Problems with Mavericks and iphoto

I updated from Snow Leapord to Mavericks.  So far everything works exept iphoto on an external drive.  It starts up and says it has to update the library.  As it goes through, it hangs up on step 6 of 11.  Computer is completely locked up and all I can do is shut down with the on/off button.  Not sure what to do, and are my photos lost?

gotitans, I think you have an entirely different problem than we are discussing in this thread.
You should open your own thread, and you should describe your problems in more detail. For example, what type of Mac do you have, what operating system does it run, what version of iPhoto did you have running before the upgrade,and just what sort of upgrade did you do (hardware, operating system, iPhoto, something else)?
My best guess from just that message is that you did a hardware upgrade, and your version of iPhoto is too old to run on the new hardware.
ntgerh64, it would probably be good if you gave us the same details I asked of gotitans. I was assuming you were talking about upgrading OS X to Mavericks and then iPhoto to 9.5 or 9.5.1.

  • Problem with itunes and iphoto after time machine restoration

    After an apocalyptic type meltdown in my hardrive the other night, I now have a new one. I have restored as much as I had backed up using time machine when I turned my computer back on for the first time. However in iphoto it lists all the different albums I have, but all the photos come up as grey squares. They are definitely on the computer as you can see them in the iphoto originals folder in the finder window.
    A similar problem with itunes. My itunes library is totally blank, with no songs whatsoever. However the songs are there in itunes music folder.
    How can I restore everything back to normal?
    Matt

    Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
    It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
    If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

  • Printing problems with Elements and iPhoto on OSX 10.5.7

    I am having problems with printing photos on my printer (Canon iP4000) since getting the new iMac with OSX (10.5.7) and using Photoshop Elements 6 and iPhoto. The Canon printer driver (and all my other data) were copied to my Mac by the techs at the Apple store from which I purchased the iMac. (I previously had a Mac G4 with OSX 10.4.11 Panther.)
    Photos that used to come out crystal clear and brilliant on the printer from the G4, now are faint with kind of a white veil. When I try to print in Elements, I get a message that says "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer." I really have no idea what that means. Anybody?
    Text printing comes out fine, both from word processing documents and web pages. I am using the latest printer driver (4.8.3) for the iP4000 (probably 4 years old or so), and there are no new driver downloads available for it. I trashed the Canon software/drivers and reinstalled, to no avail.
    Canon Support has been helpful and have made many suggestions, but none has worked. I tried printing with Canon's EasyPhotoPrint app, and the photos print fine. So the problem appears to be a compatibility of the printer with Elements 6 and iPhoto.
    Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have an opinion if this means I need to get a new printer? If so, any suggestions on a good, moderately priced one for Leopard on the iMac that will definitely work with Elements 6 and iPhoto?

    The v4.8.3 driver she has is the latest version Canon has supplied.
    Given the driver is working okay from some other applications, there has to be something amiss with the colour management of iPhoto and PSE6.
    For iPhoto, as a test I would suggest the Color Options > Color Correction is set to None to see how this impacts the printed image. Then I would try the BJ Standard and ColrSync settings to see how the output is affected.
    During the Color Options trial, ensure the Quality & Media > Media Type is set to the appropriate paper type, such as Photo Paper and the Print Mode be set to Top Quality Photo. With regards to the Media Type setting, some of the paper stocks have a profile associated with them. If you use Photo paper but use the Plain setting, then you will get a washed out print.

  • Problems with Maverick and Thunderbird

    I upgraded to Maverick and everything seems ok. The only problem I'm having is with Thunderbird mail client. I can no longer receive any mail. I've reinstalled it and no change.

    After much ado, I just tried to be patient for half an hour.  Thunderbird finally got itself sorted and it works fine. You may want to undo the spotlight search and see if that helps.

  • Another distinct problem with .mac and iphoto

    I don't get the connection error. Mine says it uploaded fine, but the photos never seem to make it to the server. It takes a few minutes, shows the progress and everything. then tells me its done and what would i like to do. It either publishes a blank page, or it publishes all the frames and links, but no pics due to the bad upload.
    any ideas, or are we going to have to wait for the next update.
    right now, I have just uploaded my pics by hand and will make it by hand online. It takes longer, but it works.

