IPhoto won't open since last update V9.5.1

My iPhoto won't open since the latest update (V9.5.1) was installed. I do not get any error message, the icon bounces a couple times and then nothing happens. I've tried the following solutions found in other forums:
-Using "iPhoto Library Manager" to rebuild library and repair iPhoto, did not work because "iPhoto failed to open"
-Removing the file iPhotoLock.data from Finder>Pictures>Right Click iPhoto Library>Show Package Contents, this also did nothing.
I can't find any other solution and I'm worried that I may lose my pictures (over 20GB of pics).
Is someone else having similar issues?

You don't always have a good current backup? Without one you are 100% guarenteed to lose everything including your photos sooner or later - things do fail - Time Machine is included on yur Mac - use it - you eed a large external hard drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - once set up it is automatic and will save you when things go South
For now all you need is a copy of the iPhoto library
I stated in my original message that I have the most current version of iPhoto, iPhoto '11 V9.5.1. Is there a way to reverse the update because I had no problems with it until the update was done automatically.
Yes - but since things are not wroking ti is important to verify facts - not work on assumptions
No - you can not "undo the update" easily but you can fix things

My iTunes won't open after last update. Can anybody help me?

I had similar problem this time and last time when I upgrade/update iTune, and subsequently solved the problem through the help of this person. You may give it a try and see if this works for you. It works for me now and then. Good luck.

IPhoto won't open after iLife update

iPhoto won't open after iLife update. How get iPhoto to funtion again?

What version of iPhoto? What happens when you try?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

IPhoto won't open since Snow Leopard upgrade

Hi,
Since upgrading to snow leopard iPhoto won't open, it just crashes instantly. I ahve tried reinstalling with no luck.
Can anybody help with this?
Thanks in advance,
Dan.

i just bought a new MBP 13'' 2.53 Ghz 4Gb Ram 250GB HD... i tried moving my iPhoto library from my powerbook g4 1.67 machine that was running 10.4.11 (via a Lacie external)
once i moved this and opened iPhoto (on my new MBp running 10.6.1 - SNOW LEOPARD) it instantly asks me to upgrade the library (saying that the old library needs upgrading for this version), so i click upgrade, and then 2 seconds later it says that the library is corrupt and damaged and i must install from a back up...
I deleted iPhoto then emptied trash after clearing up some space on the external, meaning i lost iPhoto applicaton - IDIOT I KNOW - so i download iPhoto 8.1 and the library upgrade and error / damaged library message appeared again...
I have now, (as i type this right now) re-installed snow leopard from the snow leopard disk that came in the MBP box (i have had it like 2 weeks, thats it, it shipped with leopard and i am having to install SNOW LEOPARD, for the 2nd time) to get iPhoto back)... will this give me iPhoto back, or do i have to re-install from the LEOPARD OS disks that were sent in the MBP box, the OS that it shipped with?
i am very annoyed that it seems that my iPhoto library from a 3.75year old machine cant be on my new machine unless i re-add each PBG4Tiger10.4.11 individual library folder thru the interface of iPhoto on my new machine... (if indeed it will ever open)...
PLEASE HELP !

Apps won't open since iOS update-why?

First time I tried to open apps since the update, and the screen just kind of flashes for a second and nothing happens. Has this happened to anyone? I can open all the apps that showed up with the update, but none of the others.

If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Iphoto won't open after latest update

Just upgraded to latest iphoto using software update & also latest OS update (10.8.2) & tried to open iphoto & it said that there have been 'inconsistencies in your library' detected & needed to repair library database. It tries to do then then crashes & crashes every time I try to re-open. It tries to repair library but never opens, even after repairing.
Any suggestions please?

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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

Photo window won't open since Leopard update

After I installed the Leopard update June 2 from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3, the next time I clicked on IPhoto, its name showed in the Finder window but the window with my nearly 18,000 photos did not show up. I tried the "Go - Volumes/" suggestion in a previous reply but it didn't work.
I tried importing new photos by inserting the media card which usually opened Iphoto where I could click "import" but although the icon for the card reader shows up on the desktop, Iphoto's window does not.
When I click on the card reader icon where only the most recent UNimported photos exist, a list of Canon folders show. I don't have anything Canon.
Those most recent images show in Cover Flow: the path is Device, DCIM folder, 197Canon folder, image.
Has anyone else had trouble with the Leopard update and Iphoto?
What should I try?

peeno
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Websites are formatted incorrectly and links won't work, since last update

