After Using iPhoto diet iPhoto 5 doesn't work.

I removed all duplicates and iphoto just grinds and grinds. It can't display most thumbnails. The color wheel always spins. What happened?

hello lori,
i've had similar problems with iphoto diet - though not with crashing. unfortunately, in my paranoia to not lose any photos, i've imported similar photos several times into iphoto. iphoto diet does strange things sometimes - in my experience, it doesn't always remove the proper duplicate, etc. so i've resorted to manually sorting each of 15K (ouch!) photos to remove the correct duplicate. i do this by sorting through the photos for different years. i've started working on 2004, and wanted to start with a clean slate and erase all the photos, then only import the orinigals i want, but iphoto 'residually' shows the saved thumbnails (i think they're thumbnails b/c they are only about 16kb, and don't open to full size - i get the 'white screen' that others have mentioned). i entered the iphoto folder (i know - a no no, but didn't know how else to erase 2004 photos) and deleted the 2004 folder.
sorry for being so wordy - can you suggest a way to eliminate my 2004 photos in a way that would be iphoto-friendly ?
thanks for any suggestions.
-vince

  • After using TM My flash drive doesn't work on windows ! what should i do?

    Hi everyone !
    i Bought My Macbook Pro 2 Days Ago And This Is The First Time That I'm Using A Mac.
    today i tried to make a backup of my Mac Os and i thought maybe i could use my flash drive , so i connected it and i opened the TM and it asked me that it should erase my flash drive so it can back up the files on it , but after doing all that stuff i found out that my flash's capacity is not enough for a complete backup, but now i cant use it like i used to, and it doesn't show up on my windows ... now how can i make it work normal ?!

    it doesn't show up on my windows ...
    If you mean 'wndows computer'... You will need to go to your Applications/Utilities folder and run 'Disk Utility'.
    Plug in the flash drive, locate it on the left and click on the name to select it.
    Then erase/format it using MS-DOS. When done, close Disk Utility and eject the flash drive.
    Check it for proper operation on a Windows machine.
    You can also erase/format it on a Windows machine or in a digital camera, as an example.
    You can also format it for Mac OS, but I recommend keeping it Windows format for compatibility.
    Good luck in any case.

  • My internet freezes occasionally after using iphoto

    Occasionally, after using iphoto, particulary the photo books, the internet will freeze.  The only way to get going again, is to reboot the computer.

    How is that related to Firefox support?

    It's beta open source software so I'm not surprised. It does't look to be too active a project, so I don't know if it will help or not but you might be maybe better off posting a bug report on their Sourceforge page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/

    go to '''TOOLS '''then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK tab''' then '''SETTINGS tab''' and select the options '''NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK '''again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
    ''if you like to not disable the proxy settings choose'' : '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' (it is in the same session)

  • My iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it and it doesn't work to restore it in itunes. what should i do?

    my iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it and it doesn't work to restore it in itunes. what should i do?

    Hello ole-gunnar,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
    If you see a black screen
    You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on. 
    You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
    Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
    Restart your device.
    If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Get more help
    If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support. 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • My VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA doesn't work.

    Since I upgraded to Mavericks, my VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA doesn't work. When I was using Mountain Lion, as soon as you plugged in the Mini adaopter into the mini display port, the screen would shrink and format to where it would project via a RGB cable to a projector. No such luck since Mavericks! Also, I had a lot of trouble with the DVD player when I tried to play a DVD and project it via a projector. It all worked seamlessly with Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me?

    I think if you go to System Preferences >> Displays and Option-click on the "Scaled" radio button, it will show you all of the resolutions that you would have had before under Mountain Lion. I just upgraded to Maverick and my resolution preferences (mirrored on a TV using the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, using 1280x768) were completely reset (my display was no longer mirrored, and the resolution on my main iMac screen became 2560x1440). I found my answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23599645#23599645. Hope that helps.

  • How do I restore column headings in Response table after accidently deleting them? Undo doesn't work.

    How do I restore column headings in Response table after accidently deleting them? Undo doesn't work (only seems to go back one level). I also have so many headings I won't be able to type them in manually!

    With the help of information from user, ptressel, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032154#answer-673322 a post here about the existence of sessionstore.js when version 33 was released], I was able to easily recover my tabs and tab groups as follows:
    # close Firefox and, perhaps, allow a few seconds (30s?) for any final closing of files;
    # check to see if you have a sessionstore.js file in your profile folder, named like the one I documented in my original post above;
    # if it is not timestamped prior to the discovery of your problem, open the sessionstore-backups folder;
    # check if the recovery.js file is suitably timestamped and, if not, the recovery.bak.
    # At this point, you are likely to find that none of them are prior to your problem occuring. If so, open your backups of this folder and go through steps 2-4 to find a file prior to your problem occuring.
    # When you find a file, copy it to the root of your current profile folder and name it, "sessionstore.js"
    # Open Firefox. Mine opened up as desired.
    This is a Windows solution. Sorry I can't comment on other platforms, but I'd bet that as this is just a file copy and renaming, it is likely the same.
    For Windows users, you may find you need to sign out and login as an administrator in order to access the backups. You need not logoff your standard account, but do have Firefox closed as described above.
    Hope that helps.

  • After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.

    After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.

    After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.
    In what way? Your MyPhotoStream photos will show in in the Photos.app in the "Recently Added" album, but their is no longer a "My Photo Stream" album.
    If you enabled "iCloud Photo Library Beta" in the "Video/Photos" Settings, disable it. This will prevent the Photo Stream from syncing from your Macs to the iOS 8 devices.

  • Can no longer login after using iPhoto

    I have a teacher's white Macbook running OS X 10.5.5 when they login, they put in the id and password, click login, the field turn gray and the machine hangs. We've left it for about 1.5 hrs, but no change. This happens with the teacher or admin account. This happened last week, and for the sake of time, I did an archive install. It seemed to resolve the problem, until she logged into iPhoto printed some pictures, logged out of iPhoto and her account. Boom, she can't login again.
    A detail that did not seem important last week has surfaced again, she was working in iPhoto both times, logged out, then at the next login the problem appears. I booted via Firewire from another machine to look at system log.

    No, I have not applied iLife 8.3.1 update it wasn't out last week. I did post this to the Leopard Install and Config area, no response, so since iPhoto appears to be a contributing factor, I thought I'd ask here
    Any suggestions?

  • Picassa iPhoto uploader doesn't work in iPhoto 08 anymore

    Hi
    I post some of my photos on Picassa. With iPhoto 07, no prb: I downloaded the Picassa iPhoto uploader, and from iPhoto, I used to be able to export my albums easily. But I upgraded to iPhoto 08 few days ago, and just realized there's a bug, and the Picassa uploader doesn't work anymore: after formatting the pictures, the process freezes during the 'Create Album' step, my mac fan starts to run crazy, and I have to cancel the operation. I deleted and reinstalled the uploader, same thing. I can still use the uploader to load picture in Picassa from Finder directly, but I think it was easier and sleeker to do it from iPhoto. I'm disappointed to find such a bug. Has anyone else met that problem with Picassa, or with any other uploader? Is there a solution?
    Thanks
    Laurent

    You'll have to wait until Picasa and the other plugin developers update their plugins to be compatible with iPhoto 7. The ball's in their court.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
