iPhoto doesn't open after Upgrade to Mountain Lion

2012-08-18 Thread Matt Falvey
Hi Ronni, success and partial failure.

The Mon library worked perfectly and iPhoto opened, upgraded etc. 

Anticipating a failure on the Matt library, I didn't copy that one across until 
I had achieved the success with the Mon library.

I then did the Matt library and it failed in the same manner as I have outlined 
over the last week or so, The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with 
this version of iPhoto, so I shut it down.

I then went back to see if iPhoto would still open the new, Mon library, which 
it did. I then diced the old Mon library, From the Home Folder/Pictures and 
installed the new Mon library in the same location. I again fired up iPhoto and 
the Mon library is now working in it!

As I had mentioned previously the Matt library was a partially recovered 
library from the previous mess up about 2 months ago and i found another Matt 
full library in Aperture. Once I had iPhoto up and running I checked to see if 
I could access Aperture in iPhoto by pressing the Option key at launch. I did 
this and selected the Aperture library and once it was running in iPhoto I 
checked it for completeness, which it was.

I then determined that the cause of the problem had to be the iPhoto Matt 
Library, not just because it failed in the first import and upgrade, but it 
must have been corrupt before that, as when I bought the two new libraries 
across today, one worked instantly under the new conditions (Mon), the other 
repeated the same failure pattern (Matt). So I diced both the Matt Libraries, 
the one I copied across and the one I had in Home Folder/Pictures.  (In case I 
was rash I still have a copy of it on the ext HD backup).

I think I will leave things as they are as I still have all my photo's and once 
I learn how to access them through the Aperture-iPhoto transfer, I will have 
access to the Matt file in iPhoto which is what I wanted in the first place 2 
months ago.  The only thing I am unsure of is when to do a backup?

Thanks very much again for all your help. Rest assured after this lot I don't 
intend to do any upgrades for a very long time!

Take care.

Matt

 Hi Ronni, thanks for the reply.  
 
 I thought I would answer the two questions before I follow all the 
 instructions, even though it  probably makes sense to do what you suggest 
 anyway, but being cautious I will wait.
 
 1. Both these iPhoto Library's on your iMac (Lion - iPhoto 9.3.2) failed to 
 Upgrade in iPhoto and therefore won't open in iPhoto? - Yes.
 
 2.Both these iPhoto Library's on your MBP (Lion - iPhoto 9.3.2) have 
 upgraded in iPhoto and therefore open correctly in iPhoto? - No.
 The MPB has one entirely separate library. I only mentioned it as a point of 
 reference to show that I had followed your instructions carefully, 
 completely and successfully two days earlier and iPhoto worked. Then I did 
 the exact same two days later and iPhoto failed.  The only time anything 
 from the MBP library has been in contact with either of the iMac Libraries, 
 was an import of one event to the Matt library.
 
 I have trashed the Test iPhoto Library.
 
 The App store issue fixed itself when 10.8 installed itself, as I expected 
 it to do, that is how I was able to run the Software Updates after the 
 installation. 
 
 Do you want me to still carry on with the same instructions?
 
 Yes, if what you have mentioned previously is correct.
 You mention you have a backup of  your MBP that has these two iPhoto 
 (working) Library's on it.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

 What I suggest you do is:

 B) Quit iPhoto.app if it is open
 
 1.  Copy the two iPhoto Library's from the SuperDuper backup of the MBP to 
 your Main Hard Drive on iMac to (a different folder than the current iPhoto 
 Library's). (i.e  don't place them in your Home Folder  Pictures where 
 you currently have your iPhoto Library's) 
 
 2. Do a File  Get Info on both these Library's and check you have Open with 
 iPhoto.app
 and sharing  Permissions: matt (Me) has 'Read  Write' access
 
 3. Open each Library with iPhoto.app
 
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting 
 Window Menu select 'Choose Library'
Make sure you choose one of the Library's you have just copied to your 
 Hard Drive... To be sure you select the correct Library, the location of the 
 Library you select will show under the Window Menu
 
 3. It will open and update the Library (and 'hopefully' open correctly)
 
 If it works, drag the damaged Library's to the Trash and put each of the 
 'new' Library's in their place (Home Folder  Pictures)
 
 4. Check that both of the 'new' Library's open correctly and everything is 
 there.
 
 5. If so you can Empty the trash.

 costly.

