Every time I open iPhoto, the program freezes, showing me the spinning rainbow of death. I always need to perform a Force Quit. I have updated my software, but that did not help.

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 <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
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.

I cannot purchase anything on itunes. I updated my itunes but that did not help.
I have had trouble purchasing anything in itunes. I updated my itunes to 11.1.2 but it did not help with the situation at all. Please help.
Without knowing what you mean by "have had trouble purchasing anything in iTunes", we really can't help to troubleshoot the problem. Can you tell us what you mean by that? What error you are getting, or what is preventing you from proceeding with your purchase?

After updating my iphone 4 to iOS6 the screen will periodically fade out to black and will not come back up. I have to shut the phone off and back on 2 or 3 times to get it to come back on. I have done a restore and that did not help. any ideas? is this happening to anyone else?
did you restore from backup or as a new device? Restore as a new device. Before you add any apps to it, use the phone with just the iOS-installed apps. If it's fine, slowly add a few purchased apps back at a time. Do this until the offending app is found.

I can not open itunes on my computer. It started when an upgrade appeared. Now I get a message that states This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I tried to reinsall the application but it did not help. I also get a message iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes Error 7 (Windows error 126) Please Help me!
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

It just started today....but I can't get in to either Firefox or Thunderbird. Says my profile is missing or lost. That is the total message. I did not know I had a profile or do I know how to look for it. It is odd both apps failed at the same time.
Thanks
BobI'm sorry you're expierencing this problem. Open the Profile Manager by following the directions in the article, [[Managing profiles]]. If a profile shows up, select it and hit start Firefox.
If no profiles show up, you need to follow the direction on the same article to set up a new profile. Although, I am not sure if it is possible to recover your old profile. -
hi i am having difficulty with my iphone 4s it has been on charge for a number of hours but is just flashing the apple logo continuously i have tried to reset but nothing seems to work can anyone help me please
What is a hard reset? There is nothing in any of Apple's documentation that refers to a hard reset.
There's a reset, a restart, and a restore.
Please explain EXACTLY what you did. -
My problem is that when using face time either I can hear the person and they cannot hear me or they can hear me and I cannot hear them. Is there something I need to do in the controls to take care of this issue? Thank you for your response.

Since you sometimes can hear, and sometimes can be heard, your iPad is probably working OK.
But what about the other parties? Is it always the same prson who can not hear you? Is it always the same (but different) person you can not hear? In other words, the problems could be at the other end.
You and your friends might try the Skype App. Once registered, you can access Skype's test server to check your audio. It lets you speak for several seconds, and then plays it back.

Hi, I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks
Hello Lor100,
In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

Photos in trash can not be viewed. I have rebuilt the library but that did not help.
I need to retrieve a photo that went into Aperture trash, but no images appear in trash, though it says it has 13 versions filed there. I rebuilt the library as per trouble shooting instructions, but still no go. The rest of Apperture seems to be working fine. Any suggestions?
Have you any filters set? Check the search fields. They should be showing "Show all" or "All items".
If you are seeing "Unrated or better", rejected images will not be shown. -
Helped needed with iPad!
Try a soft reset by holding down the home and sleep buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release both buttons.

I can receive e-mails but I can't open them. I tried turning the wi-fi on and off but that did not help. Has anyone had a similar problem?
Try to reset your iPad, pressed the On/Off button and the Homebutton at the same time till you see the Apple logo in the screen.

Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message: "A photo has been found in the Iphoto library that was not imported. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Quit iPhoto and to to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) - right click (control click) on it and select show package contents - find the folder named import (on importing) and drag it to the desktop - DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES - launch iPhoto and you will be fine.
Open the import(ing) folder and if there is nothing in it that you need move it to the trash and empty the trash

I have the top of the range MacBook Pro (but not the latest one with the Retina display). Yet every time I open iPhoto it grinds to a halt with iPhoto crashing 1 out of every 4 times I open it. Is this normal? And if not how can I fix it? I have 55k photo's.
No it's not normal. What version of iPhoto? Post the first 50 lines only of the crash report

Every time I open iPhoto the dialogue box requiring me to do something before I can use iPhoto, how do I get rid of it?
Click on the More Info button and ignore the web page, go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the MobileMe account. Next to go the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe. That will stop those messages.
