IPhoto 11 shuts down unexpectedly while trying to upgrade library

iPhoto 11 wants to upgrade the photo library, but shuts down before the process completes. I upgraded to iPhoto 11 about 2 months ago and had no problems until this week. Now I can't open the app or access photos

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. .

My ipod Nano generation 7 shuts down unexpectedly while using the NIKE app, has anyone experienced this problem?

My ipod Nano generation 7 shuts down unexpectedly while using the NIKE app, has anyone experienced this problem?

This is not a problem I have only had with 7th gen. iPod. I have had this problem with the 5th gen. It goes back a few years. Nike and Apple are aware of this. Nothing has been done. It appears that when the iPod voice commences (whether to update you on the status of your run) and you touch a button to prompt a mileage update or song change yourself (or even brush the device wrong when taking off a jacket), the operating system overloads and cannot sort it out. It then shuts down and reboots. Your mileage is lost. So sorry. Have a nice day.
Love the other aspects of running with a nano (small and light weight). I can keep it high and dry and out of the way. Like the software. Use it almost everyday. Hate the unknown dropped runs. I have logged over 2,000 miles with these devices. Today I lost another 3 miles - probably the 30-40th time it has happened. Frustration is somewhere between time for another device to time for another system - Map My Run indeed!
This probably occurs with my iPod once or twice a month. Went to the Apple Store - three times. The first time was maybe two years ago and they first tried some magic dust and then on the second visit, they swapped out my nano - it was a bit flimsy. The problem returned. I then upgraded. The problem returned. The third time they did a reset and it seemed to help. Then, it returned. But to download an older software version, verify the fidelity of the UBS cable, jump from computer to computer, make a trip to the Apple store, and perform so many two steps on one leg just to get what we paid for seems . . . well, lame. And, Apple told us the thingy would work using all the different computers and software (Vista, Nike, etc. etc.).
Oh, one other thing. The Apple Store told me to complain to Nike. Nike said their software is fine. This is like dealing with General Motors or the government - but, worse. Not my problem man. See the guy over there. Got it.
I note that no one from Apple is jumping in the chain here with a fix. So much for customer exuberance. Generally like Apple. We have about 20 Apple devices in our family (desktops, portables, phones, pods, tablets) and are lining up for the watches . . . but, maybe Apple is an idea who time has come and gone, . . . like the wind.

Macbook Pro shuts down unexpectedly while on battery

My Macbook Pro will shutdown without warning when the battery level gets somewhere around 50%. This system is only 1 year old and the battery information shows a cycle count of 163. Is this the standard lifespan of a Macbook battery these days? Is anyone else experiencing this after one year?

Hi !
I have the same problem with my new Macbook Pro 17. Right now I am trying the described calibration procedure but I am not sure if can do this right. Step 4 in ths procedure tells me to
"Continue to keep your computer on until it goes to sleep. Save all your work and close all applications when the battery gets very low, before the computer goes to sleep."
But my computer never goes to sleep when the battery is low. It always shuts down when the battery reaches about 25 %. Will the calibration procedure still work ?
What frightens me is the output of the System Information (sorry all in german) :

It tells me that my full capacity is 9396 mAh. Shouldn't this be something like 12000 mAh ? At least this is what I read in other posts. Will this value also be influenced by the calibration procedure ?

ITunes shuts down computer while trying to synch!!

Someone out there please help me. iTunes support kissed me off. Here is the situation. I have a 3G iPhone that synchs up to my laptop just fine (Windows Vista machine). When I try to synch up to my desktop (Windows XP) as soon as it starts to detect that the phone is connected, my computer shuts down and starts a reboot!! I can't confirm if the phone is even recognised by iTunes when this happens. iTunes seems to open properly and I can access the web site and navagate around as long as the phone isn't connected.
Anybody have any ideas?? HELP!
Thank you.

Nope, don't think it is USB or power supply problem. I can plug other peripherals into the USB ports and nothing like this happens.
Thanks tho
Any other ideas?

MacBook 17" 2011 (Mavericks) shuts down randomly while trying to start from Profile

It's weird. The computer will turn on into recovery mode just fine, where the disk utility says that everything is A-OK. It will even turn on and load a Guest profile just fine, which is what I'm on currently. But if I turn on my computer and load my actual profile, this is what happens:
I click on my picture and enter my password.
A grey status bar starts to load about a quarter to a half of the way
The computer shuts off, complete black out
It was working fine last night, and I have no idea what changed as I woke up to the turned-off computer. I tried resetting the SMC, which hasn't helped.
Anybody know what the problem may be?

