Iphoto upgrader won't let me open iPhoto library file
I'm sorry in advance if this question has been asked, I've been searching for awhile now, figured it's just faster to ask.
I'm running Yosemite 10.10.3. After updating and having to use the iPhoto Library Upgrader I've been successful with one of my iPhoto libraries being upgraded to the current format. However, I tried to update my last file today with the upgrader and when I try to select the iPhoto library it is greyed out and it cannot be selected for me to open.
Has anyone had this issue or can help? Thanks in advance...
Unless the version of iPhoto that you were using was iPhoto 7 or earlier you do not need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on them. Just drag the library package onto the Photos icon in the Dock.

Hello,
Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

Jolly A. RuppI also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

HT1589 I hold shift & it won't let me open the library I select. Help!
I hold shift, it asks me if I want to open or create a new library. I click open. I click on my daughters library. It opens it further instead of just opening itunes. Than I try to click on media & open, it opens it further. It doesn't let me open the library. It keeps opening the previous library I had open which is my husbands. It is NOT child appropriate, so please HELP!! My daughter really wants a movie we have a digital copy of but I can't get it on her ipod since it is in her library.
There is no itunes for Android

can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11. Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11. Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.
when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version. We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
When we try to open iphoto is says:
To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto. -
Mountain Lion upgrade won't let me open Microsoft Office app's.
I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and now can't open any of my Microsoft Office applications. Can anybody help me?
Which versions of Office? If you upgraded from Snow Leopard and you're on Office 2004, you're out of luck. If you're on a newer version of Office you should be OK.

How to open older version of iPhoto from an external drive. It won't let me open or upgrade to the latest version?
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 fixes have you tried?
how is the EHD where the library is located formatted?
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?

Apple you massive cults. I upgraded to yosemite now it won't let me ubgrade iphoto because 'I did not buy it'- sort it out
Try each of these in order until one works:
Open App Store and click on your Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them, then do so.
Put the old ones into the Trash, temporarily. Open App Store and see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If asked to buy them, see the next option.
Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
You will have to purchase them using your Apple ID. -
How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
ThanksOption 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.

When i go into finder click on pictures why dose it not show all photos just lets me open iphoto
when i go into finder click on pictures why dose it not show all photos just lets me open iphoto
Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion. But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu). Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily. -

Upgraded to yosemite and cannot open iphoto. Its say i need to upgrade the latest version but it is not available in the Australian store?
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
I plugged my phone in and I'm trying to upload photos like I usually do but iPhoto is saying "Please wait for import to complete". It won't let me close iPhoto or anything. Help please!

Facebook won't let me select iPhoto pic's to upload
Facebook won't let me select iPhoto pic's to upload (see below), the option to select iPhoto is grayed out. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks for your help
That is because you are not doing it correctly - you never directly access teh contents of the iPhoto library - you use the media browser - see the user tip on accessing your files in iPhoto for details on the many correct ways to access yoru photos

The little grey camera icon ( IMovie) is not working or allowing me to open my photos. I have no problem inserting video. Just won't let me open my photos. Any ideas?
deanfromdouglasville,
It may help to rebuild your iPhoto Library's database, as detailed in the article linked below.
