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Nope, It said "A newer version of this software is already installed."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!

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 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 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...

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. -

Can't close open windows, Please Help
I'll have a Safari window open, with multiple tabs, I can close the individual tabs, but to close the only window left, I cannot close it. Any popup windows also will not close. They will shrink to dock, but I cannot close them. Any Help?
I was facing exactly the same problem after the 10.4.11 / Safari 3.0.4 Update. It is most likely caused by an input manager you have forgotten about. In my case it was the ancient Taboo 0.3. Go to
Library > InputManagers
and check for a SIMBL folder.
Removal of said folder & restarting Safari solved the issue. Brute force of course, you can also look into
Library > Application Support > SIMBL > Plugins
and delete the "Taboo.bundle". -

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
