IPHOTO not supported

I am new to the Mac family and have many questions, but will limit to this one for now. I tried to open iPHOTO to learn how to use this app.and received this error message [This application iPHOTO cannot open because it it not supported by this architecture.] What did I do now. The Mini is about a month old.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I agree with TD about returning to the vendor and getting the correct versions of the iLife applications.
But before you do, run Pacifist on the system install disk that came with your Mac to locate and install the iPhoto version that's on the disk. Then see what version it is. If that one is not a universal version then you need new system disks with the correct software. Classic only application are not included with intel Macs, only universal applications.

IPhoto - "not supported on this architecture" after leopard install

after upgrading to leopard it seems to have deleted my iPhoto all together and when I click what is left of the application I get a window alerting me that iPhoto - "not supported on this architecture" How can I restore?

What version of iPhoto is it?
Did you do an Upgrade or Erase Install?
Have you tried re-installing iPhoto? To do this, go first to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name. Then re-install iPhoto from either an iLife disk or System Restore disks that came with your computer.

HT201386 Why is iphoto not supporte by ios8 anymore??

Why is iphoto not supported from ios8 anymore?! I put alot of work in slideshows and now i cant use them anymore?! That really makes me angry, why are u keep making it worse and more complicated than it already is with every new update!

Please write this to Apple using the feedback form, so the developer team will see it. This is a user-to-user forum, and we cannot do anything about it.

Why is iphoto not supported from ios8 anymore?!
Making iPhoto run on iOS8 would have required to a major upgrade and rewriting of code, since the the parts of iOS that support image processing changed considerably. Apple decided to release a new Photos.app to replace iPhoto instead of upgrading iPhoto. See this help documents:
Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
When you send feedback to Apple, be sure to request the features that are missing from Photos and need to be upgraded, if Photos is really to be a replacement for iPhoto. So far, Photos is very basic, and does not yet offer, what has been lost by killing iPhoto.

IPhoto not supported by OS X 10.9.4 update on MacBook iPhoto.

Since I updated to OS X 10.9.4 on my MacBook Pro, I can no longer access iPhoto. I get a message that iPhoto is not supported on my Mac. Is anyone else having this problem? Don't know where to begin.

The photos are located in your iPhoto Library package which, by default, is located in your Pictures folder and is independent of the application.
What system are you running? If it's anything earlier than Yosemite you won't be able to download iPhoto as the only version available from the App Store is 9.6 which only works with Yosemite.

Iphoto not supported by architecture.

I accidently replaced my working version of iphoto with a version which is "not supported on this architecture" I have the install disks but am concerned about losing my pictures and videos. I cannot open my library either but can see the photos under search for.....all images. If I install again what do I need to delete first and will I keep my photos?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
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...’
Re-installing the application will not affect your photos. That said +Always always always+ back up before doing some thing like this.

IPhoto not supported in Classic Mode

I'm trying to open iPhoto. The file has a circle with a line through it saying it can't be opened because Classic Mode is no longer supported. We can't access our pictures.

Are you sure that you are launching iPhoto '11?
Did you double-click or right-click-open the application directly, or did you launch it some other way?
Did you migrate applications from some older system? Might you be launching the migrated iPhoto instead?

HT1338 old iPhoto not supported with OS X

iphoto has disappeared and when I check for it with Finder, it says I can't use this version (9.1.5) with OS X. How do I get a newer version?

See this discussion and Old Toad's post. Hope this helps.

Mac Air not supporting iPhotos

Just updated ios8 on iPad and phone and both seem to have worked. Did the same on my mac air (version 10.9.5.) and now I cannot access my photos on the laptop. Message comes up saying iPhotos not supported by the mac. What have I done wrong and how do I correct it? Thanks for advice in advance.

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1
WARNING: If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device.
Also it will disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.

Just downloaded mavericks, now iPhoto won't load because of an error message that says "You can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac" . I have a 17" MacBook Pro, mid 2010 model running 2.53 GHz and Intel Core I5,

I just downloaded the new Mavericks operating sytem on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 17" 2.53GHz, Intel Core I5 machine. My IPhoto is no longer working at all, I'm getting an error message that says - "You Can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac". I also loaded Mavericks onto my other MacBook Pro 17", mid 2009 model and everything works fine. I would think that the newer Mac would easily work with IPhoto. Also, when I try to download from the App Store, it asks for my Apple ID and Password, I enter it, and then the little spinning color wheel just spins forever, with nothing ever happening. I tried downloading the IPhoto Upgrade but it never actually downloads, HELP!!!

What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
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 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.

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.

"one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".

I have some folders in iPhoto called 'Recovered Folder'. When I try to delete them I get this message: "one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".
I don't use Aperture (did install it to try it out), and have deleted Aperture App from my Mac.
How can I get rid of these fodlers?

i finally figured this out:
fyi, iphoto and aperture can now share (i.e., access) the same library. apple details it here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
i use both iphoto and aperture, and i suspect something went amiss, at some point, while aperture was accessing my iphoto library.
this is how i fixed the problem:
i launched aperture, then (per the instructions linked above) switched to (i.e., accessed) my iphoto library. i was then able to delete the "recovered folder" and the album it contained. i then quit aperture and relaunched iphoto.
NOTE: at that time, although i expected the "recovered folder" to be gone, it was still present. but this time, i was able to delete the folder from within iphoto without the "contains aperture items" error message.
(Sparky030405, i realize you've since deleted aperture. while i can't say my method is the *only* way to solve this problem, it's the way i was able to solve it. so, you might consider reinstalling aperture in order to delete the folder, then uninstalling aperture, once again.)

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
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.

I'm getting an 'error image is not supported' message when importing from my iPhone to iPhoto

Hello helpers-
I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro 5,5 hard drive (1TB) to a 1.5TB hard drive. I used migration assistant to transfer everything over. So far everything works great with one exception. My iPhoto library will not upload images from my iPhoto 5 anymore. Same goes with my iPad 2. I get a message saying 'error image file is not supported'.
Is there something I can do to fix this?
Also my iCloud sign in just keeps getting the thinking icon when trying to sign in. It will do it for hours. I've tried rebooting, shuting everything down, I updated everything I could and yet I'm still getting issues. Thanks for your assistance!... and happy New Year!
-Ryan

That was a test to determine if the problem was limited to your original library or was system wide. Since the new library worked OK the culprit is your orginal library.
Therefor Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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.
