IPhoto does not start up after upgrading

On my new iMac iPhoto does not start up after migrating. Upgrade from iPhoto 6/Snow Leopard > Lion 10.7.1 with iPhoto 9.1.5. When the conversion is finished I can see the new library, it works allright. And with packet-inspection (or how is that called in English) all maps & data seems to be OK; I can check the seperate pics.
But: iPhoto won't start up a second time (grey screen with infinite spinning wait cursor). The same thing is happening when I add a new library and drop in some pictures.
What can cause this problem?

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • Itunes does not start anymore after upgrade to 6.05.20

    I upgraded itunes to the current version and after that itunes does not start anymore. I scanned for virus with an up-to-date scanner, scanned for adware with Windows defender and ewido and used the tips from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
    I run itunes on Windows Server 2003 which worked fine for three years. I know it is officially supported on XP only.
    I deinstalled itunes and reinstalled afterwards no change. The windows event log shows some erors
    Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 6.0.5.20, faulting module shell32.dll, version 6.0.3790.2662, fault address 0x0015af84.
    Any other idea?
    Thanks
    Christoph

    ok, so I am not sure if this is legal or not, but there is a site called oldversion. Go there, and you can get past versions of applications such as aim , and in this case, itunes. just uninstall your other itunes first.
    Sometimes different versions of appications run better on different computers. this new itunes probably just has something the last one didnt that cant run with what you have on your computer

  • Transport service does not start automatically after upgrade to exchange 2010 SP2 from Exchange 2010 SP1

    Hi,
    I am trying to upgrade Exchange 2010 SP2 from SP1, but Transport service does not start automatically.
    Tried manually start services, it started successfully but again goes down within few seconds automatically.
    Reboot server. but no luck.
    Any help.

    Hi,
    I recommend you use event viewer to check if there are any relate event logs. This may help us to find the cause.
    In addition, as Amit mentioned, Exchange 2010 SP2 isn't supported by Microsoft, I think upgrading to SP3 is a much more sensible approach.
    Thanks.

  • Macbook does not start anymore after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    I successfully upgraded my MacbookAir to Snow Leopard, but my son's Macbook refuses to start after having been upgraded.
    Please help!

    Hello,
    my MacBook Pro (late 2008 unibody) just needs a main logicboard replacement, fortunatly still within warrenty, after updating to 10.6.0. I experienced the following: With an update from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 the MBP freezed within 10min. after reboot, with every restart it freezed after a shorter period and finally freezed during the boot process. I've mounted the MBP as an external HD to my iMac, did an backup and deleted the internal MBP harddrive by overwriting it with zeros. I did the usual procedure of resetting SMC, P/V-RAM and reinstalled 10.5.6 - everything was fine again!
    When Snow Leopard came out, I updated again, hoping the issue has been repaired. BUT I experienced the same problems and with some system permission deleting I got SL running as long as I did not turn on AirPort. As soon airport is activated and an internet connection is established I could count the seconds until the mac freezes. And it will only come up again by deleting the system configuration preferences (via single user mode booting).
    Thereafter I was sure there is a hardware problem with the airport card or the logic board. The Apple Service Provider did not find any hardware failure and finally will change the logic board. Hopefully I got the Mac back next Tuesday. I let you know about the results.
    Best regards!
    PS: Obviously software could damage hardware or some hardware components used by Apple are not compatible with some of their software.

  • After update 7.1.2 Iphoto does not start

    After installing the 7.1.2 update, Iphoto does not start anymore. only the Icon bounce in the dock a few times.
    Restoring the previous Iphoto.app in the applications folder resolves it and iphoto works O.K.
    when i install the 7.1.2 update it again does not start.
    Can someone help me with this??

  • IPhoto does not start to update after my iMac was updated to OS X Yosemite.

    iPhoto has been "paused" after my iMac was updated to OS X Yosemite. iPhoto does not start to update when I click "UPDATE" in App Store "Updates". The circle on the left top corner just keep circling. Do you know how to fix this problem? I cannot download my photos to iPhoto without updating it.

    Thank you LarryHN,
    I could not follow what you have explained to me as I struggled to find iPhoto 9.6. Anyway, while I was struggling, I managed to update iPhoto somehow. Finally, I can use iPhoto!
    Thank you very much for your quick response.

  • My Iphoto does not work properly, after downloading Mavericks.  How can I fix it ?  loading Mavericks

    My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

    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?
    what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
    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?

  • IPhoto does not start up with incompatible Prokit error

    i installed the new version of iphoto 9.3 ( as prompted by software updates). post installation, iphoto does not start up. it throws an error " incompatible prokit framework".

    I have Mac OS 10.8 too and it won't run the last versions of both iPhoto and Aperture. It does work with earlier versions (Aperture 3.2.2 and iPhoto 9.2.3).
    I suggest you to downgrade iPhoto rather than the OS as in less than one week Mac OS 10.8 will be released and hopefully you will be able to update it and to run the last version of iPhoto with it.
    By the way, I think that my grandmother upgraded to this new OS but I don't know how to downgrade it.. LOL

    Same thing happens when i click restart.
    No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

    Did the crash reporter send any crash reports?<br />
    You can see the crash reports in this folder:
    "C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
    See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br /><br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]<br /><br />
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br /><br />
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br /><br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox<br /><br />
    If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • HT1688 My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2

    My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2.  It did not happen right away, but maybe 2 weeks ago.  I tried turning the "do not disturb" on and add allow everyone to call as well as turning it off but it only vibrates when calls come in.  I also turned my phone off and it still only vibrates when calls and messages come in.

    I found another feed and said there is a silent button next to volume bar.  That was the problem.

  • Xfce4-power-manager does not start, but after relogin - works

    Hi all.
    When I login after system start, xfce4-power-manager does not start and systemtray icon doesn't appear.
