Library Upgrade in Progress (9 hours later)
I have about 80k files in my library. How long did it take you guys to upgrade your libraries?
I did my 9000 files and didn't like the result. I had several shoots in the format, and it collapsed them so there was no longer a hierarchy, they all appeared at the root level. I just started all over, what a waste of time.

Library Upgrade in Progress...
I upgraded from Beta 4 to LR 1 and was not really intimidated when LR told me that this might take "a few minutes".
Twelve hours later, with LR using up 2/3 of my RAM and up to 98 of my CPU, I stopped this via the task manager.
I then rebooted my PC and tried to open Lightroom again. Now "Library upgrade is in progress" again...
This was about 8 hours ago.
Admittedly, the photographs indexed (many are high resolution scans of slides) take about a terabyte disk storage, but the database itself should be much smaller.
Anything, I can do to speed up the process?
Or will the new lightroom just not run on my system?
LaurenzOK, I just returned to my PC after a good night's sleep.
Library Upgrade is still "in Progress", about 1 % of the progress bar is blue.
To me this looks as though LR was really having a problem with the library Beta 4 created.
If there is no other way then re-importing everything, I'd even do that, but there's no way I could do anything like this from within the application (as it won't open).
Is there anyway, I could do this from outside?
One thing: I did not install Lightroom at the default location - I have a special drive for all programmes and used the option to install it there.
Worked fine with beta 4 - might this be part of the problem, or is it just the number of pictures referenced? -
Library upgrade going on 18 hours
Beta 4 was unusable to me, probably because I had 50K images. Fine. So I used Beta 3 until it expired, and waited until V1 came out. Then I upgraded to Beta 4, backed it up, and planned to start a new library for V1, plus transfer my Beta 4 data for use as another library for whenever I needed to go back to old work.
But immediately upon opening V1, it began upgrading my library, and this has been going on for almost 18 hours now. I want to use this *******' program, but I don't know if I should stop the library upgrade (or indeed if it is still "upgrading" or is, in fact, stalled).
The progress bar doesn't seem to be advancing, but it might be going just very, very slow.
Any way to find out if things are still happening, or if it is stalled?
Has anyone had a library upgrade that took THIS LONG??
DanWhen you say "let them write out", what do you mean? I checked the XMP box in prefs, waited a short bit, then closed Beta 4, making a new backup. Just not sure if I was supposed to wait longer for it to do something.
Do I have to select everything, then export XMP sidecars from the Photo Menu. And where do those reside?
I read something that if all I have are TIFFS, JPEGS, and PSDs, then I automatically have a sidecar saved. Is that true? What about Canon RAWS?
Thanks so much.

Library upgrade in progress ..... zzzzz
Don't know about anyone else's experience yet, but the first thing LR does is upgrade your old library. Right now, I am well into my second hour of waiting, so get ready for a long evening.
I'm on a MAC G5 QUAD with 4GB of ram. My library has close to 40,000 images. What's frustrating is that the progress bar hasn't moved in a very long time, but the library journal file is getting bigger so it must be doing something.
Not a very informative message perhaps, but it gave me something to do other than watching that little blue bar!The frustrating thing is there is no way to tell if it has crashed. The bar jumped up in a series of rapid moves about an hour ago for me, so after sitting at the 40% mark it has now been at the 85% mark that time. I now see in the Finder (Mac OS X 10.4.8 ) that the library file has not be modified since that time; does this mean it has crashed, or just that it is doing something else? Who knows.

Tried to use Iphoto and was told I needed upgrade. Try to install upgrade . Upgrade should take an hour if photo library is large. It's now close to three hours and still upgrading. Can't use Iphoto and don't want to stop if still upgrading...3hours??
You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Why is my iPhoto 9.5.1 blocked?
Message on pop up screen says I need the Library Upgrader tool, when in the very discription of it: "If your library is from iPhoto (v8.x) or later, you don't need to use this tool."What version of iPhoto did you have prior to upgrading to iPhoto 9.5.1? The following is from this download page: iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1
This tool prepares libraries from iPhoto 7 or earlier so they can be upgraded with the current version of iPhoto.
So if you previous version of iPhoto was 7 or earlier you need to download (it installs in the Applications/Utilities folder), launch and apply it to your iPhoto Library before opening the library with iPhoto 9.5.1.

D/L the creative cloud upgrades fro LR 2015, PS cc and Bridge and came back a 1/2 hour later and CC indicated the d/l was complete. When I click to start LR 2015 nothing happens. I cannot get LR or PS started. Previous versions start.

2.5 hours later and iphone is still backing up? trying to upgrade to 3.0
Hello - I have tried 3 times today to install iPhone OS 3.0, this last time was the longest I gave the attempt and 2.5 hours later the backup process (before 3.0 is even installed) has been going for 2.5 hours and the status bar is only at 30% done...I have been having a problem backing up, but not with syncing, since iTunes 8.2...what is wrong here? How can I fix this?
3.0 downloaded quickly, extracted quickly, but I cannot get past the initial back up before 3.0 can even be installed on my phone!I back up at least once a month but I have done some research and the things that typically slow that down are not the case for me (tons of apps, tons of photos...i have maybe 10 apps and 10 photos on my phone right now)...2.5 hours spent and only 30% of the way backed up is crazy though...

