Reading iPhoto Libraries recorded under older version on CD

How can I read iPhoto Libraries recorded on CD-Rom under older versions of iPhoto. I have the latest version of iPhoto

When you insert the CDs in the optical drive and launch iPhoto doesn't the CD show up in the left hand pane in iPhoto under Shared?
It should.  If it does all you need to do is drag the photos/albums/events you want to import onto the Events icon above.
Those are not full libraries and must be viewed as shown above in the screenshot.  They can't be opened as a separate library with iPhoto.

    Hi johnd83157268,
    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    Could you please let me know what changes have you made in the registry.
    You might need to uninstall Adobe Reader from Control Panel and try install it again from the following link:
    Adobe Reader Install for all versions
    Please ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt installation.
    Try again and then let me know.

  • How do I merge iPhoto Libraries which use different versions of iPhoto?

    I have three Mac computers and would like to merge the 3 iPhoto Libraries and put them in one library on an external hard drive, so that all 3 computers can access the library if possible, although it is a priority for my newest MacBook to access all the photos, including the older photos on my older Macs. Doing it in such way that I preserve metadata and edits would be deirable too--all my photos are jpegs. Right now my iMac is runnning OS 10.6.8 with iPhoto 7.1.5, my older MacBook is also running OS 10.6.8 with iPhoto 7.1.5 and my newest MacBook runs OS 10.7.5 with iPhoto 9.4.3. Is it possible to merge these 3 libraries without upgrading operating systems and iPhoto versions on the older computers? I have read that the best way to merge libraries is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager which I'd like to use, but its latest version requires a newer version of iPhoto than the one on the older computers and I don't see a download for an older version of iPLM that might possibly do what I want. Any suggestions?

    I am still curious if it would be a good second option to export the photos out of the older libraries into the newest one. I know this would convert them as you have said and also lose metadata and edits in the process, which is preferale to me over upgrading the older computers.
    More simple.
    Copy those libraries to the new machine.
    Open them with the newer iPhoto - that will upgrade their libraries. (And leave the originals untouched on the other machines)
    Merge them into the third library. Less work, less dataloss.
    Regards

  • ITunes Library cannot be read after downgrading to an older version

    I had iTunes 7.8 and everything worked perfect. I kept getting informed of an updated iTunes 8.2 so i upgraded. then whenever i would plug my iPod in it wouldnt recognize it and asked to erase all the songs off my iPod. Everytime, i clicked No. but one day, i kept my iPod plugged in for a long time and left the computer and when i came back all the songs had been erased from it. Then i plugged it in again and the new iTunes wouldnt even recognize my iPod or show it in on the left sided menu, BUT it was recognized by my laptop when i looked for it in Finder. So i called Apple and they told me to uninstall the new iTunes and download the one i had previously. I did so and now im back with 7.8. However, now when i try to open iTunes it immediately says "The File 'iTunes Library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". I know i have all the music files still on my computer under the iTunes folder. But, when i click on File under iTunes to try to import my library, nothing can be clicked. None of the drop down menus have options that are accessible. Can anybody please help?

    I removed 8.1.1 and downloaded 8.0.1. Same problems with the library as the top of this thread. Here's my situation now:
    If I install and launch 8.1.1, instant beachball, totally unresponsive to the mouse, nada. In other words, I can't get to preferences or try any of the other fixes suggested here and elsewhere in the ton of 8.1.1 complaints on the board. Only a force quit will get me out of there. So I can't even get the program running.
    If I install and launch 8.0.1, after a few seconds I get an alert that iTunes can't read the library because it was created with a newer version. Click OK and it just aborts the launch. In other words, I also can't get into the iTunes window and try things.
    So I'm screwed either way. My iPods still work, but iTunes is totally disabled. I could try renaming the most recent library and moving it to the other folder, but that would lose voice memo recordings that were uploaded to iTunes just prior to the corruption and after the 8.1.1 upgrade. It also obviously prevents me from adding to the library.

