i-photo won't launch

If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while launching iPhoto, does it bring up a dialog allowing you to "Create new..." library? If so, cancel and try rebuilding the iPhoto library.
Best of luck.

    What happens when you try?  Also can you launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library?

  • Every time I launch iPhoto 11 i have to enable Photo Stream. It won't stay on.

    After activating iCloud, and setting all my preferences appropriately, iPhoto was actively downloading my Photo Stream into my library.
    But the last few days it stopped. I finally discovered that in my iPhoto preferences the option to enable Photo Stream was no longer clicked. If I click it, it starts pulling from the cloud. If I quit iPhoto, and relaunch it is still enabled and will begin again to pull from the cloud.
    But if I restart my computer or log off, when I launch iPhoto I need to enable Photo Stream again.
    I am on Lion. All software is up-to-date. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a solution?
    Thanks.

    See if the following will let you to keep Photostream on:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Elements 12 organiser and Photo Editor won't launch

    I had to uninstall Elements 12 and then re-install it but now I cannot open Photo Organizer or Photo Editor - PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP.  I find the support for this programme very scarce!!!!

    Hi,
    Yes renaming means renaming to something like newopm.db but this solution might not work for you.
    See there are two issues mentioned above:
    Case 1.Sign in window keeps on appearing again and again
    Case 2.Editor does not load but keeps on churning
    opm.db solution solution is for Case1 and for Case 2 you need to rename SLCache folder @  <<C:\Program Files (x86)(or Program Files for 32 bit machine)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache >> and then try to launch editor
    Thanks,

  • Eudora won't launch when trying to email photos within iphoto

    I use to be able to click on my photos and then on the email icon at the bottom and it would open Eudora with my photos attached. Now it just asks me the size and it starts to resize the photos, but never opens Eudora. I was also having problems with photos appearing as ! so I rebuild my library. Solved the ! problem, but did not solve my Eudora and email problem.

    I FOUND IT. I had gone into the iphoto library and actually changed the name of the photo the first time. I laster found that that did not change the name in iphoto and once I found that I never gave it another thought that I may have messed up the link. iphoto could not find the photos. Once I changed them back I was able to email just fine. This was all my doing.
    Thanks so much for you help!

  • Adobe Elements 13 photo editor won't launch

    apparently this has happened to a lot of people, but I don't see any actual solutions to the issue. 
    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.  Organizer/Editor screen launches, clicking Editor gives striped progress for a few seconds, then stops. 
    Naturally this only happens when I have a deadline to meet.  So irritating.  I can't believe I actually paid money for this product.

    no signIn screen, just wouldn't launch.   It turned out, I think, that the problem was due to an update I had accepted some days previously which failed.   That shouldn't happen either, neither the failure or the bad consequences, but eventually when I rebooted and tried again, the update prompt appeared again and succeeded.   After that Elements began to work correctly again.   In the meantime was a lot of frustration and trying a number of likely but wrong suggestions from the forum.   Not at all impressed by the experience.   I certainly let everyone I know know about it

  • Now operating system for iPad won't let me post photos in Facebook. The sent and upgrade to fix bugs but it freezes in my settings and won't launch

    bug in new operating system for iPad
    fix stalls and freezes in Settings

    You are not speaking to Apple here. We are all users like yourself. we cannot "fix" anything. Please describe which Settings area you are having problems with, what exactly happens and what, if any, error messages you receive.
    one thing that cures ,any system errors is to reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • I have both i hoto and apeture on sidebar. When I try to open apeture the dot appears it bounces but won't open. Only if I transfer a photo from i-photo or my card reader? Any suggestions.

    Apeture software. It won't open from the sidebar where i-photo lies also. Only when importing photos from i-photo, or card reader. Can anyone help with suggestion.

    Hi Iolenslooker,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    It's possible you may need to replace the shortcut to Aperture that is on your Dock. I would suggest first closing both applications.  Then open Finder, and in the Applications folder, double click on the Aperture application.  If the Aperture launches, then you can delete the shortcut from the dock, and create a new one by dragging the Aperture icon from the Applications folder to the dock.  The article below will explain more:
    Mac Basics: The Dock
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2474
    To remove an item from the Dock, drag its icon an inch or more off the Dock and wait a couple seconds, then release; the icon will disappear in a poof of smoke.
    Don't worry, you aren't permanently removing the item from your computer; you simply got rid of its Dock icon. If you want that item back in the Dock, locate the application, file, or folder in the Finder (or with Spotlight), and drag it back into the Dock.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • Photos in library when I open, but won't open in edit?