All the Library's; Aperture  iPhoto since upgrading have the 'Flower icons'.  
The iPhoto.app icon is still the 'Ocean View  Palm tree'
I don't have Aperture installed but I image it's Application icon has not 
changed either.

 
 I noticed on the link that is says that I can open iPhoto libraries in

Something must have been amiss with the iMac's system prior to doing the

iPhoto doesn't open after Upgrade to Mountain Lion

Hi Adrian, thanks for the reply. I did have a look into the Package Content and 
the iPhoto Library still appears to be intact. I am not sure if I would be able 
to open a new library if I created one as yesterday when I created/or tried to 
create a rebuild library iPhoto still would not open. 

So following Ronni's post today, as I don't have any other user accounts, I 
will wait until she get back to me. (I will be in PMH all day Wed  Thurs).

Once again thanks for your help Adrain, hope the family tree is going well.

 Hi Matt,
 
 Have you had a look inside to see if the pictures are in tact.
 
 Right click the iPhoto Library  Show Package Content.  There should be a 
 folder called Originals or in Aperture its called Masters the photos 
 should be in there.  From there you should be able to drag/copy the folder 
 out and import them into a new Library.  I expect that you would just get the 
 pictures without any captions etc. that may have been applied to them.

iPhoto doesn't open after Upgrade to Mountain Lion

2012-08-14 Thread Matt Falvey
Hi Ronni, No I realise you are busy and have no problems waiting, I will be 
busy, as I referred in my post to Adrian, down at PMH with my daughter for the 
next 2 days so I wont be doing anything on the computer anyway, so there is no 
rush.

Now, I did not set up Aperture and iPhoto. It is just that after losing 
virtually all of the photo's I had in iPhoto Library Matt, when I did the 
upgrade about 2 months or so ago, (that Matt library is now 7.34GB and was 
37.85GB - It was good fortune that a few days later I found I had a copy of it 
sitting in Aperture, otherwise 30GB of photo's would have been lost), I read 
that if I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8 then the Matt photo's that I now have in 
Aperture could be accessed in iPhoto.

I did not merge any libraries or interfere with any App's. I had had an on 
ongoing problem trying to get access to the App store for a couple of years on 
my iMac, this is where this installation is occurring, so I had to redownload 
10.8 on my MBP, stick it on a USB stick and run the software update from it to 
the iMac. I then Repaired Permissions and Ran Software Update.

As the whole update was about Aperture and iPhoto, I started on them in 
alphabetical order. I opened Aperture and ran its library upgrade and 
everything worked out fine, without a hitch.

I then went to do the same to iPhoto and have posted the results.

I did not merge the Aperture Library with either of the two iPhoto Libraries 
Matt  Mon, there is also a Test iPhoto Library sitting there which is dated 1 
Nov 2010 which doesn't have any photo's in it.

I did not choose to merge them, I don't want to merge them. 

I don't particularly care about the Matt library as I have mentioned that is 
the one that was partially recovered from the debacle last time and I have the 
entire contents of that library in Aperture. If it doesn't ruin things, I could 
probably chuck it, if told how to.   The Mon library on the other hand is 
essential as that is only stored in iPhoto and on the Backup.

I looked at the link you supplied and it is a little misleading. It show images 
of the iPhoto and Aperture Libraries Icons, Pre upgrade: Ocean view and Palm 
tree sunset (iPhoto)  Snow covered Volcano (Aperture)   Then the same iPhoto 
and Aperture Libraries Icons, Post upgrade: both a large Pink Flower.

