Now, there's no opening iPhoto.  The crash message follows.  Must I re-install iLife 2008 and start the updating process or is there an easy work-around? I deleted the plist in the prefs; of course, that made no difference (didn't think it would, really).

It looks like a reinstallation of iPhoto is indicated.  To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.  If iPhoto 9 came with your computer or you bought the iLife 11 disk then use this link to download the 4 updaters and apply: iPhoto 9 Updaters

  • Updated iTunes to the newest version and now iTunes won't open any more.

    Yesterday, iTunes was working properly.  Ran spy sweeper and PC has no viruses.  Opened iTunes today and it asked if I wanted to update to the newest version.  I did.  Newest version never installed properly.  Said a file was missing 2/3 through with installation. Tried to uninstall and reinstall completely and its telling this same file is missing.  Any ideas?  Using Windows 7.  Trying to connect with my iPhone 5.

    The error message I am receiving is:
    iTunes.exe - System error.
    The programs can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.
    Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
    (Which I have done.)
    Next error message is:
    iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (windows error 126)

  • I recently downloaded the newest iTunes update, but iTunes won't open... And every time I try to open iTunes, A box asks if I want to allow the program to make changes to my computer. I've clicked yes many times and it always comes up, any ideas?

    Also I've tried restarting my computer many times and it still says the same thing...

    Anyone know how I can fix this?

  • Uninstalled new version, horrible. Installed the older version and now it won't open! HELP WANT MY MUSIC!

    I installed the new version thinking it would be the same, It was horrible! uninstalled it... Installed the older version and now it won't open and when I try it says it can't because the library can't open because it was used on a newer version. Come on! I just want my music! How do I open this and get my music back.
    I put my Ipod in and it still says the same thing, what's going on? Please help me!

    I don't know whom to thank first-- b noir for telling me about the Lorraine fix or Lorraine for figuring out the fix. THE LORRAINE FIX WORKED FOR ME!!! (I feel a little like I am advertising "Hooked on Phonics" with that last line!)
    Thank you doesn't say it strongly enough, but THANK YOU b noir and Lorraine for your help. I was to the boiling point last night and starting to get there tonight. Now I am resting easy and thankful that there is a community of computer users out there who care enough to troubleshoot problems together and work together to figure out a solution--and then to take the time to post and share information.
    I would STRONGLY suggest that anyone who is having the iTunes issues where iTunes just plain won't open at all after downloading the newest version and has a pc with Norton Internet Security 2005 try the "Lorraine Method."
    I am so happy I think I might sing. Or not--I will let my songs on iTunes do the singing for me now that I can again!!!!!!!
    And to those still looking for answers--be patient--I now know how incredibly frustrating this can be and I hope that you all find your solutions very very soon!!

  • Did the requested upgrade and now iTunes won't open for anything

    I upgraded to the newest version and now iTunes wont open, no error message, nothing. It looks as if it's going to launch when I click on it but nothing happens. This Happened last time I upgraded but it worked itself out after a few mins but this has been all day... nothing is working.
    I tried to plug my iPod in and not even that will launch iTunes.
    In a similar topic it was asked if QuickTime would launch, my QuickTime will open but it has been loading for 2hrs now.... WHATS GOING ON?!!???
    Dell dimension desktop   Windows XP  

    Me too... The other post relating to this was with a PC but the same is happening for macs too by the look of it. Has anyone got an idea of how to sort this out? I don't suppose it's possible to find an earlier version of iTunes to download? I'm going to have a search now cos I need iTunes to be working!

  • Itunes updated and now it won't work.  I unstalled it and reinstalled the older version and it still won't open. Says the itunes library won't work with the older program. Help

    Itunes updated and now it won't work.  I unstalled it and reinstalled the older version and reinstalled a older version and it still won't open.  Says the itunes
    library won't work with the older program.  Please help

    It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
    Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • I am unable to load the newest itunes update to my 10.5.8 osx. The update requires 10.6 so this makes me unable to sync my updated phone and ipad with my imac. Solutions?

    I am looking for suggestions and possibly a solution to the following problem: The new itunes update requires at least a 10.6 os.x. My imac is a 10.5.8. I am unable to sync my iphone or ipad, which both have the update, with my imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD and run the 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • Have downloaded the newest version of garageband but can't open it: getting the following message:

    I have  Macbook Air that had garageband pre-installed. I am trying to upgrade to the latest version. I get the following message when i try to execute the downloaded file:
    The version of GarageBand installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available.
    And I did it through the mac apps store....so i don't get it!

    There's an enigmatic post.
    If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 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.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing.

  • Just reinstalled iPhoto and now it won't open the photos I saved on CDs

    I recently had a major hard drive crash and had to get a new hard drive. I was so glad that I had all my photos backed up on CDs. But when I reinstalled the software, I can't get iPhoto to open the CDs. I get a message that says the photo libraries were made using a newer version of IPhoto. The only version I have is the version that came with the computer which was iLife 05. I have not yet bought iLife 06 due to finances. The only thing I can think of is that there were updates to the 05 version that I had downloaded and now the original version will not open my files. I tried clicking on update the software, but all I got was an ad for 06. Is there any way to get the updates for 05 so I can get back to where I was before the hard drive gave out?
    Thanks,
    Carole

    That's a bummer.
    Here are the instructions for creating a new library. It will get you your photos back for now. Save the CDs in case a solution comes up.
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!

  • I have an ipad2 I bought scrabble  a day ago played all my Facebook friends for 1 day and now it won't open, I have the app but when I click on face book friends....nothing!!!

    I bought an ipad2 bought scrabble app worked for 1day and now app won't work????

    Have you tried closing the app completely and seeing whether it works properly when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the scrabble apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • The latest OS update now causes my external keyboard to crash the system?

    I use my late 2008 MacBook Pro 15" as a desktop.  I have it on a stand and use a Magic Trackpad and was using an iHome external keyboard with a built in iPod dock.  I downloaded the latest software update for 10.6.8 this morning and when i restarted my computer a bunch of code displayed on the screen and a window saying "You have to restart your computer" in 4 different languages appeared.  I restarted the computer 3 times and the same thing occured.  It wasn't until a disconnected all the peripherals and restarted that the OS would reload and then realized that it was the iHome keyboard that was causing the OS to crash.  
    Any suggestions?

    This has been reported before. The driver for that device is incompatible with 10.6.8. Contact the vendor for an update.

  • Upgraded and now itunes won't open..get the error something about audio

    that's typically caused by an issue with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
