IPhoto '11 does not launch AT ALL

I've tried fixing permissions, using BatChmod, deleting the appropriate .plist files, reloading the software (and the software upgrade again), and iPhoto '11 does not launch. It shows up under 'Force Quit Applications' but does not show up anywhere else.
I had no problems using iPhoto '09.
Now I've only been using Macs for 18 years, but I have to say this is one of the worst Mac software experiences I've encountered.
Are there any plans to fix this program?

Some users had good luck by removing any 3rd Party QuikTime Plugins. Apparently there is a compatibility issue.

Some of us are still stupid too....what did you do? :D

Time Machine does not launch at all.

I am unable to launch TM at all. The following message apears. "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)".
After a clean install of 10.5 it did work and I did a single backup. The next time I tried to start TM it would not. This has continued into 10.5.2.
This is with or without the external HD (WD My Book) attached.
Any ideas?

First of all, check your external drive is formatted correctly - in Disk Utility - to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Turn TM off in Preferences, select Change Disc and select your backup drive. In Options you can exclude other drives or files from being backed up. Switch TM back on. Remember TM needs the external drive you allocated to be attached for it to work.
If you don't require hourly backups, there is the free Apple TimeMachineScheduler you can download and set backups up to 12 hours apart.

Firefox is not launching in one user account (just does not react at all) although it works fine in another account on the same laptop

Have been running Firefox without problem in both my own and my child's account on my laptop. Today, although Firefox still works normally in my own account, it does not launch at all in my child's account. Clicking on either the short cut or via AllPrograms results in the timer starting briefly and then disappearing and nothing happening. I have checked Task Manager and Firefox is not showing as running in the Processes tab. I have tried to set up a new profile in that account to no effect.

I am having exactly the same problem. This worked on all versions of Firefox up until mid last week. It started failing on Wednesday, coincident with the installation of Firefox 8.0 (see attached gif showing the automatic update on that date).
To fix the problem, you have to shut down Firefox 8.0 on one account, switch to the other account and then you can run it there.
If Firefox 8.0 is running on on account, the other account will run Firefox, but when you enter an URL it waits for quite a while then reports "The connection was reset. The connection was reset while the page was loading".
We also use Thunderbird 8.0 and it does not exhibit this problem, and works at the same time as Firefox 8.0. I suspect they might share some components.
I'd be happy to supply more details if needed.
Thanks,
Ed

The "edit in" does not launch if I make any develop changes. I am using LR 5.6 and all of my plug ins are properly installed, up to date and were working just fine. Edit in does work if I reset the image or load an unmodified DNG.

I am using LR5.6 on a Windows 7 machine with plenty of memory. LR, CS5 and all of my plug ins have been working just fine. Tonight I've found that if I make any kind of significant adjustments to an image, and the go to "Edit in.." that function does not launch. I can use the Edit in command on an unmodified image, or if I reset the modified image. I have the issue with all of my plug ins, including Photoshop, all of the Nik software, RadLab, and OnOne. I believe that all of the plug ins are current. I've been working with them yesterday and I had no issue. I cannot recall anything that has changed since then, and I have not installed any software. I'm at a loss!! Please help!

I have traced the problem to a corrupted profile. When I captured the images in question, I also used Color Cherckr to create a profile for processing. When I apply that profile to the adjustments I make, I can no longer "Edit In". If I use another profile, even one that I created using Color Checkr at a different point in time, I don't have the issue. Something seems to have corrupted the new profile. I will re-create the profile and see if the issue is resolved.

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

All Software program in the application folder does not launch

I have a macBook Pro mid 2012. When I click on any software program in the applications folder on the sidebar, it does not launch. What do I need to do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iphoto library, located on time capsule ( +/- 50G) does not load at all after upgrade to OSX to Yosemite ?

Dear all,
I am guessing, this is not the end for accessing to my iphoto (last update) library, my life memories, but after upgrade to OSX Yosemite, my iphoto library, located on time capsule (+/- 50G) does not load at all. I have sent the report to Apple.
I am, worried to save or see my pictures back.
Thanks fo your help.

Hi Larry,
Sorry, for the delay, in the meantime I have restored my previous OS.
But to answer you, basically , I use the time capsule as both a backup volume and an external drive.
It's a 1 To Capacity.
Best Regards,
Clémentine
That is a bad idea
1 - since you have files on the same disk as your backup you have no backup for those files which apparently includes you photos - having no b means it is just a matter of time until you lose them
2 - The TimeMachine backup grows until it fills the volume it is on - when the TC is full iphoto (and maybe other programs) will stop workig due to lack of space
You need at least two external hard drives - one for the iPhoto library (this one needs to be directly connected with a fast wired connection like Thungrbolt, Firewire or USB and be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and a separate EHD for you TM backup

TS1501 Image Capture does not launch when I connect my iPhone to my iMac and open iPhoto. No "Prefernces" is offered under Image Capture. I cannot import photos to iPhoto.

Can't import photos from iPhone to iPhoto. Image Capture does not launch when iPhone is connected to my iMac and iPhoto is open. There is no "Preferences" option offered to click when in Image Capture.

This helped me. It is advice I found from a user named Carlosmara. First make sure iPhoto is closed and your iPhone is not connected. Then, as Carlosmara stated in his post,
"Go to your Library/preferences and delete the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist
IPhoto should recognized the iPhone again."
The file in question is under your user folder.
I then restarted my mac and plugged in the iPhone so that it would sync. After the sync, when I opened iPhoto, my iPhone was recognized and I could download the photos perfectly.
Hopefully this will help you as it helped me

IPhoto 8 does not open my iPhoto 6 library.

Hi,

How can I do that without loosing my albums.

Simply copy the iPhoto Library Folder from the Pictures Folder on your old machine to the same location on the new one. The launch iPhoto. That's all.

IPhoto 08' will not launch after double clicking icon in dock

I recently had to reinstall the Tiger OS and did so through Archive and Reinstall option. After everything was back up and running I installed all updates available through Software Update. But, iPhoto does not launch. The icon bounces up and down twice and then stops... nothing happens after that. I tried looking for the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file and could not find it in the preference folder. Funny thing is that all the other iLife apps work just fine.
Any ideas not involving reinstalling iPhoto through the CD? I just moved and am still trying to located the iLife CD.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Hi,
I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest version in order to sync music onto my new ipod shuffle. However after a successful installation the application does not launch or open? There are no error messages. The application is just unresponsive.
I have already checked the compatibility with Safari, my operating system and checked my firewall is not blocking it - all is fine.
Does anyone have any other resolutions?
Many thanks

Hi Carolyn,

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

Using Calendar client version 4.6 on Unix to connect to Calendar Server 4.0, I get a core dump and the client does not launch

I am using Communicator Pro with Enterprise Calendaring, Calendar client 4.6,
and when I attempt to launch it I immediately get a core dump and it does not
launch.
<P>
The 4.6 motif client is not able to run against the 4.0 Calendar Server.
It is strongly recommended that you use the 4.61 motif Calendar client (bundled with the 4.7
Communicator Pro release) or 4.51/4.52 against Calendar Server 4.0. There are
known problems when going offline while using the 4.5 client on any platform
against the 4.0 Server. Both the 4.51 Windows and the 4.52 motif clients have
repaired this problem.

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
