IPhoto trouble on Macbook Pro. Please help!

I have reached max capacity on memory on my macbook. Bought an external hard drive to back up all of my pictures and to clear up room on my computer. I did this two days ago. Since then, I have not been able to open iPhoto. When I do, I get this message :
"Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable. Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup."
Please help!!!! I have restarted my computer and that doesn't work. I am scared to rebuild bc I don't want to lose all of my pictures. They are from the first 2 years of my daughter's life. and to make matters worse, they are not showing up on my external hard drive either!! Please please help!!!!!!!

First don't confuse memory with hard drive space. You ran out of hard drive space.
Secondly you can post iPhoto issues in the iPhoto forums. Make sense?

The Hardware Test detected a RAM problem. Take out the chips and make certain that the connections are clean and reinstall them. Make certain that they are well seated.
If the problem occurs again, test with one chip at a time. Also swap bays if necessary.
Please indicate if you have installed new RAM and if so what brand and the specifications.
Ciao.

I'm having troubles installing 10.6.3 on my Macbook Pro, PLEASE HELP

I'm getting the error that seems to happen to a lot of people: "(volume name)" can't be used because it doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme.
When I go to change the Volume Scheme in Disk Utility it's grayed out and says Current, and the Options button is also grayed out, so I can't touch either.
So I try to boot the machine using the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 disc by holding the "c" key during start-up (bong sound) and it spits the disc out and boots normally... is the SL disc not a boot disc as well? I don't care if i have to format the hard drive, I just want it to work with the newer operating system(s). I'm just worried I'll format my hard drive, go to boot with the disc, and it'll pop it out again.
Please help. I'm losing hours at work trying to get this thing updated to Mavericks via Snow Leopard

Do a backup before proceeding.
Try putting the 10.6.3 disk in the computer. During a restart, hold down the option/alt key, select the disk, and see if you can boot from there. If so, select the language, then go to the Utilities menu, and select Disk Utility. Check to see what partition scheme you have by selecting the hard drive.
If you don't have GUID, you are going to need to erase the drive and reformat, which will cause you to lose all your data. Did I mention doing a backup?
If you do have GUID, run Disk Utility repair disk and repair permissions. You may have to do this more than once. Then try in install 10.6.3.
If successful, use the combo update to get to 10.6.8 and then run Software update until there are no more updates.
10.6.8 Combo Updater

Slow Macbook Pro- please help, I don't understand previous advice.

Hello all,
I have a very slow Macbook Pro running on Lion 10.7.3.
I looked up this problem on the forums before I sent this message but I didn't quite understand the advice. I have been on something called Disk Utility and Activity Monitor but don't really understand what I'm looking for. It seems a large percentage of my mac is 'idle' if that makes sense. Someone said to look at Page Out but I really don't understand what that means and what sort of numbers are normal.
I do have some storage left so I don't think it could be that. A lot of my gigabytes seem to be taken up by movies and 'other'. I've tried deleted a load of videos but it hardly made a difference. I have Mac Mail and it seems very slow on my Macbook compared to on my Ipad and iphone. iCal is also very slow on here and it always takes a while to load internet pages. It isnt the wifi connection.
Please help and bear in mind I am by no means a Mac whizz so you might have to talk in layman's terms!
Thanks,
Amy

If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “kernel.log” from the file list. Post the dozen or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.

Final Cut Crashes on macbook pro, please help!

Hi!
I just bought Final Cut Studio 3, but Im having some issues. Final Cut Pro 7 crashes at startup, everytime. Motion 4 crashes when I click on "file". Color and DVD studio works okay-ish (I havent tried them out extensively)
Could this be due to my macbook pro 4.1 not being good enough? I have 4 gb ram, 2,4 ghz, and I dont think it has integrated graphics, so it seems to pass all requirements.
Please help me! I paid lots of money for this program, so it would be a shame if I cant get it to work.

Hi Mads,
These are the specs recommended by apple.

Also, do you have any third party filters/effects loaded.

Monitor for Macbook Pro, Please help!!!

Hey guys,
I have a middle 2009 Macbook Pro, and want to connect an external monitor as primary monitor. My budget is around 300-400, and hope to find a relatively perfect one in that price range. I'm really care about brightness, and don't like dim/dark ones. I mainly use the monitor to watch movies and play a few games. 27 inch would be perfect....well, if it has to be smaller.
if anyone is familiar with monitor, please help me out.
I'm considering HP 2711X, Samsung P2770 HD.
any suggestions would be appreciated!!

I am surprised no one asked you the following question regarding your response.
What if I don't what 2 displays and I only want to support the external monitor? Can I be in extended mode and have only 1 display?
The reason why I ask is because I am going to buy a dock for my MacBook (2012). The dock forces the MacBook to close thereby rendering the internal display useless.
I think what I am after is some sort of "extended to external" mode.

I am having problems updating my iPhoto on my MacBook Air, please help?

I started to update iPhoto on my MacBook Air, but I had bad wifi at home so I paused it. But now that I have good and fast wifi, I press Resume and it asks for my apple ID, so I put it, but then it says that the connection failed, can someone please help!

Back up all data.
Quit the App Store application if it's running. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
open $TMPDIR../C
Press return. A folder should open. From that folder, delete the subfolder named "com.apple.appstore".
Launch the App Store and try again.

Macbook pro please help it wont work ???

hi everyone i have a 3day old macbook pro 13inch its been woking fine until i downloaded lion x this morning and now when i switch on the mac all i get is a white screen with a flashing folder with a ? in the middle. can somone please help me to get it working again thanks

If Apple thinks it's a hardware problem, it's not something simple. Take it in for service.
Next time you buy a computer, don't do so until you're ready to open the box and use it as soon as you get it home. If you had had this problem within 14 days of your purchase, you could have exchanged the machine for a new one with Lion preinstalled, no questions asked.

Wireless Connection Issue Macbook Pro PLEASE HELP!

Hi
I got a brand new macbook pro 13' the other week, i installed everything etc and also my bt home hub 2 showed up in airport and it all worked fine no problem no matter where i was in the house.
Yesterday i tried to get on the Internet on the bottom floor and my router is on the 3rd floor and it won't connect to my Internet, it asked for the access key and then i get timed out message and then a message abut its the wrong key, out of range etc. I then go to the room with the router in or on the same floor and it connects and works fine, but soon as i move downstairs it does'nt work as it did before.
Ive reset the router, changed router channels to all of them, changed it to G, N etc and still no joy, also tried WEP and still no joy
Is this an issue with my mac or my router, my mac and router are n power why is suddenly not reaching the bottom floor when it did no problem before.
Please help
Sam

Macbook Pro and BT Homehub4. Looked for help here but did not find it, however, solved the problem by chance as below.
Problem - having recently installed Homehub4 Macbook was persistently refused access to the hub on the grounds that a password was required and the one keyed in was incorrect. An older iMac upstairs was fine - this was the one set up by the engineer when installing. Signal strength was at full.
Solution - found by chance that the Macbook worked ok from another room and concluded that the signal strength was just too high in the original position. By placing a biscuit tin in front of the hub the signal is sufficiently attenuated to work in the original room, and is still good enough to use the upstairs machine too.
So signal is too strong! I call that counterintuitive and I bet no help desk would think of it.
Regards, John.
