IPhoto 9.4.2 Library Update failed

I have upgraded iPhoto from version 8.1.2 to version 9.4.2-
When I start iPhoto it requests a Library update.
The update starts but after some seconds the program gets killed.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IPhoto '11 crashes on library update

iPhoto '11 crashes on library update: "using the Avilmporter plug-in"
Problem is, I don't have this plug in.
Any suggestions?

1. Also here, iPhoto crashed when updating the library from iPhoto 09. 94 GB, 16000 pictures in the library. With full crash report - more than I understand.
2. Went back to my TM backup an iPhoto 09. Rebuilt library. Installed iPhoto 11, same thing.
3. Repeated and installed 9.0.1 before updating the library, same thing. What is left of the library is only some 3 MB.
4. Full OS install with users and programs from TM backup. Same thing. Only now I have permission issues as well.
5. Now I have 9.0.1 and my library and am waiting for another update before going through the whole exercise again.

HT204570 iCloud Photo Library Update Failing

I have a large library of photos that I'm adding to iCloud --17K+ from my MacBook Pro (running Yosemite). The upload is failing, though, and I'm getting pretty frustrated. The upload appears to be working for a few minutes and then randomly, and for no apparent reason, iCloud Photo Library disables itself (unchecked) and the updating is paused. I have the ability click the Resume button but it doesn't resume the upload-- it still indicates that "iCloud Photo Library updating is paused". Restarting the Photos app is the only way to continue the upload, but eventually, it fails. See the screenshot attached -- I've clicked "Resume" but apparently the upload is still on paused.
Any advice or guidance would be very greatly appreciated!

I've had a similar problem. For me the best solution is to save the photos to my Mac, and then delete them from my phone. This does not however solve the problem with not wanting them to be gone on other devices. Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to exclude a device from having the photo deleted off of it (Wink*Wink* Apple- iOS 9/OS X 10.11? Cough*Cough*). Anyway as for saving space, for me, if I turn off iCloud photo library and then turn it back on again, it will make a lot of space open up. Note: still not total space. I assume that you have a lot of music/photos/apps or something because I have this problem on my 16 GB iPhone, but I don't see how a 64 Gb iPhone can accidentally run out of room. In conclusion, try turning off iCloud Photo Library on and off again. This is my best solution, and it works for me pretty well. Anyway, I hope this helped.

IPhoto library update fails after Yosemite install

I have installed Yosemite 10.10.2 and iPhoto Library upgrade is required when I try to open iPhoto. Upgrade process runs but does not complete. Progress meter gets within a gnats nadger of completing, but then stops. I have done all the usual things to try and restart etc. but to no avail. I have tried accessing Time Machine to go back and unravel the Picture files but it also seems that I can't go any further back than yesterday in time machine. As things stand I cannot see any of my some 20,000 images stored in the Library. I hope someone can help. Mel A.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)

Library Update Fails, Itunes will not work with new 9.0 update

I just recently updated the Itunes software.
Since doing it, when I plug my Ipod 180 gig into my computer, or just try to open Itunes, the Library starts to update
I can do nothing else and then when it finishes, it fails.
Itunes closes and I am back to square one.
WHY?!?!?!
It was fine before I updated. Everything was running smooth.
This new update is messed up!!
What do I need to do to fix this issue??
Elwood

OK - to answer my own question, Apple recommend 8.2.1, but you can install 9.1.1 and it will run on a G3. Very slowly. Looks like this is the only option. Get it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1036. You need OSX 10.4.11 or later though....

Library Update Fails

I've had this problem for a while but it wasn't bad until the
site started growing. I have simple library items like a footer
with a flash mailto: to avoid spam bots and a nav section with just
links. The Update Pages log shows that it is looking at all the
right files but not changing them. I've checked the Help file and
the KB and searched this form but no help. I'm using CSS on the div
tags but there is no CSS in the library items.
- jim

Since the Library folder must always be in the root of the
site, it's not
possible to have a link in a Library file like this -
"><img src="../../../images/IntiriDesignsLogo
------------------^^^^^
or this -
<p><a
href="../../../index.html">Home</a></p>
------------------^^^^^
Something is deeply wrong with your site definition.

