Need help reloading iPhoto after Yosemite loaded

I put OS X Yosemite on my computer yesterday.   Today iPhoto had a symbol over it and would not open.  I found a similar page and it said to delete iPhoto and close app store and reboot and then reload iPhoto.  When I went back into the app store the there is no iPhoto app to upload. Please help me get it back.

As of 10.10.3, iPhoto is no longer supported. You'll need to migrate your iPhoto library into the new Photos app.

  • I need help updating iphoto after Mavericks

    So I downloaded Mavericks, and lost iphoto ... nothing in this world comes easy, right?  I've called and emailed support at Apple, and got nothing but a stock response "Sign into your account, go to the app store, and update your apps!"  Yeah, NO KIDDING.  That was the first thing I did...and when I do, I get the following error 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."
    I've tried this while signed in with the only two apple IDs I know of, and got the same message.  As per my iTunes Store/Mac App Store Advisor Julie Ann's request, I replied to her email telling her it didn't work, and now I am awaiting further instruction...it's been 5 days. 
    The only info I've been able to get out of customer service at Apple is that I will likely have to buy the updated iphoto ... At this point, I am over the injustice that I have to pay for this app again, I just want access to my files.  I will buy the stupid thing if they really make me.  In fact, I've already tried, but I can't figure out how!  When I go to the app store, the only option presented is to "update."  I've thought about uninstalling iphoto and buying it again, but I don't want to risk losing the existing files on my comp.  I know my pictures are still there because the files is rather large. 
    Anyway, can anyone offer a real solution to this problem?  I guess I can trek to the nearest Apple store, but that requires me to take a ride into the city and wait in line ... ain't nobody got time for that!  PLEASE HELP I NEED MY FILES. 

    I don't remember exactly what it had on it (snow leopard?) when I got it 5 years ago.  Last year I had the hardrive serviced and installed the lastest (at the time) OSX...I believe it was Mountain Lion.  After that I guess I must have accepted the iLife apps, since I've been using them with no problem.  The only app I have trouble with after the Mavericks upgrade is iphoto. 
    Why would I do this without backup?  I don't know, I like to live on the edge?  That's not really the point now, is it?  Truth is, everything I need is backed up, except this one file that I happen to need, that I put in iphoto the day before the upgrade.  The only reason I was interested in this stupid upgrade is because I was trying to buy Numbers, and it wouldn't let me without the latest OS.  Honestly, I find it to be completely useless and wish I never did it. 
    Point is, why am I having this issue with iphoto exclusively?  Can you offer any advice?

  • I need help with iPhoto 9

    Hi there,
    I am hoping to get some help with my iPhoto. I recently updated to lion, and then, realizing that photostream required iphoto '11, updated that too. I downloaded it from the app store, and installed it. I did not check to make sure my iphoto was up to date before installing, though i updated to lion just days before and everything was up to date after that.
    So I downloaded it, installed it and clicked the upgrade button. The upgrade bar finished it's load and then closed and my iphoto side bar loaded. But the circular load icon continued circiling overnight! So I quit and tried to reload. I have tried deleting the .pst file, repairing the permissions, deleting the program and re-installing it. I CANNOT get it to worrkkk! I can't tell if I just need to let it sit longer or if the new iPhoto broke my computer!
    I know lots of people have had issues with the new iPhoto, and I have tried all the suggestions I could find. I should mention that it is version 9.2 and my lion is up to date.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks!
    Danielle

    IIII figured it out....
    I had old "projects" - photobooks, cards etc. that were for some reason blocking me.
    I followed this, which i found on another apple forum.
    Hope this helps whoever else is out there... clearly this is an issue for more than a few people... I hope apple is aware of this...
    i followed these steps:
    Go to the library file on disk, right-click it and select "Show Package Contents." Then locate and remove the following items:
    InterruptedUpdate
    ThemeCache
    ProjectDBVersion.plist
    Projects.db
    Projects.db-journal
    then:
    i repaired permissions in disk utility.
    then:
    go to the /username/Library/Preferences/ folder and remove the file "com.apple.iPhoto.plist."
    Then relaunch iPhoto.
    It worked for me.

  • How to use iphoto after yosemite 10.10.3, that have disabled it for new photo app?

    My iMac did install new yosemite 10.10.3 telling me that new Photo app was "best ever" but now I can't open old iPhoto library because it was in old format of iPhoto library and the iPhoto app was now unusable because new Photo app. Can you help me!!??

    and the iPhoto app was now unusable because new Photo app. Can you help me!!??
    Which version of iPhoto do you have installed?  With Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10.3, you need to update iPhoto to version 9.6.1.  Only that version is fully compatible.
    Apple stopped selling iPhoto, but anyone who bought iPhoto from the AppStore or updated it to a version sold at the App Store (iPhoto 9.4.5 or later) will be able to reinstall from the App Store by downloading from the Purchases tab.
    If you have any version of iPhoto, that has been updated from the AppStore and is associated with your Apple ID, try to reinstall from the "Purchases" page. 
    Unhide iPhoto, if it is hidden on your Purchases page (See this link: Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases)
    Trash the incompatible iPhoto version, but don't empty the Trash.
    Reload your Purchases page at the App Store with ⌘R
    Then download from that page.
    The step "Trash the incompatible iPhoto version, but don't empty the Trash."  must not be skipped. If Spotlight sees a version of iPhoto installed, the AppStore will try to update instead of reinstall, which does not work.

  • I need help reloading my OS

    Hello!
    As a user-to-user volunteer-supported community, there is no commitment for when/if any post will be responded to. We try, but we as well are only human and also have lives to live. Further, many of us who volunteer a lot of time here are in the USA...and this past weekend (starting Thursday, earlier for some) was a major holiday period in the USA, rendering many of the volunteers busy with their lives and unable to post here. Hence, the delay in replying to your post is, while unfortunate, not unexpected. Of course, this solution has been posted perhaps thousands of times already...some searching of the site should certainly have revealed it to you sooner rather than awaiting a reply perhaps?
    In any event...concerning your query -- at the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    You can bypass the Desktop Software for this and from a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • Help my iphoto will not load.

    I am having trouble loading my iphoto the wheel just keeps spinning HELP PLEASE............

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. 

  • Need help restoring iPhoto 08 Library into iPhoto 11

    Ok, I have spent hours trying to figure this out on my own. I'm not being lazy but I need help!  I have a black macbook (2009) that had Leopard (not Snow) and iPhoto 08. It crashed. I had a time machine backup on external drive. I got a new hard drive installed and they upgraded me to Lion and iPhoto 11.  I messed up and started the system without hooking up to time machine. I tried to use migration assistant. It imported only imported 400 pics of my many thousand pics.
    I did several things: I tried to rebuild the library, look for orphans, etc. I deleted the ProjectDBVersion.plist, Projects.db, Projects.db-journal files as someone suggested. I deleted the new iphoto 11 library. i dragged the my old iphoto library from time machine. I held down option and tried to build it again from the old library. I still get the same 400 pics. I even tried the free version of Photo Library Manager. It created the same library with 400 pics. (not sure if I know how to use this app right).
    If I open the new iphoto 11 library, I can see my pics in the  "Masters" file.  I was able to drag these to my desktop and then put in iphoto but does this method save my edits? Should I drag the "Modified" pics into iphoto instead? I don't care much about keywords, I just want my edits. I also don't want old deleted photos put back into iphoto. 
    another question, time machine (TM) is not turned on yet with new hard drive and OS. it doesn't recognize my external drive as TM. It asks if I want to designate it as TM. If I do this, will it delete my old backup (with all my important data) and start a new backup of my new hard drive which doesn't have all the pics yet.
    I don't have a copy of Lion so if I do a complete restore, I will have to buy it and add all info again. Is this my best option? Would it really make a difference?
    Terrance, you out there?
    Thanks for any help!

    It might start backing up your new drive but will not erase what's on it as long as there is sufficient space. Also you can turn on TM and exclude your entire HD via the TM Options pane.
    Then go to your Pictures folder and enter Time Machine.  Go back to the appropriate date, select the library and use the Restore button.
    OT
    NOTE:  if you have trouble entering TM's backups go to the Lion forum and ask your question there.  Also do a search there for Time Machine so see if there are any similar topics there already.

  • Need help. Activation after update iOS 5.1 is not working!!

    Need Help in activating my iphone 4 after update iOS 5.1. My phone was been neverlock and i used its before update without any activations. After update i can't turn on my phone!!! On the display have message "SIM not valid. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive replacement SIM card". But i haven't any sim cards. Only the sim card from my operator  "Kyivstar" (Ukraine)... What should i do?!
    p.s.: sorry for my bad english, but i live in Ukraine, and we haven't autorized service center of Apple in our country. help me please.

    You have been using a phone that has been hacked to allow it to be used on your network.  Upgrading your phone's software has relocked your phone to the original carrier. 
    You will not be able to use your phone again unless the ORIGINAL carrier offers unlocking.  Many don't, and many who DO offer unlocking, will not unlock unless the phone has active service with the carrier in the appropriate country. 
    You will need to find out who the carrier your phone is locked to is, and see if that carrier unlocks the phone.  It is very likely you will need to buy a new phone.

  • Need help restoring iphoto.

    How/ what do I need to do, to have iphoto, as if it was the first time ever, and ask me to select my library or a cd whatever, to put photos on. I am currently trying to bring everything over from my user and making a new one cause I notice alot of problems with my old user compared to a new one I made to see a difference and theres a big difference. But right now I made a mistake and I need to get iphoto back to the point of slectin the library,
    Nathan

    Hi Nathan,
    If there is an iPhoto Library folder in your Pictures folder just rename it, then launch iPhoto. When you launch iPhoto it will ask you if you want to create a new library or open another library. Or you can hold down the Option key when launching iPhoto and you will be asked to do the same thing.
    When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
    If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
    Open library
    Navigate to where the library is on your computer and then choose it.
    You will probably have to change permissions on the iPhoto Library folder for the new user also. Do a "get info" on the folder and make sure the permissions are read/write for the new user and click the "apply to enclosed items" button at the bottom.

  • Just need help getting contacts after upgrade

    someone mentioned going to back up done before the upgrade. How do you access that? i did the back up a week ago and did another before upgrading this afternoon. I lost all my apps but was able to figure out how to get them back and it didn't involve going to a backup. The speed is quicker than before I just need help with getting my contacts back. anyone able to help me out on this matter?

    All your contacts should be in whatever PC program you have been syncing them with - Outlook 2003/2007 or Windows Address Book.
    This article describes how to set this up:

  • I can't open iPhoto after yosemite upgrade - tried to reinstall, not working! Help!

    Hi
    Im new here so please bare with me if I've not included everything needed but I'm really struggling an after trying everything else on every other link I've found Im stuck!
    I installed Yosemite a few weeks back. I have tried everything I have read on forums etc... to try to get iPhoto to work but nothing is helping. What am I missing out?
    I upgraded iphoto in the ap store. I have tried uninstalling iPhoto as per advice from a other thread and when I re download it it still just has a grey screen with the circle going round an doesn't do anything. All I can do is force quit it.
    I have my photos backed up. Im not concerned about getting them or them being wiped from my machine. My theory was to uninstall it and reinstall it fresh as new and just start again. My photo library was huge (talking well over 100,000 photos) so thought it might take a while but left it overnight an still nothing. iMovie and other programs working fine after the update. I just now have nowhere to do quick edits and view my pictures.
    iMac (27-inch, Late 2009),2.66 GHz Intel Core i5,4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    How can I just start again an have a nice fresh iPhoto for me to upload my photos from my backup drive?

    Hi, Léonie,
    My iphoto is having the almost the same problem except that these are old iphoto files from 2010-2013... And I backed them up in external drive.
    So, after upgrading and letting it repairing, iphoto asked me to quit the application. I'm sure it could be open with older version of iphoto...
    Below is what I see step by step.  Please help, I've got quite a few years memories there... 
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

  • Need help saving iPhoto library from damaged hard drive

    Trying to help my wife, she has the following:
    MacBook Pro running OS X Lion version 10.7.3
    iPhoto 11 version 9.2.2
    Her hard drive failed last week and she had a ton of photos on it, of course not backed up.
    We took her machine to the local Apple Store, they confirmed they couldn't recover the data and they installed a new hard drive in the MacBook.  We took the old hard drive to my local PC supplier who's very clever, he worked on the hard drive and was able to copy all my wife's documents to another storage device.....but, he couldn't copy the iPhoto library and is requesting some help.....he doesn't know much about Macs, nor how iPhoto works.
    I've read a lot of the posts on this forum and am learning about how the iPhoto library works....and how it requires a Mac based back up hard drive in order to copy it.  Okay, here are my questions:
    1.  My PC troubleshooting guy can see the iPhoto library icon on the damaged hard drive, he says its a huge file.  It appears we would need to supply him with a Mac formated back up hard drive, then he could just move that iPhoto library icon (which contains all photos) to the new back up drive.  Is this correct?
    2.  Once we have this old iPhoto library on the new back up hard drive, we could bring it home of course, but then I need to get it into the new hard drive on my wife's MacBook Pro.  I'm assuming I can plug this back up drive into my wife's machine, then import the old library into her machine.  How do I do this properly?
    3.  If I bring the old library into the new MacBook Pro hard drive, will it erase the existing iPhoto library on her new hard MacBook Pro hard drive, or will it combine them somehow?  She has added of course some pics to the new iPhoto library already, but if we have to delete them it won't kill us.  The old stuff that got recovered from the damaged drive is more important.
    Thanks ahead.....now to the experts?

    Thanks Terence.....
    regarding this point:
    3. use the paid version ($20) of  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the Libraries. that way you won't lose anything.
    I have another access to her new photos, whereby I could reload them onto her MacBook if we lose the new library.....so I'll save the $20 and just reload them.....two more questions:
    1.  So, if I drag the iPhoto library folder from the new back up hard drive to the Pictures Folder in Finder, will that overwrite the existing library folder on her MacBook?
    2.  After I drag this folder into finder, will iPhoto recognize everything?  I assume yes....just checking.
    thanks ahead!

  • Download new iphoto after yosemite installation

    Hello !
    I downloaded and installed Yosemite on my MacPro in October 2014.
    It was stated that my version of iPhoto should be "updated". Since then, I try to download it. The download status is still "pending."
    I started the process several times but it's always the same. Anyone has had this problem? What can I do? Is it possible to get the dmg otherwise? I bought my MacPro in 2009.
    Thanks in advance.

    Just in case you should still have problems after trying Larry's advice:
    iPhoto  may be hanging, because you are running out of storage - do you have at least 10GB of fee disk space?
    Are you signed in from an  administrator account?  If not, try that.
    Or something may be interfering with your connection to the App Store - anti virus software, a firewall. If you have any such software running, restart yor mac in Safe Mode and try reinstalling in this mode:  Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    If that does not help either, ask in the App Store forum.
