my iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
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.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • How do i import from my Aperture 3 to 3.5.1 as Aperture 3 says it needs to be upgraded which i have done but still cannot open my photographs.

    how do i import from my Aperture 3 to 3.5.1 as Aperture 3 says it needs to be upgraded to 3.5.1 which I have done but i still cannot see any photographers.
    Are you trying to import an older Aperture 3 library? Or do you just want to open your old library in Aperture 3.5.1?
    In any case the Aperture library needs to be upgraded, not the Aperture application. Double-click your old Aperture library to open it in Aperture. Then Aperture will upgrade the library, so it can be opened in Aperture  and you can can browse it.
    Since upgrading your Aperture library to Aperture 3.5.1 will require a major rebuilding the library in a new format be sure to make a backup copy of your library before doing this, just to be safe.

    Is this a movie from iTunes? If so is it a rental or one you've purchased?

  • New Iphoto wont open after yosemite update

    Also posted in Iphoto for Mac Community
    I'm working on a MacBook (2009) and upgraded to Yosemite, which went smoothly.  I was prompted to upgrade iphoto so I went to the App Store and it downloaded, but it wont open. The application appears in the applications folder but when I double click, nothing happens.In the application folders it says it was created modified and last opened on Nov 12, but I have yet to open or use the application.
    I've tried restarting the machine, with no change.  I've restarted the App store with no change. When I check the purchases tab in the App store, or Launchpad, it says the download is "paused" for iphoto. I hit the "resume" button and nothing changes.  One time it changed from "paused" to "waiting" It was "waiting" for several hours until the computer went to sleep, it went back to paused. Any ideas on what to try next to get iphoto to work?
    thank you in advance!

    hi Dahveed
    since installing yosemite my iphoto is also not working. When I want to update it it gives the following message..
    "this update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    Please advise
    thank you for your time

  • ITunes wont open because of runtime error? please help

    Whenever I try to open my itunes the window pops up but then is followed by a message saying:
    "Runtime Error!
    This application has reguested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
    Please help guys

    Some users here have reported that one cause of the Runtime error is the Apple Software Update, so you might try removing that and see if that fixes the problem. Removing the Software Update shouldn't affect iTunes itself (though as with any software maintenance operation, it would be wise to make a backup of your purchased tracks before you try it), you just won't get automatic update checking.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot open .pdfs.  Updates downloaded.  Please help

    "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." 
    This is the error message I have been getting for the last three weeks or so.  Cannot open .pdfs on MacBook Pro.  No changes have been made to computer.  Please offer suggestions.  Adobe Reader updates have been downloaded.  Please help!  Thanks.

    If Reader and Preview can't open them, they are most likely damaged.

  • App Store wont open & Letter A's in Boxes, please help!

    Hiya,
    Having an absolute nightmare so any help is greatly appreciated.
    Firstly I noticed that on websites such as YouTube I'm seeing the letter 'A' in boxes where there should be words.
    After reading many posts about this I've still found no solutions. I've tried software to clear my caches and attempted all sorts of restarts (safe mode and NVRAM restart). I've tried pretty much every solution that I can find online. I can't even open Font Book to take a look, I click on it and nothing happens.
    This is the same for the App Store. I click on it and it wont open. The icon bounces on the dock for a second and then nothing happens. The icon for the app store has also changed to a piece of paper with a couple of pens in front of it?
    Completely baffled as to what has happened here.
    Thank you in advance for any advice.
    Johnny

    You are welcome. Are you having problems with any other applications?
    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

    Its kind of upsetting because i have to downgrade it to iLife '09 to use it... anyone?

    You need to re-install:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
