My upgrade of iPhoto has not worked and cannot find my photos, any advice?

Hi there
I was trying to find out why my photostream was not working, ie I could not see images taken on my iphone 4S on my macbook. I looked into it and it seems my iphoto was an old version so I needed to upgrae it via the App Store (cost me around GBP 10.00) I followed all the instructions but the new version of iphoto does not seem to have located my images and I get the whirling circle in the centre of the screen (as it if it is waiting to do soemthing). This has gon on for days. I have shut down and restarted but nothing has happend. I am am sure my photos must still be on my Macbook but I cannot see them.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
Kind Regards
S

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.

Autosave not working, and cannot Save Version in any Mac app

I am no longer able to save a version in a Mac app in Lion.
I was working in TextEdit and suddenly got an error message telling me the document could not be autosaved. I had saved it once manually. Doing a Command-S generated another error message saying the file could not be saved.
I tried duplicating the file, and the duplicate could not be saved after the initial save. Moving the file to another folder didn't help. I also tried putting it in a Dropbox folder - that didn't allow me to save it, either.
I did a Repair Permissions and that didn't work. I logged out, powered down - no joy.
I created a test account (administrator) and I was able to save there, and auto save was working.
I CAN save documents in apps that don't work with Lion's autosave normally. For example, Word 2011 will save just fine. But TextEdit, Pages, etc. will not.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the same problem as decribed by LeVeau, while working with Pages. This started to happen a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, I could not solve the problem the way he did. I booted my MacBook hitting CMD-R, had to unlock my startup-disk because it is encrypted (as hinted to in the comments of his blog post). When I repair permission, the windows notes "Running" and the turning circle just forever. It never stops. I let it run through a whole night, nothing happend. When I close the window, I get no warning or message or whatsoever. When I reboot, the problem is not solved. I also tried Applejack to solve it, but it apparently can't work on the encrypted disk in single user mode.
Does anyone have an idea on what I am doing wrong or what else I could try? The plist-files mentioned above are not in my library, so I could not delete them. I would be greatly thankful for any help.

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted, but it did not open upon completion and now shortcut does not work and cannot find file to run 4.0 in the firefox folder. Tried restarts and reinstalling 3.6 which now also won't work for me. Ideas?

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted yesterday. Seemed to download normally but did not automatically start following download even though that option was checked. The shortcut now is broken and efforts to fix it fail because the file cannot be found. Checked the firefox folder and do not see a file to run firefox. Tried restarting twice with no luck. Then tried multiple times to reinstall 4.0 with no success. Then tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3.6 with same result.

OK. Got it figured out. Disabled my virus scanning software and the download worked perfectly. Should have thought of that before now.

I have downloaded OS x 10.9.5 and it has not worked and my system (mimi mac the original version) doesn't allow me to see the tool bar etc?? how do I reboot it without losing everything?

You're talking about the dock?
To check on that, go to System Preferences > Dock > indicate your preference.
I can get iTunes up, and safari, but i don't know how
Not sure what you mean - if you can "get it up" - does that mean you can launch it? What do you not know?

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive. no matter what method I use, either click and drag or through the File menu. All I get is a message 'Preparing to import' - file size is less than 300 kb

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Why does Apple not give a list of error messages and possible solutions? I have the (-54) error continually that has suddenly appeared and cannot find a solution, even though other users seem to have the same problem.

I downloaded 200 photos, an event folder was created, I could see all the photos and was in the process of editing them when I got a message that iPhoto unexpectedly quit. I cannot find the photos anywhere on my computer now. Is there anything to do?

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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

Thanks for replying to my post.

Just completed a clean install of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and the Adobe Application Manager does not work and cannot install a fresh copy from Adobe

Just re-installed a fresh copy of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and somehow the Adobe Application Manager does not work and therefore cannot verify my copy. What should I do?
I get a message saying that Adobe Application Manager may be damaged and that I should install a new version of AAM. But after downloading a fresh copy of AAM and doing the install, the program (AAM) still will not install. It is like an infinite loop!
Please, someone help!
Thanks!

HI gener7!
I'm sorry but I am not on Creative Cloud. I'm still on CS6 and it was the Adobe Application Manager that wasn't working and I could not install the update to this application. My AAM version is: 8.0.0160
The link you provided was the update that I wanted to install but it does not work. A window shows up during that install that says:
We've encountered the following issues.
Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
and then the link to the Adobe Support Advisor which leads to a "Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued" page.
Thanks!

My Keynote and iPhoto are not working together to build stacked photos

I am new to the Mac world (1st day on the Mac) and I am trying to stack 3 photos on to one Keynote slide. I cannot get my photos in iPhoto to come up when I click on Media.
What am I doing wrong?

We need clarification here.
Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software. iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher. Leopard is OSX 10.5.8. You have two alternatives right now. One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard. This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4. The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7. The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
Here is iTunes 10.6.3
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
If you want to try upgrading:
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory"). If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see. "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue.

IPhoto app not working and will not update.

My iPhoto app is not working on my MacBook Pro. I have version 9.3.2 of iPhoto and when i try get into it a message pops up saying "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X." The app won't update either. When I try to update it it comes up that there is an error with the app store. Can anyone help!?

Did you upgrade the operating system on your MBP to Mavericks? If you have then that's why the 9.3.2 version of iPhoto won't run. Here's a screenshot showing which versions of iPhoto will work with Mavericks and those that won't:
If that's the case go to the App Store to download iPhoto 9.5.1 and install it.
Happy Holidays

Creative Cloud Installation: Gets half way completed then Windows says its has stop working and will find a solution BUT NEVER DOES. How to fix/bypass this issue??

So for the last 36 hours I have attempted to install Adobe Pro with no luck. Creative Cloud is the app I am forced to use to install. I have windows 7 OS, as the installing begins all is working just fine. As the installations gets about 50% complete, it seems to stall out and then Windows interrupts and says "Creative Cloud is not responding, Windows will find a solution and fix the problem" Mind you Windows never comes back with anything close to an solution. Has anyone seen this?? Do you have an fix?? It would be greatly appreciative

Hi,
Could you please retry after restarting the system.
If this issue does not get resolved even after restart then please share the following details :
1. Do you have any previous version of Acrobat installed?
2. Share PDApp.log, MSI Installation log file from %temp%
Thanks,
Vinod