When I look at any icon that I have of an Aperture or iPhoto library in finder 
it has a large Pink Flower, this includes the Matt  Mon libraries that wont 
upgrade, the Test iPhoto Library which has never been opened since Nov 2010 and 
all the Aperture and iPhoto libraries on my Backup HD which were backed up 
before I downloaded the 10.8 system upgrade and had only been connected to 
check out the icons? So in effect Libraries as old as 2010 are being assigned 
Post upgrade Icons and that could be very misleading and costly.

I noticed on the link that is says that I can open iPhoto libraries in 
Aperture, but as Aperture is working and iPhoto is not I am loath to try this, 
as a bird in the hand.

I hope that covers everything. I am amazed at the difference in the

days later and it is as if I have  installed two different systems.

 Hi Matt,
 
 I haven't forgotten about you.  I'm a bit under the pump at the moment work 
 wise (no time to sleep or eat...  (Daniel Kerr Syndrome)! 
 I need to find time to go through all your emails as to what I have already 
 suggested, and give your problem more thought before I can give anymore 
 suggestions :-(
 
 One thing I'm not clear on is how you setup Aperture  iPhoto to share 
 Library's. Did you Merge the Library's or what?
 They are two entirely separate Libraries.
 Either app can open either Library.
 You can choose to merge them, but unless you explicitly choose to do so, they 
 remain separate.

Thanks Matt for the extra info, I'll get back to you when possible.

I hope all goes well at PMH.

 Hi Ronni, No I realise you are busy and have no problems waiting, I will be 
 busy, as I referred in my post to Adrian, down at PMH with my daughter for 
 the next 2 days so I wont be doing anything on the computer anyway, so there 
 is no rush.
 
 Now, I did not set up Aperture and iPhoto. It is just that after losing 
 virtually all of the photo's I had in iPhoto Library Matt, when I did the 
 upgrade about 2 months or so ago, (that Matt library is now 7.34GB and was 
 37.85GB - It was good fortune that a few days later I found I had a copy of 
 it sitting in Aperture, otherwise 30GB of photo's would have been lost), I 
 read that if I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8 then the Matt photo's that I now 
 have in Aperture could be accessed in iPhoto.
 
 I did not merge any libraries or interfere with any App's. I had had an on 
 ongoing problem trying to get access to the App store for a couple of years 
 on my iMac, this is where this installation is occurring, so I had to 
 redownload 10.8 on my MBP, stick it on a USB stick and run the software 
 update from it to the iMac. I then Repaired Permissions and Ran Software 
 Update.
 
 As the whole update was about Aperture and iPhoto, I started on them in 
 alphabetical order. I opened Aperture and ran its library upgrade and 
 everything worked out fine, without a hitch.
 
 I then went to do the same to iPhoto and have posted the results.
 
 I did not merge the Aperture Library with either of the two iPhoto Libraries 
 Matt  Mon, there is also a Test iPhoto Library sitting there which is dated 
 1 Nov 2010 which doesn't have any photo's in it.
 
 I did not choose to merge them, I don't want to merge them. 
 
 I don't particularly care about the Matt library as I have mentioned that is 
 the one that was partially recovered from the debacle last time and I have 
 the entire contents of that library in Aperture. If it doesn't ruin things, I 
 could probably chuck it, if told how to.   The Mon library on the other hand 
 is essential as that is only stored in iPhoto and on the Backup.
 
 I looked at the link you supplied and it is a little misleading. It show 
 images of the iPhoto and Aperture Libraries Icons, Pre upgrade: Ocean view 
 and Palm tree sunset (iPhoto)  Snow covered Volcano (Aperture)   Then the 
 same iPhoto and Aperture Libraries Icons, Post upgrade: both a large Pink 
 Flower.
 
 When I look at any icon that I have of an Aperture or iPhoto library in 
 finder it has a large Pink Flower, this includes the Matt  Mon libraries 
 that wont upgrade, the Test iPhoto Library which has never been opened since 
 Nov 2010 and all the Aperture and iPhoto libraries on my Backup HD which were 
 backed up before I downloaded the 10.8 system upgrade and had only been 
 connected to check out the icons? So in effect Libraries as old as 2010 are 
 being assigned Post upgrade Icons and that could be very misleading and 
 costly.
 
