IPhoto is unable to open after a corrupted (?) update. Any solution or link to the latest update?

I have recently updated my iPhoto but was unable to finish the update. After that, I haven't been able to use it because it won't open. Any link to the latest update or solutions I can do? Thanks!

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 or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

    Apps will not open after ios5 install.  Any solutions?

    My husband had the same problem with some apps after I updated his iPad 2 to iOS 5.  I checked the app store and there were updates for the apps to support the new software.  After updating, all apps work just fine.

  • While playing farmville i cannot open my buildings and such, i could before i got the latest update for firefox this morning

    Prior to installing the latest update for Firefox this morning, all was well, but since that time, when I go to Farmville, it won't allow me to open my giftbox, barns, inventory, or bakery. It was fine until then. I tried Internet Explorer, (which I hate that browser with a passion) but it allowed me to do those things. I restarted and rebooted and it didn't help the problem. Is there anyway to undo ONLY the last update to Firefox?

    -> Update Firefox to the latest version 10

  • I'm running windows 7, downloaded firefox 3.6, when I click to open and run the exe file, it says the file is corrupt. Any thoughts? I have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed

    Says file is corrupt every time I try to install Firefox 3.6

    Hi Raphe,
    There are a couple of things I know that can cause this. One of which I have experienced myself.
    Sometimes, your router may be faulty. This will usually effect all downloads unless they are very small files. I have experienced this myself, and found the only way to fix the problem is to replace it.
    Another problem that could cause this is a virus. You should scan your computer for viruses using a trusted antivirus. The virus is sometimes scareware which claims you have a virus, but actually, the only virus is the scareware antivirus!
    I hope this helps,

  • IPhoto '11 version 9.0.1 didn't fix"iphoto is unable to open this library"

    I upgraded iPhoto to version 9.0.1 but I still have the same issue : iPhoto '11 is unable to open and update my photos library. After launching iPhoto, it tried to update the library but I got the message "iphoto is unable to open this library". I tried all the workaround mentioned by the members of this forum without success. I even rebuild my library with the maintenance mode of iPhoto '09 before trying again to update it with iPhoto '11.
    What should I do? Am I the only one in this case with version 9.0.1 ?
    I need to access back to my photos and I'm surprised Apple is yet unable to propose a workaround for bypassing this library updating issue. By the way, it is strange that for being able to update a defective library you need to run the rebuilding options, but for being able to rebuild the library with iPhoto '11, you need first to update it. We are in a dead end!
    Message was edited by: Fred@M

    You are not alone! I have the exact same problem, and 9.0.1 didn't help me either.
    iPhoto 9.0 originally gave me this error. I removed it and re-installed iPhoto 8, which opens gives errors about the library needing repair. After running some of the rebuilding options I got the library open but all items from 2010 are missing.
    I then reinstalled iPhoto 9.0.1 and tried to open an older backup of my iPhoto library that works fine with iPhoto 8. That won't open either, with the same error message- "iPhoto is unable to open this library." So basically I can't use iPhoto 9.0.1 at all, and with my most current library trashed I will have to go back to my nearly year-old backup library (I know, my bad) and import all newer photos, which I fortunately have stored elsewhere, again.
    Or more likely, I will keep using my "backup" library on my PC with Picasa until I can try another iPhoto update that will hopefully restore my damaged library (wishful thinking, I suspect!)

  • Everytime I attempt to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying, "iPhoto is unable to open this library," and the only option if gives is to quit. How do I get it to open?

    When I select iPhoto to open the application, a message comes up saying, "iPhoto is unable to open this library," and the only option available is to quit. I don't know what library iPhoto is attempting to open, but all I want to do is just start iPhoto over from scratch.

    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' to find out what Library is in question. Use the 'Create Library' option to make a new one.
    To try and repair the damaged one:
    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. .

  • IPhoto is unable to open this library

    When I try to open my iPhoto library, I get the following message:
    "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto."
    I click "Upgrade" and then get the following error message:
    "iPhoto is unable to open this library."
    I am using iPhoto 9.2.1, Mac OS 10.7.2, on an old iMac 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of RAM.  My photos are stored on a Western Digital My World Book 2 network drive.  Multiple computers have accessed this iPhoto library over my home network with no issues.
    This problem just developed this week.  I take all the software updates as they come along, but don't think anything was updated within the past 3 weeks.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Larry,
    The problem seems isolated to one computer.  I am still able to access my iPhoto library from a second computer.  Do you know how I can force iPhoto look to a different library file?  I have tried holding down the Control key while launching iPhoto, but it doesn't seem to work for this.
    Also, I have been able to use the WD drives with my iPhoto library.  The "My World Book 2" has always supported my iPhoto library.  I have a larger WD ShareSpace that recently got a firmware upgrade to support the Mac OS extended (journaled) format.  They call it Hierarchical File System + Journaled (HFS+J).
    Thanks for your help!
    Mark

  • Iphoto is unable to open

    I have been trying to upgrade iPhoto to 9.2 (so I can work photostream) but having problems.
    First I ran my library off a NAS and it couldn't upgrade because it was "unable to repair permissions". Having tried to fix that, I gave up and copied library back onto my local machine.
    Now I am getting "unable to open library" error message.
    HELP please!

    WHat's the exact message?
    The iPhoto Library requires a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) so the NAS is not a suitable environment for it.
    Regards

  • Iphoto wont open after the latest update

    I did the latest update from Apple and now my iPhoto won't open.  It says it supported on this type of Mac.  I've been using it for 2 years!! What do I need to do?

    What did you update?  What iPhoto do you have?
    If you updated to Mavericks from a previous Mac OS X then you have to upgrade iPhoto to 9.5.1 as the prior versions will not run with Mavericks.

  • My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything!

    My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything! It used to crash when importing but now I'm at the point where I open the software and after 2 seconds it crashes (nothing connected either). What to do? Can't access any photos

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create a new library and import some test photos then the problem lies with your original library. 
    If that's the 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 iPhoto crashes while trying to create a new library then try this:
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that fails to help a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all relavant updaters.
    P.S.  If you're still running Tiger, 10.4.6, then the above may not apply.  If you're running a newer system you should update your profile so we have a better idea of where you're at.

  • I have an album of 30 videos, and recently am unable to open those individual videos. Any ideas?

    I have an album containing many videos and recently am unable to open those files.  I used to double-click and the video would start; now it shows the picture only. Any ideas??

    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 see when you try to play a video in iPhoto?
    can you play the video from outside of iPhoto with QT Player?
    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?
    Download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later and try playing the videos again.

  • I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now  it crashes every time I try to open it

    I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now  it crashes every time I try to open it

    Do you have iOS 5.1.1 on your original iPad? If not update the iOS.
    You might also try quitting the app and then reset the pad.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Still no joy? Delete the Keynote app, reset the iPad and then reinstall Keynote. You will not have to pay for downloading it again.

  • When I try to open the Iphoto it keeps on asking for the software update but when I click on the software update tab, it says that all updates are up to date. I still cant open the Iphoto, what should I do?

    How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
    If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
    Otherwise you update via Softare Update
    If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
    If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.
