Iphoto start up problems

When I try to open iphoto5, I get the following message:the photo library was created with a unreleased version of iphoto,please quit and upgrade to version2 or 4????? no idea why this is happening happened before upgrade to tiger. not shure where to go from here.

Hi Big B,
So far I have not seen any solution for that error message in these discussions. If you have a recent backup of your iPhoto Library folder then take the old library out of the Pictures folder and put your backup library in there (I suggest you backup the backup before you do this) Launch iPhoto and hopefully everything will be back to normal. If you don't have a backup then...
The only thing I can tell you to do right now is to create a new library and import/add to the library to reimport your images.
these are the steps:
Close iPhoto
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto
In the next window that opens choose to create a new library.
When the new empty library opens go to File/add to library
In the next window navigate to the library on your desktop and choose it.
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
You will have to redo your albums, keywords, etc.
Good luck!

Start up problems, including from installation disc.

Hello everyone in the Apple ether, I need your help!
I have a powerpc based iMac G5 at home that I set up for my mum to use once I bought my macbook. I finally managed to win her over with talks of how much easier it would be for her to manage her photos in iPhoto, and everything was going really well. I recently came home after my final year at uni and some travelling to find that the computer is taking a long time to start up. This can be in both the grey apple loading screen but also once it logs in it can take a long time to display anything over than the desktop background, and even once it displays other items any attempt to open anything just results in a spinning wheel icon. At the worst case it has taken about 20 minutes to get going.
Once it has fully booted, the machine doesn't appear to be working any slower than normal. I tried using disk utility in mac OSX and verifying permissions etc and that didn't do anything. I then tried googling the problem and came across this article on the apple web site. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Starting in Safe Mode did not resolve the issue so after backing everything up I tried starting from the installation disc. This is not something I have ever done before and as someone that never really delves beneath the surface of her machines I was a bit scared of doing it. But I put the disc in and restarted and held down C just after I heard the chime, and shortly after it all went wrong. The screen went grey and all I could see was the image you get when it crashes (you know, the power sign with text over it saying you need to restart) with lines of code all down the left of the screen. I took a photo of the screen on my camera so can give details of the code if you need them. The last line said
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.3: Wed Oct 18 22:00:38 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.15.4.obj-4/RELEASE_PPC
panic: We are hanging here...
After a few minutes on this screen the fan started working overtime and after about 5 minutes of that I just turned it off using the power button on the back. The machine has since started up normally (ie slowly) but is working fine.
So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to fix the slow start up problem without booting from my install disc, or indeed if anyone could suggest why I can't boot from my install disc? Thanks very much for your time and help.

It appears you experienced a kernel panic which is hardware related. A few suggestions for you to try:
Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from the computer & try the suggestions mentioned in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106805 Mac OS X: "Broken folder" icon, prohibitory sign, or *kernel panic* when computer starts
User Tips: Kernel Panics
==============
Boot up from your Tiger or Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose *"Disk Utility"* from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the *"repair disk"* button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and run *repair permissions* from Disk Utility.
* If Disk Utility (from the install DVD or HD)is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

Why whenever I turn on an external HD, iPhoto starts up?

I have an MB Pro, 2.33, with a number of FW and SATA drives.
I'm wondering why suddenly when I turn on an external HD, iPhoto starts up?
thanks,
elmer

The bigger problem is that your external HD's are probably formatted in FAT16 (or maybe even FAT32) format, which may cause other filename-related problems down the line. iPhoto will be triggered to launch because these formats are most commonly used for camera media cards, and detecting them as externals typically points to media cards.
If your external HD's are dedicated to Macs, you might want to consider moving your data out, reformatting with Mac OS X Extended format (journaled) and then putting your data back on.

New MB Pro; start-up problems (again)

In case you remember me, yes I am the same person who recently bought a MB Air and had lots of problems off the bat (some of which required repair by Apple). It is working fine now, but it was just not working out for my needs. So, I decided to suck it up, switch to the Pro and sell that Air.
Now the PRO is giving me start-up problems. Gah! I made a fresh Time Machine back-up from the Air...then used Time Machine upon initial set-up to transfer everything to my Pro (thinking I was wiser this time, doing it upon initial set-up). But...no go. First my Pro would not recognize my admin password and I had to reset that. Now that I'm into my system, iPhoto will not open (I get a window vaguely stating there is some problem that it then reports to Apple); Calendar and Notes just show big question marks in the dock.
I opened a new user account to see what would happen: in that account, Notes and calendar seem just fine, but iPhoto still will not open.
Furthermore, in my support research I keep coming across stuff that talks about the install disk....But never saw one! Am I supposed to have one, or are the new Pros like the Air (in having online reboot sytem)? I did not see any disks in my box (which of course is currently not where I can access it to double check). The only place the disk could have been is underneath the frame inside the box, but there is usually nothing under there, so I don't think I had one. Could this be right?
Other possibly useful (?) info: I bought the Pro w an 8GB RAM upgrade, which was installed right in store. When I opened a new user account I got a window talking about "automatic login" and how the computer would start to an account that was named after the store where I bought the computer if i did not turn it off. I did turn it off but I would like to get rid of this "store account"...but is not listed as a User acct so I don't know how to find it in order to get rid of it.
Help?!

