IPhoto 9.4.3 won't launch. iPhoto Library Upgrader doesn't help.

I am going around in circles trying to get iPhoto 9.4.3 to launch. When I try to launch it I get the following message;
To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.
To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple.
Clicking on the Learn More button takes me to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037
After downloading the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool and launching it from the Utilities folder it simply hangs (greys out) and I have to force quit as it says that iPhoto is not reponding.
When the updater starts it says it is preparing photos from iPhoto 7. I never/rarely use iPhoto but I need it to select images for another application (iWeb).
Any idea how to get iPhoto to work? Can I just remove all the files in the iPhoto Library?
Thx

Hi Larry,
As I said; I already tried the option/command procedure [holding down both keys simultaneously] and I get the same notice;
To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.
To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple.
Thanks for your suggestions but it appears you haven't read my original post where I state that I have already downloaded and tried the iPhoto Library Manager and iphoto just hangs so that I need to force quit the application.
Is there anything else that can be tried?
Thx

IPhoto 9.5.1 won't launch.

Hi,
My iPhoto 9.5.1 won't launch. It just shows the spinning clock, my MacBook gets very warm and the fan gets very busy. Then after a couple of minutes it stops and shows me this problem rapport (part of):

Any ideas on what the problem is? And of course how to fix it?
I'm afraid that if I delete an reinstall iPhoto, al my pictures will be lost?
Best, Ian

Do you have Photo Stream enabled?
Then try this fix posted by Terence Devlin:   Re: Cannot open iPhoto after upgrade to Mavericks
in response to Steven Fisher1 | This solved my question | This solved my question
Try this solution for user photosb189:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. Unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old).

IPhoto 9.1.2 Won't Launch - Disaster!

I have iPhoto 9.1.2 working on OSX 10.6.7.
I believe all was fine until last time I loaded my SIM card, and iPhoto didn't auto launch.
I checked the preferences, and it did show that it would auto launch when camera was connected (although I had always used my SIM card instead of connecting camera via cord).
I can't remember if/when I upgraded anything of late.
Only when I hold down the iPhoto icon in the toolbar (yes, I used to be a PC user), iPhoto will sort of open, but it won't let me do anything - if I go to click on a photo, it puts the program back down into the toolbar.
I did see that the photos from my SIM card had loaded into the program, but couldn't do anything with iPhoto - I was able to access the photos via Photos in finder, but I couldn't edit them.
I also tried to launch it from the Applications folder, but it wouldn't work.
Desperate for your help, but please explain like you are talking to a 5th grader as I rely on my husband to follow instructions and he is PC through and through!
Thank you in advance!

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you're able to create and run a new library then your current library is the culprit and is damaged.
If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that doesn't help try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Iphoto 8.1.2 won't launch

I'm running 10.5.8 on a ppc g4 powerbook. iPhoto won't launch. I ran the update from 8.1.1 to 8.1.2 and it still won't launch.
HELP!
- ®aymond

You need to reinstall iPhoto as it's missing bits of itself.
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 6.0.1 won't launch

I installed the 6.0.1 update through the Updater, but iPhoto then refused to launch. iPhoto 6 opened fine, but 6.0.1 refuses to open. On the first attempt to launch, the icon bounced for a bout 15 and then stopped. On further tries, the icon bounced once and then stopped.
I trashed the update and copied iPhoto 6 back to the hard drive from a backup, and it opens fine now. What's causing the update not to launch?
Thanks,
Bill

After running the updater did you repair disk permissions with Disk Utility?

Front Row won't launch iPhoto, no black menu

I just got my new Intel iMac. All works great but not the Front Row's photo show. When I press Photos on the rotating desktop, the menu just fades and shows Desktop. No error message, just desktop.
I deleted iPhoto, re-installed it (v. 6.0). Does not work. I updated it and Front Row to the latest versions, not working. I repaired permissions. Does not help.
If I manually open iPhoto, I can then launch the slideshow by using remote. And iPhoto works fine by itself. Problem seems to be that Front Row cannot launch the black FR menu and/or iPhoto.
I'd like to be able to launch the slideshow by only using remote as it is meant to be...
Any help appreciated!

I solved it finally myself: I deleted my old photo files and photo albums from iPhoto. Now FR works nicely. Seems that the migrated photo libraries from iPhoto 4 did not fare well with iPhoto 6+Front Row.
Weirdly, this rather straightforward solution is not suggested anywhere...

IPhoto 4.0.3 - won't launch properly...

When I double click to launch iPhoto (Version 4.0.3) - it opens the main window - then 'sits on the 'Loading Photos' logo with the spinning disc & doesn't load in our photos.
We have tried restart & full shutdown & also launching the application from different 'origins' (the dock, Application Folder in HD etc) - but it does the same every time
Any ideas welcomed...we're panicking!!
thanks

Shane:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This may fix it.
Determining if the SWOD (spinning wheel of death) at launch is caused by a corrupt album.
1 - move the Albums folder and the AlbumData.xml file to the Desktop
2 - launch iPhoto. If it launches OK then it's a bad album.
3 - to determine which one(s) is the bad apple (pun intended) move, one at a time, each album folder and it's associated data file back into the new Albums folder that was created inside the iPhoto Library folder.
4 - Launch iPhoto. If the launch is OK, that one was good and try the same with the next one.
5 - If the launch gives you the SWOD, remove that last album folder and it's data file.
6 - repeat with each album folder and data file until you've checked them all.

Iphoto 7.1.3 won't launch

a few days ago I reinstalled the start up disks since I was missing TextEdit. I now have TextEdit, but my iPhoto wont open. I can see the photos in Automator, but can't run any commands with iPhoto and get a Applescript error 5.
Also I cant access the photo library from finder.
I'm open to suggestions
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did iPhoto come with your Mac or did you buy iLife 08? Also did you do an archive and install or a full erase and install?
Do you have the iPHoto app in the Applications folder? What happens when you double click on it? What commands are you trying to run in iPhoto what would require Applescript?
As a first try at a fix delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and launch iPhoto. See if it will run.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

New computer won't launch iPhoto

Good day all. I just upgraded from an iBook G4 with 10.4.5 to a shiny new iMac with 10.6.6. The Migration Assistant did a nice job of moving all my files over, but there's an issue with iPhoto. When I launch it (or attempt to), it throws an error that says, "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. This library must be upgraded by the iPhoto Library Upgrader application before you can use it with iPhoto. Please reinstall iPhoto from your iLife disc."
Okay, no problem ... except I've done that at least 4 - 5 times, with no success. I removed the preferences files, too. No joy.
The Apple Store rep wants me to bring the machine in. I'd really rather not pack up the 27" computer I just bought and lug it back to the store if I can avoid it. Any better ideas?

What version of iPhoto are you running? You should be at 9.1.1 before trying to open and convert a library from an earlier version.
Open the Info window for the iPhoto Application and see what version it is. If it's not 9.1.1 download the necessary updater from Apple Downloads page, update and try again.

Help: iPhoto and other iApps Won't Launch!

Help!
All of a sudden, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iChat quit unexpectedly before launching. I only use iPhoto, but can't reinstall it from the the installation disk in a custom reinstall (it is grayed out and has 0 content) and I can't rebuild it iPhoto Rebuild. Plugging in a card reader with photos doesn't launch it. I am at my wits end. Adobe photoshop elements is sending crash reports too.
I just installed DropBox. Could this have caused the problem?
-I have Time Machine. Can you rebuild apps from there? Can I go back to an earlier time when the apps were working and just re-upload whatever new files were on added?
-If I upgrade to Snow Leopard, will this solve the problem? That is just an OS - do I need to also buy software upgrades?
Please Help!

Move the cursor of the app in the Dock (lower bar on screen) and click on the app and there should be a Quit or Force Quit selection. Also, you can open Activity Monitor which is in Finder>Applications>Utilities and select the app and then click on Force Quit

IPhoto 8.1.2 won't launch (crashes) after restore

Macbook pro iphoto 6.0.2 won't recognize iphoto library (backup from DVD)

Just purchased a Macbook Pro with iphoto 6.0.2. Had a G4 powerbook with iphoto 4.0.2 and backed up that iphoto library to 2 DVD's. I loaded the photos and albums from the 2 DVDs to the iphoto library on the macbook. when I launch the iphoto 6.0.2 it does not load any photos and states there are no photos.
Is this an issue of the DVD back up being made under iphoto 4.0.2? Is there another way to back them up if it is....any help would be appreciated....thanks in advance...-D

Hi kaiman,
I have all the advise in one post here (including Old toad's)so as not to confuse you.
Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
For an iPhoto 5 Library:
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
For an iPhoto 6 Library:
Do almost the same thing except there are three main folders to backup now. the Data, Originals, and Modified. Then the iPhoto Library folder and all the data files within it. It might get too confusing so it might be better to get disc spanning software.
You can also check out applications for disc spanning:
Disc-spanning software
DropDMG
Toast
Dragon Burn 4
Retrospect Express-comes with some external drives
Retrospect for Macintosh Desktop Edition
2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
1.. If you backed up the entire iPhoto Library by burning within iPhoto or burning the folder in the Finder, make sure the burned copy is a good working copy before you delete the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. You delete the iPhoto Library in the finder by dragging it to the trash when iPhoto is closed. When you next launch iPhoto it will create a new empty library for you to start anew.
2. If you burned just the images, be aware that that is all you are archiving. No metadata will travel with the images such as comments, keywords, etc.
You can then delete those images within iPhoto by highlighting them and hitting the delete key, then empty iPhoto's trash. Do this often and in groups so iPhoto will not choke on too many images.
And here is the info for transferring a library from one Mac to another:
Copy iPhoto Library folder from one Mac to another
-If the library is small enough, burn the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to CD/DVD.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder from the CD/DVD to your Pictures folder of the iMac.
-If the computers are networked, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac.
-If you have an iPod, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to the iPod. Connect the iPod to the other computer and copy the iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac.
-If you have a firewire cable, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto LIbrary folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac
Things to keep in mind:
-If the usersnames are different you might have to set the permissions on the iPhoto Library folder to Read/Write for the new user. Check the "apply to enclosed items" at the bottom of the "get info" window.
-If there is another iPhoto Library folder on the other Mac, change it's name so it doesn't get replaced by the iPhoto Library folder you are copying into the Pictures folder...or....drag it to another place on your hard drive.
Now that the library is in the Pictures folder, launch iPhoto and it will open the library. If the library you moved to the new Mac was created on an older version of iPhoto, iPhoto will tell you the library needs to be upgraded. Let iPhoto do the upgrade.

I've tried verifying the disk, and repairing the desk, but can't find a fix. It won't launch at all ever since the Mavericks upgrade.

If you did not install the software following the upgrade but did some form of transfer or migration then you should probably uninstall and then use the Cleaner Tool. After that install using the discs or a downloaded set of installation files.
