IPhoto 5.0.4 will not load

I currently have a ibook G4 with Mac OS X version 10.4.11.  It came with iPhoto 5.0.4 and up until the past two days I have not experienced any problems.  However currently the program will not load.  When I open it states it is loading the photos.  After 30sec to 1min the program will close on its own.  I received the message "the application iPhoto quit unexpectedly".  Also it slows any other programs which are running at the same time.  This problem occurs regardless if other programs are running or not.  I have updated the program and repaired the disk. Don't know what else to do.  I am able to gain access to my photos through my "my pics folder".  They are displayed in preview when I open them.  Can any one help??

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 home / 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.

  • My iPhoto has crashed and will not load up my picture and iTunes can not find my photos.  Why?

    My iPhoto has creashed and will not load up my pictures and iTunes can not find my picture either.  Why?

    Tell us more please - so it is hard to guess what might have happened.
    What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
    What happened directly, before you could no longer open your iPhoto library?
    Did you install or upgrade software?
    Did you import new photos to your iPhoto library?
    Are other programs also behaving buggie?
    Did you move your iPhoto library to a new harddisk?
    Did you run other programs, that might have changes the iPhoto library?
    How full is your harddrisk? Could it be, that you are running out of disk space?
    Anything at all, that could give us a clue ...

  • IPhoto Will not Load even after reinstall

    All of a sudden, iphoto will not load....I receive this error:
    Iphoto cannot be loaded because of a problem.
    Check with the developer to make sure that iphoto works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application.  Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
    I reinstalled iphoto from the disk (so now I have iphoto and iphone (original) .....i reboot and then try to access the new iphoto....same error.  iphoto library appears ok. I can still attach a pic via "photo browser" button in email.

  • 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.

    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. Any way to fix it ?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 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. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained 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.

  • I have iphoto 9.2.1 and it will not load. The loading screen after I click on the app keeps circling. Can anyone help Please?

    I have iphoto 9.2.1 and it will not load. After I click on the app it opens but the screen continousley tries to load. Please Help

    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. .

    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.

    When I try to email a photo as an attachment the file will not load?

    Open iPhoto, and then go to Preferences (under iPhoto in the menu bar).  Check these two things:
    1.  Under the "General" tab, make sure you have set "Email photos using" to "iPhoto".
    2.  Under the "Accounts" tab, be sure your email account information is set correctly.

  • My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into Iphoto.

    My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into IPhoto.  The computer will recognize the files once the download is complete, but fails to finalize.  My version of IPhoto is 7.1.5 and my computer is a Mid 2007 Mac Mini Model.  I have Light Room 5, but my wife and I are prefer IPhoto for basic download and sharing.  Is there a possibility  of getting the RAW files to download ?

    what version of the OS?
    You need Mt Lion and iPhoto '09 for your camera RAW support - OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats -
    If your computer will support tMavericks do the free upgrade to it and purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the App store

  • IPhoto will not load all the way

    Hey All,
    I have tried to get iPhoto to load on my MACBook Pro but it willl not open all the way.  iPhoto will load the toolbar but then stop.  I am running OS 10.7 and I have iLife 11.  I have done all of the updrades and it still will not load.  I finally got discusted and completely removed it and reinstalled it.  I also repaired all of my permissions with disk utility.  Please assist if you can, I am at my wits end.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Itunes will not load all photos

    Suddenly, my Ipad 3 will not load all of the photos that are in a folder onto the iPad into an album.  I have a folder of 58 images and iTunes recognizes that.  When I sync to add the images, itunes loads only 53 of them.  I have repeatedly attempted to sync and it keeps loading the 53 images.  I took the 5 images from the folder and put them in a new folder and Itunes will not load them.  These images are JPEG's and are not any larger of a file than the ones that did load.  I have even restored my Ipad and it still only will load the 53 images.
    I had this same problem the other day where out of 96 images, it would only load 76.  I have plenty of HD space available.  I am at my wits end.  All software is up to date now and still same issues so not sure what the problem is.  I've deleted the iPod Cache folders, have a fresh install of ITunes and still no luck.  HELP!

    You removed the cache from iPhoto - correct?
