IPhoto won't start up after archive & install

Hi all.
Recently I had to perform an archive & install after the System>Library>System Resources folder got trashed. I did this as it sometimes gets corrupted and cause the iMac to constantly wake from sleep. Previously the folder always restored itself, but not this last time. See this old thread for more details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2233465&start=30&tstart=0
My wife actually did the archive & install. We had been running Mac OS X 10.6.3, reverted back to 10.5.6 and then I upgraded back to 10.6 (the iMac came with both OSes) and then downloaded the combi update to 10.6.3 again.
Well now when I try to launch iPhoto I get the following error report:

It looks like something is missing. Any ideas as to how to fix this?
Also we now seem to have doubles of many Apple apps, originals that were saved from before the archive & install and new ones from reinstalling the OS. Perhaps this is related to the problems? The other apps I have tried so far seem OK though.
Any help much appreciated.

You need to re-install iPhoto as it is missing that iLife Slideshow component.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
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.

    You need to reinstall as iPhoto is missing bits of itself.
    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.

  • G5 won't start up after RAM installed

    I added 2 512meg Kingston RAM to the computer on Thursday. No issues, worked fine on Friday, and this morning. (I will have turned the computer on and off several times over the three days).
    Whilst running Nikon Coolsan V and cleaning up the finder, the computer froze. After a few minutes I did a restart by holding start button.
    Computer will not restart. The computer will not start with the Tiger CD or in Target mode.
    I reset SMU, no change.
    I removed the new RAM, reset SMU again, computer still will not start up.
    Attempted to reset PRAM, but nothing happened, and computer did not restart.
    The computer powers up, makes start up noise, etc. as per normal for about 5 seconds, and then nothing happens.
    I have also tried removing all the the RAM, and installing again in pairs. No change.
    At this point the computer does not even spin up to the apple screen (which it did the first few times after the crash).
    It has two internal hard drives, both of which should be bootable.
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks

    You need Disk Warrior from Alsoft. Your directory is kaput.
    Pull the data cable, pull the drive. A damaged directory can actually prevent booting from DVDs.
    When a system freezes, don't just assume you can reboot and go back to work.

  • MacBook Pro Won't Start up after leopard Install

    I installed leopard on my MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo. Well at the end during the restarting phase it took forever to restart and my power was running out so not sure if it restarted or batt went dead. After recharging i turned on mac and wont boot up past the apple with dots hovering it. Don't know much about macs so if you could help it would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple boards:
    You installed Leopard on battery power? That's a real big no no. A very risky gamble at best.
    If your battery died during install, you may well have totally hosed the system.
    After recharging i turned on mac and wont boot up past the apple with dots hovering it. Don't know much about macs so if you could help it would be appreciated.
    See if you can boot into the Leopard DVD (hold down "C" on boot) and after the language screen, on the top left will be a menu. Select Utilities, run Disk Utility and repair your HD and permissions.
    See if that gets you somewhere.

  • Iphoto won't load library after lion install

    i did a clean install of lion on a formatted disc, them used migration manager to transfer my files.
    now iphoto will not load the library. any library. i have two backups, both of which i have tried, but i photo just sits spinning it's gear symbol.
    what's my best course of action do you think?

    so i imported one of the backups by dropping it into the iphoto window.
    Never import one Library to another - which you have done. As you can see, it's a mess. Massive duplication, missing metadata, organistion and so on. Simply, importing one Library to another is just not a way to do anything.
    Restoring from back up means simply opening the restored Library.
    As to repairing the others:
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 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. .

    had a new hard drive installed last month. now iphoto won't start up, popup says "you can't open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete". can this be repaired without going to the repair shop?

    What installed iPhoto there in the first place?  Was it the same version of iPhoto that came with the Mac?  Was iLife added at a later time from a Mac Box Set?   You can selectively install iPhoto, and then apply the appropriate iLife update without taking it to the shop, after removing the application, or recover it from your backup.

  • My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

    My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • IPhoto does not start up after upgrading

    On my new iMac iPhoto does not start up after migrating. Upgrade from iPhoto 6/Snow Leopard > Lion 10.7.1 with iPhoto 9.1.5. When the conversion is finished I can see the new library, it works allright. And with packet-inspection (or how is that called in English) all maps & data seems to be OK; I can check the seperate pics.
    But: iPhoto won't start up a second time (grey screen with infinite spinning wait cursor). The same thing is happening when I add a new library and drop in some pictures.
    What can cause this problem?

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 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.

    Hi Patrick,
    Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

    iphoto won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

    Sounds like you have a damaged library7  To check launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a test library. If you can import a few photos.  If that works then your original library is damaged so make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