    That's how i do it normally. It gives me an opportunity to "condition" the files more extensively, i.e. specify the size I want and taylor the quality to get the file size down, and add a watermark to the photo before uploading. Guess I'm a control freak but it works for me.

  • Problem with yosemite and parallels

    Since I have upgraded to yosemite and parallels 10 my windows 7 has been using a lot of CPU resources.  Windows 7 runs very slow and it been using almost constantly 100% of one of the quads resources.  This just started to happen when I upgraded, because I did not have this problem with Mavericks and Parallels 9 or 10. I have an iMac 2011, 8GB of Ram.  Has anybody had this issue.  Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.  I was searching on a parallels forum website and found the following:
    As from the symptoms, the issue can lie in NVRAM preferences of your particular Mac.
    Please do the following to solve:
    open Terminal application on Mac (Applications/Terminal.app)
    please type this command (you may copy-paste it to the terminal from this message):
    sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0xd4e"
    Hit Enter.
    You will be prompted to enter Mac user password. Please type it and hit Enter.
    Note: you won't see what you are typing, just type and hit Enter. If you don't have Mac user password, please create a temporary one.
    Then you may restart your Mac and the issue should be solved.
    If not - please reply me here and I'll create a ticket for you in Support.
    I did the above and it seemed to correct the problem.

  • Everything seems OK with Mavericks and WD external HD

    I'm reading about tons of problems with Mavericks and WD external drives. Most mention WD software glitches.
    I have a 2T WD My Book USB external HD. After upgrading to Mavericks (two weeks now), I haven't experienced and data loss at all, and all my partitions have retained their names and icons. They all check out OK in Disk Utility. I did have a Finder glitch once where I could not Copy/Paste any file over several several MB., (error 8057) but a restart fixed it. As far as know, that was only from one partition. I have had some video issues launching .avi and .mkv with an 'app not found' error. Making VLC the default for the those files in Get Info seems to have solved that (except the icons remain Quicktime). Previously when launching .avi files QuickTime did not launch and attempt to convert it.
    For now, I'm regarding the video thing as a separate issue.
    When I got my WD USB ext. a year ago, I did not install ANY WD software. I simply formatted to HFS+ and partitioned in Disk Utility and was good to go. Is it safe to say that since I don't have any of that pre-Mavericks software installed (I double checked with Spotlight), that my external drive is safe? Or should I run out and get a solid state drive ASAP? Is it also fairly safe to think that since I went through the upgrade unmolested and it's been two weeks now that everything is probably OK?

    Yup, that's exactly what I meant. It comes preinstalled.

    There appear to be big problems with Mavericks Mail, particularly if it's used for Gmail. Have other users noticed that it slows to a crawl and can't reload the contents of a folder instantly....Is there a fix coming?

    There is a large thread relating to Gmail, but nothing that sounds like that.
    Nobody here knows what Apple is going to do.
    You might try removing the Gmail account and then add it back in.

  • HT201380 keep having scrolling problems with Maverick on both iMac and Mac Pro despite downloading mail software update

    Have scrolling problems with Maverick despite downloading mail update on both IMAC and Mac Pro
    Have to reboot and it helps for awhile then stalls again

    The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but it'd be worth going to System Preferences > Network and making sure the SOCKS Proxy is not enabled in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet.
    Also, it looks like the crashes you're talking about are actually freezes, i.e. Mail becomes unresponsive rather than quitting unexpectedly. In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer, and see whether Mail displays there what it's doing when it freezes. Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it's doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
    Reinstalling Mail will probably accomplish nothing, but it might be worth reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of machine and the version of Mac OS X you're using (which you would have to do anyway if you wanted to reinstall Mail):
    Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for Intel
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

  • Why are there some blank boxes where photos should be? maverick and iphoto 11

    Upgraded to Maverick and iPhoto 11(ver 9.5) and now some of the boxes in photos and events have no photos in them. Tried rebuilding thumbnails and repairing database, but no change. Mistakenly, I closed out screen that first appeared when iPhoto opened for first time that asked permission to do some task and perhaps this is the cause of the problem?

    Do you have a backup copy of the library from just before you upgraded to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5?  If so restore it to your Pictures folder and try again to open it with iPhoto.
    Otherwise, run the first aid again and select the last option, Rebuild Database.  See if that helps.  If not try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
