Iphoto not working after 10.5.2

After 10.5.2 and graphic updates, iPhoto does not work any more. When I launch it, after a few seconds it quits by itself, with Console message "segmentation fault".
Tried erasing preference file, with no results; Don't know what to do

Oops. Missed that last sentence. See if you can create a new library by launching iPhoto with the Option key depressed and selecting Create new library when asked what to do. If you can't get iPhoto to create and open a new library then it's not your old library that's at fault.
You're image files are stored in the Originals folder inside the iPhoto Library package. It is located in your Pictures folder.
If you can open iPhoto with a new library then rebuilding your current library is an option. Heres' what you'll need to do. Move the temp library that you created to the trash leaving only your original iPhoto Library package in the Pictures folder. Then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. If that doesn't resurrect the library continue with the following:
How old is the AlbumData.xml file that you replaced in the library? Did you do any importing of photos between the time it was created and now? If not then you can keep it and try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It uses the information in the AlbumData.xml file to create a new library which will have the events, albums, keywords, titles and comments intact. You will lose any books, slideshows, cards, etc. Here's how to use iPLM to rebuild:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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
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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.

    iPhoto is missing part of the substructure it needs to run. You need to 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.

  • Iphoto not working after update

    I updated to OS X Mavericks last night, but my iPhoto is now not working, saying I need to updated version. It will not even let me access my photos in the app saying I need to download the new version from the app store. The updated version costs $14.99. Will my photo's from iphoto still be in the app if I purchase the update? I am annoyed my "free"software update is going to actually end up costing me $15, but I will only pay it if I know that my photos will still be there.

    Did you make a Time Machine backup before you installed Mavericks?

  • Iphoto not working after time machine install

    I have a first gen intel iMac and the hard drive had a sudden failure I was not overly concerned about my Data as I use time machine. I had a new Hard Drive installed and I used time machine to install back to snow leopard. all seems fine for a few days and every thing (software and hard ware (scanner)) was working fine. then I opened iPhoto to add a few new photos and all I get is the spining beach ball the library is 26 gig in size and was working fine before. I am at a loss as I still have all 9745 original photos on back up drive but not in order like in iPhoto and really don't want to recreate my library all over again. I've done disk permissions and only seem to have a problem with Java any body got any ideas?

    Hi there Guys
         I don't know if this is a true fix but my iPhoto 11 is now working iPhoto had an update and I did it to both my iPhoto programs (mac book and iMac) I then opened the not working librery on the laptop and it said the library need to be updated it did this and opened okay and all was working fine (I copied library on to a portable FireWire HD) when I copied it back to my iMac it said the same and went through the update and is now working fine.

  • IPhoto not working after connecting to a new iPad

    I tried to move some photos using iPhoto from my iMac to a new iPad. Couldn't figure out how and when I went to open iPhoto later on my iMac it won't open and says I need to upgrade. Not sure what happened, any ideas? Do I really need to upgrade iPhoto or is it possibly confused?

    After you connect the iPad to the iMac, go to iPhoto and select the iPads icon in the sidebar under Devices.
    Then select Photos from the Summary bar along the top.
    Next check the Sync Photos from box and select iPhoto.
    Then choose a the Photos that you want from either the Events, Albums or Faces by checking the box next to them and then click the Sync button at the bottom.
    Also do the same for music and movies that you want to Sync to your iPad.
    Just remember that the iPad has limited space compaired to the iMac and that you will have to closely manage what you Sync to it, buy checking only certian items and then later unchecking older items to add new ones. 

  • IPhoto not working after Time Machine backup on new MacBookPro - HELP!!!

    I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 w/ 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K540)
    Backed up from Time Machine to load all my files from my old MacBook Pro which seemed to work fine for all applications except for iPhoto. 
    At launch of iPhoto, I get
    1. "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto."
    2. After clicking upgrade (I'm running on all current software), I get "There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto library. Do you want iPhoto to repair permissions for this library for you?"
    3. After clicking upgrade and typing in my password, I get "iPhoto was unable to repair permissions for the library." and iPhoto quits.
    I've held Option/Command when launching iPhoto and have clicked all boxes and the problem still persists.
    How can I get to my photos?

  • IPhoto not working after OS X install on my Macbook Air

    I get this message - "You can't use this version of the application iphoto with this version of OSX you have iphoto 9.2.3."
    When I try to download the latest version from the app store it never completes as an "error" occurs. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

    When you download Mavericks to the USB drive it's not going to allow you to run the Mavericks installer. You need to buy an external drive then install Mavericks on the drive. You can then boot from the drive to recover your data and install a working OS X on the internal drive.
    Recommended Drives
    USB 3.0 drives work on USB 2.0 but you do get 2.0 speed. They are cheaper because they are popular PC drives.  If you get a new computer you'll get the bump to 3.0 speed. I don’t recommend FW. The newer computers don’t have FW ports. You would need a connector in order to use the drive on a newer computer.
    Size:  I recommend either the 2T or 3T drives.  Often they are cheaper than a 1T drive. The 4T drives have more issues and failure rates.
    The Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility. 
    Seagate Backup Plus 2TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STCA2000100)  (Amazon only had used drives so I couldn’t get a price)
    Seagate Backup Plus 3TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STCA3000101) $134.99
    This Western Digital drive has good reviews: Has a 2 yr warranty. Comes formatted for Mac but I would still format using Disk Utility.
    WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2 TB (WDBYCC0020HBK-NESN)  $99
    WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 3 TB (WDBYCC0030HBK-NESN)  $119.99
    Check the warranty when comparing. The longer the warranty the better the drive. WD makes cheaper drives but with almost no warranty.
    Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
    You can get one drive for both Time Machine and clone, but it’s recommended that you use different drives for each. If the drive dies you lose both types of backup.

  • IPhoto not working after installing Yosemite

    After installing Yosemite the iPhoto icon on the dock has a circle/line symbol superimposed.  Get a message saying iPhoto needs to be updated, but when I try to update I get "Update unavailable for this Apple ID."  (I have used my current Apple ID at least since 2011, and have used it to update iPhoto previously.)

    Right, App Store Support solved my problem.(iPhoto & iMovie were packaged with my iMac when I bought it.  Upgrading from Mountain Lion to Yosemite wiped that out, and these apps did not show up in my purchased list.  This would not have happened if Maverick had been installed prior to Yosemite.)

  • Iphoto not working after upgrade

    After just using my IPhoto yesterday, I just got a message that I needed to upgrade my version of IPhoto. I downloaded it and keep getting the same message - To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple.
    I have MacOSX Version 10.7.5 and plenty of hard drive space. IPhoto is version 9.3.2
    Help?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) 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.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - 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.
    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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhoto not working after iLife download.

    I am unable to use iPhoto now, just finished downloading iLife. Say's its either damaged or incomplete?? HELP!

    Sounds like you need to reinstall it, but really that's just a guess.

    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:

    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.

  • Iphoto not working after installing snow leopard

    My hardrive crashed while I was living in South America so I got the authorized mac dealership to put in a new one. Once I got back I was able to get all my photos and files from an external hardrive but I realized that my computer software was still 10.5.8. So I put in the Snow Leopard disk that I had bought because I realized that when they put in a new hardrive they didn't install Snow Leopard. After I installed Snow Leopard my iphoto now says "Caution The iPhoto Library folder is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I fix this? I called Mac and because I bought the computer in 2007 I do not have any applecare so that will cost me $60 and the mac authorized dealership told me to call them or buy the new iLife in hopes that the problem will be fixed.

    See if one of the fixes in this topic helps: iPhoto becomes locked volume: Apple Support Communities
