IPhoto'11 (9.1.5) hangs; needs a restart of iMac
After launching iPhoto and using it for a few days, when I go to launch it again it hangs. (SBPD permanently). Force quitting has no effect. No error messages. I have to restart my iMac (Mid 2011 model). Its a nuisance.
Any ideas please?
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. .

Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.
Hi Matt,
I purchased my imac in November of 2010 and below is a cut and past from Hardware overview. It has 1 TB hardrive, with 670 GB free. When i start up in the morning, it boots normal then freezes. Half the time i can get it to restart before it freezes, other half i have to power down then restart. At the same time throughout this process the little pixel squares show up sometimes in a single line or two aross the screen, then sometimes more random. After about 7 times of rebooting, everything runs fine for the day with no weird pixels. then i shut down at night, and start the porcess over in the morning. Thanks for your help!

"you need to restart your Imac"
I don't turn off my Imac that much and I keep getting this message after 5-6 days.
"you need to restart your computer. hold down the power button until it turns off"
It's very annoying while gaming since I die at bosses and lose my stuff etc....
I've sent in the report like 12 times last 2 months, someone have any idea what I can do?
The imac is not that old, maybe 5 months.Here's the crash report guys:

Itunes 11 Search causes it to hang, need a restart every time.
Is anyone else having this problem as well?
When i go to the search, I try to search for Alex,
but after entering the a, it hangs, cpu maxed out at 100%.
after killing it in task manager anbd re running, i get please reinstall instalation corrupt.
Mac.Same problem for me.
itunes 11 hangs even if I push casual consonants (eg: 'f', 'g' do not hang, 's' hangs).
Really poor quality software.
APPLE WAKE UP!!!
A workaround is here but to me seems not good that I had to google for a solution.
This solved my question by benwillmill on Nov 29, 2012 2:19 PM
Hey, I had the same problem. This fixed the problem for me:
Click the magnifying glass next to the seach bar and turn off "search entire library".
I'm not sure what this does, but it still seems to search all of my library.
P.S. : imac 2011 21"

IFS Node hanging (Needs Database restart)
Hi ,
We have system which was working pretty good.Recently we started getting these problems with the iFS node. We are not able to connect to iFS and our client applications are getting the following error.
We have the follwing configuration.
1) Oracle iFS 9.0.1
2) Oracle DB 9.0.1
3) We use iFS SDK as middle tier and run iFS service on middle tier
4) We have some custom agents running on serverside (Node).
5) Node runs with default service which uses "SmallServiceConfiguration".
6) Clients also use service property file which has "SmallServiceConfiguration".
Here is the exception which we are getting.
java.lang.Exception: Exception while trying to get Connection
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-21008: Unable to connect to iFS service

Looking forward for your reply.Hi Luis,
We have web applications which creates library session for each user who logs in. The library session gets disconnected when users HttpSession gets invalidated.
We did check how many connections were open from the application by running query against V$session table and there were around 30 inactive connections.
Rightnow here are the details of properties which are set.
# Service data cache
IFS.SERVICE.DATACACHE.Size=7500
IFS.SERVICE.DATACACHE.NormalTrigger=5000
IFS.SERVICE.DATACACHE.UrgentTrigger=5500
IFS.SERVICE.DATACACHE.EmergencyTrigger=6000
IFS.SERVICE.DATACACHE.PurgeTarget=4000
# Writeable connection pool
IFS.SERVICE.CONNECTIONPOOL.WRITEABLE.MinimumSize=2
IFS.SERVICE.CONNECTIONPOOL.WRITEABLE.TargetSize=5
IFS.SERVICE.CONNECTIONPOOL.WRITEABLE.MaximumSize=10
IFS.SERVICE.CONNECTIONPOOL.WRITEABLE.TargetSizeTimeout=1000
IFS.SERVICE.CONNECTIONPOOL.WRITEABLE.MaximumSizeTimeout=10000
# Readonly connection pool
IFS.SERVICE.CONNECTIONPOOL.READONLY.MinimumSize=2
IFS.SERVICE.CONNECTIONPOOL.READONLY.TargetSize=5
IFS.SERVICE.CONNECTIONPOOL.READONLY.MaximumSize=10
IFS.SERVICE.CONNECTIONPOOL.READONLY.TargetSizeTimeout=1000
IFS.SERVICE.CONNECTIONPOOL.READONLY.MaximumSizeTimeout=10000
These are values from "SmallServiceConfiguration" which we are using. Since we have web based application there might be time when some operations are executing concurrently. Do you think that has anything to do with Node being hung? .
We haven't tried using "medium" / "Large" service configuration yet , but are thinking to change it to "medium" . Should we do the change at the middle layer where we run our webapplication or at Node layer ?
Let me know your responses and we will try it and see whether that solves the problem.

