IPhoto won't work after downloading OS X Yosemite

I downloaded the OS X Yosemite when my computer told me that it was available.  Now, when I try to open iPhoto, it tells me that first it needs to be prepared.  I've followed the steps time and time again on downloading the iPhoto and it tells me that it was downloaded successfully but still will not open.  I've tried restarting my computer, re-downloading.  Any help woul

What version of iPhoto did you have prior to upgrading to Yosemite?  If it was iPhoto 7 (08) then you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before iPhoto 9.6 can open it.  You did upgrade to iPhoto 9.6, right?
If you've already done the above try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • IPhoto won't work after installing iLife '11

    I installed iLife on both my work computer which is a '11 iMac and my personal computer is a '12 MacBook Pro. After installing I can't run iPhoto on either computer? When I try to open it on my computer it gives me a window that says "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." I've tried running updates and looking on forums that suggest 9.1 update but it will not allow me to upload it, it says I need a previous version? I'm not sure what is going on but it is very frustrating

    Open Finder, go to Applications folder, delete iPhoto and reinstall it again. Finally, open  > Software Update and update iPhoto until you have iPhoto 9.4.1

  • Iphoto won't open after downloading OSX 10.9.4

    Dowloaded OSX 10.9.4 yesterday and now I can't access all my photos in IPhoto. Help!!!!

    It just finished and I now have to update the library. It looks like it is going to work. Thanks so much for getting back to me quickly! I was very worried that I may lose my gazillions of pictures. I'm not that computer savvy most times. Thanks again!

  • IPod Shuffle won't work after downloading iTunes 7

    Help!
    I downloaded iTunes 7 and it told me my Shuffle was corrupted (even though it worked perfectly fine in iTunes 6 five minutes before). It prompted me to "restore", which I did, only to get another error message saying that it can't be restored (error 1418). Now I think my Shuffle it totally shot (not recognized by Windows either) and I can't get it to work at all.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    it comes up momentary... then shows a message... "Updating iTunes library"... then locks up.
    that is typically caused by a problem with one of your content files.
    tracking down which file(s) are causing the issue can be a pain. but you could try the "Check for content files with issues" section from the following document:

  • Youtube HD won't work after downloading the latest version of Flashplayer (11.9.900.117)

    I have a windows Vista, system: 32 bit, and I downloaded the latest version of adobe flash player (11.9.900.117)
    But since I did this I can no longer watch youtube vids on HD with internet explorer.
    They open with a low quality like 360 and when I want to put them on HD the vid just stops working, however if I go to watch on google chrome it will work normal, why is this?

    Chrome has its own Flash Player Plugin ("PepperFlash"). It works independent of the ActiveX Flash Player Plugin in IE.
    See:ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to make sure that ActiveX controls aren't blocking ANY feature that Flash Player can access.
    If that fails, I'd recommend moving to Firefox, as Chrome is an extreme rexource hog and will eventually grind your system to a halt if you get enough tabs open.

  • IPhoto won't work after upgrading

    I just recently upgraded iPhoto and now it won't let me open it. When I try to open it, I get a pop up box saying
    "You can't use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mac OS X 10.7.4. The application requires Mac OS X 10.7.5 or later"
    I had checked on my computer if there were any system updates and I saw none. Please help?

  • My iphoto will not work after downloading iphoto library upgrader.

    I have a new macbook and just tried to use iphoto and it told me I had to download the iphoto library upgrader or quit. I downloaded it but still can not open iphoto.

    You have to download and RUN the iPhoto library upgrader - if and only if your old version of iPhoto is iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x or earlier) - and as always backup your iPhoto library prior to any update or upgrade in case of problems

  • Downloading new photos - iPhoto doesn't work after upgrading to Yosemite

    Hello,
    Since I upgraded to Yosemite, iPhoto has stooped working after downloading photos from my Sd card.
    Some picutres downloaded are black while some others are ok, but in any case I have to restart my iMac because every apps running can't be used anymore.
    That happens only with iPhoto, after downloading, instead normally it works.
    Now I use Aperture and everything is fine but I'd like to figure out why iPhoto acts like that.
    Do I have to trash it?
    Thank you.
    Fabrizio

    There have been a number of reports on here from folks with Raw issues after updating.
    This thread:
    RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
    explains how to delete and reinstall Raw support. It has worked for others.

  • IPhoto and Apple ID won't work after system update

    I've recently updated my MacBook Air to OS X v10.9.4.  iPhoto won't work as i am currently using v9.2.  I've tried downloading a later version but have been advised that my Apple ID will not work on this computer.  NB.  I have an iPhone but have not used the Apple ID on this - to my knowledge, or another Apple ID on my system.  I'm a basic level user so any advice on this would be great.
    Many thanks,

    Open Activity Monitor by searching it in spotlight.
    Go to the app that you downloaded & quit it. If it won't quit then Force Quit.

  • Flash won't install after downloading...early 2013 MBP/Retina, 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram, 3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor (clean installation)

    Flash Player won’t install after downloading
    On the first attempt to install v14, Flash Player v13 was installed and working fine.
    I opened the installation package for the new Flash Player, followed standard protocol for installing Mac software and it hung before retrieving anything.
    Subsequently, while watching the beach ball spin, I got an error message that the installer could not retrieve the v13 Flash Player software.
    So I uninstalled Flash Player 13 and again attempted to install v14, only to see the spinning beach ball followed by a message that the installer could not retrieve the v14 Flash Player software.
    I am running OS X v10.9.4 on an early 2013 MBP/Retina display with 3GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram.
    If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding my issue, please let me know.
    Sincerely.

    Try un-installing and then re-installing via the web site.
