Why did Mavericks block my access to iPhoto?

It warned me on install that Photoshop Elements wouldn't work, but I don't recall seeing it tell me that iphoto would be torpedoed too. Is there an easy fix? I assume all the photos on my drive are still there, just inaccessible right now.

Did you run Software Update and see if there is an updated version? If you do have iLife '11, you should be able to update it to a version that works with Mavericks.
If it is actually an older version of iPhoto, then you'll have to purchase the current version.

Finding Duplicates - why did they block entry to the iphoto folder?

Why is there no duplicate search like there is in itunes? Why did they block the iphoto folder so I can't use other programs to find dupes? Why do I have to have another set of pictures every time I update to the next ilife?
I just want to have a quick search and delete to get rid of dupe files in iphoto without going through one at a time. Anyone have any ideas in '08?

Why is there no duplicate search like there is in itunes?
Because there are many reasons why users might want duplicates. But if you have a duplicate issue try using Duplicate Annihilator.
Why do I have to have another set of pictures every time I update to the next ilife?
Well, if you're getting a new set of pictures every time you update, I think you're doing it wrong. Want to explain how you do it?

Here's the current version of iPhoto. Try installing that, and see if things work better.

Why did Mavericks slow down my MBP?

Did some digging in Discussions and found that a slow-down problem is common after installing Mavericks.
EtreCheck was recommended as a diagnostic first step. I have a report but I am not confident to act on any items without advice. Here it is - help appreciated.

Anything in Startup Items could be a problem. Apple declared Startup Items to be obsolete in 2006 so this is software that hasn't been updated since before then or they are following the doing the don't-update-until-it-breaks plan.
I suggest uninstalling these problems to see if that fixes things. Always use the vendor-provided uninstaller or uninstallation instructions. Never try to do it manually. That could only make things worse. You may need to download a new installer that may come with an uninstaller. Unfortunately, installers, and especially uninstallers, are a weak point of OS X compared to Windows.

Remove these too. iStat seems to have an invalid plist file. KeyAccess has a support link that may eventually lead you to an uninstaller.

Notice a trend? This is why I say to use vendor-provided uninstallers.

Some of the same software is here. At least with Login Items, you can remove items very easily and put them back later if they prove innocent.

How do I update iPhoto after installing Mavericks, I cannot access my iPhoto library?

I updated my OS to Mavericks from OS Lion and now my iPhoto is out of date and will not open so I can access my photos. I tried to update it from the apps store and it told me my Apple ID was not the one that had been registered or created when the Mac was bought.
Please help, I need my photos!
Jackie

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

Why did I lose my link between iphoto and filemaker db

Newbie to forums here. Sorry, I posted this earlier in the wrong place as a reply instead of a new question.
I have a Filemaker 6.0 catalog database in which I made a container for photos. I stored the reference rather than the photo so the file wouldn't be so huge. Since I updated to iphoto 08, my photos no longer show up in the FM database. Do I have to go back and export them all to the desktop and store them in the database anyway or is there a way to recover the reference? Thanks

I use FileMaker quite a bit also. You can reference to the files in iPhoto, but it would probably be easier for you to just export the files and put them back where they were. FileMaker should find them the next time you open the file. I don't think I would add them to the file directly. I did that on some of my files and they seemed slower.
I have several databases that use photos differently, but I am trying to get them all into iPhoto. The nice thing about that is they are all organized and available to other apps through the media browser and are still available through the open dialog.

When I upgraded to Mavericks I lost access to iPhoto.

When I attempt to open iPhoto after installing Mavericks I get the error message: "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X. You have version 9.3.2." My iMac is running 10.9 and was running iLife '11 before this happened.
So I go to the Apps store to upgrade iPhoto and get the error message: "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
HOW do I fix this? Or is it possible to uninstall Mavericks?
Please help! This is a school computer and I really need to use iPhoto to do some Christmas projects with my students!

carolyn,
This looks like an owernership issue. Have you talked to the school administrator about it?

Why did Mavericks disconnet my wi-fi connection?

I downloaded the free Mavericks upgrade and installed with no problem. However, for some reason my Linksys wi-fi network connection was disconnected and now I cannot reconnect unless I use the guest connection. I've tried entering the password for the main connection for my iMac but it won't go.
Any help?
Thanks.

I can establish an unsecure connection but nothing else. I tried uninstalling my Cisco Linksys router and resetting and reinstalling with the Cisco Setup Install CD, but I just keep getting a message that the router only supports certain OS and no other dialog windows. If this keeps up maybe I should just get a new wi-fi router and start from scratch? My current one is about two years old.

Why did Apple remove flag icon from iPhoto '11?

I just updated to iPhoto '11 and there are a few interesting changes. One is that Apple removed the "flag" icon from the app. I wish they hadn't done that because I use that a lot and don't want to have to go to the dropdown menu to flag a photo. Does anyone know if you can put the flag icon back? I don't see anyway to customize the iPhoto tools. Thanks.

