Iphoto screwed up. Last roll won't update

My last roll is dated 2007. It will not update to the last 2009 photos.
I deleted the plist file but its still screwed up.
It shows the proper photos in the last month selection but not in the last roll.

Try the following: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in the library rebuild pane, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Last played won't update from sync

A couple of days ago I started up iTunes and it asked to accept the license agreement. When I clicked agree my library came up but all my Last Played and play counts had been erased. I reloaded an old library from six months ago and then tried to sync my iPods to update my last played counts but it only worked for about 300 files. I have over 40000 mp3s in my library. I know if you change the file in iTunes it won't sync but there's no way that many files have been changed in six months. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

With more testing, it turns out to be just Wow Hits 2012. All my other iTunes-Store-purchased music is updating properly.

IPhoto 6.0.4 new won't update pictures permission error

I am still using 10.3.9; just got iLife 6.0; installed fine. Did whatever updates allowed to me. Trying to open iPhoto; as usual, goes through the updating process to all photos. here's where it gets interesting.
I am the only user on this computer. I am the admin.
iPhoto says that there are permission issues and to go into the iPhoto pictures folder and allow read and write. I did that. nothing. So then I went back and went folder to folder ensuring all were okay. All fine.
Nothing.
I can't sit here and check all of the 1000s of pictures to see which one is somehow not correct on permissions. Is this a glitch? Am I missing something? its never done this on all of the previous upgrades. Little help from you old pros

Carl:
Try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. That often works where just the Info window does not.
Do you Twango?

"Last Played" won't update on iTunes-purchased songs

I've had great joy using the variable "Least Recently Played" to create Smart Playlists. But certain things are not updating properly now, with 10.5.3.3
Here's the table:
Ripped Music, iPod Touch Gen 3: UPDATES PROPERLY.
Ripped Music, played in Win7 iTunes, UPDATES PROPERLY
Purchased Music, iPod Touch Gen 3: DOESN'T UPDATE
Purchased Music, played in Win7 iTunes: UPDATES PROPERLY.
I haven't done a full-blown matrix of experimentation of the whole library, but the one album I noticed it from is Wow 2012 Hits.
I've seen some discussion of similar problems, but not to this fine detail. Thanks for listening.
I also noted that iTunes isn't updating video podcasts correctly.

With more testing, it turns out to be just Wow Hits 2012. All my other iTunes-Store-purchased music is updating properly.

I can't get the "last roll" in iphoto to show up using external drive

hi there, thanks in advance for assistance.
I backed my iphotos a few months ago....have added about 700 since then, so today I backed iphoto again.
in my ex drive I created a new folder, called it "fotodump2009" and let it go.
when I open iphoto to choose a library, the old back up, titled "iPhoto Library" will open but "fotodump2009" won't.
is this a folder name prob?
what's worse, trying to solve the prob, I dragged "fotodump2009" into "iPhoto Library" and the 700 new fotos still won't show.
so I dragged "fotodump2009" back out, but when I click on it now all I get is "iPhotoLibrary" content from a few months back.
in that folder,luckily, the new 700 are there, called "last roll 1,2,3 etc."
so, I can open a library from a few months ago, but my latest back-up is inaccessible, though it's in the folder.
thanks,
nerker

on further investigation, both the "iPhoto Library" folders on ex drive and hard drive have the 700 new pics but are in "grey", unclickable.

IPhoto and iMovie won't update on my MacBook Pro OS 10.8.3

I have a MacBook Pro, s/n W8******AGZ, running OS 10.8.3. Ever since the last update of 10.8.2 I've been having problems updating my iPhoto software. Now, just recently, iMovie won't update either.
What is an Apple community guy supposed to do now??? Please anyone with easy to do answers?
<Edited by Host>

I was trying to update iphoto 9.4.3, through the app store. then this message comes up
you have updates available for other accounts
to update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
i'm the only one on my mac. i only have 1 itunes account so it has nothing to do with any UserID issue. i tried reindexing spotlight. This has been an issue for about a month now. Then i deleted iPhoto app and securely emptied the trash. All my software was in my macbook pro when it was shipped to me Feb. 2011. These are the two software, in question. iMovie is giving me the same message now.
apple software - iWork 065-7672 no iWork preinstalled
apple software - final cut exp 065-7674 no final cut express (from my Apple receipt)
I hope I gave you all the answers you need to help me, Thank you, TD

Hi there owain11,
It looks like that particular error may be realted to a hardware issue. Take a look at the article below for more information.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

HT4623 My old school iPod touch won't update. Does apple mess it's customers over by not allowing updates for older models of the touch? My last update is Ios5. My touch says its up to date. So has my old school touch reached its pinnacle?

My old school iPod touch won't update. Does apple mess it's customers over by not allowing updates for older models of the touch? My last update is Ios5. My touch says its up to date. So has my old school touch reached its pinnacle?

Correct. The 3G iPod does not have the hardware to support an iOS version higher than 5.1.1
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Old iPhoto Library won't update

I have an old iPhoto library from iPhoto 9 that won't update to iPhoto 11 and won't open. How do I fix this or can I retrieve the photos from the old library without opening it in iPhoto?

Honestly I'm not sure what it is then. There is a forum for iPhoto, I would repost there and let them know what you have already tried, hopefully someone there knows what to do. You can find that forum at:

IPhoto Library won't update

I have an old iPhoto library from iPhoto 9 that won't update to iPhoto 11 and won't open. How do I fix this or can I retrieve the photos from the old library without opening it in iPhoto?

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.

Trying to update iPhoto for iPad but it lasts forever and iPhoto is not working anymore, Trying to update iPhoto for iPad but it lasts forever and iPhoto is not working anymore

When running the updates of my Apps for iPad, I got stuck and relaized that iPhoto was not working anymore. The update could not be loaded and whe I try to open it from the AppStore page it lasts forever. What should I do?

Make sure you have some available stoarge space on your iPad. Looks like you may be running low.

Iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgraded application.

iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application. Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel. I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.

iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
You need to do the following:
1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application.
2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

Upgraded to Mavericks, iPhoto won't update

I upgraded to Mavericks but iPhoto won't update. Receive this message: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." I have only had one user name. I can't get into iPhoto and no update will work. Says I have version 9.3.2 of iPhoto even though I updated.

Did that and now there is no update for iPhoto. Go to the iPhoto app and it says accept and I do but then nothing happens. Have I lost all of my photos??

IPhoto 9.4.3 suddenly won't open unless it's updated

My iPhoto version shows in the Application folder as 9.4.3. I try to open it and get rerouted to the App Store to update it. When I try to update it I get a dialogue box that reads:
"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
The App Store shows an update is ready, but won't let me update. I tried to repurchase and the App Store won't resell it to me, only gives me the option of an update because I already have it installed. Then it won't update because it says I haven't yet bought it.
So far as I know, no other user bought it nor was it refunded or cancelled. It always opened until suddenly it didn't anymore.
What might have happened to the original iPhoto 9.4.3, and how would I get out of this loop where iPhoto won't open unless it's updated, the App Store has an update ready to install and won't let me have it or repurchase it?
I'd be grateful for any ideas that will stop this confusing cycle.
thanks.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
