IPhoto 4.0.3 HELP

Hi.
I can't get iPhoto 4.0.3 to work. I've tried suggestions from these discussion pages with no success. Things like finding/creating a library, rebuilding my library, disabled iPhoto plug-ins, repaired file premissions, cache cleaner, reinstalled my OS, etc... Nothing works.
One thing that "sort of" worked was posted by lori_diloreto: log into the computer as a new user and launch iPhoto. I tried this and it works. I am able to create a new library and import to it. She suggested this on several discussion pages as a last resort but the issue was resolved before she explained the next step...
Does anyone know what the next step would be so I could use iPhoto on my primary account?

I can't be more clear because I don't know what the problem is. My iPhoto is just not behaving the way it should. This is my second Mac with OS X and I know two ways to create a new Library and the results are the same in both senarios...
I have tried to create a Library by doing what you suggested. I get the box that says my iPhoto Library was not found. If I click "Create Library", it asks "save as" and "where" then iPhoto opens and says "Loading Photos" but never does (and will create an iPhoto Library with the "Library.iPhoto" and "Thumb32.data" docs).
The same thing happens when I try to create a new Library by starting iPhoto while holding the option key.
My first post indicated the one thing that worked was to login as a new user. I was asking what the next step was because I thought there was a next step to that process. Guess not?

  • I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?

    I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?
    iPhoto isn't in my applications to I can't drag it to dock.  All images and movies are still on Mac (heart did stop as I thought I'd lost everything and nearly cried) but I don't know how to get iPhoto back.  I'm worried about trying different things as don't want to lose anything on Mac.  Noticed that I haven't been using Time Machine and bought a couple of years ago so not sure what operating with.  I have our 2 CDs from when we bought the Mac - 13-inch Macbook Pro (Mac OS X Install DVD) and 13 inch MacBook Pro (Applications Install DVD).  My photos are not backed up so not sure if I need to do this first - can I back up to iCLoud or do I need newer software?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated - need lots of step by step instructions though!

    All images and movies are still on Mac
    Of course they are.  Deleting an app doesn't delete the files that's in it.

    Trying to make a photobook but can't get pages to open by double clicking. Photos from Iphoto 9.6. Help anybody?

    What do you mean? Are you not able to switch from "All pages" view of the book to a single page view by double-clicking a selected page? Or what is the problem?
    Or can you not open the book at all from the source list?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto tries to launch?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • My iPhoto apps is not working. says"iPhoto quit unexpectedly", any help?

    Any ideas how to fix this error?

    If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • ITUNES,iPHOTO and Apple TV               HELP

    I am trying to sync my photo library on my Mac to Apple TV. While in Itunes, I select Apple TV, click on photos and then "choose folder". The problem is that my "iphoto" file, where my pictures are, is grayed out.
    How do I select the file of my choice or how do I get my iphoto file not grayed out. How does itunes select by default, the proper picture file.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Brad

    *The later. I use the "Choose Folder"option. When I navigate to the libray, it is grayed out so I cannot select.*
    I do not know what libray itunes is choosing by default. The album listy displayed is not the one I want to use. Since Iphoto does not have a "save as" feature, I cannot determine what library iphoto saves to. Very strange and a departure from normal file management(editorial).
    I have put a photo library, one that I know id the correct libray, on drive 1. When I go there, it is grayed out.

  • I can't delete my Photos in iPhoto 5.  Please help.

    I ran iPhoto diet and iPhoto didn't work after running the app. I dragged my backup iPhoto Library back into the Pictures folder and launced iPhoto. It works fine, except that when I choose a photo in the Library and try to trash it...it won't trash. Help.

    sorry...i think i finally understand.
    after emptying my trash, all of the anomolies disappeared from my library. it is still not intuitive. over the past year, when i deleted a photo from the library it was gone. i suppose the upgrade to 5, the backing up....they all contributed to this situation.
    the takeaway is that iPhoto is not as simple as it seems

  • HT1338 Updated my imac from 10.6 to 10.8.2 recently. My iphoto logo in my Dock has been replaced with a transparent "question mark" and I can no longer access my iPhotos... please help!!  Mark Howell

    Why can I no longer find my iphotos?  Updated from 10.6 to 10.8.2 recently... The iphoto logo in my dock has been replaced with a transparent, grey, question mark... why? How do I restore my iphotos?  Searched for them in Finder, and in "search"... they appear as text only.. but no photos.. please help.. Mark

    Have you verified that the iPhoto applications is not in the Applications folder or somewhere else on the hard drive? 
    To do so download and use  Find Any File to search for "iPhoto.app" because FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't.  If the application is somewhere else on the HD FAF will find it.  However, I doubt that it will be there but it's worth a search.

  • Successfully imported pictures from camera, backed up on external hard drive but now there is no sign of the pictures on hard drive or Iphoto...PLEASE HELP???

    I successfully imported 2 photo shoots from my camera.
    Once imported, as always, I saved the photos onto my external hard drive.
    Normally I would also keep the images on my camera until I have finished the job and handed the finished product to the customer although on this occasion I had to delete them due to an extensive shoot and the need for space.
    Last night I was hoping to start editing the shots so opened up my hard drive to find the 2 folders there but both were empty! I then opened up Iphoto and I can't locate them anywhere. My library only seems to date back to July. Could this mean my Iphoto is full so has not saved the images and they are now lost forever???
    I've checked all my trash cans etc to ensure they haven't been accidentally deleted and they haven't.
    Please help?!?!?!
    Many thanks in advance

    quit iPhoto and delete the iPhoto preference file ("your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist) - launch iPhoto and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the location of the iPhoto library repoint to it

  • Iphoto Problem with Mavericks, Help!!!!

    i have updated to OS Mavericks to my mac book pro 13" mid 2009 but iphoto (Version 8.1.2) does not work. Sometimes it opens the program but other times it simple does not work. Help!!!

    Did you try to launch iPhoto from the icon in the dock?
    If so, that icon may be linked to old version. Move it out of dock. Drag in fresh icon from applications folder.
