Location of my videos from an older version of iPhoto

I just upgraded my operating system and had to import my old iPhoto library (don't remember which version) to the iPhoto within iLife '11. This import required an update or upgrade that I performed, but now that I'm looking through my Library I cannot locate my videos. They seem to be appearing as jpg images. Where are they?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

If you imported your older iPhoto library into a new, empty iPhoto 11 library that's probably the reason you've lost your video files. To convert an older library to an iPhoto 11 library all you need to do is open that library with iPhoto 11. It will convert it automatically. There's no importing involved.
Do you still have a copy of your older iPhoto Library? If so, move it to the Pictures folder (after moving any library there to the desktop) and then launch iPhoto with the Option key selected. In the next window select that older library and open.

  • I downloaded some photos that were from an older version of iPhoto. i installed the application to upgrade. i opened iphoto,

    I downloaded some photos that were from an older version of iPhoto,I was asked to  install the application to upgrade/. (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.) I clicked ok, & iphoto will  now  not open or close. It continues to search, even when I turn computer off & back on.  Please, HELP???  I NNED my photos!

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

  • Aperture 3 thinks my iPhoto library is from an older version of iPhoto

    I tried to import my iPhoto library, but when I try it says "Importing libraries from versions earlier than iPhoto 7.1.5 is not supported. Please upgrade your iPhoto library with iPhoto 7.1.5 or later." I'm using the newest version of iPhoto. Any clues?

    I was having this same issue. When importing, Finder defaults to the Pictures folder where my iPhoto Library is found; however, I had to highlight it before clicking import to bypass this error. I'm not sure what else Aperture was looking at in that folder. I've never owned iPhoto earlier than the '09 version so there is nothing remotely related to version 7.

  • How can i view and upload photos from an older version of iPhoto which are on an external hard drive to my new iMac?  i currently have copied the application version 9.4.2. on my lacie backup and want to view and upload this to my new iPhoto version 9.5.1

    our old iMac died suddenly, but i had backed up the iPhoto application to a lacie external hard drive.   however, when i try to open it in my new iMac which is installed with version 9.5.1 and is upgraded to maverick, it comes up with “cannot be opened, to open you must upgrade to latest version” and then makes you press the quit button.
    the iPhoto version on the external hard drive is iPhoto 9.4.2 which i upgraded on 29/11/12 onto our old iMac (early 2007 version)
    my new iMac is running on version OSX 10.9.1
    i have looked at buying  iphoto library manager and have emailed them about whether this would work, but any advice would be gratefully received as i cannot be the only person that has had this problem but i cannot find any answers that work.
    thanks

    YOu can rebuild with Library Manager and this does not require a purchase:
    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.

    The title implies "importing photos & videos from previous versions" and only deals with "Organizer".  It does not mention if regular "JPG" or other formats need to change.   It does not discuss if images have been moved from one location to another folder or directory.  It does not discuss any issues of previous versions or backward compatability of formats.

  • How to open older version of iPhoto from an external drive. It won't let me open or upgrade to the latest version?

    How to open older version of iPhoto from an external drive. It won't let me open or upgrade to the latest version?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    how is the EHD where the library is located formatted?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Open Pages documents from an older version

    I need to open Pages documents from an older version of Pages that I saved to an external drive from a computer that I no longer have access to.  My current operating system is 10.7.5 and I can't upgrade it right now.  I see that Pages 5.0 requires 10.10 or higher and I can't find older versions to download and from what I've read, it doesn't sound like I'd be able to open the old documents with the new version anyway.  I really need these documents. What can I do?

    I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files.  They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
    Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office.  That's what I had to do.  After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us.  I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
    If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.

  • I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    Is this the note you are referring to:
    Not sure if this can help you.
    I checked my notes. They are stored here:
    MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
    xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
    If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
    If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
    If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.

  • How do I import my type file library from an older version of cs2

    I recently upgraded to cc from cs2 and now need to know how to import my type font library from my older version. All of my current artwork is not being displayed correctly because the fonts aren't recognized.

    There are a some fonts that gets installed with the Adobe app, and only get loaded when Ilustrator is booted.
    /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Adobe Illustrator.app/Required/Fonts/
    To better help you will need answers to these questions
    What OS you are on
    What fonts you are having trouble with
    Do you use any font utility such as an Extensis product, or fontbook on mac to manage you fonts.
    as this also may be a problem with your font cache needing to be reset.

  • Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • How can I access Address Book data from an older version of the application to transfer it to a newer version of Mac OS running on a second hard drive on the same MDD G4?

    I installed a hard drive from one PowerPC Dual 1.25 GHz MDD into another one with an older version of the OS X.  all my Address Book data are on the older hard drive, from which I now boot the computer.  When I launch Address Book as an app on the hard drive with the newer version of the OS, I get an error message that says I cannot run the version of Address Book from the older hard drive on the newer OS.  How can I access the data on the older hard drive version of the Address Book app so that I can transfer it to the newer version of the app on the boot drive?  The "Import" functionality will not work. I will be grateful for any help I can get.  I would also like to uninstall the older version of OS X from the older hard drive.

    Boot from the older version of OSX, then in AB use the File>Export>Export vCard after selecting all in AB.
    Then boot from the new OSx & use the new AB to import that VCF file.

  • Can a newer version read/import from an older version?

    I'm using the hard drive from my dead Powerbook G4 as an external drive in an enclosure. It had iPhoto v. 5.something. I want to view/import the photos on that old drive onto a Macbook Pro OSX 10.5.8/iPhoto 7.1.  I get told the older (Powerbook) version can't be read and that I need to use the newer version (the one on the Macbook). On the Macbook Pro, I open the external hard disk icon > Applicaitons > iPhoto, and I cant' get past the dialog box telling me to use the newer version of the application. There is only an OK button, which shuts down iPhoto 5.something. So I can't open it even to get the photos onto a flash drive.
    Isn't there a way to see the photo library from a previous version of IPhoto? It would be terrible if all those photos were gone. Nobody warned me about this.
    While I'm on the subject of iPhoto, is there any way to kill the dialog box that appears EVERY TIME I launch, asking if I want to use iPhoto when I attach my camera to the computer?
    Thank you for any advice you may have.
    Sylvia

    I'm not sure I follow your post
    1. There is in importing involved. You never import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
    2. Newer versions of iPhoto Will open and convert older libraries. Once the library has been converted the older version will no longer be able to access the converted library
    Does this help?

  • How do I migrate books from an older version of ADE on an old computer to a newer version of ADE on a newer computer?

    I have installed various versions of Adobe Digital Edition on a new computer.  The program says it detects books from an older version (which is correct, I copied "my digital editions" from an older computer to a new computer), and asks if I wish to migrate them to the new version.  I say yes, the program tells me the migration is successful, but I cannot see the old books in the library.  How do I get them to show up in the library of the new version of ADE?

    Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

    Well, you didn't give any information on your Mac, your OS version, transfer pics from where to where, or anything else, so guessing is the best anyone can do at this point: you should be able to simply using drag and drop.
