Iphoto 09 doesn't load

5 out of 10 when I start iphoto 09, it doesn't load, either it takes a long time to load or freezes, I am so upset about this upgrade. If it aint broke, fix it till it is, I upgraded 09 for faces and faces doesn't work either. Major disappointment!

It's possible that the Faces database is damaged, and you can try start over:
Note You will lose any work you’ve already done with Faces. This is to return to the very beginning.
Quit iPhoto.
Go to your Pictures Folder (or where ever you have your Library) and find the iPhoto Library there.
Right Click on it, and from the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed.
Find the following files:
face_blob.db
face.db
and move them to the trash.
Make no other changes.
Next time you start iPhoto it will need to do the initial scan over again. Let it do so - leave it on overnight if necessary.
See if that helps.

Iphoto doesn't load properly

iPhoto opens but the page does not load. I can hold down the mouse and the page will appear but disapears as soon as I let go of the mouse. As per another post, I went looking for the com.apple.iphoto.plist in the preferences folder and there is one for iPod but not for iPhoto. How do I get iPhoto to load?

Are you sure you're looking in the correct Preferences fodler?
HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences
If iPhoto has ever run on your machine that file will be there.

IPhoto doesn't load after installing iLife '11

I needed to install iDVD off the iLife '11 disk I had, and it seemingly installed a previous version of iPhoto. How can I restore the iPhoto app that came with the MacBookPro?

Thanks - while refreshing the Updates tab I toggled between it and the Purchased tab. Under the Purchased tab it was listed and I could Install again.

TS3355 imovie 11 doesn't load iphoto videos

I have OSX v 10.8.3, imovie 11 v9.0.8 and iphoto 11 v9.4.3 - imovie doesn't load iPhotos into its library. Any suggestions?

It might help to trash the iApps preferences file. See this post and read it carefully for the details.

My iphoto doesn't work, it just keeps loading and never works. what is wrong and how do i get it to load?

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 doesn't recognize my Kodak Z730 any more after three years of up loading into it.

Iphoto doesn't recognize my Kodak Z730 Easyshare cameranow. Been using it for over three years and as of two months ago the Apple doesn't recognize the files. Camera works fine on my step mothers Apple just not on mine. Anyone been through this already? I tried printing to a disk and loading that way. No luck. I think getting one of the auto updates from Apple may have screwed it up. Only thing I can think of. Has to be a way to fix it. ( I hope ! )

Update: I've tried deleting my Iphoto plist but it still doesn't help - any other suggestions?

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

IPhoto doesn't see my photos

I was in middle of editing newly loaded photos, when the computer locked up. I had to shut it off to regain control. Since then iPhoto opens but doesn't see any photos in my libraries. Photos are still there, I can see them in finder and preview, but iPhoto shows zero photos. I have tried renaming library , creating new library, and opening different libraries, but iPhoto doesn't see photos in any of them. Any thoughts on how I can get back to my photos? I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11, and iPhoto 2.0.1.

Have a look at this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2042
It has details on how to rebuild iPhoto Libraries prior to v6 - including v4 and v2.
Of course, the best solution to your issues is to simply restore from your back up.

My iphoto will not load

My iphoto will not load!

No way!
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

Why won't my iphoto open or load the pictures?

I click on my iphoto, but it just loads for forever. I can't actually get the pictures to load.

I recently lost all of my pictures, and now Iphoto will not loading spinning wheel?

I recently accidently erased over 7,000 pictures from Iphoto when I securely deleted them by accident and could not recover them. Now i'm starting from scratch by inserting my sim cards from my cameras to get the photos back, but everytime I click on Iphoto it doesn't load anything just black screen with spinning wheel, i understand i won't have any albums considering all the pictures are gone. I tried tie option command while opening and it didn't work. Do I have to redownload Iphoto totally? If i do can you explain each step in detail? Thank you so much in advance

Create a new Library. The only one was damaged by the mass deletions.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

I may have deleted something and now iPhoto won't load any longer. Please help me

I'm very new with my macbook pro and I have been using iPhoto from day one.
However, I was messing around with the photos, and I deleted neccessary items for iPhoto unknowingly, now my iPhoto doesn't loat at all.
It shows loading logo spinning but never load and screen is blank.
Please help me get back my iPhoto.
Thank you.

Do you have any idea what you deleted?
Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library. If you can then the problem lies with the current library.
If that's the case 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.

New Icloud Terms and Conditions window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months.

'New Icloud Terms and Conditions' window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months. When I click, 'view terms' it takes me to my Icloud section in settings, but the terms don't pop up. I plugged it into my iTunes to see if it would pop up, but that didn't work either. My phone is updated, and I'm pretty sure I already accepted the new terms and conditions on the last update a few months back.

Hi munaxnight,
If you are having issues with your iPhone continuing to ask you to accept terms and conditions, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
