IPhoto shows blank screen on startup

My iPhoto 08 started crashing a lot so I decided to get iLife 09, Once I had installed it iPhoto 09 opens up with nothing in the source list or in the main window, and the only control on the screen is the size slider at the bottom right. The only way to quit is to force quit. I did find that if I choose new album from the menu the rest of the source list appears along with my photos but just thumbnail show and arn't clickable.
I have tried holding alt when I start and making a new library but again it just shows a blank screen. I tried creating a new user to rule out a preference problem.
I tried re-installing.
I tried deleting all iLife apps, receipts, coreTypes.bundle, iLifeMediaBrowser.framework,iLifeSlideshow.framework and then re-installing again, but nothing works!
Is there anything else I can delete to get rid of all traces of iLife to start from scratch?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’

  • My macbook pro shows blank screen when I started..help me..

    My macbook pro shows blank screen when I started . (It's like in same state when power off. ) fan sound and hard disk is running. So i connected it Through external monitor via mini display to VGA cable. I can see everything on external monitor. My display of Mac needs to change? How much it cost ?? I found so many forum discussion said that if nvedia card is faulty then its happen...let me know suggestions...I given it to apple care service station n they r telling yr display needs to change its cost me a lot.. I can't afford. And can't spend that much for 3 yr old version as new versions of macbook pro is cost vice reasonable.. can I have any suggestion?

    If running 10.7 or later hold down Command-R at Startup.
    This should invoke recovery Mode.
    Choose Disk Utility.
    Select your Hard drive. Inspect the SMART Status in the lower right of the window for "Verified".
    Select the Mac OS X Volume (originally Macintosh HD) click (Repair Disk)
    If errors, run again until it comes clean or gets stuck.
    Report any error messages.

  • PC fails to reboot and shows blank screen after automatic windows updates including SP

    Pavilion- a1130n"  WINXP ProfessionalC fails to reboot and shows blank screen  after automatic install ing windows updates including SP 3

    I would love to say that a refresh worked for me however it did not.It takes about 30 Minutes total I was able to trace part of the issue to a Registry Key that was tagging the processor. Because my BIOS manages its own temp gauge and windows is trying to
    build on in I had to turn the BIOS one off as well as for some reason I get better funtionality with Visualization off.
    I am still dealing with a lag but I was able to get ride of the freeze that made the computer completely useless.

     Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I read your post about the BIOS, and wanted to assist you! The blank screen and blinking of your Caps Lock, is the system trying to give you the error code for the issue your notebook is having.  You can review the following document for further assistance, if needed:HP Notebook PCs - Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code Please note the blinking sequence of your Caps Lock, and follow the instructions in the document above.  From the information that you provided, it is possible that the blink code will be related to a BIOS error.  You can always try performing a System Restore, to set the notebook back to a previous working point. You can also try checking this site for BIOS drivers. Once there, you can select your Operating System and click "Update", you should be able to access and download the  BIOS drivers.  If you downloaded the latest driver from that site, try uninstalling the driver and installing the previous version. Please let me know if this information was helpful by clicking the thumbs up below.
    Have a great weekend!

    what shows on screen at startup when using find my mac if owner locks it?

    A gray screen where they will have to enter a six digit passcode to unlock the Mac. If the Mac were being used and the remote lock sent, the computer would re-boot to this screen.

  • After overlaying Air SDK 3.6, iOS projects show a blank screen after startup.

    Hi,
    I recently overlaid Air 3.6 in Flash Builder 4.7.  My projects are using stage3D via Starling.  Using the 3.4 SDK that comes installed with FB 4.7, my projects compiled and run fine with both debug and release builds.  After overlaying the 3.6 SDK, the projects work fine in the simulator and on Android but when I run the projects on iOS I get a blank screen.  I reverted to the 3.4 SDK and my projects work fine on iOS.  But, I'd like to be able to have access to the features of 3.6, any and all suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you for you time.
    Chris

    Did you follow these exact directions?
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html
    (They changed recently and are updated for Flash Builder 4.7)
    For step 4, all you have to do is create the blank strip folder - don't need to copy the other files with 4.7 and AIR SDK 3.6.

  • Long blank screen on startup

    I have a 2012 Mac Mini i7 with 10.9.2.  This morning when I rebooted, it did not work right and I just saw static on my monitor.  I manually turned off the Mac Mini then restarted it.  It boots fine now but now I have a long blank screen after the chime and before it asks for my password.  I reset my SMC and PRAM a few times but no change.  I reselected my Macintosh HD in the Startup disk too.  It is like it is timing out looking for something and then after about two minutes it goes to my Macintosh HD for the password.  So it boots up fine now except for this new long pause.  Before it would go to the password almost immediately after the chime.
    Any other thoughts on what I should do?  Thanks.
    Doug

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes  after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Blank screen on startup before login

    Hi, after the recent Yosemite update (10.10.3), my mac on startup, gives me the startup chime but stays in a blank screen for about 10 to 15 seconds before the apple logo shows up, followed by the login screen. This happens irrespective of whether the laptop is connected to a power adapter or not. I tried doing a safe boot and also a Disk Utility check but the problem persists. A friend of mine updated his mac a few days back and reporting the same problem to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Exactly what is it that find to be the problem?
    Open Startup Disk preferences. Select your startup volume then click on the Restart button. Then do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    If that does not help then you might try:

  • Tablet Only Showing Blank Screen

    My tablet is not showing anything on the screen. Only the backlight is on, so the screen gets power. Pressing Windows button is vibrates the tablet. Holding the power button for 10 seconds shuts it off. A short press (like waking it up) lights the blank screen, sometimes the Front Camera blue LED light blinks like it probably should. No Audio.
    I am scared. I saved money for two years, then two months ago I bought this tablet now It's just a brick. Bought outside the country. I knew it was a mistake for buying Toshiba as one year ago my Toshiba laptop motherboard died. Should have bought Dell Venue Pro. 

    Same happens to me.
    The first time, I let the battery drain and when it was totally discharged, I plugged the tablet and it worked just fine.
    And now it happened again! bad thing that now it is fully charge and I have to wait again to use it again... I hope.
    Someone had a simmilar issue?

  • How do I get all users to show on screen upon startup for login?

    New MacBook Pro with latest IOS. Yosemite10.10
    I got my first MacBook Pro out of the box from the Apple store yesterday...Logged in as an initial admin user...Then I migrated my MacBook Air to it. All three imported users showed. Success!! Then I restarted the MacBook Pro and the startup screen shows only a single login option: The initial admin user login Icon and name that I used on the MacBook Pro just before migrating the other users in from my MacBook Air.
    So, I deleted the initial user (I did not need it), so that the other users (already with admin rights) would be the only logical logins that should show upon restart.
    Result: The initial "deleted" user shows still, all alone and none of the other users.  So I now log in to this "deleted" user, it is very slow to start before the other logins eventually appear after the this delay. 
    How do I get my users to show at the login screen upon startup and restart?

    Go to Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure your time zone is correct and turn on Set Automatically if it isn't on already.
