IPhoto icon no longer links up to app/pics

Not sure if my icon in dock got lost or deleted but it's no longer there. Photos still in library on HD.
I put a new link to iPhoto (dragged app to dock) but now it opens up a new empty iPhoto Library
wihtout any of my old photos or videos.
How can I get it to find the old application? I tried deleting the pref. in library, but nothing changed.
My ibook is using 10.4.11 and the app is v 6.0.6
Thank you in advance.

Then the Library isn damaged. Best solution: Restore from your back up. next best:
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.

  • Menu Bar Icons disappear/Long boot times for apps

    This is what my menu bar looks like. Also, it is taking forever for apps to open and boot time is longer than normal. Any Idea what could be the problem? I already deleted any 3rd party app I recently downloaded and deleted all files I recently downloaded as well. Let me know what you all think. Thanks

    I don't think that is the issue, as I do not even have that option in my Desktop & Screen Saver preferences. Below is what I see.
    Also, notice the forward and back arrows in the top let, as well as the + and - icons are missing. This is how all of my windows are. Any other ideas? Any other info I can provide to help?
    Thanks

  • After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Why ... dock icons no longer display lights below most running apps

    and there is no op-tion to quit a running app in right-click dock menu. Dock icons for some of the running apps have lights, but quitting the app from the dock is initially unsuccessful.  Icon either initially, or after quitting the app disiplays 'force qut', which, when clicked, doesn't work, either.  Left-clicking the icon (thats the 3rd click) finaly kills the app and removes the icon from the dock.

    Command + Q is the quickest way to quit a running Application. Click its icon in the Dock to give it focus, then press Command Q keys and its gone. No need to mess about with right clicking and selecting.

  • My iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have "iPhoto" 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

    my iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have “iPhoto” 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

    iPhoto 9.2.3 is incompatible with MacOS 10.9.3 Mavericks. If you are running Mavericks on your system you need to update iPhoto to 9.5.1. Only, the problem is, that this version is no longer available at the App Store.
    The easiest way to get a compatible iPhoto version in that case would be to upgrade to Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10, and then download the most recent iPhoto version from the AppStore, iiPhoto 9.6, like LarryHN suggested.
    If you cannot download iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6 post back.

  • My iPhoto would no longer open, I uninstalled it, and tried to reinstall it using my software reinstall drive. A message keeps coming up that installation failed, What can I do now?

    My IPhoto would no longer open, I uninstalled it, and tried to reinstall it with my software reinstall drive.  A message keeps coming up, installation failed. What do I now?

    If you have a copy of it backed up, restore that. If not, back up your computer, upgrade it to Mavericks, and then get the current iPhoto version. If you don't have it backed up and don't want to upgrade, go to the Mac App Store main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

  • Lost iPhoto icon.

    I have been trying to load Hotspot Shield for some time and it tells me that I need Rosetta. I read the box that comes up and it said to get my disks and load the optional applications. So, I put in the applications disk first and loaded it. MISTAKE! My iPhoto icon dissapeared. There is a question mark where it should be and if you scroll over it it says iPhoto but won't open. In my applications menu iPhoto is not there at all. Did I lose all my pictures or can I recover them somehow? Is there some way to restore like on a PC? I am new to MAC and I need help please.

    I looked on teh applications dvd and iPhoto or iLife are not there. I installed that disk thinking that it was where the Rosetta was in the first place and that is were my problem happened. Then I put in the operations disk and went to the optional installs and found the Rosetta. After that I realized that my iPhoto icon was gone and replaced by a question mark. I paid the $15 and I am downloading the iPhoto program from the App Store now. It is taking an awful long time to download but I hope this works. I am in Okinawa Japan on a military assignment and I don't want to lose the pics of the place and my family here. I have been in tears trying to recover the pics. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and helping me. I tried clicking on the iPhoto library and it tells me that it doesn't have the program to open it.

    Hi Terence, I hope you can help me too. I have a problem with opening iPhoto.

  • After replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?

    after replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?
    any suggestions on how to fix this ?

    what version of iPhoto are you using? i can't begin to answer that - it is no longer listed in my applications & has only a shadow of its icon in the dock
    what version did you have before the drive replacement? same answer
    what system version are you running? 10.8.5 - the one i was using when the hard drive died
    what exactly do you see when iPhoto attempts to launch? -it doesn't attempt to launch - i get a message saying "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X. You have  OS X 10.8.5. The application requires OS X 10.9 or later".
    what have you tried? wringing my hands ! i daren't try anything after the hard drive crash
    where is your library located? there is an iPhoto library folder on my desktop with random photos & albums - not all - put there by me - i vaguely remember a problem with iPhoto when i upgraded from snow leopard
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring? after the drive replacement i uploaded saved data from a week old back up and found iphoto looking somewhat sick - no updates were offered in software updates
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? i'm afraid i do not know what that means
    what type of Mac? a macbook pro
    how much free space on your boot drive? about 380 GB
    thank you very much for your questions - i hope i find some answers 

  • I can no longer activate my CC apps on my desktop, whenever I try to sign in I get an error stating I'm offine or the clock is set incorrectly.

    As the header states, since yesterday I can no longer activate Any CC app on my desktop. But on my Surface Pro 2, that is online using the same internet connection over Wifi, I can activate my apps just fine.
    I switch between working on my tablet and desktop sometimes, and deactivating and activating my subscription on both worked just fine until yesterday.
    I tried activating offline, but that doesn't seem to work either, because I can't get a Request code.
    Thanks,

    The CC is activated on two systems. Please go through the trouble shooting steps in :

  • After update iMovie and OS Yosemite recovery, iPhoto icon disappeared. How can I find photos stored on iPhoto?

    I am using iOS Yosemite 10.10.3. After update iMovie version 10.10.08 and OS Yosemite Recovery. iPhoto icon disappeared. I opened the Photos icon but all my images which used to be in iPhoto were not there. How do I access those images in iPhotos?

    Go to Finder>Applications and open the iPhotos app.
    Apple want you to use the new Photos app which now should be in your Dock. Photos will import your iPhoto library

    I attempted to open iPhoto and got this message: you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Now the iPhoto icon has a little line through it.
    Nice. Shall I say goodbye to my treasured iPhoto library? What happened?
    I did just upgrade my iPhone to OS 5. Could that be related somehow?
    Help!

    1. Back up your iPhoto Library - you should always have a back up anyway.
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    2. Reinstall
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    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.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Why do I have 2 iPhoto icons?

    After updated the iPhoto recently, it came up 2 iPhoto icons.  They are exactly the same (the version are same and using same library).  I tried to delete one of them, as a result the iPhoto app was totally deleted.  Please help how to keep 1 iPhoto icon only.

    You seem to have duplicated your iPhoto Library on or around June 20 last.
    Open then both to compare the contents: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    Yes, you can trash the duplicate once you're sure it's a duplicate.
    Should I delete the older one by dragging to trash or move to a back up disc first
    You need a back up no matter what.
    For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator
