I brought my macbook air today and after updating to yosemite my iPhoto has a line through it and won't open I've tried to reinstall on app store but apparently the app doesn't exist in the uk can anyone help with this please??

iPhoto (and Aperture) have been deprecated by a new app installed if you have updated to OS X 10.10.3. It's in the Apps folder and is called Photos.

Iphoto won't launch--HELP!

so...I don't know what happened, it always worked before. When I launch iPhoto I only get the spinning icon that says "Loading Photos" but the photos never come up. I've tried force quit, quit, everything. I even deleted the com.apple.iphoto.plist thing, but it still just turns and turns "loading" the pictures, frozen. I tried to save pictures from my e-mail into iPhoto, did that screw something up? is there an upgrade available for iPhoto 4.0.3?

I have the exact same problem. I haven't been able to get iPhoto to open. I simply wait for the spinning circle to stop & load images and nothing happens. I have tried reloading library by holding down the shift key & the options key at the same time while opening iPhoto and it begins the process of reloading images, but it unexpectedly quits.
I even reinstalled my system software, no help. I have check for system updates, nothing.
Can anybody help determine why iPhoto attempts to launch but never does? I am thinking I lost some file essential to iPhoto opening, but since reinstalling the systems disk didn't work I don't know what gives.
Please help?!!

IPhoto won't launch. Please help.

Asking for to run Software Update to install. But when I run Software Updates from the Apple menu, none are available when prompted. Also, when I visit the Purhcased section on the App Store, it says iPhoto is already fully installed. But it's not working. Confused.

MX 2004 won't launch-help, please....

Install of Macromedia Studio X 2004 (dreamweaver, fireworks, flash) stopped opening all of a sudden. Happened on two different computers at roughly the same time. Have read all related support forums at Apple and Adobe, have tried many suggested fixes to no avail. Have dumped prefs, tried the Hot Fix install, permission fix, the Quicktime update, etc. I can't do a software reinstall b/c it won't accept my admin passowrd. A possibly related problem is that I can't print either. Have a feeling it is a bizarre permissions/licensing issue but I can't nail it down.
Running 10.4.9 on Intel MacBook Pro and a PowerPC Dual G4, both experiencing the same problem.
Is there any reliable help out there? Thanks!

Good morning ArtieTet,
I had the exact same problem and came across your post. I've since solved it on my computer. I'm not sure what your level of computer expertise is and whether or not you're comfortable editing your registry, so I've dumbed-down the following instructions a bit - forgive me if they're too dumbed-down!
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type regedit
4. Click the OK button
5. Double click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key (folder) on the left
6. Double click the SOFTWARE key
7. Double click the MACROMEDIA key
8. Right click the DREAMWEAVER MX 2004 key
9. Click Rename
10. Type a new name for the key, such as OLD DREAMWEAVER MX 2004
11. Press Enter
12. Try to start Dreamweaver again
If all goes well, Dreamweaver should open and re-create that DREAMWEAVER MX 2004 registry key from scratch. There's likely some corrupt data in it, though I haven't been able to figure out what. If I do, I'll let you know.

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!

The icon is still here, but iphoto won't launch on my MacBookPro.

The icon is still here, but iphoto won't launch on my MacBookPro (Mac OSX 10.5.8). I have iphoto 8.1.2 and used it just yesterday. I left-clicked the icon to quit and restart it, and there's a check by the command to indicate that happened, but nothing opens up. I tried to launch it through applications, but nothing. It's not minimized at the bottom of the screen either. It's like it's invisible!

Hold Option key, open iPhoto and select the iPhoto library. If it doesn't help, reinstall iPhoto with the Applications disc that came with the computer

XI have just replaced my hard drive and uploaded my backup. Now iPhoto won't launch or reset and relaunch. Suggestions?

I have just replaced my hard drive (more memory) and uploaded my Time Machine backup. Now iPhoto won't launch or reset and relaunch. Suggestions?

Well without no information to work with, try reinstall.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Updated iPhoto won't launch..Someone, help please!

I just downloaded the newest version of iPhoto last night, and for some reason, it won't launch. The icon's there, and it bounces up and down when I click on it, but nothing happens and it won't open. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it? Should I just remove it and try downloading again? I'm afraid doing so might delete my photo library..! Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

ISYNC WON'T LAUNCH HELP!

When I open up isync application, it won't launch at all. I see the word isync and help on top of the menu bar but when I click on them, nothing at all happens. Please help me get my isync working anyone! Thanks!

