IPhoto uploads won't work.

My iPhoto won't accept uploads from my Kodak camera since the last update. Message says it is an unrecognizable format. What can I do to fix this?

Use a card reader - there is a compatibility problem with Kodak's USB interface

Picassa iPhoto uploader doesn't work in iPhoto 08 anymore

Hi
I post some of my photos on Picassa. With iPhoto 07, no prb: I downloaded the Picassa iPhoto uploader, and from iPhoto, I used to be able to export my albums easily. But I upgraded to iPhoto 08 few days ago, and just realized there's a bug, and the Picassa uploader doesn't work anymore: after formatting the pictures, the process freezes during the 'Create Album' step, my mac fan starts to run crazy, and I have to cancel the operation. I deleted and reinstalled the uploader, same thing. I can still use the uploader to load picture in Picassa from Finder directly, but I think it was easier and sleeker to do it from iPhoto. I'm disappointed to find such a bug. Has anyone else met that problem with Picassa, or with any other uploader? Is there a solution?
Thanks
Laurent

You'll have to wait until Picasa and the other plugin developers update their plugins to be compatible with iPhoto 7. The ball's in their court.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Facebook Upload Won't Work

I installed iLife '09 earlier today, and tonight I tried to upload my first album to Facebook.
I logged in just fine, and it went through "Uploading Thumbnails..." etc. and finished.
But no photos appear in Facebook. There is also no web link at the top of the album like it says there should be. When I close and reopen iPhoto, the "broadcasting" publish bars are not beside the album anymore.
I have rebooted twice, made sure I am up to date on all software, and have repaired permissions.
Anyone else having an issue? Or have any suggestions?

Thanks! I was having this issue also, and since it was the first album I tried to upload I didn't realize it was just that album that wasn't working. Too bad we can't leave the & in there...

IPhoto '09 won't work

I can open iPhoto and see my events (so looks normal when I open) and then when I click on an event it just spins and spins and spins and ultimately I have to force quit. The first time this happened I was uploading photos from my camera and received an error message (long time ago and now can't remember what it said) - something that I had never seen before. Anyway, I am desperate to get some photos out of there! I do have the computer backed up to an external harddrive with time machine but don't really know what I could do to maybe fix it through there. AND I'm not sure where my iLife disc is (although I'm sure it's around here somewhere in some 'safe' place). Any ideas on how to fix this?? Thanks.

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, 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.

Can't open Iphoto, update won't work

I've tried to open the Iphoto program and immediately it tells me I need an update. I try to update and halfway through it fails. It gives me the option to try again or quit. I've tried both. If I try and update again, it repeats the process and fails again. I've tried updating from the app store and that doesn't work either. I am unable to even open the program because of this problem. Help!

Apply the two fixes below to your library in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhoto movies won't work after Snow Leopard update

I recently updated to Snow Leopard an now my iPhoto movies wont' play. Any ideas?

I have contacted autodesk to update my license but this hasn't worked.
Hasn't worked how? I don't know anything about Maya, but a lot of things changed under-the-hood in Snow Leopard, meaning a lot of programs broke. Are you running the most recent version of Maya, and is that version supposed to work on SL?

YouTube upload won't work

I am suddently unable to upload to YouTube with my username/password from FCP X and yet can easily do so with other client's login info. Also, I CAN log directly into YouTube with that same username and password so I know that it DOES work with Google/YouTube, yet not directly from FCP X. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Some people have reported success by changing their password. Although I don't use FCP to initiate the YT upload, I have tested it because it comes up so often; and it does not work for me – either from FCP or from Compressor. On the other hand, FCP>Share>Vimeo does work – as does uploading through Compressor. Go figure.

I've updated to Maverick and now my iPhoto app won't work until updated. The problem I'm experiencing is that my Apps store won't grant me access to update the app. help.

Included are screen grabs of some of the message prompts I'm recieving when attempting to update my iPhoto app.
*side note: my operating system recently crashed, and my comptuer was wiped, so 'salvaging' photos from the current app is not a factor since they've been backedup externally already.

