i-photo wont launch
i have a macbook os 10.6.8

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

    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.

  • IPhoto 11 won't launch and crashes every time I try to rebuild the library. Urgh.

    iPhoto 11 won't launch- it's another case of an infinite skinny wheel. I've tried rebuilding the library numerous times, each time it takes about a day and each time it crashes near the end. This is just ridiculous. Any tips folks?
    APPLE if you can hear me... shouldn't you be testing this stuff prior to release? I know you do but I mean, like REALLY testing it? This is my second iPhoto upgrade disaster. The last time I lost my entire library, had to spend £80 on recovery software that recovered not only most of my photos, but every image cached on my machine. So then I had the fun of sorting through literally thousands of images...
    And I only got the upgrade becasue my iPhone is refusing to sync, freezing on the iPhoto bit. Gah.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Photos won't display

    I recently bought a refurbished 80g iPod classic. Everything appeared to be in working order except that photos won't display when clicked on. When I click on a photo the screen just goes black like the photo won't load. I don't really want to return it and go through all the warranty ordeals so if anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.

    To create and populate a new library:
    *Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.*
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • My photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos",  and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here

    my photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos",  and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here. I need to get it working again because we're about to go on a trip!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    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. .

  • IPhoto won't launch! And yes I've updated everything.

    iPhoto won't work all of a sudden this week. When I try to launch it, the rainbow wheel just hangs there forever, and the grey and white background of iPhoto (minus all the photos) hangs there uselessly behind it.
    It worked just last week!  I tried installing all updates on my Macbook, and it still won't launch.
    It stopped working right after I allowed my Apple tv to update itelf actually.
    Another thing that happened since I allowed my Apple tv and my Macbook to both install all updates is that my music is no longer available through Apple TV, even though I paid the annual fee to have my music available in the cloud at all times.  It just says, "syncing purchased music: your purchased music is curretnly being synced to your Apple TV"...and has said so for a few days now.
    I am guessing there is a problem with the updates somehow?
    I've tried the suggestion I read about in some other threads about holding down the command and option keys while launching iphoto, but still no luck.  Rainbow wheel of death and iPhoto stays on the grey/white blank screen.
    Any advice is appreciated.

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
    Be sure to Hold the option and command keys down until the first aid screen comes up

  • IWeb won't launch

    I need help. iWeb won't launch. Everytime I try to launch it, I get the progress bar and it shows about 50% complete… then does not progress… then temporarily freezes my system… then quits and I get the standard dialog box message asking of I would like to quit, re-try or send a report to Apple. I've tried the re-try option sometimes with luck but not usually and I've sent NUMEROUS reports to Apple. I've read the reposrt and it says something to the affect of crashing on thread 4. HELP, my site is a work in progress and I pdate it frequently.

    I have the same issue. iWeb loads and I open the media browser. As it is cataloging all my movies, it crashes. I believe it does have to do with "corrupt" movie files, and in my case, .avi files created by my Canon camera. When it gets to one, it closes unexpectedly. If I move these files elsewhere, it goes further until it gets to another one before crashing. Same thing with the ones in my iPhoto library. I haven't "cleaned" all of them out of my Movies and Photos folders, but they seem to be the offending files in my case causing iWeb to crash.
    I'm not clear what the 'domain' file has to do with this, though. Mine shows '?????' so it didn't lead to any insight to the "corrupt" files.

  • IDvD 7.0.4 won't launch in 10.4.11

    iDvD 7.0.4 won't launch in 10.4.11.
    I have enough HD space, all SW updates done. Disk utilities...
    When I click the icon, it bounces once then nothing...
    help..
    Lotsa RAM.

    I am having the exact same problem.... I only use it once every 6 months or so to back up photo's by making a DVD slideshow of them.
    I click on the program icon and get nothing, but it shows it as open. I can then go to file and select new or open, and get nothing, then in finder, it will show as (not responding)
    After deleting the pref file as noted above, it acts as if it opens, gives me the splash screen asking what type of project I want to make then nothing.
    I really, really need to figure this out. We made a trip to China and adopted our daughter and DO NOT want to loose these! as well as want to make the slideshow to show family!
    I'm even debating if I should just upgrade to the version of OSX... and iLife if that would even help.
    Any Ideas will be appreciated!

  • Updated iPhoto won't launch..Someone, help please!

    I just downloaded the newest version of iPhoto last night, and for some reason, it won't launch. The icon's there, and it bounces up and down when I click on it, but nothing happens and it won't open.  Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?  Should I just remove it and try downloading again?  I'm afraid doing so might delete my photo library..!   Any suggestions are welcome.  Thanks!

    first: restart your mac.
    (run all the updates)
    second: run repair permisions of your HD
    third: try again

  • Photo won't get started

    photo won't get started after installing the new update (wheel spinning under the get started button)

    Steven:
    Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that is in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    How many iPhoto Library folders do you have in the Pictures folder? if more than one find out which contains your photos and move the other(s) to the Desktop.
    Now launch iPhoto with the Option depressed and, when asked, opt to locate an existing library. Navigate to the iPhoto Library folder remaining in the Pictures folder and select it. It should open.
    Do you Twango?

  • My still photos won't all show in my movie

    My movie has both still images and video.  However, i movie gets stuck on the previous video clip in playback and the sequence of still photos won't appear.  I've not had this problem before.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    What system are you running and what version of iWeb? What happens when you try to launch iWeb?  What do you see?

  • I am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch.

    am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch and leaves a blank white screen box and spinning wheel of death-if I re-install software-will I lose all photos and faces settings? Any ideas-this is a Mac Pro and Xserve school system.
    It seemed to stem from when I was transferring some movie footage from an HD camcorder to iMovie.
    This is a school system and I'm worried I may lose many photos and face recognition data.

    1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
    2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
    FWIW
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
    Alternative approach:
    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. .

    Do you have Photo Stream enabled?
    Then try this fix posted by Terence Devlin:   Re: Cannot open iPhoto after upgrade to Mavericks
    in response to Steven Fisher1 | This solved my question | This solved my question
    Try this solution for user photosb189:
    From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
    Select Library from the drop down menu
    Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
    Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
    Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
    Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
    Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
    Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
    Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
    iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. Unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old).

    I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
    But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
    Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
    The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been  running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.
