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

New Iphoto wont open after downloading Yosemite

I updated my 2010 Macbook Pro with Yosemite. Then I downloaded the new Iphoto from the App Store. The new iphoto is completely unresponsive and my old iphoto has a white circle with a line through it. Help!

What version of iPhoto did you have? Probably you need to drag it to the trash and then install 9.6 - if you have iPhoto '08 or earlier you ned to download and un the iPhoto library updater before launching the new iPhoto

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.

Imovie wont open after mavricks update

I movie wont open after updating to mavricks. help?

Many people have been having the same problems this week because of he update. Someone on the forum mentioned uninstalling "Bonjour". +Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network - Wikipedia.+ If you have never needed it uninstall it. You could also try typing "MSCONFIG" in the Run selection under the accessories folder and un-checking it under the "Services" tab.
I personally have had the same problems. What i did was i un-checked it on the MSCONFIG menu first and then uninstalled Bonjour.
Hope all this helps

IPhoto not opening after Yosemite upgrade

After upgrading to Yosemite, iPhoto now will not load. It says: "In order to open “iPhoto.app”, you need to update to the latest version." However, when I try to bring up the app store and upgrade to the newest version of iPhoto, it will not let me. The button that would typically allow me to download the new version only says "open." And clicking on that button doesn't do anything - literally, I click it and nothing happens. I am using OS X 10.10.1 and it appears as though the iPhoto app (according to what is listed in the Applications folder, I cannot open the program to see if it correlates) version is 9.4.3. Thanks in advance for your help.

Please start a new thred or or new problem - click on New to the right of the iphoto support communities banner at the top

Iphoto wont open after system upgrade and iLife install

I installed Leopard and reallized i had to also buy iLife because the old version of iphoto was not supported by the the new operating system. Installed iLife and everything works exept iphoto. It acts as though it is "loading library" and then a pop-up window shows up saying:
"The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iphoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previouse versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library."
I have hit "upgrade". But it still does not open.
I have about 9000 photos saved on an external drive.
I have repaired permissions as well as trashed iphoto and re-installed.
I read similar posts and am tempted to create a new library with library photo manager but am affraid i will lose some of my pictures.
I should include that because I couldn't open after the os update, I went into the my photo folders through finder and added new pix that I needed to get off of my camera. I've sinced trashed those folders.
Any ideas?
THanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Thanks for the heads up on the out of date screenshot of BatChmod. It's been updated now. If all you your efforts to get your library updated and running fail you might try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It creates a new library based on the data in the AlbumData.xml file and leaves your current library untouched. Here's how that would work:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My itunes wont open after i updated to windows 8

i am so disappointed , been trying to download itunes so many times but it just wont open up. At first i thought because i decided to use English for language but then i downloaded it in Japanese its the same thing. So until when do we have to wait until you fix your own invention.

Hi eshylovesjiggy,
If you are having an issue with iTunes on your Windows machine, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Windows 7, but the steps should be similar in Windows 8):

Iphoto wont open after the latest update

I did the latest update from Apple and now my iPhoto won't open. It says it supported on this type of Mac. I've been using it for 2 years!! What do I need to do?

What did you update? What iPhoto do you have?
If you updated to Mavericks from a previous Mac OS X then you have to upgrade iPhoto to 9.5.1 as the prior versions will not run with Mavericks.

Iphoto wont open after download

I downloaded this new Yosemite OS X or something and now my iPhoto is greyed out with an X telling me the app is not availble in the US yet???

With MacOS X 10.10.3 you need iPhoto 9.6.1.
Which version of iPhoto do you have installed? Did you buy it from the AppStore? 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.
