Iphoto 4 moves sooo slowly
my iphoto 4 moves so slow and often stalls and i constantly get the little moving circle that times-out what i am trying to do.
can i update my iphoto by installing a newer version? i've checked out the software section on apple.com but have not been able to find what i am looking for.
any help would be great.
That would kind of defeat the purpose of a rebuild. Database corruption is usually the result of an association failure -- albums, keywords, rolls -- those things that iPhoto contributes to the database. iPhoto doesn't make any changes to the original images.

All of the sudden my iPhoto is running SO slowly. I get the wheel when I arrow to the next photo. I thought it might be my Aperture interfering (I've had problems before) so I took that off. It is VERY frustrating. Suggestions?
Thanks for your advice...I tried it, along with emptying iPhoto trash and MAC trash. It is still running so slowly. I don't understand it....I go through about 600 sport photos a week and dump about 500 quickly (or used to) and with the wheel running in between each photo it is KILLING me! Any other suggestions? I am worried about bringing aperture back b/c it caused problems before. I guess I could try lightroom but could it be a bigger computer problem? Thanks for the help...

My iPhoto starts up very slowly.
My iPhoto starts up very slowly. Spinning beach ball for about 10-15 sec. before any photos load up. Have done everything that Apple Support has suggested. Works once or twice and back to the same thing again.
There have been two possible fixes for this:
1 - move the HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop and reboot. (see houseboat's post at the end of this discussion: spinning beachball suddenly every time now at launch )
NOTE: this will remove your Mac's name from the System/Sharing preference pane. Go that pane and reenter the name you gave the Mac originally. It can mess up some sharing and LAN connections.

2 - Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and remove any mail account that has been slow lately. This helped a couple of users that had several mail accounts. However, I would consider it to be a last last chance option and if you had several accounts. Be sure to take a screenshot of the settings for each mail account you might remove so you can add them back easily if the fix wasn't worthwhile.

My mac is slow, the movies run slowly, the kernel_task consumes 463,3 MB of memory, how can I fix this?
The problem started a few weeks ago with a small decrease in speed, and the videos now crash while the sound remains normal. When I open the Finder or any file it seems that I'm opening the windows with the hourglass spinning. I've already cleaned temporary, removed everything that was saved on the table, I made up for the mountain lion. I have a Mac 27-inch, 3.06 GHz processor Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB, Software OS X 10.8. With space on the HD.

My iphoto is running too slowly. I think I have too many pictures. I do not want an editing program. Is iphoto library manager what I need to? I have read so many of the questions here but can't find one that fits my problem. Will getting the library manage help? Do I delete photos from iphoto then? Is the trial version ok or do I have to pay the $30?
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 you 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?
what do you mean by "too slowly"?

IPhoto working very very slowly
Recently updated Mac to Mavericks, iPhoto now working extremely slowly - anything I can do to speed it back up to normal again? Thanks.
Well the thing to try is to rebuild that slow Library
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.

Webcam recorded frames move very slowly when copied onto cd
hello
i had recorded a few lab demos thru creative webcam.later i copied these onto a cd.but when i play from the cd,the images move very slowly (i.e)the frames moving are so apparent.how do i make it move continuously?what setting changes should i make while recording so that later when copied onto cd the image on the cd will move continously/
kindly help.
thanks.Would cleaning out the preferences help Appleworks to run smoother? I noticed that was suggested in an earlier post.
Peggy's reply is spot on. Deleting the preferences won't make AppleWorks run smoother and it's not something you should do regularly. It's only a troubleshooting remedy - if the preference files are corrupted then it causes strange behaviour with AppleWorks.
The reason deleting your recent items makes AppleWorks smoother is because AppleWorks is programmed to check them regularly. And if there's a lot of them, then it takes AppleWorks a long time to check them. This causes AppleWorks to 'run a bit rough' – it's not just handling your typing, formatting, etc but also chasing up documents on your hard drive.
Hope the explanation helps a bit. -
Hi,
I would like to copy my photos (from iphoto) and movies (from i movie) from my Mac book air to my imac in which I also have iphoto and imovie with photos and movies.
My goal is to have a unique source of photos and movies in my imac.
Thanks !
NicolasAs to iPhoto
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum

IPhoto '08 opens photos slowly
I'm using a G5 Power Mac with a 1.6GHz processor, 768Mb RAM, OS 10.4.10 and I'm noticing iPhoto '08 opens photos slowly. The files open in a jerky manner. is there anything I can do to improve performance? Would increasing RAM by 1GB help, (total of 1.768GB)?
How much free space do you have on your boot drive? Do you have all of the thumbnails displayed or do you have the events closed except for those you're using?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
Copying of iPhoto library going very slowly
Hello, all,
Yesterday I purchased a brand new 1TB firewire 800 external drive. It's correctly formatted for my Mac. I had wanted to put my iPhoto library on this drive, OR use it as a backup location for the library. Either way, I needed to copy it over from my iMac's internal drive.
I tried twice to copy the library (using the Finder), which lists itself as 89GB. Each time the Finder progress bar indicated the copy would take two to three days. That sounded like way too short a time over Firewire 800. To test things out, I did a different backup copy of my *iTunes* library, which is also over 80GB. That library lives on a different external drive, using Firewire 400. THAT copy took less than an hour, and it had to go downstream from one external and then upstream to the new external. A second copy of other files from that external drive also went swimmingly: 22GB in about 12 minutes.
Does anyone have any insight into what might be happening? Is there something unusual about iPhoto libraries that makes them copy more slowly than other kinds of files?
Thanks for your help!I found a fast soution 45 Gb Library copied in ~30 min. over USB 2.0
I did a semi-manual copy, by opening the iPhoto Library - "Show package contents" (in right click menu) then copying the contents to a new iPhoto libaray "Package"
Instead of copying all at once copy the small files/folders in one batch, wati to complete, then copy the larger files folders. You can copy the package contents one folder at a time or a few at a time. I found that copying the Library files in one batch, then copying the Masters, Previews, & Thumbnails in a second batch seemed to work well without choking up.
Here's the steps
Connect your hard drive or Mac in Target disk mode
navigate to the folder containing the iPhoto Library you wish to copy
'Right click' Show Package Contents
You'll see apx 19 files - select all but exclude 3 folders: Masters, Previews, & Thumbnails you'll come back for theses later
Copy these files to an empty folder on your destination drive/Mac (Later you'll use iPhoto to make a new libary "Package" then you'll put these files inside it) The copy should take a few minutes, high volume + tiny files
When the first copy is finished, go back and copy the remaining 3 folders Masters, Previews, & Thumbnails. This is the opposite as previous step, lower volume + larger files. Copy speeds should be normal ie 30 min. for 45 Gb over USB 2.0.
Once all these files and folders are copied you need to put them into an empty iPhoto Library container. An easy way to do this is
Launch iPhoto holding the Option key
Choose 'New Library' (choose an apprpriate name)
Quit iPhoto
in Finder go to the new Library you just created (User/Pictures/) - be sure its the one you just made
Right Click (Control + Click) the iPhoto Libraray
Choose - Show Package Contents (now you're looking at the contents that makup an iPhoto library)
Select all these files and folders and delete them to the trash Open the folder that has your freshly copied files and put them in this empty iPhoto Library package.
Close finder windows (disconnect your hard drive or Mac)
Launch iPhoto (you can hold the Option Key while launching iPhoto to choose the correct Library if you have more than one).
Viola. You should have a functional copy from your old Mac/External hard drive.
REMEMBER!
The easiest way to mess up your iPhoto Library is to move things around inside the "Package contents" of your iPhoto Library. Its hidden in there for a reason, so don't go mucking about under the hood. Best practice is to touch nothing inside the "Show Package Contetns" of your iPhoto library. As described above, we're merely just speeding up a file transfer and copying files so they mirror their source in a new destination. Good luck. -
.mac web gallery and iPhoto '08 movies, which format?
Hi Folks, I ran into a problem over the weekend working on a movie project. As you might have read in the forums, there is no way to load up a movie to .mac web gallery with password protection. The suggested workaround by Apple is to import your movie into iPhoto '08 and then load it up into the .mac web gallery and apply the password protection offered by iPhoto.
But here comes the kicker, when I export movies out of iMovie '08 they have the .m4v extension, and iPhoto refuses them into it's library. So what kind of extensions of format should a export the movies to, for them to be imported into iPhoto. All help and support is welcome and appriciated!
Cheers, CC

Just tested this and exported a short .m4v and as you say when you try to import the .m4v file is greyed out.
I think this'll work:
Under Share choose Export using Quicktime
I chose
Movie to Quicktime Movie then selected Options tab
Choose Quicktime to mov
Use an h264 codec with AAC.
I can certainly import that .mov to iPhoto - and create a web gallery - my uploading is very slow and everything is 'pending' at present but i thinks it's slowly going there!

