IPhoto 9.5.1 will not upgrade my iPhoto library

Having moved to a new MacBook Pro, iPhoto 9.5.1 crashes every time I open it. First I get a message prompting me to upgrade my library, offering only Upgrade and Quit as options. After I choose upgrade, all seems to be going well for the first hour or so, until the blue bar gets to within a centimetre of the end. And there it stays. I have left it for 16 hours to sort itself out, and it doesn't. Meanwhile iPhoto shows up as Not Responding in Force Quit.
I don't know what version of iPhoto my old MacBook Pro was running, but it must have been later than 7, because I have tried to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader, which assures me that my library doesn't need to be upgraded. I'm not really clear why iPhoto insists that it does.
Any ideas?

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?
If trying to create a new library also crashes try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

HT1338 iPhoto 9.3.2 will not upgrade to 9.4.2?

iPhoto 9.3.2 tells me its using a newer version and that I must upgrade then makes me quit it. Now I can't to get the upgrade to 9.4.2. snowdeep in s__t

The only thing I can find is that you need 10.8.2 to upgrade to 9.4, but if it is offering it, you should meet the requirements.
From everything I have found, you only need 9.1 to use the 9.4.2 update.
Did it come with your Mac? If so, you might try moving iPhoto to an external disk, eject the disk, then go to App Store, Purchases, and install iPhoto.
When you move, it will likely only let you make a copy. You'll then have to go back and delete iPhoto from the Applications folder.

I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto. It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!!

I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto. It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!! I need these photos, to complete the video, not to mention I don't want to lose them. I have had trouble ever since upgrading to Maverick.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

IPhoto will not load the iPhoto library. When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it. I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
recreate the library I believe. It's been a while so I cant remember
exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
have had no problems with it.

When will recent upgrade from IPHOTO to PHOTO allow me to export pics to Shutterfly?

How can I export Photo pictures to Shutterfly? Recent Yosemite upgrade replaced IPhoto with Photo hat will not permit export to Shutterfly.

So there I am between a rock and a hard place, until Apple reinstate Batch Rename.

We posted a few Apple Scripts in the User Tip section of this forum to help with batch changing. It is only a workaround, but can speed up things a little. see this page: User Tips (7)

Iphone 4 will not sync with iphoto

Iphone four will not sync with iphoto, error message appears. any suggestions?

Currently downloading upgrades from the "Software Updates" so hopefully that will help,
Which updates are these? For iPhoto or for you phone's operating system?
If you plan on upgrading iPhoto it will require a purchase of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com
or
upgrading your MBP to Mavericks and downloading the latest version, 9.5, from the App Store for free.

IPhoto 9.5.1 Will not open, I am running OS X 10.9.

iPhoto 9.5.1 Will not open, I am running OS X 10.9.
I was trying to delete a photo from iPhoto and it would not delete. I then deleted the one photo out of the library folder.
From that point on whenever I try to open iPhoto it tells me I must install "iPhoto library upgrader."
I installed this and now it just keeps telling me the same.
I then deleted iPhoto from the computer and reinstalled it from the apple website. And it was giving me the same errors again.
I followed the advice on this form and downloaded iPhoto Library manager. When I click rebuild library, it says , "The album data file for the library “iPhoto Library” could not be read. The file “AlbumData.xml” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file."
Any ideas?
Why is it so hard to delete a photo from this new version?
Thanks for your help

From that point on whenever I try to open iPhoto it tells me I must install "iPhoto library upgrader."
I installed this and now it just keeps telling me the same.
Now you have to go to the Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the updater to actually run it.
Deleting a photo from this version is exactly the same as other versions.

My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into Iphoto.

My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into IPhoto. The computer will recognize the files once the download is complete, but fails to finalize. My version of IPhoto is 7.1.5 and my computer is a Mid 2007 Mac Mini Model. I have Light Room 5, but my wife and I are prefer IPhoto for basic download and sharing. Is there a possibility of getting the RAW files to download ?

what version of the OS?
You need Mt Lion and iPhoto '09 for your camera RAW support - OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats -
If your computer will support tMavericks do the free upgrade to it and purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the App store

My iPhoto has crashed and will not load up my picture and iTunes can not find my photos. Why?

My iPhoto has creashed and will not load up my pictures and iTunes can not find my picture either. Why?

Tell us more please - so it is hard to guess what might have happened.
What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
What happened directly, before you could no longer open your iPhoto library?
Did you install or upgrade software?
Did you import new photos to your iPhoto library?
Are other programs also behaving buggie?
Did you move your iPhoto library to a new harddisk?
Did you run other programs, that might have changes the iPhoto library?
How full is your harddrisk? Could it be, that you are running out of disk space?
Anything at all, that could give us a clue ...

I need a driver that will work for my Sony DSC-S50 camera, I took my Mini to the Mac store to eject two CD's stuck. Now my camera will not download to iPhoto like it did before.

I had to take my Mini to the Mac store to retrieve a disc stuck in the drive now my camera will not download into iPhoto. I have a Sony Driver Disc,but when I try to open the disc I get a error message "Classic environment is no longer supported". I have OSX 10.6.7 what has changed?

