Unable to open iPhoto due to compatability problem.

I had my brother burn a disc with images of our 4 kids. He as iphoto 09, I have 08. I was able to open the file on my desktop, select all images, and drag them into iphoto the seemed to have imported. I then shut down iphoto, and just tried to reopen it (24 hours later) to do the project necessary with the photos. This is the message I am getting. "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." I can do nothing. The only option available is to his the "Quit" button. All of my pictures of my kids are in there. I can not open it at all. I have meant for a year now to back up all my pictures, but never have. I have no idea what to do. Is my only option to spend $80 and get iphoto 09?

This is often a sign of a damaged database.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
I have meant for a year now to back up all my pictures, but never have.
Learn anything from this experience?

Unable to open iPhoto 9.4.1 after update

Hello,
Since I updated iPhoto on my computer (version: Mac OS X 10.7.5), I am unable to open iPhoto. It crashes each time I try.
The same happens with Aperture ...
In consequence, I can't access my pictures :-(
What should I do?
Thanks for your help.

Terence,
I reinstalled the OS, it still crashes.
What else can I do?
Enclosed the first lines of the crash report.

I am unable to open Iphoto

Hi,
I am unable to open Iphoto, I get an error message that reads "you cant' open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Any thoughts?

Hopefully you have a back-up just in case.
If you have TimeMachine just restore the iPhoto.app
You could also try holding the option-command keys down when you launch iphoto, See if you can repair this way to make it happy- if it is a database problem.
IPhoto is on your install DVD if you need to reinstall a fresh copy of the app.

Unable to open iphoto after ver 11 upgrade

Unable to open iphoto after ver 11 upgrade.

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.
If that fails:
Option 2
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. .
Regards
TD

I just replaced my hard drive and restored everything from Time machine. However, I am unable to open iphoto and the following message appears Your photo library was not found. Do you want to find your iPhoto Library?

Where do I find this library?
thanks

Twas quite a hassle if I am honest which was eventually resolved but I don't feel qualified to help anyone through the process as it required a trip to my local apple store and a genius bar appointment.
Personally, I would do anything like moving pictures out of folders etc. Certainly not creating a new users. i don't think that is an elegant solution
Try the following which MAY just about rescue the situation for you but if they don't work you may have to do something more drastic.
(1) Holding down Cmd & Alt at the same time, start iPhoto by clicking on the iPhoto icon. From the resulting menu choose Rebuild photo library by selecting all available options given to you and then pressing REBUILD!
If that doesn't work
(2) Fire up Utilities. Go to migration assistant. Chose 'From another Time machine back-up'. Open the 'Users' option that comes up next and from there select Pictures, then uncheck everything else like Applications etc (you don't want to do a full migration of everything) and click go.
If that doesn't work, take a deep breath and this step is rather complicated but it worked for me. First of all close iPhoto! Then go to new Finder window.
From the Finder window choose Pictures, then iPhoto library, press CMD and the letter i. It brings up a new window. Go to Sharing & permissions. From there select the padlock to unlock settings. and then select User account, then press the 'cog' icon next to +/- abd choose Apply to enclosed items.
This may take a while. Once completed, re-open iPhoto.
And that should (I stress should) cure it.
Good luck.

Where are my photos? just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

where are my photos? just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

You can't open your backups directly with apps.
But you can see some types of files in your backups. If you're still on Snow Leopard (or Lion with iPhoto '09 or earlier), see the gray box at the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.
If you're on Lion with iPhoto '11, you can use the Finder to see the iPhoto library, per the beginning of that same link. All you can see there is the library and size.

Unable to open iPhoto after upgrade to 9.1.3 (bought on apple store)

Hello all
I am unable to open my iPhoto after upgrading it with version 9.1.3 , bought in the apple store.
The searching icon never stops.
I trieded to synchro with my iPad (where I have a backup of all my pfoto's) but the system tells me that all photo's are still on my Mac.
Can someone help me out, because I am rather a rookie in this kind of things
regards
Waldo

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library. If you can then then your library is the culprit.
If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library (Finder ➙ File ➙ Duplicate) and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ 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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on MacBook Pro - unable to open iPhoto and Photo Booth

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro (bought in 2011). Since the Yosemite upgrade, I have been unable to open both iPhoto and Photo Booth at all. I have lots of photos and need to access them. Both icons of iPhoto and Photo Booth have a circle with a bar across them, in my dock.
When I click on iPhoto I get the message " In order to open “iPhoto”, you need to update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store". I have tried upgrading iPhoto on the App store but get an error message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store" .
Since I cannot even view my photos, I cannot store them elsewhere. Please, can someone help me resolve this problem!!!
For Photo Booth, when I click on it, it says "You can’t use this version of the application “Photo Booth” with this version of OS X. You have Photo Booth 3.0.3" - gives me no option to upgrade at all.
Would appreciate help for both iPhoto and Photo Booth issues described above, with iPhoto being the most pressing concern. Thank You.

