Iphoto 6 doesn't launch after recent system auto software upgrade

I recently purchased and downloaded the new version of iLife 6 with no problems. After a recent software update message to download new info for iPhoto6 was completed, I am unable to launch iPhoto 6 now. It continues to crash on ever launch. I have tried to recreate but iphoto will not stay open to recreate photos in the library. I appreciate your advise! Thank you

Are you seeing blank thumbnail or no thumbnails at all? Your original image file should be in the Originals folder of the iPhoto Library folder. Check in it and its subfolders. If they are there then you know your files are save.
If you have blank thumbnails try the following:
1 - download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
If that's doesn't solve the problem I'd try creating a new library by rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It does not change or modify your current library but copies the files and data it needs from the old library. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/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: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
Good luck.

IPhoto doesn't launch after iLife '06 reinstallu

I did a clean system (10.4.11) reinstall, then reinstalled iLife '06 and then updated all the software. None of the iLife apps will launch - iWeb at least gives me an alert that files that iLife needs are missing but iPhoto just does nothing. I've backed up my iPhoto library so they are safe, but I can't even begin to get to them because iPhoto does nothing when I try to launch it. Any ideas?

Thanks, Terence. I'd already reinstalled again, but tried removing all plists and other supporting files from both the system library and user library folders. Same result. iMovie launches, iPhoto does nothing. iWeb gives an alert box that says files are missing and to reinstall iLife. It acts like it's trying to upgrade rather than reinstall,even though my disk is an "iLife '06 Install DVD".
I'd be grateful for any ideas!
thanks...

My iPhoto doesn't work after installing lion?

My Iphoto doesn't work after installing lion.
it suggest that I have to instal iphoto again.
where can I find this

If it suggests that you install iPhoto again, install iPhoto again. In your Macs Box that it came in there should be 2 Discs, one is an Applications CD (You need this one) And another is the Mac OS X.
Insert your Applications CD and hold C while the computer is starting up, then you will be walked through the installation of Applications.

Lightroom CC 5 doesn't launch after 2014 update.

Lightroom CC 5 doesn't launch after 2014 update. Mac OSX 10.8.5. Tried the suggestion to log out of Adobe Cloud and log back in. Also rebooted computer. No luck. Photoshop CC 2014 seems to have installed perfectly. Can't install previous version either, can't even find it via Adobe Cloud. Tried re-downloading from Adobe web site but it sits there saying "downloading now" -- but nothing is downloading!

Charr please see Not able to launch Lightroom after updating it to 5.5 from Creative Cloud for possible solutions to allow Lightroom to open.

Iphoto doesn't open after update MAC OSX 10.6.8, error message says: library not loaded

iphoto does not open after software update.
i am using MAC OS X 10.6.8
it says: library not loaded,...reason image not found
EXC BReakpoint (sigtrap)

It's missing background frameworks:
Library not loaded:/library/frameworks/ilifepagelayout.framework/versions/a/ilifePageLayout
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Iphoto doesn't work after Yosemite update.

Here is a screenshot of the problem. You can't see the pointer from the picture but it is actually stacked on the loading part. I tried to close Iphoto several times because it was not responding (Force quit), but it was unsuccessful, every time I open the application is still like this. Any suggestion?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a 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?
add your screenshot via the Camera icon in the toolbar?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Battery wont charge after recent system update

My bluetooth device errored and I had to download the drivers again so thought I'd update my system at the same time with some of the latest Lenovo updates - Terrible mistake!
Lenov have changed their power management so that it "may not support batteries that are not genuine Lenovo-made or authorised" . What they mean is we're gonna screw you over!
My compatible extended life battery that I've happily used for over 6 months now does not now charge and I use my laptop for business and often on the go so battery is imperative.
My laptop is out of Lenovo warranty so I am utterly disgusted they are trying to force me to pay nearly £200 (which I dont have) for their own batteries when it should be totally my choice. It's monopolisation surely! It's not that I have bought a non compatible battery that doesn't work, its the change in software through upgrade that they have forced this upon me and I am seething to say the least.
Is it possible to go back a version of power manangement (I presume it's power management software) so that i can live happily ever after?
This is an urgent problem for me so please, anyone?
Richard

The warning in the power manager have said so for ages, and doesn't mean that your charger won't charge third-party batteries. It just means that Lenovo doesn't take responsibility for third-party batteries, and can't guarantee that charging will work with third-party batteries.
If it suddenly doesn't charge at all, there's probably something else wrong - it's not the power manager update.

IPhoto doesn't start after update

I did some updates including for iPhoto this morning.
After that my iPhoto stopped working!
My mac is OSX 10.6.8
Can anybody help me???

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

Lightroom 5.5 CC doesn't launch after Update

Hello,
I used Creative Cloud to download all the new 2014 updates of which LR 5 was an update. All the downloads and installs reported being successful. I opened PS CC 2014 and it launch and loaded just fine. However, LR 5 launches the flash screen for about 2 secs, but doesn't launch. I've try to go to Creative Cloud to download and reinstall, but it has LR 5 as installed and won't let me re-download and install. I also tried going to the new creative cloud adobe site and tried downloading it there, but is comes up with a message that the link requires a launch program ... have no idea what the program is. Totally baffled with this new Cloud set up! Your help is greatly appreciated.
Dennis

I have the same issue. I don't even get a 2-second flash. My question might be slightly different though. I have the Creative Cloud with Photoshop CC and I owned the 5.4 version of Lightroom. I was surprised to see the Lightroom update available in Creative Cloud. While the Photoshop kept my old CC it removed my old Lightroom and installed the new version. I believe there is a problem with the Lightroom.exe file. So I removed the program, rebooted and re-installed. Same thing.
Could this be because my Creative Cloud subscription has not been updated to include Lightroom?
And yes it is a critical flaw.

Downloading new photos - iPhoto doesn't work after upgrading to Yosemite

Hello,
Since I upgraded to Yosemite, iPhoto has stooped working after downloading photos from my Sd card.
Some picutres downloaded are black while some others are ok, but in any case I have to restart my iMac because every apps running can't be used anymore.
That happens only with iPhoto, after downloading, instead normally it works.
Now I use Aperture and everything is fine but I'd like to figure out why iPhoto acts like that.
Do I have to trash it?
Thank you.

There have been a number of reports on here from folks with Raw issues after updating.
This thread:
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
explains how to delete and reinstall Raw support. It has worked for others.

Unstable finder since recent (~4/20) 'software upgrade"

PB G3 aluminum 15" with OSX.4.11
Recent automatic 'software upgrade' on ~4/20/09 has rendered my G3 PB unstable.
Software included new Safari, iTunes, Security, etc.
In ANY other program window, etc. the PB now shifts back to the FINDER about every 10-15 seconds .... rebooting the entire finder each time.
Is there any way to delete or modify or remove these 'upgrades' ... so that I can get back to 'normal' operation. This computer is being used to control ALL software/instrmentation on a boat that is traveling the high seas (through the 3rd world) and its function vitally important (for navigation, safety etc.) that I return back to a 'stable' OS.
HOW DO I DELETE OR REMOVE THESE RECENT 'SOFTWARE UPGRADES' ???????????????
All 'extraneous' items such as 'sleep', screen saver, etc. have been turned off ... without result.
Will appreciate ANY help given.

Hi Richard, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Let me define the 'instability' present with the finder .... every 15 or seconds, and no matter which program/application Im working, the finder reboots itself and the finder comes to front of the stack of windows (sorry to use that word). All applications 'default' to the finder being listed in apple menu bar; the applications are still active but the finder becomes the 'dominant' window at every ~seconds.
Most likely it's Stuffit AVR, though a few others have been implicated see if System Preferences has a Stuffit Pref Pane. click stop...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1873700&tstart=0
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