I'm sorry, but there is no 10.7.5 - do you mean 10.4.x or 10.5.x or 10.6.x?
I asked because 10.6. (which you have now) no longer supports the classic environment, but previous OS's did. So, if the store "upgraded" you to the latest OS when you had it in for repair, then that would be the reason. So, if you can't remember which OS version was on it, I would call or go to the store and ask if they changed the OS version. Now, I'm not sure what a Sony Driver Disc is - do you mean it's the software that came with your camera? Depending on the format of your camera cards, you should be able to use a USB card reader instead which might be easier to deal with.

Iphoto 9.5.1. will not play my imported videos from my iPhone 5

When iphonot 9.5.1. imports videos made on my iPhone 5 through iTunes, the videos import but will not play through iPhoto. Anyone know why? Thank you.

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?
can you play the videos outside of iPhoto with Quicktime Player?
if you use iPhoto to import the videos directly will they play in iPhoto?
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?

Hallelujah, finally disabled OOPP. I use Firefox 9.0.1 and will not upgrade to anything that ignores my settings. Been looking for this info for years!

As soon as Firefox came out with OOPP, I immediately asked how to permanently disable it and had a Firefox developer straight-up lie to me and say it couldn't be done without downgrading. Thank GOODNESS for the instructions on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/713600?page=1 Finally, finally I have excised the hated OOPP!
I run Firefox 9.0.1 and will not upgrade, ever, unless I see signs that Mozilla has radically altered its development direction and discarded most of the boneheaded, broken, anti-user development that has gone into versions more recent than Firefox 1.x. Actually making your mission statement more than an empty promise might be a good place to start.
Let's see...anything else? Oh yeah, any developer who advocates overriding or ignoring user settings, or taking control away from the user, should be kicked off the team. (and investigated as a possible Government mole, but that's a lot to ask for). I hear Konqueror and Safari are looking for new devs. It gets old fast when you try to get support and instead get haughty "You're doing it wrong, stop doing that" responses. I'm doing exactly what I intend to be doing and if you can't support that, someone else will. If you really gave a damn about your users, you might start by backporting security fixes to previous versions instead of spewing out a cacophony of incompatible new versions so rapidly you end up confusing and alienating users and making them switch updates off entirely. I mean seriously, what happens when Firefox hits triple digits? You could stick a decimal in front of it, and name that build after a historic baseball player who had that batting average. But even then you will run out of players in a few months.
It's truly sad. I switched to Firefox because it was the best browser. But Firefox has been backsliding horribly since around 2.0, and the other browsers seem to be in about the same boat. Firefox IS still the best browser - but only if you use an ancient, unsupported version. That's a big problem.

Using an obsolete version released [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/9.0.1/releasenotes/ December 11th 2011] is the exact definition of downgrading. It exposes your system to all the security vulnerabilities that have been fixed since then.
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Out-of-process plug-ins was made mandatory on Windows Vista and later because Adobe don't test Flash Player's protected mode with OOPP disabled. This change didn't happen until Firefox 14, so there was no need to go as far back as Firefox 9.0.1.
If you absolutely have to, you can disable OOPP by creating the ''MOZ_DISABLE_OOP_PLUGINS'' environment variable and setting its value to '''1'''. Firefox must be restarted for the change to take effect. This works in the current version of Firefox, so there's no need to use obsolete insecure versions.<br>
If you don't know how to create an environment variable, see the following article for instructions (the "Using the Custom Environment Variable" section is not relevant).

I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore. If there another way for me to do this?

I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore. If there another way for me to do this? I've tried everything I can find online and of course my coverage has expired and can't call the support team.

Hello Lara,
have you already called Apple and explained your current situation, because I don't see a way to downgrade your storage plan with a Mac only running Snow Leopard and without a iOS device running at least iOS 5.
Best regards.

Opera 11.0 will not upgrade it's flash player however firefox will

Ok i'm going to give my information. I have windows xp sp3 pro 32bit. I upgraded internet explorer to flash 10.3.183.7 and I upgraded firefox 3.6 but opera will not upgrade. I do not get a error notice but when I do the upgrade and then check at the adobe site firefox has upgaded but opera hasn't. I have administrative rights so what do i do now? I tried having firefox download and save then open. I tried having opera do the same and i tried just having opera open using run?

Ok this is what i found. I have been on this for most of the day. I found out that opera is using a firefox plugin for flash in program files/mozilli/firefox/plugins/nppdf32.dll. Now firefox is using the flash plugin that i downloaded in windows/system32/macromed/flash. I have no clue how to link them and the plugin folder in opera is empty. In the windows system folder that has flash in there are four objects,two are active x for internet explorer and what's left is a flashutil10w_ plugin and flash10w.ocx'. I have no clue if I can link this folder to opera. i was going to try and download a flash player for portble opera browsers but I'm too confused.Can anyone give me a idea? i have looked at almost every opera flash instalation guide and the more i look at the more confused i am. Thanks I know this is not great reading. I'll stop back later.
