Library won't open after ML upgrade

My iPhoto library won't open. I click on the icon, and it will try to start iphoto, and will say that it unexpectedly quit a couple of times. Then it will finally pull up a balloon= asking me if i want to open the windows that were open when it crashed. Wither way, THe library won't show up, adn when I tell it to change to my iPhoto library, it does nothing. This started happenning as soon as I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have run system update, and am running the latest version of all my software.
Please help.

I had a similar problem, after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my (2008) MBP with iPhote form iLife'09 on it, it said it couldn't open the database because changes had been made to it with a newer version of iPhoto (?). After trying lots of things, like restoring the library from Time Machine again (first time I used the migration assistant), I finally found my solution: upgrade iPhoto to 8.1 first, using
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL885
Mystically, at first my MBP didn't want to run the update, said the developer was not to be trusted (???), I had to change my security settings temporarily to make it run software 'from any source', but that did the trick. I can now use my old iPhoto from iLife'09 again. Hope it helps for you as well.

  • Aperture library won't open after using new iphoto

    My Aperture library won't open after accidently using iphoto to view it. It says Aperture is outdated but I run 3.4.5 version which is the last.
    Now I CAN'T DO MY WORK thanks to this lunacy.
    Anyone any suggestions how to fix this ****?

    Also one more thing
    On the MacBook Air - Where aperture is working fine and loading the library, i tried to change the name of the library and then when I tried to open it it shouted with the error ""Error Opening Library--The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again""
    But when I changed the name back it was working fine again on the MacBook AIr
    Should i be worried that when i look at the get info on my library it says it's an aperture library 3.5.1 ?

  • IMessages won't open after Mavericks upgrade

    iMessages won't open after I upgraded to Mavericks. I keep getting prompted to "enter the keychain password," but I never created a keychain. I never used it before the upgrade, and I skipped the step during the upgrade because I did not want to use keychain and it was an option to skip it during set up.

    HI,
    The OS X Mac have been using Keychains for a long time.
    In the Applications/Utilities folder open Keychain Access.
    This should show you at least two keychains.
    The Login one for your Mac User account and the System one.
    Generally speaking the Keychain keeps the passwords used by various apps and it needs to be Open.
    In most cases the Login password for the Mac Account user is also the password that opens the Keychian when the computer is started up.
    As each Mac User Account owns it's own Keychain there can be issues when you drag an account from one computer to another rather than using Migration Assistant.
    i.e. you might Own it on one computer but not on another.
    In the Finder > Go Menu hold down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
    In the library navigate to Keychains.
    Click to highlight the Login one.
    Now use the CMD and i keys together (Get Info)
    At the Bottom unlock the padlock
    Highlight the name that has (me) next to it (it should be your Shortname).
    Once you have highlighted this use the cogwheel item at the bottom.
    This should be greyed out but saying "Make you (Me) the Owner."
    You should also have Read and Write permissions like in the Pic.

    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • 3.4.2 Aperture library won't open after 3.4.3 update

    I have two libraries...the old (archive) library updated with the 3.4.3 update, but my new primary in another location did not. Now when I try to open the new library (3.4.2) I get a message stating that I need:
    "To import this iPhoto library in Aperture, it first needs to be upgraded. Verify that you have iPhoto 9.4 or later. Then open the library in iPhoto to upgrade it."
    I dont have 9.4 and cannot figure this out...
    Please help!

    Léonie,
    After it started working again, the library will not open despite being upgraded to version 3.4.3.
    Its giving me the same error message:

  • My iTunes won't open after partial upgrade.

    Hello, I recently tried to download the latest version of Itunes but got a message during the middle of download saying I didn't have enough memory to complete it. I immediately hit cancel and now my Itunes won't open! Everytime I try to open it I get a message saying, "A required Itunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall Quick Time." I removed some programs to free up some space. I reinstalled Quick Time but I'm still getting the same message. I found my library under My Music, iTunes, iTunes Music, but how can i get it to open. Can someone help, please?

