Hi
Looking to open an old version of Iphoto 4.0.3 off of a hard drive. I know how to open alternative libraries, but this one appears with a circle and line across it. Telling me i cannot access it. Can you help?
Thank you in advance, Julie
Are you trying to open an old application? Or an old library? what version of iPhoto do you have installed? What version of the OS?
A guess as to the answer is to depress and hold the option key while launching iPhoto from the dock and use the select library window to select the library you want to open - Depending on the unknown version of iPhoto that you have this will open and convert the library - you also may need to first run the iPhoto library upgraded on the old library
Please give details

I have Iphoto 11 on my macbook pro and want to open a iphoto 4.0.3 from a hard drive. When i use the option key to select the libraries this one doesn't even come up. When i look it up on the hard drive it appears with the circle and line across it.
You are trying to open the iPhoto 4.0.3 application, and not to open an iPhoto library. If you look below the crossed out icon, it says "Application" and not library. An iPhoto library should be showing as folder, or with a fan-of-picures icon.
thanks, but if you look at the image i posted, you will see that i also tried to open an alternative iphoto library using the option key and IT DOESN"T SHOW UP. Can you see the smaller window in the image, that is where the alternative libraries usually come up. I use this function for other libraries but i cannot open the 4.0.3 one at all. How do i do an upgrade on the old library?
See the option there for "Other Library"? Try use that to navigate to the library you're trying to update.
