IPhoto Crashes so I updated and it still crashes

I have the latest version of iPhoto... just updated today because it was crashing out as soon as I launched it. The update had no effect.
I can create a new photo library and that works a treat with no photos in it however I would like access to my 10,000 plus photo collection that I have.
This issues has come from out of the blue...
I am not technical... Apple stuff should just work... right?
I bought new iPhoto for iCloud usage, it worked fine and now it would seem my library is not working.
Can I create a new library and import the old library in there?
HELP.. why is it not working.

Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library.  If you can then import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists by opening and closing the library.
If the problem does no appear with the new library then your current library is the culprit. In that case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
Fix #2
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.
If the above does'nt help make sure you don't have an 3ivx plugin in either the HD/Library/Quicktime or User/Library/Quicktime folders.

  • I had iPhoto ask me to update and all my pictures disappeared. HELP!

    I had iPhoto ask me to update and all my pictures disappeared. HELP!  I am desperate,  Thank you, Lindsay

    We need to know more to be able to help, Lindsay.
    Did you update to iPhoto 9.6?
    And the photos vanished after you upgraded the iPhoto Library?
    Did iPhoto crash during the upgrade?
    Where is your iPhoto Library stored? Is it on your system drive in your Pictures folder or do you keep the iPhoto library on an external disk?
    If the iPhoto Library is on your system drive in your Pictures folder, select the iPhoto Library in the Finder, ctrl-click or right-click it and select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu. A Finder window will open, showing you, what is there inside your iPhoto Library.
    Do you see folders "Masters" and "Old Masters"?  If there is a folder "Old Masters", look inside. Are there any photos inside?

    Hey High Socks,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes isn't working when you try to launch it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

    Simple and fast solution: restore from your back up.
    Other than that:
    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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    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.

  • TS1702 have educatioan apps for my lil one, and i try to purchase the whole thing and it wouldnt let me from my ipad. everything is all updated and it still wont let me purchase anything

    there are four apps for my son on my ipad, that the itunes store will not let me purchase from my ipad thru the app or on it. it wont let me buy the whole app so my lil one can enjoy. i have tried everything. i have updated everything and restarted everything and it still wont let me purchase anything. all it tells me to to go to the itunes store support. i did and i see no solution

    I think that you mean that you are getting a message to contact iTunes Store Support. There must be some issue with your account that only iTunes support can solve for you.
    Go here and click on the iTunes Store Support link on the right side and then in the next window, click on Purchases, Billing and Redemption, then click on Unable to Purchase from the iTunes Store, then click on email in the next window. Send an email and tell them what you are experiencing.

  • FiOS Quantum Update and I still have DVR issues after three weeks!!!

    Verizon,
    I have not been able to set up a NEW SERIES on my Quantum DVR for three weeks and I am getting tired of it.
    I went through all the troubleshooting with a tech on the phone, and had two techs come to my house. It is not my equipment, it is a BUG in the latest and greatest update, and I cannot revert back to the previous version! I am tired of paying extra money for a service I cannot use. Nobody has communicated with me in over a week. This is ridiculous and your customer service is really upsetting me. I am very disappointed in a new service that is now not working due to a poorly executed automatic update. At least let us choose to do updates. I usually wait a few weeks to make sure other people do not have any problems. Well, a bit buggy and as I have said, I am tired of it.
    GET IT FIXED, OR GIVE ME BACK MY OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT WORKED FINE. TIME TO DOWNGRADE, TO GET THE SERVICE I AM PAYING FOR.
    I will continue pointing people toward DirecTV until this is resolved. I am telling anyone who will listen about the poorly executed update and the poor customer service.
    Thanks...

