Upgrading iPhoto 2 to iPhoto 08 hangs every time, Please, PLEASE Help.

I'm trying to upgrade my Fathers version of iPhoto 2 (2.01) to iPhoto 08 (v7.1.1), and upon launching it, it prompts to upgrade the iphoto library, but when doing so will hang every time, and I eventually have to force quit iPhoto.
A couple things to note:
There are no locked pictures or folders in the iPhoto library, and the permissions seem to be correct.
Ive tried copying the iphoto library to different drives and computers all with the same result.
He has many custom albums and most of his 3000+ pictures have been named accordingly which I'm trying to preserve.
Upon force quit, I have saved the error report to a text file if that would help for someone to figure it out.
Please Help.

It's perfectly possible to go from v2 to v7 and there is no need to go through any of the intermediate versions.
The problem you are having is not with the app, but rather with the Library, and this problem is going to affect any attempt to upgrade.
The most likely cause is actually a permissions issue. I know you say that you've checked them, but try Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

(Credit to Old Toad for this one).
It'll only take a couple of seconds.
If that fails, then the next mostl likely culprit is a damaged file. To track one such down, try use the rebuild command of iPhoto Library Manager. Be sure to read the help on that app FIRST.

Do other updates show up there (realizing that Lion is not getting all the updates anymore as it is no longer being supported).

I have repeated devices in iPhoto; it seems that every time I plug my phone or iPad to my computer it makes a entry in devices, how do I stop this?

I have repeated devices in iPhoto; it seems that every time I plug my phone or iPad to my computer it makes a entry in devices (if iPhoto is on or not), how do I stop this? Here is a current grab from my iPhoto screen. If I click on one of the old entries a bunch of blank squares appear for the images. The last device in the list for each phone works..
Cheers

Try trash the following file
com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501
from HD/Library/ Caches
and restart your mac.

How do I stop iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?

How do I stop Iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?

Some possibilities:
Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.

By doing stuff.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

ITunes 7.0.1 hangs every time I start it

Ever since I upgraded iTunes from 6 to 7.0.1 it hangs every time I start it while it is "Determining Gapless Playback Information". It always hangs on the 19th song and I have to force quit iTunes just to be able to use my computer again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have managed to solve the problem. It seems that iTunes 7.0.1 is unable to play one album in my entire collection and it hangs if I try to have any songs from that album in my iTunes library. I managed to get iTunes working again by reimporting my iTunes library and then removing the offending album before it could get up to doing the gapless playback mojo on those tracks.
To reinstall the iTunes library
1- go to ~/Music/iTunes/
2- move iTunes Music Library.xml file to your desktop.
3- trash the iTunes Library file.
4- start up iTunes and go to ->File->Import and import the iTunes Music Library.xml file from your desktop.
Bare in mind if you have a big library that it will probably take a while to import your entire file list. Try removing the offending song from your iTunes library and see if it works.
Strangely, the offending mp3 files play fine if opened in Quicktime. It would seem that something to do with the files encoding is crashing iTunes gapless playback process.

When ever I browse a news or cricbuzz app on my iphone5 it automatically brings up the jelly splash on the AppStore within 5 to 10 sec every time. Please could some one suggest of this is a virus or a bug. It is annoying.

This is not due to malware. There is no known malware capable of infecting any iOS device, unless that device has been jailbroken.
I have seen one other report this morning of a similar issue. This could simply be due to a rogue ad on those sites. However, if it's happening on a number of other sites as well, you may be having some problems with your network. As an example of the sort of thing I'm talking about, see:

Download them again in the App Store purchased tab. As long as you use the same ID that you bought the apps with, you do not have to pay for them again.
This will recover your apps, but all of your data will be gone.

Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop? By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device. So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection. This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'. My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

Hello E
Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

Well it hung again even after uninstalling and installing tempro.
I decided to unistall it completely as hoped this would stop it freezing up but it didn't.
Today it froze as per usual but when I checked the problem reporting there was not a report nor did it give me any information as to why it froze again today.
Totally at a loss as to why this is happening, and how can it be fixed if there is no reason given for it freezing???