IPhoto update - Library update issues

I updated the latest iPhoto software (for one Aperture and iPhoto library). After downloading the software and starting up iPhoto, it requested to update the library, it then apparently goes through 9 steps and my Mac has been on that task for the past 20 hours. I did the same on my Macbook Pro and the library update only took a little while. The difference is that I have about 1,500 photos on my Macbook but about 30,000 on the Mac. I imagine it wojld take longer because the library is so much bigger, but mnore than 20 hours?? I'm afraid to force quit for fear of damaging or losing some of my photos.
I do not use Aperture so there can't be a conflict
Any advise?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Why does iphoto 11 tell me to update library every time i open it?

why does iphoto 11 tell me to update library every time i open it?
iPhoto '11 OSX 10.8.5
I open iphoto and I get the message
"the Photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto"
I click upgrade and after a few seconds the photos show fine, the application works correctly.
then I quit the app. and reopen and i get the same message and the same results.
this was happening before I did a complete erase of the Macbook Pro and install of Mt Lion
upgraded from lion.
only thing thats the same is the computer and the library I restored.

IPhoto library upgrade failed, one third of the photos lost, but the library works as normal. No corruption.

Hello! I recently replaced my tragically crashed Macbook Pro 2008 with a newer model and transferred my volumous iphoto library of 20 000+ photos to my new machine. To be able to use my iphoto '08 library with Aperture I had to upgrade the library in the iphoto '11 version. I left the computer on during the day, and when I got back it seemed to work fine. I browsed my library in Aperture and could see all the thumbnails, but looking closer I noticed a small yellow warning triangle with an arrow in the corner of some pictures. Turns out all pictures from before ~2010 are lost! When I wiev the photos I see nothing but the infinite black of the data void.
Here's how I've tried to fix the problem:
1. Opening the iPhoto Library package in Finder. All the folders for the earlier dates are there, but they are empty. I notice no incorrect or impossible dating, which seemed to be a common problem among users who's libraries where corrupted during the upgrade process.
2. Rebuilding the iphoto library in iphoto. No effect.
3. Recovering the iphoto library from my Time Machine Backup. SInce my old hard drive was just 200 GB, I stored all pictures older than one year on my external hard drive (note that about half of those pictures were successfully imported/upgraded). Both the internal and the external hard drive where backed up using Time Machine on a NAS from Seagate (Black Armor 110, 3TB). I was able to access backed up files on my external drive through Time Machine on my old computer, but since it is now rendered unbootable I tried using Migration Assistant to let my new computer inherit the old backup. However, I could not find the backup of the external drive in Migration Assistant, just my old internal drive. When I tried to access the backup volume on my NAS through Finder it didn't show up (I could find it that way on my old computer).
4. Googling "iPhoto library upgrade failed", or "Inheriting Time Machine backup of external drive", and similarily desperately specific phrases - Nothing useful. Other people seems to have had problems with corrupt Libraries, but I'm not sure that's the case here.
My pictures must exist somewhere on my computer and in a backup on my NAS. I just can't find them! Do anyone have a clue to what may have gone wrong? I'm afraid the computer might have gone to sleep during the upgrade, because I didn't thinkabout adjusting the power saving settings before starting it. But since pictures 1-8000-something are missing, it doesn't seem to have worked properly during the whole beginning of the upgrade, not just during the middle. As I knew I had a backup of the library I didn't worry about upgrading the single functional copy. From now on I will think thrice before doing anything as serious as this.
I am eternally grateful for any answers that might help me recovering my photos!
//Teodor Nilson

