How can I get iphoto to work again in my main admin account?

iphoto does not work in my main account. it works in other accounts but it just hangs when launched on my admin account. I have tried rebuild and deleted com.apple.iphoto.plist still no luck. it is iphoto 11
thanks

Do not import one iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - the correct thing is to drag a working iPhoto library to the pictures folder (default location) and launch iPhoto - it will open and convert the library as needed
Not sure what your comment about dragging an iPhoto library on means but if  you dragged it onto the iPhoto icon or the iphoto window you are importing and will have to let it finish and then start over
As noted back please post back for more information

    Have you synced with a computer while the passcode was enabled? If so, connect & launch iTunes. You should then be prompted to enter the passcode.

    Just to clarify, it only works when the phone is plugged in and charging. What happens when you try to activate it? Is there any error message?

    The number of pictures/videos on the device is irrelevant.  If there is not available space on the device, there is no way to take pictures.  Pictures, videos, music, iBooks, and any other media share the same space.
    Might be a good idea to manage the content on the device going forward so that there is always space available.
    Try not to fall into the misconception that many others experience, believing that the iPhone is a storage device, it simply is not.  Instead it is intended to be a mirror of the content on the computer.

  • I'm getting "Unknown Error 6" when trying to upgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.  The phone is then stuck on the red iTunes logo + USB screen.  How can I get the phone working again?

    I've tried upgrading my iPhone 4S using iTunes 12.01.26 on 4 different computers at home and at the office:
    Macbook Air - OS X version 10.7.5
    Macbook Pro - OS X Yosemite
    2 PCs running Windows 7 Professional
    iTunes downloaded the installer and the installation process seemed to get 90% complete before showing the error, "The iPhone, "iPhone" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (6)."
    The phone is now stuck on the red iTunes logo screen:
    How can I get it out of this mode?
    I've tried holding the power button and home buttons down for ten seconds, then letting go of the power button, but keeping the home button down for another 10 seconds.  I've also tried Reiboot, Wondershare Dr. Fone in desperation to try to get the phone out of this mode.  Nothing seems to fix it.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

    i do that but it keeps getting stuck on the 'preparing to restore i phone' screen for a few mins before coming up with 'unknown error 1603'.
    Just doublechecking. Have you worked through the 1603-specific instructions from the following document?

  • How can I get my email working again?

    My Comcast email stopped working when I changed my password.  Now I cannot send or receive.  I deleted the account and added it back--no change.  I rebooted and did the delete/add new account again, but I still have no working email.  The old emails were also gone after I deleted the account.  What can I do to get my email working again?

    Nevermind.  After a frustrating few hours, I went to bed.  This morning when I checked, I had email.  The old emails never returned, but the new ones are coming through.  I wonder why it took so long.

  • How can i get iPhoto to work? It locks up after I launch it every time single time.t

    iPhoto has gone nuts!! it will not work and keeps locking up. Open the program and within a few seconds i get the spinning wheel of death. i have tried the basic fixes, the ones you get with you hold down command and options at launch, like rebuild library ect.
    What can i do?? I have several thousand photos here and i do have a time machine backup.

    Correct, the plists don't work in Mavericks the way they used to. Good news is, we've isolated it to that specific library. You said you already went through the rebuilds, lets try to do them again, but one at a time in a specific order.
    1) Repair Permissions
    2) Repair Database
    3) Rebuild Database
    If that still doesn't work, try running these steps from TS4040:
    1) Run Software Update and install all updates (including the OS X Lion v10.7.4 Update, or later) until it reports "Your Software is Up To Date."
    2) Open the Get Info inspector for the account's Home folder:
    In Finder, select Go > Home or press Shift Command H (⇧⌘H).
    In Finder, select File > Get Info or press Command I (⌘I).
    3) If needed, click the disclosure triangle to expand the "Sharing & Permissions:" section of the Get Info window.
    4) If needed, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the Get Info window.
    When prompted, enter an admin user name and password, then click OK.
    5) From the Action menu (the cogwheel) at the bottom of the Get Info window, choose "Apply to enclosed items…"
    6) Click OK in the confirmation sheet.
    7) Wait for the process to complete.
    If we're not able to access the library afterwards, I have a solution that should work, but would remove any albums, books, etc... etc... etc... that you had created in iPhoto and leave you with just your photos and events, so I'm trying to avoid that as much as possible. Let me know what happens.