Thanks for the input. I totally agree that I'd like to take this one back and exchange for a new one. Only problem is that I am traveling for work internationally until after the 14-day deadline. It's quite a hassle to get back to the US in time, though I have it in my back pocket to push for an extention to that time period...
Meanwhile, I had my 3rd Apple Support chat today. They finally gave me a dedicated Sr. Advisor who managed to get the Lion erase and install to take this time. (I didn't pay for the Mountain Lion upgrade; one thing having gone right!) I have to get green-lighted for another free Mountian Lion upgrade but at least we're on track at this point. Fingers crossed it continues that way!
At the rate they're going with me this summer, I should think a discounted AppleCare is in order or SOMETHING. Gah!
For any future problem-having readers, I'm afriad they did not seem to understand/answer why this was happening, so I've no wisdom to impart!
For the responders: Thanks again!

IPhoto starts automatically with computer startup

I recently installed a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro. After the install, now every time I start the computer, iPhoto starts automatically. Is there a setting that I can change to stop this. It's not a big problem, just a little annoying.

try right clicking on the iPhoto icon in the dock and making sure that the option to "Open at login" is not set

IPhoto starts after a FW Drive plugged in

Hi all folks,
since some weeks my iPhoto 5 and 6 starts all the time I plugged one of my external FW Drive to a Mac (formated with two partitions, FAT32 and HFS+).
I use USB Sticks and Drives (FAT and HFS+) and an other FW Drive (FAT32 and HFS+) too, but iPhoto starts only I plug one of my FW Drives to the Mac, the second one does not start iPhoto (same FW Drive).
How to switch this "function" off, what's the reason for this behavior.
Thanks for any Help,
Lutz

Hi Terence,
Have you ever imported photos from that partition?
Hm, I think I have done this.
And have you tried the solution?
Yes, in general, but it is necessary to start iPhoto manually after I
plug a camera in, now. But this is not a problem.
My Problem is (was), I don't know what's the difference between a
USB Stick with FAT and a FW HD with FAT32. It's a little bit like voodoo, .
Thanks for your explanation,
Lutz

Iphoto starts when iphone connected with usb to Macbook

After I upgraded to Yoesmite, I have a problem with Iphoto and Iphone. Iphoto starts whenever my Iphone is connected with USB to my MacbookPro.
I often use USB connection so that my Iphone is charged while working outside my home. So it is quite annoying that Iphoto starts up everey time I connect mye Iphone with USB. I want to work and is not interested in Iphoto to clutter up my work and memory usage.
What can I do to prevent Iphoto from loading.

Yes all you have to do is open iPhoto on Macbook & select iPhoto Menu Preferences>Connecting Camera opens: "select" NO Application.
Now if you want to send photos from your iPhone & you have iCloud-photos sync turned off, you'll have to open iPhotos & re-select iPhotos
in Preferences again.

Upon connection, iPhoto starts, not iTunes

I cant even activate the iPhone to get started, and i have the most current version of iTunes.
Why would iPhoto start upon connection?

do you know how to turn off image capture on XP? Three programs, Windows fax viewer, cannon camera window, and Adobe album starter all fight to download the pics off my iphone....untill today when my computer stopped recognizing my iphone all together. I read the troubleshooting section of the users manual and have reset the phone, restarted my computer, reinstalled itunes. I don't have the energy to restore all settings, the phone works good, but there won't be any sync-ing going on until I get this fixed. Problems have been happening ever since I purchased the PRO edition of Quicktime to convert my slideshows for the iphone. That still doesn't work, they come out pixelated and have no sound. One full day of dinking with that and my 400GB external started having delayed write failures and then I fixed it once by running the chkdsk utility, so it ran all night recovered almost everything--then after 20 minutes it completely crashed. My son recovered the data for me on his computer. Now the iphone won't sync. Any ideas?? you seem like a knowlegable sourse of info? Thx if you have the time!

