Upgraded iPhoto library no longer accessible

Hi All, I performed an upgrade through Apple to my '08 version of iphoto in the late winter/early spring months (Feb/March time period). Ever since then I have not been able to access my pictures via the icon on my desktop. I get an error message that reads "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto." It then goes on to tell me that I have upgraded to a newer version (when the heck did I do that??) and that I need to use the newer version in order to open my photo library.
Life was a little busy for me and I am just now getting around to dealing with this issue. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This is a symptom 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.

  • IPhoto Library no longer accessible from Photoshop

    Till now I used a Power Book G4, I life 05 and Photoshop CS2. No problem opening iPhoto Library pictures in Photoshop for working on them.
    I built different iPhoto Libraries for getting them lighter...
    Now I got an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, 3.06 Ghz with iLife 09 but still with CS2.
    The thing is: If I open one of the libraries with iPhoto8, the library is rebuilt to the new standarts of the new version of iPhoto but after that, this iPhoto Library is completly inaccessible to Photoshop (the Library icon is in grey).So impossible to browse and select a picture !!
    I must precise I desinstaled CS2 and reinstaled it from the CD but the problem is persistant.
    Regarding the other libraries that I didn't open at the time (and consequently are not "rebuit"), I have no problem for opening the pictures with CS2.
    Who can tell me where is the problem? Is it a new rule (no access to other applications?).
    The fact is this is very boring and a waste of time opening first iPhoto and then dragging the pictures in a "transit" folder before at last opening them with CS2......

    Gerard:
    The following are tips on how to use Photoshop from within iPhoto as the editor or choice:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

  • Iphoto not responding - Cannot upgrade iPhoto library after iWork'06 instal

    I just installed iLife '06 - but now I can't access my iphoto library.
    A screen pops up with the following message " The photo libary needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto". However, when I hit the "update" button - iPhoto doesn't respond. The screen says "updating photo library.... time remaining x minutes" - but iPhoto never installs. After 20 minutes or so I just get an error message.
    I would welcome your help. I purchased iLife to be able to upgrade iphoto for holiday gifts - and no I am in trouble !
    thanks

    You ask:
    Have these pics been edited with Photoshop? Or
    Photoshop Elements?
    Answer: no
    Can you post a copy of the Crash Report:
    Yes: ( I hope I did this correctly).
    Thank you very much for taking the time to help me.

  • Upgrading iPhoto library to iPhoto '08 corrupted the library

    I've seen discussions on a similar topic, but none with quite the same issue. I moved my iPhoto library from my old iBook G4 to my also old (but upgraded) PowerBook G4. The PowerBook G4 had iPhoto '08, so my library was converted/upgraded when I opened it the first time. This corrupted the library. I was able to rebuild part of the library but manually dragging the individual folders in the iPhoto package contents to the iPhoto icon in the dock, saving half of the pictures, but it isn't working for the rest of them. Specifically, those pictures whose organization (album names) were retained in the iPhoto library package contents were successfully imported. But for the rest of the pictures, iPhoto imposed its own organization in the package contents: that is, my album names are no longer there, and the photos are organized in folders with dates (eg, April 1, 2010) for their names. When I try to manually import these pictures by dragging the date-named folder to the dock, I get an error message. What do I do?

    I would start by trying again - updating older iPhoto libraries does not normally corrupt them - connect he two systems together and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto

  • Upgrade iPhoto Library

    I get the following message when trying to open iPhoto for the first time since my most recent upgrade ...
    "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
    Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete."
    This makes me nervous. I have thousands of pictures stored in my iPhoto library and they are backed up to two different external hard drives. Does this mean that all the pictures stored on the external hard drives will not be readable in the new iPhoto?
    What is it that makes the pictures unreadable by previous versions of iPhoto? Will this cause trouble when trying to share pictures with other people? Thanks.

    It means exactly what it says. Once you upgrade previous versions of iPhoto can no longer access your iPhoto library. Unless you have multiple computers with different versions of iPhoto then this not an issue
    And of course you must always make a backup of your library before updating

  • Can't upgrade iPhoto Library - 'unable to write to library "iPhoto Library"'

