Iphoto on desktop wont open

help,
iphoto on my desktop won't open. any ideas?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Iphoto ..it wont open

in finder i put all the files of "today" in the trash...i tried to put the back but i couldnt
then i tried to open my iphoto library and it opens but loads and loads and never shows pictures?
what have i dont? or does it need an update? are my pictures still there?
it doesnt show anywhere that i have my pictures

It would appear that you have damaged your Library and heavens knows what else.
in finder i put all the files of "today" in the trash
This is not a folder it's a list of all the files used today. You've trashed them all. That will include any and all files in iPhoto that you accessed today - photos, databases, metadata files.
Restore from your back up.

IPhoto version 4 wont open pictures burned on CD using version 5?

i have a G5 iSight PowerPC and my girlfriend a G4 ibook (2004). I downloaded our vacation pics from my camera to my G5 using iPhoto v5.0.4 and accidentally erased my camera's memory card after the download. So - I thought I'd burn a disc with the new photos and then import them onto her G4 (which uses iPhoto v 4.0.3). Everytime I insert the photo disc into the G4 I get a message saying iPhoto cannot open album as it was created using a later version of iPhoto.
I'm stuck since she cannot get our vacation pics onto her computer ! Can anyone help? Thanks in advance..
iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.7) compatibility, versions, iPhoto v4 , v5
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

iPhoto 5 is perfectly capable of exporting photos to a folder on your desktop. Just drag the selected images from iPhoto to the target folder. Burn that folder to a CD, and you can share it with anyone who has a computer with a functioning CD drive.

IPhoto 6 just wont open

Hi folks
I have an Intel Imac running 10.4.7. Today when i booted up IPhoto to try and import some new photos i got an endless cycle of it being unable to open and wanting to report back to Apple. I have tried repairing permissions, dragging photos out of IPhoto folder and onto desktop,then relaunched , i have deleted preferences in users, relaunched then i dragged out the install disk and reinstalled IPhoto 6. Still nothing
Thoughts?

i took all my photos offline when i upgraded the OSX
How did you do this? Are they on a external disk? If so, try launch iPhoto while holding down the option (or alt) key and use the resulting dialogue to Locate your library.
i relaunched iphoto 6.0.6 it wouldnt import any of them. said it didnt recognise the file format
Are these files in an iPhoto Library Folder? iPhoto will not import from an iPhoto Library Folder (to help avoid duplication).
When you report a crash to Apple, there is never an acknowledgement. Apple simply data mines these reports for any info that can help improve the app in the future.
Finally, did you repair permissions after these updates?

i updated my iphoto scince then when i try and open it a tab pops up saying "You can't use this version of the application iphoto with this version of Mac OS X" it says i have the mac OS X 10.7.4 and the application requires 10.7.5 i updated my laptop and i also updated to 10.7.5 pleaseeeeee help meee i need my iphoto!!!!

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

MP3 on desktop wont open in iTunes or add to library, has done so in past

I've been trying to add two MP3 files that are on my desktop with no luck. If I double click on them, iTunes opens but does not play the music, and the music is not in my library. I've tried adding them to the music folder or selecting "Add to library..." and choosing the file, but nothing seems to work. This used to work fine, I don't know what changed! Any suggestions?

Dave Sawyer wrote:
The headers on the problem tracks may be corrupted or nonstandard. This can happen with some MP3 conversion or import utilities, and iTunes is very picky about headers.
I noticed this problem occurring when certain third-party utilities (The Tagger, in my case) inadvertently change the actual file's Kind (Finder) from "MP3 Audio File" to no specific file type.
When the MP3 file's Kind is removed (Get Info to check), iTunes will not recognize it - whether by dragging to the library's window or File > Add to Library.
It usually takes a program like Switch to re-export the old mp3 to a new mp3 to reapply the "Kind" to the file's info.
Just an observation...

What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Updated my computer to OSX Yosimite 10.10.2, and now my IPhoto wont open

Updated my computer to OSX Yosimite 10.10.2, and now my IPhoto wont open. It said I needed to update to the newest version of IPhoto through the APP store, so I tried, but it has been stuck on 'INSTALLING' for hours. All of my mothers wedding photos, as well as the photos I need for school are in there! HELP!

Until you Upgrade to iphoto 9.6 you will not be able to use iPhoto
You can try canceling the upgrade and re-starting it

I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb

Hi,
I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb.
I can see the files in the home/sites folder but cant seem to be able to replace them with the site that is already in iweb?
I have just upgraded to lion on the macbook pro and was using 10.4.x on the desktop.
Is there any way to replace the files and work on the web site on the MBP?
And I dont see the library/application support/iweb folder anywhere.
Much appreciate the feedback.
Thanks

As I said earlier, iWeb does not open/import webpages.
And yes, you need the domain file. The movie demonstrates how to move them to and from the default location.
And the page explains how to open the hidden library folder in Lion. Which is also discussed in the Lion forum and extensively in this one.

There's a glitch somewhere. iphoto just wont open. upgraded to yosemite and downloaded iPhoto upgrader and it doesn't work, just keeps telling me to upgrade when I did already or quit, so no way to do photos on this brand new mac. that's a pity!!

You need to have iPhoto 11 v9.6 (which you can get from the App Store) to use iPhoto on Yosemite. If you already have iPhoto 11 then the update is free. Otherwise it's a purchase.

Iphoto 9.3.2 wont open in OSX 10.9.3

iphoto 9.3.2 wont open in OSX 10.9.3 it says i cant use this version of iphoto but wont let me update it either? So i am now without iphoto?
What to do?

it says i cant use this version of iphoto but wont let me update it either?
How did you try to update iPhoto? What happens, when you try?
If you bought iPhoto from the AppStore, or it came preinstalled with LIon, update from the AppSTore's Update page. iPhoto must be installed in the Applications folder, and you need to sign into the App Store with the AppleID you used to buy iPhoto.
If you bought iPhoto as part of iLIfe '11, you can try the updater from the Apple support page.
So, how did you install iPhoto, and what is the error message, when you try to update?
