IPhoto msg: ...library needs upgraded but when I "upgrade" doesn't work

NEWBIE...Please help...I try to open iPhoto after my "necessary" "upgrade"...but now it won't open..
Just keeps giving me the same original message to upgrade.
Should I uninstall iPhoto and reinstall? If so, how do I do that? I can't even find out which version
I have. I think it is 6.something. Thanks.

Catherine
Find the iPhoto icon in the Applications Folder and click on it once. The go File -> Get Info. This will tell you what version you have. Is this a newly installed iPhoto?

It looks like you installed the Library Upgrader, but did not run it. It is installed in "Applications > Utilities". Launch this tool and click the "Choose Library" button to direct it to your iPhoto library.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iTunes in Mac OS X Tiger is outdated. Open  > Software Update to install the latest iTunes version for Tiger.
If you need iTunes 10.7 or a newer version, you have to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. First, check that your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If it is, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After buying Snow Leopard, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install the latest Snow Leopard version. Finally, run Software Update again to install iTunes 11.0.4. If you want to install iTunes 10.7 instead, download it from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1576

I cannot pull up pictures from iphoto. I see them but when I click on them, I get an exclamation mark inside a triangle

I cannot open pictures from iphoto. I see them but when I click on them, I get this exclamation point inside a triangle

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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. .

Are you trying to update only that one app or more that one app (via Update all)? You have to log into the account that purchased an app to update an app. If you have apps purchased by more than one account you have to update tem one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

After migrating to a new MacBook Air from an older MacBook, iPhoto gets stuck on uploading cache, it just "spins" forever. I downloaded a new iPhoto app and replaced it but when opened it just does the same thing? What is going on?

Is there a better app?
Thanks, Chris

Take the system to an Apple store to be fixed or replaced as the one you have has defective hardware.

We are using apple tv to try to access our itunes account on the computer. We see our library of music but when we click on the song it searches for a long time and then says that it cannot access the itunes store. Any ideas on what we are doing wrong?

No such message occurs.
Are you trying to state that it says "Unable to activate"?
If so, this typically indicates the device has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided via these forums.

We are passing the required values to the ATP API.
1) The x_return_status is showing as 'S' i.e. success but x_atp_rec.Requested_Date_Quantity is not returning any value.
2) If there is a grant issue how to identify it.

I use
Chronosync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html)
and
Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
Both work very well. The former I use for manual, one-way synchroniziation of (nearly) entire systems. The latter for automatic syncing of very active directories through local and shared online storage.

I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation. My computer did have the faulty part you linked to. I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager. Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge. They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test. They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above. I've never had this experience before. Even brand new, I got occasional crashes. Hopefully this new trend continues.
I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow. Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed. Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

basically i bought this phone from canada & using it in india. i tried to contact apple support in india, they told that the warranty is valid in the country where you purchsed this phone. very ammazing. Apple is a very big brand name & they are not serving their costumers in other country. any suggestions?