b) I split up my photo collection into two iphoto libraries. One for the new photos stored on my internal HD            and one for photos older than one year stored on my external HD
And exactly How did you Split up your iPhoto library?
c) I used Migration Assistant in an attempt to access the Time Machine backup of my old MBP from my new      MBP (by inheriting the backup). When I made my backups, I made sure Time Machine included the external      HD. But Migration Assistant could only find the backup of my Internal HD with the library of new photos!
And again
You should not use Migration assistant on an iPhoto library - it generally does not work
and
     d)   When signing in and mounting the NAS in Finder, I used to be able to see a Time Machine backup      folder/icon. Now I was unable to locate it.
I believe you are using your NAS for your Time Machine backup. If your Time Machine backup and/or your iPhoto library is on a NAS you will have problems - both need to be on Mac formatted volumes - the least troublsome is a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Manually preparing a new disk for Time Machine
If you want to erase a disk before using it with Time Machine, follow these steps:
Open Disk Utility (located in the Utilities folder).
Connect the disk if it isn't already attached.
In the left side of the Disk Utility window, select the disk you want to use with Time Machine.
Optional: If you want to partition the disk, click the Partition tab and select a layout. Make sure "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" is selected in the Format menu for the partition that will be used for backups. Click Apply.
Click the Erase tab.
Optional: If you want to securely erase the disk, click Security Options to configure, then click OK.
Click Erase.
After erasing, open Time Machine preferences in System Preferences and configure as described in the section above.
Are the iPhoto libraries kept on an external drive formated Mac OS extended (journaled)? Or are they on the NAS? - If you are using the NAS for iPhoto and/or Time Machine that is the source of your problems

My iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

my iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

I had original iPhoto app from 2007, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater. My pictures are lost in the abyss.

I'm using OS Extended 10.9.5. I don't know what the original version of iPhoto was.

Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

Trouble with iPhoto Library Updater

I've read all the posts on this subject but can't find my problem. When I run the Library Updater, the libraries I want to open are greyed out. If I click on a library on the desktop, it tells me I have to install the updater. I'm stumped!

I did not sent you the email. It was automatically sent by the ASC forum. That is an image that I added but then delete from my last post before posting. How it got in the email is anyone's guess.
The contents of that folder appear to be normal for an iPhoto 6 library. You should be able to launch the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 with the Option key held down, navigate to that folder and select it for updating.
You are saying that that the iPhoto Italy2 library folder is grayed out in the upgrader's window? How is the volume MEDIA formatted. It must be OS X Extended (journaled) for iPhoto or the upgrader to work. If that volume is not formatted correctly move the folder to your boot drive and try from there.

Iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgraded application.

iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application. Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel. I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.

iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
You need to do the following:
1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application.
2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Assertion Failed error after Adobe update

After the last update of Adobe, I get a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Assertion Failed
File: common\npn_gate.cpp

How do I fix this?

I followed the instructions from this page:

It isolated the problem and it is gone. It took about 1 hour of time to go
through it all, as I had not done anything like this before. I hope this

"Update failed" when opening Ap2 library with Ap3

One of my two Ap 2.14 libraries opened and upgraded in Ap3 with no trouble, but the other one gets an "Update failed" error message. I launched Ap3 while holding the option key and selected the library, and Ap3 produced the error message and quit. I tried running both "standard" and "admin" user accounts. Tried running Consistency Check and Rebuild Library with Ap2. Repaired permissions. No dice. Ap3 will not open the library.
Suggestions? Anyone else having similar troubles?

Ok, so I am(was) in the same boat as everyone. "Open the A3 Trial>want to update?>Upgrade....Update Failed"
So no success to enter the program,
so what I did was kinda like Trick Aperture, I went on my A2 Library clicked on (more info, Command+I) and opened the section Name and Extension and changed to a whatever named, but before I copied the original name, just in case... then it asks you to accept, the new extension...
so yes, and that Aperture Library becomes a Folder with ALL of you projects...
Now you are Able to enter A3 because is not causing that "Whatever" conflict it is with the new version, but then, on A3 I tried to import the projects and it would not appear on A3 Browser.
But I knew the projects were there...
so I closed A3... Deleted the New A3 Library (it creates automatically)
and pasted the original name on my A2 Library... and reopened A3 and it started the whole Importing process... and is on 4-5% as of now.
So if it is a little confusing here are the process I've done:
1.Changed the name and extension of A2's Library to whatever.(save the original name on a document or else)
2.Opened A3, closed.
3.Deleted A3 Library (1.3mb)
4.Renamed A2 Library (which is a folder now) with Original Name, then it became A2 Library again. Mine look like this (Aperture Library.aplibrary)
And then reopened A3, and pressed Upgrade, it started the importing.
Hope it works for everyone.
