IPhoto '11 (9.3) - Won't upgrade library after update to 9.3 (gets stuck on Step 5)
Two weeks ago I upgraded iPhoto to 9.3 using the automatic Apple updater. Thereafter, when I try to re-start iPhoto, iPhoto automatically attempts to upgrade the library using multiple steps. Each time the process gets stuck on one of the steps, hanging for as long as I'd let it. Force quit doesn't show the process/application as not responding, but I can kill the applicaiton and try again.
I see this is a somewhat common occurrence (for example, here), but I haven't yet found a solution that works, at least not for me.
Since this problem has started occurring, the process tends to get stuck at the end of step 5:
I have tried multiple solutions, including holding down alt/option or control when starting iPhoto for force a rebuild of the library (same result). I reinstalled iPhoto from the App store (same result). I went back to a version of my iPhoto library from before the problem started using a Time Machine backup of the iPhoto Library (same result). And in response to some threads suggesting removing the files like com.apple.iPhoto.plist (see here) but I can't find any "com.apple.iPhoto.*" files on my HD. Interestingly (maybe) I don't have a HD -> Users -> Home -> Library directory at all. I only have a HD -> Library directory (although perhaps this is where it shows up for my primary account when I'm using this account).
I'd be very grateful for any help/suggestions/guidance.
For example, is there a log file showing the date that I upgraded to the newest iPhoto release so I can be sure I'm restoring an older iPhoto library? Any other ideas?
Many thanks!

I have try to do few things like rebuild library, intalling old version etc. at the end always i got images and events but I loose folders and albums.
So finally
I bought external drive to make a copy of my images
I found my old backup of MAC OS X before upgrade to Lion and install them
All folers are existing so now I can imoprt only images from last two months and rearrange them into folders.
I will stay with version 9.2.3 and wait at least 1-2 month before I will install any new update from Apple.

I have lost my itunes library after updating it. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling it and it gets so far then tells me that it cannot be installed because MSVCR80.dll is not installed on my pc. I have no idea what this is and have googled it, followed links to sites that say they can fix it, only for them to scan, tell me I have 3 thousand issues and then want me to pay $30 dollars to fix it for me. This message also appears on firing up my pc too.
Can anyone help please?I've been through the exact same thing and cannot seem to get an answer here. When you go to Manage Storage, does it have something at the top like "19.1 GB of 25 GB available"? I only have a Mail account with 5.3 GB in it and a Backups account with 553 MB in it. Obviously, these don't add up to 19.1 GB. There was no change in any of these numbers when I deleted all the same files you mention. With the free Mobile Me storage expiring next month, this is something I'm pretty concerned about.

I upgraded to itunes 10.7 and now when I try to sync my iphone 5 it gets stuck in step 6 of 8 determining tracks. I reload 10.7 and rebooted everything. What do i do?
Had the same thing happen to me when I tried syncing my iPhone this a.m. - talked to Apple 7 hours ago and evidently there's an "issue" with the iTunes server. The Apple adviser told me to try syncing in an hour. Well, rather than do that, I've continued to check Twitter, searching on "itunes sync" or "itunes server" - seems the problem's still going on.
I'm going to wait it out til tomorrow. Or whenever.
The REASON I was synching is that ever since the iOS 5 "upgrade" photos that were in albums synced from iPhoto had disappeared. Not all the photos, just all the photos in some albums. Weird.
Too many bugs in iOS 5 (syncing, Bluetooth connectivity, etc.). They should have waited til it was right before releasing it. -
Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
Please tell me I am not the only one!!
...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
Very appreciated,

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?
Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?
Hi Mike
This is called a kernel panic, similar to s 'blue screen of death' on Windows. When you say you reinstalled 3 times, do you mean the OS or the Update?
When does this kernel panic appear? You may have a hardware issue if it's happening on boot.

Problems upgrading library after downloading an update
I downloaded an update for my iPhoto (4.0.3), and the next time i tried to open iPhoto it said i needed to upgrade my library.... i said okay, and it started, but seemed to get stuck at some point.... the estimated time started going up and up until it was saying like 30 hours, and my whole computer slowed down until i had to force quit iPhoto. I've tried a few more times since and the same thing happened. I have about 5000 photos in my library.
Any help would be much appreciated! Why is it getting stuck?!It sounds like you tried to apply an iPhoto 5 updater. There have been reports that, while the update will not succeed, it sometimes does change something in the iPhoto Library folder before it fails to find an appropriate version to update.
You will need to quit iPhoto and move the existing iPhoto Library to the desktop. Start iPhoto and have it create a new library, then quit iPhoto again. What that does is create a library that's compatible with your version of iPhoto.
Next, drag the old iPhoto Library folder from the desktop, and drop it inside the newly created iPhoto Library folder. You'll then have your original iPhoto Library folder inside the new iPhoto Library folder.
Finally, start iPhoto while holding the option+shift keys to force iPhoto to rebuild the library. Don't release them until you're prompted to confirm the intent to rebuild. Click "Yes", then click "Save".
You'll have to reconstruct albums and keyword associations. -
Over half of my music disappeared from my music library after updating to itunes 10.7
I use a Windows 7 operating system. Since updating my iTunes to the latest version, 10.7, over half of my music has disappeared from my music library. All 851 songs remain on my iPod, but my library shows only 187 songs after syncing my iPod with iTunes. Also, while trying to sync my iPod to my iTunes, I'm constantly being asked to authorize my computer (it's already authorized) and an unknown email address displays in the account sign-in window to sign in when trying to sync my iPod. I did not have these issues with iTunes before updating to the recent version. Any help is appreciated!
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Windows/iTunes won't recognise iPod after update.
So I updated to the latest iTunes the other day and now just yesterday I plugged my iPod in for the first time in a few weeks.
It said something about upgrading to ISO4.0 so I downloaded the update. Everything seemed fine - was working no problem, downloaded and then went onto install. It mentioned something about an error occurring and not being able to back up my files. I didn't want to lose everything so I just cancelled that but it went ahead and did something anyway.
Then it all went a bit fuzzy. The iPod displays this image:
http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECAREALLGEOS/HT1808/HT180803.png
Even though it was connected and such. The PC (Dell inspiron 1501 - Service Pack 3 - XP Pro) went on to try installing new hardware for the USB device but fails every time with the message "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software."
Now the iPod is stuck at the same screen I mentioned earlier and though I've tried restarting, restoring, recovery etc... Nothing works. It's just stuck like that - I've tried restarting my computer, reinstalling iTunes and the MSCONFIG thing this Apple support recommends. The only thing I can now think of is to try the iPod on someone else's computer.
But I'm unable to do that any time soon so I've come here first - should that actually work and solve my iPod being "stuck", what steps can I take to solve the obvious incompatibility with my own computer now? And should it not work, what do I do about the iPod? Cause I can't see a way of fixing it right now...
Cheers,
JonnyMy brother-in-law is having the same issue on his Win XP machine. Hoping to get some help here.