IPhoto, iCloud Photos, QTKitServer-iPhoto and QTKitServer-Aperture all hanging
iMac mid-2011, 8 GB RAM, 1TB Internal Hard Drive, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9, iPhoto 5, Aperture 3.5
My iPhoto library, iCloud photos and some Mac OS X Mavericks file called QTKitServer-iPhoto and QTKitServer-Aperture keep hanging and not responding. Tried repairing permissions and repairing iPhoto library multiple times. Tried re-downloading Mavericks and that did not fix it. Called Apple Support. They said they could not help me beyond what I had already tried (Apple Online Support has really gone downhill since the last time I called) and to go to my local Apple retail store to see a Genius.
After running hardware tests, the Genius told me that my iPhoto library was too large and that was what was causing iPhoto and iCloud photos to hang. Even though he acknowledged that the QTKitServer operating system file is not supposed to hang. The Genius put in an additional 8 Mb memory to see if adding more memory would help (apparantly iPhoto is supposed to give back some memory when you close it and it does not). So Apple is not flushing memory when an App is closed. Apple's apparent solution is to add more memory that you have to purchase. However, the same three files kept not responding even with the additional memory. So I passed on the additional memory until I get the iPhoto problem solved. He also said my external hard drive, a WD 2TB hard drive that I bought from the same Apple retail store two or three years ago, looked like it was failing because there were lots of disk I/O errors in the system log, even though the drive appears to work fine and disk utility reported no problems when I ran Verify Disk on the external WD drive two days ago. I do not use this drive hardly at all (I backup my iMac to my Time Capsule), exept to keep a backup copy of my iPhoto library and Documents folder, and it has lots of original pictures that are not in my existing iPhoto library. I copied my iPhoto library and Documents folder to it last night and they seemed to copy fine.
So if my iPhoto library is really too big, and that is what the issue is, my problem is that there is no apparent way to break up my existing iPhoto Library into multiple small iPhoto libraries, without losing all of my keywords, titles, photo edits, event names, album names, folders and projects etc. The last time I tried breaking up my iPhoto library into smaller iPhoto libraries, even though I told iPhoto to export keywords and titles, it did not. And the Genius did not know if it would work now or not.
My question is to those of you who have large iPhoto libraries and are using Mac OS X Mavericks and iCloud Photos - how big are your iPhoto libraries? What is too big? Does anyone have an iPhoto library the size of mine that is working fine (who is also using Mac OS X Mavericks and iCloud)? When I talked to Apple online support, they said big iPhoto libraries are 100,000 photos and up. The Genius said anything over 1,000 is big. That's quite a spread. Currently I have 24,000 photos, most of which have been edited in some way or another, and about 1/2 of which have new titles, mulitple keywords assigned, faces and places assigned, etc., since I imported the original master photos. The Genius told me to duplicate my existing iPhoto library, create a new iPhoto library, import all of the folders in the iPhoto database except the Masters folder, and see if iPhoto still hung. If it did, he said it was all the data attached to the photos that is the problem, in which case I would need to create another new iPhoto library and import only the Masters file (images only). I think if I import only the Masters from my existing library, I will lose not only all of my keywords and titles, but also all of my photo edits, event names, album names, folder names, projects etc.
So I wasted an entire afternoon at the Apple retail store, only to buy a new external hard drive (that I may not even need), was told to buy more memory (that did not solve the problem - I passed on that), and I am no further ahead than I was when I went in. I need to know if there is any way that I can break up my iPhoto library into smaller libraries and retain all of the metadata and photo edits?
Finally, when I got home, I discovered that my husband with whom I had shared some of my photo streams, still had photos showing in shared photo streams that I had removed from iCloud two days ago. It removed them on my iMac - the place where those streams originated, but apparently left the thumbnails in the shared photo streams of everyone that I had shared the photos with. As soon as I clicked on an actual photo on my husband's iMac, the photo suddenly vanished and all the photo thumbnails in the stream did too. But the empty shared photo stream still remained on my husband's iMac and he had to physically say "Unsubscribe" to get it to go away. So something is not working right with iCloud photos, which is no doubt why iCloud photos is one of the files that keeps not responding.
Then, when I set up my iMac again this evening, and looked at iCloud on my iMac, all of my photo streams (not just the four that I had removed two days ago) were gone! And when I went into Aperture, the photo streams were all there, but with zero photos in them. Now last night when I boxed up my iMac to take to Apple, those photo streams were all there and they all had photos in them. So where did they go? And why, when you are the originator of a photo stream, and you tell iCloud to remove the photo stream, it says that it does but it leaves remnants of it with the other people you have shared it with? It seems to me that iPhoto, iCloud, and the fact that Apple is not flushing memory when an app closes is the problem with my iMac, not the size of my iPhoto library, or my external hard drive, or the fact that 8Gb of memory is apparently no longer enough memory for decent response with Mavericks (which I thought was designed to help solve some of the memory issues that OS X has).
I need help and help is apparently nowhere to be found at Apple.
Is there anyone out there who can help me?If you're using iPhoto 5 as you say then, yes, 24k photos is heading close to the Limit of 25k. iPhoto 6 is good for 250,000 images, iPhoto 11 is good for 1,000,000.
I'm going to guess that's a typo and that you have iPhoto 9.5.
I've simply never heard of "too many photos" causing the problem you describe. You don't need more memory. You don't need to break up the Library. "Flushing Memory" is a non-isssue. One of the big improvements in 10.9 is in memory management.
There are a couple of ways to break up a Library while preserving everything. It's dead easy with Aperture - export projects as Library - you can do it with iPhoto simply by duplicating the Library and deleting from the two libraries or use iPhoto Library Manager.
But, as I say, 24k is a small Library. My main library is more than twice the size of that.
Are Aperture and iPhoto using the same Library?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result. -