The new app is called Photos. It's icon was added to the Dock. Both, Photos and iPhoto, are located in your Applications folder.
If you need to upgrade iPhoto, follow these instructions prepared by Barney-15E: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431

I've just downloaded 'Aperture' and I'm still unable to open iPhoto?

Hi, I have just downloaded 'Aperture' at a cost of £55.00! as I was unable to open up 'iphoto'.
I now have Apeture latest version available, 3.5.1.
I have 'iphoto 9.5.1'
When I click on iphoto, I get this message:
To open this Aperture library in iPhoto, it first needs to be upgraded with Aperture 3.3 or later. Quit iPhoto and then open your library in Aperture to upgrade it.
When I click on Apeture, and try to use 'iphoto' I get the same message?
can anyone help please.
Cheers, Mike
My Old Macbook Pro
Software OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

o.k. Mike, the iPhoto application and the Aperture application are, fine, your external drive is fine.
When I click on iphoto, I get this message:
To open this Aperture library in iPhoto, it first needs to be upgraded with Aperture 3.3 or later. Quit iPhoto and then open your library in Aperture to upgrade it.
Your iPhoto library is not fine. Where is the library stored, that iPhoto is trying to open?
My photo's are both on my harddrive and my external harddrive. My external harddrive is has only iphoto pictures on it.
I thought this means, that your iPhoto library is on the external drive?
I do not have a problem with my external harddrive.
It is very rarely attached to my computer, and only used when I want to search for a particular place we have been to.
So, do you have a second iPhoto library on your internal drive? Do you get the above error message only when your external drive is not attached?

Unable to open iPhoto-- created with unreleased version?

Hi,
The other day I had to do a hard reset on my laptop after it froze while trying to come out of sleep mode (black screen, frozen mouse pointer).
After I restarted & launched iPhoto (5.0.4) I get this message: "This photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto. Please quit and upgrade this library by opening it in iPhoto 2 or iPhoto 4." Quit is my only option.
I tried installing iPhoto 4 but it wouldn't let me.
Simultaneously, my iTunes 8 library became damaged and I had to re-import all of my music... I've lost all of my playlists, iPhone Apps & all but one TV Show, but Movies & Podcasts are still there.
I booted my laptop from the system disk & repaired my harddrive, then repaired permissions as well. Problem persists.
Someone on a forum had suggested using iPhoto Library Manager, but when I launched it I get the message: "The album data file for this library is malformed. Conversion of data failed. The file is not UTF-8, or in the encoding specified in XML header if XML."
On a side note, I noticed that the AlbumData.xml file had changed to a Final Cut Pro icon. (I've since changed it to Open With iPhoto)
It seems like my photos are still on my harddrive... is there a way to open iPhoto without referencing my old library, then re-import my photos? Also, worried that this little crash will mess up syncing with my iPhone...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Jordan,
Your iPhoto database was damaged in the crash. Since iPhoto Library Manager can't fix it, you need to create a new library and start from scratch. This [Apple article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2042?viewlocale=en_US] has instructions for performing a manual rebuild. You might also read [these instructions by lori_diloreto|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1853164] which pertain specifically to an iPhoto 5 library. The results will differ, but her post gives a clear explanation of what to expect if you use that method.
On the other hand, if you have a recent backup copy of the iPhoto Library folder from before the crash, you can replace your damaged iPhoto Library folder with the backup to get back to that previous state. Rename and move the broken one first so you don't overwrite it or delete it until you are ready.
Regards.

Unable to open iPhoto - message states 'your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable' Gone to 'Photo Library First Aid' but unsure of safest option as haven't backed up photos.

Can not open iPhoto in order to access pictures in library. I haven't backed up all my photos so I am concerned about loosing my pictures. what is the safest action to solve this problem?

Start by backing up now:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Then try restart your Mac.

10664: Unable to open iPhoto

I bought the iLife 11 upgrade. iMovie and Garageband works fine, but I get the error message in the subject line above when i try to open iPhoto.
I tried to remove all the programs and reinstall (several times) but I always get the same result.
Best regards,
Rainiac123

I think I am having a similar issue. My iMovie and Garage Band work beautifully, but any time I try to open iPhoto an error message pops up in a dialog box saying,
"*In order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the latest version.*
Please run Software Update to install it now."
I have already run any updates to it or my computer as a whole, but it still says this every time I try to open the application. I have used the file both inside and outside of the main applications folder and the result is always the same. I do still have the old iPhoto on my computer, but this holds for and does nothing to my iMovie or Garage Band '11.
Is this your same problem or is your issue something different?

Iphoto ver 8.1.2 unable to open iphoto. can hold down mouse button and 1 page of iphoto will open. click anywhere on screen and iphoto closes

Cannot open iPhoto. It's on the toolbar, but will not open. I can hold the mouse over the icon and hold the mouse button down and iPhoto will open to a thumbnail photo, but if I click anywhere on the page, iPhoto closes. iPhoto shows open on top of page, but practically all selectable items are gray.

It sounds like the window might have slipped down below the Dock or similar. Try change your screen resolution and (SystemPreferneces -> Displays) and that should force it back into reach. The return the resolution to whatever it was.

Unable to open iPhoto due to compatability problem.
