Non-compatible iPhoto problem

I am running OS 10.6.8 on my Mac Pro.
I have OS 10.7 on my other hard drive but I prefer to use 10.6.8.
I recently download an Apple software update & it installed a version of iPhoto which is only compatible with 10.7 & has therefore stopped working.
I searched the net for a workaround to no avail - lots of advise - nothing worked.
Any thoughts?
Not keen on 10.7 & I don't want to be forced into using it.
And is Apple losing it?
How could they not have an interlock which would exclude non-comparible APPLE software being installed in place of something that works or are they trying to force conformity.

You mention two machines but you don't say which one stopped working. Neither do you say what "stopped working" means. Nor do you tell us what software update you downloaded, for what app, nor from where.

Please give us a full list of the various things you've tried. That way we won't waste our time - and yours - making suggestions you already know won't work.
No, Apple is not losing it, far as I can see.
Perhaps your last paragraph will make sense when you explain your problem in more detail. That said, 10.6 is currently 2 iterations behind current of the OS and soon to be 3.

Especially check the dock connector on the bottom and blow out any lint or dust and pray there is no corrosion. Maybe try the plug in the headset and unplug it trick a few times as well.

Can I avoid Iphoto problems in upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks?

I've read that upgrading to Mavericks involves problems with Iphoto. I have an older version of Iphoto (7.1.5). Should I upgrade to a newer version of Iphoto BEFORE I upgrade to Mavericks? If so, do I have a choice and to what version? Is there any reasonable way to avoid IPhoto difficulties in moving to Mavericks?

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1.

Upgrading iPhoto problems

I have an older iMac running Maverick and iPhoto 7.1.5. I tried upgrading to the new version. Failed. Then I tried getting iPhoto 8 and that failed too. Do I need to purchase the new iPhoto?

Nokia N70 connected in non compatible mode

First here are some facts: Im Using Pc Suite v6.83 on Windows XPsp2. Im using USB cable to connect to my N70.
Now here's the problem: The first time I used PC Suite after Installation, it worked fine. When I used it again the second time, it acted strangely. It didn't detect my phone correctly. It detected the N70 alright, but a baloon popped up from the PC suite Icon on the system tray saying "nokia n70 connected in non compatible mode". Then when I went to the Get Connected wizard, a warning popped up which says "Your phone is in file transfer mode and connot be used with PC suite. quit file transfer mode from the phone if you want to use PC suite". I wonder how could this be since I know that the N70 has no file transfer mode.
Then after finally having my phone detected correctly after diconnecting then connecting the USb cable, my system detected the phone as a digital camera imaging device and as a mass storage device, showing up in windows explorer aside from showing up in the Nokia Phone browser. I Don't think this is a normal bahaviour.
Then the third time I tried to use PC suite, it detected the phone as bing in in non compatible mode again. Yhis time disconnecting and reconnecting the USb cable didn't help.
I found some strange things in the windows device manager too. I found out that under portable device, the N70 was there but disabled and labled as not properly working.
Have you guys encounterd this prblem before? If you did maybe you can help me resolve it. Thanks in advance!

Connected in a non-compatible USB mode?

Well, first of all, I guess I should "howdy from a newbie"
I bought my Lumia 820 a few days back, and after having a few set-up quirks, things seem to be going quite well.
I can only see one problem left, and that's as the title suggests, and was wondering if you guys would be able to help with that one.
When I connect the phone up to the PC (running Windows XP SP3), and having Nokia Suite 3.6.36 running, it comes up telling me that the phone is 'connected in a non-compatible USB mode', preventing me from doing anything in Nokia Suite.
Any clues as to what I would need to do to correct this please?

I got this far with this problem:
When i connect the phone to the PC (USB DKE2) after setting the USB-mode to datatransfer (menu / settings / connectivity / usb) the PS Suite icon in the systemtray reports "non-compatible mode" or something like that. Leaving the phone physically connected and switching USBmode to PCSuite, then PCSuite works OK. But I can't get connected in data transfer mode.
Anyone?

check the pc suite version you have.The latest is 7.1 and new phones wouldnt be supported by older versions of pc suite like 6.84.If you're using older version it will give such message.

Nokia 5310 connected in a non compatible USB mode

Hi , I have tried to connect my nokia 5310 to my computer in printing & media apps mode for use with Nokia music site , but each time I keep getting "connected in a non compatible USB mode " .
When I connect to Nokia PC suite there is no problem.
I have the latest PC suite installed .
Can someone help , please !

did you try the pc suite mode in order to use the nokia music? that might actually work for you or mass media either one of those might work better than 'print' mode
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Connected in a non compatible USB mode! Nokia 5310...

