IPhoto Issues After Installing Lion

I installed Lion onto my MacBook Pro and my iMac yesterday. Everything seems okay except my issues with iPhoto. I ended up upgrading my iPhoto because I thought that was the issue. My iMac's iPhoto worked perfectly. My MBP on the other hand, did not. The main iPhoto library works fine, but I have another library (sitting on my desktop that I pulled from my extern HD back-up) that I was using prior to the Lion install that has most of my pics on it. I have tried everything to get the pics to come up, but nothing shows up and I have to force quit the program. I tried even opening up and upgrading the iphoto database on my iMac to see if it was just a MBP issue, but it's not working. I hope I didn't lose my pics! Please help!

I came to the genius bar, and we were able to find a way around this issue. Out of the two iPhoto libraries that I had, I was having issues with only one (the one with the majority of my photos). Assuming you have an iPhoto library that DOES work, follow the following instructions for the fix.
Find the icon of the iPhoto library that you are unable to open. CTRL+click on the icon and select "Show Package Contents."
You will see a folder called "Originals." Copy that to your desktop. Then, open the iPhoto library that does work (hold down OPTION key while you click the iPhoto program logo to allow you to choose which iPhoto library to open).
Once iPhoto is open, drag and drop the "Originals" folder from your desktop to your iPhoto for importing. Once you comfirm that you have all of your photos, feel free to delete the old iPhoto library that you weren't using (double check to make sure to delete the correct one), as well as the "Originals" folder.
Pro: You have all of your photos back all in one place.
Con: You have to reorganize all of your photos and you lose the folders that they were in.
Good luck!

IWeb not showing iPhoto library after installing Lion

Hi, can anyone help with this issue ?
Since I have installed Lion, the iPhoto library that showed up on the right hand side of iWeb is not showing up.
Has anyone else also faced this issue after installing Lion ? Is there a solution ?

Thanks for your reply, but the Media is turned ON, I can see the iTunes content but no pictures from iPhoto.
It keeps on showing, "Loading photos".

I am having start up issues after installing lion

after installing lion on my mac mini it is having major start up issues, sometimes it will not start up at all. Is anyone having the same issues?

After I used MIgration Assistant on my new Mac Mini, Lion would have kernel panics shortly after startup every time. I am pretty sure it was some virus software or network filterting software that ran background tasks that was causing the problem.
Can you startup in single user mode or safe mode?

Serious log in issues after installing Lion Server

Hi all,
I am relatively inexperienced with software involving essentially anything technical, so you will have to pardon my ignorance.
I am currently trying to set-up a wireless network at home using Lion Server, and it would appear I have bitten off more than I can chew. I installed Lion Server on Tuesday, and have been battling with it ever since - attempting to use a 'We Got Served' guide to walk me through.
I installed the Server app on my iMac as I figured the 3 computers on the network would not require very much space, and so there would be little point in buying a whole new machine to run it from. Whilst I was having little luck in making it work as I had hoped - I have now managed to completely lock the iMac. Since it's installation I have had no issue logging in and out of my actual account on OSX, however earlier the computer froze following an Adobe update and I was forced to do a hard restart. However, when I attempted to log back in I now get the following error:
"You are unable to log in to the user account "xxxx" at this time.
Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
I have tried everything in my limited knowledge to rectify this, and nothing works it would seem. I've read examples of this happening when trying to log into the actual server app, or where the hard drive is corrupt on the machine itself - this seems to be a hybrid of the two.
I can no longer open the computer in Safe Mode, however when I go into Disk Utility all disks when verified appear to be absolutely fine with disc repair making no difference. The only available drive is now listed as a Server drive so I cannot even re-install Lion on there.
This is causing me much distress as I can as far as I can tell not only log into my computer, but can do nothing to repair the issue bar erasing everthing from it. There is a lot of important data on there and I am confident that it is not actually corrupt, however Server seems to have just locked it completely.
Help would be much appreciated!

I am having a similar issue, but in my situation, my users cannot log in. All of my users are network users on Mini's. I am running 10.6.8 on my server. I have created users before with no issues, but have not done so in months. When I try to log the new user in, I get the following error:
xpchelper: Could not get path of user account (uid:1029) home directory:/Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username; error; The operation couldn't be completed. No such file or directory. Using home directory.
CFPreferences: user home directory at file://localhost/Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username/ is currently unavailable. User domains will be volatile.