 I noticed on the link that is says that I can open iPhoto libraries in 
 Aperture, but as Aperture is working and iPhoto is not I am loath to try 
 this, as a bird in the hand.
 
 I hope that covers everything. I am amazed at the difference in the 
 installation between the two computers. I did the MBP first and the iMac two 
 days later and it is as if I have  installed two different systems. 
 
 Thanks for your ongoing help.
 
 Matt

iPhoto doesn't open after Upgrade to Mountain Lion

2012-08-13 Thread Matt Falvey
Hi Ronni, I tried iPhoto Library Manager on iPhoto Library Matt. I ran it and 
got the following message from iPhoto Library Manager:

Error - Apple event timed out ('core'/'getd' (returnID 1) 
{  = object specifier: {objectClass = 'ikwd';
keyForm = 'indx'; keyData = 'abso'(36206C6C6136);
container = (null(}; rtyp = 'obj '})

With the option button - OK

I pressed OK and  nothing really happened.  I did note that in iPhoto Library 
Manager, a new iPhoto Library had been created called, Rebuilt Library.

I highlighted the button adjacent to it and it said: An iPhoto library 
database has not yet been created in this library folder. Opening this library 
in iPhoto will cause the library database to be created  Info for Rebuilt 
Library - Location /Users/matt/Pictures/Rebuilt Library

I ran iPhoto and a Window What photo library do you want iPhoto to use 
opened. Rebuild library was not there. A box on the bottom LHS said Other 
Library, I clicked it, it took me to the Pictures folder list and in it I found 
a file called Rebuilt Library, Inside it was com.apple.iPhoto.plist. I could 
only click on the file Rebuilt Library and the options were Open or Cancel, I 
pressed Open and nothing happened, no sounds no change of colour.  

I presume this failure is because of the error happening above, anyway I left 
it in that situation all day in case it was running and only cancelled it just 
now. I did check on Spotlight and there was only one result for Rebuilt Library 
and it was the one in Pictures.

I am sorry that I have created this problem for you and I feel terrible 
interrupting your normal work, particularly as this seems very drawn out .

 Ok Matt,
 
 Something is seriously wrong with the Library then, it is possibly in the 
 loop of upgrading like it did in Snow Leopard and I got you to delete files 
 so the upgrade could complete.
 
 A last resort before deleting any files.
 Download iPhoto Library Manager  http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
 and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in 
 the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, 
 books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and 
 keywords back.
 
 Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one 
 untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results 
 you can simply return to your old one.
 
 I have to sign off from WAMUG support as I must get my Clients work finished 
  prepare for tomorrow.

 Hi Matt,
 
 Have you tried the last option I gave you if the other options didn't fix 
 your iPhoto Library?
 
 1. Hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. 
 It will show you a Window with 'Photo Library First Aid'
 
 2. Choose 'Rebuild Database'
 
 See if that can complete and you can then Upgrade the iPhoto Library.

Hi Matt,

Have you had a look inside to see if the pictures are in tact.

Right click the iPhoto Library  Show Package Content.  There should be a 
folder called Originals or in Aperture its called Masters the photos should 
be in there.  From there you should be able to drag/copy the folder out and 
import them into a new Library.  I expect that you would just get the pictures 
without any captions etc. that may have been applied to them.

The Grey Spinning Wheel was spinning until about 11pm last night, when I 
decided to go to bed and closed the system down. It had been running for over 
13 hours and was just the same wheel as that that had been spinning in the back 
ground with the two messages, Before I pressed the Command and Option Keys, so 
I don't think, hope, it was signifying that any Repair was in process.  Anyway 
I had no choice, my wife was on earlies and was sleeping in the spare room and 
didn't want the computer on all night, so I had no choice.