    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.

  • ITunes won't open after installing upgrade and restarting

    When I click on my iTunes icon in the dock, iTunes won't open. Instead, a message box comes up: "The file iTunes "library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
    Just before this happened, I imported a lot of music into my library. Now iTunes only opens if I pIug my ipod into my Mac.
    Is there any way I can get iTunes to open by clicking on the icon, as it used to do?

    What version of iTunes is installed in the Apple default location ..... /Applications/iTunes ???
    Drag the iTunes icon in the Dock to the Desktop and release; it will be deleted with a poof! Don't worry it's only an alias.
    In your Home Page ~/Library/Preferences/ ......... drag to the Trash and delete:
    com.apple.iTunes.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    (don't worry ... new ones will be created upon relaunch of iTunes .... +see below+)
    Using: /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions
    RESTART the computer
    Within the Applicatons folder: double-click the iTunes icon ... if the launch is successful, drag a copy of the iTunes icon to the Dock ... release ... you will now have a current alias in the Dock.
    P.S. *Do Not* have the iPod connected to the computer during this process!

  • Itunes won't open after software upgrade

    I just upgraded itunes form version 4.x to version 6. on my girlfriends windows laptop.
    Now itunes won't open past the licence agreement.
    Actually itunes quits before i can agree to the licence agreement.
    I looked at this article. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
    this didn't resolve the issue.
    When itunes quits there are no error messages.
    Any ideas
    Thanks

    hi Matthew!
    Actually itunes quits before i can agree to the licence agreement.
    are you getting absolutely no error messages whatsover? are you seeing similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?
    if so, check for a Qoologic adware infestation on your PC. the free trial version of Ewido has been catching and killing that for most folks:

  • AppleWorks won't open after SL upgrade.

    I installed Snow Leopard recently and have just discovered that I can not open my AppleWorks files! I get error-#1700. I then tried opening the AppleWorks application and it won't open at all. Is there a solution to this problem? I have not found one yet. BTW, I am running 6.2.9.
    I am pretty sure I installed Rosetta. Is there a way to check that?
    Some files will open, many others will not.

    Interesting. Dale says AppleWorks isn't supported in SL, but you're running it fine. Not sure where to go with the info you supplied me regarding the error message. I think Rosetta must be installed, because I have not been asked to install it.
    Rosetta in SL isn't automatically installed. Unless you did a custom install to begin with, and included it then, or you've already run something one time and already triggered the install, it's not there yet. Again, if not and if needed, the system will react, so either way you're covered.
    To see if Rosetta is installed, use the Finder menu 'Go/Go To Folder...' and use this string/path:
    /usr/libexec/oah
    Study the window that opens...if there is an object there with the name of 'translate', Rosetta is already installed.
    Caution^^Close that window when done and do not make any changes there!
    Another slightly less intrusive method is to simply poke around your applications, locating an older app, then doing a get info...note if 'Kind:' is 'Application (PowerPC)' ...find one that is and run it. If the prompt to install doesn't pop up, then you are good to go.

  • Photo library won't open after iOS 5 update

    I updated both my iPod Touch and iPhone 4 to the new iOS 5.0 right after it was released. I initially noticed that my library of photos would not fully sync to both products but I remedied that by manually clicking each photo album I have available via iTunes. Now I'm noticing that when I try to open my Photo Library in either the iPod or iPhone, it takes noticable time to do so. I have a little over 16,000 pictures on each one.
    In addition, once i applied the updates, I found that certain album art from my iTunes music would not display on either the iPod or iPhone. However, the album art is showing inside iTunes. Incidentally, this seems to only affect albums that have duplicate songs from the same album.
    Any thoughts or ideas ?

    Have you tried closing the Phot Booth app completelyand seeing if it works when you re-open it  ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Photo Booth '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 the Photo Booth app to close it, 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.
