Tech Note:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#getfeatured
    Note that there is no way you can influence the selection other than making your podcast really special.
    If you have further questions about making your podcast it's better to ask them in the Producing Podcasts forum.
