IPhoto 9.3 stalls out during photo upgrade and won't upgrade photos.
After upgrading to Lion and updating iPhoto (9.3), I started to upgrade my photo library. It stalls during step 5 at 94%. I have let this go over night (8 hours) and it never completed the upgrade of photos. How do I fix this so I can use iPhoto and not lose my photos?
*** NEW UPDATE TODAY *** I have had the same problem - tried to upgrade library, got caught at step 5 of 9 and never could get past it. Have been wrestling w/ various workarounds for 2 weeks. Apple released an update today that resolves the issue. I just installed it from software update in system preferences. After the install/update I restarted my Mac (though it wasn't required). Then, 1) hold down option key while starting iPhoto; 2) select the library you want to upgrade; 3) iPhoto went through the library upgrade and opened without hanging up as it had in the past. Note, I used a library which had previously hung up forcing me to force-quit. It still worked fine. Good luck all.

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?

After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps. -
I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7. I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade. The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen. I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine. Any thoughts on how to get this working? Thanks
If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it. You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

When I view photos on my devices some are not oriented correctly. I used Picassa to turn all photos upright and then copied those photos into the upload file but they are still not corrected when viewed on my devices (ipads)
Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go. -

I recently turned off iCloud photo sharing and lost all the photos off my iPhone 4S. How can I get them back onto my phone?
IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 -

Hello, My Iphone is full with photos as it has my Photo library on it, I guess from Syncing it with my computer... How do I remove the photo Library and just keep the photos I take on my phone on my phone? Hope that is clear....
Same way they got on your phone, through the iTunes sync process. With your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Photos" tab, deselect the albums/folders/photos you do not want on your phone. Hit the "Apply/Sync" button & they will be removed from your phone.

I am having problems trying to backup my 9700. Whenever I try to do a backup, it seems to stall out about halfway through the status bar. I have even tried letting it run overnight & it still won't finish the backup. Is this normal?
I am running this on a new HP computer running Windows 7 & connecting my Blackberry with the USB cable. I have tried to uninstall & reinstall my desktop software. I have also tried running the backup with & without mass storage enabled.
How long is a typical backup supposed to take? I am begining to wonder if it is a problem with my device or even a third party app I have downloaded. Does anybody have any ideas?

Have you tried simply unpluging the power from the box for a minute or so?
If not, try that
If need be, unplug the power to the box, unscrew the COAX from the box to the wall, and check the pin in the middle to make sure it is not bent or broken... Do the same at the wall jack, if applicable... If all is well, plug it all back up, turn it on and test it out

CC C6 Programs stall out during installation?
I have purchased the CC CS6 but I am having a very difficult time with the AAM or with downloading and installation. Downloading from the AAM takes a lifetime even though I have a high speed connection. Then the installation always stalls out usually at the 29% mark and I can never finish the install. I have tried downloading the trial and then installing but the same thing happens. Its now been ten days since I purchased and I am getting very frustrated and may have to cancel the subscription. Another thing that I have noticed is that the stall usually occurs when the installer is trying to install AdobeHelp. I could use some help.. anybody have suggestions?

DVR menu stalls out during certain times of the day
Lately when I am trying to play or record a show from my DVR, I find that the menu stalls out and I am hitting the "OK" button to the point where my wrist hurts. I have turned the box off for a while, but it doesn't help. I find this only happens in the early morning or in the middle of the night. I watch my shows at those times as I am feeding a newborn baby. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks.

