Buggy/Instable when scrolling in Iphoto
And also when you're in an event? My sister and I are both having the same problem. It's seems like since the last update a week or so ago it started acting like this. You can't scroll smoothly....track pad is very jumpy and in an event the same thing. This only seems to happen in iPhoto. And since were using two different Macs we couldn't figure it out. Anyone else?
I'm having similar problems since the upgrade; iPhoto hangs up every couple of minutes and I get the spinning beach ball.
Scrolling is also much jumpier than it used to be.
Several of my thumbnails have been honked up so that the wrong thumbnail is displayed for a few images.
Time to rebuild the library and hope for the best....

When scrolling through IPhoto, others photos displayed?
Recently I had a number of problems where I had to get a new hard drive and restore everything.
The hard drive was replaced after I brough my MacBook Pro to Apple regarding a problem with my slideshows. The music, and sometime the pictures, were skipping and/or pausing for various lengths. I had tried repair data without success.
The tech felt the hard drive was having problems so it was replaced.
After a full restore the slideshows were a little better in that only the music skipped or paused. I checks the music source and it was all fine.
So we went back to Apply and our only choice was a Rebuild Database (was reluctant to do this because I thought I might loose all me projects like slideshows and albums.) Well, the Rebuild worked and the slideshows seem fine.
However, now whenever I scroll through pictures, photos from everywhere show up for a split second before changing to the correct photos. In slideshows the stream of photos accross the top are all random from the IPhoto data base. When I select one of them, the correct photo is displayed.
It doesn't seem to affect the slideshow but makes it difficult when editing.
Any ideas? I am using IPhoto 11 p.3.2 and I have installed the latest update.I have tried, several times, to rebuild my thumbnails. However. after progressing to a little over half way I keep getting the following message:
The volume for “DSC_3556.JPG” cannot be found.
Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.
With the options - CANCEL FIND PHOTO TRY AGAIN
Find Photo does not give me any possibilities and Try Again doesn't work. So I keep hitting cancel. Each time I hit Cancel and a new "Volume for..." comes up. I have spent hours hitting Cancel and although the Progress Bar moves a bit, it never ends and usually crashes.
I try again and it appears that the same volume I cancelled the first and second tries appear again.
I also noticed that every time I open an event there is a mish mash of pictures with only a few that belong there. Howver, when I click on them, the right photo appears.
This is a real mess. -
In my iPhoto library, only some images appear as thumbnails. The rest are blank but appear briefly when scrolling through or properly when double clicked. Any ideas?
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

When I scroll pages in Safari, they 'fracture' - i.e. graphics break up, lines of text split, yet when I try to capture the screen to illustrate the problem it fixes itself. What's going on?? Only noticed this since upgrading to 10.5.4 and Safari 3.1.2.
Hi There, Also having breakup lines whilst scrolling in Safari. Doesn't do it on Firefox. Also when scrolling in "Events" in iPhoto Library, the thumbnails break up with white flashing rectangles. Doesn't look so good! Any ideas? Looks like the display doesn't like it somehow.

Numbers crashes when scrolling
Since updating to IOS 8, including all subsequent updates released for IOS 8, Numbers has exhibited crashing when scrolling horizontally or vertically when the spreadsheet exceeds the screen boundaries. I have erased Numbers from the iPad Air (symptoms seem to cover full iPad family) and reloaded from iTunes. This does not resolve the crash. The crash seems to occur when scrolling in a flipping finger motion, vertically or horizontally. The faster the finger flip the more likely and sooner Numbers will crash. Scrolling horizontally or vertically in a slower motion seems to delay the eventual crash, but does not eliminate the problem. This tendency for crashing Numbers renders this software useless. I sincerely hope that the Apple software team will review this problem. It has been sited in a number of other support threads.

I was having similar problems in Lion when with windowserver crashes when switching between windows or scrolling in Numbers or switching to iPhoto from other apps. I upgraded to ML because I was told this may fix the issue. Now i can't keen open iPhoto. I have Pram restarted and iPhoto opens but as soon as an image is selected I have another window server crash. Pre ML install I did a clean install of Lion and it made no difference.
Hopefully no one here told you that. A common theme is people blaming all problem on Lion or Mountain Lion, whatever operating system was just released and telling people with obvious hardware problems that they need to wait for a "bug fix". Updates come and updates go - taking warranties with them - but no fix ever happens.
There is a small possibility that the "Soundflower" kernel extension is giving you problems. It is very unusual to see a kernel panic without Soundflower being listed. If you remove that and still have panics, then it is definitely a hardware problem. -
Photos in iPhoto album are only a hash-marked outline the image only shows when scrolling how can I see the image and open the photo?
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Lion reverse scrolling works in Safari and iWork apps, but not in iPhoto. Is there a way to make it work?
When they introduced Lion, Apple changed the direction of scrolling that results from a two finger swipe on the trackpad. When you swipe down, the page moves down the way it does on an iPhone. In Leopard and earlier systems, the page moves up when you swipe down. Although we got used to it, this is really counter-intuitive. Apple made the change in Lion to make it easier for people who are migrating to the Mac from the iPhone and iPad. When I wrote my question, scrolling in iPhoto was behaving the way it used to under Snow Leopard. I have since done some maintenance on the system and iPhoto is once again scrolling as it should. I have no idea what made it misbehave.
Thanks for the reply.

When I scroll through IPhoto it goes too fast. Is there a way to control that?
Probably not
What version of iPhoto and of the OS? What has changed since it worked like you want?

Keep the zoom level the same when scrolling through photos
To decide which is the best photo that i’ve got, i usually compares the details by zooming and switching through photos back and forth, but keep the zoom level the same..
The problem is, in iPhoto 11 i can’t do this..
Because everytime i scroll to another photo, it always zoomed out by itself..
Does anybody know how to retain the zoom level when scrolling through images?How hare you zooming? When I double click on a photo to bring up its full sized image and use the keyboards arrow keys to scroll thu the size stays the same? Is that how you're doing it?
Have you tried using the Full Screen mode?

My Apple TV will not show my photos in iPhoto on my iMac in the same sequence of images that I can see when viewing the iPhoto photos on my iMac. This is especially frustrating when I try to show my travel pictures in sequence on my TV. I have to resort to showing them on my iMac which defeats the principle purpose for purchasing my MacTV. Does anyone have a solution?
My Apple TV is Model MC 572C/A and the software is 5.2.1 (6025)
My iMac is Mac OSX version 10.7.5
THANKS!
Doug MayI can't recall whether slideshows are ordered by title or date, but you can manually re-arrange the albums in iPhoto, then batch change them once you have the order you want.

I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.
Here's the url for that archived discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3849933?start=0&tstart=0
Can anyone help? I'm using iPhoto 5. My MAC is an OS X version 10.4.11.
thanks, brokenlomHere are Apple's instructions:
If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
Click Choose Library.
Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
(from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

I am using iPhoto '08 and moved my library to my external hard drive exactly as all the instructions online explained how to do. I renamed the original "iPhoto Library.old" and ,y external hard drive shows a iPhoto library using the same amount of memory as what it shows on my internal hard drive. Here is where is becomes a problem. When I hold the option key and open iPhoto, the only box that comes up does not give me a list of libraries to choose from. It give me the option to "Create new library" or "choose existing library". When I click "choose existing library" I can find the copied library on my external hard drive but when I open it, iPhoto shows No Photos. When I have tried opening the original iPhoto Library (the exact same way using the option key and choosing library) that I have not done anything to, except rename it, it does the exact same thing: No Photos. Both my internal and external hard drives show about 137 GB of space being taken up by photos but I can't access them. My other big problem is that ,y internal hard drive is completely full, which is why I am trying to transfer them to an external, to free up space so I am very limited on what I can do because I have no free space. Also, when I open iPhoto and try to go to the Preferences to change to path under advanced settings, it freezes and I have to force close it.
Ay advice would be greatly appreciated as I am getting stressed out that I can't open my thousands of photos!My guess is that the library has been corrupted from being run on an overfull HD.
So, try rebuild the Library on the External
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. -
When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?! and then I'd like to erase the original files since the space requirement is huge!!!! Why is upgrading software iPhoto such a pain. I've gotta get a presentation done and all I get for my money is roadblock!!!
hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.

When I open Iphoto, I see all my photos for a second and then they disappear and only a white dotted box appears. Then I click on it and for photos is a triangle with an exclamation point. It doesn't happen to all but quite a lot. how to I get them back
Have you recently deleted photos using the finder or run clean up software? Is so restore your backup
If not the backup your iPhoto Library and launch iPhoto while depressing the option and command keys. Rebuild your database