  • I cannot update to New version of iPhoto.  Still have older version despite uninstalling application and redownloading it?  any suggestions.  My current version is the 2012 version, but it is not updating to the new version

    I updated to OS X Mavericks.  I updated all of the new iLife applications.  iPhoto is not updating to new version.  I have iPhoto '11. 
    The icon on the dashboard has the new logo, however when I open the application it hasn't updated.  I tried deleting the application and redownloading it.  Still stuck with old version

    I have exactly the same problem as carson.
    iPhoto tells me that I have Version 9.5, and the info-page tells me "iPhoto 11, Version 9.5 (902.7)", and the logo is the new one.
    However, the programme is exactly the same as the old version - not just similar, exactly the same! The screenshots on the apple-website show a dark grey, almost black interface, for example (like the new iMovie). However, my version still shows the old light grey.
    I deleted the iphoto-app entirely (and was horrified to lose all my photos), but that also didn't work out.

  • 9.3  Reader won't work with older version of Acrobat 6.0

    I had Reader 9.3 installed and installed Acrobat 6.0.  Now neither version of Reader will work.
    I've tried removing and reinstalling but 9.3 won't work at all even with Arcobat 6.0 removed.
    What can I  do?

    Reader and Acrobat are not supported on the same Windows computer. It is known to be problem-some. Uninstall Reader and re-install Acrobat 6 or uninstall both, then purchase Acrobat 9, then install Acrobat 9.

  • My iPhoto libraries have been made with older vs. and cannot open them with iPhoto application or Library Manager

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries made with older vs. of iPhoto.  I cannot open any now with either iPhoto or iPhoto Manager, just get a spinning icon.

    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 and keywords 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.

    Try resetting the SMC 2-3 times, if that does not work then the DVD may need cleaning. Get a dry cleaning kit from your local office supply store.

  • How can I import multiple iphoto libraries into Photos beta

    I have successfully imported a single iPhoto Library into the Photos Beta app.  However I have several other iPhoto libraries that I would like to import into the Photos library.  Think of is as merging everything into one now that there's iCloud backup.
    I started with iPhoto back in 2005 and have created a separate library every three years ever since.  Each one is quite large, ~40 gigs.
    What is the best means to import additional libraries into my new Photos library.  Unfortunately the File import option on Photos does not allow for a selection of iPhoto Library file type.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Merge all iPhoto Libraries into one before migrating them to the new Photos.app.
    You cannot add additional libraries to a Photos library, only additional photos.  Or have several Photos libraries, but only one of them can sync with iCloud.
    To merge your iPhoto Libraries into one, use either Aperture, if you have it  (see:  Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries), or the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager:  Download it here:  iPhoto Library Manager

  • Can a newer version read/import from an older version?

    I'm using the hard drive from my dead Powerbook G4 as an external drive in an enclosure. It had iPhoto v. 5.something. I want to view/import the photos on that old drive onto a Macbook Pro OSX 10.5.8/iPhoto 7.1.  I get told the older (Powerbook) version can't be read and that I need to use the newer version (the one on the Macbook). On the Macbook Pro, I open the external hard disk icon > Applicaitons > iPhoto, and I cant' get past the dialog box telling me to use the newer version of the application. There is only an OK button, which shuts down iPhoto 5.something. So I can't open it even to get the photos onto a flash drive.
    Isn't there a way to see the photo library from a previous version of IPhoto? It would be terrible if all those photos were gone. Nobody warned me about this.
    While I'm on the subject of iPhoto, is there any way to kill the dialog box that appears EVERY TIME I launch, asking if I want to use iPhoto when I attach my camera to the computer?
    Thank you for any advice you may have.
    Sylvia

    I'm not sure I follow your post
    1. There is in importing involved. You never import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
    2. Newer versions of iPhoto Will open and convert older libraries. Once the library has been converted the older version will no longer be able to access the converted library
    Does this help?

  • I have applied a description to photos in iPhoto.  When I burn the CD, the description is not included.  I used to do this with an older version of iPhoto.  Am I doing something wrong?

    I have been organizing my photos in iPhoto and have written descriptions for them.  In the past, with an older version of iPhoto, I would burn a CD.  When I would put the CD back in my computer, the description would also be on the CD.  Now, I am burning the CD's and there is no record of the description.  This is very important as I want the information stored with the photos, both for my own reference, but also if something would happen to me my family would know who are in the photos and what the occasions were.  Is there some way I can do this?  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

    Ok, sorry!  I created an album with the photos I wanted to burn.  I gave them new titles, sometimes using batch change when appropriate, otherwise individually.  I then clicked on info and in the area labeled description I gave each photo a brief description.  When I was done, I went to Share and clicked on burn.  When prompted I inserted a blank CD-R in my external CD/DVD burner (which I need to use as my internal one has been replaced twice in less than a year and I was sick of spending $150.00 each time).  When it was loaded I clicked the burn button at the bottom of iPhoto.  When it was completed I reinserted it into the external CD/DVD burner/reader to see if it was successful.  The photos all came up with the new title in my iPhoto library.  When I click on info button, there is no description.  The information about the date and place where the photo was taken is there, just not the description that I personally included.
    I have not tried exporting the photos to finder and then burning as they suggest doing if you want the CD to be readable on Windows program, but I never had to do that with my old iPhoto program, so did not know if that would make a difference. 
    I can't think of any other information you might need, but if I missed something let me know and I will try to include it.  Thanks for your interest in helping!

  • HT4736 Taking too long (2 minutes) to locate and download photos into Photo '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD).  I checked and repaired HD permissions. Any ideas?

    Regarding iPhoto '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD).  I am dealing with iPhoto taking too long to download photos.  Specifically, I rechecked and repaired HD permissions. I am running the most current software my five year old Intel MacBook Pro can run.   What happens is that when I connect an external SD card, or my iPhone, the new version of iPhoto takes up to two full minutes to fully acknowledge the device. Then locate new photos and be ready to download them to my external HD.  I am kind of concerned about this.  This has never happened before. 
    I take 20,000 photos a year.  I really don't want to lose any.  Or is there something I am doing wrong?  Or need to be aware of?  Any experienced suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Have a great day.
    PS.... The cameras I use are Canon SX-30, Nikon D3100, and my iPhone 4S.  Thanks again for your assistance.

    Hello Old Toad.... Those sound like great ideas. 
    I thought I checked and repaired disk permissions on my main boot HD.  That boot disk is Mac OS Extended (Journaled)  Capacity 749.3 GB.  Available 562.53 GB.   BUT.... now that I think of it.... the Seagate external HD with USB2 interface is: Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Capacity 639.79 GB, Available 36.2 GB with my latest iPhoto Library 517.37 GB that was already scanned & updated to be read by the latest iPhoto version. 
    I'll try your suggestions tonight as far as double checking 'permissions' and setting up a tiny test library.
    Or maybe it's time to fill up another External HD?
    I appreciate your and anyone else's suggestions to try.
    Have a great day. ~~ David in Rochester NY

  • Hi. I setup an external hard drive on my AirPort Extreme to act as a central disk for multiple iPhoto libraries. I have a new iMac with iPhoto '11 and an MBPro with iPhoto '09. I'm getting an error message saying different versions. Ideas?

    Long title. Sorry. It pretty much explains the situation. I'd like to have all of my photos from two (ultimately three) computers on this central file and be able to access them from any of the computers. The error message I get when I start up my MBPro is: "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto" and, "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." It then forces me to quit iPhoto. I have tried the suggestion of holding down the opt key on iPhoto startup, but it doesn't seem to help.
    Two questions:
    Can I store multiple iPhoto libraries on the same central disc?
    If so, how should I address the error message?
    Thank you!

    Hey Kappy, thank you for your help! Yes, I can open both libraries on the iMac without problem. I am still confused why the computer that created one of the libraries cannot open said library after it was moved to the external disk. Why is the iPhoto format not readable by all versions across the board?? The reason I'm pushing the issue is because in my household, we have an older MB, my wife's MBP, my MBP and now a new "family" iMac. The MB (circa 2007) has an old version of iPhoto, the two MBP's have iPhoto '08 and the new iMac has '11. It is my goal to have all of the photos that we've accrued over the years, located centrally, and accessible from all of these computers. Is iPhoto the most appropriate program, or would Lightroom make more sense?

  • I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2.1, more by accident I guess. In the older version off iPhoto when I imported photos and gave the event his own name, this name was also used in the "masterfile"

    I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2.1, more by accident I guess. In the older version of iPhoto when I imported photos and gave the event his own name (for exampample "110723 birthday son 2011"), this name was also used in the "masterfile", so I could find the file by his name ("110723 birthday son 2011") in the "masterfile" on my HD and copy and paste it from there to other computers.
    In the new version the file gets stored under a seemingly random number, which does not give me any information about the content.
    Is there a way to fix this? Would it be different in apperture?
    Thanks

    I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem.  All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera.  Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library.  Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that.  To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
    I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it.  I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
    When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing  with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth.  This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it.  If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly).  How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
    Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?