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app(s) in your purchase history. If there's a button markedACCEPT on the right, click it.
Step 2
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 3
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
Step 4
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 5
Delete the app(s) you want to update and reinstall them.

After inadvertently deleting Safari, I reinstalled all applications, but iphoto still won't work

After inadvertently deleting Safari, I reinstalled all applications, and all returned to full fucntion except for iPhoto. Although the iPhoto icon appears in the dock, and despite my also having successfully downloaded the most current version of iPhoto via "Software Update, now when I open iPhoto, I get a window stating that I can’t open my "current photo library using this version of iPhoto." The window also advises as follows: "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" However, despite tha apparetnly two options stated in the window--quitting or creating a new library, the only thing I can do at that point is "Quit," which closes iPhoto. When I reopen it, I enter the endless loop of window notifications documented above. What can I do, if anything, to render iPhoto functional with regard to the photos I had saved to it before I had to reinstall all of the applications on my iMac? Alternatively, are those photos lost forever? Please advise.

It's hard to say for sure, because we do not know what version you had or have now.
You should have to pay again if you already paid for an iPhoto upgrade at one time or another. All you should have to do go to the App Store select Purchases and reinstall that version of iPhoto.
If you did not Purchase an iPhoto upgrade from the App Store, then you will need to look and see what version of iPhoto you have (6, 8 or 9) and then as Carolyn suggests update it with the latest update for that version.

FWIW, I do believe that iPhoto 9.2.3 is the latest version of iPhoto 11 that will run in 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

Hi, recently I downloaded a picture downloading app because I was trying to upload a video on instagram but now my iPhoto won't work, it says another app is running, I have already deleted the app on my phone but how do i uninstall it on my macbook?

Open Activity Monitor by searching it in spotlight.
Go to the app that you downloaded & quit it. If it won't quit then Force Quit.

Had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, new iPhoto etc. just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No rosetta and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

I had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, snow leopard and mountain lion, just to connect my new iPhone 5 and somewhere between uploading iPhone 4S pics to iCloud some important pics disappeared then installed new iTunes and purchased new iPhoto all just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No Rosetta to make apps work but its not as simple as upgrading apps and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

File a complaint with Apple for not giving adequate warning before upgrading OS X that it would render PPC programs dead.
That someone at Apple said requiring the iPhone 5 to have 10.8 (10.6.8 is the minimum actually) and in order to remain a loyal Apple customer they need to fix this mess and revert your machine and software back to 10.6.8
You see, 10.6.8 would have ran your iPhone 5 and ran your PPC based software, so whoever told you to upgrade to 10.8 was wrong and they need to fix your machine.
It can be reverted to 10.6.8 yourself.

IPhoto and Apple ID won't work after system update

I've recently updated my MacBook Air to OS X v10.9.4. iPhoto won't work as i am currently using v9.2. I've tried downloading a later version but have been advised that my Apple ID will not work on this computer. NB. I have an iPhone but have not used the Apple ID on this - to my knowledge, or another Apple ID on my system. I'm a basic level user so any advice on this would be great.
Many thanks,
Elza

have been advised that my Apple ID will not work on this computer
Advised how, exactly?

Updated to Yosemite, no problem. now iPhoto and iMovie won't open. Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software. User ID and PW works everywhere else.

I am having the same problem. I even changed my password and updated all of my security information. Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work. Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00. So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid. Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

Updated to os x now iPhoto won't work

i just updated my os to os x and now my iphoto (version 9.2.3) says that it won't work with this os. i'm presently downloading the updated version (9.5), will this solve the problem? thx

thank you, i have updated it but now when i open iphoto it asks what library to use. is there a way to merge it with my old iphoto? i backedup my pictures onto a hard drive prior to installing and deleted my pictures off of my computer.
Frankly that is not a good idea
What exactly dd you do? Backin up your pictures is ot the same as backing up your iPhoto library - and if you pur your iPhoto library on an external drve it must be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - if you backed up your iPhoto library then siply drag it back to the picture folder and launch iPhoto
i open iphoto it asks what library to use
That is because you have no iPhoto library in your pictures folder
deleted my pictures off of my computer.
And that is why
