Recent iPhoto update

I don't know why iPhotos needed a update, now all my pics are screwed up. Please put it back the way it was. ty.

Well Photos won't be able to migrate a damaged Library.
To fix the iPhoto library:
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.

  • After the recent iPhoto update, all my themes are gone. Now I can't print.

    After the recent iPhoto update, all my themes vanished so now i can't print. What the heck?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 and later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • After the most recent iPhoto update, I keep getting the following error: "iPhoto quit unexpectedly while using the Sonix SN9c201 webcam plugin."  This seems to happen after *every* iPhoto update.  Is there a fix on the way?

    As you can see below, when I right click, I have no such option.  In the User Account Settings, I'm operating as the "System Administrator".
    Any other suggestions?

    With recent iphoto update, i am having problems opening individual photos.  The photos are there when i scroll through, but when i select one to work with, nothing opens. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your reply.  I did this, but I still can't open any photos when clicked on; "Faces"  don't appear over names; when I try to upload a photo while in facebook...I can't.  I think this is when i first discovered the problem.  Don't know what else to do except take in laptop.

  • Is anyone having problems with syncing photos with iPhone 5 and the recent iPhoto update?

    My iPhone 5 has been fine for most of the week, but recently I updated my iPhoto on my iMac.  Now when I sync my phone with my computer I get an error message.  I restarted computer and phone and then restored the software on the iPhone and problem persisted.  I then unchecked syncing photos to my phone and the sync worked.
    Now I do not have the ability to sync selected photo albums with my iPhone.  Believe this problem occured right when I updated iPhoto. 
    Is anyone else having this problem?

    I am having the same issue. My iPhone 5 is on Verizon and my daughters iPhone 5 is on Sprint. Cannot do anything.

  • Recent iPhoto update fails

    I have iPhoto 11 running on 2011 Macbook Pro - When I try to launch iPhoto, it attempts to install the most recent updates (from last few weeks). It then freezes on 5/9 updates at 98% every time I attempt it and processes show iPhoto using 110% cpu
    I have tried the following:
    Reset PRAM
    Rest PMU
    Repaired Disk Permissions
    com.apple.iPhoto.plist is not in the preferences folder to delete it !!!
    Seems to be no way to roll back or stop the auto update happening whenever app is launched
    - any help would be appreciated!

    Just found a thread from the 'more like this' section which has fixed this!
    If anyone else out there would benefit from the fix, it is:
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.

  • IPhoto update help

    Hi,
    I recently installed Leopard on my PowerBook G4 that previously had Panther running. I have been trying to download the most recent iPhoto updates but I keep getting the message that "An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications." which I am assuming means that I have a really old version of iPhoto and that I need to download older updates first before downloading newer ones. I tried loading updates as early as 4.0.3 and got the same message. Help!

    You need to purchase iLife to upgrade. Free updaters will not change the first digit of the version number except for the now-pulled iPhoto 2 download.

  • After a recent software update my iphoto program no longer responds and freezes  the my imac

    After a recent software update I opened iphoto and was asked if I would like my photos geographic location used for mapping where photos were taken, I answered no and now Iphoto no longer responds and freezes all computer functions. Unable to force quite application. What can I do?

    This is iPhoto for iOS, not OSX.  Despite having the same name, they are completely different programs.  You should repost your question in the iLife/iPhoto area.

  • IPhoto won't open after most recent automatic update

    Hello,
    After my most recent software update, iPhoto will not open. I click on the icon on the desktop (Macbook Pro) and nothing happens. Mac OS X (10.6.8) is my operating system.
    Any help will be appreciated. I am worried I have lost all of my photos.
    Sincerely,
    Megan.

    If you control-click on your iPhoto Library and select "Show Package Contents" there should be a folder in there named "Masters" - it should have all of your his-res photos in it.
    Not certain why you're having problems just opening iPhoto - you may want to take your question to the iPhoto forum - where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.

  • HT1338 I have just completed the recent software update. When opening iPhoto the updates applied themselves and stalled at step 5 at 99% and will not finish. any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

  • IPhoto update can't be installed on my MAC ref. "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." this is not possible help?

    Recent upgrade to OS X Yosemite on my MAC and iPhoto update can not  now be installed msg reads, "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." this is not possible help?

    That error message can be misleading. It means, that iPhoto on your Mac is not associated with your Apple ID.
    Either you did not set up  your Mac using the same Apple ID - did someone help with your setup and use a different ID? Perhaps a family member? Or did you let someone borrow your installer disks?
    Or did you not yet "Accept" iPhoto and other iLife apps to your Apple ID? Check the "Purchased" tab of the App Store, if any applications are waiting to be accepted. If you see "Accept" buttons, press them.
    You may  be unable to "Accept" now, if you missed the update to iphoto 9.5.1 on Mavericks. You could try to buy iPhoto, however. If you are lucky, it may show for free.
    Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, but do not empty the Trash, so you can put it back,if need be.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

  • IPhoto update 'paused'

    My recent (last week) iPhoto update is 'paused' and will not complete.  I see other users have had the same issue recently.  Being new to Apple, I am not clear on what to do to resolve this.  Is there a task manager in the Apple environment whereby I can stop the update task?  Thanks in advance...

    I found this fix for the App Store pause/lock at MacIntouch.com:

    Re:"Is Apple hiring stupider coders, or is this just the way software goes, getting more complex and yet less intelligent?"
    A few days ago a sign-in to the App Store app failed for me ( as a developer I use several Apple IDs for testing and it had saved one of my testing IDs but needed to do software updates for my primary ID ). My primary Apple ID works for iTunes and signing in via Apple's various web pages, so the failure was surprising. The sheet window sign-in appears and after entering the id/password and pressing enter, the window clocks ( SPOD ) and doesn't return to confirm success or failure.
    After a long search and checking the machine (verifying keychain certs and a lot of other stuff), I discovered the following:
    The App Store app has a debug menu that may be turned on via:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    in Terminal.app.
    The 'Reset Application' debug menu option solved my problem. Maybe this will help someone else.
    Might be worth a try.
