IPHOTO -I can't open my photos by clicking on them
I can't open my photos by clicking on them when using Iphoto although everything else seems to be working OK.
Any ideas??
Try resetting the PS CC preferences and check if it's an issue with corrupt preferences : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
Try to open PS CC in Plugin Disabled mode and check the same. For that Press Shift+PS CC icon and hit Yes.
Let me know if that helps.

After update I am no longer able to open email attachments by just clicking on the attachment. I now have to click control and then click open linked file. How can I open attachments by simply clicking on them?
Unless you believe middle-click is yours and don't like it being usurped, mine is set globally to "Enter".

IPhoto 09 can't open my photo library
I've just installed iPhoto 09 on my Mac Mini. When I open iPhoto, I get prompted to upgrade my photo library: "The photo library needs to be upgraded…"
I click Upgrade and immediately get a dialog box saying, "There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto library. Do you want iPhoto to repair permissions for this library for you?"
Mild concern at this, but I've got a backup of the library, so I click Repair. Almost immediately I get another dialog box: "iPhoto was unable to repair permissions for the library." The only available options is Quit.
I store my iPhoto library on my ReadyNAS NV+, using AFP. I know from the many posts on here that storing photos on a NAS is not recommended, etc. I didn't discover that until after installation - I'd never questioned it. I don't have space on the Mini to install the library locally: it's almost 30GB and over 10k photos.
I can still open the iPhoto library successfully using my MacBook which I have thankfully not upgraded to 09. However this doesn't work as a long-term solution for me.
I've bought software that won't work. I don't have Time Machine running yet so I don't see an easy way to revert to iPhoto 06. Any suggestions more than welcome…Hey Healthily,
I fixed it! After months of not being able to upgrade and not being able to figure it out. Here's what I did:
Step 0. Watch the log in Console and you should see that it fails after a message similar to cannot lstat such and such a file. That file, in my case, was a .afpDeleteXXXXX file (where XXXXX was a string of five digits). Deleting the file from Terminal on the Mac *did not fix things* - the file seemed to stay around even though it no longer appeared with a `ls -al` in Terminal.
Step 1. On the ReadyNAS, install the ToggleSSH and EnableRootSSH add-ons.
Step 2. SSH into your ReadyNAS from Terminal. The command, if you don't know, is ssh [email protected] (or whatever your NAS' IP address is). Your password will be the same as the Frontview login.
Step 3. cd (change directory) into the directory containing the problem file.
Step 4. rm (remove) the file. I actually removed several similar files with the command: rm afpDelete - Strangely, the filename here appeared to start with ":e2" instead of a period.
Step 5. Launch iPhoto again, click through the familiar-by-now prompt to Upgrade. This time, it should work. At least it did for me finally - ymmv, but I hope it works for you too!

Iphoto Update-can't open/access photos
Frustrating! IPhoto has put all my photos on the cloud and updated Iphoto. Now I can not open the app, nor access any of my pictures. When going to set up up, It brings up a forced "option" to buy storage. What if don't want to buy storage? I feel like my photos are being held hostage at the moment but I know that there has to be an alternative. Can anyone decifer what's going on?
You'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1 by following the directions posted by Terence Devlin in this topic:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11. Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11. Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.
when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version. We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
When we try to open iphoto is says:
To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto. -
Upgraded to iPhoto '11, can't open photos
I decided to update from iPhoto '09 (Part of iLife '09) to '11 the other day. I performed a backup and then purchased the software from the App Store. The install finished with no errors and the updating of the iPhoto Library went fine as well.
When I opened the iPhoto, I wanted to make sure nothing was wrong before importing some new photos. I clicked on Albums and they all showed up; even the preview as you slide over the album worked. I double-clicked an album and saw the thumbnails of all the photos. So far so good.
However, when opening a photo (double-click a thumbnail to open), I am rewarded with a screen of garbled information, including upside-down words and other unusual info. If I close the photo and try another photo, the same thing happens.
I tried 20 or so albums and the exact same thing happens on every photo I try to open.
I searched the web and found a few issues with the update, but none that mentioned anything remotely like this. Most of the issues involved missing albums and/or thumbnails. They suggested rebuilding the thumbnails via a start-up utility.
Since my albums are all there, I don't know that I want to try this.
Here is a screenshot of the album thumbnails prior to attempting to open a photo:
Here is what happens when I open one of the images:
Cool, huh? You will notice that the thumbnails are still displaying properly below the scrambled image. I can click on them, but get an image similar, but not the same, as the first.
Tried contacting Apple Support; they may as well have been robots as the support person never bothered to read the email and sent me instruction on how to resume a failed download...thanks!!!
Anyone with a similar experience is welcome to join in this discussion...especially if you found a solution.
MacBook Pro Late 2008
Mac OS X v10.7.5
Plenty of available disk space (>200 GB)
Plenty of Ram (8GB)
Tried with my normal programs open (MS Office, Calendar, etc. and tried with no other user programs open.a couple of notes - nothing happened to your photos - something happened to the display of them which you easily fixed
Neither adobe PSE not iPhoto store your photos - your photos are stored on a disk drive and the finder indexes them - no matter what management program you use your photos are stored the same and the same software is used to keep track of where the file is that holds the photo
The only protection for your files (including your photos) is a good backup - I do three - this is true no matter what photos manager you use
I have not looked at PSE recently (I have PSE 6) but I do not believe it has nearly as strong a photo managent system as iPhoto, does not maintain the original as iPhoto does, does not have lossless editing as iPhoto does and it has no integration into other software on the Mac or to iCloud or PhotoStream

