Cure for iphoto and sleep problem?

If iPhoto is running, my mac will not sleep properly. true for iPhoto 4 and 5 on imac DV SE and iPhoto 5 on mac mini. Many are experiencing this. I have searched for an answer here to no avail. Is there a resolution to this problem?

Fortunately, Google Chrome crashes in exactly the same way, and the geniuses at Google have devised a solution that does not require reinstalling the entire operating system. The same steps that they recommend also work for fixing iPhoto.
Be sure that you are logged in as a user with administrative privileges (System Preferences → Users & Groups → Current User → ☑ Allow user to administer this computer).
Launch the Terminal application.
Inside the Terminal, run sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force
When prompted, enter your password.
After the command completes (in about a minute), restart the computer.

Did an update for iphoto and now it won't open

I just did a recent update for iphoto and now it just freezes and won't open.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Satellite L505D-S5965 got shutdown, hibernate and sleep problem after Windows 7 upgrade

I bought my Satellite L505D-S5965 last August. Everything worked fine on Vista. Last month I upgraded it to Windows 7 (Home premium, build 7600), then it started having problem to shutdown, hibernate and sleep. Half of the time, it will shutdown, hibernate or sleep just fine, however, the other half of the time it just never turns off.
For shutdown, it will go to the shutdown screen for 10 minutes until the a blue screen comes up, telling something about windows experience a crash and dumping memory, then it restarts itself.
For hibernation and sleep, it will go to the normal black screen but the hard disk light never turns off (i.e. the hardisk would keep running forever).
It will be a big help if someone can help me with that, I just don't want to keep doing the "hard turn off".

Hey thats great posting and detailed, thank you! :)
Im wondering how you found it out.
But I want to add something: Before you do or change something in Windows registry, make a backup of it. In worst case you restore the old Windows registry. Just to be sure ;)

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion 10.7.2) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard 10.6.8) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Yes. For those two applications specifically there is sharing. This presumes both computers are on and connected to the same network.
In iPhoto, enable sharing by (on the iMac) going to the iPhoto menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my photos. You can either share the entire library or only selected albums. Now on your MacBook Air, in iPhoto, go to the same preference pane and select Look for shared photos.
iTunes has something similar. In the iTunes menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my library on my local network. On the other computer, look in the left column for SHARED and select the iMac. You can now play that music on the MacBook Air.
There are other ways to share files but for those two applications this is the simplest way.
Best of luck.

I cannot afford an iMac, can anyone recommend a widescreen Monitor for my 15" MacBook Pro. It would be used mainly for iPhoto and Aperture.

Pair a wireless KB with the laptop and all should be well when you attach the laptop to the iMac and invoke TDM. But as Denny mentions, it does seem like the waste of a good iMac to use it in just this configuration. Why is the laptop primary?

Software update in mountain lion offers updates for iPhoto and iMovie that will not install

Updated my iMac 2011 to Mountain Lion. Software Update now operates through the App Store. Third Party apps are OK but Apple's native Mac apps eg iPhoto, iMovie offer updates for installation that do not install.
Get this error eg for iMovie but similar for iPhoto and maybe others:
"We could not complete your update. iMovie is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
If you do as suggested, it reloads App Store software update and goes round again...
If I go to "Check for updates" in the iMovie menu it tells me it's the current version.
"This version of iMovie (9.0.8) is the current version."
The badge showing the count of apps requrining an update is also wrong.

Hi, just wondering, were any of Apple's Apps moved from there default location?

Different apple id shows for updates on mac for iPhoto and iMovie

Hi, on my Mac there are two updates available for iPhoto and iMovie however the update requires me to use my old apple ID which I no longer use. I have checked iTunes, iCloud and the App store and my current apple ID is used for all of them. I don't understand why my old apple ID keeps showing up, I can't sign out of it because it doesn't give me that option.
I'm really confused, please help me out!!!

Those applications have the old Apple ID stored inside them. It can't be changed without deleting them and then redownloading them from the desired Apple ID; in the case of preloaded applications, you may also need to contact Apple. This can be done by going to the Mac App Store main page and clicking on Support under Quick Links.

Available updates for iphoto and imovie on apple store.

My apple informs me that I have available updates for iphoto and imovie, however when I try to update them I receive a message that i can't do this because I do not have the major version. How to proceed?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open Finder and go to the folder where these applications are. Then, move them to Applications folder. Finally, open the App Store and update them to the most recent version. If it doesn't work, see if they are hidden, and if they are hidden, unhide them > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4928

I've already paid for iPhoto but i got a new hard drive put in my computer so do i have to pay for iPhoto and iMovie again?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course not. You already purchased iPhoto and iMovie, so you can reinstall them for free.
If you purchased them from the Mac App Store or you got your Mac after July 2011, open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and redownload them. Note that the latest iPhoto and iMovie need OS X Mavericks.
If you purchased them in a DVD, insert the DVD and install them. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest version.
If you got your Mac before July 2011, use the Applications Install Disc to install iPhoto and iMovie.

