IPhoto won't open, even after 3 re-installations.

My problem is fairly simple; iPhoto refuses to open. I have installed iLife '09 three times because of this, and each time it makes no difference. It hangs for awhile and then offers to relaunch, close, or send a report to Apple. Not really sure what to do at this point.. If it helps, I have a Macbook Pro from early 2008(I think) running Leopard. I've updated everything as of yesterday.

I tried this, and it didn't open on the other account either. Exact same error message. Here's a copy of it:

IPhoto won't open even after running library upgrader

I upgraded to Yosemite.
When I received the prompt " To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.", I did that (several times) but I continue to receive the prompt.
I deleted my iPhoto preference file - com.apple.iphoto.plist - and tried again, no luck.
I deleted iPhoto and installed the application anew, no luck.
If I MOVE my iPhoto library out of my Pictures folder, I could create a NEW iPhoto library - but I don't want to do that.
Help?

Did you go to your Applications/Utilities folder and find the upgrader there? Then double click on it to run it?
If I MOVE my iPhoto library out of my Pictures folder, I could create a NEW iPhoto library - but I don't want to do that.
No need to move anything: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

I had original iPhoto app from 2007, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater. My pictures are lost in the abyss.

Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

Try close all inactive apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen

IPhoto will not open even after installation

After importing some photo images from a CD and beginning to edit (red eyes) a few of them, *iPhoto hung up* with the spinning ball. So, I tried to close the application and even shut down the iMac without success. Eventually, I just shut down the iMac using the on/off switch in the back of the globe. After starting it up again, I tried to restart iPhoto without success. Now iPhoto just won't open up. I have tried the MacOS X disk utilities at least twice; and I have used DiskWarrior without impact. I have removed and reinstalled iPhoto 4.0.1 from the iLife disk three times unsuccessfully. At this stage every time I try to start iPhoto, the unpopulated iPhoto screen (no images shown) appears then seems to time out and quit. *I have a LaCie storage disk with pretty recent saves, including the iPhoto and its library.* But, when I tried to transfer that latest iPhoto copy to the iMac, it would not seem to work. Anyone have useful ideas for me?

I've corrected one problem and generated another, I'm afraid. I could not seem to load the iPhoto files, even though the screen said it was loading. So, I followed a suggestion found on this forum to restart iPhoto and create a new photo library first, then drag the older photo library folder into that newer folder. It did not specify whether I should select all folder contents, copy, and drag into that new folder or merely to drag the old iPhoto Library folder inside the new one. I chose the latter. Once that happened, iPhoto restarted nicely but spent hours repairing the photo library. It seems to have corrected several image date problems I'd always noted, but now I'm left with the dilemma of deciding which photo library to use. I no longer have the albums within the iPhoto displays when I open iPhoto; and all images show they were made and imported today. In the previous process, another photo library emerged with a "-1" appended to it. Its contents seem to be correct, but when I specify for iPhoto to use that new photo library_1, the iPhoto contents appear to be empty. At this moment, I'm reloading the newest iPhoto Library-new using the select-all, copy, and drag the contents into it to see whether my albums will appear this time. Before I restart or do anything else which might jeopardize success, any suggestions?

ITunes 11.1.1 won't open even after OS update. Is there something ELSE I'm missing?

After I updated my iTunes to 11.1.1, it wouldn't open. I found something on these forums that had a link to an OS update to fix the problem. Downloading and installing the OS update took nearly 24 hours, and iTunes still won't open. Is there something else I'm missing?

first of all you want to back up all music files before you uninstall itunes. if mavericks wont let you uninstall itunes then right click on itunes in your applications folder, then get info, then go to the bottom and change all permissions to read and write. then close and try to uninstall and reinstall. if that doesnt work then this does :
open apps, go to utilities, open terminal and cut and paste or type in these 3 commands, hitting return after each one.
(first type) killall iTunes
(then hit return)
(then type) killall "iTunes Helper"
(then hit return)
(then type) sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
(and hit return)
after the last one you will be warned and asked to enter your password. do it.
once completed you will see on your itunes icon with a ? shadow inside it.
drag it off the dock and it goes poof.
then download itunes from apple.
if they wont let you download 11.1.5 itunes then use 10.7 Download it from Apple here.
and then install and upgrade to 11.1.5 from there. this is the method i used when my itunes just bounced after installing mavericks. it takes only minutes and your itunes will be as right as rain. enjoy.

Itunes won't open, even after reintallation

itunes just quit working. I uninstalled, shut down the PC, then reinstalled. It all looks good during installation...the wizard works fine, but when you try to launch you get nothing. It won't open from the shortcut on the desktop, or the program list. I don't seem to have any problems with any of the other programs on the PC...just itunes. I've googled the problem and tried those suggestions. Thanks for any help.

Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)
Then I uninstalled iTunes & Quicktime
Restarted Machine
Reinstalled iTunes (which reinstalls Quicktime as well)
Opend iTunes to make sure it worked (it did), then closed it.
Copied all of the original files back over to their original locations.
Restarted iTunes
Everything appears to be back to normal (iPhone sync works properly as well)
Hope this helps for anyone else seeking an answer!

Adobe reader won't open, even after re-download

adobe reader won't open because of error - NEED PDF READER NOW!!!!!!!!!

The reason is Adobe has not updated there software yet to play well with Mavericks. The fault is of course with the Adobe Software. I suggest you go to there web site and see if they have a fix yet for there software, If not all you can do is continue to check back with them or get on there fourms and see what others have to say about this same issue.

PLEASE HELP!!
I am so frustrated and about to just give up and deal with the fact I won't have iTunes again

Hi Kacey,
I suspect that somewhere in all of this your iTunes library database got removed. Here is my usual approach...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (inside your main iTunes folder) should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
If I've misunderstood the situation please provide more details and I will do my best to help.

ITunes won't open, even after complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes/Qktime

Hello
This morning iTunes started refusing to open. When opened it bounces twice and then closes.
Strange, because I didn;t just update. It worked fine after my last update and up until the present. I'm not sure but it could have started happening after I plugged in my iPod Touch 16gb 2.0. I did that sometime this morning.
I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of both Itunes and Quicktime, and I also uninstalled Flip to Mac as I read here it could be related. Restarted my computer many times. Now, same problem, iTunes won't start.
I live in noisy Barcelona and i'm going crazy without tunes...

Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)
Then I uninstalled iTunes & Quicktime
Restarted Machine
Reinstalled iTunes (which reinstalls Quicktime as well)
Opend iTunes to make sure it worked (it did), then closed it.
Copied all of the original files back over to their original locations.
Restarted iTunes
Everything appears to be back to normal (iPhone sync works properly as well)
Hope this helps for anyone else seeking an answer!

I am at my wits end with iPhoto error messages and inability to reload it. It has worked fine until yesterday when I started getting the library not loaded error message. I deleted the app, removed the pkg files from HD/Library/Receipts and reloaded the app from my iLife CD as suggested. I have done this 6 times without success and continue to receive the same error message. During reinstall it runs for a long time saying loading packages. After reload there are no new pkg files in teh HD/Library/Receipts location. I do not know what to do next . . . I am open to any assistance.

You need to reinstall:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
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 or later 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.
*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.

Previously running CS4 won't open, even after script clean and reinstall

I can't get in!....
Seems like a license issue.
After trying all (7) of the fixes in kb405970 recommended by Adobe tech support, I was unable to get access to my previously working CS4 Production Suite products. I removed the entire program and ran CS4 Clean Script for Macintosh, then reinstalled Production Suite.
Now, when I try to get into any of the products, i get a registration screen that accepts my VALID and REGISTERED (from the Adobe Registration site) CS4 Prod Suite serial number, and NOTHING happens. No programs open.I can't get any response from Adobe tech support for the last 10 days. Case has been open since October 18. I'm just diving into asking for help in a forum.
HELP! Please

I had this problem yesterday, actually. You can solve it, but you will lose all firefox data you didn't back up. Then again, because you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I assume this isn't an issue.
Assuming you've installed windows on the C drive:
Go to C://Users/yourname/AppData
If you cant find it, go to your display settings (I hope I translated this correct; I use the Dutch version of Windows) and make sure that hidden files and filders are not being... well, hidden. Shocking plottwist, I know.
If all goes well, you should now see three folders named Local, Localrow and Roaming.
Now go to Roaming > Mozilla > Firefox and delete everything thats in there. Now you have an empty FireFox folder, which will force Firefox to start up as if it was never installed before.
Done! :)
P.S. Now that you have a fresh new install, save yourself a lot of future pain and install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync Xmarks] for your bookmarks and [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager LastPass] for your passwords. These add-ons will keep your data safely on their servers, where it is yours to backup and download anywhere in the world.
Also, if you have about three milion add-ons and personas/themes and you don't want to hunt hem down again everytime you reïnstall Windows or buy a new system, get [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/febe FEBE] to save a copy of them for you. And if you really want to backup like a pro, install [https://www.dropbox.com/ DropBox] (not an addon) and tell FEBE to store its files there, so you can still retrieve them if your house happens to burn down.

Firefox states it is already running yet won't open even after I uninstalled and reinstalled

Hi,
I was having problems with Mozilla when I'd go to Facebook it would show the page but within seconds I would get check6 (can't remember the rest) error page.
So I went to help, restart Firefox. It was at this for about an hour and I knew there was a problem so chose to end process in task manager.
Since then I haven't been able to open Firefox:
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system".
I uninstalled Firefox using Revo Uninstaller and deleted all leftover files, restarted my computer and installed Firefox, but the problem still remains.
I tried looking through previous questions and noticed I do no have a profile folder which may be needed to delete a lock file....
Any help much appreciated! thanks
