Iphoto won't stop 'updating?'

ever since I upgraded to mavericks last week, iPhoto has been 'updating'. It's got the blue icon of the new version, but whenever I try to open the program it says 'iPhoto cannot be opened while updating', but when I go onto launchpad the icon doesn't say anything about updating, whereas iMovie does (I paused it a while ago and I just haven't resumed it). it's not updating, but I can't use it? Why? how do I sort this out?

Reinstall iPhoto. The download may have been incomplete.
Delete iPhoto from the Applications folder
Sign into the AppStore and download it from your Purchases List.
Just a caution: Since this will be the first run of iPhoto after upgrading to 9.5.1, make sure you are having a current backup of your iPhoto library, before you try to open it in the new version. The iPhoto library will need to be upgraded to a new format.

IPhoto won't stop updating. It won't let me look at my pictures....

I even re-purchased the program about a month ago hoping it would help, but it hasn't. It just said"Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." Then it updates until it stops responding. Any ideas out there?

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. .

Maybe the following but your descrption of your problem is not clear.:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Computer won't stop updating - cannot access start screen

When powering down the other night the system began an automatic update. It reached 100% and then sat there doing its thing with a note to not turn the computer off. The next day I found that the computer had shut itself off and when I tried to start it it again gave the message that it was updating and to not turn the computer off. I sat there for 2 hours watching the little balls going 'round and occasionally touching the screen to keep it from turning itself off.
Does anyone know how I stop this and get to my start screen?

My E-mail won't stop updating itself?

Hi, as I said above the E-mail hasn't been able to stop updating itself and it's depleting my battery quicker than usual. I've tried turning off the push option and turned the iPhone off and on several times. It still does the updating on its own. Is this just a bug or is there a problem? Would also appriciate some tips or advise. Thanks in advance.

Change your Fetch schedule to a longer period (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Fetch New Data).

IPhoto won't stop making duplicates!

W T F!
How do I configure iPhoto 11 to stop adding a duplicate photo to my library every time I make an edit in an external editor? This was not the case with the previous iPhoto version - 09. Yes, it is necessary to have that option, but it slows down iphoto, and it wastes space. It is a waste of my time to have to trash a new picture every time I make an edit. I then have to empty iphoto trash...
I WANT IT TURNED OFF! On by default, fine. (But give me a way to turn it OFF, APPLE!!!!!)

See my answer to your duplicate post in the iPhoto '08 forum
The is NO way - asking again- and again - will simply not change the answer
That is not currently a feature of iPhoto and this is not a place to request features - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback is

After upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto won't open, update not allowed

Recently updated to Yosemite and now my iPhoto can't be opened, I tried to update the app from the App Store but it tells me that I am not the original purchaser (I am, I've never had another Apple account).

Recently updated to Yosemite and now my iPhoto can't be opened, I tried to update the app from the App Store but it tells me that I am not the original purchaser (I am, I've never had another Apple account).
The error message is not very appropriate. It essentially means, that the iPhoto that is currently installed on your Mac is not associated with your AppleID. It may suffice to accept iphoto and other iLife applications to your AppleID.
Sign into the App Store with your AppleID (from the Store menu), open the "Purchases" tab and check, if there are any preinstalled apps that need accepting. Then press the "Accept" button.
Now try again to update or reinstall.
If iPhoto does not show on the Purchases tab at all, delete iPhoto from the applications folder (don't empty the Trash), then go to the main tab of the Apple Store (the Featured tab), enter iPhoto in the search field, and install.

IPhoto won't install update and won't allow me to access my photos since I installed the Maverick update

Since I installed the new Maverick update, iPhoto crashes on my Macbook Pro at the final stages of install and I am not able to acces my photos because a widow pop up telling me that iPhoto is being updated but it is not updating. What do I do now?

My iPhoto won't stop importing something that i stopped the import of and accidentally didn't eject before taking it out.

Now all it give me is that the same drive i pulled out is still importing, but it wont let me eject it, stop the import, or close iphoto. Please Help

After doing some research, I found out that I had accidently hid iPhoto after I paused the download. After going into my apple id account and saw my hidden purchases, I found it. Thank you so much helping me though!

Podcast library won't stop updating

Just last Thursday I updated my 5th gen. iPod Touch to 8.0.2 (meanwhile connecting for the first time to my new MacBook Air).
Ever since then, when trying to access my podcasts on the iPod, the spinning wheel comes up and it just says, "Updating library..." I've played around with just about every setting for podcasts on the iPod, I've removed the podcasts and reloaded them, I've backed up and restored the iPod, and still, five days later, it's just "Updating library..."
This is so frustrating. Does anyone have any idea what can be done to get this to stop? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Thanks--that seems to have worked. I was just hoping it wouldn't have to come to that!

Updating iPod Software--Won't Stop 'Updating'

I've recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0. After upgrade, iTunes won't recognize my iPod at all. So I restarted the computer, and simultaneously restarted the iPod. At this point, it recognized the iPod, but said that new software was available for my iPod and that I needed to update. I did, and now a pop up is on my computer reading "Updating 'Ben'". (Ben is the name of my iPod). I've done this 3 times now with the same result.
How can I ensure that iTunes recognizes my iPod each and every time?
IBM T60 Windows XP Pro 30GB iPod Video

Incidently, I too have tried switching from the USB 2.0 hubs in the front to the rear USB's and nothing is happening. I have followed the iPod for Windows software instructions to:
"connect iPod to see if it needs formatting"
when I connect the iPod shuffle the software notices that the "iPod is connected, please wait while the system recognizes the device" and I have even let the program run "waiting for iPod" for HOURS............ and nothing is happening!!

After installing Yosemite, iPhoto won't finish updating.

I just installed Yosemite, then my iPhoto application wouldn't open until I updated the database. So I clicked update and it has been over an hour, but the upgrade can't get beyond 7/8 finished.

I've had the exact same problem. Installing Yosemite on my MacBook Air and the subsequent iPhoto upgrade went smoothing. But on my IMac desktop machine I am experiencing the same issue of the app failing to finish updating the database; I also get about 7/8 and then the spinning beachball. I've restarted the computer and shut it down and then restarted, neither worked. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can't use my phone because it won't stop updating

Something popped out telling me I had to download the new version for my Iphone, you know usual stuff. Fine, started loading (you know when the apple sign shows up and there the loading bar underneath) At a point the bar was full, so the phone shutted down and restarted. But when it started the apple sign was still there with the loading bar who stopped almost half way. The thing is that even if i restart it, it won't go away. And nothing is downloading, apparently, because the bar isnt fufilling. Help me please I can't use my phone !

it's been 12 hours now. I think it just not working loll.

Iphoto will not stop updating libary after it said the old one needs to be updated

I have more than one iPhoto library's but now when I try to open iPhoto it only gets as far as "upgrading library" and nothing else happens
have i lost all my photos? how do I get them back? how do I fix this

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.
