    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Started as a Blank Screen, now my MacBook Pro is useless.

    I have a serious issue that has cost me well over $2,000 now and I am getting ******. I am a programmer and I have multiple projects on my Mac that I have now lost. I do have a Time Machine backup but its weeks old. Didn’t realize Snow Leopard was the new Vista.
    Snow Leopard does not work and I cannot restore my computer back to Leopard. The issue I am having is the blank screen bug that is caused by Snow Leopard. When using 10.6.0 I was able to resolve the blank screen by simply reinstalling Snow Leopard.
    I updated to 10.6.1 and I now have the blank screen and this time my MacBook Pro is unresponsive. For me to get the blank screen all I need to do is put my computer to sleep. When it goes to sleep there is 50/50 chance it will recover. This is the first time it happened with 10.6.1, the issue is now more sever, my assumption is 10.6.1 caused this. This is not a hardware issue; I have already eliminated that possibility. Taking the MacBook Pro to the Apple store is out of the question. They had a Mac Pro of mine for 2 weeks and said it was fixed, when I got it back it was still broken. I fixed it in 3 hours…. They almost broke my raid card in the process. The so-called Apple Geniuses are idiots.
    I’m turning here as a last resort, I’m not expecting to get this resolved but it’s worth a try. In a nutshell, my problems as of right now are:
    1. Mac will not boot – I have a blank screen, like my computer is in sleep mode and won’t wake.
    2. I have a CD in the drive that I cannot remove. I tried all methods to remove it, still no luck. I am about to take it apart to manually remove the CD.
    3. I have already tried resetting my PRAM and NVRAM, no change.
    4. I have tried to use Target mode but it seems useless. I have tried to use every mode to boot that Apple has and still it’s a no go.
    5. This is not the possible nVidia graphics card issue because it’s not just a video problem. I am out of warranty so it may seem a useful escape goat.
    6. I have upgraded my HardDrive and my memory. I have no issues with this hardware, I know the issues are not related to the new hardware installed, I already tested this hardware and this issue only happens on Snow Leopard.
    All that’s let for me to do as of this moment is to get my refund for Snow Leopard and move back to Windows…. I really hate Windows but it’s more stable than Snow Leopard.
    To any that can help, thanks; if not, hope this doesn’t happen to you.

    Using process of elimination, Snow Leopard has ruined my MacBoook Pro. I have tested my HD and Memory in other MBP’s and they work fine. I had no issues till I used SL and it is obvious that it was the cause of the issue. I’m sure Apple will deny this claim….. Be warned.
    I now have a $2,500 paper weight. I’m done with Apple…. Hackintosh was more stable anyways.

  • The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes

    The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • When I click on a picture or a link, to take a closer look, I get a blank screen and it says at the top search bookmarks and history, at the bottom it says 'stopped' - what is this problem and why is it happening

    when I click on a link to complete a form, or a link to take a closer look at a picture, I get a blank screen and it says at the top 'search bookmarks and history', at the bottom it says 'stopped' - what is this problem and why is it happening ?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    How much free space do you actually have? Go to the Apple menu and select About This Mac... More Info... and click on the Storage tab. You should see something like this...
    This will show you how much free space you have and what's taking up all the space on your hard drive. You may need to backup and trash some seldom used files, applications, etc. You have to drag them into the Trash and empty the trash to regain the space. A general rule of thumb is that you should have about 15% of your hard drive storage free.
    Good luck,

    Hi Darr4425,
    That's not good! We definitely want your device to work properly at all times. What email application are you attempting to open? When did the issue start? Do you receive an error message when the application force closes?
