Iphoto will not stop updating libary after it said the old one needs to be updated

I have more than one iPhoto library's but now when I try to open iPhoto it only gets as far as "upgrading library" and nothing else happens
have i lost all my photos? how do I get them back? how do I fix this

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.

My Firefox will not pull up, even after I uninstalled the old version and installed the new version. What is wrong with it? It only had this problem recently.

I am having problems getting Firfox to open. I have unistalled the 14. version and then installed the 15. version hoping that it would fix the problem. It didn't. I have even tried restarting the computer, which also did not solve the problem. I know it is not the computer, because all other applications open properly, except this one. I would like to know what is going on and the problem to be fixed please.

After installing ios5 and having had to change my apple id to e-mail address I am unable to download updates as they were purchased under my previous id and it will not allow me to get back into the old id Help please.

Make sure you enter your new Id in settings/message, settings/facetime. ANy content that you downloaded with the old ID is forever linked to that old ID and if you have apps that were downloaded with the old ID and you want to update them you can only do that with the old ID. You could delete those apps and downlad them again ( and pay for them if they are not free apps)

iphoto will not close down when i click on the red X button

Right (Command) click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock and see if you can select Quit there or if you get an iPhoto not responding message. If you do get that message you'll have to the the  ➙ Force Quit... menu option then figure out why iPhoto is stalled.

The message "iPad Not Backed Up" appears on the screen and will not go away, even after I push the "OK" button. What can I do?

Hello Tholc
The reason for that is the screen motion that is enabled. With certain photos and how they were taken, they will be zoomed in so that there is no black space on the photo.

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

IPhoto will not open my library after I restored from Time Machine

I was successfully able to restore most if not all of my data from Time Machine after I had to get a new hard drive on my iMac. But iPhoto will not open my photo library. A window pops up that says I modified some of my photos using a newer version of iPhoto, so I must open that version. But I do not have a newer version than iPhoto 7.1.5.
I have iPhoto 8.2 on my laptop, but how could I have modified any of the same photos on that? The iMac library is not on the laptop.
I would appreciate any input on how to recover my photo library.

You can get this message if the database file is corrupted.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Iphoto will not stop asking for my confidential info from Facebook every time I open it.

It allows me to deny, but will not stop asking

Remember this was a test. It tells us that iPhoto is essentially sound and the issue is within your main library.
Let's try repair that:
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.

Iphoto will not play H.264 video: error message "The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -101.)" Any suggestions to fix?

Hi, I am on iphoto 11 version 9.2, Mac OS 10.7.5 using a macbook Pro 2.8Ghz Intel. All of a sudden I cannot play video (H.264) on iphoto. I get the message "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -101.)". I rebuilt the iphoto database and videos played once, since then, they will not play and I continue to get the error message, even if I rebuild the database.
Any thoughts or helpful suggestions from anyone gratefully received.

Hi Terence,
Thank you for your help.
My saved iphoto library is in iphoto 09 and I have now iphoto 11 in my iMac as I upgraded from OS X Lion Mountain to OS X Mavericks.
Thanks
Charles

Just bought a new iMac and it is telling me it will take 27 hours to transfer documents from the old one!! Is this normal? Can I speed this up some how??

I just bought a new iMac and it says it will take 27 hours to transfer documents from the old mac! Is this normal? Can I speed this up??

If you are transferring with Wi-Fi or Ethernet and you have to transfer a lot of files, it's normal. Wi-Fi and Ethernet are the slowest methods to transfer files.
Instead, you can check if your old Mac has got a FireWire 800 port. If so, you can get a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter and a FireWire cable, so the transfer will be done by FireWire, making the migration faster.
If you don't want to spend money, continue the migration. Another thing you can do is to get an external drive, make a Time Machine backup of your old Mac and use the backup to transfer your files to the new Mac. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

External hard drive will not stop spinning even after partition

Just been on to WD As i had a 320 passport that would not stop spinning ,
After contacting them i discovers all 5 are doing the same. Other brands too. They get hot, The 320 I did a full mac HD disc utility check, partitioned , All fine , but the Ext HD still keeps spinning, WD company said its a problem with the computer,
So i have done the same test and repair on permissions on the main internal mac drive.
So what’s Causing this ? WD do there own diagnostics, Only on windows.
I have read the other forum here on the matter but could not make any sence of it,
A resolve would be good , thank you

Perhaps some application is using the hard drives... check "Activity Monitor" in Applications>Utilities and see if you can figure out what might be doing it.
Some ideas are any virus scanning program, any hard disk monitoring program, and spotlight. You could try going to Spotlight Preferences (in System Preferences) and adding your hard drives to the Privacy tab.
Hope this helps!

HT2978 my iphone went black and it will not come back even after i held the two bottons for over a min

my iphone went black and it will not come back on even after i held the botons down for a min

Hey dodie67,
Thanks for the question. Sounds like your iPhone stopped responding to buttons, switches, or touchscreen input, so you'd want to go through the troubleshooting steps in the following article and see if that resolves the issue:
