Iphoto has error and won't open

I went to transfer pics from my camera to iphoto yesterday & an error occured. At first it said 7 of my 130 could not be transferred. 123 pics were transferred. When I went to view and edit them only 33 were available. Now when I go to open iphoto an error message pops up and immediately shuts iphoto down. I can't see any of my pics. Pls advise

Need the version of the OS, of iPhoto and the exact error message

  • Mail has crashed and won't open at all

    My MAC Mail App has crashed and refuses to open. I have tried force quitting, and rebooting but no avail. It crashed while I was trying to delete an overly large draft file (140 MB). It's crashed when my attachments got too large before. But now I can't open it, can't access any of my mail and it's wreaking havoc on my schedule since there are many key emails I can't get to!
    I don't know how to reinstall and worry I will lose the existing mails. Any advice?
    HELP!
    Thanks,
    Haochong

    Take a look in /Users/yourusername/Library/Mail. There should be several directories, among them directories and files for you local folders for all of your accounts. Find the correct files and drag them out to the Desktop (do not delete them, so you can move them back). This could help Mail.app to start again, however, the mails in the folders you moved to the Desktop will disappear (at least for POP3-accounts; IMAP-account will get resynced).

  • Iphoto has crashed and will not open.  Can I reinstall Iphoto without loosing my existing photos?

    Iphoto crashed and will not start.  How do I save my existing photos and videos and reinstall Iphoto?

    reinstalling will not cure this - you need to rebuild your library- Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
    And the ONLY way to "save" your photos and videos - and every other file on your computer - is to always have a good current backup - sooner or later your disk will fail and with no backup you will lose everything

  • Iphoto requires upgrade and won't open

    Hello - I have been having trouble with my iPhoto for a  long time.  For the longest time it would say I need to upgrade, and then it would open, but now, it still asks me for an upgrade, but says it's either "in use" or not readable.

    Hello there - so I am going to try my best to give you an entire view of all of my issues with iPhoto.
    My Operating System: OSX Version 10.9.3
    iPhoto Version 9.5.1
    When I click on iPhoto App - a dialogue box pops up, "Your Photo Library Needs to be Upgraded" with options to either "quit" or "upgrade".  I always choose "upgrade" as this has been happening for a long long time, and when selecting "upgrade" - it was opening fine.   Since about 1 month or so ago, it no longer opens up after selecting "upgrade". 
    our photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable
    Now what is happening, is a 2nd dialogue box pop ups indicating, "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable".
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup." 
    I have tried EVERY single option listed above at least 10 times, with no different outcome. 
    My iPhoto Library is on an external drive.  What other information do you require, as I really concerned about losing all my pictures.
    Thank you!!

  • Photoshop CC errors and won't open

    I downloaded Photoshop CC the other day, and it worked fine. Today when I try and open Photoshop I am getting a multitude of errors about ‘FastCore Routines Module’, ‘MMXCore Routines module’, ‘Multiprocessor Support module’, and then that it could not ‘initialise Photoshop the internal file signature is incorrect’. Help!

    Sounds like the updater failed and you still have older plugins, or you copied plugins from an older version that you shouldn't have.
    Not launching Photoshop means that the binary is corrupt or the updater failed.
    Usually uninstalling and reinstalling, then re-updating, is the quickest way to solve it.

  • Mavericks Upgrade Caused Itunes error and won't open now

    I was using the current version of itunes 11.2.1 just fine on my macbook pro (2009) until that same day I upgraded to Mavericks. Now Itunes tells me I need to be in 64 bit. I was indeed already operating in 64 bit though prior to upgrade.  I looked at the Get Info on my Itunes as the error message suggested but the 32 bit box option is NOT checked.
    I went into my system report and looked at the various apps I have that used either 64 bit or 32 bit options.  Some were indeed using 64 bit, however the Itunes report showed:
    iTunes:

    I transfer all of my sheet music onto my Ipad Onsong App via Itunes on the mac when I sync.  I am dead in the water right now
    I have searched High and Low online trying to find a solution.  Any suggetions as to how I can proceed? 
    And NO.... I don't use Time Machine (my bad... but too late now....)

    hi there, ive been getting the same problem and ive tried everything in the links supplied, i have even downloaded quicktime seperately and the downloaded itune, if my windows installer open itunes then it will work but you keep have to uninstall, download and re-install, very, very inconsiderate, i have also created a post but no replies yet, apple support on phone are useless, i think it is itunes conflicting with quicktime but as you downlod both versions together, what can you do, i wouldnt mind if they conflicted wiv roxio of nero but its their own stupid programs that are doing it, i am very anoyed, tryed to work this out for 6 days now, anyway i hope you have more luck than i have had

  • Disc Icon has padlock, and won't open, How do I unlock it?

    I have 4 internal Hard drives and two external drives. I had to re-install my Mac OS 10.6.8. Now on of the Internal drives and one of the external (the one that contains my Time Machine Backups) have a padlock on the desktop icon. I get the message "The folder "___" can't be opened because you don't have permission tp see its contents". In the "Get Info" window, It doesn't matter whether the "Ignore ownrship on this volume" is checked or not. Under "Sharing & Permissions", it says "You have custom access". All of the Account Names say "Custom" under "Privilege", and can't be changed. What is going on, and how do I fix it?

  • My iPhoto is wiped and won't open, I also can't restore it

    My iphoto is wiped of all photos but I am unable to restore orphaned photos or do any other option.

    Try using a different cable to charge the device - it COULD be the cable that is bad.  If that is not the case, you can likely get an out of warranty replacement for $269.00 USD in an Apple Retail store, or by calling Applecare.
    Good luck.

  • My Iphoto application stays on the opening loading sign stage and won't open up at all

    Hi there - first time user, so please be patient ...
    Does anyone know why my Iphoto won't open?  I can't figure out why it just stays on the opening loading sign stage and won't open up any more - was working previously but seems to freeze in that opening symbol stage now whenever I try to directly open it or use it through the application field to open any jpeg format.
    Cheers

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
    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. .

  • Why has my Preview stopped responding and won't open any files?

    Why has my Preview stopped responding and won't open any files?
    Each time I try to open Preview it just hangs and I have to close the Prog by "Force Quit"

    nerbyad,
    Sorry to hear you are having this issue today.
    Does this happen on all files or a specific file?
    If this is happening on a specific file, it is most likely that file.
    If this is happening on all files, I would check to see if this is happening in other users accounts as well.  If you dont have other users, create one and see if preview works inside that new user account.
    Let me know...
    Wes -

  • How can I get my wireless keyboard battery access to open. It's like the bloody thing has seized up and won't open?

    How can I get my wireless keyboard battery access to open. It's like the bloody thing has seized up and won't open? Tried the coin...nope.  Tried a screw driver...nope! Even tried WD-40 - nope! Or does this mean it's now in the boat anchor pile!

    They are designed for coins... is this your first time changing the battery? Make sure you are twisting in the right direction and make sure you are pushing down on it and applying pressure at the same time you turn.

    Assuming you want Apple to look at iPhone without a charge a good way to
    start is to show you have tried the standard troubleshooting as I
    suggested.
    These are described in the user manual and even under warranty

    Why did you wipe the drive?
    Were you having problems?
    If you were those problem may be related to a failing hard drive and that is why the TM backup could be restored.
    In you topic header you say the system won't boot from the SL DVD, But it di for you to wipe the drive. Then it should again boot from the SL DVD.
    Insert the DVD and reboot, hold down the Option key and select the Optical drive, SL DVD, as the Boot source.
