Can't open iPhoto - unexpectedly quits
So a few days ago there was an error when I tried to import some pictures into my iPhoto, and ever since then whenever I attempt to open iPhoto I get the "The application iPhoto unexpectedly quit" screen. I searched through these forums and already tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file followed by a restart and permissions repair from Disk Utility, but it didn't work - when I try again to open iPhoto after deleting the file, I still get the same "unexpectedly quit" screen.
Below is the crash log. Any help is much appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Hi TD, thanks for your prompt response.
I created the new account as suggested, and still received the "unexpectedly quit" screen. Below is the new crash report.
So a reinstall of iPhoto is my next step?

IPhoto was open, but "unexpectedly quit". When I opened it again a couple days later, my most recent photo uploads (for the past month or so) were missing, with dated Events folders saying "no photos". This had happened another time about a year ago? What happened, and how do I retrieve my photos? I hadn't backed them up, but do they automatically do so on iCloud?
Assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database. -
i can't open my iPhoto, it was working very slow and now its not working at all, when i try to open it it shows this message: The application “iPhoto” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?
how can i fix this problem?There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -
"iPhoto unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows"
When I try to open iPhoto, it says "iPhoto unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows," then gives me the option of restoring the windows or not. Whatever one I click, iPhoto opens for a second and displays a blank gray screen, then quickly closes and a notification pops up that says "iPhoto closed unexpectedly" and displays the following info. How do I fix this???

As i said above it was a test. It tells us that iPhoto is fine and that the problem is within your main Library.
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 I open iPhoto 7.1.5 library with aperture 3.4.3?
Can I open iPhoto 7.1.5 library with aperture 3.4.3?
Is there any other workaround, such as exporting my iPhoto 7.1.5 library to some other format and then importing such format to Aperture 3.4.3? I will be grateful for any help with this odd situation.
How many photos are you talking about? If you have huge iPhoto Libraries, and have invested much work into organizing and adjusting your photos, you really will want to import your iPhoto library as Library. This way you will transfer your work, not only your photos.
If your library is small, and you do not mind to do all the organisation and adjusting again, you can export your photos from iPhoto 7 - create a folder in your "Pictures" folder and export your photos from iPhoto to this folder, one event at a time as separate folders of image files. You can either export the original images or the edited versions. If you have done much editing, export both, to save your originals. Then import these folders of image files into your Aperture library.
But if you have huge libraries to transfer and many years of editing to preserve, the sensible thing to do would be to invest into iPhoto 9.4.3 and to upgrade your iPhoto libraries to the new unified format. You will not only save your edits and library organisation, you will also save plenty of disk space, for you can import the edited versions and originals as master-version pairs and not have to deal with duplicates.
When did you buy Aperture? Do you have a serial key for Aperture, that can be used with the Aperture Trial version? Then you might consider to reinstall Aperture 3.2.4 from your backup (rename your current Aperture version while you are doing that) or to download the Trial and try to import your iPhoto library into a new Aperture library. Earlier Aperture versions could import older iPhoto libraries, but will import two image files (Version and original) for each iPhoto image. So you will end up with plenty of duplicate images that you will have to organize. (A link to the Trial is here: Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating).
As I said - to invest into iPhoto '11 will have a lot of advantages.

As i was uploading pictures my iPhoto unexpectedly quit, and i lost all the pictures it was uploading, though it didn't upload most of them yet.
I tried it again and the same thing happened
Does anyone know why this is happening? I DO have a lot of photos on it, should that affect it if i still have adaquate memory left on my computer?
Thanks!You shouldn't have to take your iBook in yet. There's a lot we can try first.
And the first thing to do is to make a copy of your iPhoto Library folder (select it and type Command-I). Just a precaution. Next run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions and then manually set the permissions on your iPhoto Library folder as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
<table><tr><td align=left bgcolor="#FFFFCC">he only time I have had this sort of crash is the few times i tried to upload the same pictures.</td></tr></table>
iPhoto may be choking on the duplicate that you're trying to upload or it may be a damaged file. Also do you have any video clips in the camera?
I'd upload all of the files from the camera with Image Capture to a folder on the desktop and then reformat the card with the camera - Menu button and middle list. (Don't let iPhoto do it as there have been to many incomplete uploads and complete erasures.) See if they will import OK from the desktop. If so then take some test pictures with the camera and see if they import OK using your normal method.
For what it's worth, my preferred method of uploading from the camera is to either use a card reader or Image Capture and upload to a folder on the desktop. Name the folder with a descriptive name regarding the shoot. Then import that folder into iPhoto (I just drag it into the open iPhoto window). That will give you a roll titled the same as the folder. This give me a little more assurance that the photos get safely on my HD before I erase the card with the camera. Well, enough soap boxing. Good luck. -
I don't know what has happened but I now can't open iphoto. I get a caution when I try which says the iphoto library is locked! It was working perfectly fine this afternoon until I tried to upload some photos from my camera and my computer started to run very slow and wasn't recognising my camera. I tried to quit iphoto and then when I came back in to it, this was the message I received. As far as I am aware I didn't alter any settings or put on any locks. Please help!!
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 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