Aghhhhhhhhhhh.................. please can someone help me. I have been able to transfer music to my phone with no problems until yesterday. When I plugged in the USB cable to put a new album on my phone, I chose the usual printing and media option, and a sign comes up on my PC saying that my phone is connected in a non compatible USB mode and I cant transfer any music over. Thats not all, I spoke to one of the "TECH" guys at nokia and he told me to format my memory card on the phone, so i did this. Now I have NO music on my phone and it still says the same damn thing!!!!! When I plug my phone to the PC it opens it like a normal memory card! Has anyone any idea what the hells goin on? Do I need a new memory card, is my phone stuffed or has my PC just decided not to work with Nokia phones anymore?
Any help would be much apreciated.

The message about the incompatible mode is from PC Suite, and you should see it when you connect in mas storage or media transfer modes. As long as you are using Nokia Music Store application and it recognises the phone (ie: the phone name is shown next to the phone icon on the left of the screen) then you shoul be able to use the Nokia Music to transfer music in media transfer mode.
If you are not using Nokia Musioc, connect in Mass Storage mode and you can copy music between the PC and phone just as you copy between different folders in the PC. However, if your music is DRM-copyright protected you can't use this method and will need to use either Nokia Music or Windows Media Player in media transfer mode.
Because you've reformatted the card, it is completely blank, so when you start up various apps in the phone they will re-establish their correct file structures so after usage the behaviour of the phone will become more 'normal' as you know it.

PC Suite detecting in 'non-compatible' mode

I updated the PC Suite today. Now the PC Suite fails to connect to E71 in PC Suite mode. It keeps saying the phone has been connected in 'non-compatible mode'.

i doubt it is the USB ports. I have troubleshot an item ee'ons ago and it was once, i heard from a fat cousin, the usb port...let me know if that works.
i am having the same problem. im on windows xp 32 bit home, fw 410.21.010 e71-2. anyway, after many reinstalls, i have solved the problem a little in the sense that after uninstalling everything, and using the pcsuite cleaner and uninstalling ovi music and everything to do with ovi and pcsuite and cable drivers from my xp uninstall function and then going to the regedit and deleting from the CURRENT USER and LOCAL MACHINE, anything to do with nokia and pc connectivitiy cables, and then using ccleaner to clean everything and then a reboot and reinstall of the latest pc suite, DO NOT INSTALL THE 'UPDATE PHONE SOFTWARE' manager. i dont know how the phone is going to check for new FW, but for now, i can use pcsuite and will worry about updating the fw if and when nokia releases anything new, in the future. i took this opportunity to make better sense of my contacts and calendar and have set the sync function so i can sync with ovi - my contacts, calendar, notes.
pc has been very unreliable for me and my two e71's and e65.

IVI Sharded Components non compatible avec 64-BIT Windows XP?

Bonjour,
Je voudrais savoir si IVI Sharded Components est compatible avec 64-BIT Windows XP ou non ?
J'ai déjà cherché sur votre forum et votre dernière publication sur ce sujet date de 2010 : http://forums.ni.com/t5/Multifunction-DAQ/Probleme-installing-with-64-bit-Windows-XP/td-p/1174459
Pouriez vous me donner une nouvelle solution qui me permettrer de rester sous Windows X et non de basculer sur XPVista ou Windows 7?
Merci

Bonjour,
En théorie, les applications sont compatibles, avec une reserve sur l'appel de fonctions natives à un système d'exploitation (par exemple, via CVI, si vous appeles avec un lien statique que des fonctions issues de DLL natives de Windows, il se peut que vous ayez des problèmes).
Si vous travaillez avec LabVIEW, il ne devrait pas y avoir d'issues majeures (le support officiel de Windows 7 se fait à partir de la version 2009 de LabVIEW). A choisir entre Vista et Win 7, je vous conseille fortement Windows 7: L'OS est plus stable et sa fonction d'emulation de Windows XP lui permet en plus de faire fonctionner des programmes théoriquement non compatibles avec le système d'exploitation).

Yet its fine on my laptop and I'm able to connect succesfully. So why is it OK on the laptop but not on the Desktop? Both O/S are Win Vista Home Premium and are up to date with service packs etc/.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
Here are the different scenarios.
-If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
-If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
-If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
-If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
-If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
-If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
-If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
What I can do:
- I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
-I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
-I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message. I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
-If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail. If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

Another problem that may be related….
I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location. Please choose a different location." I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard. I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.

IPhoto problem: pixillation and photo duplication

iPhoto problem: intermittently getting banded pixilation when viewing photos; iPhoto randomly duplicats entire libraries so that they fill up my memory. Suspect I will have to reinstall iPhoto. Using iPhoto '09 ver 8.1.2 under OS 10.6.8.

Possible hardware issue
iPhoto randomly duplicats entire libraries so that they fill up my memory.
Duplicates Photos within a Library, or creates duplicates Libraries?
Memory as in Ram? Or Disk Space?
