Problems in iPhoto since trying to upgrade to ilife 11

I see many posts on this and have tried some solutions - increasingly concerned.
I have a 2009 macbook pro and was happily using iphoto 09 (8.1.2). Then a while back I thought I would upgrade to ilife 11 and during the upgrade struck the problem that access to photos/teasers seems to scarily disappear. I've searched all forums and saw to go back to rhe previous app.This worked and photos still appear to be there in 8.1.2.
But now I have a new imac (arrived yesterday) and hope to be able to work out how to move photos into latest iphoto. I've tried migration assistant which is not working for some reason.
I tried to drag my library from a hard drive (formatted from a mac) into new iphoto app (same issue- no teasers).
I have also copied my library from a hard drive time machine back up into my new system Documents file (I have not found Pictures folder yet..) and run through all the repair options when you open iphoto with Command/options even rebuiliding the database.No luck! It says there are 26,000 item (which is correct - taken over approx 10 years) and after all of this the photos improved a little by showing up for a short while and then disappearing (I have seen this in the forums) or being stretched or blurry! But maybe I am missing some database?
Not sure what to do next except transfer previous iphoto app to new imac and keep going with that or create an old and new library with different apps. All photos and iphoto 09 (8.1.2) are still working on older laptop and I have two time machine backups + back ups of original files by title and file name and am considering a third!
Can I transfer original files and reorganise them into folders etc..? Guess I lose my books etc..
Any suggestions.. ? Can it be the photos have the same filenames (I am not a good filer) and this is causing an issue - I have removed all photos that were not opening in previous app and all videos. I've tried to weed out duplicates. It does seem that those taken on ipad or iphone do show up in new iphoto even if others do not.
I will say - I don't spend much time in the forums so did just expect iLife 11 to magically work.. Makes me want to print books immediately as a back up (could be expensive!)
Anyway - appreciate any assistance. kealld

What are "teasers"?

Never do that. That will import one Library to another and cause a mess you don't want - a really big mess.
To move an iPhoto LIbrary:
Drag it to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and open it. That's all.

Iphoto 6 trying to upgrade to ilife 11

I have been using iLife 06 .I recent upgraded to snow leapord and want to upgrade to iLife 11. Do I need to buy iLife 9 and then iLife 11 ?

No - Just back up your iPhoto library and install iPhoto '11 - it will do the upgrade - after installing it verify that you have all of the latest updates prior to launching it (current version is 9.1.2)

Why won't iCloud Drive stop "Upgrading" on my iPod Touch 5? It has never finished...in months. This is how it has stayed since trying to upgrade.

Try backing up and restoring from backup

How can I fix no sound problem during calls since I have upgraded iphone 4 to ios 7?

Hi friends
Since I have upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 7, I am practicing too much problems regarding to sound:
- playing music has no sound at the same time no sound in during phone calls unless I open the speaker.
- sometimes sound in music and phone calls comes back for short period and then same problem occuring again.
I think and I beleave it is software problem and I feel that ios 7 have killed my iphone.
any one has any idea how to solve the problem or downgrading back to ios6

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

Carbonite backing my iphoto library again after upgrading to ilife 11

I have Carbonite online backup and have my system backed up. Since upgrading to iLife 11, Carbonite wants to back up my system again thinking everything it backup already is new files/data. This want Carbonite support saids,"we have reviewed the log files and found that duplicate files are being backed up. As the iLife program has changed the My photo and video directories. These are being backed up again. We would suggest you make changes to the settings of iLife program, so that Carbonite does not recognize it as a new data. " My question, want setting am I changing so carbonite doesn't duplicate my back up? it wants to upload 137 gig of data (again) it will take for ever! Thank you for any help.

I also have Carbonite. Before upgrading to iPhoto '11, I divided my library into multiple smaller libraries just so my computer didn't seem so taxed. I have Carbonite in case my computer crashes or is stolen. After doing all this maneuvering of libraries and then the upgrade to '11, my Carbonite was going bonkers.... it even sent me an email saying I hadn't backed up in over a week. I don't know why I got that email. But, I think that Carbonite finally caught up somewhat to my moving around of files and then upgrading to iPhoto '11.
I think I prefer the concept of taking an external HD or two (making one or two additional copies of my libraries).... and, maybe telling Carbonite to not back-up those libraries (the ones that I don't actively use right now) until my Carbonite has caught up on my actively used libraries. Then, once it says that you are caught up, you can one by one add those unused libraries back to your "back-up" to catch any additional changes you may make on those libraries in the future. This way, your current changes are for sure being captured on your Carbonite back-up.
I don't know if this makes sense. And, perhaps your usage is different than mine. But, I had over 14,000 photos in my single library. Now, I have 9 libraries with up to 4,500 in a single library. I only actively use one library right now. And, will be making sure that one is on my back-up with Carbonite. Then, once that is done, I will add the other 8 libraries one by one until they are all updated all the while making sure my primary is being captured as well. But, if something does happen between now and then, I have my external HD with copies of my iPhoto library at least until Carbonite is all the way caught up.

Problem installing iphoto 6.0.4 upgrade.

G5 Imac running 10.4.7. and iphoto 6.0.1. On attempting to upgrade to 6.0.4 the message "You cannot install on this volume. An eligible iphoto application was not found in the location/ Applications/iphoto.app." This is exactly where the iphoto folder is, so I'm puzzled.
Any help very welcome!
G5 Imac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I am still getting the same error "An eligible iphot application was not found in the location/Applications/iphoto.app."
even though I tried moving iphoto into a different folder in my applications, and then moving it back in. Any help would be appreciated. I don't have ilife. I tried installing 6.0.1 as well and get the same error message. Help....

