Maverick upgrade - iphoto fails to open

I've recently downloaded Maverick and now iphoto won't open on my 2009 Mac.
Any suggestions how to make it work??

Through the finder i've confirmed it's version 9.5.1. 
As for the error message  it says
' iphoto quit unexpectectedly, click reopen to open the application again, this report will be sent to Apple automatically

  • HT4236 Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and take the photos from my iPhone.  I have the older version of iPhoto, so Photo Stream does not work.  Can you please help?

    You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

  • I'm using an iMac running OS X 10.9.2 and since i installed mavericks my iPhoto will not open.  Can anyone help please?

    my iPhoto will not open since I installed Mavericks.  Can anyone help with this please?

    Do you have one of the versions that are shown here with the forbidden symbol over them:
    If so you'll need to upgrade iPhoto to 9.5.1 from the App Store.  It'll be a free upgrade.

  • IPhoto fails to open with Yosemite

    Hello everyone,
    Since my last update of iPhoto (V 9.6) on my MacBook Pro 17 "(2011) running Yosemite: it stops during the opening of the photo library [iPhoto (not responding) in "Force applications to leave dialog"]. My tests and observations:
    -The Repair permissions utility changes nothing...
    -Opening of  an "iPhoto library" newly created does not work more...
    -My normal library (which does not open) opens fine on my other Mac : A Mac Pro 2014 running Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6 (same versions so).
    -The regeneration of all iPhoto elements into libraries (general and user one) does not change anything either...
    -iPhoto Library permissions are OK (R / W for everybody and current user)
    Here is an excerpt of the console messages during the failure of loading:

    It seems that the problem is contained in the line in bold, unfortunately, his interpretation is far beyond my abilities ...
    Thanks in advance for your helps... :-)

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If the new library fails like the current one does do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • Maverick upgrade - iPhoto problems

    I have updated my iMac with Maverick but find iPhoto won't work. I get the error message: "You can't' use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. You have "iPhoto" 9.2.3  -  Any ideas what I do now? What's the point of an update to Maverick if this is the result?

    You will need to to go the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5.1 (free).

  • The application "Jpeg to iPhoto" failed to open the attachment "a.JPG"

    I no longer can convert a jpg file received in emails to my IPhoto library. All was groovy a few days ago.

    what happens if you save the photo to the desktop and import from there?
    If you save the photo to the desk top and then drag it from the desktop onto the iPhoto icon in the dock what happens?
    When I try to convert jpgs to Iphoto on the desktop or in files I receive an error message that I cannot convert as the photo is in the Trash.
    The trash comment seems really strange
    You do not tell much about what you are doing - I have never heard of "jpeg to iPhoto" before - it is really old and is for entrourage - what is the reason you are using it rather than just saving photos and importing them?

  • IPhoto won't open since last update V9.5.1

    My iPhoto won't open since the latest update (V9.5.1) was installed.  I do not get any error message, the icon bounces a couple times and then nothing happens.  I've tried the following solutions found in other forums:
    -Using "iPhoto Library Manager" to rebuild library and repair iPhoto, did not work because "iPhoto failed to open"
    -Removing the file iPhotoLock.data from Finder>Pictures>Right Click iPhoto Library>Show Package Contents, this also did nothing.
    I can't find any other solution and I'm worried that I may lose my pictures (over 20GB of pics).
    Is someone else having similar issues?

    You don't always have a good current backup?  Without one you are 100% guarenteed to lose everything including your photos sooner or later - things do fail - Time Machine is included on yur Mac - use it - you eed a large external hard drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - once set up it is automatic and will save you when things go South
    For now all you need is a copy of the iPhoto library
    I stated in my original message that I have the most current version of iPhoto, iPhoto '11 V9.5.1.  Is there a way to reverse the update because I had no problems with it until the update was done automatically.
    Yes - but since things are not wroking ti is important to verify facts - not work on assumptions
    No - you can not "undo the update" easily but you can fix things

  • I made an upgrade to Mavericks and my iPhoto does not open, what should I do to recover iPhoto?

    I made an upgrade to Mavericks and my iPhoto does not open, what should I do to recover iPhoto with all my photos?

    what happens? What version of iPhoto do you have? For Mavericks you must have iPhoto '11 version 9.5 - if you own any version of iPhoto '11 it is a free update - if you own a previous version then you must purchase iPhoto '11 in the App store

  • IPhoto won't open with new mavericks on mac!

    Hi! I just downloaded mavericks for my mac and now my iphoto won't open! Do I have to download a new version and will all my old pictures still be there? Thanks! I'm really freaking out about it!I

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

  • Photos Missing from iPhoto with Maverick Upgrade

    I have recently upgraded to the Maverick OS and noticed that all my photos are now missing from iPhoto however I can see them under Preview when I use the Finder application. Also, when I open iPhoto it prompts me to enter personalized settings as if I am using it for the first time (ie: Face recognition, etc.) How can I get my photos back into iPhoto? I am worried I may lose them.

    Have you upgraded iPhoto after your Mavericks upgrade?
    Be aware after updating iPhoto save your iPhoto Library before you open it in the new version of iPhoto Library. If you don't and you have other Macs running eariler versions of iPhoto, they won't be able to open the Library.

  • Upgraded and now cannot open iPhotos

    I just updated to Maverick, but now iPhotos 9.2.3 won't open. Did I just loose all my photos? If I upgrade my iPhotos, will I be able to get them back?

    Hello K29292,
    Thank you for the question, and I definitely understand your concern.  The iPhoto application and your iPhoto Library are stored in two different locations, so even if you cannot open iPhoto, your photos are still in their original location. 
    The version of iPhoto you are currently running is not compatible with Mavericks, but you can upgrade iPhoto to the latest version to access your photos.  Follow the steps in the article below to upgrade the iPhoto application:
    iPhoto '11: Update your iPhoto software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2509
    Once you update iPhoto, you should be able to access your iPhoto Library, but it is always a good idea to have a backup of your photos:
    iPhoto '11: Back up your iPhoto library

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • IPhoto no longer compatible because of Maverick upgrade - help!

    My son upgraded my computer to Maverick and now iPhoto will not work.  Will I lose all my photos if I upgrade iPhoto to be compatible with Maverick?  Also, all my folders in my mail have disappeared - does anyone know how to retrieve them?

    If you have a Time Machine backup, you can restore the 'old library' if the need arises.
    Mail.
    Restore Mailboxes and their Content
    If the mailboxes are gone.
    Your mailboxes are in your User Library folder which is hidden by default.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2.  Enter your backup with that folder selected. Find the mailbox and restore it.
    If you would prefer to make your user library visible, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. You might need to redo this after an update.
