Beachball for Itunes and Iphoto :-(

Hi all,
everytime when I startup Iphoto or Itunes on my Macbook and want to scroll, I get the beachball for a couple of minutes...
I turned off sharing but doesnt help. When I stop the program and restart it (not the computer), same story...
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks!

My guess is that since the problem seems to be interrelated to WiFi, your iTunes and iPhoto are searching for other programs in the area (via the WiFi) to share information with. Try removing all sharing abilities from iTunes and iPhoto before starting them up next time, assuming you can even access them.
Hope that helps!

Do you have a local network setup either wired or wireless? If so, then have both computers connected to the network. Enable File Sharing on both computers in Sharing preferences. Select the startup drive on each computer. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and check the box labeled, Shared Folder.
You can now keep both computers in sync by using a third-party backup/sync utility that will work with a network setup such as:
Data Backup
Deja Vu
Silver Keeper
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
Synchronize Pro! X
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

External Drive for ITunes and IPhoto

I'm out of space on hard drive and would like to use an external hd for all Itunes and Iphotos. Can someone help me in moving these to the external and to make this external the default drive for all things new to both ITunes and IPhoto? I'm a novice!

But yes you can have any media library and folder on add'l drives.

Thunderbolt HDD for iTunes and iPhoto?

I've searched the net in vain for a conclusive answer to this, but maybe someone out there has had some experience or can offer some advice here:
My iMac's HDD is becoming increasingly full of iTunes media, such as music and movies. At the same time, my picture libraries (currently on Aperture 3, soon to be moved back to iPhoto) is also getting larger, so I'd like to move both to an external drive.
I've read that a WD My Book Live (Duo) NAS is not an option as the transfer speeds make it hard to work with larger files ... not to mention (home) sharing iTunes media to an ATV2. My thought, then, is to get a WD My Book Thunderbold Duo (for the Raid 1 security) and put both photo and iTunes media on it. Obviously, for iTunes, I'd still have to have my iMac running 24/7, but that wouldn't be a change from now. Having the Raid 1 capability would at least give me some degree of comfort in terms of potential data loss.
What are peoples' thoughts on this? Could a Thunderbolt drive be the solution for streaming the media (and yes, my iMac does have a Thunderbolt port)?
Any and all advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Best way to setup personal cloud network for iTunes and iPhoto media?

Looking for a way to free 1TB storage space on multiple Apple devices, but still have virtually anywhere access to those media files with an easy, quick and reliable interface. Mac Mini Server might be a bit steep at $1000. (for that price you can get an MBA 11" or nearly an iMac)
I purchased a WD My Cloud 2TB, but I do not think iPhoto 09 will be able to organize and access photos from not only a network drive, but one that is not Mac OS X Extended (Journaled).
Network Devices
RCN – Cable Network and ISP – 48 MBPS Down – 6 MBPS Up
RCN Cable Modem – Arris TM722
AirPort TimeCapsule Router A1409 (2TB and USB Port) 3 LAN-1 WAN - Gigabit – a/b/g/n
NetGear Switch GS605 - 5 port Gigabit Switch wired connection to AirPort TimeCapsule
Western Digital My Cloud – (2TB and USB Port) wired connection to AirPort TimeCapsule
Apple TV 2nd Generation – wired connection to AirPort TimeCapsule
Samsung HDTV UN40C6300SFXZA – LAN wired to NetGear switch via CAT6 shows 10/100mbps (Amber Light)
Nintendo WII – wired connection to NetGear Switch
Sony PS3 – wired connection to NetGear Switch
iPhone 4 – iOS 5 - 32GB – Quantity 2 – WiFi Connection
MacBook Pro 2010 6,2 – Mountain Lion 10.8.5 – 320GB HDD – WiFi connection - Sync iPhone – 2 Users
MacBook – Leopard 10.5.8 – WiFi connection – hoping to speed up after freeing space.

Terence,
Any novice friendly, photo management software that you might recommend to achieve a centralized media, personal cloud? (ie Phase One Media Pro 1 or some other)
Maybe Add, Delete and View by many devices, but Editing and Projects on one main computer are the extent of capabilities I would need.
Anywhere, Anytime on Anything, that is what the Apple Ecosystem should be
Freeing up storage on the devices is the wall that we are hitting our heads against. We want to access our old photos while having room to take new ones. SSD drives are great - lighter, thinner, faster, but way less capacity for the price. Add to that the numerous devices that dramatically increase the ability to create content and you have a very foreseeable, major storage bottleneck that Apple has not adequately addressed. They have put considerable resources and marketing into the Apple Ecosystem, and its ease of use and integration. However, they did not create anything to put it all, other than the digital equivalent of boxes in the basement where once a decade you open it up to see what's there.
It just seems like it should not be that difficult to store a thumbnail library on the local to organize the photos by events, faces, locations. Then pull a copy of the photo from the network drive for editing, email, message, etc... then save the photo back to the network when editing is finished. However, if multiple devices can be adding, deleting and editing simultaneously, I guess that would would increase the problem exponentially. Adding, deleting and tagging would be 99% of the activity for consumer level software so it seems there should be a solution.

Sync two iPhones with two different iTunes and iPhoto libraries script

I'm sure this is answered elsewhere, but I was not able to find a solution to this easily. My wife "L" and I, "J" have iPhones, also different tastes in music, and wanted a way to not have all of our own pictures filling up our default iPhoto library. So we first set up two different iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Two diffrent contact libraries would be nice, but contact groups worked okay for this. But then everytime we would sync, it meant opening both iTunes and iPhoto while holding the option key then selecting which library depending on which phone was going to be pluged in. Believe me, you only need to have "Automatically sync" turned on and plug in the wrong iPhone before all sorts of problems arise!
Let me state, I am not fluent with AppleScript, but rather I found bits and pieces close to what I wanted here and there on the www and kept playing until it worked. This works flawlessly everytime on our MacBook, and, unless your initials are J & L and there are only two of you, you will have to change some letters here and there throughout the script to make it work for your situation. Think of this as a rough draft and start to play. I'm sure there is a simpler way to write this script, so to all the real authors, please re-write!
So we have two libraries for iTunes and iPhoto. One set of libraries named J's iTunes library and J's iPhoto library, and another two named L's iTunes library and L's iPhoto library. I wanted to create one app that would close the current libraries, and open the correct ones (or return to our default libraries) depending on what iPhone was to be synced. Using AppleScript Editor and saving the script as an application, this is what I came up with:
display dialog "Do you want to continue to set iTunes and iPhoto libraries?" buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button "Continue"
tell application "iPhoto" to quit
tell application "iTunes" to quit
set Y to the button returned of (display dialog "Which libraries do you want to use?" buttons {"L's", "Reset to Defaults", "J's"} default button "Reset to Defaults")
if Y = "Reset to Defaults" then set Y to "i"
if Y = "L's" then set Y to "l"
if Y = "J's" then set Y to "j"
tell application "System Events"
key down option
delay 1
          tell application "iPhoto"
activate
delay 3
                    tell application "System Events"
key up option
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke Y
          tell application "System Events"
key code 36
          end tell
end tell
delay 2
tell application "System Events"
key down option
          tell application "iTunes"
activate
                    tell application "System Events"
key up option
keystroke return
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke Y
end tell
tell application "System Events"
key code 36
end tell
if Y = "i" then tell application "iTunes" to quit
if Y = "i" then tell application "iPhoto" to quit

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately this does not work because iTunes still keeps one account with the store active regardless which library I open. So when I switch the account in the store it will be switched for both libraries. That means that I can not separate the iPhone applications and all the other specific sync parameters.
I thought about using my wife's account on the Mac and pointing iTunes to the new library - the problem here is that then the iPhoto library is not accessible any more......
I can't really believe that there is no solution from Apple - I mean there must be more couples and families out there with 2 and more iPhones syncing with one iTunes / iPhoto etc libraries.
Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

Want to save files, documents, bookmarks, iTunes and iPhoto libraries, each in separate folders to external hard drive prior to full sweep and overwrite for the purpose of full sweep of Macbook?

Never done this before and cannot find a manual for OS X 10.7.5 Lion. Basically I want to clean my 2009 Macbook6,1 as though I were selling it and start out fresh but before I attempt it I want to stash my contents (Files, Documents, Bookmarks, iTunes and iPhoto libraries to my external Hard Drive, all in separate folders to return them to Macbook after the full sweep and big overwrite. Can anyone help me?

That may not be the best approach (see below).
Format the drive for a Mac (see #1 in Using Disk Utility if you're not sure how).
Create the folders you want on it.
Open a second Finder window and drag what you want from one to the other.
If you only copy the stuff listed, you'll lose your AddressBook, Mail, Calendars, preferences, and probably all sorts of other things.
A better option might be to back up your entire system, either with Time Machine or one of the "cloning" apps. Then you can restore selectively from TM, or copy selectively from the clone.

My iphone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto, but it will not show as a device in finder for macbook pro

My iPhone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto however it does not show up in finder under devices.

I don't agree - I have two IMacs and two iPhones - the iPhone 4S show up on one machine, but not the other. They do show that they are charging, and a memory stick will open on the same USB ports. So, I don't think this is how they are "supposed to work"......

Clean install of Mavericks with backup of iTunes and iPhoto on partitioned half of HD

Recently my Macbook pro has been running into the spinning beachball more and more often. In order to figure out wether this is a hardwear or software issue I want to clean install Mavericks and whipe the drive. Only issue with this is I dont have any external hard drive for a iTunes or iPhoto backup so I was wondering if it would be possible to create a partion on my 500gb internal drive where I could store my iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Is this possible? If so how risky?

Sure it's possible and it's not risky. Use Disk Utility and resize your current single partition which give you free space. Then click the '+' sign to turn that free space into a partition. Click Apply.

I would like to connect an external hard drive to my time machine and use it as a network drive to store itunes and iPhoto how do i do this

I have just purchased a new my book hard drive and would like to connect it to my time capsule and store my itunes and iphoto contentent there to free up space on my internal hard drive . Can this be done and what is the process?

I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy.

How do i restore my itunes and iphoto from time machine?

I backed up my iMac using Time Machine using an external drive, after purchasing a MacBook Pro. I now want to move my iTunes and iPhoto from this iMac time machine backup to my new MacBook, but I can't get past the "you can't open the application because it is in a time machine backup". I attempted to migration assistant and it said it moved all of my applications over, but the songs and photos from my old iTunes and iPhoto didn't transfer. How can I just ******* move the songs and photos to my new computer from my god **** external drive? Why does it have to be so complicated...

Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

How do I get iTunes and iPhoto to recognize my iPhone 4?

I have a MacBook Pro (version 10.5.8). I recently installed a new hard drive, battery, and had the Genius Bar reinstall my OS X. Now, iTunes and iPhoto don't recognize my iPhone 4 (version 5.1) when it's attached through the USB port. It simply doesn't show up in the left column of either program. Before the hard drive, battery and reinstall of OS X, I never had this problem.
I have tried restarting my phone and my computer, and looking for my iPhone in Image Capture, and none of these actions have worked.
Help!

Update: I did this and it now recognizes my phone. But iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2) still does not recognize my phone. Any advice?

ITunes and iPhoto Crash! Not working.

Ok so 2 days ago i started getting problems with my Mac(10.6.2) (First time like ever!). I tried to start Firefox, it crashed on start up and i mean, it bounced and then NOTHING! I deleted the .plist file and restarted and it worked. Next, iPhoto went down, it wont start at all. Same thing, bounces in the dock and then nothing, not even a start screen.
I did the same, deleted plist files, even removing and deleting the library (i have all photos backed up so i just wiped the whole thing). I even used "iPhotoLibraryManager" and it didn't do anything, restarted, everything i can think of, still no iPhoto. I googled and googled and found page after page of things that didn't help one bit. Now to be honest i can life without iPhoto, but i NEED to have iTunes, thats not a option.
So next, iTunes now wont work, (9.1.1) it seems each day a new program is gone! Same as before, i click iTunes icon, it bounces and then dead. I looked up console messages and it is saying (for BOTH iTunes and iPhoto)
"[0x0-0x63063].com.apple.iTunes[810] dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Symbolication.framework/Versions/A/Symbolicat ion" "com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[93] (com.apple.ReportCrash[817]) Job appears to have crashed: Trace/BPT trap"
So it looks like the libraries are corrupt or something? This seems to be all im getting. Again, i tried rebuilding library, deleting itunes.plist and even deleting the program (and the whole itunes folder) and reinstall a new one from apple, i even made a new user account and logged in and same exact thing, bounce and dead!
Does anyone know ANYTHING that will help me? I seem to have tried everything!! I am lost without iTunes! Please help... :(:(:(

I would boot to your install disc that came with your computer, like you're going to reinstall. After you pick your language, choose Utilities from the menu bar, open Disk Utility, choose your regular boot drive on the left column, then Repair Disk. See if it turns up anything. Then it wouldn't hurt to Repair Permissions while you're in there. Any permission errors can probably be ignored.
Repair Disk can fix directory problems, up to a point. Hopefully your drive is OK.
I'd give it a try anyway.
Tried that now, and its still the same, just wont work!