Upgraded and can't import photos
Hi There,
First, I have to admit that I have tampered with my iPhoto library. I didn't think it would have such dire consequences, as most apps are so user friendly and drag-and-drop friendly.
So, I'll try to give a concise explanation of what's happening. I don't think it's a dire situation, I'd just love to rebuild my library so that iPhoto is happy again.
1. Was running 10.2.8 with iPhoto 2.0.
2. About 6 months ago, renamed all of my folders in the library. Realized this was bad when iphoto lost all my pix, but managed to rebuild the library (not with original dates)
3. Last week, upgraded to Tiger (10.4). All of my apps seemed fine, except iPhoto. Still running version 2.0, and would crash on opening.
4. Installed iLife 04, upgraded iPhoto to 4.0.3. Now I can open iPhoto, (I held option and created a new library) but there are only 5 pictures in my library (ones that I have added from my camera since the upgrade).
5. I have a backup copy of my old iPhoto library on my desktop. when I try to import these photos, the bar says "working" for about a second, then the highlighted button in iPhoto switches from "import" to "organize". It just won't let me import anything from the old library. I tried to drag the old library folder into the new one (bad idea?) and that didn't work either.
6. Have considered taking all of the photos out of their library folder on the desktop and trying to import as individual jpegs. Is that a bad idea?
Any thoughts on how I can fix the mess I've made?
Any input appreciated...Julia:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As you've found out you've committed the cardinal sin of iPhoto, Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.
Version 4, when trying to import photos from another iPhoto library folder, imports the thumbnail files as well as the full sized files. Not a good thing.
I suggest you use iPhoto Extractor to copy all of the full sized files to the three new folders that will get created on your desktop by the application. Then you can import those three folders into your new library. Of course you will lose all of your roll, album, keyword information but you will have your photos back in a working library. When you have them all in your new working library and are satisfied that you got them all you can delete the old library and the three temp folders that got created.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

IPhoto 09: Won't open photos from thumbnails/won't DL photos from camera
I had a system wipe last night on my MacBook Pro. Apple reinstalled the OS 10.6.3. I transferred my back up from Time Capsule last night. Seemed to go without a hitch. This morning, I opened iPhoto and can see all of my events, but when I click on one, I can't see any of the photos in the editor or in the preview window. Only thumbnails.
Not only that, I can't upload photos from my Nikon Coolpix nor can I upload jpgs from my desktop (used to be able to easily). I get an "unreadable file" message. iPhoto is still preparing faces (15 minutes left). Is that why?
What shall I do?I, too, couldn't upload photos directly to iPhotos, even though it opened when I connected my Nikon Coolpix. I had to transfer them from Image Capture. But, either after an upgrade and/or using a different USB port, the camera icon again appears on iPhone and I am back to uploading directly to iPhoto. You might try a different USB port. BTW I didn't have the problem before Snow Leopard but it now seems to be resolved at least for me.

Upgraded to photos now itunes won't open photo library.
Had to restore photo library from Time Machine backup due to kids deleting it. Restored OK, opened Photos app and migrated library, works fine in photos app.
However in iTunes under the sync photos tab with iPhone, photo library is greyed out and I cannot select it.
Any ideas?Hello, bas.harbers.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that iTunes will not allow you to select and library to sync with after upgrading to Photos. It sounds like you may just need to set Photos as the system library preference. Here is the article that will walk you through this process.

Iphoto requires upgrade and won't open
Hello - I have been having trouble with my iPhoto for a long time. For the longest time it would say I need to upgrade, and then it would open, but now, it still asks me for an upgrade, but says it's either "in use" or not readable.
Hello there - so I am going to try my best to give you an entire view of all of my issues with iPhoto.
My Operating System: OSX Version 10.9.3
iPhoto Version 9.5.1
When I click on iPhoto App - a dialogue box pops up, "Your Photo Library Needs to be Upgraded" with options to either "quit" or "upgrade". I always choose "upgrade" as this has been happening for a long long time, and when selecting "upgrade" - it was opening fine. Since about 1 month or so ago, it no longer opens up after selecting "upgrade".
our photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable
Now what is happening, is a 2nd dialogue box pop ups indicating, "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable".
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup."
I have tried EVERY single option listed above at least 10 times, with no different outcome.
My iPhoto Library is on an external drive. What other information do you require, as I really concerned about losing all my pictures.
Thank you!!
