IPhoto Update version 6.0.6 download appears to hang

I opened iPhoto about an hour-and-a-half ago and I received a message indicating there were new updates (5 files). I indicated that the process should go forward. The files downloaded and began to install. The fourth one in the list, iPhoto Update 6.0.6 (smallest one - 7.3 MB) is currently in the process of installing, but it has been in this state (spinner spinning) for the last hour. What gives?
iMac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4)  

My bad (chock it up to the fact that until last week I had never touched an iMac). I had the application open and apparently the update needs to install with the application closed. As soon as I closed the app, the installation finished - 2 decades of Windows indoctrination has numbed my senses.

  • Using iPhoto-updated version on mac mini, how do I see photos through iCloud on my ipad2?

    I have a mac mini where we have 3K pictures.  These are all in iphoto and we just purcased the ipad2 and are using icloud, but we cannot see pictures that are stored on the mac mini.  Need help

    iCloud is a method of getting photos from one device to another, not a way of viewing files. So, if you want to add the photos to your iPad, add them to the Photostream on your Mac.

  • I tried to download the updated version and got vast loads of AAM files appearing on the top of my Firefox browser. Why?

    I recently changed from Chrome to Firefox as I no longer trust anything to do with Google.  Anyway, I hoped the change would allow me to download the version of Muse with the In-Browser Edit facility.  I entered Adobe Muse 2014 into the browser search and signed in to Adobe CC.  I was a little surprised not to see the Muse icon up front and centre; eventually I located it and watched the intro video before hitting download.  Immediately a continous stream of aam files began to stream along the stop of the browser. For a start I am not familiar with aam files and I don't know why Firefox would run the files along the top of the browser.  Is the updated version of Muse actually downloading?  After half an hour I got suspicious and clicked stop.  Any ideas what's going on?

    I can't speak to the behavior of Firefox. I only use it infrequently and the behavior you're seeing may be dependent on your configuration (i.e. the plug-ins you have installed in Firefox). However, I can explain the Muse installation process.
    Starting with the Adobe Muse CC 2014 release Muse now uses the same installer technology and installation process as all other Adobe applications available as part of Creative Cloud. When any Creative Cloud application is installed, step one is the installation of the Creative Cloud desktop application (if it's not already installed and up-to-date). CC desktop manages the installation of Adobe application along with many other cloud features (i.e. access to cloud storage, folder sync, access to fonts, access to community and marketplace, etc.). Adobe Application Manager (AAM) is a subcomponent of the CC desktop application and thus part of the installation of CC desktop.
    This process is the same whether you're using the free level of Creative Cloud, are using a trial of a Creative Cloud app, have a Creative Cloud Single App subscription for just Muse or are a full Creative Cloud subscriber.

  • The app proloquo2go is stuck in an update. Tries to keep downloading and cannot be used

    The app worked fine until an update was indicated. The download appeared to start and has never completed.  The app cannot be used since it is always stuck in apparent download.  I have the purchase number for the app but it doesn't appear when I log in to see what apps have been downloaded.

    I have exactly the same Problem ! iTunes starts downloading the 885MB of the update over and over again, One Cycle takes a Lot of time.

    The Early 2011 MacBook Pro shipped with Snow Leopard, so these are not the Mac App Store versions of iLife, they are the boxed software versions.
    If they are in an iWork '09 folder take them out and let them loose in the Apps folder. Then reindex your HDD.

  • I can not download the last Iphoto update, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

    I can not download the last Iphoto update that I already purchased it by app store, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

    Thanks for your replay,
    Finally the Iphoto 9.5 was installed...any way ..I had to go to app store to purchase it because the previous version did not updated autimatically... only shoed me that there is a new version ...but it guided me to the app store to purchase it.... and I did it because I did not know that the up date was free...and the sistem did not adviced me about that...
    I have the last up date of os x 10.9 already...
    in this new version I have no problem to send the photos by e-mail... but in the previous one it allways showed me an error message like ¨I should try later because the server does not work¨  but I tryed with 4 differents e-mail account that worked perfectly in the app Mail.
    any way, this new version is ok..
    thenks a lot

    I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
    I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
    I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
    After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
    “Welcome to Aperture 3.2
    Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
    Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
    Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
    Current Library Location:
    Jadzia (home)   -----Pictures------Aperture Library
                                                      QUIT             UPGRADE”
    I have heard horror stories  about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
    So here is my dilemma.  I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
    Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

    Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop.  Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
    You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file.  For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto. 
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • I have a Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.8 with no updates. Bundled is iPhoto 11, version 9.2.6. I would like to update my OS to 10.9.5 or later. Is this possible and which version is recommended?

    I have a MacBookPro with OS 10.6.8. It has no updates. This version contains Iphoto 11, version 9.2.3. I would like to upgrade my operating system to 10.9.5 or later. Is this possible and how best to proceed? How will this affect iPhoto?
    Thanks, Jeff

    If you have a mid/late 2007 MBP you can install the latest OSX that is available, on your MBP.  Mavericks (10.9) has been replaced by Yosemite (10.10) and is no longer available in the App store. 
    You choices are Lion (10.7), Mt.Lion (01.8) (both $20) or Yosemite (free).  The first two are available from the Apple online web site.  Yosemite can be downloaded from the App store.
    Ciao.

  • I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2. (424) today a few photos will not open.  I can see them as thumbnails but they try to open and then a big ! mark appears

    I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2. (424).   Today a few photos will not open.  I can see them as thumbnails but when I  try to open them they start to open and then a big ! mark appears.  I have not had this problem before.  Can you help

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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. .

  • How do I put my photos from a hard drive to my mac using different versions of Iphoto?  It is saying I can't because of the updated version.

    Hello,
    I am trying to move photos from my hard drive to my mac.   Mac is using an updated version of Iphoto and is denying the transfer.
    How do I get around this?  Do I download the order version?  or can I not get my photos?  If anyone can help please do.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
    Thanks Carol

    I copied my photos onto my hard drive from my mac about 3 months ago.  I just plugged my hard drive in to put my pictures back onto my mac but it is giving me a message when trying to open up the photos from the hard drive that states
    Like I said we need to know exactly what you did
    THere are lots of totally different ways to "copy your photos" onto a hard drive
    Exactly how did you do that? The correct way to move an iPhoot library is to verify that the hard drive is formattted Mac OS extended (journaled) and then to drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to it - reverse to bring it back - just drag it from the EHD to the pictures folder (default location) on your computer
    Why are you doing this?
    you can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database - depending on what has been going on this might resolve things

  • My JPEGS are no longer being copied over to Finder.  Only a random fraction are copied.  It use to work perfect.  Is there a bug in the updated versions of iPhoto?

    My JPEGS are no longer being copied over to Finder.  Only a random fraction are copied.  It use to work perfect.  I can move them 4 or 5 at a time, but it is very time consuming.    Is there a bug in the updated versions of iPhoto?

    OK - here is what I've done in the past.  As I want to be able to save my photos on  a DVD that can be read by both a PC and a Mac, I am burning them in Finder.  I start by downloading into IPhoto.  I'll flag and edit the ones I want to print or post to the web.  After that I want to take all the keepers and move them from IPhoto to various files I create in the document  section of Finder.  I've done it both ways in the past, copy and paste or just drag over, all the files would transfer over.  Now there may be dozens of pictures that do not move over - very random, in one case there were only 6 photos and the 3 vertical ones did not copy over.
    I'm wondering if this is a software issue or if there is just too much data being moved around.  FYI there are 2 Nikon cameras I use and the files from both do this.
    Thanks