How to take the movies off of iPhoto and move them to my external hard drive
My hard drive in the computer is dying. I am using time machine to back up everything to my external hard drive. However, I am not sure it will take the movies from my iphoto.
1. When I try and export my movies from Iphoto to my external hard drive it only allows me to export as jpeg not .mov
2. When i just drag them the whole movies is not there.
I really need help to do this asap as my computer keeps freezing and clicking now more often.
Thank youTo export a movie you must export it as kind is original otherwise you get the single frame JPEG preview
and you should backup the entire iphoto library by dragging it intact as a single entity to a hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

How to batch change all iPhoto imported movies and keep them in same event?
I have several years of AVI movies that won't be read in iMovie 08 but can be viewed and played using QT from iPhoto 08.
Anybody know how i can batch convert the entire library of movies in my iPhoto library to mac happy format and keep their creation date, save them back into the same location, and modify iPHoto database to re-path to new clips then remove old? I must maintain organization as these videos are labeled, and dated and sorted according to my daughters entire life! I don't want a new folder with 1000 vidoes, I like to keep them in the 'event' folder they live in and have iPhoto point to them instead of the .avi files that iphoto has no problem with but iMovie does.
Sounds insane, but it's the only solution i can think of to use iLife products with one of the most popular compact digital camera's in the world which saves in a format that works perfectly everywhere else within my mac other then iLife.
I'm sorry if i sound a little peeved.. i've been desperately trying to make a solid pipeline for personal media out of my mac since i've switched over, and found that unless your media is born and dies in quicktime, the mac isn't really that friendly.vfman
Not quite an answer, but perhaps the way towards an answer:
You want to round trip these avi files out of iPhoto, convert them to a different file type and the bring them back into iphoto whole preserving all of the arrangements you have for them in iPhoto. Correct?
You cannot do that for a very simple reason, and that is converting the file type will create a new file with a new file name.
SO we have to be clever... and this might be a way to do that:
1. Title the files in iPhoto to use their Creation date in the title (so we get Jan 01 2005 - Her First Steps.avi, or somesuch.) I suggest this, but there may be a way to change the file date on the new movies that I don't know about.
2. Export the files in batches - month by month say - to the desktop and there, process them into the new format. (You'll need to research the Software for that job yourself, I'm no help there)
Now we have a file called Jan 01 2005 - Her First Steps.mov (or whatever the suffix is going to be.
3. Create a new library in iPhoto (hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto, choose 'Create Library' Give it a distinctive name: The great library fix, or somesuch)
4. When you have the new library organised to mirror - as much as possible, delete the avi's from your main library, and use iPhoto Library Manager to move the reformatted files back...
That's an approach to the issue. Have a think about it, maybe it'll spark you - or someone else to come up with some improvements - or a whole better model.
Or, we could try and get v7 to read the movies like v6 did... what are the symptoms?

In iphoto '08 in my Library section "Movies" doesn't show as a seperate folder so to find my video c;ips I have to go through 13,000 photos and yet in iDVD they do show up in the media area. How can I edit them and put them into specific files?
Tell me if a video has been recorded on its side! or even upside down, can you turn it round the proper way?
If you have Quicktime Pro you can rotate the video. There's a plugin for iMoive that can rotate clips. Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "rotate video" and you'll find several apps that can do the job and the plugin: MacUpdate: Search for '+rotate +video'

Time Machine and iPhoto library move
Hi,
I've been mulling over moving my iPhoto library (85gb) to an external drive for a while now to save some space on my iMac's internal drive. I wondered what affect this might have on my Time Machine backup as my TM drive has only 8gb available. Now, I know TM will delete old backups to free up space but I wondered if TM would even see this as new data because I will be pointing iPhoto to the new library, so will TM backup the entire 87gb, or will it see it as the same library and only backup new, or changed data from now on?
I haven't been able to find an answer to this so I just decided to go ahead and do it, and, I'm confused. I now have an old iPhoto library on my internal drive which is no longer used and will be deleted in due course, and a new, current library on my external drive. I included the volume in the TM prefs and started a backup.
TM came up with this: 29/10/2013 16:08:06.573 com.apple.backupd: 192.08 GB required (including padding), 8.14 GB available
Why does it require 192gb? it then preceeded to (slowly) delete older backups, freeing up a small amount of space with each one. After deleting about 15 backups, I stopped it cos I didn't like where it was going.
Then, I decided to exclude the new volume just to see what would happen. This time it said: 29/10/2013 18:16:48.085 com.apple.backupd: 101.39 GB required (including padding), 31.81 GB available
Where has this 100gb come from?
Edit: I have just noticed that I renamed the old library to differentiate it from the new one. Would that have triggered TM to backup the whole library again? Even if that's the case, that's 85gb, plus the new volume, another 85gb, totalling 170gb. So why did it need 192gb for both and 100gb for one?
Not sure what to do now as I don't really want to lose too many more old backups.
Can anybody help me work this out? And, once worked out, will TM allow me to 'go back' in iPhoto to restore from previous backups?
ThanksYes I'm aware of the Pondini site and its extremely helpful, but in this case it doesn't answer my question.
To update the original post, I renamed my old library back to 'iPhoto Library' and, I guess, because it hadn't completed a backup of the library with the 'iPhoto Library - Old' name, it the potential 100gb backup reverted back down to around 7gb.
So, lesson learned; do not rename the iPhoto library.
