Does iPhoto slow with too many photos?

I have approx 2600 4-6 megapixel totaling 4.9GB. Opening iPhoto is slooooooooooowwwwwwwwww and closing sloooooowwwwwwweeeeeerrrrrrrrrr.
Is it the library size? or what? If I archive most will it speed up?
OR
is it a big 10.4.4 update conspiracy to slow down our iLoife '05 apps so we upgrade to '06?

How does one split thier photo library into 1GB chunks?
Not easy… you have to duplicate your library in the Finder (I call them Library A + B).
Then you start iPhoto with the alt key pressed. iPhoto asks you to choose
a library.
You choose A and erase all photos older than (for ex.) 1.1.2004.
Quit iPhoto, restart with alt key, choose B and delete alls photos newer than 1.1.2004.
If you want more smaller libraries start again (with Library C, D, etc.).

HT4236 iPhoto not recognizing iPhone with too many photos.

I recently took a lot of pictures using my iPhone (about 15,000 cos I was doing a time lapse). Now when iPhoto & Image Capture will not recognize my iPhone when I plug it in; the phone still shows up in iTunes.
I hooked up another iPhone onto my Mac and it syncs fine. I also hooked up both phones onto a Windows PC, the other phone is working fine but I am unable to access the photos in the phone with 15,000 photos.
How can I get my photos off the phone?
Thanks in advance.

This is from Mac Help. It is a good idea to create another account to use in troubleshooting situations such as this. After you create the new account, open iDVD from that account. Try creating a small project to see if you are having the same problems. Post back with your results.

Some photos in iPhotos on MacBook Pro show "!" Do I have too many photos?

Some photos in iPhotos on MacBook Pro show "!" There are 7000 photos.
Do I have too many photos and have to delete some?

No.
Have a current backup.
Hold the option command keys and launch iPhoto to launch the First aid.
Start with repairing permissions first and proceed from there.
If you need to be more agressive, try the tried and true:

How many photos are too many photos for iPhoto? When do I need to upgrade to Aperture?

How many photos are too many photos for iPhoto? When do I need to updgrade to Aperture?

Hi Terrence, this is what happens, all too often when I click on something, sometimes it takes me 5 more clicks on the mouse while moving the cursor around to get rid of it. The one below popped up as I clicked on my junk mail.
The next one popped up when I was trying to get on to a site. This happens all the time. Don't know why it is happening. It happens on iPhoto, Aperture, everywhere I go, FaceBook...everywhere and at any time. So frustrating. I don't know if this is normal, but this was happening just before my last mac died a year ago.

There are way too many photos on my internal hard drive. I have older libraries, and newer libraires in iPhoto and Aperture 2. What is the best way to find and reduce the number of duplicate photos/libraries before upgrading to Aperture 3?

Sharon-
Good idea.
Back up first.
I would probably wait for the merge function of the latest version before merging. Be sure to verify every merge.
Merge Libraries, then from within Aperture move images to referenced on external hard drives.

After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong passwords I restored my iPhone and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong password attempts I restored my iPhone via recovery mode and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes, and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

Keyword Search showing too many photos

I have over 22,000 photos and over 300 keywords for them. Sadly I cannot search by keyword since the keyword list only shows the last 146 keywords on the screen (a known bug that, in my case, only shows keywords beginning with p-z) and there is no way to scroll to any keywords before it. I have therefor taken to entering the keywords manual in the "all" field, which worked fine in iPhoto 08, but reveals way too many photos in iPhoto 11. From what I can tell, if there is one photo with that keyword in any given event, it will show me every photo in that event. So, for example, if I want to see "Jane" and there is one photo of Jane in the Hawaii" event, it will show me every photo in the "Hawaii" event.
I have occassioanlly stumbled upon workarounds for this, I think entering a space after the keyword or something, but can't recall any concrete solution that seems to work now. Can anyone help me with this extremely frustrating problem? (And I know about Smart Albums. That won't solve this one.)

Did you ever solve this problem. I have it too and it's driving me crazy.

My ipod touch won't let me download apps, it tells me that I have too many photos and videos but I haven't got any photos or videos at all.

My ipod touch 4g keeps telling me that I have too many photos and videos and will not let me download apps. I have deleted all the photos and videos and some of my old apps but it keeps telling me the same message. I have tried to sync it with the pc and I have turned it on and off and I have reset it but nothing has worked. Please help! Thank you

Go to Setting>General>About. oow much avaialbe storage do you have?
Have you tried resetting the iPOd?
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I have been blocked from my own ITunes songs because my apple ID associated with too many devices

I cannot access songs from my own iTunes Apple ID because it says my iPhone has been associated with too many devices. I have to wait 90 days to access my own songs on my iPhone. Here is what happend:
1-Our family moved. So, with the address change, the credit cards on all of the apple ID's would no longer work because the other users had our old address. (I have 4 users in the family).
2-My family started calling me while I was out of town complaining that purchases were rejected. This was because our address had changed and it no longer matched.
3-I tried to walk them thru the process of changing the home address on the credit card, but they couldn't do it. They assured me that they were doing it correctly and were still rejected.
4-So, being the techie of the family, I simply logged into each of their iTunes accounts from my iPhone while I was out of town and made the address change. While I was in their accounts, I noticed they didn't have automatic downloads and iTunes match and stuff. So, I changed it so it would work for them when they logged back in.
5-I go back to log into my own account on my iphone and I cannot access my own songs on the iTunes cloud for 90 days!!!! This is quite disappointing.
How can I get this corrected? I tried to reset user settings (not a erase and reset). I figure it's not my phone, but my iTunes account thinks I'm doing something sharing-wise.
So, in summary, when I am on my iPhone and I go to my iTunes library and click on a song (that I have paid for) with the cloud and down arrow beside it, it's rejected. It says that I have too many apple id's associated with this device and I must wait 90 days. It counts down each day.
I just want access to the music I paid FOR!!

