Frankly that is not a good idea
What exactly dd you do? Backin up your pictures is ot the same as backing up your iPhoto library - and if you pur your iPhoto library on an external drve it must be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - if you backed up your iPhoto library then siply drag it back to the picture folder and launch iPhoto
i open iphoto it asks what library to use
That is because you have no iPhoto library in your pictures folder
deleted my pictures off of my computer.
And that is why

    Yes, connect to your computer with the latest version of iTunes installed and restore it. If it doesn't show up in iTunes when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I installed latest software updates today and now iphoto won't work at all - heeelllppp!

    Hello
    i installed latest software updates today and since then iphoto will not work at all.  The window oens but it remains blank, and when I go to force quit it says iphoto not responding, so it's as if it's crashing on startup.  I can't access my photo library or put new photos in the library from my camera, in fact I can't do anything at all with it. 
    I am in Africa a long way from home and tech support, so please can anyone help me??  Im a bit desperate as my whole photo library is inaccessible, and it will be months before I am back in the UK.
    I am not hugeley techie so plain English please. 
    Thanks

  • TS1702 I updated song pop and now it won't work

    I updated song pop and now it won't even open the page

    Try the basic steps?
    Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or delete the app and reinstall it. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it wiggle then tap the X on the icon to delete it. Tap the home button when done. Download the app again.

  • Updated to ios6 and now it won't work in the car

    **** - this apple help is really not helping
    i updated my iphone to the io6 and now it doesn't work in my car.  Why's that?  I tried another iphone with the same problem, it was just updated to io6 and now nothing works ***

    No - I updated my iphone last week to ios 6 and now when I use my phone in my car to listen to my music on the iphone it says 'no directory...'.  I tried another iphone, just updated, and it said the same thing - then I asked if I could use a iPod, it's the old version ios 5 and it worked fine. 

  • Update just installed and now iPhoto won't open.

    The Software Update message appeared ... so I updated.  After that a message appeared that my iPhoto library would need to be updated in order to open.  Sfar ... Fine! ... This is as per usual.  It went through Upgrading Steps to 9 of 9.
    But now ... iPhoto will not open.
    I had the latest version of iPhoto available.  My Mac runs on Version 10.7.4
    What is going on???

    I had the latest version of iPhoto available.  My Mac runs on Version 10.7.4
    No you don't. Not if you're running 10.7.4.  The latest version of iPhoto is 9.5.1 and only runs on Mavericks, 10.9.5. 
    So give us the exact version you're using.  Go to the iPhoto menu and select About iPhoto to get the version.

  • I "upgraded" my software now iphotos won't work

    I did the upgrade to my system, and now I cannot get iphotos to work. I get the following error message:
    Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt.
    What do I do! Help!

    The only version of iPhoto that works with 10.10.3 is iPhoto 9.6.1 which must be downloaded from the App Store. What version of iPhoto do you have installed?

  • I updated my iPhone 5s, now it won't work

    I updated my iPhone 5s and now it flashes a white screen with the apple logo, switches to the blue screen of death, and then goes black. This cycle has repeated for a day, I have tried charging it, plugging it into a computer, and pressing various buttons in different patterns. I got it yesterday, please help.

    Try resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the "Slide to Unlock" screen should display.
    Cheers,

  • Updating my phone and now it won't work

    Of course I didn't back it up
    Then of course you can't recover your data.  The article from Apple on how to update your iOS recommends to make a backup first.
    Not making backups is a very risky business.  Tell, me, what would you have done if, say, your iPhone had been lost?  Stolen?  Damaged beyond repair?
    This is a harsh lesson to learn.  There are two kinds of people in the world; those that have lost data, and those that will lose data.  The difference is, are you properly prepared to recover the loss?
    I advise you to start backing up your important data, whether it is on you phone or on your computer, immediately.

  • Rebuilding library and now iphoto won't open

    We recently upgraded to Lion and now iphoto won't work. I'm trying to rebuild my library but I can't even get iphoto to open now. Has anyone else had issues using iphoto after upgrading to Lion?

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library.  If you can't then give this a try:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    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.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion.  I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!

    I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion.  I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!
    Please! I need an answer fast!!!!

    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. .

  • Updated to 10.10.3 and now iPhoto won't open

    I upgraded the OS 10.10.3 and now iPhoto won't open. It says "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."  However, when I go to the Mac App Store, there is no iPhoto.
    I don't know what version of iPhoto I was running. I believe it was the most recent (9.6)
    I also noticed that the iPhoto icon has a circle with a line through it
    The support article says I can use iPhoto concurrently with the new photos

    I have the same issue: updated from OSX 10.10.2 to 10.10.3, which killed iPhoto.
    I have v.9.6, but apparently 9.6.1 is needed; I keep all my software updated, but never got an update notification.
    Any way, I get the same 'dead' icon as above:
    I can launch the program, but then I get:
    And when I go searching the App Store (Belgium), I get:
    Please, can anyone tell me how I can get a copy of iPhoto 9.6.1, which 'should' be compatible with my OSX (10.10.3).
    Before updating the OS (from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3) I did make a clone on an external HD. I have now booted from that external HD, but nowhere can I find iPhoto 9.6.1, so that I can update.

  • I updated my computer to the mavericks and now my iPhoto won't work

    I updated my computer to the mavericks and now my iPhoto won't work. And when I go to update iphoto, it says it cant be downloaded onto my computer.

    Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.

  • New harddrive, now iPhoto won't open

    The harddrive in my PowerBook G4 had to be replaced (again) but this time I thought I was smart because i had been using Backup to backup my stuff to an external harddrive on a regular basis.
    Now iPhoto won't open because it says:
    "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    I know that I had the latest version of iPhoto on the old harddrive but now have 4.0.3.
    I have tried to update to 5 but it won't take that either:
    "an eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location/Applications/iPhoto.app"
    even though it is there!
    So, why didn't Backup backup my iPhoto 6 app?
    What can I do to get my photos off of the external harddrive?
    Ugh!
    thanks,

    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    So, why didn't Backup backup my iPhoto 6 app?<<<</div>
    Backup sw backs up DATA, i.e. those files that you created, such as photos, movies, word Docs, etc. It does not back up applications such as iPhoto etc. That should have been very obvious when you configured the Backup template.
    What can I do to get my photos off of the external harddrive?<<<</div>
    You need to load iPhoto-6 from your iLife-06 DVD (the same one that you used when you originally loaded iPhoto-6).