    Good morning TNS_2,
    I get the fact that you have been on these forums for some time and helped some people out. You are not going to be able to help me, or all the other people affected by this latest and greatest update. {please keep it relevant}
    While I do appreciate you replying, I was not looking for any reply from any peers, just to let Verizon know that all of us who got the update and had it go very bad on our new DVR's are tired of it.
    I have gone through troubleshooting on the phone and had FiOS techs to my house. The techs all know about it and are as frustrated about it as we are. This is a known issue that is irritating more and more people every day. I am not going to describe my issue further, as there is nothing you or any other peers can do. It is all up to Verizon to fix what they broke!
    So, if you are offended by me speaking my mind, I appologize. We all know that Verizon keeps an eye on forums to see what social media is saying about them. They will be able to keep an eye on Google searches as I am launching a website about my recent Verizon experience with their new Quantum service. I will use plenty of keywords to ensure it is found in a search.
    Your stuff may be working great at this time. There are several others who are having problems. We all know that only a handful of people ever post on forums. After doing a search on the Quantum DRV update problem, it is obvious Verizon has some issues that is affecting their customers. We (peers) can all agree on that.
    You say you dont want replies from peers, just Verizon, but Verizon doesnt read these posts at all like you think they do. These are simply peer to peer forums. Only the mods who run the forums are here and esculate issues to support if the issue qualifies.
    Verizon does have a long list of bugs since the latest update that they dropped the ball on and we can only hope they are working on it and will push out a fix very soon. They did release the update without properly testing it first. There's not much we can do except wait and I'm hoping since its taking some time to roll a new update out they are doing it right this time and are not only fixing the issues, but testing them before just rolling it out. I highly doubt the top guys in Verizon do google searches looking for issues we are having when they already know about them. The only thing that would possibly send them a message on if one is frustrated is leaving them all together.

  • Issue with recent iPhoto/Photo app syncing-updating and deleting issues.

    I had sync my mom's iPad to her iPhoto library only to find that I cannot delete photos from her iPad without first sync-ing up to her Mac and deleting photos from iPhoto, first, then re-sync her iPad to delete the photos from her iPad. Her Mac is running 10.5.8 with iPhoto 9 (8.1.2)
    Why can't I delete her photos directly from my iPad?
    I can delete images/photos if I just send them over email and save them to her iPad photo app without using iPhoto, but it's a long inconvenient process.
    Second, I made a slew of edits to her photos after initially sync-ing them to her iPad. The iPhoto makes the updates, but when I re-sync her iPad, the iPad is not transfering or updating its photo app database to reflect the changes I made to her images in iPhoto.
    What Gives?
    I am going to have her download an image editing app for her iPad eventually, but for right now we are using iPhoto.
    Why isn't the iPad accepting the updated data from the edits I make in iPhoto?

  • Why don't my updates to iOS 7 fix anything? I have been up to date on my updates and am still experiencing problems. Not amused apple. Can anyone help before I go to a surface?

    I have updated regularly and followed all instructions to solve the problems related to the constant freezes, app closes and misfires on certain apps as well as all other operating problems, but all I get is a problem. I have been trying to fix this by myself and now I am feeling like I need to go to a different tablet. I love my iPad 2, but this iOS update has brought me nothing but grief. Every time it ray to access my Netflix account, it will lock me out or ask me to sign in again, I will be playing a game and then it will open other apps randomly. I have reloaded the apps, restarted the iPad and followed all other procedures. So tell me why I should stay with apple. It is an annoying problem to have with a 500$ piece of tech that is for my enjoyment AND school. It boggles my mind that as soon as Steve Jobs leaves this earth, so does the greatness of Apple and it turns into another company that no longer cares about beta testing a new software. Advice from a consumer, wait a little longer and double test the product before unleashing it onto a public that just wants working technology. If you want me to shell out over 1500$ for a laptop, or 600$ for a tablet, then you have to be better than say Microsoft or Google. Can anyone help?

    Have you tried, "resets" ??
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Have you tried retoring iOS software > iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    My iPad 2 is not having any issues running v7.0.3.

  • I bought a Nikon D610 and just tried to upload a RAW file to photoshop CS5 and was not able to.  It said CS5 doesn't support the new file and to update it.  I downloaded camera raw 6 4 1 update and it still doesn't work.  Am I missing a step?

    I

    Unfortunately, Photoshop CS5 is not going to be able to open your D610 files directly.
    The camera is newer than the latest update for your version of the software.  Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS5 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    To double check this yourself, using Adobe documentation:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Since your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can then open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter does work, but if you want maximum quality from your new camera's raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you may want to consider upgrading to the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.
