Update to iphoto 9.4.2 and subsequent loss of edits
So I restored from time machine into a folder I put in applications .. deleted the plist file, repaired disk permissions with disk utility and on start up with option key pressed pointed iphoto to the backed up library in a folder in the applications folder, finally got it working with edits restored .. shocking that a update from 9.1.5 (if I remember correctly) could cause such a fault .. but anyway ... now I want to get this working library back into the pictures folder, (less than 20 gb), so I have copied the one that had lost the edits or ability to show them? in the pictures folder to a back up drive (just to be safe) and then moved the iPhotos folder in pictures to trash, now when I try to migrate the working iPhotos library i had restored from time machine into the pictures folder all I get is a alias showing, how can I move the actual iPhoto folder (the pretty red one with flowers showing) back into the pictures folder and will it still work when I start iPhoto again I guess with option pushed on start up, and point it back to this same iPhoto library file? hopefully now showing in pictures and working .. just like the fun old times before I pushed the dreaded update button …. thanks
They show the edits when in the folder within the Applications folder, right. It sounds like a permisisons issue. Therefore, apply the fix:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Sslect Option #1.

Update for iphoto ....and i can't find my library or any of my pictures!
Hello Wayne,
well recently did the update for iphoto ....and i can't find my library or any of my pictures! I tried the same procudere that you suggested for numbers and pages, but that did not work. I don't even see the previous iphoto...Do you have any suggestions for this?
Thank you.
EdnaSorry but you need to give details to get help. What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? What upgrade did you just do? Who is Wayne - never sevens anyone named Wayne in this forum? What was the procedure tat was recommended (I doubt that any trouble shooting hints for numbers or pages would apply to iPhoto)?
Remember we can not see you and only know what you tell us

iPhoto update does not let me see any of my devices (iPod, iPhone or iPod Touch) and I need to remove the pictures on some of these devices to free up some space for new pictures.
~JeffGo to iPhoto Preferences/General and make sure Connecting camera opens=iPhoto. Also, check and see if the devices are recognized by iTunes or Image Capture.

I use iWork Pages '09 to create my images. I normally drag and drop photos from iPhoto directly to Pages.
With iPhoto 9.4.3 I now get an error: " The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt". This doesn't happen with every photo from the same event and doesn't get corrected after running 'Repar Permissions'. I can Export to desktop then drag to Pages but that is stupid. What's up???With iPhoto 9.4.3 I now get an error: " The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt".
This looks like previews of some of your photos are missing or corrupted. Did you run a cleaning application, like "clean my mac" or move your iPhoto Library? Where do you store your iPhoto Library?
I'd try to repair the database or rebuild the iPhoto Library in addition to repairing permissions with the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools. Launch iPhoto with the command and options-key ⌥⌘ held down at the same time to get to the First Aid Tools.
Back up the iPhoto Library before you try rebuilding.

I updated from iPhoto 09 to 11 and lost pictures
I also checked and can't find them in my pictures folder on my computer. Thanks for the help!
Please explain more.
Are all photos missing or only some?
Are you seeing a completely empty iPhoto Library, or are some events showing?
I also checked and can't find them in my pictures folder on my computer.
Did you keep the iPhoto library in the default location in the Pictures folder?
And how did you upgrade from iPhoto '09 to '11? Did you perhaps uninstall iPhoto '09 before updating? If yes, how? -
It's apparent that a folder that was visible on my iPhone 5 while running iOS 8.1.1, is no longer visible after an update and restore on iOS 8.1.2. The folder had several apps I used regularly. They must be on the phone, because after initiating a 'Spotlight Search' for apps in they now invisible folder, the appear listed in the results.
Has anyone had this occur on their phone after an upgrade to the new iOS version? Is there anyone that can suggest at 'fix' or should i just try to restore again?
Thanks In Advance,
FabianSo you have checked all of the home screens and the folder does not exist? I've not witnessed hidden folders. Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots, see if you can locate it. If not, then you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This should remove all apps from folders and reset your home screens.

I have up-dated my i Photo through many versions(now Mountain Lion) and although most
No you couldn't. There has never been a version of iPhoto that allowed you to print onto a photo. Perhaps you're confusing it with some other app.
Tp deface a photo on this way you will need an external editor. In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto. -
Wrt610n firmware upgrade v1.00.03 B15 and subsequent loss of mediaserver functionality on xbox
Okay, this is going to take a while to explain, but if you can stick with me to the end and have a helpful suggestion, you will be my hero.
I have today upgraded the firmware on my wrt610n router from the FW_WRT610N_1.00.00.18_20080816_code.bin which is version v1.00.00 B18 to the most recent FW_WRT610N_1.00.03.15_20090514.bin which is version 1.00.03 B15. Since this upgrade, the UPnP media server of the wrt610n router will not function with the xbox 360, nor with the Windows Media Player. It still works on the PS3 though...hmmm...the plot thickens.
Both of these features worked just fine before the upgrade. On the xbox, the wrt610n:mediaserver would show up as a selectable source when going into the Video, Music, or Picture libraries. Similarly, Windows Media Player would recognize the UPnP mediaserver as a source for streaming showing up as wrt610n:mediaserver. I have a PS3 and sure enough, the wrt610n:mediaserver was a selectable source there as well. All was good (mediaserver wise). Why did I upgrade at all? you may ask. That is a whole different story regarding a host of other non-media server issues with the NAS functionality, transfer speeds, and a few other problems that I won't go into any further.
Now let me explain the steps I've taken and some of the knowledge I have about this, so you don't think that I haven't done my research. I disconnected the USB hard drive (I have a Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 500GB external hd) before attempting anything. I also disconnected my laptop from Wi-Fi and ethernet-hardwired him into the router. After the successful flash of the firmware to 1.00.03 B15, I did a hard reset of the router. This was done by holding the reset button for 30 seconds. I let the router "bootup" and also let the laptop acquire a LAN connection. Internet connection was successful. I then unplugged the router and waited for about 30 seconds and then plugged it back in and again my laptop acquired a connection all the way through to the internet. I checked the xbox at this point, hardwired him into the router and was able to sign in to xbox live. Going good so far.
I plugged my USB hard drive into my laptop and deleted .storage_info hidden file to start from scratch with storage configuration. I did NOT attempt to restore a saved backup configuration of my previous settings on the router as this can cause problems (especially with the mediaserver stuff). I downloaded the Seagate drive manager software onto my PC and ran a quick diagnostic to check the hard disk. This was successful. I also used the software to change the power save mode timer on the hard drive to Never, so it would never go to low-power standby. I did this because there were issues with version 1.00.02 B10 (the firmware I skipped (another long story)) where the nas functionality will only work up until the period of time of inactivity that initiates low power standby. Once in standby, the router cannot wake it back up and the drive will appear disconnected until you unplug and re-plug the hard disk USB port. Not a usable solution.
Anyways, at this point the USB hard disk was ready for the router. I safely disconnected it from my laptop, and plugged it into the router. The router recognized the hard drive after a few seconds. I created a user with the same name as my Windows logon and same password, assigned to the Admin group and I tried creating a share of the entire partition and linked that share to the admin group. This is for easier time logging into the share when it is a mapped network drive and reconnecting at logon. This was all successful.
Now comes the media server (remember, everything is still hardwired). I went to the media server sub tab under Storage and enabled UPnP and saved settings. I then went into Specify Folder to Scan and chose the Music folder and assigned the name as "music" and created it. That folder then appeared as a "folder to scan". At that point I saw that the hard drive was "working" which tells me that the mediaserver was indexing the contents for later streaming. When the drive stopped its I/O work, I tried looking for the mediaserver as a source in both the xbox and Windows media player, but to no avail. This is the crux of my problem. The mediaserver is not showing up in either interface for me to choose it to stream content. However, when I tried to find it on the PS3, it was there! I was able to use the mediaserver on the PS3 and it streamed the music like a champ. It showed up as a source called WRT610N. You can get some information from the PS3 and I see the ip address and manufacturer is PacketVideo and the Model is TwonkyMedia. I went back to the xbox and Windows Media Player, but it was still not there. **bleep**! I tried manually forcing a scan of the contents in the firmware, but that didn't help.
Now I realize that twonkyvision is the 3rd party media server for wrt610n routers. We also used to be able to access the twonkyvision web interface by going to port 9000 (example: http://192.168.1.1:9000/ ), but that access was taken away by the previous firmware release v1.00.02 B10. I used to get that "twonkyvision license is expired" crap a while ago (another long story). This access is still gone in this most recent firmware release.
My hypothesis is that the newer TwonkyMedia server has used a UPnP standard that neither the xbox, nor Windows Media Player support right now, but the PS3 does. I will most likely have to go back to my previous working version of the router firmware unless one of you brave souls can help.
And there you have it. Any takers?!

Updated to iPhoto 9.6 and lost all of my photos
Hello, I just updated to iPhoto at its prompting and lost my iPhoto library. I am trying to restore it from TimeMachine, but the finder has been saying it is "preparing to copy Pictures" for several minutes with no progress. Help! I've seen other users with this issue, it is insane that this happened, reminds me of windows updates from the 90s.
I am trying to restore it from TimeMachine, but the finder has been saying it is "preparing to copy Pictures" for several minutes with no progress.
How are you restoring from Time Machine? Don't use the Finder to copy, that will not work.
Enter Time Machine with your Pictures folder selected. See this Help text:

problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc
"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 error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
If iPhoto is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.
No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
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 -

I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...
iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.

Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2 -
Several months ago, I kept getting prompted to 'update' my iphoto library. When I finally clicked on the 'update' button, it 'greyed out' ALL of my photos. Now ALL of my photos are grayed out and I can't see ANY of my pictures unless I click on each grayed out photo individually and open them, ALL of the thumbnails are greyed out. It is THE WORST!! I have no idea how to fix this problem and its been MONTHS AND MONTHS of *** pain. Anyone?? Please help!!!
Thanks so much!!!Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
and please tell us what version of iPhoto and of the OS you have
