Everytime I open iPhoto it is stuck on a buffer symbol.
This has been the same for over a week. Would prefer not to have to go into a genius bar. I just want to import some photos and look at them on my computer. This has never happened before. I have had a macbook pro for a good 3 years and it has given me no problems at all until now. I have restarted the computer. Added software updates. Please help. Thank you.
Mac OS X. Version 10.6.8.
With backup you ll nt onlyh lose your photos but everything on yoru computer - sooner or later things will fail and with no backup you lose everything
if you want to start over simply drag your iPhoto library to the trash and launch iPhoto createing a new one - your problem is not the software - it is the database and my previous instructions were to fix it but you certainly can just start over too if you choose to

Everytime I open iphoto, my computer tells me, A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported. Would you like to import it. If I import it, a message comes up Unreadable file, the following file could not be imported. them it tells me where the file is and it cannot be opened. If I do not import, then it says,The photo has been placed in the folder /Users/patrick*******/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_4. It will just keep adding to recvovered photos. This drives me crazy!!!!!!! How do I fix this?
I had this problem some months ago and the following solution from Terrence Delvin put things right:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.
However, since connecting a memory stick to my computer, I now have the same problem again. This time there is no folder called 'Import' or 'Importing' so what should I do? -
Everytime I open iPhoto on my iMac it "quits unexpectedly" after about 8 seconds. Even if I switch users and open my daughter's iPhoto, it does the samething. It just started happening today, and I did sync photos from her iPad to the Imac.

1. From your preferences directory drag com.apple.iPhoto.plist to your desktop and loaunch iphoto to see if it fixes your problem. I'm a little leary of doing this since all your iphoto preferences will be recreated from scratch. So if this experiment doesn't work replace the recreated one in Preferences with the old original one you dragged on to your desktop.
2. Boot in safe mode. Play with iphoto a little bit to see if it fails. Whether it fails or not reboot normally. Safe mode will suppress all third party additions, your login items, as well as doing a little bit of cleaning (e.g., some caches). So it will be interesting to know if iphoto runs in safe mode and then after rebooting normally. -
How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
ThanksOption 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.

Every time I open iPhoto the library strip to the left shows up for seconds then disappears. I would like to restore it to stay. How do I do that?
If you're not in the full screen mode then try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox. -
What is the answer to this dilemma?
Hi Bruce,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens. -
Iphoto freezes when I open iPhoto preferences
Everytime I open iPhoto and then go to preferences, I get the rainbow wheel and the whole program freezes. I end up having to force quit. I don't know how to get around this as I've rebooted my iMac numerous times and it makes no difference. Am I doomed to never get into preferences?
I figured out what works for me.
Go to System Preferences>MobileMe>iDisk and if you have turned iDisk Syncing on, turn it off.
Go to System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync and stop all syncing.
Go to System Preferences>MobileMe and click 'Sign Out'. Remove your username and password.
If this fails, go to (user)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and remove all files beginning with com.apple.DotMac and com.apple.idisk, then reboot.
I ended up doing both. Going to Library and erasing all the files. As soon as I did that and rebooted, I could go right into iPhoto preferences.
If you can't find your Library folder. Then go to the top of the screen and click on Go in the menu bar
-if you don't see Library there then hold down the Option button when you click on Go and you will see Library pop up. While holding the Option key down, scroll to Library and click on it.
Hope this helps you. -
Photos not imported message after opening iPhoto 08
Has anyone ever experienced following Problem:
Everytime I open iPhoto it appears this error message: "9 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them?". If I choose yes, iPhoto shuts down after a short while. If I choose no, it works, but everytime I do so, one foto is added to the fotos left to import.
How do I get rid of this fotos?alterkram
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right click on it and choose 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window opens with your library inside. You should see a folder there called 'Importing' or perhaps 'Last Import' (NOT Auto Import). In side will be the offending files. Drag that folder to the desktop and launch iPhoto. Does it work normally?

IPhoto Crashes everytime I open it
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me out here?
iPhoto '11 (Latest update) keeps on crashing everytime I open the program, so I have to force quit it. This issue arose a few weeks ago even before any Apple iLife updates.
I initially thought the crashing issue was related to the MobileMe and Facebook syncing part of iLife, because when it crashes as soon as I open iPhoto and I disconnect my MBP from any network connection (wired or wireless) iPhoto started up ok. When I discovered this I deleted ALL sharing connections in iPhoto so that it shouldn't need to access any of my online profiles (MobileMe, Facebook etc) apart from the location/maps part of iPhoto. This hasn't fixed the issue.
I have done a complete reinstall, updated iPhoto to the latest release and started my iPhoto library database again from scratch. I added some photos from my gig last night and it is the only album in my iPhoto library. Now everytime I start up iPhoto it's crashing again everytime, and the only way I can get it to start is to 'repair and rebuild' the iPhoto database EVERYTIME to get it to work. This takes the biscuit considering that my iPhoto library is brand new and only has 62 photos in it.....
I've also tried other things such as repairing disk permissions, and database permissions when I open iPhoto.
I don't know what else to to do now, it's really disappionting becasue I can't share my photos and I can't even extract then from the iPhoto database. Whats going on Apple??
I refuse to reinstall OSX because it was only reinstalled and updated in the last 7 days.....
Does anyone have any light they could shine on this issue or is anyone else suffering from this fustrating problem?
Thanks guys,
ConnorLooks like i have a similar problem to this except I am running OSX10.7.4 and it was working up until I had the latest software update. Still awaiting a reply to my question. This is my second try at this forum. Hopefully I will have more success the second time around.

iPhoto needs to be upgraded everytime I open it. Then it finds consistences. Then it repairs the database.
I have also rebuilt the database many times useing command + alt.
Now it shows every event three times. If I delete one version of that event, it deletes them all.
Then next time I open iPhoto it needs updateing and repairing again
I have used disk utility to repair permissionsDownload 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. -
IPhoto keeps asking me to import 2 lost photos everytime I open it
iPhoto keeps asking me to import 2 lost photos everytime I open it,
allowing me to choose yes/no, yes - save to a new recovery, no - save in a flie directory
and in which the two photos are gone ages ago,
it's causing me so much troubles.
What can I do?quit iPhoto and go to your iPhoto library and right click (control click) on it and select "show package contents" - look through it and find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - make NO other changes of any sort
Close that and launch iPhoto - you will be fine - you can then trash the import(ing) folder form the desktop (or open it to be sure it has no photos you want in it)

Everytime I open my slide show on my iphoto, it quits unexpectedly.
In outlook (for windows) go to tools-account settings-(select account)-more settings-go to "advanced" tab and select "leave a copy of messages on the server". That should do it.
If you have outlook for mac do the following: tools-accounts-(choose account)-advanced-server tab-select "leave a copy of each message in the server"
Hope this will help you -
Strange problem, everytime i open my laptop iphoto opens.
So everytime i open my laptop iphoto opens, which is frustrating because it takes extra time for me to jump on my laptop and do what i need to do. I think it has something to do with when i added aperture i wasn't crazy about it and switched back to iphoto being my default photo program. Maybe i did something without realizing it that made iphoto open up every time i turned on my computer. Help me solve my annoying problem!
Some things to check:
1. Right (or Control-) click on the iPhoto icon on the Dock. Is Open at Login selected?
2. Check your SystemPreferences -> Accounts -> Login Items. Has iPhoto been added?
3. Do you have any FAT formatted devices attached to the Mac? Printes with Card Readers? Anything that the computer may think is a Camera?
it takes extra time for me to jump on my laptop and do what i need to do.
I strongly caution you that jumping on your computer may invalidate the guarantee.
