IPhoto 9.6, can update only 1 out of 6 old libraries

I have upgraded from OSX 10.9 to Yosemite (10.10.1) and then from my previous version of iPhoto (don’t remember the exact version) to iPhoto 9.6.
At the first opening, iPhoto asked to update the default library to work properly with the new version. The process started and after an additional request to repair the permissions, it ends quickly and correctly (the library size is 26 GB).
Since I have more than one library I tried to do the same process for all libraries but iPhoto always starts the process and never ends. When the process starts I always get the request to update the library and after few seconds the correct structure of the database appears in the Source List area but the Viewing Area remains totally black with the spinning wheel in the center.
I went through most of the discussions I found in this forum and I think to have tried all the suggested walkaround but I never solved my problem: I can open correctly only the library that was first updated but no way to end the update process for any of the remaining libraries.
Here below the list of what I have already tried:
- reboot
- repair disk permissions with disk utility
- run iPhoto Library Upgrader; all the libraries were already compatible with the current iPhoto version
- restore libraries from a Time Machine backup
- check libraries content; all the pictures are still present in the Data folder (the libraries size ranges from 364 MB to 21 GB)
- run iPhoto First Aid; tried all the 4 options
- disintall iPhoto and re-install it again
- run the update process overnight; after more than 10 hours the spinning wheel was still there
Any ideas are welcome !
Thanks

I did it but the rebuild process failed. iPhoto Library Manager was only able to rebuild the database (i.e. all the albums were created), pictures are still missing.
I had a look to the error log file and I think that the main issue is related to the fact that iPhoto Library Manager (and maybe also iPhoto 9.6) is looking for the pictures in the Master folder which is not present in any of my old libraries. This is part of the error log file:

HT5621 I recently changed my apple id email from an old one to a new one and now I can't sign out of my old one on my iPhone 5 because it says I need a password. I cannot give that password because it is part of the old apple ID. How do I change IDs?

Hi sharonpalencia,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot sign in, or sign out in this case, to your Apple ID. In this situation you may need to temporarily edit your Apple ID back to the original email address so that you can sign out. Once signed out, edit the Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in. Please use the attached article for further information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
Have a great day,
Joe

HT4113 how can I find out 14 year old daughter passcode on iphone?

how can I find out 14 year old daughter passcode to access iphone?

Ask her what it is. Other than that, there's no way do figure it out.
If it's been forgotten, you'll have to restore the phone using iTunes.

Hi, I've uploaded pics to iTunes from iPad using iPhoto app. Can't figure out how to find them in iTunes on my PC to download a copy. Any ideas?

Hi Gavincalderwood,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

I have multiple libraries on an external drive. Somehow all the iTunes library files i.e. iTunes Library.itl, xml, itdb, Media folder, etc disappeared! Only the music files remain. Now when I start iTunes w/option it can't find any of the old libraries!

Help! I 'm using an old G4 powerbook, Mac OSX 10.5.8, iTunes ver 10. I have multiple iTunes libraries on an external drive. Everything was fine for a while, then all of the iTunes library files, i.e. iTunes Library.itl, xml, itdb, artwork folder, Media folder, etc mysteriously disappeared! Only the music files remain (thank god) So now when I start iTunes w/option key to choose a library, I can't choose any of them because iTunes won't recognize them. Because all the library stuff is missing. So can I re-create the library files? (I don't care if I lose my ratings)
Or should I create a new empty library on the external drive, then manually move all the music files to the Media folder in the new library?
I tried some stupid ideas like creating a new library just to start iTunes, then going into prefs and advanced, then under iTunes Media folder location, selecting the location of the old library on the external, to see if iTunes would then find all the music which is still there, but no workee.
I'm out of ideas, and I searched the archives.
Help! anyone?
Scott

I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

I have changed my icloud account but now can't log out of the old account on my ipad. What can I do next?

I am having problems with logging out of the icloud on my ipad so that I can log in with my new icloud account. How can I change this so that all of my logins will work?

Have you got 'Find My iPad' enabled? This has to be turned off using the original ID address.
Try going back to http://appleid.apple.com and changing the ID back to the original address. If you can get this accepted, then go to the iCloud preferences/settings pane, stop 'Find My ....', and then sign out. Do the same on any other devices or computers.
Then go back to http://appleid.apple.com and change the ID to the new one. Sign in with that on all your devices.
However if the address which forms the original ID is now not working it can't be validated and it's possible that you won't be able to revert to it. In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the initial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.

