iPhoto stopped working!!!

Question

iPhoto stopped working!!!

I had computer crash, all it adffected was outlok, so after rebuilding the database all y applications went back to normal, except iPhoto.

I can not launch, I see the icon on the lefet, but I can not open the library. Even if I go to fiole and select the Photo Library Default, sill it would not open unless I open Apaerture Library and from there select open another library whcih is PhotoLibrary, so I am able to open it,until I quit. I also can not create a new Library. When I create and name it, it will not show.

If I create a new user... no problem.

I spoke to 1st and 2nd level Appkle support, there was not much help there.

I would appreciate if someone has an answer, thanks.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2), 27"

What exactly did you do after the crash - I am not sure, which database you rebuild and how? Did you use iPhoto's Library First Aid panel on your current database? Or did you rebuild using Aperture?

Or, did you reinstall your system after the crash and now have earlier versions of your programs installed, that need to be upgraded to the newest versions to be able to open your iPhoto library again?

Try to run software update, to update iPhoto again to the latest version.

Also, it would really help to know the versions of the programs you are using. Is your profile signature still current? MacOS X 10.7.2? What are your iPhoto versions and Aperture versions?

From the symptoms you are describing, it looks like the iPhoto version you are having installed, is older than the version of your iPhoto library. Try to run software update, to update iPhoto again to the latest version.

When I created a new user it worked fine. Apple support said that in this case the main user has an issue with iPhoto. It took me 8 hours to find a solution, I almost gave and decided to reinstall the iPhoto, which solved the problem.

Thanks, anyway, 😉