I'll try to be as detailed as I can:
I have a mid-2010 iMac. I backed-up and then wiped my Mountain Lion hard drive so that I could have a clean install of Mavericks. I am now in the process of importing my backed-up files, like iTunes and documents, from my external back-up to my new Mavericks machine. Everything in this process has worked so far. I moved the iPhoto library over from the external back-up to the proper location (Users->Pictures->iPhoto Library). Two hours later when the transfer was complete, rather than having a normol iPhoto Library icon (stack of pictures with a photo of a flower), the library appeared as a folder with a half done progress bar and an "x" close button in the corner.
This library would not open so I deleted it and started the whole thing over. Two hours later, same thing. I then restarted my machine and got a regularl looking iPhoto Library icon, but now when I try to open it I get a prompt that says "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first nees to be prepared: to prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader avaliable from Apple." I downloaded the iPhoto Library Upgrader from Apple, ran it, and it says that the library has been updated and can now be used. But when I try to open iPhoto, I hit the same problem, iPhoto doesn't open and I instead get a prompt saying that the library needs to be prepared.
One more thing, when I run the iPhoto Library Upgrader, there is a un-progressing progress bar (a sideways barber shop poll) that says the program is building thumbnails, but then Upgrader gives me a prompt that the library has been upgraded (even though the progress bar is still cranking along). PLEASE HELP.What version of iPhoto were you running prior to Mavericks? First boot into Revovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and repair the disk and disk permissions. Then reboot back into Mavericks.
Two hours later when the transfer was complete, rather than having a normol iPhoto Library icon (stack of pictures with a photo of a flower), the library appeared as a folder with a half done progress bar and an "x" close button in the corner.
There was a problem with copying the older iPhoto library from the backup. Delete the library and drag it once again from the backup drive to the Pictures folder. Run the upgrader again. Is this what you see when your first launch the upgrader?

I've cleared almost 30 gig off of my hard drive in the past 2 weeks, and it will temporarily show that in the Get Info box. But hours later, I am still getting a disk full error and all of the memory has disappeared. I have cleared my backup logs from Time Machine, checked the mail folder, cleaned out tons of photos and videos and it still keeps filling back up.
In checking the log files, here is the message repeated over and over....

Any ideas on what to do next?
I'm running and iMac 20-inch early 2009
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)Step 1
Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
Step 2
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash as well:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal. -

Can't open iPhoto after using iPhoto library upgrader
I used the iPhoto library upgrader today, hoping that I could then use a newer version of iPhoto. I have iPhoto 6.6 I think. But now iPhoto won't open, so I can't see any of my photos. Where can I download a newer version of iPhoto so I will be able to see my photos again? My iMac is running OS X 10.7.5 and cannot be upgraded to a newer operating system as it is a late 2006 iMac. Please help, I am so upset at losing all my family photos I can barely type this.
1. Make a back up first thing.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
2. If you have iPhoto 6 why are you using the upgrader? -
I've tried to open my iPhoto and a message box opens up and reads "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple." I update this and this message continues to pop up. I've even tried to rebuild it, but no matter what I do the same message appears and iPhoto still wpn't open. Can somebody please help me?!
i'm having the same problem with my iMac (Mac OS X 10.7.5) . i haven't really made any updates to it and yesterday when i tried to access the iPhoto library of my MBP (from my iMac) is when problems started. The iPhoto on the iMac initially said I need to install the recent version of the iPhoto. Since I can't find a 9.0 download, I went to buy the iPhoto on the App store.
When I tried to install iPhoto (version 9.4.3) to the iMac, I got this message:
The iPhoto Library Upgrader is a tool that prepares libraries from iPhoto 5 or earlier, so you can upgrade them with the current version of iPhoto. You can download the tool here.
Note: If your library is from iPhoto 6 or later, this tool is not required."
I then installed the iPhone Library Upgrader, but I got the same prompt:
'You can't open your current photo library using this version of the iPhoto. You have made changes to your library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
I guess this takes me back to square one? I am inclined to buy the iLife on eBay with the iPhoto 9.0 version, but needed to know if this is the case before I unfortunately bite the bullet. -
The iPhoto Library Upgrader tool doesn't work. I've downloaded it, and follow the directions, but iPhoto still won't open.
Your Library is damaged.
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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.
As for goign back: do you have an undamaged library?

Library upgrade Question - To reprocess or not to reprocess
so after the library upgrade finally goes through, and the images are adjusted to be used with the new sets of brushes and presets, Is it really necessary to reprocess masters? This is what destroyed my library two days ago and caused me to have to do this 10 hour process all over...I selected all photos in my 70,000+ image library and selected reprocess...
is there a noticeable difference in the RAW tuning between 2.1.4 and 3.0?There is a beneficial difference (especially with 5d2 and 7d files), but for me it is not necessary to do on old images.
Only images I am working with now, or plan to re-export in the future will get reprocessed. I was happy with the old ones when I finished those projects.
