My iPhoto 8.1.2 will not open.  I have MacBook2,1 with OS10.5.8

I have MacBook 2,1 with OS X 10.5.8.  I am trying to open iPhoto (8.1.2) but all I see is the window with a spinning wheel.  Please help

Hello AGsmooth,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If iPhoto is opening to a spinning gear, then I'd like you to please back up your iPhoto Library and then repair it by following the directions below.

Have a great weekend,
Alex H.

  • Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open. Have rstrated but no change, need help to fix, please

    Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open, I have rebooted twice with no effect, I don't know what else to do to get my itunes back. Need help please

    Believe I've firxed my problem, at least, ITunes is now working again. I followed the information provided from a couple of posts on this thread, (1) re restarting with command-s held down; did it twice, made no differerence; (2) manually re-installed the Security update; no difference; each time restarting, no effect; (3) shutdown the computer; I did for 35 minutes, upon restart, ITunes is back to normal, seems to be working fine. Turning the computer off must clear the cache?

  • I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto.  It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!!

    I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto.  It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!!  I need these photos, to complete the video, not to mention I don't want to lose them. I have had trouble ever since upgrading  to Maverick.

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • IPhoto 9.5.1 Will not open, I am running OS X 10.9.

      iPhoto 9.5.1 Will not open, I am running OS X 10.9.
    I was trying to delete a photo from iPhoto and it would not delete. I then deleted the one photo out of the library folder.
    From that point on whenever I try to open iPhoto it tells me I must install "iPhoto library upgrader."
    I installed this and now it just keeps telling me the same.
    I then deleted iPhoto from the computer and reinstalled it from the apple website. And it was giving me the same errors again.
    I followed the advice on this form and downloaded iPhoto Library manager. When I click rebuild library, it says , "The album data file for the library “iPhoto Library” could not be read. The file “AlbumData.xml” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file."
    Any ideas?
    Why is it so hard to delete a photo from this new version?
    Thanks for your help

    From that point on whenever I try to open iPhoto it tells me I must install "iPhoto library upgrader."
    I installed this and now it just keeps telling me the same.
    Now you have to go to the Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the updater to actually run it.
    Deleting a photo from this version is exactly the same as other versions.

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

  • Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite

    Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite installed

    That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect.  You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
    If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

  • IPhoto (9.5.1) will not open in OSX Mavericks

    Grateful for some help. A few months back we had to take our Mac into Apple store because TimeMachine wasn't backing up. They ran loads of diagnostics and said problem was a corrupted OS. We backed up everything and they loaded OS X Mavericks on for us. They then re-loaded everything from our back-up. Everything seemed to work ok except Iphoto which would not open. We called the Apple Support people who talked us through some steps. They couldn't identify the problem but said they could solve it by creating a second iphoto library (2). They did this and whilst it opened ok all of our old folders had disappeared.
    However now (few weeks later) iphoto will not open at all. I have tried to access it through the desktop, Applications, finder etc but no joy. I've read through various community conversations and see that there has been problems with OSX and iphoto. I've tried downloading Library Manager Upgrade 1.1. but when I try to run it says my version of iphoto doesn't need it.
    Details:
    iMac 27" Mid 2011, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 (13C64)
    IPhoto V9.5.1
    Any help please!

    Try this:
    From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
    Select Library from the drop down menu
    Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
    Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
    Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
    Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
    Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
    Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
    Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
    iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. Unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old).
    Credit to user photosb189 for that.

  • Dreamweaver will not open. Have a project due Friday and have to finish. :(

    When i was working late lastnight, I noticed that when I tried to insert a spry menu into a new page I created, that Dreamweaver kept shutting down on me. I would restart, try again and the same would happen. So I just shut down thinking I'm just tired and not getting it.
    So I opened up this afternoon to work again and the program will not open. It looks like it is, then it just goes away.
    I did the following:
    restart
    restart again
    total shudown
    system restore to three days ago
    reload software
    Still nothing. Any ideas?

    Here's one possibility

  • My iPad mail will not open.  Have restarted, but still will not open

    My ipad 2 mail will not open.  Touch mail, it moves to mail for a couple seconds then jumps back to main menu...  Have restarted and reset, but does not change anything.
    Bob

    Close the mail app and reset your iPad.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, you might want to consider deleting the account and adding it back in - or going into your account on a computer - using webmail - and look for an email that has a large attachment that might be causing problems and causing the mail app to crash.

  • My Itunes library will not open becuase of being created with a newer version

    I did create the library with a newer version of itunes, i did this so that i could drag songs from a folder i had on this computer earlier. Now it will not open. I need help quick cause i would love to be able to drag these songs over s they will be on my iphone. HELP!

    Let me get this right...
    You have an iTunes library which you are now trying to use with a version prior to one that you were using, correct? Why?
    Why don't you use the most up-to-date version of iTunes?
    If you try using version 10.0 (for example), then anything iTunes has sorted out using 10.5 will not be recognised by 10.0, which is why you get the message.  Apple's advice is to always use the most up-to-date version of iTunes.

    I've tried removing Office 2011 completely and re-installing to no avail.

    Unfortunately, my experience with Office is that somethoping will get corrupted in your account that prevents it from running. I have never figured out  what exactly needs to be removed to make it work again.

  • Firefox 7 and 8 will not open, I have to revert back to 4 to get it to start

    Everytime firefox upgrades it will not open. No error, just no response. this happened on all updates to 7 and now 8. Each time I have to reload 4. The only advice I found was to somehow set the antivirus. I had McAfee. I completely removed it, but no joy. I now run Symantic Endpoint Protection, but it still doesn't matter. I have a Dell D610 running XP Pro 5.1.2600
