Iphoto has recently stopped working; it continually shows the loading circle. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it, updated it

Iphoto has recently stopped working; it continually shows the loading circle. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it,updated it and reinstalled all my apps with the ‘applications install DVD’ however it still does not work. I have also tried holding the command and option key while pressing iphoto then when the pop up appears i press the checkboxes that have been suggested by other users however nothing happens. Any other suggestions would be great!

Ok the program itself is likely fine, it's the files it depends on that are not.
Step #1
1: Open your Users/Library/Preferences folder (if on Lion you need to use the Go in Finder)
2: Scroll down until you see a file called
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
3: Trash it and reboot, start iPhoto and see if it works.
Step #2
1: Go to your Users/Pictures/iPhoto Library and right (or hold option) click on it and "show package contents"
2: Inside will be a folder with your originals, copy them out.
3: Move and rename the iPhotoLibrary file outside of the Pictures folder.
4: Reboot and restart iPhoto, check inside the Pictures folder if iPhotoLibrary was created.
5: Download ClamXav and run a scan on the Original photo's and your whole machine too while your at it.
(it's if there is a picture in there from Windows it could contain a corruption caused by malware)
6: Reimport the originals back into iPhoto.
See if those two steps resolve your issue, if not I could suspect next a network issue? Like iPhoto is trying to contact the internet and can't or gets hung?
You can can create another user, use the Shared Drop box to transfer files and log into the other user and see if it's a issue with just your User account, and if so you might just want to transisition over and then one day delete the old user and it's problems.
Please keep your Flash updated.

  • I had photoshop on my hp and it stopped working, it says error 16. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and nothing works. Also I just bought a Mac, is there any way i can transfer photoshop to my new computer?

    I had photoshop on my hp and it stopped working, it says error 16. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and nothing works. Also I just bought a Mac, is there any way i can transfer photoshop to my new computer?

    Look at this guide:
    Configuration error 16 | CC, CS
    I don't know what version you have, but you cannot install a Windows edition on a Mac, you need the Mac edition.
    If you have Photoshop CS6, you can swap it for a Mac version, otherwise you would have to purchase a full Mac version ($700) or enroll in the $10 per month Photography program from Adobe to use Photoshop CC.

  • System preferences cannot open because it may be damaged or incomplete??.. and now iphoto wont open... it just shows the loading circle.

    I have not deleted anything... I've used the applications install dvd... I've tried following along with previous conversations BUT nothing seems to be working.. can someone please help me?
    Oh! And since this has been not working... my iphoto won't load aswell.. does anyone know how to fix that issue?

    Diane,
    Your photos are in the iPhoto Library. Almost certainly that is intact, so don't worry.
    Go to your Home folder and open the folder called Pictures. What you want is in there, iPhoto Library. Don't do anything there, this is just to reassure yourself.
    So it is a matter of getting the iPhoto app to work. Apps are in the Applications folder. Find it and trash it.
    Next download iPhoto:

  • Satellite T110 - WLan connection has recently stopped working

    I have a Toshiba Satellite T110 with Windows 7 Home Premium.
    The wireless connection has recently stopped working, with the yellow exclamation mark showing over the device symbol.
    On looking at the driver management screen, the following message is shown.
    "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"
    Nothing I have tried seems to shake this error.
    I tried the Toshiba assist diagnostic tool. It simply says the Wireless Connection failed its test.
    I don't know how problem came about because the system worked for about three weeks without a hitch, but I would like to know if anyone else has any experience at solving this problem.
    I could try a rebuild, but I'd prefer not to loose my OS.

    Yes, I downloaded the driver, and re-installed it so it over wrote the existing driver and the WLAN came back and works OK, using it now.
    THis issue was more complicated than I initially thought and I pass it on to help/warn others.
    All my LAN connections were lost, while I was using a public open connection. I suspect a virus. I still have parts of the LAN hardware out, but not stuff I am currently using.
    The Toshiba recovery options were in fact quite limited, without an ability to access all the dud drivers, other than each by hand. A painful process.
    THanks for your help. Another 'gator sunk.

  • HT1695 My Iphone5 has recently stopped working on wi-fi at home and bluetooth in the car.  I am able to connect several other devices to my wi-fi at home and my Iphone will connect to other wi-fi alternatively to my home.

    Hi
    My Iphone 5 has recently stopped working on my home wi-fi and my car bluetooth.  The phone will connect to other wi-fi devices but nothing on the bluetooth at all.  Other devices are able to connect to the home wi-fi.
    I have reset network settings and reset all settings. Still it wont connect to the home wi-fi or my car.
    I have since taken my car in for it to be checked by the garage and am having the same problems in my courtesy car.
    Short of throwing the phone out of the window any suggestions how I can fix it?
    I'm thinking it'll have to be a factory restore

  • How do I get Firefox to work with JoyToKey? It has recently stopped working.

