IPhoto 6.0.3 crashes after double-click library thumbnails

Recently downloaded and installed the iPhoto 6.0.3 update via Software Update. Now, when I double-click on a thumbnail image, it pauses, switches to "viewer" mode, then immediately crashes without any kind of crash dialog; iPhoto just disappears.
Permissions are fine, and I've been pretty much crash free for months, until now.
Anyone else having the same issue? Any suggestions?

Bommer:
Try the following. It will create an new library from your current one so your old library will remain intact for future fixes if this doesn't work:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
It has worked where other fixes have not. Good luck.

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.

I cannot open my iphoto application. The minute I double click on the icon I get the rainbow which spins forever. I've used Applejack to repair the hd, but even that didn't work. I've getting into iphoto preferences..can't. 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. .

Adobe digital editions will not finish downloading ebook even after double clicking on hard drive .

ADE will not download and open the ebook automatially. After locating the .ascm (ebook) file on the hard drive and double clicking on that, it still will not open in ADE.

I did all that and after I close the ADE and double click on the file, ADE opens right up and it looks like it is downloading (very fast), but nothing shows up in the ADE.
How do I only get emails from you and not all the other people on the discussion?

Right click on the ACSM file or option click and go to Open With and select Other. You can then navigate to your Adobe Digital Editions and set the file to open with that. I would then recommend closing Digital Editions, if you have it open, and try double clicking the file. If Adobe Digital Editions opens then the file association is still correct. If you continue to have difficulties then I would recommend contacting the vendor you obtained the e-book from.

Iphoto is quitting unexpectedly when I double click a photo

iphoto is quitting unexpectedly when I double click a photo within iPhoto to enlarge it or scroll all the way to the top to the most recent pictures. Any ideas? I have the most recent version and all updates are done. HELP!

Now we try repair the original Library. Switch back to it:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Then assuming you're using iPhoto 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.

IPhoto09 v 8.1.2 Problem- Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo and changes to ! with black background. No photo, no slideshow.

iPhoto09 v 8.1.2
Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo before changing to ! with a black background.
No photo, no slideshow.
(Preferences set to magnify with double click)

That indicates that the iPhoto database has lost the connection to the high resolution photo - if you have not made any changes to the library (like cleaning uyp, deleting using thrid party software or form the all images list) then rebuilding will probably resolve it - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto database

PS does not start on double-clicking a thumbnail in BR

I face a very new problem:
Since 2 days I can't open a picture in PS6 by double-clicking the thumbnail in BR.
The right-button- menue shows for 'open with': FireFox,/ Mic.Office Pict. Manager, / Paint / Thunderbird. But no PS !
Can anybody give me a hint where to alter the right-button-menue ??
I know, there is a shortcut, but I am used to the doubleclicking, which is the most comfortable way.
Thanks for answers
Herwig

oh yes, that was it.
I tipped 'back to standard settings' and now it works.
thank you very much!

IPhoto 6.0.4 crashing after editing photo in Elements 3.0

After I edit a photo in Elements 3.0 (double-click to edit, make changes, save as JPEG, max quality, close) and click back to iPhoto, iPhoto crashes suddenly (no error message). Thereafter, I cannot view the photo I edited in full screen mode, nor can I view the photo adjacent to it in the roll. The link to the full-size photo, as opposed to the thumbnail, appears to be corrupt. Opening iPhoto while holding down shift+option doesn't help.

Steven:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
double-click to edi
I'm assuming you've setup iPhoto to use Photoshop Elements when you double click on a thumbnail, right?
Try downloading and running BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. See if that will help.
If not create a new library, import a couple of photos and try editing with PSE as you do in the other library. If that one crashes then it's either an iPhoto problem or a system wide problem. If it doesn't crash, try rebuilding the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and following the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all the options.
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.

Logic 8 crashing when double click on color in the color window

every time I try and create a custom color in the color window by double clicking on a color square logic crashes . Is anyone else seeing this? - sent apple crash report

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.

Lync 2013 crashes when double-clicking on contact to send IM...

I have a 64 bit Windows 7 machine. I have Office 2010 and 2013 installed. I am able to successfully run Lync 2013 and login to the Lync Server and see my contacts and their statuses online. However, every time I double-click on a contact name to send
them an IM i get a message saying "Microsoft Lync has stopped working" and Lync shuts down and restarts. When I debug the error using Visual Studio 2010 I get an "Unhandled exception... Access violation" error.
Here is what I know so far... It has to do with some incompatibility with Office 2010, because when I uninstall Office 2010, Lync 2013 starts working properly. (However, I need Office 2010 installed for supporting my clients. <sigh>)
Here's is what I've done so far...
1. Uninstalled Office 2013 = Lync 2013 still crashes.
2. Uninstalled Office 2010 = Lync 2013 works fine now.
3. Reinstalled Office 2013 w/out Office 2010 present = Lync 2013 works fine.
4. Reinstalled Office 2010 followed by Office 2013 = Lync 2013 still crashes.
5. I've also delete the sip_ folder to have Lync recreate it = that doesn't work either.
I have also updated Lync 2013 to the latest version update provided by Microsoft, but nothing seems to help.
My Event Viewer says the following:
Faulting application name: lync.exe, version: 15.0.4675.1000, time stamp: 0x54629b57
Faulting module name: lync.exe, version: 15.0.4675.1000, time stamp: 0x54629b57
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00f50000
Faulting process id: 0x1564
Faulting application start time: 0x01d024b896c56e36
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\lync.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\lync.exe
Report Id: 282d47fc-90ac-11e4-8ed2-14feb598d143
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi bihtime3,
I understand the inconvenience caused by this issue. I would like to confirm if you have tried the following scenarios.
1. Repairing Office 2013 after installing Office 2010.
2. Installing Office 2010 before installing Office 2013.
Best regards,
Eric

Bridge CS6 crashes with double-click, not with "open with"

Bridge cs6 keeps crashing whenever I double click on a file (jpg/psd/raw files).
After reading on this forum I couldn't find anything that worked for me.
The strange thing is, when I select a file right click open with photoshop CS6 (default) the file opens without any problem in Photoshop.
I have my default file associations of all (image) files set to photoshop CS6.
Any Ideas what can be the problem?
(windows 7 Ultimate and I have double-click edits camera raw setting in bridge marked off, and bridge crashes too when it is marked on)
Thanks!

Have made comments on this in Photoshop forum, but have not solved problem yet. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1184356?tstart=0