Since I installed the latest updates for firefox certain websites such as : http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ and hotmail , are incorrectly formatted and the links on the pages don't work. I can load my inbox on hotmail but the links to the emails don't work ie. you click on it and nothing happens. On the Escapist many of the links don't match the boxes they should be in, sections of the page are in the wrong place with images not loading, and many of the links don't load the right page, if anything at all.
I've tried to use the report broken website function but this gets stuck on sending report and if you click submit report again it shows the details etc as being blank.
I've tried restoring FF to defaults and also reinstalling it with no success. I know the website are okay as IE loads them correctly.
any help appreciated

Hi Rick,
Interesting thread on Quark's forums. Mark Douma posts here, too. Very knowledgeable with the how fonts work in direct relation to the OS.
I just opened a bunch of OpenType fonts and launched Quark. No problems. But as Mark noted, you'll see the bug pop up after a restart and then try to open the document that uses the OpenType fonts.
However, I created a simple document using a half dozen different OpenType fonts and saved it to the desktop. Going by Mark's assumption about the cache files, I shut down my Mac and turned it back on. Essentially the same as turning it on the next day. Per his thoughts, I left the font cache files alone, activated the fonts again in Suitcase Fusion and launched Quark 6.52 by double clicking the document I had just created. Quark and the document opened without a hitch.
Per Mark's post at Quark's forums, Quark should have crashed since I'm doing this all under 10.4.10. That tells me that while the font cache files are the problem for those who need to keep clearing the cache files to get OpenType fonts to work each day, it's not due to OS 10.4.6+. Since I'm having no issues (and never have), I would have to believe it's more likely to be a damaged OS that's causing the problems. If the OS is damaged, then the likelihood that it will in turn write damaged cache files is high.
Or, Quark is damaged. It writes its own font cache files in the /Applications/QuarkXPress 6.0/jaws/ttfont/ folder. If you cleared only those cache files out and relaunched Quark, it might work without clearing the system cache files. That would tell you for sure that Quark needs to be reinstalled rather than the OS.

IPhoto won't open after Software Update

All, after re-installing my System from the CD, re-updating with Software update to 10.4.11, I can not open iPhoto. No error message, but the dock just bounces and if I try Open from the finder nothing happens.
I tried fixing permissions and rebuilding the disk with Disk Utility.
I tried re-installing iPhoto using Pacifist.
Nada nada nada.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I'd try the Custom Installs from the iLife disk, or whatever disk you have it on... it may need more than what you replaced with Pacifist.

Movies and videos won't play since last update

since the recent update to itunes, my tv shows and movies will not play. as soon as a movie is selected to play, I get this popup with itunes has stopped working-checking for a solution-blahblahblah-closing program. Itunes is exited. have done the quicktime preferences uncheck 3D, have done the safe mode, have done the uninstall and reinstall itunes. nothing works. now, the unchecking 3D will allow the movie to play but at choppy audio and video, not enjoyable at all. i'm using my desktop for this (windows vista64 bit). Apple will allow not phone support for itunes and got the usual "oh, we're not aware of this problem", yet google it and you see it's pretty common. before the recent update (sep 2012), itunes worked fine. help please.

Pages won't open since downloading updates

Today I downloaded updates to Pages and iOS to my iPad Mini. Pages then stopped working. It looks like it will open, I can see the screen with the documents for half a second, then it disappears. It is there in the background if double click the home button, but disappears when I try to touch the screen. I have done a restart by holding home and on buttons. I am thinking of deleting the app and trying to reinstall but I know I will lose my documents. I have seen a few similar complaints including in the reviews for the app. It would be good if Apple issued a fix. Anyone else found a fix? Thanks.
Pages 2.5.1
ios 8.1.2 maybe - not sure as it doesn't say clearly which is the operating system, it just says 'version'

Oy, Sorry to hear that. We actually received another update with a new version of the app and that reverted to the older version . There must have been a glitch. Good luck

Mail won't open since upgrade/updates

I installed Leopard today. Was having problems with Mail crashing before it even started up, so I updated to 10.5.1. Now, when I try to open Mail, I get the message "You cannot use the application "Mail" with this version of Mac OS X." Whassup? I thought Mail 3.1 was part of 10.5.1?! I've tried moving the Library/Mail/Envelope Index doc to the desktop and also tried moving Library/Mail/LSMMap2 to the desktop and restarting Mail. Even tried moving both docs to the desktop. Still not working! Any suggestions?

Can you run mail from a different account? just create an account and see if it works.
Also, what kind of e-mail account do you have? do you keep copies of your messages on the mail server? If so you might just want to trash the entire /Users/user/Library/Mail folder (or at least move it to the desktop) and recreate your mail account. This is a bit painful because you'll have to redownload all your messages but it should cure all your ills. If even this doesn't help, trash the file com.apple.Mail.plist which sits in Users/user/Library/Preferences.
Nuking this file will completely reset Mail for your user account.
