Iphoto 11 does not load

Having trouble getting iphoto to open. Have updated iphoto but still not responsive. Have 12,000 photos iMAC
Mac OS X 10.6 8, 4GB 1333MHz DDR3. any suggestions to get this work ????

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. 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 does not load, can anyone help?

My Iphoto does not load and I can not import any videos or pictures.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 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. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain 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.

Reloaded snow leopard, iphoto does not load

just reloaded snow leopard and my iphoto does not load up, get error message to perhaps reload iphoto ?????

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure the version of iPhoto you have is Snow Leopard compatible?

Iphoto does not load into iDVD- too many photos?

Recently upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 and iLife '09. Ever since, iPhoto will not load into iDVD (iphoto 8.0 and iDVD 7.0.3). When trying to open current and new projects in iDVD, the project opens, and plays, but the photos from iPhoto never load, the loading icon just spins on and on. When I open a new document, the same thing happens. Tried trashing preferences in both programs, reinstalling iLife, and reparing permissions. All software updates are current. Still won't work.
I am starting to wonder if it has to do with the number of photos I have in iPhoto, which is about 4000. The photos loaded with no problem until I upgraded. Could it be that the upgrades in iPhoto just make the files too large, and it's too much to expect that many photos to load? Does anyone know how many photos is too many,— or can you suggest anything I have not tired that might work?

This is from Mac Help. It is a good idea to create another account to use in troubleshooting situations such as this. After you create the new account, open iDVD from that account. Try creating a small project to see if you are having the same problems. Post back with your results.
_Adding a new user account to your computer_
You can create individual user accounts for each person who uses your computer. Each new user has a separate home folder and can adjust his or her own preferences without affecting other users.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
Click Add and type the user's name.
If you don't want to use the short name generated automatically, type a new short name. (Once the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name.)
Type the user's password in the Password and Verify boxes.
Type a hint to help the user remember the password if they have trouble remembering it at login.
Click Parental Controls and select options to determine what the user can do with the computer.
If you change your mind while you're creating a new user account, click Delete to cancel.

IPhoto does not load.

This happened before and I had to delete my iPhoto application and buy one from the app store. Now that its not loading photos again, it won't let me reinstall from the appstore as it says that the app is already installed.
I've tried the deletion of the .plist file and it did nothing for me.
I've also tried to restore a older version of iPhoto from my back-up in the Time Machine and the problem persists...
I' quickly running out of options here.

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.

IPhoto does not load after using camera

Hi,
I tried to downloan pics from a Sony camera, and since then I can't use iPhoto. It opens but then I get this message 'loading photos' that stays up forever and in the end nothing happens. I don't want to use the camera anymore, I just want to see my old pics.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!
david

Hi, marranod,
Welcome to the discussions!
Let me see if I understand your question. You connected a Sony to download photos. Did you get the photos into your iPhoto?
Some Sonys create a camera/disk icon on the desktop that needs to be ejected (dragged to the trash) BEFORE you disconnect the camera....I have done this, and it seems to be ok, but you may receive the message that you did not remove the device properly and may have damaged it.
Am I correct that you had other photos in iPhoto, and that now you cannot get iPhoto to load any of your photos?
Try this: close iPhoto, go to User->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iPhoto.plist and drag that plist into the trash.
Repair permissions using Disk Utility.
Relaunch iPhoto and see if it opens now.
Post back if these suggestions didn't work.
Also, next time you download from a camera, use Image Capture ( in your applications folder) to get the photos into your computer, and then import them into iPhoto.

My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there.

IPhoto will not load the iPhoto library. When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it. I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
recreate the library I believe. It's been a while so I cant remember
exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
have had no problems with it.

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

Imovie 09 (8.0.6) does not load iphoto picture library anymore

I had a double change,
1st: imovie update to 8.0.6 2nd: a new external hard disc for iphoto and imovie (the previous disc died).
since then imovie shows the video's from iphoto in the event library, but does not load the pictures from iphoto in the picture library. it keeps stating loading iphoto pictures, but they never appear
any idea's??

Hi - I have a very similar problem I think.
Just bought a new iMac and have latest versions of iMovie, iTunes and iPhoto - yes I have checked.
Trying iMovie for the first time - cannot see anything listed where they are supposed to be in the media browser window.
Looking at the intro to iMovie etc it clearly shows the folder structures - I get nothing showing at all.
Reading through the posts here it seems that there is a bug to be fixed.
Had a problem yesterday with my iPhone not showing in iTunes - an update cleared this problem.

My Iphoto does not work properly, after downloading Mavericks. How can I fix it ? loading Mavericks

My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos.

Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos. Occasionally it will recognize and download photos, most of the time though it hangs in "loading" mode with nothing downloaded. I've unplugged, replugged numerous times, tried a different USB port, tried the two cameras so it's not the camera or line that's the issue, turned the computer off, turned iphoto off, turned everything else off and stil nothing. I need my photos for my work and can't get to them, this seems to be an issue with Maverick AGAIN!!! Is there a fix? HELP! Thanks!

iPhoto Version 9.5.1
Thank you for your help Terence. I had 140 photos on my Nikon, none were viewable in iphoto, in Image Capture 5 were viewable, 135 weren't. I tried importing one to my desktop but it remained static and didn't move over. I just deleted all the photos on my camera, took a fresh photo and after waiting a good 4 minutes finally uploaded to both iphoto and Image Capture. As this took so long for one photo I'm wondering if the memory in my computer would impact the speed. I have 350GB used and 150GB left
By reformat the cards do you mean the flash card in the camera? I don't know how to do that, it's less that 6 months old.

Media Browser does not load photos

iWeb media browser does not load photos. iTunes and Movies panels do work however.
I do have multiple iPhoto libraries, maybe that has something to do with it?

Changed icon now iPhoto does not respond

Hi,
Can anyone help me, I went a bit silly changing my folder icons, but have now found that iPhoto does not work. I did change the icon for my pictures folder, and the data is still there, but now when I try to open iPhoto it just says 'loading library' and nothing happens. I am using iPhoto 4.0.3.
Thanks

HI, Stuart. Changing a folder's icon puts an invisible icon file inside the folder, so you changed your iPhoto Library folder's contents without iPhoto's participation or knowledge, and now iPhoto sees its database as damaged. This is a useful lesson in letting well enough alone, particularly where no useful purpose is actually served by your meddling. "Purely cosmetic" tweaks of the user interface can have more-than-cosmetic adverse effects on how things work (or don't).
Delete your custom icon from the folder, then hold down the Shift and Option keys while starting iPhoto. Keep holding them down until you're asked whether you want the database rebuilt. Say Yes and let iPhoto do its work. You will probably get everything back again in good shape.
If your adventures with custom icons haven't messed anything else up, you're probably lucky.
