Photo booth cannot access my iPhoto library. Can you tell me why please?

I am trying to access my photo library through photo booth. It asks me to "choose existing" and then user, photos. I can see my iPhoto library there but I am not able to click and access it. Could anyone tell me why please?

PhotoBooth and iPhoto has totally separate libraries and neither can access the other's library - there is nothing common between the two programs -- use iPhoto to access your iPhoto library

Cannot access my iPhoto Library

Cannot access my iPhoto Library. I have tried rebuilding the library and even moved my library back to my local hdd (as it was on an external hdd), but I still cannot access my iPhoto library. I can create a new library so I believe the software is ok.
Repair the iPhoto Library (check); Recover orphaned photos in the iPhoto Library folder (check); Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions (check).
I have tried each box in Rebuilding Photo Library, even Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup as I do have a backup system.
Two events took place that may have caused the issue: 1) My external drive was repaired due to some error(s) found on the drive 2) I changed the Computer Name.
Below is a screen shot of what happens in opening up iPhoto. After the initial indication that it is rebuilding something, it goes to this continous circular rotation. But again no access to the library.
Conclusion: I have my iPhoto library on two disks (local and an external HDD), but cannot access either one.

Called Apple and was awarded a "one-time only" support for my issue for which i was excited to save $49. The culprit was the "DataModelVersion.plist" For some reason it was blank. Copied the same file from the new library I had created and then choose "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" and it began doing its thing of rebuilding. The only loss was having to re-organize 1200 photos from an event called "Recovered Project" which contained photos from my latest additions and renames.
Thanks for the suggestion Terrence on the iPhoto Library Manager...I had seen that you had recommended that in times past. For now, I'm glad the solution only "cost" a few hours on a free tech support with Senior Advisor.

Can you tell me why iPad 2 is not cannot to laptop with snow Leopard it doesn't cannot it

Can you tell me why iPad 2 is not cannot to laptop with snow Leopard it doesn't cannot it

You question is garbled. Are you saying your iPad cannot connect to a laptop with Snow Leopard? Restart your computer. Start iTunes and check for updates. If there are any updates to itunes download and install it. Then restart your computer and start iTunes.
Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
Finally connect your iPad to your computer. Use a USB on your computer that is not on the keyboard or connected to a hub.
If you do these things and it still doesn't show up in iTunes on your computer report back here and explain clearly just what happened.

About 5 days ago for no apparent reason at all, about
7000 songs which i have collected over a number of
years has just decided that it wont play in ITUNES or
in any other of my media players. When you click on
Play over a song nothing happens. The play icon
doesnt even come up on the screen.
Steps I have taken so far are:
1 - Remove all tracks from ITUNES and then re-add the
folder where all the songs are. This has obviously
removed all songs, but when I have re-added the
folder , it has added about 650 tracks back on to the
playlist. These 650 tracks will play. This leaves
approx 6400 tracks that it wont play.
By the way all the songs on my PC are MP3 type and I
have had no problem playing any of them until last
week.
2 - I have re-installed ITUNES and reinstalled
Quicktime and that has not worked.
3 - All of my songs are backed up on to a External
Hard Drive. I have tried to restore the songs and
also play them directly from the external hard drive.
I get the same problem when I do this.
4 - I have enabled and allowed all permissions for
the account that I am running the PC from.
I am guessing there must be some settnig or Registry
Key that is blocking me playing the tracks from the
PC. I have also tried to launch the songs in Media
Player and Sonic stage but thsi has not played
either.
All the tracks are in the folder structure as they
were before so I know they are there. I just need to
somehow unlock them.......
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful as
I dont want to lose my entire music collection.
Also I cannot find anyweher on here that is a Support
number or email address for Apple as this is an
ITUNES issue and they should be resolving it for
me!!!!
Thanks

HT4101 can you tell me why my 64gb sanddisk card can not be read by my ipad ?

can you tell me why my 64gb sanddisk card can not be read by my ipad ?

I assume that it's an SD card of some sort ? If it's an SDXC card then how is it formatted - from the page that you posted from :
Here are the supported SD cards and image-transfer protocols:
Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP)
Mass Storage Device protocol
SDSC
SDHC
miniSD
microSD
MMC
SDXC (supported only when not formatted as ExFAT)
If it's not formatted as ExFAT then how did the photos get onto the card ? If you copied them onto it yourself then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them

I want to maintain Safari 10.6.8 on my computer and then install Maverick on a separate internal drive so I can run new FCPX software and maintain the older OS for my older software versions. Can you tell me how please?

I see an upgrade path from Safari but don't want to change that and would like to be able boot from Maverick when needed.
Is this possible and how?
Thank you!

On the Apple site I see an upgrade path but not from scratch. I will use my current systems and then it place a complete install of Maverick on the other drive to boot from?
Thank you!

Hello. When i'm trying to change my background, it just all freeze. Can you tell me why?

When i'm trying to change my background, it just all freeze. I had tryed to turn the computer off, and it still just freeze in the background setting. Can you tell me why?

