When I Open Iphoto it tells me that it can not open current photo library using this version of iphoto.  Any help on what I can do to fix this without loosing all my previous photos?

For some reason I tried to open Iphoto and it keeps giving me an error message that It can not open my current photo library. 
It says "You can't open your current photo library using this version of Iphoto. 
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of Iphoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of Iphoto, or do you want
to create a new photo library?"
I tried updating the software and didn't do nothing for me. 
Anyone have a solution to this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Ok, here is what I would do for that situation. I would back up all your photos on a memory stick, then create a new photo library and re-upload all the photos to the new library. If iphoto wont let you even copy your photos, you should just schedule an appointment at the genius bar. This has never happened to me, but if it did this is what I would be attempting.

  • I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

    I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

    Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
    It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
    Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
    http://refit.sourceforge.net/
    This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
    I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
    There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.

  • How do I re-download my iphoto library if I can no longer find iphoto on my desktop or in my finder without loosing all of my photos?

    How do I re-download my iphoto library if I can no longer find iphoto on my desktop or in my finder without loosing all of my photos?

    How did you install it in the first place? If it came with your Mac, and the Mac didn't come with Lion installed, then reinstall iLife from the Applications disc that was in the box. If you no longer have that disc, you'll have to order a replacement from Apple customer service. Either that, or restore the iPhoto application from your backups.
    If you got iPhoto from the App Store, you can download it again by launching the App Store application.

  • I have a new mini mac and i want to use my existing external hard drive but it needs to be reformated how do i do this without loosing all my old photos?

    i have a new mini mac and i want to use my existing external hard drive but it needs to be reformated how do i do this without loosing all my old photos?

    Formatting will erase the drive.
    You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
    For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive.

  • When I try to open Itunes it tells me that I do not have enough privileges to open this application.  How do I fix that?

    When I try to open Itunes it keeps telling me that I do not have enough privileges to open this application.  Can someone help me fix this?

    first, launch disk utility (in applications > utilities) and repair permissions for your boot disk.
    next, check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in the finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
    the important part is to apply to enclosed items !

  • When I open my iPhoto it says that my photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable, what do I do to fix this?

    It tells me that i should shut down and restart my computer, and if the problem still continues, to reopen it while keeping the option and command keys pressed. I have tried both of these but niether seem to work. The last option is to try restoring my photo library from a backup, how do i do this?

    what first aid options have you tried that did not work?
    How you restore you backup depends on how you did the backup? Are you using Time Machine? If so the instructions are here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  --  if you use some other backup software then read the manual

  • When I click on the Firefox icon, my homepage opens to about 95% and then it stops reponding. If I click on anything, I get the message that it is "not responding:. I have used Firefox for years with no problems. What can I do?

    I have used Firefox for years and it has been great until a few days ago. Now when I try to open it, the homepage from a few days ago opens, but the green bar on the lower right fills in about 95%. On the lower left it says "transferring data from l1.yimg.com but it freezes there. If I click on anything, it says (not responding) on the upper left. I have uninstalled Firefox twice and redownloaded it and the exact same thing happens. Please help me. Thank you, Dave Schumer

  • Help! Need to prove I DIDN'T delete photo(s) from iPhone, could save me from jail. How can I do this? Thanks for any help, I'm innocent and need to show this.

    This could save me from jail.  I need to prove that I DIDNT delete one or more photos from my iphone.  Is there a hidden numbering system that will show if some are missing?  Here's what happened:
    I went from point A to point B, and I took photos at both places. I was arrested for allegedly taking a detour in between A and B to take one or more photos on my iPhone, which I did NOT. The sequence of photos on my iPhone shows this (photos from A and then B with nothing in between), but my false accuser will just claim I deleted the ones in between (to have me imprisoned falsely. long story).
    I am innocent and I'm hoping my iPhone can prove that.  Any help is MUCH appreciated.
    Oh, and I haven't synced the phone since this happened, if that's an issue.

    A managed library is the default type that iPhoto creates.  Make sure you have the option selected to copy photos into iPhoto when importing:
    was hoping it would at least keep thumbnails of all my photo's.
    I use a DAM (digital asset management) program which will do exactly what you want: Media Pro 1.  It creates catalogs (libraries) of thumbnails, up to 640 x 480, that is uses to manage the photos.  You can do anything to the photos except edit, slideshows, or anything that requires the full source image when the source files are not available.  You can arrange  photos in Catalog Sets (like iPhoto albums), add keywords, etc. to them even when the sorce files are not available.  When the source files are available you can write that metadata to the source file and rename files. You can use Media Pro in demo mode for about a month I believe. 
    A catalog file for 44,000 photos (178 GB) with the thumbnails set for 320 pixels at high resolution is only 1.5 GB. The larger the thumbnail selected the larger the catalog file will be.

  • ITunes tells me there is new software updates available for my nano and when I press update it tells me that iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server b/c I'm not connected to the internet (I know that I am or I could not submit this)?

    So anyone know why the iPod software update server connot connect to my PC when I know that I'm on the internet?

    If necessary, also see:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