  • How can I get ThinkVantage button working again? (after a full HD rebuild)

    WindowsXP Pro, ThinkPad T60   (2007-F4G / UT0F4UK)
    Hi
    How do I get my Thinkvantage button working again?
    Background:
    I had a virus attack and as a precaution I zero-ed my ENTIRE hard disk (using KillDisk). I have managed to re-install most things, including I now have an icon on the taskbar called "Launch Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox". However I would prefer it to be fired up by my pressing the (blue) ThinkVantage button at the top of my keyboard.
    I have refused point blank to pay the (outrageous) price of GBP 40.00 for Lenovo to send me a CD with Windows etc on it, but have managed (eventually) to rebuild the entire disk driver by driver until the ThinkVantage Toolbox thing (version 6.0.5449.31) could take over and bring my drivers up to date when I Update my system.
    (It's just that they may have gone in incorrectly??)
    Is there something I should have done during installation.
    Ship

    Hi Ship,
    1. Install these for thinkvantage button:-

  • My MBP does not boot in the operating system. How can I get it to work again?

    I've tried rebooting from the OS DVD but it does not do anything. Now, I can't even get the DVD out to try the MBP install disks. Is there anyway to get this working again?

    If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you can not natively through your iPad.  BUT, there are apps you can purchase in the App Store, like Print Central ($9), which is what I use myself and works well for my needs.

  • My iphone just was updated yesterday and now my calendars won't synch, how can I get this to work again?

    I just updated my iphone4g and now when synching my calendars will not update. How can I fix this?

    System restore can do that, I recommend to avoid using system restore, it can create problems as well as solve them.

  • How can I get iPhoto to work with Lion? It comes up with an error about not working with this version of MAC os.omes up with an error

    Iphoto was working fine until I downloaded and installed LION. Now I get  a problem message to check that iphoto is compatible with this version of MAC OS X.
    I always download software updates.

    Have put iphoto into trash and tried to re-install it from cd, but although it is there on the list when I try to install, it is not in bold and does not permit me to tick it.
    I have been to the app store and it tells me that iphoto is on my computer.

  • TS3048 I am usng a bluetooth keyboard with my Mac and some of the keys are not working.  They are the numbers 1 through  9.  I have gone through the troubleshooting for mouse and keyboard and everything looks good. How can I get them to work again?

    Hi,  I am using a Mac computer that my husband set up.  I have worked on it recently with no problems.  Today, I am having problems with the bluetooth keyboard not  working properly.  The numbers 1 through 9 do not work.  I have gone through troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues and everything looks good.  Except, when I check the keys on the keyboard viewer, these keys still do not work.  The webpage guides me through and at this point I do not know what to do next, because the keyboard is still not working properly.  I sure hope there are some experienced people in the community to help me.  What should I do?

    Hi:
    I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
    I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again.  The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair.  If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected.  If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin. 
    Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables.  I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger.  I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
    I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one.  If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
    I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense).  I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items.  When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens.  The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info."  At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section.  You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad. 
    After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
    If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options).  Me being me, I try never to erase anything.

  • I fully downloaded an audiobook on my iPad and it started working fine but then it stopped reading my book. How can I get it to work again?

    I downloaded an audiobook and it started working but then it stopped. Is there anyway I can redownload my audiobook so that it starts working completely?

    This is a ridiculous policy and it interferes with how most people would listen to an audio book since they are quite lengthy. I'm traveling, so I throw the audio book on using my iPad and I get 60% of the way through the book on my trip. I come home, I want to listen to the rest of it via iTunes on my stereo through AirPlay. And this can't be done?
    This is the last audiobook I buy from iTunes until they *fix* this... and it IS something that requires fixing whether that means negotiating more aggressively with the audiobook providers or changing something at the software layer. It completely ruins many peoples' experience!
    It's funny because a friend of mine suggested buying it, then downloading it from a torrent just so I could use the book the way I wanted to use the book. Is it not sad that to create a positive overall user experience you have to resort to downloading something off a torrent?
    iTunes is supposed to make things easy and accessible. I agree with jamusick's posting -- this isn't the vision Steven Jobs had for the future. This is a road block on the way there.

  • How do I get iPhoto to work again?

    It has crashed a couple of times.  I lost my photos.  I had to rebuild from my carbonite account.  But I can't manipulate my photos without I photo.  It tells me that my I photo library is outdated and needs to be upgraded.  But when I attempt to upgrade it does not work.  Any suggestions?

    If your iPhoto icon is blue, you probably have iPhoto 9.5.1 and your current system is MacOS 10.9.x.
    Does it look like this?
    Try this fix posted by Terence Devlin:
    Re: I have an aperture file I can't. When I try it say to open in Iphoto to update. When I try to open in iPhoto won't open because it say the file is open in 'null'. It say I need to close null. What is null? and how do I close it ?
    User Elijahg figured this one out
    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.
    Note the file there called iPhotoLock.data  - Delete it.
    Then inside the Database folder find another folder called apdb
    Note file there called lockfile.pid - Delete it.
    Make no other changes
    Now try launch iPhoto.
    -- Léonie
    Aand if that does not help, delete these lockfiles:
    Delete the following two preference files from your Home/Library/Preferences folder:
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    com.apple.iApps.lockfile