How can i log out of my old iCloud account when i don't remember the email address and ID password?

i while ago i was using my original email address for my apple ID. then i changed service providers for talk talk to BT internet, and i doing so my old email address became discontinued. i now use a gmail account for my new Apple ID. i do not know my security questions for my old one and cannot log into my old email address to veryify a reset password because said address no longer exists. please help, thank you.

Hello hblack123
If you have a rescue email address setup, then you should be able to send an email to reset the password or the security questions. If that is not available, then you would need to contact iTunes Store support. Check out the article below for more information.

How can i remove moved and deleted old libraries?

I've moved a bunch of my libraries around, removed some, and have installed iphoto9 on a new mac. I love that in iphoto9 I can now create new libraries or decide which library to open. But, all of my older libraries are showing up in the list when I open with "option". Plus there are duplicates of the older libraries. I'm assuming there is a db or data text file somewhere that is populating this list. Does anyone know how I can remove old defunct libraries from showing up in the list?
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Terrence. I didn't even realize all these old files still had album xml files. I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Bob

Can't drag out some pics

I'm trying to get a few pics out into a folder on my desktop. I'm dragging them out and all's going well, but all of a sudden, there are a few random pics that won't go out. When I try to drag them out, I get the little circle with a line through it next to my icon. Why on earth would there be some images in my iPhoto that I can't drag out of iPhoto???
Thanks,
Dan P.

When I select "Show File" it takes me to the modified folder for that event, but the file is NOT there. When I select "Show Original" it takes me to the actual file in the originals folder.
It appears that a LOT of my modified files (modified only because of the camera's auto rotation I believe, not due to anything I did) are gone.
I tried choosing "Revert to Original", but that appears to have no effect, since after doing so, the menu still has the options "Show File" and "Show Original". I tried simply copying the original over to the modified folder and that appears to work, but have been told I should never manually move files around in those folders.
This is VERY frustrating, I don't know what to do. I just tried to export a picasa web album, and it won't let me because it's looking for modified files that aren't there.
Any further input appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan P.

User can edit only his own rows

Hi,
I have a simple generated application. I logged the user in the DB-table who has created the row. Now I want that all users can see all entries of the table (blackboard) and can create new entries, but the user can update only his own entries.
Ideally he sees the Edit-Icon on the report only with the rows he created and he has the right to update.
Regards, Juergen

Juergen,
Yes, I was answering a different question. A query like the following would show/hide the edit link based on a column's value:    select decode(ENAME,:APP_USER,
      ''||
'<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#edit_big.gif" border="0" alt="Edit Big Icon">',
      null) Edit,
    ENAME,
    JOB
    from EMP Of course you want the edit page to check if the user requesting the page should be able to update the row corresponding to the primary key value passed in, just in case someone tampers with the URL and goes to the edit page directly. You could use an authorization scheme for that.

Apple ID on my computer no longer exists, so I can't sign out

The Apple ID that is installed on my computer is no longer the email address that I use for my Apple ID, and the email account itself has been deleted so I cannot sign into it to change the settings. My current Apple ID works online on apple.com but I want to put it on my computer, except I can't sign out of the old nonexistent ID without it telling me that it is going to delete my documents, and I can't sign in to change the settings to remove them from iCloud so they don't get deleted. How do I tell which documents are even on iCloud so I can try to change my Apple ID and actually use iCloud without deleting my documents?

Look inside your ~/Library/Mobile Documents/ folder. (Open Finder, from the Go menu select "Go to Folder", paste ~/Library/Mobile Documents/ in to the box and click Go.) In Mavericks, Pages documents, for example, will be in ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents.
Save these documents in a folder on your desktop before deleting the account if you want to keep copies.

Can't sign out of my previous Apple ID

I changed my Apple ID and now with my new phone when I restored a backup the old ID is still in there and I can't sign out of the old ID to log into the new one as the password does not work! I've even tried to change the ID back to the old email on the "manage my ID" on the web but I can't do that either as the email is apparently "not available"... Its driving me insane

Did you ever get an answer for this? I have the same problem.

Apple id changed can't log out of old apple id

I changed my apple id (there was no instructions to do anything else) and now I can't log out of my old id on my iPhone or my iPad to log into the new id.
Searching through instructions, it says you have to log out first of all your devices - wouldn't that be good advice to give at the point of change and not have to dig through endless instructions? There are no instructions how to sign out of your other devices once your change your apple id on one device. That's not very consumer friendly.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I am unable to log out of my old creative cloud.

I have Windows 8 and started school with the creative cloud trial version and now I activated my Adobe Cloud membership I can not log out of my old expired creative cloud. I need to know how I can log out of my old account? The log out button isn't active, as in it does nothing when I click it.
