"Open Photos to see your photos in this list"

Since Photos supplanted iPhoto, my photos do not show up in open file dialogs boxes. Instead, I get the completely unhelpful and inaccurate message, "Open Photos to see your photos in this list."

See if Terence Devlin's suggestion in this post will let you obtain a working iPhoto for 10.10.3:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed

How to get rid of: Would You Like To See Your Photos on a Map?

Every single time I edit a photo in Aperture I get this annoying question: "Would you like to see your photos on a map?" Enable GPS tracking - yes or no. How can I get this pop-up screen permanently off of Aperture? Sometimes this causes Aperture to freeze and I have to force quit my computer.

I understand that I can do it manually but am not understanding how I should have answered the startup question.
Just open iPhoto, open the iPhoto preference, then go to the advanced tab. At the bottom of the window is a pull down for "Look Up Place". The start up questions just asked how you want this setting set. You can now use the pull down to change it to "Automatic" instead of Never.
Another place to check in preference is the tab for "Web". There is a check box for "Include location information for published photos". This tells iPhoto if you want the location information included when you upload photos to Flickr or other places that can read and display map info.

My iPhoto won't open. It says "Your photo library is either in use by another application or no longer readable." Please tell me I haven't lost all my pics?! I do not have them backed up. I have tried restarting my mac. Please Help!

What haven't you backed them up? You should always have a back up of any important material on your Mac. Make one now:
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
What version of iPhoto do you have?

HT2635 What does this mean? "I Photo cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your I photo library"

I cannot import my pictures and movies from a DVD - What does this mean when I get a computer message on my Mac -
"I photo cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your I photo library"

It means pretty much what it says - your HD is full.
This can arise because your HD is full - how big is your HD? How much free space on it?
Or it can be a mis-report due to to other issues.

There is any way to see your photos on iCloud. It can be Whatsapp and other apps photos too. Help me to find out?

You can browse it a little more easily with TextWranger. You can also search it:

See what happens when you restore a vault:

It actually renames your existing library and creates a new one.

When trying to open iPhoto I get: "Your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup."

I just installed a larger hard drive, and used my Time Machine Backup to transfer my info back to the new hard drive. When I open Iphoto, my thumnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos.I see the photos in my HD. What should I do

I just installed a larger hard drive, and used my Time Machine Backup to transfer my files back to the new hard drive. When I open Iphoto, my thumbnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos. I see the original photo files in my HD. Is there a way to link the Iphoto thumbnails back to the original files?

Use the Firewire cable and t boot the old Mac's hard drive to the new Mac's desktop and transfer your entire iPhoto folder.
Use Disk Utiliy to erase'format HFS+ Journaled your TimeMachine drive and use the free Carbon Copy Cloner and clone your new boot drive to the external, it's hold option bootable.

Unable to open iPhoto - message states 'your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable' Gone to 'Photo Library First Aid' but unsure of safest option as haven't backed up photos.

Can not open iPhoto in order to access pictures in library. I haven't backed up all my photos so I am concerned about loosing my pictures. what is the safest action to solve this problem?

Start by backing up now:

When opening links in a new tab there used to be dots surrounding the link (made it easy to see your place on a list), this is gone in Firefox 4. Can it be restored or simulated?

I open new tabs from a lot of links that are in lists. In Firefox the link would be surrounded by dots when I opened the new tab which made it easy to know where I was in the list if I had to get up or even look away from the screen. This is gone in Firefox 4 and it's really annoying to have to try to keep my place in the lists all of the time. Can this be fixed?

I don't see it on lists like this one: http://www.creationsrewards.net/m/default.asp
if I right click and open in a new tab. It will work if I open link in a foreground tab but then it will switch to the opened tab then and I want to stay on the list page not switch to the tab page.
I am not technical enough with Firefox to understand the page that you sent. Can you explain what do if this can be fixed? If not are you able to pass it on to a programmer so it can be fixed on a coming revision?

"Open iPhoto 5 or higher to see photos from iPhoto Library in this list" ??

This is a huge problem because I was in the middle of making a slideshow and then all of a sudden when I tried to choose a photo to put in the slideshow, it said "Open iPhoto 5 or higher to see your photos from your iPhoto Library in this list."
The problem is, is that I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6 and that's definitely higher than iPhoto 5, if I'm not mistaken. I'm trying to upload a video on my facebook profile and it says the same thing. What do I do?
This is what it looks like:

Two common causes of this issue:
Is there a photo cd in your disk drive. If so, eject it and try again.
Otherwise this can be a symptom of a damaged database:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Z10 - How to make the built in Photo app see photos on the SD Ram

Hi,
Was using my Z10 for recording video when it reported memory problems.. No problem. I baught it a 64 GIG SD ram to address any memory problems.. Perfect, all photos and videos now go to the SD ram.. BUT.....
Neither the photos nor the videos appear in the lists of content in either the built in Photo application nor the Videos application. To see them I have to go to File Manager and view files stored on the SD ram were they have been recorded as expected and can be seen. Often when you go to see a video or picture in the File Manager to view a photo or video, no thumbnail of the photo is present! instead you get a generic icon that the file is a photo and you have to open it to see what photo or video it is. It isn't until some time after the thumbnails are properly updated. It also puts both photos and videos in the Camera folder on the SD ram instead of the associated folders on the SD.
I was at the telus store while 2 telus reps struggling to find any way to get the photo app or the video app to display the SD ram content. They commented that Blackberry indicates it supports up to 32gig in SD ram but the fact that it is recording and retrieving properly indicates 64 gigs works too at least for this purpose.
The Question: How does one tell the Photo and Video app to display camera data on the SD ram?
Thanks,
The Manx

I've had issues with the 64gb cards also, one worked and another did exactly as you described.
Some users have had to format the 64gb card to FAT32 to make it work.

How can I see the photos stored on my icloud

Please forgive my near-total ignorance. I searched different forums for a while and could not find a straightforward answer.
I have an Ipad 2. My photos get uploaded to the iCloud. Great. iCloud gets full. Ipad settings show that my photos take up 4 out of 5 gb of storage
on iCloud.
I would like to see WHICH photos are on my iCloud.
How do I access iCloud - either via Ipad or PC?
I tried the www interface (www.icloud.com) - photos are not available for viewing there.
I tried iCloud Photo Stream for Window Vista - no luck either, as it only showed ca. 6 photos from my Photo Stream, nothing else.
How can I see what is in my iCloud???

Photo stream photos don't use any of your iCloud storage. The storage for these is provided by Apple free of charge. You can see what photos are in your photo stream by opening the Photos app on your iPad, tap Abums at the bottom, then tap My Photo Stream. These are not viewable on icloud.com.
The only photos that use your iCloud storage are photos in your camera roll, which are included in your iCloud backup by default, assuming you are backing your iPad up to iCloud.

HT4858 how do i see what photos i have saved onto my icloud it wont let me look

how do i find what pictures i have saved onto my icloud??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't see your photo stream photos from iCloud.com, if this is what you are asking.
You need to log into your Apple ID on a computer or iOS device and view your photos from the photo app/application there.

I would like to see my photos on iCloud. Which way can I reach?

I would like to see my photos on iCloud. Which way can I reach?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can see your photos on any device using your ID and photo stream.
If you want to see them in a web browser you need to create a shared photo stream album and make it public.