    I apologise in advance if this is a little convoluted.
    I have a MacBook Pro purchased a little over a year ago and I'm not sure what version of iPhoto is was running. It had a meltdown when I tried to upgrade to Mountain Lion and was ably serviced and returned to me with all my data heroically saved and stored in a shared folder.
    When I got it back I upgraded successfully to Mountain Lion and installed all the iPhoto updates. After a false start, and having to reinstall iPhoto I am now running 9.4.3.
    I have shifted my old iPhoto Library out of the shared folder and into the Pictures folder where it sits alongside the pretty much empty iPhoto Library created automatically by the install. When I try to open my old Library it says it needs to be upgraded, which makes sense, but immediately after the upgrade commences I get an error message saying 'Unable to write to library "iPhoto Library" Check that you have permission to write to the library directory'. I am not sure what to do from this point.
    I have verified that the photos are all still in the old iPhoto Library Package.
    Thank you.
    Melanie

    Hang on - I had browsed extensively, but it was only after I wrote my question that all the other similar ones popped up on the side bar. I've followed the advice in some of those and it seems to be working. I apologise, but I seem to be unable to delete this discussion.

  • Why is my iPhoto library no longer an option for Screen Saver in Mavericks?

    My Screen Saver no longer pulls random photos from my selected iPhoto library. When I went into System Preferences --> Screen Saver I no longer see iPhoto folders as a Screen Saver option. Was a change made with Mavericks? When I try to select my Pictures -> iPhoto Library from the Screen Saver it is greyed out.
    Thanks!

    There are no drivers.  I didn't have to install anything the first time around, there's nothing on the website that mentions OSX support.

  • I bought my new MacBook Pro yeaterday and am unable to download photos. I tried three times to upgrade iPhoto Library but can't.

    Why can't I download iPhoto Library on my new MacBook Pro. With 22 years as a Mac user, Maverick is causing problems I never ecxperience before. I hit download three times and still get the message to upgrade.

    Contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane.

  • Upgrade iPhoto library gives error

    I recently bit the bullet and decided to upgrade to iPhoto 11 or iPhoto 9.2.3 from the App Store.  When I tried to open my current iPhoto library it asked me to upgrade the library.  I clicked "Upgrade".  It began "Examining" the library.  After a few minutes, it gave me an error that it could not read the file type of the library. 
    I've run BatChmod and adjusted the permissions for a few libraries.  I am still getting the same error. 
    What can I do to get iPhoto to open my previous iPhoto libraries.  Updating an App should not be this difficult.  I'm fairly unimpressed with Apple and this software at this time. 

    my NAS backup is going to see the whole disk image as a 'new file' and
    I don't think that will be the case if you use a sparse bundle disk image.
    +A sparse bundle is essentially the same as a sparse disk image. The difference is that a sparse image is one giant file on your disk and a sparse bundle is lots of small files (8 megabytes each). They work and look the same way, but you can right-click on a sparse bundle, select "show package contents" and see the individual 8 meg sections.+
    If the backup software can do incremental backups and work on packages I think it will work on the sparse bundle disk image. Might be worth a try.
    Happy New Year

  • Trying to upgrade iPhoto library

    I’m trying to up prepare a v7 iphoto library for use in iphoto v9.5.1. When I try open it I get an error message that says “To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple.” Then I have to quit or learn more. I downloaded the library upgrader from apple, but when I try to upgrade I get the message “Your library can now be upgraded in the current version or iphoto. Do you want to launch iphoto?” My only options are to quit or launch iphoto. When I launch iphoto I’m right back where I started, with it telling me to use the upgrader. I’m stuck!

    Yes, I ran the upgrader. That's what gave me the message “Your library can now be upgraded in the current version or iphoto. Do you want to launch iphoto?” It wouldn't actually upgrade the library, just forced me to open iPhoto which in turn gave me the original error message. I did some more internet research and found a 3rd party program called iPhoto library manager which I used to rebuild the iPhoto library and that worked like a charm. I still feel like there should be a more straightforward way to do it within the iPhoto software though. 

  • Upgrading iPhoto Library keeps stalling out

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Upgrading Iphoto Library

    Bugs in Iphoto database upgrade can be disastrous. Have attempted it twice now and can not find my pictures. Anyone out there wanting to import your earlier versions of Iphoto database to this one. Proceed with caution. If you get a message that states "photo library needs to be upgraded" Your photo library will not be readable by previous libraries. I followed the instructions to the T