    When I open iphoto all my photos are there, but when I double click to open into edit they won't open - also when I checked to see if a photo would open from DESKTOP PREFERENCES as DESKTOP PHOTO, photo wouldn't open and lost ability to open any photo (as desktop photo) from library. All photos are definitely in the PICTURES FOLDER in IPHOTO LIBRARY FOLDER. All this started happening yesterday when I was rearranging/trashing/renaming with BRIDGE/PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS?

    F:
    The problem isn't with the iPhoto application it's with the library folder and the contents. The database file has been corruputed so what you are probably facing is creating a new library and importing the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
    Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
    In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto on Mavericks won't open my photos!

    I recently updated to Mavericks from Leopard and I went ahead and purchased the iPhoto App. I had my old iPhoto library copied on my Passport like the Apple guy told me to when I installed the new OS. I then went to open the library and it prompted me to rebuild it...so I downloaded the software and did just that. Now my library shows in iPhoto but when I click on a photo to view it does this
    ANY IDEA WHAT TO DO??? I have 13,000 photos I don't want to lose them because I was told to do the wrong thing

    That means that iPhoto cannot find the original file.
    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 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.

  • Photos Won't Start on iPod Touch [2.0 Firmware]

    I've got a strange issue with my iPod Touch (running 2.0 firmware). It appears that my 'Photos' preinstalled application won't start anymore. Since upgrading to 2.0, I hadn't sync'd any photos to my device and when I launched the app, it would just tell me that I had no photos as expected.
    Recently I was reading an email and 5 photos were attached and I wanted to save them to the iPod, so I clicked Save All. After I clicked the button there was a delay (~1min) and I crashed back to the springboard. I say crashed because I didn't receive an error or confirmation message that the pics had been saved.
    I then attempted to launch Photos and now whenever I do so, a blank list appears and then I crash back to springboard. Not really sure what's going on here and I'm thinking I may have to restore my device.
    Anyone else run into similar behavior?
    -D

    Hmmm.. that's an interesting problem you have. While I originally thought that we might have the same problem, I think we're just showing the same symptoms. I went ahead and pulled the trigger by using the Restore function. Sure enough.. soon as Restoration was complete, I tapped the Photos button and as expected, the "No Gallery" or "No Photos" picture (I forget what exactly it states) was viewable.
    I lost all my data, but everything is still on my local machine so this was a viable option for me.
    I'm not sure if this will help you, but when I used the Restore function, I didn't opt to Make a Backup.. I just sync'd all my content manually after restoration. Maybe try that..

  • Tried to open iPhoto after update to yosemite, won't open/no photos??

    Recent update to Yosemite, iPhoto won't open,,,,,,are all my pictures lost??

    Your pictures are probably not lost, but still safe in your iPhoto Library.
    But the big problem is, that you will need iPhoto 9.6.1 - that is the only compatible version for Yosemite. If you did not purchase this version before yesterday, you cannot purchase it any longer, because Apple stopped selling iPhoto at the App Store.
    Try, if the AppStore will let you update iPhoto from the Updates page of the AppStore, this might be possible, if iPhoto is showing among your Purchases on the Purchased page.
    Otherwise, make a backup of your iPhoto Library and then open it in the new Photos.app. Launch Photos while holding down the alt/optionss key and select your iPhoto Library. This will migrate the iPhoto Library to a Photos library and let you browse your photos.

  • Photos won't show up on viewing screen

    What version of iPhoto? Version 11 9.4.2  What version of the Operating System? 10.7.5.  What were you doing when the problem arose? Trying to view a photo on the viewing page so that I could edit it Did it ever work properly? Yes, in the past I have done the same thing and the photo shows up to edit.  Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. I installed new photos and wanted to do some editing. The photos never show up on the page where I usually edit. I see them in my Photos library, but then they won't transfer to a single image.  If something doesn't work, are there error messages? No error messages What happens when you try to do this thing? As I said, the photo image does not appear. The label is there, but no image. And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. I've looked in the iPhoto help file and also online, but have found no information.

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?

    I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?

    Exactly what did you do?
    The correct steps are
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
    My guess is that that you have not switched iphoto to use the external drive yet - opttion launch and select libary
