Problem upgrading photos

I recently purchased iLife '06 and installed it on my Powerbook. It hasn't been perfect but the biggest problem was upgrading my photos for iPhoto.
It says:
"The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto."
click upgrade...
says "Upgrading photo library..."
but then crashes and says:
"The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly."
This happens everytime.
What do I do and are my photos okay?
Note: I never got iLife '05
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

I had a similar problem and got around it by creating a new library and importing the photos into the new library and then deleting the old one.
The create a new library hold down the option button as you select iPhoto from the dock. Yo might hve to do this several times before it works. After you've created the new library select the File drop down menu and then select Import to Library.
A Finder style window opens. Go the folder that iphoto has been using to store you photos (probably Pictures\iPhoto Library) and it will import all the pictures from the folder and subfolders.
It will retain the original film rolls and photo data, but you will lose slideshows, albums, key words etc.

  • Problem upgrading photos from old version of iPhoto

    I just purchased a new iMac and therefore got a new version of iPhoto. It said I need to upgrade my library to be compatible with the new version of iPhoto. I began the upgrade process, it said it may take more than an hour for large libraries. I have 39,000 photos, the upgrader has been running for 13 hours straight and still cycling. Is this normal? So I need to stop and restart?

    No, that's not normal.  Are you running the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1?  Force quite out of the upgrader and try again. 
    You did make a backup copy of the library before starting the upgrade, right?

  • Problem sending photos via email since I recently updated to iLife 11.

    Having problem sending photos by Email since I upgraded to iLife11.
    I followed the instructions.   I used to just select my photos and then a screen would come up to compose an email.
    Now it comes up with templates and I had to set up what account to send them from.  No matter what I do, it just
    never goes thru.  
    What's the solution?  

    Set Mail as your preferred email client in the iPhoto Preferences -> General

  • New problem importing photos videos

    since I upgraded my iphone 5 to ios7, I having a problem importing photos and videos to my pc? I have Windows 7. Has anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it?

    Hi I have figured it out on my own just today coz what apple suggested didn't help much so I just have to do it by myself.
    This is what you need to do:
    open your computer and search for autoplay, it will open rightaway and then scroll down look for your device then change "ask everything" to "import photos and videos in windows" connect your ipad again then tthe import box will open.. and your good!
    i hope this will help you. Good luck! :-)

  • Problem editing photos in iPhoto 6

    Hi,
    I am having a problem editing photos. When I click on a photo to edit I get the following error message:
    Unreadable Files
    The following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)
    /Users/myusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library2006/Modified/2006/Roll2183/DSCN0164.jpg
    I have rebuilt the photo library. I also backed up my iphoto library and reimported the photos. I have not messed with the photo library at all. I import my photos from the camera and generally work with them. I think this has been a problem since upgrading to 6.
    Has anyone else seen this?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Welcome to the Apple DIscussions:
    This could be a file permissions issue:
    Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

  • Upgrading photos still a prob 4 me

    Hi,
    I was following the replies to LillyoftheValley's problem with permissions when trying to upgrade photos after loading iLife06. I tried repairing permissions with First Aid of the Disk Utility and then I tried downloading and using BatChmod with the suggested settings. It took little time to 'apply' in BatChmod, but I still am running into the same problem. Any more ideas - please help.
    Thx

  • I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  Pics and videos have been deleted too.

    I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted.  I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either.  Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again?  Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost?  I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be.  Please help if you can.

    I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
    Need help too!!

  • Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

    Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
    Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

    Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.

