Upgrade safely for OS 9, with the huge iPhoto 8.1.2 library?

My iPhoto ' 09 8.1.2 library has over 50,000 photos.  I have OS X 10.6.8 - Yes, I know they are old.

Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I could not upgrade iPhoto and OS earlier.

How can I move my huge iPhoto library safe when I update OS X 10.9 or newer? (I would use a program that requires OS X 10.9 or higher).

Any advice on which OS X would be safer?

Metadata will be preserved during the move?

Is it advisable to rebuild or repair the iPhoto library before installing the new OS X?

To free up space on my laptop, 2 years ago I moved my iPhoto to an external HD library; So, is no longer on laptop.  I have 2 external library on other HDs additional backups. Despite this, iPhoto sometimes hold /cursor towers and I have to quit smoking, or force them to leave.

I also have external on 2 HDs Time Machine backups.

If I move iPhoto to Photos, event groups disappear?

I am very nervous about to destroy, loss or damage of the huge photo library by updating to OS X 9 or higher.

Also, I use Word (Microsoft Office for Mac 2008) for work - this depends on OS 9 and later versions?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You are far behind (about 8 years) and there is no real good option more except to move to El captain and pictures which is a program that is new and different, with a learning curve (even if you were familiar with iPhoto 11 before the upgrade) and the probability that you will need to update most of your software increasing your learning curve

I don't know which is better - but in the future, I suggest keep you up-to-date and does lag behind - it works better

    Probably, you must specify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. Like the following:

    Hey Hey Hey Doc K whadu say?

    I solved my problem;

    the problem was owner and permission on my programs, all users, the program data and my programs (86).

    As I type this i / m re - run SFC/verify only and a big pile of sucessfully some updates installed.

    What have I done? I took possession of the special directories above from "TrustedInstaller".

    Even when owned by TrustedInstaller, it does not have permissions. Some places I found rejection specific to the owner of the network.

    -What happened? Do you have a trusted Installer get stuck Mid-install?

    I took possession of SYSTEM, and made sure the CREATOR had every right, as in the SYSTEM and

    USER, AUTHENTICATED USER. I was perhaps too broad.

    I took possession, and then all of the repressed, updates windows are presented themselves to install,.

    and I expect /VERIFYNOW SFC before as I mark this as running.

    I'm fairly certain VS2008 and VS2010 now repair and install.

    Hmmm... always to see funny error message in SFC...

    We need a tool to give an overview of a directory tree ownership and permissions.

  • Should I spend an EFS 18-55mm on a Canon EF 17-40mm f / 4L USM for landscapes? With the help of a Rebel T3i

    Only done photography for about a year. Wife bought me a Rebel T3i Kit with two Lenes. I'm really into photography outdoor. I installed myEFS 55-250 in a series of 100-400mm L I was going to buy a better lens for landscape and try to keep less than $1000. I think EF 17-40mm f / 4L USM. Better landscapes or is there a better choce range of price thanks

    I would not recommend the EF 17-40mm for your T3i. The EF 17-40mm is really designed to be used as a goal of the ultra wide angle on Full Frame cameras. One of the major is the lack of IS. (Image stabilization)

    For a camera of culture as the T3i, I recommend:

    Lens EF - S 18-55mm IS STM (very good upgrade to the 18-55 kit lens)

    Lens EF - S 18-135mm IS STM

    EF-S 15-85mm IS lens

    EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 IS lens

    EF-S 10-22mm (without IS, but Ultra-Wide) lens

  • Upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium with the Professional Windows 7 upgrade software?

    I got a deal to get the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade for $ 100, thought that I get it.  Only now I realize that I had Vista Home Premium on my laptop, and so impossible to move to Windows 7 Pro.  I went out and bought the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade today for another $ 100 to upgrade.

    Basically, can I use this software to upgrade Windows 7 Professional upgrade the copy of Windows 7 family upgrade that I just bought. If I can do:

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium< windows="" 7="" home="" premium="" upgrade="">< windows="" 7="" professional="">

    I hope I explained this correctly.  I don't want to really not get stuck with a copy of Windows 7 Pro upgrade software that I can't do anything with.  Any help would be incredibly useful.