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource

I cannot access my iPhoto library?

I am unable to access my iPhoto library. It appears as though it has been deleted or something, however it hasn't? I can access the blue iPhoto folder, but the only thing that comes up in it is the acknowledgements. Also, I am able to access my pictures through my documents, and when I am uploading an image to a site, such as Facebook, I am able to access the iPhoto program, but only briefly when I am uploading the photo(s). I'm not sure if that made absolutely any sense at all, but this has been very frustrating and it would be fantastic if I could get some feedback. Thank you!

LarryHN is correct. I would also suggest completing your profile detaling what hardware you have because answers or even suggestion often depend on what device you are using.
There is however something you might like to try before you reply.
You could run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive. It's possible that Disk Utilility will identify an error somewhere and offer to fix it, or suggest ways to fix it.
If no problems are identified, again using Disk Utility, try repairing 'Permissions'. It might also help to restart your Mac holding down the Shift key the moment that you hear the chime. Continue holding the Shift key down until you see the spinnning gear wheel.
Your Mac will now be starting up into 'Safe mode'. This time it will be clearing out certain temorary file files that may have become corrupted and the Mac will take a little longer to start up. But you needn't worry because this will be normal and you will shortly get to the usual Login screen.
When you get to log in screen you will see 'Safe mode' or 'Safe boot' at the top right of the screen. No need to go any further. Just restart normally.
Is it okay now?
No? Well it's possible that the HDD directory may have become damaged in some way that Disk Utility is unable to itself fix. In which case I would suggest getting hold of a copy of Disk Warrior from Alsoft. This may cost you a few pence though. Visit their website for a description of the problems it solves and give it some consideration.
Yes, I do use Disk Warrior myself. I am just a customer of theirs though. I use DW every few months to optimise my Mac HDD directory. DW has saved my bacon several times since i first used it with my old PowerMac 6500/300 many years ago.

I purchased a tune from the store last night, it was 59 pence, after checking my bank account I found that £1.58 has been taken out can annybody tell me why please.

I purchased a music track from the store that was 59 pence, after checking my account I found that £1.58 had been taken out. Can anybody tell me why, this is the first time I have used the store, also does the track automatically transfer to your Iphone ...

If you just entered in your credit card, the ITunes Store will put a small credit hold on the account to verify that the card is correct. This charge will be automatically reversed by your bank in a couple of days. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
The track will automatically be downloaded to your iPhone if you sync the iPhone to iTunes or have "automatically download" set in the iPhone's settings.

I cannot access my iPhoto library after Photos took over.

I have read a number earlier postings and potential solutions (without effect), but somehow am unable to access my large iPhoto library with the iPhoto program? I made a copy (..after Photo's update) on an external HD but iPhoto can access neither this copy nor the former original library folder. Photos looks fine but I need the simple ability to 'name' the photograph upon export whereas Photos simply uses the camera-given file name. Is there a removal tool for Photos? I'd appreciate any help thanks.
Jim

Are you using this menu option after selecting the photo to export?
which takes you to this window
and finally to this window

Upgraded to iPhoto 6/iLife and cannot access my iPhoto Library - help!!!

I upgraded to iPhoto 6 tonight and ran sofware update so I was sure to have the latest version. Went to open it and it said I needed to upgrade my Library. So I start the upgrade of the library and it goes all the way through till it gets to "examining photo Library" Then when it looks like it is almost finished, a window pops up and says that there is a problem accessing one or more files in my photo library folder and goes through directions to go in the finder and check to be sure permissions are all set to read and write.
I cannot figure out how to find the locked file.
Please Help!!!
Thanks.
imac g4 20" Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The first thing you want to do is quit iPhoto, select your iPhoto Library in the Finder, and Get Info. Under Ownership and Permissions, click the triangle to show its expanded form.
If you are the owner and have read and write permissions, you will be able to click a button that says "Apply to enclosed items". Once you've entered your password, all items inside the library will have the right permissions.
If you're still getting the message, then some file inside is locked. I have no idea how they get that way, but iPhoto can't upgrade your library if a file is locked.
In your Applications/Utilities/ folder, launch Console and then launch iPhoto and get the message. Console should indicate which files are locked. Go to each of those files in the Finder, and Get Info on each. Uncheck the box that says "Locked" for each file listed in Console (there are usually only a couple or so).
Launch iPhoto again and it should work fine.

I cannot access my iphoto library on my external Hard drive

Hello,
I backed up my iphoto library to an external hard drive. Now when I try to access it, all I get are dotted outlines where the pictures should be and then when I click on a the dotted outline it gives me an exclamation mark in a triangle. Help! I hope I haven't lost all my photos!

i also had to copy the iphoto library to another 2nd external hard drive (because the first one stopped working)
Whatt does "stopped working" mean? If there is damage to a diks then there is a certain risk to material stored on it.
Has it ever worked on the second disk? If not then there are two places this can go wrong: the library damaged when the original disk went down or the process of copying may have not completed properly.