  • Problem Upgrading to Apex 3.1 on XE

    I am running into a problem upgrading Apex to 3.1 on Oracle XE.
    Hardware and Software:
    Database: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
    PL/SQL Web Toolkit Version: 10.1.2.0.4
    Host O/S: MS Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP2
    Host Hardware: AMD Athlon 64 Processor, 2.2 GHz, 1.87 GB RAM
    Background:
    This is a lab host. I am working through the full installation process so that I can set up XE and Apex on development and production hosts, the end in mind being to develop a simple application using XE/Apex instead of Access 2003, which is used heavily in this shop.
    It seems to me that upgrading to Apex 3.1 would be a good thing to do up front instead of developing in the version which ships with XE (2.1, I believe) and performing the upgrade later.
    I installed XE going with full defaults. Nothing at all tricky. I was able to connect to http://localhost:8080/apex without any trouble and log in as system.
    I then followed these Apex upgrade instructions, very carefully:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1_and_xe.html
    After I ran into trouble (see below), I reviewed this post and used it to double-check my work:
    How to upgrade to Apex 3.1
    I have worked through this a number of times, each time ending up with the same error.
    The Problem...
    After the upgrade, when I navigate to http://localhost:8080/apex, I receive the following error:
    wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err
    wwv_flow.err wwv_flow.app_not_found_err
    OK
    I reviewed this posting, which suggests that I upgrade my PL/SQL Web Toolkit:
    apex 3.0 error wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err after new installation
    I am perfectly willing to try this, but I am not sure how to obtain the latest correct version of the web toolkit for this particular version of the database. Any tips on where I might find this?
    I also note that the posting says there should be 10 SQL files in the apex/builder directory. I only have 5, but I just downloaded this zip file a few days ago and assume this is the correct number of files. If it isn't, where could I find the correct zip?
    Any other suggestions about the root cause of this issue would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Well, like Sherlock Holmes said, "when you have elminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Or, something like that.
    Thanks Joel, it was the files. I examined the zip file I originally downloaded and, sure enough, there were 10 files. I extracted it again and, for some reason, this time it only pulled one of the SQL files out, not even five as it did the first time. In addition, it also skipped about half the language folders.
    To get it work, I used the windows built-in zip to open the file, navigated to the apex/builder folder, selected all of the SQL files and language folders, then copied and pasted them into c:\apex\builder.
    I then restored the database, ran the install again, and everything worked just fine: I can access http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin and log in.
    I'm not sure what the issue is, a problem with the zip file or (ok, more likely) a problem with the built-in windows zip tool. I used 7-zip (www.7-zip.org) to extract the file on my workstation and all 10 files and 9 language folders came out just fine.
    The bottom line is, it works now, thanks again for the help.
    -Tom
    PS - I did not install the web toolkit upgrade.

  • Problems downloading Photos from 8900 smartphone

    Hi
    Im having problems downloading photos stored on an SD card from my BB to PC.
    Ive looked at the other posts and turned on mass storage accordingly.
    When I connect my BB to the PC using the USB link, the BB informs me the mass storage mode is being activated and requests a password, which I enter.
    However, the BB does not appear in the Devices list in the My Computer screen on the PC.
    Does anyone have ideas as to the problem??
    I have lots of photos on there, so want to avoid sending dozens of mails to get the photos off the BB.
    Thank you

    Hi stuart_fraser,
    Have you checked the Windows Device Manager to see if the BlackBerry and/or Mass storage device shows up?  Also, the BlackBerry may show up in "My Computer" as a removable storage device.
    Thanks

    Self explanatory.
    You could try creating an iPod version of the films.
    Use CTRL and B to display the Menu bar shown above. Alternatively, use the ALT key, followed by the F key, the W key and finally the I (eye) key - that's (menu)/File/Create New Version/Create iPod or iPhone version.

  • Problems upgrading from OS 8.1 to OS 9.2.2

    Thank you for any help you can give me.
    I have some additional problems upgrading from OS 8.1 to OS 9.2.2.
    1. The keyboard is typing symbols, not normal letters. When I go to Key Caps it shows symbols and not normal letters. When I was running OS 8.1 the keyboard typed fine.
    2. I also am have trouble with windows closing as I open new windows. Everytime I click to open a new folder the old folder closes.
    3. Copying files. When I drag a file it makes a new copy on the desktop.
    How did I goof up going from OS 8.1 directly to OS 9.2.2?
    All these problems were fine while running under OS 8.1.
    I believe this computer came with OS.8.6 installed on it but I got it with OS 8.1.
    Any help you can pass on to me would be greatly appreciated.
    I am typing this on my Dell PC.
    Thanks a million,

    iMac G3 333   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    Easy, I just insert my OS 8.1 System Software into the tray loading CD and choose it as the start up disk in the control panel. I restart the computer and it is running off of OS 8.1 instead on OS 9.2.2. I looked for another keyboard today at a used computer store but they didn't have one for the iMac. I need to find one as all my research indicates that it is somehow connected to the option key. But then again everything works fine under OS 8.1. Quite a puzzle to me. Again thanks for the page tip on Firmware. Jim - PS, I did pick up a zip drive that connects to USB ports.

  • Problems with Photos and Fonts and Explorer

    I am having problems with photos and fonts when my site is viewed on Explorer. The site is Ostyn-Newman.com The problems can both be seen on the start page -though they happen throughout the site. The photo is supposed to be only 30% opaque and it shows fine on Firefox or Safari, but Explorer viewers get the photo being used as wallpaper at 100% and this steps all over the text. Should I give up a using a photo as wallapaper?
    Also the font I am using for "Ostyn-Newman Objects for Fine Homes" shows well in Firefox and Safari, but looks really bad on Explorer products. Should I just change the font? I am currently using Snell Roundhand.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).
