TS1394 Installed iLife11. Now iPhoto wont open. Says to update software. Software update says no new software available.

Seems to be a catch22 situation. After installing iLife 11 from Install DVD I tried to open iPhoto. Received message that I needed to update to the latest version. Selected Software Update from Apple Menu and received reply that no new software is available.
What do I do now?

Luckily there is more than one way to update software, click on the following link to view avaliable iPhoto updates...

  • I deleted languages now iphoto wont open

    Hi there,
    I deleted all the languages from iphoto . I clicked on the iphoto icon whilst it was in finder, i clicked on info to show details, then i erased all languages( deselected english but somehow still deleted) now iphoto wont open.
    Any suggestions? I thought about backing up the application from time machine but will that erase any new photos i have on current iphoto library?
    Thanks matt

    Matt:
    You'll need to restore the iPhoto application using Time Machine. Restoring the application will not affect your photos. They are separate from the application. *Never delete the English module from any application or the system.*
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Installed Maverick and now iPhoto wont open, help

    I've just installed Maverick from using Snow Leopard and now iPhoto won't open and the message"You can’t open the application “iPhoto” because it is not supported on this type of Mac." appears. Since I have hundreds of photos in iPhoto and iPhoto was supported on this mac previously how can I access them?

    Since my last post I found some instructions courtesy of Old Toad.   They might work for you.
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library if the photos are missing.
    Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • Installed ilife11 now iPhoto not functioning

    I installed ilife11 to have idvd, now when i go to open iPhoto i get message that it cannot open because it is damaged or incomplete. Please help, all i use my mac for is photography.

    1 - you can try runing software update to make sure it is up to date  --  Again what version do you now have?
    OR 
    2 - reinstall iPhoto from the original source (the system restore disks or the App Store) - log in using teh Apple ID you used to set the computer up adn look under purchases - you may have to unhide or accept iPhoto

  • System preferences cannot open because it may be damaged or incomplete??.. and now iphoto wont open... it just shows the loading circle.

    I have not deleted anything... I've used the applications install dvd... I've tried following along with previous conversations BUT nothing seems to be working.. can someone please help me?
    Oh! And since this has been not working... my iphoto won't load aswell.. does anyone know how to fix that issue?

    Diane,
    Your photos are in the iPhoto Library. Almost certainly that is intact, so don't worry.
    Go to your Home folder and open the folder called Pictures. What you want is in there, iPhoto Library. Don't do anything there, this is just to reassure yourself.
    So it is a matter of getting the iPhoto app to work. Apps are in the Applications folder. Find it and trash it.
    Next download iPhoto:

    my iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

    What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Updated my computer to OSX Yosimite 10.10.2, and now my IPhoto wont open

    Updated my computer to OSX Yosimite 10.10.2, and now my IPhoto wont open. It said I needed to update to the newest version of IPhoto through the APP store, so I tried, but it has been stuck on 'INSTALLING' for hours. All of my mothers wedding photos, as well as the photos I need for school are in there! HELP!

    Until you Upgrade to iphoto 9.6 you will not be able to use iPhoto
    You can try canceling the upgrade and re-starting it

  • 11.1.5 installed yesterday now it wont see iphone or open itunes

    11.1.5 installed yesterday now it wont see iphone or open itune - has anyone encountered a similar problem?

    I had same issue.  I flollowed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 and the actual part that fixed it for me was step 5.  Once I finally found it under DEVICES under "portable devices" the connected type of device was only listed as "Apple Iphone" and nothing was listed under the Universal Serial bus Controllers.  After I followed the directions to install the proper mobile device driver then Itunes was able to see my phone.  My PC then also has the correct device listed under the Universal Serial bus Controllers. 
    It is not enough that your connected device says "Apple Iphone" ... so read into the directions step by step for your OS.  I think this is the fix for most new connection issues seen with Itunes 11.1.5!  Nice bench testing Apple.

    i down loaded the update and now it wont open says im missing this file msvcr80 dll

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