Yes, iPhoto worked fine in SL, after you fixed it. The bulk of the photo's were 
missing but I had them covered I discovered later, T.G., in Aperture.  That was 
the main reason for going to the next step to ML to be able to share the 
photo's between Aperture and iPhoto, which I couldn't do in SL. So basically I 
was trying to get my SL iPhoto library back by stealth.

We have three other iMac's one is running: 10.6.8 and iPhoto 9.2.3, could it be 
used to confirm the backup Libraries on the SuperDuper backup?

 Hi Matt,
 
 Sounds like your iPhoto Library Database is damaged.
 Try to Repair Database  Rebuild Database.
 
 1. Hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. 
 It will take some time to show you a Window with 'Photo Library First Aid'
 
 2. Select: Repair Permissions
Repair Database
   Rebuild Database
 
 Let it complete the repairs.

Hi Matt,

Have you tried the last option I gave you if the other options didn't fix your 
iPhoto Library?

1. Hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. 
It will show you a Window with 'Photo Library First Aid'

2. Choose 'Rebuild Database'

See if that can complete and you can then Upgrade the iPhoto Library.

Cheers,
Ronni

 That was the main reason for going to the next step to ML to be able to share

Once I press Rebuild, it flashed into the your library needs to be Upgraded, I

Re: iPhoto doesn't open after Upgrade to Mountain Lion

2012-08-12 Thread Ronda Brown
Ok Matt,

Something is seriously wrong with the Library then, it is possibly in the loop 
of upgrading like it did in Snow Leopard and I got you to delete files so the 
upgrade could complete.

A last resort before deleting any files.
Download iPhoto Library Manager  http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in 
the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, 
books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and 
keywords back.
 
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one 
untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you 
can simply return to your old one.

I have to sign off from WAMUG support as I must get my Clients work finished  
prepare for tomorrow.

Cheers,
Ronni

 Hi Ronni, I followed your instruction's and the Window showed up instantly.  
 In 2. you stated select the items, they could not be selected together, I 
 could only select each one individually.  It looked on you post like select 
 all three, so I tried holding the Command key and selecting them, shift etc. 
 but could not get the three selected together.
 
 Anyway I then decided that it must be in descending order and started with 
 Repair Permission and a soon as I did that the two messages came back up 
 again in the same sequence as before and gave me the only option to quit.

 Hi Matt,
 
 Sounds like your iPhoto Library Database is damaged.
 Try to Repair Database  Rebuild Database.
 
 1. Hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. 
 It will take some time to show you a Window with 'Photo Library First Aid'
 
 2. Select: Repair Permissions
 Repair Database
Rebuild Database
 
 Let it complete the repairs.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

iPhoto doesn't open after Upgrade to Mountain Lion

2012-08-09 Thread Matt Falvey
Hi, I have just upgraded my iMac from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion following 
strictly Ronnie's Installing Lion OS X 10.8 instructions. Everything seemed to 
work fine, apart from iPhoto which when opened gave the notice that it needed 
to check for updates which it did briefly, then the message window: The photo 
library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto, appeared. I 
clicked - Upgrade.

The the window: iPhoto is unable to open this library appeared with the 
message:- you have opened this photo library with a newer version of iPhoto. 
Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.  One option - Quit. 

As per the guidelines I had run the software update and the version of iPhoto I 
have is 9.3.2. (I think 9.3.2 is the latest version of iPhoto, so I don't know 
how to use any later version).

I ran Aperture and that opened and ran upgraded and updated okay. I  did an 
upgrade to 10.8 on my MBP and that worked fine and the iPhoto library on that 
worked without any problems.

As I had issues with iPhoto before and didn't what to look a complete DH, I 
thought I might see if it was possible to fix the problem so I tried a Full 
Recovery as that seemed to work for others who had the same problem, 
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4148170?start=0tstart=0 (derrick9990) and 
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

I then did the repair permissions, Software update (all up to date), and tried 
again, but was presented with the same messages. 

Oh, I have a complete, Super Duper bootable backup of the HD, this time around.

Any ideas as to how to repair it, would be gratefully received.

Matt.