IPhoto 06 crashes while trying to upgrade library

I get the following error every time - I have 1 gig of RAM on a PB 1.67 MHz.

Steven:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you repair disk permissions after you complete the 06 install? If not try now. Also you might want to manually set the permissions on the iPhoto Library folder to read and write for you, owner and group.
Can you create a new fresh library and then import a photos successfully? Also how much free space do you have on your PB?

Iphoto shuts down whenever I try to export

I am currently using iPhoto 8.1.2 and OS X (Maverick) 10.9.4. I recently purchased an external HD as my memory was filling up rapidly. I was exporting photos from iPhoto and about 1,000 went through and then iPhoto shut down "unexpectedly". Now whenever I try to export any photo from iPhoto to any destination (external HD, desktop, a file, etc...) the export starts and then iPhoto shuts down. I have been doing the exports by highlighting an album in iPhoto, hitting file, then export, and when it asks where I select the destination. It's strange because it was working and then just stopped. I have re-booted, ejected the external HD, but the issue remains. Do I need to bite the bullet and just upgrade iPhoto or is there a fix?
Thanks for any and all assistance.

This is because iPhoto 09 is not fully compatible with 10.9.4 and there is no known fix at this time, except upgrading to iPhoto 11.
If space is an issue, why not just move the Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

IPhoto shut down / photos disappeared

After transferring 193 photos, while editing iPhoto shut down unexpectely deleting photos. Created Event disappeared! The camera was already erased as All photos were imported to the computer. Any chance of finding photos anywhere or the hard drive? I am Devasted! Does this issue occur often?

Probably the imported photos are still inside the iPhoto library, in the "Masters" folder.
Try to rebuild the iPhoto Library - how to is described in Old Toad's post here:
See: iPhoto unexpectedly shut down and my photos disappeared!
Where have you been importing from? Your camera? A card reader? An iPhone?
This problem has occasionally been reported after the iPhoto 9.4.3 update. It seems to happen, when the card in a camera has become corrupted and needs reformatting in the camera.
Once you have retrieved your photos - hopefully - reformat the card or use a differentcard.
I nevert use the option to delete the photos in the camera, at the same time that I am importing. I wait till the photos have been imported and checked and backed up, before I delete them from the card. Using the camera to delete photos is better for the filesystem on the card than letting the computer do it.

CS2 Shuts Down Unexpectedly

I'm encountering a very frustrating problem. The program shuts down unexpectedly while I'm working in zoom (100-150%)resulting in going back to recreate what I didn't save while working. I've been trying to remember to save more frequently so I won't lose anything. This was a problem when I first purchased CS2 and updated with the patch 12.0.1. Didn't have any shutdowns afterwards, but am now encountering it again. Does anyone have this problem and have any suggestions/solutions? I'm using WinsXP.

This is most likely a hardware problem. What apparently happens is that your MBP stop recognizing the battery and the energy cord, since this happens when you are moving it, most probably is a short circuit or a moved cable (sorry for my english). Try taking it to an Apple Store for checking, since we can't help you with hardware issues over here

While editing photos iPhoto shut down. The unexpected shut down message appeared and I pressed re-open. When it reopened I had lost my most recent import as well as imports from the past 2 weeks. When I try to re-import it says that they already exist

After an import of about 20 black & white photos to iPhoto I was editing one when iPhoto shut down. The "unexpected shut down" message was displayed. I clicked reopen, which it did. However, my last import was completely missing. Not only that, everything I had imported, adjusted and filed for the past 2 weeks was also missing. It has still saved all of the albums I created but all show "no photos".
When I try to re-import from my back-up, iPhoto says "can't import, photo is already in the library".
Can anyone help?

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 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.

My iPhoto keeps sending an error message saying i photo shut down unexpectedly. This has happened for 2 days now.

My iphoto keeps sending me an error message saying iphoto has shut down unexpectedly. It begins to open the last photo, freezes and reports this message.
Options are to ignore, report and retry. Retry and ignore get you nowhere. Report doesn't help either.
thanks,

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 see when iPhoto opens?
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?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Macbook froze while online. hard shutdown. when it restarted, an error message appeared saying finder shut down unexpectedly containing a message box with a long list of technical jibberish. after clicking OK that it would send an error report to Apple,

macbook froze while online. hard shutdown. when it restarted, an error message appeared saying finder shut down unexpectedly containing a message box with a long list of technical jibberish. after clicking OK that it would send an error report to Apple, the same error message box appeared again and again every time OK was clicked. Now the macbook will not turn on at all

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally 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.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
