IPhoto Upgrader not working??

I had a white Macbook from 2008 that I am clearing off and getting rid of. I cleared everything onto a WD My Passport Hard Drive and am trying to get everything on to my new Macbook Pro that runs the latest version of iPhoto. I downloaded the iPhoto Upgrader and every time I choose the library that needs upgrading, it says, "Your library can now be upgraded by the current version of iPhoto. Do you want to launch iPhoto?" and when I click "launch" it tries to open the latest version of iPhoto and it still won't open.
Anybody know what to do??

That is your problem -- at least part of it - maybe all of it
For the iPhoto library to work correctly it must be on a drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)
Not case sensative

Please help! Iphoto upgrade not working!!!

Iphoto is not working. When I open it, it says it is upgrading, but only goes to 99% on step five. Do you know how i can fix this and save my photos? It also doesn't let me click into anything on that window, not even at the bar at the top of the screen, so i have to go into another window and force quit it. Then it does the same thing over again. I tried restarting my computer and shutting it down, but it did not work. Can someone please help?

You must have a corrupted file someplace.
Try these steps:
1: Reset iPhoto database here
iPhoto rebuild database: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
2: Run the #12 and #13 OnyX cache cleaning and corrupted preference file list routines here
Step by Step to fix your Mac
3: Right click on the iPhoto Library and "show package contents" inside is a folder with your Originals.
Duplicate that with the Finder >Duplicate and move OriginalsCopy out of that folder and onto the Desktop, then delete all the files inside the original Original folder and then repeat #1 above, then reimport the OriginalsCopy in batches to see if you can locate the corrupted file.

HT5037 iPhoto Library Upgrader Not Working Properly

I followed the instructions, but when i clicked 'continue' in the Library Upgrader to upgrade my older iPhoto library, the original message about how my iPhoto library needs to be upgraded popped up

What version of iPhot do you ave hat is gving you this message?
You say
am trying to upgrade the iPhoto library to transfer it to my new MacBook Air.
Instead move the libray to the MBA and upgrade it there using the version of iPhotot that is there - you can not upgrade it on the old system with the old version of iPhoto
And the library upgrader does not upgrade the library - it modifies version 7 and earlier libraries so that the new version of iPhoto can upgrade them successfully
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

I just upgraded to the maverick and, of course, the iPhoto does not work with it. How do I upgrade to version 11? I cannot find it anywhere

Recently upgraded to Maverick and the version of iphoto does not work with it. How do I get and download the version 11? I can't find it anywhere

Which iPhoto? 9.4.6 and 9.5.1 work here.
FWIW, iLife '11 is available here: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES

Upgraded my iMac to the new OS X Mavericks now iPhoto will not work.

I up graded my imac to OS X Mavericks now my iphoto will not work, it says there is an upgrade for iphoto available but will not let me upgrade with my apple id, can i delet iphoto and reinstall it with my apple id without loosing all my photos it was working fine till the OS upgrade.

1 - the iPhoto application and the iPhoto library (where you pictures are stored) are separate
2 - deleting the iPhoto application will not help
3 - if you log into the App store using the Apple ID that was used to install iPhoto (or set up the computer) you should be able to upgrade the application
4 - Apple ID issues can not be solved here - contact the App store support - link is on the right of the App store window

Iphoto will not work after uploading yosemite

After uploading the Yosemite upgrade. The iPhoto will not work. I have done what the software recommends. I have deleted the app and reloaded it. I get the same message. The message that i get is:
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.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

My iphoto is not working, what should I do?

Hello, my iphoto is not working, i´ve tried everything that my mac ask for but it still isn´t working.

Yvette,
please tell as in more detail, in what way iPhoto is not working. So it is hard to guess, what might be going on.
First of all - what version of iPhoto. and what version of the Operating System?
In what way does it not work? Does it not launch? Does it crash? Unexpected results?
Are there any error messages?
Is this a new problem or your first try at running and installing iPhoto?
What were you doing, when the problem started? Importing photos? Upgrading the program?
Have tried anything already to troubleshoot the problem?
Regards
Léonie

Did software update today and now IPhoto is not working. Operating system is OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

What OS X version did you upgrade from? What iPhoto version did you have before upgrading? You cannot upgrade a version of iPhoto from a pre-10.10.2 OS X version installation. You needed iPhoto 9.6.1.

IPhoto is not working in my 5s. What should I do

Changed my phone from 4s to 5s and now iPhoto is not working. When I open it it says" the photo library of this device is updating"

Have you restarted your iPhone? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.
Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
If that does not help, reinstall iPhoto - that fixed the same problem for me, but that will delete the iPhoto library, so your journals and slideshows will be lost. You may want to make a backup of your iPhone before you try that.
Reinstall the app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
Delete the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If the download stops, you can resume it.
If even reinstalling iPhoto does not help, restore your iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

My iPhoto is not working, it says this when i open it "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"

My iPhoto is not working, it give me the message i listed in the question. help me fix it so i don't lose all my photos!!

so i don't lose all my photos!!
Make a back up now.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Then:
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.

1 - start by showing a bit of patience
2 - provide detailed, revelant information - what version of iPhoto do you have? Of the OS? what exactly does "not working" mean? What does happen? what has recently changed?