    I use a program called JoyToKey (http://www-en.jtksoft.net/) which allows me to use a gamepad (I use an Xbox 360 gamepad) to emulate mouse movements. I have a medical condition which makes it painful to use an actual mouse, so using a gamepad is the only way I can comfortably and quickly use an Internet browser. After Firefox recently updated to version 6.0.2, it no longer recognizes my gamepad joystick input. Whenever the Firefox window has focus, the cursor does not move when I move the joystick.
    I believe this is some kind of security measure to ensure that all actions are coming from the physical mouse and not from a malicious third party, because Windows has the same feature when the User Account Control dialog is activated - only the actual mouse will work with it, my controller will not. If it is a security measure then it is an appreciated effort, but, sadly, in my case it is actually more harmful than helpful. Any workarounds for this will be greatly welcomed. Thanks for your time.

    I can't help you with that software in particular but I suggest you to try Xpadder, I also have the microsoft xbox 360 gamepad and it works as far as I know

  • My ipod touch screen is cracked from the bottom left corner to the middle button, my button has recently stopped working and i was wondering if this has caused or has another problem occurred, please help me?!ha

  • After updating to FireFox 16.0.1 in Windows, the address bar stopped working, as well as the search bar, though not immediately. Reinstall didn't fix it.

    Initially I downloaded an AOL-optimized version, but when the problems came up I reinstalled the regular version and it was fine. Two days ago it randomly started again. Address bar won't go anywhere with enter or pressing the arrow button, and the search bar has no search engine. Trying add a search engine by clicking "manage search engines" doesn't help; the "add search enginges" button is unresponsive and there are none in the list to choose from. I uninstalled everything including my customizations and personal settings and reinstalled, which still didn't help. I tried disabling all the plugins and that didn't work either. I even tried searching from the FireFox home page search, since at that point it was the only page I could get to, and even that wouldn't search. The most recent add-on I downloaded was the Evernote Web Clipper I think, but it didn't seem to coincide with the start of the problems.
    Update: I ran a malware program (MalWareBytes) and it came up with nothing. I also got back into FireFox to get the Troubleshooting Information and added it in. In addition, here's my complete plugin/extension list:
    Plugins:
    Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.530
    Google Earth Plugin 6.2.0.5788

    Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
    *[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If that works post back for further advice.
    Next step, if safe mode did not work.
    <u>First: Try a clean install, <sub>(you have had a none standard version installed previously)</sub></u><br /> that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
    See
    * this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    <u>Second: try a New Profile</u>
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
    * this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
    **[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
    ** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
    ** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
    ** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

  • The Audio portion of my 30 pin slot on my iPhone stopped working for no known reason. I tried both resetting and reinstalling everything is there anything else I can do?

    The Audio portion of the 30 pin slot on my iPhone 4 stopped working for no apparent reason. It neither powers on my JAM apogee and Tascam IUS interfaces or  feeds audio in and out of it. I have tried both resetting and reinstalling everything on the iPhone 4. Is there anything I can do to make the 30 pin slot to work again? The interfaces work fine on others devices and they used to work very well on the phone previously.
    Thanks for any suggestions and help,

    Hi shanny202.
    Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
    Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
    Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.
    You locate the nearest Apple Store here: http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/

  • PS12 worked yesterday, today "required sign-in for trial version", uninstalled and reinstalled and now Editor won't open, however Organizer will open, using PC Windows 7-64bit

    Read several posts that others are having same issue.  Tried changing preferences, but administrator file is empty.  I do have PS7 and can work with that, but I paid for PS12 should be able to use it.  I'm having same issue with PE12.  What happened from last night to today?  Can anyone help?  Thank you.  Melz

    Do you have QuickTime installed? If not, install it or Repair it.
    To Repair, START/CONTROL PANEL/PROGRAM n FEATURES/highlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.
    Another thing to check is see whether your system is clear of Malware but you have to SCAN it in a SAFE Mode:
    Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to CNET's download.com to download a free version of Malwarebyte. Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
    To start your computer in safe mode
    Restart computer
    Press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer. 
    On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter. 
    Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
    When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

    I cant login on the installed CC. it only shows the circle of loading. I reinstalled the cc a hundred times and did the tasks the Help on the chat said to me, but the problem is still there.

    Hi Fabian,
    Apologies that it is taking some time, please try the following steps & see if it helps :
    1) Restart your machine.
    2) Open Activity monitor and Force quit Adobe CEF Helper, Creative cloud, Adobe IPC Broker & Crash Deamon if available.
    3) Try to open, if doesn't work then go to Applications>> Adobe Creative cloud>> Right click>> Get Info>> Click on the Add sign>> Select the user you are logged in>> Give Read and write access.
    4) If that doesn't work then enable the root user and launch to update there, check this link on how to enable/sign in to root user: Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    Please let us know if that helps.

  • The office suite shows up twice on the bottom--I need to uninstall and reinstall it but now it still shows up twice; documents act funky and load again when I pick the other icon--how can I reinstall completely so just one office suite in indeed installe

    I put office for MAC on my macbook air--it somehow shows up twice and documents load out there depending on which one you pick. I need to get all of the office installiations off and reinstall but it appears to leave one out there. When I go to applications I cannot see it but I can see it on the icon line on the bottom of the screen. How can I reinstall Office for Mac so there is only one installation on my computer ?

    Unfortunately the information given to you by r8er is incorrect, deleting the Office folder from Applications only partially uninstalls Office.
    Here are the correct uninstallation instructions for you.
    And the icons at the bottom are just shortcuts.