Thank you-I will contact support.
No, I cannot wait 90 days.
Let me restate what I have to endure, even though I own the music and have paid for iTunes Match:
I cannot access my purchases-zero-at all
I have to listen to never ending McDonald's latte commercials and progressive insurance. I have now banned both of those annoying businesses and will not make purchases there.
In summary, I have given apple my minded, and have zero to show for it.
Ps-you get to hear the McDonald's "love hate commercial" every 2 songs on iTunes Radio. I have substituted the words where I hate McDonald's and love when the commercial is over.

How to slow down too many deliveries of daily return_job?

Does anyone know how to slow down too many deliveries of dail return_job at 00:30?
I'm using following version.
$ /opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-5.02 (built Oct 12 2007; 32bit)
libimta.so 6.3-5.02 (built 17:15:31, Oct 12 2007; 32bit)
SunOS hostname 5.9 Generic_122300-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480RAbout 7,000 delivery notification messages was created by return_job in 1 minute
and then the smarthost could not process these messages and froze.

Thanks, Shane.
So, I want to control the transmission rate to smarthost, especially mails created by return_job.You can throttle back the rate at which Messaging Server attempts to send emails to the smarthost by decreasing the maxjobs setting from 7 to say 2 and increasing the threaddepth to say 32. This will reduce the number of simultaneous active connections and also the rate at which new delivery jobs are created.
http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Threaddepth_Channel_Option
Also since you are using the daemon keyword you may want to try the multiple option (instead of single_sys).
http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Multiple%2C_addrsperfile%2C_single%2C_single_sys_Channel_Options
So these combined give you the following channel definition:

Tablespace with too many extents are evil for performance

I think the tablespace with too many extents are not bad for performance after introduction of LMT tablespace?? May be true with DMT tablespace(earlier versions). This is just observation after reading the LMT vs DMT tablespaces.
Experts - Please comment on your thoughts.

Indeed, I work in an environment where there is over 50 databases to be administered and so we have lots of DBAs interacting with each other.
I'm stunned by this myth of "reorganization". Most of the DBAs move tables + rebuild indexes regularly generating huge redo on a monthly basis. Also provoking indexes to do all the splits again generating even more redo. They claim "it helps performance a lot" however not one is able to quantify and quite justify it other than "less extents less I/O, good". Even when I bring up the existence of shrink they say "do not like it, prefer the classic move". People really have a way of holding on to their good ol' practices of Oracle 8i.
For full table scans (which should never be done on a OLTP scenario) this extent issue would be relevant IF data on the table is the victim of large deles and Oracle hasn't re-used that space yet. If your multiblock reads is a multiple of your extent size, than there won't be any overhead of I/O call, no matter the number of your extents. For OLTP this is not relevant because Oracle will access the table via ROWID.
I rarely have ever seen an index benefit from a rebuild significantly. In my experience what people often understand as "index fragmentation" is often just an unoptimized execution plan due to cardinality issues where oracle ends up fetching a large percentage of the table via single reads on that index.

Your request cannot be completed because your Apple ID has been associated with too many credit cards.what is that mean please tell Apple

Please help me I don't know what is this mean : Your request cannot be completed because your Apple ID has been associated with too many credit cards.
And you tell me what to do?

New one to me, you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

Iphoto does not load into iDVD- too many photos?

Recently upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 and iLife '09. Ever since, iPhoto will not load into iDVD (iphoto 8.0 and iDVD 7.0.3). When trying to open current and new projects in iDVD, the project opens, and plays, but the photos from iPhoto never load, the loading icon just spins on and on. When I open a new document, the same thing happens. Tried trashing preferences in both programs, reinstalling iLife, and reparing permissions. All software updates are current. Still won't work.
I am starting to wonder if it has to do with the number of photos I have in iPhoto, which is about 4000. The photos loaded with no problem until I upgraded. Could it be that the upgrades in iPhoto just make the files too large, and it's too much to expect that many photos to load? Does anyone know how many photos is too many,— or can you suggest anything I have not tired that might work?

Can too many Photos slow down a Mac Pro?

Hi, I have atleast 100,000 photos on my pc, would this many photos slow down a 2.66GHz quad core mac pro with 6 gigs of memory? thanks

I have 60,000. I use non-boot drive of course for data. Some people have huge music and video libraries of 2TB spanning 2-3 drives on stripped RAIDs.
Mac Pro and OS X really likes RAM, and the base for DDR3 8-core is to have 6 DIMMs and I'd go with 6 x 2GB, either Apple or 3rd party RAM, then add 3 x 640GB drives (WD Black Caviar). Stripe two, even if you partition it as 400GB each. http://www.barefeats.com/nehal04.html
And keep the boot drive to OS and applications primarily.
A nice guide:
