IPHOTO THUMBNAIL UPDATE

I was asked to upgrade my thumbnails on iphoto. I hit the upgrade button and for two days now the screen is showing " loading photos with the spinning whell. If I quit and come back to iphoto, the system asked me again to upgrade now or later.
I am unable to access my photos with either button.
What can I do?

Peter,
first try a rebuild of the library
Try this:
Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
Close iPhoto
Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.
iPhoto 4 or later: Rebuilding the iPhoto Library

Problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

"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." ?
This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
If iPhoto is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

Hello Ben, see if this might be it...

Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

How do I stop iPhoto from updating

How do I stop iPhoto from updating itself every time I put a backed up iPhoto disc in to play? Now I quit or force quit iPhoto to stop it happening. Happens every time I install a CD or DVD disc. It cant possibly be necessary every time.

Chances are, that disc was created by an earlier version of iPhoto. iPhoto is trying to convert the library on the disc into an iPhoto 6 library, because the file structure is different in v6. The only fix I know is to copy the disc to your Mac, let iPhoto update your disc as an individual library, then burn a new disc that iPhoto 6 will like.
See if anything in this thread is helpful. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=854452&tstart=0

I have apple ID but after signing into that account too, it does't allow to update. None of the updates for these application are show in software update of late, but it flashes in the dock where app store is . Kindly suggest.

Should be the account you registered your mac with, and/or the account you used during the setup assistant.

I had original iPhoto app from 2007, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater. My pictures are lost in the abyss.

I'm using OS Extended 10.9.5. I don't know what the original version of iPhoto was.

Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

Since iphoto 11 update, why can't I upload photo to facebook. It says that fb can't recognize my email/password combination

Since iphoto 11 update, why can't I upload photo to facebook. It says that fb can't recognize my email/password combination. I can't seem to find out why.

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

Thank you.

I found the answer just after posted this. Thanks to a user named CloudWalker. Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.

Iphoto thumbnails

iphoto thumbnails all the same...click on thumbnail...see a photo not same image as thumb...and upside down. I want to delete every picture and restart...how?

Better to just fix the thumbnails, no?
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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Iphoto thumbnails disappear with each reboot

My iPhoto thumbnails disappear any time I reboot or log out of iPhoto.
I use the rebuild command and get them back, but they don't stay.
Is this a problem with iPhoto or the address where the thumbnails are stored?

My iPhoto library is in the correct location on my laptop hard drive.
This all started with editing photos.
I backed up to time machine, then deleted @350 photos from a recent download.
iPhoto froze up with this, and I did a force quit.
Re opening iPhoto came back with all black thumbnails.
I option-command opened iPhoto and rebuilt the data, and the thumbnails.
The photos are there, but every time I log out of iPhoto, the thumbnails are gone again, and I have to rebuild.
So... I restored from a journaled copy of iPhoto photos, from time machine. The problem persisted.
To restore however I had to move my iPhoto library (30 Gigs) to an external hard drive because I did not have enough
room on my hard drive to restore from time machine.
The data is all there, but the thumbnails just won't persist.
I think it is haunted.
thanks

No audio on iPhoto thumbnails in browser

Help!
None of my iPhoto thumbnail clips are playing audio in the browser. But if I drag them into the project timeline, they DO play audio. What am I missing?
They USED to play audio in the browser...now nothing!

Yes, I have had the same problem for weeks now. I tried the last suggestion on this now archived thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10875206&#10875206) which I thought was the best answer yet, but deleting the .plist for Imovie and then repairing permissions didn't work. I have seen another listing indicating that if you have "too many" movies on your hard drive (and thence your event library), your imovie can't handle it. (this individual said that he deleted some videos and it worked fine again-- he could again hear sound in his event browser). But then why does apple sell me a product that doesn't work with the few videos (less than 50GB) that I have in this huge1TB drive iMac they also just sold me? Long and the short of it, I can't find any guidance on how large is "too large" of a video library for Imovie's event browser to handle, assuming that is the problem. I too would welcome any additional guidance on how to solve this very annoying problem.

Lion and iPhoto not updated?

On October 13 i wanted to install ios 5, iphoto 9.2, lion 10.7.2, and already had itunes 10.5
I updated ios 5 without problems, and then went to software update to update my mac.
i found 3 updates: lion, iphoto and recovery. i wanted to install lion and iphoto, leaving recovery behind for 1 day or 2.
i selected iphoto and lion to update and left the computer. i found later an error message saying that it was not able to download, but went to software update to redownload and iphoto and lion were not there(as they were already updated). Now i go to about my mac and the version is 10.7.2 and iphoto is 9.2, but if i search photostream or icloud i can't find it, instead of icloud i can sign in for a mobile me account (same in lion 10.7.1) so makes me think that i have the old version, but computer thinks is the new version, what to do? even searching in iphoto for updates, says is up to date. what can i do? i really need iCloud

Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

When I upgraded my iPhoto thumbnails, my photos disappeared. How can I recover them? I have iPhoto '08.

When I upgraded my iPhoto thumbnails, my photos disappeared. How do I recover them?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 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.

Does anyone know of a CSS / Javascript / jQuery way to program the iPhoto Thumbnail Rollover Slideshow effect.
I am looking to create this effect on the web.
Any suggestions?

It looks like you installed the Library Upgrader, but did not run it. It is installed in "Applications > Utilities". Launch this tool and click the "Choose Library" button to direct it to your iPhoto library.
