Bugs with iPhoto, what's wrong?

So pretty much, I rename a title of a photo, and certain things happen;
- They delete themselves when I try to delete a letter.
- When I move to edit the description, the title deletes itself.
- When I move to another photo and successfully edit its title, the previous title I edited, deletes itself.
Anyone got any pointers?
Thanks,
Mike.
P.S. Yes I have tried updating.

What version of iphoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
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. .

Can't pull up group to email to in iPhoto, what's wrong?

In Address book I already have groups set up. Previously, I could email some photos from iphoto and start to type in the group name and the send-to would populate from my address book. Now it does not.

It still works, if you set the "iPhoto Preferences > General" to "Email photos using: Mail" and not "iPhoto". The only drawback is, that you then cannot use the nice photo cards as templates. You will have to fall back on the "Photos" stationary in "Mail"

Can't add WoW game Time with Firefox, what's wrong?

I've tried adding WoW time to my account since last night. The Actual site Battle.net loads as it should, but the instant I click on account management or add game time it takes me to white background with barely click-able links. I put the code in the proper spot, clicked confirm, it asks add game time to wow press continue, but the continue button won't work. I'm confused by the website layout to begin with, never had this happen with Firefox before, please help. I'm running Windows 8 64bit.

I can't log into my fredonia.edu email account with firefox what is wrong

when I put in the email and password it doesn't log in and it the right one.

Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

My iPhone 4s refuses to use certain chargers that work on other iPhone 4s's such as the Mophie Juice Pack Air and when starting up the screen is from time to time covered in white lines that fade with time, what is wrong?

Read the question. This has been on going since I recieved my phone but has gotten worserecently.

With iOS 7.1, Apple has incorporated a means of sensing the cable and charger as to their meeting the Apple specs. That does not mean they prevent use of third-party components, but those components must be fully compliant with Apple's specs. There have been a lot of users asking why they get the device not supported message...rarely is due to anything other than a cable or charger not fully compliant with the specs.
Be sure you are using cables and chargers that comply, and if you get the message, it means there is a problem with the component.

Can't send e-mail with attachments, what's wrong?

This problem seems to be intermittent. Regular e-mails work fine but as soon as I add an attachment the program keeps trying to "connect" but never completes the process.

Make sure that your anti-virus software isn't blocking the uploading of those files.

Can anyone tell me what on earth is wrong with iPhoto

I have been having this issue ever since I bought my new macbook. A Late 2011 13" Macbook Pro with Intel HD 3000 graphics. Please checkout this link below, it is a short video that shows something terribly wrong with iPhoto. I am trying to Edit pictures while all sorts of weirdness is going on with iPhoto. Recently my images are also being coruppted. I have contacted Apple care but have yet to hear from them. Their inital answer was that it seems to be a software issue. My question is that if it is a software issue then why other people are not affected by it. I am running Lion 10.7.3 and this is iPhoto 9.2.2. Everything is upto date on the Mac. If this is a software bug then its very strange its only happening to one machine.

Thanks All in Advance. Hope to get some replies from the iPhoto community.

Try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.

3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
I'm skeptical the above will help since trying iPhoto in a new user account would essentially do the same thing.
If that doesn't help boot into Safe Mode and try iPhoto again. If iPhoto performs correctly in Safe Mode then reboot and try again. If it still is messed up I think there maybe something wrong with some system components..
If iPhoto performs the same in Safe Mode then it's probably hardware related since you've reinstalled the system and iPhoto. Take it to an Apple store and have them look at it.

What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?

What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?
Maybe this is relevant: I bought iphoto from the German apple store but I now live in Italy. I have tried German credit card with German invoicing address and Italian shipping address. And I have tried Italian credit card with Italian invoicing address and Italian shipping address. The phenomenon is the same: shipping address appears in red and I am asked to fill in the mandatory fields (which turn red whatever I enter).

KarinavD,
what is the setting for the Print Products Store in the Advanced Tab of the iPhoto Preferences?
The country you select there has to match the billing address. And your billing address should match the country of your AppleID and credit card used with the AppleID.

Have new iMac with iPhoto sharing turned on. When the shared library is clicked the library disappears or starts to load then disappears? What is wrong?

Have new iMac with iPhoto sharing turned on. When the shared library is clicked the library disappears or starts to load then disappears? What is wrong?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is damaged and needs repair.
Therefore make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) 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.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
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.
If you experience the same problem with the test library then try this basic fix a try: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that fails a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the source it came on originally.

Where are my pictures and what's wrong with iPhoto??

Hello Apple Support Community!
Since I have updated iPhoto a few weeks ago, it didn't work right anymore.
Everytime I started it, I had to repair the whole libary.
Because I was tired of waiting several hours I didn't use it until now.
Today I wanted to update my pictures and sync it with my iPhone but iPhoto tells
me that it may be used by another programm (I don't think so) or can't be read anymore.
I looked up the iPhoto libary and opend it to see if my pics are still there (Information tells me
that the size is about 25GB) but there is no folder called "originals" and there isn't a single picture in it!!
I have no copies of the pictures and I would be very sad if they were lost...
I'm looking foward to receive your support and your ideas!
Sincerely,
Lukas

we actually need details to help
- all taps are grey, so I can't open "about iPhoto" but the app store tells me that iPhoto 9.5.1 is installed
No place did I suggest opening "about iPhoto" what I ask you to do was
look in the Applications folder and select the iPhoto application - get info - what version so you have on your computer?
Looking in the App store is not useful - we know that you have a problem and one possibility is that the App store is confused about what you have so you need to provide the requested information following the directions given
and I have no idea in the wrold what you have done or have - first you say that when you try to rebuild the iPhoto library you get
Ad 3) I already tried to do it but the programm tells me that it will start when a libary is available because there is a time machine backup running (I never activated time machine)
Then you say
- done, but nothing new happened
What does that mean - immediately after restarting when you
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database
what exactly does happen? Are you saying that you get the message that TM is backing up? Or are you saying that the rebuild does not help? Or are you saying something else?
Remember we can not see you or your computer and to help you you need to follow instructions and provide revenant detailed accurate reports to us
- i found a lot of pictures of the face recognition service of iPhoto!

Again you are mucking around inside the iPhoto library - I strongly suggest tha tyou STOP doing this
again it is critical that you stop doing this as I previously said
4 - Stay out of the iPhoto library unless specifically directed by an expert to do things in it - there are no user servicable parts in it and it is extremely easy to make a mistake and deestroy it and lose data

What's Wrong With My Pictures In iPhoto?

I recently unnstalled Kodak Easyshare on my iMac, because I was never going to use it. This was a big mistake, because now when I try to view any of my photos all I get is a triangle telling my that my photos aren't there! I would be okay if this was only a few photos, but I have over 1,000 and none of them are backed up! (They're on my iPod) If I get this fixed I'm definitly backing them up. Please help, Do you think I should just take my iMac into an Apple Store? I really don't want to, I don't want anything to happen to it...

Just run 'xfdekstop' from the run menu or a terminal and save the session when leaving. It should do the trick
I've just upgraded from XFce 4.4 to 4.4.1-1 and after xfdesktop return a "Segmentation Fault". So I've no icons on my desktop and no main menu.
What's wrong? Is it possible to revert packages to previous version?

The games apps in my IPAD2 won't open and i can't even download it says regarding my id...what is wrong with my IPAD

i am having problem with my IPAD2...i can't open the games or the apps i've downloaded here...what is wrong and what shall i do so i can open it again because some of my games here are paid apps...please help me...thanks and GOD bless.

You need to upgrade to 10.10.3 - it's on software update.
That will give you the new Photos.app.
It will also be possible to download the up-to-date version of iPhoto:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
