I cannot get iPhoto to open.

I did update my iPhone last week while I was out of town.  I have check all updates on the computer today and rebooted it several times.  iPhoto will not open.
Any suggestions??

BGreg,
It looks like it wants to open, but the screen is blank except for the spinner showing that it is thinking.

    I cannot get iPhoto to open on my Macbook Pro today. I have shut down twice - still no success. Any suggestions?

    Try deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist.
    You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open iPhoto while holding down the command and option/alt keys and rebuild the library.
    iPhoto Library rebuild
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • MacBook pro 2009 is slow and freezing after installing mountain lion. Cannot get iPhoto to open fully, other apps are freezing.

    Help! I thought I was doing the right thing by installing Mountain Lion on my 2009 MacBook Pro. It took forever to download correctly and now it is performing so poorly (freezing during applications, have to use force quit, have to use power button to shut it down, etc.) that I wish I never installed it! I want my old operating system back!

    Boot in safe mode.* This will cause certain caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot than normal.
    When the login screen appears, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.

    I have updated to snow leopard and I cannot get iPhoto to work or find anywhere to download the appropriate  version.  I have 8.1.2 but it will not open.  What do I need to do?

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • Elements 13 - a jpg file always opens in B & W raw and I cannot get it to open in colour. Same file open OK in colour in Elements 9. Any suggestions how I can get it to opens in colour in Elements 13?

    Elements 13 - a jpg file always opens in B & W raw and I cannot get it to open in colour. Same file opens OK in colour in Elements 9. Any suggestions how I can get it to open in colour in Elements 13?

    Thanks for your reply - I just open the file with "Open" in the File menu - all my own jpg files open fine in colour. This is someone else's photo given to me and it does not matter how I open it "Open", "Open in raw" or "Open with ..." it always opens in B & W raw in the raw dialogue box. In Elements 9, which I also have on my PC it opens fine as jpg in colour so I can edit it there, but I am just wondering why I am getting this problem in elements 13. If I open it in any other programme such as Windows Photo viewer or Office 2010 viewer it opens fine in colour.
    Not sure what you mean by "basic settings" menu.
    Thanks for the reply

  • I cannot get Bridge to open - I get the message that "the operation could not be completed"

    I cannot get Bridge to open in my new CS5 Suite - I get the message that "the operation could not be completed."  Photoshop comes up fine, but no Bridge.  I have a MacBook Pro.  Thanks.

    I am having the same issue.
    MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.4
    Photoshop CS5, Bridge CS5
    It will not open, I have reinstalled, cleared the cache, & reset preferences, + installed the patch.
    I do have Bridge CS3 that came with my PS Elements, & that works. Do not have any Norton, or other software running.

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

    I purchased a new imac (4G, OS X 10.6.8) in Feb 2011 and thought my old iPhoto library transferred over. It wasn't. And I can't get iPhoto to open on my old mac. It says, "can't open your current version of iPhoto using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto". I don't think my old mac will support the newer version of iPhoto so I feel like I'm stuck (this is why I got a new mac -- cheaper than upgrading all my software, etc). Help! I really need to get to my old photos, and no, they are not backed up anywhere. Thanks.

    You have two options:
    Run the Library on a machine that has the same version as the machine that was stolen.
    or
    Recover the files from this library and start over from scratch.
    To recover the files:
    Go to your Pictures Folder (or whereever you have the back up) 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.
    Your originals are in the Masters folder.
    Note this will only recover your photos as imported from you camera.

  • I cannot get firefox to open, could security setting interfer? I use AVG

    On Wednesday 9/28 Comcast changed my modem and now I cannot get Firefox to open, when I click my mouse on the icon I get a brief hourglass and that quickly goes away and Firefox doesn't open.

    The extension(s) that AVG installs can certainly be a problem, disable "AVG Safe" for a temporary solution, but it is better to reinstall AVG without the Link Scanner component, and as always be vigilant in rejecting additional crapware, please review all of the following but particularly information concerning "AVG Safe".

    I am trying to get my Foxfire to upload. I cannot get it to open. I have tried to delete it from my computer but the computer insists that foxfire is running. I wanted to try and remove it so that I could reinstall it and see if that fixed the problem.

  • Just loaded cs6 extended.  cannot get bridge to open

    just loaded cs6 extended.  cannot get bridge to open.

    conswan, I would request the MOD's to move this to the bridge forum.
    In the mean time you can try opening Bridge while pressing
    Alt + Ctrl + Shift Key on Windows
    OR
    Cmd + Shift + Ctrl on MAC
    That will reset the preferences for Bridge.
    We would also suggest you to have a look at this thread.
