I keep getting the message iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library but after repairing it it just quits

i keep getting the msg "iphoto has detected inconsistencies in your library, and after it goes thru a lengthy repair process it just quits. it has done this several times, cant get past this it just keeps doing the same thing.

Option 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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download 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. .

Can anyone help me. Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly. When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library. Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."

Can anyone help me. I have iPhoto 9.2 and Mac OS X 10.7.2.
Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly. When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library. Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."
I have read plenty of the posts on the subject and it seems that deleting the "3ivx" fixed the problem. I looked at the detaied reports and see where it says "
Library/Application Support/3ivx" etc..
On my report it says "/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/*/iLMBiPhoto8Plugin". Does this help with an answer?

I am also having this crashing problem. I am running lion on a 2010 mac mini. My iPhoto library is kept on an external drive. I just upgraded to iPhoto 11 and everytime I try to enable photo stream the app crashes. I have tried all the above suggestions, including re-installing iphoto from the Mac App store. Below are the first 50 lines of the error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Iphoto has detected inconsistencies with your library

i have just reloaded my osx 10.8.2 and migrated from my external hard drive... now when i open iphoto i get a message like the "iphoto has detected inconsistencies with your library" can anyone help?

IPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library, multiple iPhoto users

We have a MBAir with OS X 10.8.4.
We are two users of the same computer with 2 different user profiles. Our user profiles, imessage - facetime accounts, even system languages are different.
However, we want to use the same iPhoto library, therefore I've created a diskimage and had both users' iphoto addressed to the same iPhoto library which works. Both users can make changes in the iphoto library and the other user will see the last updated version when he logs in.
...however, we come up with 2 error messages. Not always, but very frequently.
1- "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library.
Please click repair to avoid any potantial problems."
When I received htis error message, I clicked repair for a couple of times, but the error message comes up again and the repair takes very very long time. So I don't click repair button anymore. I don't know what it repairs.
2- "Insufficient disk space, iphoto cannot import your photos... "
This error may appear 1 time and when I click o.k. it just disappears and I can work on iPhoto as I want.
Sometimes, it keeps nagging 3-5 times and then dissappears after clicking O.K. everytime.
And sometimes it keeps appearing endlessly, every time after clicking o.k.
MBA has 512 GB storage where 300 GB is empty, so there is sufficient disk space, that's for sure.
I can imagine that this problem probably occurs because both accounts have its own PhotoStream linked to iPhoto (from mobile devices) ,and both accounts keep importing the Photo stream photos but I'm sure that there should be a fix to it.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could help, it's quite frustrating.

Where is the disk image located? How big is the library as reported by the Finder? Although using a disk image is one of the methods suggested for sharing a library between users on the same Mac, it's been a problem for many. How much free space do you have in the disk image.
I'm thinking this workaround would work better for you: partiton the HD to give a volume just for the library that both user accounts can access. Set it to have enought room for your library to grow. But don't let your boot volume go betlow 10-15 GB free space.
Have that library volume set as shown below and to ignore ownership:
Are both users have their own iCloud account or are they using the same account? I would think it would have to be the same account because a library can only sync to one account. Therefore I don't think the PS syncing would be involved.
Another option would be to use an external HD. Some are as small as a mouse: OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro USB 3.0 & 2.0 / FireWire 800, and 2.5" SATA Portable External Hard Drive & SSD and are powered by the Mac.

IPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library.

Aperture has detected inconsistencies in your library.

After upgrading to Aperture 3.2.1 and after reconnecting most of my files I keep receiving this message "Aperture has detected inconsistencies in your library." upon opening Aperture. Because I had to reconnect all files and I had the projects split out according to different days (project, project 2, project 3, etc), I merged all split out projects each.
Now when I start Aperture, it 'repairs' the datbase, but several previously merged projects are again split.
Any suggestions to repair the repair process is much appreciated

something very strange happened:
after deleting all the sub projects and emptying the Aperture-trash, I quit aperture and restarted the program.
Again the message "Aperture has detected inconsistencies in your library." appeared
repair... and then in the side-bar all previously deleted sub-projects reappeared, but now together with the other 'previously-deleted--sub-projects' and they were visiblie again as empty black boxes in the main viewer window when clicking on the side bar on <Projects>.
Deleting them, emptying trash, quitting Aperture and restarting Aperture gives again the warning followed by repair process
and the previously deleted sub-projects are there again!

Keep getting error message that iphoto has detected inconsistencies and needs to rebuild

while adding photos to library keep getting error message that iphoto has detected inconsistencies and needs to rebuild the library..how do I fix?

By rebuilding your library.
Back up your iPhoto library before you do that.
If iPhoto is open, quit it.
Hold down the Option and Command keys while you open iPhoto (click the iPhoto icon in the Dock).
The Photo Library First Aid window opens.
Click "Rebuild database" and click the "rebuild" button.
If this does not solve the problem, see "option 2" in Terence Devlin's post here:
Re: i keep getting the message iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library but after repairing it it just quits

I keep getting the message MobileMe has been discontinued - iPhoto willmove albums you have published to MobileMe Gallery. . . but I have not knowingly published any photos to MobileMe. How can I get this message to stop. It's getting annoying.
Also, how can I remove duplicate photos in an album without doing it manually?
Thanks!

When the prompt pops up next time you start iPhoto select Learn more. Then click on iPhoto preferences and select the Accounts tab. Delete your MM account and the quit iPhoto. Next time you open iPhoto the problem should be eliminated.

I am running windows 7. My itunes keep shutting down on me. I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working What can I do?

I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working. A problem has caused itunes to stop working correctly. What can be the cause?

Hello Main Event,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article while researching iTunes quitting unexpectedly on Windows 7 and feel it will help to resolve the issue here.
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
It starts with troubleshooting 3rd party plug ins, then moves on to account troubleshooting if needed.
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any inference with plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you see the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the Create a New User Account section below. If you do not experience the same issue, consult iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-insfor steps on how to remove third-party plug-ins.
Take care,
Sterling

In the left-hand column, click on Crash Reporter.
Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
Scroll down to the latest Safari report and click on it.

HT4623 After I downloaded iOS7 and my iPhone turned off I keep getting this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I dont wanna lose some stuff from my iPhone.

After I downloaded iOS7 and my iPhone turned off I keep getting this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I dont wanna lose some stuff from my iPhone.

During a normal install of iOS 7.0.6 this does not happen but something clearly went wrong in your installation.
To fix this, connect to iTunes and restore to Factory. Hopefully your iPad will be working again and you can restore your iCloud backup during Setup.

You are logging in iCloud for the first time. In this case, first you need to log in iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. See > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
If you have not got a device to set iCloud up, you cannot use it. You can only use iCloud on your PC if you have got an Apple device
