Iphoto and Itunes not responding after an Apple Software Update

Hi
Afew days ago I did the Apple Software Update and since then I haven't been able to get onto my Itunes or Iphoto, both of which I use quite often. Itunes just doesn't load at all and Iphoto starts to open the page but then that multicoloured ball appears and it doesn't respond. I am just wondering why this is happening and whether it's happened to anyone else at all? Ideally I'd like to get rid of this new update but don't know how to go about it. I'm a bit of a computer dunce so if you could offer any solution in a straightforward way I would be so grateful. Thanks!

created a new user account and the same problem arose there as well.
Then you need to re-install iPhoto:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applcations Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
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...’
This process will not affect your Library of photos. However: Always back up before an operation like this.

  • Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and trackpad not responding after 10.8.5 update

    I updated to 10.8.5 on my iMac this morning.  The update has killed my trackpad, mouse and (presumably) keyboard as well.
    OS X will boot to the log on screen but the mouse pointer is stuck in the top left of the screen.  Trying keyboard, mouse or trackpad obtains no results.  Switching the bluetooth devices off and on, will obtain a connection lost and connected on the screen but still the pointer will not respond.
    I have tried hard booting to computer twice now and it has not resolved this.  As of right now I am totally unable to use my iMac due to the software update as I have no wired keyboards or mice.
    Help!

    Maybe they will work in the Safe Mode.Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Safari and iTunes not working after 10.7.1 update

    Has anyone else out there had the same experience?

    The thing is that sometimes software updates cause more problems than good. Now roll back to the previous version. This is my advice.

  • Navigation of iPhoto and iTunes not possible by Remote Control

    Navigation of iPhoto and iTunes not possible by Remote Control after upgrading from Leo to Mountain Lion. I miss this functionality because it was nice to see may photoes directly on the iMac-Screen as well to hear the Music on my Radio. No chance to implement this function again by a newer upgrade?

    Answer to captfred and mende1:
    I am using already AppleTV, but only for streaming into a different room on to my TV - it is great!
    But I like to hear all my iTunes Music by LineOut Cable from iMac to my Stereo Device.
    I can activate music titles in iTunes by Apple Remote, but only for jumping from Title to Title and not back to Albums or Playlists etc.

  • IPhoto and iTunes not fully syncing?

    I am running up to date versions of iPhoto and iTunes software on OS 10.8.2. I cannot fully sync my photo library (around 5000 pictures) with iTunes (which then impacts iPhone 5 and ATV2). Has anyone got any advice to help solve?

    Until recently, all my photo's in iPhoto were syncing perfectly to iTunes and I could selectively decide what was further synced to my iPhone and to my Apple TV2 - I could select the whole photo library or all photo's within one or many specific events without error.
    I recently upgraded to iPhone 5 (from 4) and noticed that I am not syncing all my photos from iPhoto to iTunes. If I select the entire library, it doesn't take all of the photo's from the library. If I choose selectively certain events, not all photo's in the specified event were syncing to iTunes (1 out of 25 photos in one event for example would get synced to iTunes yet all photo's in other events would be synced). If I deselect the tyick box for photo's in the iPhoto to iTunes sync, switch every thing off and then try again, the errors seen previously are repeating - that is, if the event has 25 photo's, still the one gets synced and the other 24 don't.
    Whatever is in iTunes photo library will onward sync to iPhone 5 and ATV2 without a problem. The error is therefore between iPhoto and iTunes but I don't know how to fix it. I don't receive any error messages whatsoever, I discovered the discrepancy when trying to find a specific photo for my wall paper on my new iPhone.
    Sorry for the waffle but I hope this is a better description of my problem. Thanks for any help you can give.

  • HP Utility 'Application Not Responding' after downloading Apple update

    Trying to setup a brand new HP Officejet Premium 6700 with a brand new Air (OSX Mavericks v10.9.3).  Was having issues with the supplied printer software and the wireless print capability so uninstalled that and added the software via an Apple Software Update.  I can now print wirelessly however every time I try to open the HP Utility (via Printers & Scanners) I receive a message of 'Application Not Responding'. 
    Have subsequently tried to access HP Utility via the printer USB and am having the same issue.
    I can't get the scanner to connect to the computer without the Utility.  Any suggestions?  I have literally uninstalled and reinstalled every variation of software for HP Officejet 6700 that I can find.  Getting very frustrated.
    Notably I did have the computer connected to the scanner via wireless but lost the ability when I ran the OSX upgrade to 10.9.3.  The printer still references the computer when I click on Scanner/ Computer on the printer itself, but when I try to select the computer it says the computer isn't available.
    Hoping someone has a good suggestion!

    I think there's a good possibility there are "mis-matched" driver files.
    I would:
    delete the HP folder from Library/Printers (you may have to use Go menu > go to folder to see it).
    Get/install the latest HP driver (hopefully includes utility) from:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
    Reset the Printing System.

  • I am trying to update to iTunes 10 to us my new iPad, but I can not remove a corrupted "apple software update" program... I can get everything else off, but due to "previous version" of software update it will not continue.

    I am trying to update to iTunes 10 to us my new iPad, but I can not remove a corrupted? "apple software update" program... I can get everything else off, but due to "previous version" of software update it will not continue.
    I stopped in to see one of the genius at the local store who referred me to "Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable" (I am trying to install it on a Windows XP System)
    The last version on iTunes on my PC was iTunes 7.
    Thanks for your help,

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • ITunes update can not install due to Apple Software Update

    When i download the newest edition of iTunes it saves to my desktop. Then i double click it, it asks me the usual (where i want the files installed to etc) then it seems to update, but near the end, it says "The Older version of AppleSoftwareUpdate cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group"
    I have tried uninstalling iTunes and installing a fresh copy. It would not let me install, i have tried deleting the entire program files by uninstalling, deleting all files and erasing iTunes from the registry. Also to no avail. i am now stuck with itunes 7.3 which i copied from another computer.
    Can someone please help?

    +near the end, it says "The Older version of AppleSoftwareUpdate cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group"+
    First head into your Add/Remove programs control panel, find the "Apple Software Update" entry, and then attempt to remove it.
    If Add/Remove won't let you uninstall it, or you can't find it in there, or if Add/Remove lets you remove it but you still get the same message on an iTunes install, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Launch the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find "Apple Software Update" in the list of programs in CleanUp, select the Apple Software Update entry, and then click "remove".
    Now restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ITunes 11.2 -  not showing up in apple software update

    Is out. But I cannot download it in the usual way. On 'apple software update' it is not appearing in the available updates list. If I launch iTunes and then check for updates it shows that 11.2 is available and I click box to download. But all this does is launch apple software update box again and of course itunes 11.2 is missing, so not able to download. anyone else seeing same difficulty (this is in london UK)
    Cheers

    Give it some time. With both the iTunes update and the OS X 10.9.3 update being released, Apple's servers are undoubtedly jammed. Or you can just go to the iTunes tab at the top of the page and download the installer from there.
    Regards.

I can d/l the file, wneh it goes to install it through the update tool, I get an error saying the resource is unavailable, i have searched my entire hard drive for the file "applesoftwareupdate.msi" and its not here.