You are very welcome. I'm happy you saw my post, and thanks for posting back and crediting me with a This helped me. You deserve the real credit because your post gave me the drive to search for a better solution than the command-period shortcut even though the removal of the flag icon in iPhoto '11 has bugged me ever since I first starting using it. I found an article where the author told about the gray flag icon on the top left corner of photos in the thumbnail view, but also criticized that it isn't in the view you really use to review pics. The author then went into the command-period shortcut option. What the author didn't mention and I brought to the solution was maximizing the zoom when in the thumbnail view. I gave myself a pat on the back for that one! lol
Have a great weekend, PainterLady!

Why did Mozilla block Personas after upgrading to 3.6.9 on one computer but none of the others? A warning box came up stating that Personas was causing instability or security problems and was being blocked and would be disabled when Firefox restarted.

I am not typing this on the computer on which I experienced the problem. Consequently, the list of plug-ins noted under the list of additional system details here is incorrect. I am running Firefox 3.6.9 on all three of my computers. The netbook on which this occurred is running Windows 7 Starter. Both other computers are running Windows 7 Home Premium.

It is not Personas that are being blocked, it is version 1.6 of the Personas Plus add-on that has been blocked as it was casuing many problems. You can still use Personas without that add-on. If you want the add-on, you can install version 1.6.1 which has fixed the bug in 1.6, available from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10900/

Why did Mavericks upgrade not remove iWork 09 when App Store was used to upgrade?

OS X v10.9.1... iMac 09
I have both versions of Pages, Keynote, & .Numbers. Perhaps this is a good thing!
I was under the impression that OS X would tacitly remove the older version.
What? Thanks....

The newer version cannot open pre-iWork 09 files. The older version is kept in case you have older files that have to be converted to the '09 format so that they can be imported into the current apps.

Why did my upgrade to Maverick result in my not being able to access my Documents in the previous format? Why did I not have the option to change my 'filing' system to use the new 'Tags'? Had reinstall 10.8.5 to access my Documents

Why did Maverick not enable me to access my Documents in the previous format (Grid) and when using the alternative I could not 'clik' to open them. The same applied when I tried to open documents from within my back up disc (LaCie). I had to reinstall 10.8.5 and back up from my LaCie (thankfully) to gain access to all my critical Documents? To deal with this I spent 3 and hlafg hours on telephone to Apple Support ( very helpful - but unable to resolve issues - then 3 hours in Apple Store (again very helpful but only able to assist by clearinng Maverick from my HD and reinstalling 10.8.5. Fortunately LaCie came to the resuce and I was able to back up Mac HD with all my documents but lost about one week of work....!!
Why did I not have the option when upgrading to Maverick to select the new 'Tag" system which I did not want?

10.8.5 is the lates ML edition. I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup. If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup. You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files. The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files. That should fix the permissions issue. I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

Why did i have to buy iPhoto when i realised my daughters macbook had it preinstalled

why did i have to pay for iphoto when my daughters identical macbook came with it pre-installed??

Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here.
There are only users here who have no idea the answer to your question whith so little information. What year did you buy your Mac and your daughter's Mac. What MacBook model's are they both? From whom did you buy them, directly from Apple or a 3rd party vender? The more details the better to offer ideas.

Why did Apple discontinue iPhoto for iOS?

Why did Apple discontinue iPhoto for iOS?
This app offered great features such as the ability to format your pictures and journal and, add comments and context.
It's disappointing to be forced to migrate away especially when this is a paid app ($4.99). Many other companies may stop supporting paid apps, but at least you can still use the apps.

Apple did not say why, so we can only speculate.
But have a look at what has changed in iOS 8. http://www.apple.com/ios/developer/
The basic frameworks, that support image editing apps and any graphics apps have been completely replaced by newer frameworks, for example PhotoKit. Also, the Photos.app and its library are very different, with the Camera Roll being replaced by the "Recent Activity" album.
iPhoto used "Photos" to access all photos on the device and did not them separately. The code would have needed to be completely rewritten. Probably, Apple did not want to develop iPhoto a second time, in addition to the new "Photos", but is relying on the third party developers to supplement Photos with extensions:
PhotoKit
Developers can enable their photo apps to edit photos directly in the Camera Roll without having to import them first.
Photo Editing
Developers can embed their filters and editing tools directly into the Photos app. So you could apply third‑party effects to images without leaving the app where you view your photos.

Why did I receive a Viber access code when I never signed up for Viber?

why did I receive a Viber access code on my brand new iPhone 4S when I never signed up for Viber? In fact, when I received the sms, I used the search function on my iPhone to see where it could be hidden, and the only results where the two consecutive texts I received giving me identical access codes.

Oops, I just went into the message and there is no "i" where to block the number that sent me the access code. What do I do now? (sorry, but I am a true techno-idiot). Never mind, just found it and blocked it. Thanks for all your help, Belly114. Have a great long weekend, wherever you are.
