Problem with opening iphoto 6 library in iphoto08

I just copied my old iphoto 6 library into my new macbook, picture folder. Then I opened iphoto08, but iphoto shows no pictures,even though the "new" library is 6,3 GB large...
Any ideas?
The only thing I ca think of is that my old iphoto library seems a bit "messy" when I open it...

Macbubel
What does "a bit messy" mean?
Some things to try:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point iPhoto at the library. If it finds a valid library then it will update and open it.
If it doesn't find a valid library: was iPhoto working normally on he old machine? Try copy it over again if it was - maybe a damaged copy.
Otherwise:
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) 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 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 Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event 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.

  • Problems with opening iPhoto !

    how do i backup my photos they ae really important  , but this won't open ? do i uninstall yosemite or what ?

    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.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Problem with opening a dmg downloaded file.

    I have a problem with opening a dmg file type. Example. I down loaded an update for Onyx. The download is placed on my destop. OnyX.dmg. When I click the file, disk utility opens up. I click OnyX.dmg and it attaches the image. I then have the OnyX disk image on my desktop. I click on OnyX.pkg and get the message "There is no default application specified to open the document "OnyX.pkg"
    I remember when I 1st installed the program months ago. I just dragged the icon to the applications folder and was done.

    There is something rather odd with your defaults for opening things. Double clicking a .dmg file should cause it to mount automatically using DiskImageMounter, and double clicking a .pkg file ought to cause Installer to run. DiskImageMounter is here:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter
    and the Installer is here:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Installer
    You can use GetInfo to assign those programs to those file types. You might consider fixing your LaunchServices database. See the discussion thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5744911
    Using OnyX is probably the easiest solution.

  • BC Archive - problem with opening view object based on entity from archive

    We have encountered a weird problem with a reusable BC library on different PCs.
    Library was imported into a project following steps in section 25.7 of the ADF guide.
    A view object was created using some of the entities from the library.
    Model tested successfully with view object (using AppModule tester).
    Page developed with no problems.
    Application copied to a different PC.
    BC JAR files set up in lib folder and removed/readded to application model project. When attempting to open view object, get the error below.
    However, the View object still tests successfully using the AppModule tester.
    The page using the View object still runs successfully.
    I believe the problem is that when the archive was originally imported, it was imported from a different location. The Containees tag in the project .jpx file references that path name. But even when I edited the path name, I still could not open the view object. Do we have to remove and redo the import of the library each time the application is copied to a different machine?
    Error when attempting to edit View Object:
    oracle.jbo.dt.objects.JboException: The following object(s) referred to objects that could not be found:

    We have resolved this problem by making sure that all machines have identical paths for both the working and the lib directories. It would be nice not to have to do this though.

  • I can not open Iphoto, my library crashed!!!

    I can not open Iphoto, my library seens to be curruted. I tried to use option command function but nothing happens. I just can see that it is trying to update the software, step 1 of 11. Please can someone help me?

    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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    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.

  • Problem with opening of PDF in my webmail application

    I have a problem with opening a pdf file in my webmail application of my internet provider in apple safari since yesterday. When I wanted to open up a pdf file I got a pop up message to allow a connection between adobe and the webmail application which I did. Since then I can not open up a pdf file. If I go to another browser or if I use email from another internet provider I use too it works and I can open up. It seems to be a blockage of the specific combination of this webmail application and safari.
    What can I do ?

    The mail is send but the attachment is corrupted.
    Can you tell me what code you have written so its working in developement?

  • Problem with opening a indd file in CC 2014.

    When I'm trying to open a 5.5 .indd-file in CC 2014 on my Windows computer, I get this error message: 'Either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to open it or the file is used by another program'. However my collague has no problem with opening the document on his Mac computer. I guess it has something to do with a kind of setting in my CC 2014. Can anyone help me?

    Nothing to do with ID. It really means what it says - your file permissions are hosed and it being an ID file this could include things like fonts or placed images referenced within it.

  • Problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6.

    Hi, I have a problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6. It is said: it isn't possible to carry out an order since the module of the file format cannot analyse this file

    Don’t know if Reader has this, too, but in Acrobat one can check under Document Properties.
    I can convert and place the file in Photoshop CS6.
    I would recommend trying the usual trouble-shooting routines and if nothing helps un-installing, running the Cleaner and re-installing Photoshop.  (After making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved to s secure location.)

  • F-32 : Problem with Open Item selection

    Hi,
    We have a strange problem with open Item selection for customer clearing in t-code F-32
    In My QA system
    if I input spl GL indicator ="*" and uncheck Normal OI tick,
    the system selects all open items,
    (those with spl GL indicator and those without spl GL indicator)
    In My Dev system
    If I input spl GL indicator ="*" and uncheck Normal OI tick
    the system does not select any open items,
    Please let me know which setting controls this behaviour ?
    Regards
    Sachin

    Hello,
    Check your data in FBL5N for the option "Special GL Transactions". There could be that there is no data in the system with SPECIAL GL TRANSACTIONS.
    In F-32, there is no value like *
    You need to input right Special GL Indicator. "*" will not work here.
    I am sure in both the systems if you put "*" and UNTICK your normal transaction, you will NOT get any items to clear.
    Please DOUBLE CHECK whether you have unticked normal transaction.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

    Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
    Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

    I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
    Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
    What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
    - In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
    - Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
    - Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
    IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.