I have no idea of what to do. I have verified that the user looks the same as my other users in WGM. The user's folder was created on the server. The user has access to the folder. I'm not sure what else could be wrong here.

Time machine issues after installing lion server

I have a macbook pro and an imac in my home network, both running lion 10.7.3.
For some time, I used time machine to back up the macbook over ethernet to an external usb drive attached to the imac, which worked fine.
A couple of days ago, I installed the server.app on the imac, but disabled all services after a couple of days.
But now, all of a sudden, I can't complete my time machine backups anymore, I get this error message:
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."
I am not sure what to do here,
thanks for your comments,

Firewire issue after installing Lion

I use a Western Digital Studio II as my Time Machine back-up drive on my Macbook Pro. I've always had this device connected via the Firewire 400 port and it has worked flawlessly for the 2 years or so that I've had it.
Just upgraded to Lion. Now, the WD drive doesn't mount. No sign of it.
I know the drive's OK because if I connect via USB, all is well (but of course, it's slow).
I've checked WD's support site in case there's a driver update but there's nothing newer than what I already have.
Research via Google reveals a number of alleged issues with firewire drivers for other devices but I can't help wondering is there's an inherent flaw in the way Lion is handling all firewire devices.
Any thoughts? Anyone?

You called Apple Care. So I assume you have a machine that's in warranty. Either that, or you paid for this useless piece of information.
So here's an interesting point...
I have purchased Lion. But I get NO support for it. NO warranty. I will argue that the age of my machine (or the existence of an Apple Care contract) is irrelevant. I have purchased a product and I want support / warranty for that product - nothing else.
If I buy a new refrigerator, I get a warranty for that. It's got nothing to do with any support contract I have on the house that I'm going to install it in.
Why should a piece of software such as Lion be immune from implied fitness for purpose? That's probably a rhetorical question.
So here's what I've done (only applies in the UK).
I have written to Apple and have told them that OS X Lion is not "fit for purpose" in the context of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and have also told them I exercise my Statutory Rights in English Law and have demanded a full refund.
I strongly recommend that others take the same stance. It may only be for the sake of £21 and a LOT of wasted time but I'm going to stand firm on this and I WILL take legal action if necessary.

Wireless printer issues after installing lion OS

Since installing the Lion Os on 13th September 2011, I have experienced intermittent wireless printing problems.
When you try to print the printer icon comes up with an error, and the message is 'the printer is not connected'. The printer is on and wiFi is lit up. Sometimes by cancelling the print job and then requesting it again clears the problem. When I access the printer in the settings pane it is there and showing idle with a green light, but when you try to print the connection goes.
Sometimes I have to input the administrator password and then it will print. Other times that will not work and I have had to delete the printer and re install it. The problem still exists though.
It exists on all user profiles on the iMac (4)

I have the same problem. I have checked for drivers, and just a couple days ago an updated driver for my printer came through the Mac's Software Update, but it didn't fix the problem. I'm seeing a lot of people with this problem, with different routers and different printers since Lion came out, so I'm fairly certain it's a Lion problem. I hope someone comes up with an answer soon, or I might just break out my PC...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iPhoto doesn't work after installing lion?

My Iphoto doesn't work after installing lion.
it suggest that I have to instal iphoto again.
where can I find this

If it suggests that you install iPhoto again, install iPhoto again. In your Macs Box that it came in there should be 2 Discs, one is an Applications CD (You need this one) And another is the Mac OS X.
Insert your Applications CD and hold C while the computer is starting up, then you will be walked through the installation of Applications.

My pictures in I photo deseppeared after installing Lion

I can't find my photo in I photo after installing Lion they all disapeared?

If you are having the same issue, then it will work for you too. The key is activating Quicktime 7. If you have not done this, then it will not work. You also may need to pull the iPhoto plist.
- close all open windows and quit iPhoto
- in the top menu, you should see "Finder" beside the apple. You also should see "go" in the top menu
and then hold down your option key on your keyboard. This will make a "library" appear under your home in the Go drop down.   Select the library, then go to your preferences folder.
There, look for the following files, and drag them out to your desktop:
     - com.apple.iApps.plist
     - com.apple.iMovieAPP.plist
- select "go" in the top menu bar and select utilities
- launch Quicktime 7 by doubleclicking it
- you should see a small quicktime window appear
- quit Quicktime
- launch iPhoto and test the video playback