    Found this on Macintouch:
    David Ticzon
    I finally got my problem solved....
    Turns out that there are some plug ins that are causing problems with the upgrade of the iPhoto library to iPhoto '11. I had the pleasure of meeting an iPhoto engineer (at my house), who took a copy of my 73 GB iPhoto library to Apple to determine why my IPhoto would crash during the library update. (Yes, I gave Apple my personal library). I was selected since I am near the Apple Campus.
    I told the engineer that they are playing with people's lives, because our photos are very important to us. He told me that they are aware of that, and are investigating the problem. (I had my library go from 73 GB shrink to 9 GB when I tried to upgrade to iPhoto '11.)
    It turns out, an old plug-in from the Joe Soft application, called Hear, was causing my problem. Even though this was a iTunes enhancement application, it had ties to the movie files (via Quicktime) that are in my iPhoto library.
    Other plug ins that can cause problems are the DIVX plug in and AVI Converter plug ins.
    Once I removed the offending plug in, my library converted within a hour and I was happy to be enjoying the new version of iPhoto. I will keep my old iPhoto 9 Library, just in case if I have a problem. (I am testing importing photos from all of my cameras and iPhones, just to make sure import works.)
    I was also told that I can do the conversion in "Safe Mode" (hold Shift Key down during startup) if I didn't want to remove the plug ins. However, I needed to know if it was really the plug in, so I did the upgrade in the regular mode with the offending plug in removed.
    I have to say that I had moved a copy of the original iPhoto Library to a stripped computer (has no plug ins) and tried converting it to iPhoto '11, and it converted without any problems. Therefore, I know it was a plug in issue.
    I was told that I can move the converted library to my main computer (that has the plug ins) and should not have any problems running iPhoto. The plug in problem only occurs during the conversion process.
    Regarding the Projects (Books) items, they all converted without any problems. I have open them and verified. All albums are working and all 26,000+ photos are working!
    I have shut down and restarted iPhoto and also shut down and restarted my computer, then launch iPhoto without any problems. I actually think iPhoto '11 loads much faster than iPhoto '09
    A regular fix is in the works.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks again iPhoto Team!

  • Upgrading iPhoto Library from Apple Time Capsule

    I have put my iPhoto library onto my Time Capsule, and I know I need to upgrade my library. Every time I open iPhoto, I am asked to upgrade my library, and I click on upgrade, but it never finishes. After several minutes of attempting to upgrade, the app just quits on its own. I would like to access my photo library. How can I fix this problem?

    How is the TC connected to your Mac? (It must be a fast hard wired connection like FireWire, USB or ThunderBolt for iPhoto - a network or wireless connection will not work)
    Is it being used strictly as an External Hard Drive - or is it the destination for you TimeMachine backup? (if so you can not have your iphoto library on it)
    Probably the fix will be to put it back on your internal drive - or on a separate EHD formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled) with a fast wired connection

  • Upgrading iPhoto Library Manager and Lost folders...

    I've been using iPhoto Library Manager (ver. 3.4.?) and iPhoto 8 with most photos on an external LaCie drive. I've just upgraded to iPhoto Library Manger ver. 3.5.6. I didn't know that a new version of that program would present an empty library list. I also had a good-old fashioned folder, on the LaCie drive that contained photos. After the upgrading, I cannot find that folder. I think that may have to do with iPhoto Library Manager creating a new library inside that plain-jane folder. Does anyone have experience with this program and how to find lost folders and photos?

    Thank you and say "hi" to beautiful Ireland. My family stills farms east of Galway.
    Let me explain further. In the last version of iPhoto Library Manager, before I upgraded to a newer version, when opened, it showed in the iPhoto Libraries list many libraries, most on the external drive and one on the HD of the Mac.
    When I would select one of the libraries on the external drive (ed), then I would see what each of those libraries contained including several which had not only jpg photos but some with a "folder" containing those jpg photos. I could then open those libraries or even those "folders" and access the photos with iPhoto.
    After upgrading iPhoto LM, the libraries list was blank. I began populating it again by selecting "Add Library" and selecting from the list that occurred. Here's where the mystery began. There was a "folder," not a library that came up on that list of photos on the ed. That folder contained hundreds of jpg photos. When I clicked on that folder, iLM said that there was no library in that folder and provided a button to create one. I did that. Since that point, the folder and its contained jpg photos have disappeared but there is "library" on the iPM list window that wasn't there before. When I select it to open in iPhoto, it shows there are no photos.
    I hope this may not be as bewildereing to you as to me.

  • Upgrading iphoto Library fails

    I recently purchased a new iMac. Upon opening the new iPhoto, it asks to upgrade my existing library, which is on an external drive, but it gets about one quarter of it done, then I just get the spinning beachball, and have to force-quit. Any way to fix this, or do I just need to re-install?
    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Re-installing won’t make any difference as the issue is with your Library and not with iPhoto.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions in the Library.
    If that doesn’t help:
    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
