Photo library won't open after iOS 5 update

I updated both my iPod Touch and iPhone 4 to the new iOS 5.0 right after it was released. I initially noticed that my library of photos would not fully sync to both products but I remedied that by manually clicking each photo album I have available via iTunes. Now I'm noticing that when I try to open my Photo Library in either the iPod or iPhone, it takes noticable time to do so. I have a little over 16,000 pictures on each one.
In addition, once i applied the updates, I found that certain album art from my iTunes music would not display on either the iPod or iPhone. However, the album art is showing inside iTunes. Incidentally, this seems to only affect albums that have duplicate songs from the same album.
Any thoughts or ideas ?

Have you tried closing the Phot Booth app completelyand seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Photo Booth 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photo Booth app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

ITunes won't open after OS update to Yosmite

ITunes won't open after OS update, ITunes has been updated, it won't open or bounce. It will not allow me to move it to trash or reinstall it. I have already updated to OS X Yosmite two times as directed by apple, I have rebooted in safe made as well as Command/Option/P/R before start up. I have opened console/system log to see if there is anything going on but when I click on Itunes nothing happens, not even so much as half a line of script. I'm stumped. If I wanted someone to tell me to turn it off and on again I'd just watch IT Crowd. please help

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
If you head into your applications folder and locate iTunes. Right click iTunes and show package contents. In there there will be a contents folder --> MacOS --> double click on the iTunes terminal icon. This should force iTunes to open via a terminal window and at the very least it will tell you what it is getting stuck on.

My iTunes won't open after last update.

My iTunes won't open after last update. Can anybody help me?

I had similar problem this time and last time when I upgrade/update iTune, and subsequently solved the problem through the help of this person. You may give it a try and see if this works for you. It works for me now and then. Good luck.

Aperture library won't open after using new iphoto

My Aperture library won't open after accidently using iphoto to view it. It says Aperture is outdated but I run 3.4.5 version which is the last.
Now I CAN'T DO MY WORK thanks to this lunacy.
Anyone any suggestions how to fix this ****?

Also one more thing
On the MacBook Air - Where aperture is working fine and loading the library, i tried to change the name of the library and then when I tried to open it it shouted with the error ""Error Opening Library--The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again""
But when I changed the name back it was working fine again on the MacBook AIr
Should i be worried that when i look at the get info on my library it says it's an aperture library 3.5.1 ?

- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?

Library won't open after ML upgrade

My iPhoto library won't open. I click on the icon, and it will try to start iphoto, and will say that it unexpectedly quit a couple of times. Then it will finally pull up a balloon= asking me if i want to open the windows that were open when it crashed. Wither way, THe library won't show up, adn when I tell it to change to my iPhoto library, it does nothing. This started happenning as soon as I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have run system update, and am running the latest version of all my software.
Please help.

I had a similar problem, after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my (2008) MBP with iPhote form iLife'09 on it, it said it couldn't open the database because changes had been made to it with a newer version of iPhoto (?). After trying lots of things, like restoring the library from Time Machine again (first time I used the migration assistant), I finally found my solution: upgrade iPhoto to 8.1 first, using
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL885
Mystically, at first my MBP didn't want to run the update, said the developer was not to be trusted (???), I had to change my security settings temporarily to make it run software 'from any source', but that did the trick. I can now use my old iPhoto from iLife'09 again. Hope it helps for you as well.

Applications won't open after software update

after i installed an automatic software update on my iBook G4, and did the restart, several applications won't open such as Safari, iTunes, iChat. I tried to reinstall the software update, but that won't open either. it just jumps up and down like normal, and then won't open. after i try again, it jumps only once. what the heck is happening??? and i'm not very computer smart so dumb it up for me

Hello, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

3.4.2 Aperture library won't open after 3.4.3 update

I have two libraries...the old (archive) library updated with the 3.4.3 update, but my new primary in another location did not. Now when I try to open the new library (3.4.2) I get a message stating that I need:
"To import this iPhoto library in Aperture, it first needs to be upgraded. Verify that you have iPhoto 9.4 or later. Then open the library in iPhoto to upgrade it."
I dont have 9.4 and cannot figure this out...
Please help!

Léonie,
After it started working again, the library will not open despite being upgraded to version 3.4.3.
Its giving me the same error message:
Suggestions?

Iphoto won't open after latest update

Just upgraded to latest iphoto using software update & also latest OS update (10.8.2) & tried to open iphoto & it said that there have been 'inconsistencies in your library' detected & needed to repair library database. It tries to do then then crashes & crashes every time I try to re-open. It tries to repair library but never opens, even after repairing.
Any suggestions please?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

ITunes won't open after I updated to 8.0.1

Hello,
Here's a little background on what's been going with itunes before the recent problem. These past couple weeks I've tried to update my itunes to 8.0.1 through the Apple Software Update. It never worked and at the end of the process it would tell me to try again or do it manually. Also, I downloaded two new videos today that were already in the correct format. I added it to the itunes library with no problem and tried to convert the videos to the correct format just incase it wasn't. It gave me the message that the video was already in the correct format. When I tried to sync it with my ipod it told me the videos weren't in the correct format.
Ok so for the overall the main problem right now is itunes won't open at all. I manually downloaded the update and I restarted the laptop after I finished updating itunes. Since then, itunes won't open and continuously gives me this message "The itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occurred (-50)". I've restarted my computer a few times and looked up as many forums and solutions I could, but no luck. Please, if someone could help, let me know. Thank you.

ITunes won't open after QuickTime update (Windows XP)

Hi all,
Yesterday I was prompted by Apple Software Update to install the newest version of QuickTime, and I always comply. However, after the update now iTunes will not open at all! No error message, just the hourglass cursor for a few seconds to indicate that it's loading, then a regular cursor... and then nothing.
I tried connecting my iPod Touch since it's configured to auto-sync upon connect, still won't open. I then googled the problem and came across some methods that I don't want to try just yet, since they involve reinstalling iTunes. Also tried uninstalling Bonjour from the Add/Remove Programs menu, but this apparent solution did not work either.
I run Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 32-bit. This started happening after I updated to QuickTime 7.7 (from 7.6 I believe). Is there a fix for this problem without reinstalling? If possible, I don't want to lose my library settings. Thanks!

Could you check something further for me please, df? Is your QuickTime Player also currently failing to launch (with or without an error message)?