Can't open iphoto library needs to be upgraded
can't open iphoto a message window opens and asks to upgrade or quit The message states that photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iphoto
Then you're going to have to upgrade.
Make a back up first, of course. -
What can I do? Every time I download & run "iPhoto Library Upgrader" it fails to "prepare" the my iPhoto Library, so I can't open iPhoto any more.
(My MacOS & iPhoto are the latest versions.)
Ever since my last upgrades, every time I try to open iPhoto, a Alert box pops up saying, "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader", and it gives 2 options: a "Learn More" button or "Quit" (iPhoto) button. The "Learn More" button links to Apple's "iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader" page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037), but whenever I then download and run that page's linked app, the same thing happens all over again.
It does no good to rebuild the iPhoto Library (holding down the command & option keys while reopening iPhoto): the same thing happens.
It does no good to use iPhoto Library Manager (http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/) to rebuild the iPhoto Library, as was suggested elsewhere: the same thing happens.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.

Hello, I upgraded to Yosemite (10.10.2) a month ago and everything was fine. Suddenly I can't open iPhoto. There is no error message and nothing happens when I click it. Thanks for any advice.
Hi Larry,
When I open the Bonusprint software there is a window on the side with 'LIBRARIES' at the top and I can access my photos and albums from here. I can still see all my photos in the various albums etc., underneath and when I click on them they open as thumbnails underneath but iPhoto itself is still paralysed even after I quit the Bonusprint software. -
I downloaded 200 photos, an event folder was created, I could see all the photos and was in the process of editing them when I got a message that iPhoto unexpectedly quit. I cannot find the photos anywhere on my computer now. Is there anything to do?
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 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.

I am getting persistent "iPhoto unexpectedly quit" since last weeks upgrade to Lion 10.7.3?
It is usually preceded by a warning that the library is corrupted and needs to be repaired. I can still see the supposedly bad photos in Aperture without problems. I believe there is a serios bug in iPhoto.
One other clue here is that I attempted to download a new slideshow to my MobileMe Gallery immediately after the upgrade but even though it is still a valid Share option it did not work. After that with a brief exception I got the unexpected quits referrred to above.Have you previously marked Commodo's certificates as untrusted? The following discussion
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17473383#17473383
talked about a similar problem and I just enabled Commodo's root certificate in Keychain Access and now mobileme is working for me again with Aperture. -
IPhoto unexpectedly quitting on BRAND NEW MacBook Pro
I just bought this computer a couple of weeks ago. I used to have a MacBook, and all of a sudden (after 4 years of loyal service) it began having issues. So I bought a new computer a couple of weeks ago. It is the MacBook Pro 13" basic model. It has absolutely no upgrades, thusfar. All I have done is add my wedding photos to iphoto. There are around 2000, all ultrahigh quality. Yesterday iPhoto unexpectedly quit. This has happened a couple of times now, and I am also experiencing lag. I turn the computer off regularly, I don't download anything from anywhere but itunes etc. Why is this happening? Is it simply the amount of photos on my computer? When it quit unexpectedly I was editing my photos(playing with contrast, sepia, etc.). I am getting really frustrated, because these are the same issues that eventually drove me to buy a new apple. With such a big investment (for a college student) I am really upset about this issue. Please help me!?
Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create and use a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the new library crashes try the following: 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.
If the test library works as expected then the problem lies with your current library. In that case
make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup (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.
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.

IPhoto unexpectedly quit during library rebuild
Last night, I did a clean install of OSX on my G4. Once I got all the updates in order, I reinstalled iLife '04 and then put those updates in place as well. I had been having problems with iPhoto previously. So, I decided not to just copy the library over, but rather rebuild it. Well, I have gone through the process twice, and as it is nearing completion (after 3 hours), iPhoto unexpectedly quits. The first time it did this, I could open the "rebuilt" library, but when shutting iPhoto down, it would beachball for over 30 seconds. When I open the original library and close down, it only takes a couple of seconds. Could I be having a problem with the fact that the original is on one drive and I am rebuilding to a different drive? Or is it just that there is something so terribly messed up in the original library that iPhoto is crashing as a result on the rebuild?
I now just trying to get iPhoto to quit crashing. The library is on my main drive now (an external since the internals no longer work).
iPhoto is consistently locking up during slide shows. Has been for the last two weeks. The SD card issue, well, I don't really know just now. I have not tried since the clean install was completed the other night.
I am thinking that there is something terribly wrong to which all of these issues could all be tied. I am just trying to give as much information as possible.
I am not really sure right now what is not necessary that I have tried? When one thing does not solve the problem, trial and error methodology is istituted until a solution is found. I am just hoping there is a suggestion I might have missed.