I had this problem last week and found a fix here on the boards, but you must be willing to go against the official Apple advice.
Go into your user library's application support folder (/Users/YourName/Library/Application Support/). Look for the "SyncService" and "SyncServices" folders. There will be one of each.
One of these is the WRONG one. And even though Apple's own tech notes say "Like a swarm of angry bees, avoid touching this folder," I'm sad to say... you're gonna have to touch it.
IMPORTANT STEP:
Open both folders and look at the file dates. Find the most recent (for me, that was SyncServices). Take the other folder and right-click it. Select "Create Archive of SyncService" to make a quick .zip backup of the folder.
Now. Take a deep breath and delete the folder you backed up.
Re-launch iSync.
Did it work?
If not, you can restore the original folder by unzipping the SyncService.zip that you created, and try something else (maybe try the same with the other SyncServices folder, just to be sure).

IPhoto won't launch! And yes I've updated everything.

iPhoto won't work all of a sudden this week. When I try to launch it, the rainbow wheel just hangs there forever, and the grey and white background of iPhoto (minus all the photos) hangs there uselessly behind it.
It worked just last week! I tried installing all updates on my Macbook, and it still won't launch.
It stopped working right after I allowed my Apple tv to update itelf actually.
Another thing that happened since I allowed my Apple tv and my Macbook to both install all updates is that my music is no longer available through Apple TV, even though I paid the annual fee to have my music available in the cloud at all times. It just says, "syncing purchased music: your purchased music is curretnly being synced to your Apple TV"...and has said so for a few days now.
I am guessing there is a problem with the updates somehow?
I've tried the suggestion I read about in some other threads about holding down the command and option keys while launching iphoto, but still no luck. Rainbow wheel of death and iPhoto stays on the grey/white blank screen.
Any advice is appreciated.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
Be sure to Hold the option and command keys down until the first aid screen comes up

IPhoto won't launch for a user

iPhoto (9.4.3) won't launch for one of the users on our iMac running OS X Lion 10.7.5
We have two user accounts both with Admin previleges. For one of the accounts, iPhoto works fine. For the other account, it just won't launch iphoto and we don't get any error message when launching it from the dock. However, when launching iPhoto from a terminal window (/Applications/iPhoto.app/Content/MacOS/iphoto) the error is:
illegal instruction: 4.
I've trashed the iphoto preference file...no joy. I've also tried launching iPhoto while holding down the option key...also no joy.
Any suggestions?

I have removed everything from my user library and reinstalled InDesign. Now InDesign begins to launch, but then crashes when it gets to the 'Starting up Service Registry' line on the application screen. Any thoughts? My call to apple has yielded a 'we've done everything we can do' response.

Mac G5/Pro Tools 002R Digi Core Audio Won't Launch HELP!!

All of a sudden Digi Core Audio won't launch. Not with I-Tunes, Not With Pro Tools, not with audio through the internet. What should I do? HELP!!
I haven't installed or updated anything. I ran disk utility and I got a message in RED saying
Volume Header Needs minor repair/
Volume Macintosh HD Needs to be repaired.
1. HFS Volume Checked
Volume Needs Repair
Someone suggested I hit the repair button but the repair disk button is grayed out.
What should I do next. I am basically computer illiterate, can you talk me through it like I am an 6 year old.
Thanks!!

Hi, you cannot Repair the drive you are booted from... a silly OSX feature if you ask me!
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
(If perchance you cant Find your Install Disk, at least do the Safe Boot part above).
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Safari won't launch - help!

Hi. I recently had my Mac sorted out at the Apple Store (the Airport icon disappeared and they removed a corrupt file) but now at home, I can't launch my Safari - either from the dock or the Applications folder. My internet connection is at full strength.
I updated Safari to 4.0.3 thinking this may rectify the problem, but it hasn't.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks.

Hi! As of 2 days ago, my Safari won't launch; well,let me be specific: it launches to the first link but then the loading button turns grey and keeps spinning and spinning and nothing happens. I read Raj Oct 3 post and given solutions and have tried doing the same thing. I can't find the file" com.apple.LaunchServices.plist~/Library/Preferences" anywhere using Spotlight.
I've had my Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 using Safari 4.0.3 since January with no problems until 2 days ago.
Would really appreciate any suggestions.
BTW. Have been running VMWare Fusion on my MAC and 2 days ago, that too froze and gave me the response of fatal error, rebooting impossible. Haven't been able to resolve that either. But Safari is more important right now.
Thank you.