HT4710 Updates for iPhoto and iMovie in the Mac App Store

Hi,
I recently bought a new computer running Lion. When I started using the computer, I opened the Mac App Store and signed in with my Apple ID (the same one I've always used for buying apps from there, music from the iTunes store, and apps for my iPhone). I am able to easily access and download my old purchased apps to my new computer without a problem. However, in the updates section it shows updates available for both iPhoto and iMovie, but when I go to update them I get this message, "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." iPhoto and iMovie came on the new computer, and the only Apple ID account that I have ever used is the one that I am currently signed in under. Does anyone have any idea how I can get these updates, or at the very minimum, get rid of them so that they do not show up anymore (frankly, I find the red circle very annoying, and I don't really use either of these apps so I'm not too concerned about them).
Thanks!
Sorry, I found a few other questions about this same thing after posting, so I'll try those solutions.

Open iTunes on the new Mac, sign into your account and view your account information. There is a section for Purchase History where you can view the invoices for everything that you have ever bought from the iTunes stores and the Mac App Store.

Bluetooth Not Available and Sleep Problem

Please could somebody offer some suggestions for my problem.
I have a similar problem to some posts on this forum. My bluetooth status becomes "not available" after differing amounts of time.
I do not think it is linked with USB devices because it has happened without connecting devices. When this has happened and I close the lid, it turns off the screen but the white on the front stays solid (does not flash). After that, I cannot wake my macbook and have to hold the power to reset.
When it has restarted the bluetooth and sleep work perfectly.
Thanks in advance,
H

G700 Windows 8.1 Fastboot and sleep problem

Hello!
I have problem with Windows 8.1 and Lenovo G700:
1) Fastboot option not working properly...
2) System can't go sleep
I was looking for solution for this problems and found.... I have to disable all network interfaces in G700
(LAN and WLAN with Bluetooth) then fastboot and sleep options working fine.
I have a question about compatibility G700 and Windows 8.1?

I can't help with the SecureBoot issue. I have the same problem with my videocard not being SecureBoot compatible (A GTX 670). The sleep issue though, is it an issue with like... you can only hibernate, but you can't sleep? Windows 8 didn't come with that for me, but I found a work around.
Open a command prompt with administrator privilege and type: powercfg /hibernate off
This should change the hibernate to sleep.
If you want an icon for it just make a batch file: rundll32 powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState (0,1,0)
And if you need a timer on it (I use this pretty often myself) use this: powershell sleep <seconds> | rundll32 powrprof.dll SetSuspendState (0,1,0)
And if you're curious about the (0,1,0) thing. It's all boolean, so 1 or 0. (A,B,C), A: Hibernate, B: Critical (in XP/2003 it forces the sleep, but in newer versions it asks for permission to suspend), C: Disable wake event (Wake on LAN would be disabled if this were 1, for example).

External hard drive for iPhotos and itunes

I want to move my iPhotos and iTunes libraries to an external hard drive. What are the best external hard drives for a
1. iMac running OSX Yosemite version 10.10.1
2. MacBook Air (I actually want to store my iPhotos library stored currently on my old macbook pro to an external drive but access the library with my new MacBook Air.

My personal preference for EHDs are these: OWC Mercury Elite Pro. I have 6 of them and have no problems with any of them. Be sure to format any drive you get to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored.
To copy the iPhoto library to the EHD just drag the iPhoto Library package from your Pictures folder to the EHD. When the copying is completed launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the EHD library to open it. Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is good and working as expected you can delete the library from your Pictures folder.
Ask in the iTunes forum on how to move the iTunes library.

"Chirping" Noise and Sleep problem

My 1st gen IMac G5 has been making some "chirping noises"for the last six months. They seem to be coming from the lower left quadrant of the monitor. They really get busy when the computer is starting up from being shut down. I am hoping this isn't a hard drive issue, as I have already had one replaced after a failure.
I also have a problem with putting the computer to sleep. I usually have to sleep it twice for it to stay asleep. Then when I check it again the next day, sometimes it is awake. It wakes up to my login screen and I have no screen saver for that one.
I would appreciate any input regarding these issues.
Thanks, Bob Bullock
1st Gen 1.8g, 20" IMac G5, 160gb Mac OS X (10.4.8)

To Apple Discussions!
I have no idea what could be causing the "chirping" sound as you are starting up from a shutdown unless there is a cricket inside your computer that doesn't like cold bootups.
Since you mentioned a previous HD issue, see if you qualify for the iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues
**WARNING: DUE TO SECURITY REASONS, PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR COMPUTER'S SERIAL NUMBER ON THESE MESSAGE BOARDS.**
Regarding your sleep issue, see Knowledge Base Article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341 How to reset the SMU on a Power Mac G5 (Late 2004) or Power Mac G5 (Late 2005)
Good luck!

How to change the Apple ID for iPhotos and iMovies(The first ID used in the mac book)?

I found that every time when I want to update the iphotos and imovies and the native apps in the mac book it is needed to use the first apple id that used for the first time you turn on the mac book.
Since that id is not used now and i want to change it, any body knows how to change it?
And although my current admin id has changed, but still when updating iphotos the very first id is needed...

Correct. Apps are Tied to the Apple ID that Purchased them...
From Here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
