Why can't I open iPhoto 11 in my mac with 10.8.6?

When I open iPhoto a window pops up and said 'there's a problem with the version'. Why?

Why? Because - as it tells you - there's a problem. What's the exact error message? What version of iPhoto?

    why can't i open iPhoto classic

    Please explain - there is no "iPhoto Classic" that I know of
    And remember that no one here knows anything except what you tell us so question like "something does not work - what do I do" do not get good answers - details are critical

  • Why can't I open links in a new tab with a right click anymore? And why has the toolbar removed the refresh button?

    Several basic functions seem to be have vanished from Firefox. I can no longer open links in new tabs with a right click, and the refresh browser button (and back/forward navigation buttons, etc) do not appear in with consistency anymore. How do I get these basic navigational tools back? (most recent updates are installed)

    * Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
    * If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • Why can I not open a PowerPoint on my Mac. What do I need to do?

    How do I open a PowerPoint on my Mac Air.  What do I need to do? Is there a mac version of a powerpoint?

    You can purchase MS Office '11 from the Mac App Store, an Apple retail store, the Apple on-line store, or other software outlets.  You can also try the MS website and see if they are offering on-line downloads at this time.

  • Why can't I open IPhoto library stored on Time Capsule?

    Our old iMac G5 was struggling with the 27k of photos on it and couldn't accept a software update, so I have bought a 2T Time Capsule and a MacBook, in the hope that I could copy my music and photos onto the Time Capsule and use the MacBook just to access and use the data.
    I've dragged and dropped the music from the G5 to the TC and can get at that ok with the MacBook, and when I dragged the iPhoto library over it took ages, which was reassuring given the amount of data. However, when I try to look at the iPhoto library on the TC, while iPhoto on the MacBook can see all of the events, folders, numbers of images etc, when I actually want to look at a photo, all I get it a black screen with a grey triangle and an exclamation mark.
    I've done the 'show package contents' thing, and all the photos are on the TC, and I can see them in Preview.
    I've checked the TC formatting and it is MacOS Extended (case sensitive, journaled).
    Possible issues:
    - is it a problem that the TC is also set up to do backups?
    - is it a problem that the MacBook is set up with two users?
    Not sure what else the problem might even be...
    Help me please, otherwise I'll have to pay someone to come and sort it out and feel like I've totally failed...
    Thanks!

    Your iPhoto Library is very likely corrupted.
    This is an iPhoto issue, so you need to post in the iPhoto support area to let the experts over there offer some suggestions to see if the library can be rebuilt. The link to the iPhoto support area is here:
    iPhoto
    The experts over there will likely also explain to you why you should never try to use the Time Capsule to store your "working" library with iPhoto.
    The bottom line is that access to the library on the Time Capsule is very slow, and if there is any break in communications between the iPhoto application and the library....something that would easily occur using wireless.....this can corrupt the entire library.
    You may be asked to trash the current library and use your backup to rebuild things.
    In the future, you really want to place the iPhoto library on a USB drive or FireWire drive that is directly connected to your Mac. Access to the library is fast this way and this setup will work well.  Time Machine will also backup the attached hard drive to your Time Capsule so you will have backups of both the Mac and the hard drive.
    I'll let the iPhoto experts take it from here. Hopefully Terrence Devlin will answer your question, but you might be prepared for a bit of a lecture in the process.
    Good luck on trying to rescue the library.

  • Why can't I open iPhoto? Please help

    I just downloaded the new software update a month ago. When i did it had complications so I went to apple to fix the problem and they did. Last week I noticed my iPhoto icon has a circle on it with a line across it. i clicked on it and it says "you can't use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of OSX...you have iPhoto 9.2.3." What do i do? I'm scared I just lost all my photos and the employee at apple told me that i didn't lose any documents or pictures when they restarted my computer and did a software test. Help please

    Nope, It said "A newer version of this software is already installed." so I won't let me go back. Also, after exporting editing and importing back there is still no easy way to open a photo in photoshop. I have to drag them from stupid photos to my desktop and then open them from there. I have 300 photos to edit and put a watermark on. There HAS to be an easier way!

  • Why can't I open my email messages in .Mac?

  • Why can't I open folders (pictures) on my mac mini - it says I don't have access

    I can't open the Pictures or Music or any other folders that I have in Users on my hard drive

    Hey BDAqua,
    Thanks for that. Made me think. I used one of my other logins by accident. For some reason my Mac MIni will let me log in using one of two usernames. So that was an easy fix that I should have known. I appreiciate your suggestion.

  • Why can't I upload Adobe CS3 on another Mac with the same operating system 10.5.8?

    I purchased a MacBook Pro in 2008 and had it installed with Adobe CS3 at the Apple Store. I don't believe I was given any CDs or serial numbers to take home. I still have all the documentation for my other programs I installed myself, like Logic, Final Cut, etc. and those installed fine on my new Mac desktop computer, with the same operating system (10.5.8) as my MacBook. For whatever reason, I don't have the documenation for CS3, but I was able to download a serial number finder and locate the serial number for my version of CS3. But when I enter that serial number into the new computer, Adobe says the serial number is invalid. I thought standard licenses allowed for 2 computers (home/work) per serial number. This is the first computer I've tried to install CS3 on so it seems I should have no problem. Any help here? I'm on a ticking clock because my MacBook could crash any day and I need to get the programs switched over to my new computer. I appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Gerald

  • Why can't I open a lot of documents since yosemite. They are in grey

    Since I installed the last version of OS X on my Ipad, I could not open a lot of documents on my Mac. I thought this problem would be solved when I would install Yosemite on my mac but this is not the case.
    Why are so many documents in grey and why can't I open these documents on my mac with yosemite ?

    Tell your friend to go to bit.ly to create a 'short URL' for that address.
    They can send you that & you shouldn't have to worry about the SMS or any other messaging size limitations.
    NOTE: there are many other URL shortener services…

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my Address Book after importing the files from my Power Mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