Problems with iMac since Mountain Lion upgrade

So , several problems that I have experienced since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
1. When I "log off" off my iMac from the top left "apple" symbol, I get the rainbow wheel of death.
2. When accessing YouTube home screen or yahoo in Safari, the page is a white screen. Nothing more, nothing less.
* I have been reading some people saying that this happens to them too, but only when using an account with parental controls.
3. Hard drive "grinds" incessantly.
* I have never even seen the rainbow wheel or heard my hard drive grind on my iMac untill this upgrade.
Anybody know of any solutions, or also having these issues?

For anyone else having the "white screen" issue with youtube, and/or yahoo issue. I seemed to have repaired the issue. I turned the parental controls off for both of my kids accounts, restarted my Mac, and the problem vanished.
I also turned the parental controls back on after this, restarted the computer, and the problem came back.
*** This is 100% a Parental Control/Mountain Lion glitch. Hopefully Apple knows and is working on a solution. The sooner they fix it, the sooner I can turn the parental controls back onto my kids accounts.

Problems with iTunes since 10.5 upgrade

I really hope someone can advise me. Cuz i fear I may have to try and revert back to factory and spend like 6 or 7 hours again trying to resync and re set up my ipod

IPhoto Library unusable after upgrade to iLife'11

I have recently purchased the iLife'11 Family Upgrade Pack for up to 5 Macs with which my Dad and I have upgraded both of our Snow Leopard capable iMacs.
My iMac was fine when upgraded. Immediately after upgrading I was prompted to use Software Update and then the iMac performed an operation to 'upgrade' my iPhoto Library (or was it the other way around?).
However when I upgraded my Dad's iMac (24", 2.16ghz) the upgrade itself seemed to take ok, but something went awry when the Mac got to the point where it wanted to update the iPhoto Library. During this process it kept reporting that certain files were missing and I was forced to search for them manually. I found these files and the upgrade was eventually completed. I forget now which files they were, however one particular file was repeated a number of times.
Anyway, ever since upgrading the iPhoto Library on my Dad's machine, his iPhoto won't open and he's cussing me flashes.
Any idea what went wrong and how I may fix this?
By the way, I took the usual precautions before upgrading, like running Disk Utility, repairing permissions and so on. I even ran Disk Warrior and got that to fix any potential problems before I did anything.

Downloaded the iPhoto Library Manager that you helpfully provided the link for and asked it to rebuild the library.
This appeared to be going well until we got about 75% of the way when iPhoto Library Manager itself froze. Luckily we were able to identify the Photo that it was working on when it froze so we opened up a copy of iPhoto on our backup drive, found the offending Photo and trashed it before emptying iPhoto's trash.
iPhoto continued to behave a bit sluggishly and other problems were aparent such as the Thumb nails for event not changing as the cursor moved over them. So I trashed iPhoto, re-installed the '09 version, then ran the '11 upgrade again followed by the software update of course.
Toboot iPhoto appears to be working again.
By the way, I found out what those files were I mentioned in my first post. They were .dv file from some movies that I don't think belong where they are anyway. They were made by my digital stills camera so that may have something to do with it.
Thanks for the iPhoto Library Manager tip. It helped a lot.

Unsupported File System Error When Trying To Upgrade iPhoto Library on QNAP

I upgraded to iLife11 from iLife08. My iPhoto Library is stored on a QNAP server and has worked just fine for many years. When iPhoto[9] tries to upgrade the library it gives an error "The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported."
Other iLife11 applications such as iMovie recognize files from the QNAP just fine.
I have tried moving the original iPhoto Library into another folder and then creating a new library on the server but get the same message.
I have upgraded to iPhoto 9.0.1 already.
Any ideas?
Appreciation In Advance.

my NAS backup is going to see the whole disk image as a 'new file' and
I don't think that will be the case if you use a sparse bundle disk image.
+A sparse bundle is essentially the same as a sparse disk image. The difference is that a sparse image is one giant file on your disk and a sparse bundle is lots of small files (8 megabytes each). They work and look the same way, but you can right-click on a sparse bundle, select "show package contents" and see the individual 8 meg sections.+
If the backup software can do incremental backups and work on packages I think it will work on the sparse bundle disk image. Might be worth a try.
Happy New Year

HT1338 My iPhoto keeps freezing during upgrading step 5 of 9. How do I fix this?

My iPhoto is trying to upgrade but keeps freezing at step 5 of 9. Is there a fix for this?

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.
If that fails:
Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again

You have to buy iPhoto from the Mac App Store.

Thx Leonie,
Surprisingly, I just went to the crash reporter and there were no reports re: the iPhoto issue. This is the only report I found, which I not sure is related to the iPhoto issue:

As for the TimeCapsule indeed, I use it as an extended drive but I'm surprised it would be considered a FAT-32 formatted drive as this is an Apple device.
I asked the apple reps if I could use the TimeCapsule for such purpose and no one raised a concern. It's also surprising that I didn't have an issue with this prior to the upgrade to OS X Yosemite.
Having said the above, thank you for your help - if the TimeCapsule is indeed the issue, perhaps I can solve the issue by transferring the iphoto library to an OS extended hard drive.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good.

If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader.