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.

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon for a wedding reception!
What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

When I try to open my aperture library, this is the message pop out " TO OPEN THIS iPHOTO LIBRARY IN APERTURE, IT FIRST NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED. "
My apperture application is already up to date. no more upgrade available. please advice what to do.The update refers to the library not the application.
So is this an Aperture library you are trying to open in iPhoto or an iPhoto library you are trying to open in Aperture? You're post is confusing on this point.
In either case make sure the library is up-to-date in the originating application then the other should open it.
BTW what version of iPhoto abnd Aperture are you running?

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? 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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:

I have a MacPro with OSX 10.9.4 and I photo 9.5. When opening IPhoto I got a message I needed to upgrade my IPhoto with an upgrade installer. Now IPhoto is just spinning and will not let me quit or Upgrade.
BAckup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys while launching iPhoto until the first aid window comes up and repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

Can not open iPhoto, message telling me that i need to upgrade?
can not open iPhoto, message telling me that i need to upgrade
What iPhoto are you referring to? The one on your Mac or on your mobile device? If on your Mac what system and iPhoto versions are you running? What happens when you try to launch iPhoto? Any message pops up? What are they?

HT5037 I am trying to open my iPhoto, but it tells me I need to upgrade. Help?
I can't opne my iPhotos. It tells me I need to upload using the Library Uploader. I download as instructed, but it doesn't seem to download. I can't open my iPhotos. Help!
Okay- so here's the long story!
Perhaps this will help.
My computer crashed a few months ago.
We got a new hard-drive.
I tried to open my iPhoto for the first time and go some message about it being "locked". I no longer get that message so I don't remember entirely what it said, but I followed to directions to "unlock" it.
Now, when I click 'iPhoto" on my dock, I get this message:
To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.
To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple.
then there is a "learn more" button.
When you select that, it takes me here and this is where my discussion started. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037
I followed the steps to upgrade from previous versions- see my comment above, but I get stuck from 8.1.2 version to what appears to be the next one up from there.
Does this help? I hate computers and simply want get my photos back from Carbonite before the crash happened. I'm freaking out because I have 4 years of photos from the birth of my son. If I can't get iPhoto working, I have no idea how to get my photos restored.
