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.

  • Iphoto does not work after instaling yosemite

    I installed Yosemite, everything works fine, but iphoto keeps on crashing en does not load my photo's.

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • My iphoto will not work after downloading iphoto library upgrader.

    I have a new macbook and just tried to use iphoto and it told me I had to download the iphoto library upgrader or quit. I downloaded it but still can not open iphoto.

    You have to download and RUN the iPhoto library upgrader - if and only if your old version of iPhoto is iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x or earlier) - and as always backup your iPhoto library prior to any update or upgrade in case of problems

  • IPhoto upgrade will not install after downloading Yosemite

    iPhoto will not upgrade after installing Yosemite.

    Ok so here's what you gonna do. (had this problem myself today, and after some fiddling figured out what to do.)
    Find your old iPhoto with a cross through it, right-click it and select 'show package contents'. A folder will open. In that folder go to Contents>MacOS and there will be three little things there. Click on the one called 'iPhoto' and terminal will open. Leave terminal open and wait four seconds and VOILA! iPhoto opens. Leave terminal open until you are finished with iPhoto, because if you close terminal, iPhoto will close with it. THX! ENJOY! Hope it works.
    P.S.
    You can close terminal once you close iPhoto. I also suggest backing up your iPhoto library while you can.

  • HT1338 motion 4 will not work after yosemite upgrade

    motion 4 will not work after yosemite upgrade

    To be honest I do not use motion or any other compositing app so i do not miss it personally. However the new Motion is not that expensive, around $60 i think. Still, I understand your frustration.
    I am afraid the more the OS is updated the less compatible certain applications will become.
    Good Luck

  • My iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case.  Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

    my iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case.  Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

    How did you buy iPhoto? Did it come preinstalled on your computer with Lion or later, or did it come with Snowleopard on system installer disks?
    Which version of iPhoto?
    If you have a version of iPhoto '11 and it is showing on the Purchased tab of the App Store, with your Apple ID, then delete iPhoto from the Applications folder  (don't empty the Trash) and download iPhoto again from the Purchased tab.
    If that does not work, contact The App Store Support  from the Quick Links on the AppStore main page.
    Only apple Support can fix problems with apple ID.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

    Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

    Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
    Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
    "There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
    The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
    Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
    So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
    Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
    Thanks for the ideas!

  • TS1702 Certain apps will not work after ios6 install.

    Certain apps will not work after ios6 update. Tiger Woods golf will run for about 5 seconds and stop. Have uninstalled/re-installed to no avail.

    My husband had the same problem with some apps after I updated his iPad 2 to iOS 5.  I checked the app store and there were updates for the apps to support the new software.  After updating, all apps work just fine.

  • 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

  • My iPod touch 4G will not work after I tried to Downgrade it from iOS 5 to iOS 6

    My iPod touch 4G will not work after I tried to Downgrade it from iOS 5 to iOS 6. The screen is black and it doesn't work.

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Glide pad will not work after formatting g60-630ca

    Can somebody help? my glide pad will not work after downgrading to xp.  The pad works itself for the mouse but then the scrolls on the side will not.  Please help...

    You need the driver. It is a Synaptics Touchpad and you can use this driver:
    Synaptics
    Here is a link to the General XP Downgrade guide which has a link to all the drivers you need under "Moderate models:
    XP Guide
    The touchpad is hard because Windows does load a basic driver so it does not appear with an error in Device Manager, but the "real" driver is needed for advanced features like scrolling. Be sure you have all the needed Xp drivers, by the way.

  • Telephone will not work after installing fax wizard

    I have  a new HP Office Pro 8615.   After I installed the fax wizard, my telephone quit receiving or sending calls.  The only incoming call will ring on the fax.  Can I uninstall the fax, as I do not need it?

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your telephone will not work after installing fax wizard, for your HP Officejet Pro 8615. I am happy to help!  What is the Operating System you are using? Windows or Mac? What version? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos. If you do not need the fax, all you should have to do is unplug the phone cable from the back of the printer. That will prevent the printer from using the fax function.  If your phone continues not to work, I would consider contacting your phone provider.  Thank you for posting!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • OMiC will not work after installing Leopard

    Does anyone know why OMiC will not work after upgrading to Leopard?
    After downloading Leopard, went into mail and tried to open a windat file, but a message came up stating OMiC disabled. I deleted that version, and tried to download OMiC 1.7.7 but it won't even get thru the download menu, it stops at "installation" gives me a choice of Tiger, or Panther, and it will not let me go any further. Has this happened to anyone else???

    I am not sure any of the solutions for these files have been made Leopard compatible -- I saw another post about this not long ago. See:
