Upgraded ilife last week-update today says library needs upgrade to work

I am afraid to allow this upgrade for fear I will lose my library. This is what pops up>>>>
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
Library will not be readable by previous versions afterwards.
Please tell me what this means. Thanks

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. .

    What update are you referring to?  If you do a search for "Kodak" in the iPhoto community you'll find numerous posts regarding problems with Kodak cameras. 
    So far there's no known fix.  The best workaround is to use a card reader with the memory card of the camera.

    if you are subscribed to the Hardwell podcast... quickly open the Podcast app and delete the most recent Hardwell podcast from 3/22.
    for some reason that's causing the crash. i've deleted and it works fine again.

    Your Apple id password is not necessarily the same as your log-in password.
    The former is what you use to log-in to Apple services and sites. The latter is what you use to login to your computer. That does not change when you change your Apple ID password. Try the original computer login password.

    Hi billyboy95,
    As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If you have tried those two things, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

  • HT204308 Did software update today and now iPhoto is not working.  I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    Did software update today and now IPhoto is not working.  Operating system is OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    What OS X version did you upgrade from? What iPhoto version did you have before upgrading? You cannot upgrade a version of iPhoto from a pre-10.10.2 OS X version installation. You needed iPhoto 9.6.1.

  • At certain times I get a Red Square bos. It says that this so and so page are attack pages and tells me to install an update from Firefox. Not being sure what to do I immediately close Firfox without installing the update it says I needed to do.

    It's a Red box with a Policeman on it, saying this is a reported attack site and says I need to install a Firefox update. I immediately close my History on Firefox, and then close the browser. Don't install the update it says I need to, since Red usually means STOP. Have gone to the Firefox website to see about new updates. Should I go ahead and install the update?

    Thanks. You confirmed my suspicions, and I hope others do not fall for this. It usually happens with the site:

    or
    PrimeWire.ag (This is the name for the new 1 Channel due to its being hijacked)

  • I am getting some update that says I need to have geno as my home page and down load something else on the computer to run the maverick os system

    I am getting some update that says I need to have geno as my home page and down load something else on the computer to run the maverick os system. Is this you or some hacker

    Is your iMac running okay? Where are you getting this update from? Especially if it is an e-mail, I would not do what the 'update' is suggesting.
    Your profile shows you are running Mavericks. If everything is okay, then it would appear to me you don't need to download something to run Mavericks.

  • IPhoto Keeps Saying "Library needs to be upgraded".

    So I've upgraded to iPhoto 9.2. Everytime I launch the app, I get a message saying I need to update my library. I agree to do so and all is good - the app launches. However, everytime I re-open iPhoto, I get this message. Any ideas why?

    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:

  • 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

  • How do I get my albums and pictures to match correctly? Ever since the last iPhoto update my entire library has been in disarray. i.e. my wedding album have pics from vacation album. Which was not the case before.   MacBook Pro 2010

    Ever since I did the lastest iPhoto update my picture albums have not correctly matched up with the corresponding photos. i.e. my wedding pictures now show up in my vacation album.  The picture thumbnails are not showing me the correct photos. 
    15 inch MacBook Pro Late 2010
    iPhone 4

    I have iPhoto '11 with the lastest software update. I forgot what number it currently is. I am vigalant when it comes to the latest software updates. Yes, I did restore my iPhoto pictures from a backup since I founf out I could not share any of my pics using my apeture library since they were not the orginals. So, after the back-up of iPhoto all my pictures albums and the pics in the album do not match up, even the thumbnails.  I find this quite annoying. All my albums were working and correctly before this update.  As for apeture can I re-master all the photos there masters? so i can just do away with using iPhoto all together?
    Thanks for the quick reply!