I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?
Exactly what did you do?
The correct steps are
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
My guess is that that you have not switched iphoto to use the external drive yet - opttion launch and select libary

Can not open Events photos in iPhoto 9.5.1
can not open Events photos in iPhoto 9.5.1
We need detaoils
What does show for the ones that do not have the picture?
Is is an ! - if do
This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
this can be caused by two things
1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2 or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the iPhoto library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you did them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of any "clean up software" ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - If it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - repair permissions and then rebuild your database

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac
The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

Recently l installed Leopard and then iLife 08. All seemed to be working OK but then today as I was attempting to do software updates I had a complete "power shutdown" which I have had before and usually on restart all is OK. Not this time. Can't open iPhoto. Other iLife programs seem to be OK.
How can I get iPhoto to open. Have done disc repair and trashed the iPhoto .plist file.
I do have iPhoto Library Manager. 2 Libraries-one on my hard drive and the other on an external drive.
Hope someone out there can help me. Thanking you in advance.
JackJack:
Does iPhoto open at all and just give you an empty library or does it bounce in the dock and then close? If it's the latter it sounds like you'll have to reinstall it from the disks it came on. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Then apply the lastest updates and repair disk permissions with Disk Utility.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard. -
Upgraded to ILife and now can't open my photos
I had all my photos in iPhoto then I upgraded to iLife '11 and now I can't open my photos, Any suggestions?
now I can't open my photos, Any suggestions?
Jody,
What happens when you try to open your iPhoto library? An error message? Does iPhoto not launch?
please post back with more information.
What version of iPhoto did you upgrade from? You may need to download and run iPhoto Library Upgrader to be able to upgrade to the latest version, if you upgraded from iPhoto 5 or earlier.

I can't open Icloud Photos. It says It is preparing my library but it won't open even after waiting for hours. My storage isn't full. I've tried different browsers and I have turned my computer on and off.
iCloud doesn't work that way.
You take images on your iOS 5.1 devices and Photo Stream "pushes" the images via Wi-Fi connection to your other devices and computers.
You take a picture using your iPhone and it is sent to your computer or other iOS 5.1 devices. You can't view the images online unless you use iOS 5.1 version of iPhoto ($4.99) to create "Journals". Journals are Web based viewing. -
In iPhoto how can I place older photos on maps
in iPhoto how can I place older photos on maps
Select a pic
Click on the i button lower right, and this will open the Info Pane
Note Lower Right it says 'Assign a Place' and type the name of the town/city
iPhoto will search for that location and put a pin there on a map.
Drag the pin to the exact location.

I have photos on a cd which I'm trying to open . If I click on them I can see the picture in the preview, but when I double click it doesn't recognise the picture. They are all in .jpg format. Tried copying them but it said some data cannot be read. The files exist but I just can't seem to view them
Select one and hit the Space bar to view it in QuickLook. Use the forward arrow keys to move from file to file. If the file can't be viewed in the QuickLook mode then the file is damaged and probably can't be copied or moved.
You could try a photo file recovery application like MediaRECOVER which can scan the memory card and tell you what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.