    If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, follow the on-screen Wizard, enter the key to Windows 7 Professional on demand, click on, and then restart your computer when you are prompted. Less than 10 minutes, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional and your files and settings retained. Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com http://www.activewin.com

    Funny that the robot says "good answer!"

    In any case, after a day of fly autour, I've updated for Pro X 10.1.15 (no longer available) and when I looked at the screen, I decided to click the icon on the far right in the darker menu bar. And, Lo and behold, there was my functions missing, unchecked. I checked, and my signs Print Production and processing of Document reappeared.

    So, good answer:

    Inspector objects and Page number are tools that can be enabled or disabled.

    Select the tools Panel. Go to the icon of the small drop-down list on the far right of the gray bar dark at the top of the whole menu.

    Enable or disable the various components of the Toolbox by adding or removing a check mark before the name.

  • Can upgrade you XP to 7 with the upgrade of student in VMware?  I can't make it work...

    Hey guys,.

    I'm having a devil of a time with this... I have XP on the partition boot camp, as well as a computer virtual created from it.  I just purchased the upgrade to the Windows 7 home MS student, burned the ISO to a bootable disc, and now I'm stuck.  I have a MBP 13.3 (5.5) running Snow Leopard and VMware Fusion 3.  I tried to start my computer the DVD, only to have the installer of Windows 7 tell me that it doesn't have the correct drivers.  Well, then I start completely in Snow Leopard, open to the top of my bootcamp with merge partition and I can't seem to start from the DVD here, or in the virtual machine either.  So I'm stuck, what am I doing wrong / is there a way and it works?

    Thank you!

    Win 7 coming to be superimposed on a XP installation isn't a good idea.  You are better to destroy your Boot Camp partition and install a clean copy of 7, Ditto for a new virtual machine in Fusion.   Keep in mind Apple has not released the Boot Camp for Win 7 drivers yet, but the plan at the end of the year.

    For the installation of an upgrade disk, you can do this by entering is not your product key during the installation and the next article Paul Thurrot Clean install Windows 7 with upgrade media, if you have only one disk to upgrade you will need to interrupt the use of your XP machine by the upgrade license.

    If you want to import your settings from XP, background, bookmarks, desktop icons etc Fund this Microsoft Download: Windows Easy Transfer for transferring from Windows XP (32 bit) to Windows 7.

  • Thunderbird stops for one minute with the symbol of the waiting and then returns an error message on a script does not? CAUSED: By McAfee

    Thunderbird stops especially when you write a message, displays the circle waiting and finally back with a message on a script does not properly. The choices are stop script or continue, the choice is obviously stop. It's embarrassing, I have set up with the same problem with XP on Thunrderbird and on Firefox and supposed to with Win 8.1 this would go, I was wrong. It is a standard installation of you bird, have not had the problem again with F'fox.

    Thanks for the info, I intend to replace McAfee but looks, as norton may have the same problem or a similar problem and is probably what is causing issues with XP. E machine XP will disappear but will have to solve on the new machine.
    Once again thanks for the info.

  • Qosmio G30: I am looking for an atenna with the appropriate male connector

    My G30 came with an analog TV tuner antenna adapter. The adapter is female. IM hardly an atenna with the appropriate male connector to connect this adapter. I tried one type of coaxial cable but failed.

    In this case, what is the type of connector should I look for?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Hmmm, a long time ago, I used a G20 and I think the G30 is using the same antenna adapter.
    I simply connected the antenna to the coaxial antenna cable adapter.

    These coaxial cables use male and female connectors.
    There are also adapters with 2 x female or 2 male connectors.

    I think that you should just ask the computer, TV/video shop for a compatible cable/adapter!

  • Restart the error for Windows Vista with the recovery disk

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6889 about two years ago. It came with Windows Vista. I subscribed to Norton AntiVirus and it totally messed up the computer. We lived with a duration of 5 to 10 minutes from start-up. In addition, many programs crash and it takes a lot of time for anything to work. I decided to for a recovery and a restore using the disks provided with the laptop. I followed the instructions, but it keeps hanging up on the second disc.

    I tried to use a method that I found searching for forums (restart the computer by pressing '0', but I got lost on the loading cycle.) I'm not very strong programming and I guess when a CD provided by the company must be used for recovery, it should work.  All my programs were legitimate, I want just my OS back so that I can use my computer.

    Help, please. Thank you.
