My iphoto program will not open, I get a message "you have previously used a newer version" open with that

my iphoto program will not open I get a message "you have used a newer program in the past use that program" I only have the one ???

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

S4BB Audiobook won't work - this file could not be opened check that you have the correct permissions and try again

I bought the french audiobook J'accuse from S4BB and it simply doesn't work. I sought help from Blackberry and got the message that BB doesn't support 3rd party apps. I contacted S4BB, who by the way says they have a warranty on their apps, and got the email back that "for the issues and refund you would need to contact BlackBerry as the only way you can download to the playbook is through App World we do not have access to their system."
I have deleted the app and re-installed, uninstalled and re-installed, searched permissions (not listed there), and it simply does not work. It says "this file could not be opened check that you have the correct permissions and try again".
I put a warning comment on blackberry app world that the app doesn't work and that support is hard to get, and Blackberry has removed both the comment and the very low rating I have this. I found this to be the most disturbing part.
Is there anything I can do to either get this app to work, or get a refund on this app?
Also, why was this comment and rating deleted - this seems to be contrary to the nature of comment sections on apps and does not do a service to your customers who may download this app which doesn't work?

Try right clicking on the installer and select run as administrator.

Any ideas????

I found a similar problem and the instructions said to check a permission box in the "Get Info" tab.
This applies only when the Library is on an external drive. You cannot ignore permissions on the system drive.
I was deleting files trying to make space on my hard drive
What were you deleting?
and noticed as I was deleting files more data was being added to the iPhoto Library.
Hard to see how deleting files can add data to the iPhoto Library. Can you explain why you thought this?
I would really like to keep these pictures.
Make a back up now.
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

"Check that you have permission to write to the library directory." I had this error pop up when trying to access a iPhoto Library from Finder.

The error, "Check that you have permission to write to the library directory." Displayed after trying to access a iPhoto Library from finder. The file is located on the local hard drive and was accessed not 5 minutes before the error displayed. Upon searching the forums I found a similar problem and the instructions said to check a permission box in the "Get Info" tab. There was no box visible and after clicking the arrow to open the "Open With" tab, the rainbow wheel started to spin and I could no longer access Finder or the desktop. I was deleting files trying to make space on my hard drive and noticed as I was deleting files more data was being added to the iPhoto Library. My question is how can I fix this and how can I prevent this in the future, thank you very much for any help, I would really like to keep these pictures.

Same issue for me. Was running 10.5.3 due to the bug in 10.6 with Apple TV. Upgraded to 10.6.1 since it was supposed to solve the issues. ANd no I can;t open iTunes at all.
Annoyed that 10.6 was shipped with the bug with the Apple TV sortting of titles.
Really p*ssed off that 10.6.1 which was supposed to fix this has totally borken iTunes for me.
Time to try to revert to 10.5.3 again.

Hi mallela1,
I also had similar issue couple of months back when I was trying to access a remote URL from a Windows service when the site does not exists in the server where service resides.
You cannot access a remote url (even though it is SharePoint server and also in same network ) from server object model.
SPSite can look in the current server only. here what is happening is SPSite will look for this in the current server DB and it is not finding this errror.
So please dont use ServerObject model for accessing remote sites. You can use Client Object model for the code /requirement you have stated above.
I wasted lot of time in finding a work around to make to work. It did not. So look for other options.
Regards,
Nandini

Unable to write to library iPhoto library Check that you have permission to write to the library directory

I think my iPhoto memory is full. I cannot get in to delete photos. When I open it I get the Unable to write to library iPhoto libraryCheck that you have permission to write to the library directory" and i can't do anything else. I tried alt/cmd first aid and it didn't work.
I want to get in and move pics over to a USB stick drive but cannot get past the Unable to write to library..message.

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.

Firefox does not open a new tab when you click the plus sign button which is actually a shortcut for opening a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to get a new tab. Please help. Thanks.

I didn't have this problem before with Firefox. My kids must have pressed something or clicked on something that's the open new tab button does not function anymore. No matter how you click it, it doesn't open a new tab. Even if you click on file, then go to new tab, it still doesn't open a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to do multiple browsing.
Hope you can help resolve this problem.
Sincerely,
Ems Guillarte

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. Checking your list of add-ons, the MyPlayCity toolbar is a version of the Ask toolbar.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

IPhoto won't open and has an error that says "Unable to write to iPhoto Library, check that you have permission to write to the iPhoto directory. Please help.

It will not open my photos as well. I see this question asked in 2010 but I don't have the files it says that are there.

Where are you storing your iPhoto library? In your Pictures folder or on an external drive? Or are you trying to open an iPhoto library on a CD? If you save your iPhoto library to a CD, or DVD you need to copy it to a writable disk, before you can open it in iPhoto.
ANd what is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version? What happened, directly, before the problem occured?

IPhoto: Unable to write to library. Check that you have permission to write to the library directory

I have been asked to submit a new thread regarding iPhoto's recent inability to write to library.
The original thread can be found here.
SPECS:
Mac Mini (Mid 2011)
OSX 10.10.2
Seagate 4TB External HDD, formatted to Mac OS External (Journaled) (purchased 8 Feb 2015)
Previously, "Ignore ownership on this volume" was not ticked. Now it has been selected.
Before 30 March, iPhoto Library located on the Seagate external HDD worked fine with no errors. It was previous copied from Carbon Copy Cloner from one of my Samsung internal HDD in my Mac Mini that had a S.M.A.R.T. failure. There were errors with particular thumbnails and files (I assume had corrupted due to the internal HDD failing) but CCC did as directed and copied the entire iPhoto Library to the new Seagate external HDD.
It seems that after installing the latest iPhoto update:
iPhoto version 9.6.1 from the App Store (installed March 30, 2015), iPhoto no longer has "permission" to write to library when opened:
(Could this be a program with the latest software update?)
Upon accessing the Photo Library First Aid control panel (holding Option+Command keys and selecting iPhoto):
And selecting the first option, "Repair Permission,"
I still receive the error message (doesn't even start repairing photo library permissions):
What else should I do? It won't let me "Rebuild Database" either. I have restarted the Mac Mini. I haven't tried disconnecting the external HDD. And I do not have another HDD big enough to transfer the entire iPhoto Library to see if it is my iPhoto Library that has corrupted, or the new Seagate external HDD that has decided not to play nice. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

OK. I've been trying to workshop this some more.
AFTER restarting my Mac Mini, I selected "Get Info" on this Seagate external HDD, and low and behold, "everyone" sharing & permissions was reset back to "Read Only." I attempted to move a folder into this external HDD and was as to "Authenticate" the move. So entering my Administrator password, the folder can be moved.
I went into Disk Utility to "Verify Disk" and I now get the green text "This volume appears to be OK."
But I am UNABLE to "Ignore ownership on this volume."
I receive the following error message:
The operation can't be completed. "An unexpected error occurred (error code -8076)."
I am pulling my hair out!

When I click on iPhoto a box appears saying unable to write to library"iPhoto library" next in smaller print it says check that you have permission to write to the library directory

How do I correct this?

Where are you storing your iPhoto library? In your Pictures folder or on an external drive? Or are you trying to open an iPhoto library on a CD? If you save your iPhoto library to a CD, or DVD you need to copy it to a writable disk, before you can open it in iPhoto.