What does that mean? What is your technical support question?

I run Tiger OSX on one MacBook and SnowLeopard on another. Photos were downloaded from Tiger to SnowLeopard, and now iPhoto won't open on the Tiger Mac. Will upgrading iPhoto fix this problem?

What matters is the version of iPhoto you have on the different machines. Can you tell us what they are, and what exact error message you get.

Help! I have an iMac 24" OSX version 10.6.8 my iphoto is having problems. It will not open properly. All I get is the little wheel going around and around. My iphoto is iphoto'11 version 9.2.3(629.52) What should I do to make it work properly?

Help! I have an iMac 24" OSX version 10.6.8. My iphoto is having problems. It will not open properly. All I get is the little wheel going around and around. My iphoto is: iphoto'11 version 9.2.3(629.52). What do I need to do to remedy this? I recently installed InstallMac. I don't want this on my computer. I don't know how to get it off. I'm afraid that is what scrogged my iphoto. Can anyone tell me how to correct this situation?

Re: iPhoto:
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Photo Gallery start up problem

I have a glitch and it's probably me … but here's what
I know.
About Don Booth's Photo Gallery:
It's great. Everything is good - integrated with my CSS -
looks nice.
When the page loads all is well except the first image in the
Gallery does not display in <div id="mainImageOutline"... (and
the first thumbnail is not highlighted). While I'm building and
testing this is OK. Just click a thumbnail and everything works
well.
In the demo, the Gallery is operational by default and starts
up with the first thumbnail and Spry:detail produces the
corresponding image (automatically). That's what I want.
About my code:
Except for a couple of "page layout" divs that I have,
consistent with my own site-wide style sheet conventions, such as
<div id="wrapper"> and <div id="maincontent"> I have:
1. Copied Don Booth's xhtml code directly from the
Spry_1_1_022408 download sample.
2. Copied Don Booth's css code directly from the same
download sample.
3. Copied Don Booth's gallery.js directly (without change as
far as I know).
The only significant change (apart from CSS and xhtml
structure) in my work is - I added an additional Spry:detail div to
present additional datapoints from xml. This is not relevant to my
question because the issue that concerns me is consistent if I
remove this second detail div. The start-up problem remains.
The URL for the gallery page in question is:
http://www.yhqg.org/Celebration/quiltshow2008/galleryix/gallery.htm
I imagine the problem is in gallery.js. You should know that
javascript is a bit like dungeons and dragons to me.
I have an error report:
Error: dsPhotos is not defined
Source File:
http://www.yhqg.org/Celebration/quiltshow2008/galleryix/includes/gallery.js
Line: 55
So, when I see:
var gAutoStartSlideShow;
if (gAutoStartSlideShow == undefined)
gAutoStartSlideShow = true;
I imagine I'm looking at something useful but I don't know
what to do with it, or if it is the right code to focus on. I
respect the relationship with level 4 support engineers, but after
trying to solve my own issue for a few weeks I decided it was time
to submit my question. How do I get Photo Gallery to start up like
the demo?
Additional information:
There is also a series of error reports that show when the
Gallery is playing (for example):
Warning: Expected end of value for property but found
'-0.0775'. Error in parsing value for property 'opacity'.
Declaration dropped.
Source File:
http://www.yhqg.org/Celebration/quiltshow2008/galleryix/gallery.htm
Line: 0
I don't think it is related, but that's what I know.
I tried to copy my xhtml (below) but it caused this message
to exceed allowed size. But I don't see that xhtml is the problem.
You can see the source at the URL (above).

Hi Latauro,
Sounds like you need to turn your Slideshow into a Track, and then set the Track to display as 16:9 Letterbox; but first, you'll also need to encode your slides as wide Mpeg 2 clips (encode set to 16:9), too; to whatever duration you have them set in the Slideshow, currently (if they're not already wide encoded clips).
It would be good to stick some same duration audible or silent same format and bit rate audio underneath each of the new movie slides, to present players a nicely packed VOB.
Take care,

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto. Thanks

To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

Start up problem Nokia 2520

Hi,
My 2 weeks old Nokia Lumia 2520 has a start up problem. When I switch on the phone I only see a blue screen with an unhappy smiley face :-(
The battery is fully charged and I tried holding the 'power on'button for 10 seconds, but it doesn't work. Anyone knows what to try next?

I tried holding the 'volume down' and 'power on' buttun simultaniously, but it is still not starting properly. Now I am getting an exclamation mark....
