Not able to open Iphoto

Hello
I have a Powerbook G4 (MAC OS X 10.4.11) and my Iphoto is 5.0.4
I've had a message when trying to open Iphoto, and I haven't downloaded anything (other than updates suggested by the computer).
The message is "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of Iphoto. Please quit and upgrade this library by opening it in Iphoto 2 or Iphoto 4"
Why is this happening ? Does this mean that I'm not going to recover all my pics??
Any help is much appreciated.

Your photos are most likely perfectly safe. This is a problem with the database file, not your pictures.
This message sometimes occurs when there's a photo CD in the disk drive. If you have one there, eject it and try again.
Otherwise 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. It won't make anything worse, because it just makes a new library and your old one is left untouched.

  • Downloaded Mavericks and now not able to open iPhoto

    Downloaded Mavericks and now why am I not able to open iphoto?

    Not obvious enough.  Why separate the two??  Oh well, it's done, and I'm happy.
    I take your point. Mail.app is in the Applications folder alongside iphoto.app, however some are in the OS and some are not.   What I meant was it should be obvious that after an upgrade you either wait for the update notices, or run Software Update after an OS upgrade, not before. Taking a Time Machine backup before upgrading the OS is also essential but missed by many.
    You can leave the suggestion at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html  to include reminders in the How to Upgrade and during an upgrade. Apple will not reply but will take notice.

  • I am not able to open iPhoto, when I have used the iPhoto Library Manager, I get the message that "the iPhoto Library folder could not be found" Help!

    Help!  I can't open the iPhoto!  I have os x 10.5.8 and I have tried using the iPhoto Library Manager only to find out that the folder for the iPhoto Library could not be found.
    I have also tried the Fix #1 from the user Old Toad who said to delete the preference file :com.appleiPhoto.plist - I could do that, but I couldn't figure out how to delete iPhoto's cache fie, Cache.db because I couldn't find it?  I'm not sure how to find the file by it's directory path name of HD/User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto .
    Help is very much appreciated!

    Download and use  Find Any File  to search for "Library6.iPhoto".  It's a file that is present in every iPhoto library.  If you don't find one on your hard drive then your library has gone missing entirely. 
    Another thing you can try is to use the Search For - All Images feature in the Finder window to see if you can see any of your photos.
    That will tell you if they are on your hard drive but somewhere other than the library.
    What do you see when you insert the DVD into the optical drive?  Can you open it and any folders on the disk?  If the disk is titled iPhoto Library  then open the disk, the the iPhoto Library folder and finally the Originals folder.  Check the subfolders to see if your photos are there.
    Your original photo files will be in the Originals subfolders.

  • Photos app in my mac is not able to open the iPhoto library from my external hard disk.

    I am using iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013) OS 10.10.3. i have 2 iPhoto library one on my Mac HD and the other on my External HD which i primarily use and which has all the latest photos in it. Now with the new update to photos app in Mac i am not able to open the iPhoto library from my external HD. I get the following error message please help.  

    i am not able to open the iPhoto library from my external HD
    How is the external HD formatted? Is the filesystem MAcOS Extended (Journaled) as necessary?
    Is theHD directly connected or by a networked connection?
    Have you tried to set the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" flag?
    See how to prepare the drive for storing an iPhoto Library on it in this document: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    Which version of iPhoto created the library? If it was iPhoto 7.1.2 or earlier, download and run the iPhoto Library upgrader.

  • I am not able to open my iPhoto. I get an error message saying it is locked

    I am not able to open my iPhoto. I get an error message saying it is locked. How do I unlock it?

    This issue can be caused by sharing the photo library on a network (against Apple's advice) or by opening it in more than one local user account at the same time. You may be able to clear the error by logging out or restarting the computer. If not, do as follows.
    Quit iPhoto if it's running, locally or on any file-sharing client. Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Usually it's in the Pictures folder, but you may have moved it somewhere else. Right-click or control-click the library icon and select
    Show Package Contents
    from the popup menu. In the folder that opens, navigate to
    Database/apdb/lockfile.pid
    and move that file, if it exists, to the Trash. Close the Finder window.

  • Iphoto 9 is not able to open just imported pictures

    the new installed and upgraded iphoto (8.0.4) ist not able to open pictures, they are just importet from a panasonic dmc-fx07 ore a sony dsc-w55. the thumbs of the imported pictures are indicated, but after doubleclick them, there is only a big note of exclamation shown.
    i'dont have any problems to show all the pictures i had imported before with iphoto 8.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Not able to open Modal Page through a report attribute link

    Dear All,
         Not able to open Modal Page through a report attribute link, kindly help me...
      I am using skill builders modal page plugin ...
    Thanks and Regards,
    Madonna

    Here's what you have to do.
    You set up your column link like this:
    Link text: whatever you like
    Link attributes: onclick="return false;" class="open_modal"
    Target: Page in this application
    Page: number of the page you want to open in your modal window
    You set up your dynamic action like this:
    Event: Click
    Selection type: jQuery selector
    jQuery selector: .open_modal
    (notice the dot at the beginning!)
    Action: SkillBuilders Modal Page (2.0.0) [Plug-in]
    Event Scope: Dynamic
    And finally, in your True Action (SkillBuilders Modal Page (2.0.0)), URL Location should be set as Attribute of Triggering Element.
    And that's pretty much all it takes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Not able to open SharePoint 2010 Site in SharePoint Designer 2010

    Hi all,
    I have SharePoint 2010 Environment and when I try to open the site in SharePoint Designer with the regular URL (https://xyz.com)
    some time i am getting error "'The server sent a response which SharePoint Designer could not parse. If you are trying to connect to a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation server, check with the server's administrator to make sure Microsoft
    Foundation is installed properly" and some time its work fine and open the site without any issue... but when i try to open the site with the internal URL like (http://Servername:Port) it work perfectly.
    Even i am not able to open the custom workflow in SharePoint designer whenever i am able to open the site with my regular URL (https://xyz.com) and getting error "Failed to load the configuration file for the workflow", but with
    the Internal URL (http://Servername:Port) i am able to open that workflow without any issue.
    Please suggest!!!

    Hi NaveenKSah,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you opened AAM url of a site with SharePoint 201o Designer.
    Please try to add <remove verb="*" path="*.asmx" /> after <httpHandlers> in the site web.config file, compare the result.
    Note: before changing the web.config file, please make a backup for the file.
    More information, please refer to the link:

  • Not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
    if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
    Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
    Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
    once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
    once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
    right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
    Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
    Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask.

    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Not able to open existing process chains in BW development

    Hello Experts,
      I am not able to open my existing process chains in development, actually I would like to schedule the process chain but I couldnt do that becoz of above reason. While opneing I am getting pop-up message as " Choose a change request with target system/CONSOL/". I reported this issue to Basis but they told it is not an issue at all
    I need to resolve this asap.
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    Roger,
    For the time being you can create a transport, but indicate that it shouldn't be transported.
    Then you will be able to work with the process chain.
    Just be sure to delete the transport so it doesn't get moved to production on accident.

  • Not able to open web analysis reports after upgradation

    we have upgraded Hyperion 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 version, after this process we are not able to open web analysis reports
    These reports are still pointing to old servers so, how to edit this database connection details in the new version??
    Edited by: 1007326 on May 22, 2013 3:29 AM

    Hi,
    Welcome to Forums...!
    I think we need to change the database connection details in the Web analysis.
    goto file --> Edit --> browse the database connection then change the server name in the connection details.
    may be this will help to resolve your issue.
    Thanks,
