IPhoto 6.0.5 opening at start-up

iPhoto 6.0.5 consistantly opens on start-up. The card-reader is not connected. How do I stop the application from launching? Is this a bug or normal responce?
Thanks for any help.
G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Updated processor 1Ghz, Video and Audio cards.

Check your System Preferences under 'Accounts/Login Items'. IF iPhoto appears there, click on it and then the '-' sign below.
Alternatively, if the iPhoto icon appears in the dock below, right click (or Control-click) on the icon and, if the 'Open at Login' appears, select it to remove the option.

    How do I stop a program from opening at start up? (iPhoto)
    Also, my mac recently shuts down completely while in sleep mode.  Any reason why this happens?

    If the app is opened when you shut down the Mac, untick Restore windows when logging back in. Open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items and delete iPhoto

    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. .

  • IPhoto faces playing the slide show started saying "alert photo can't be opened because couldn't find original

    Iphoto faces playing the slide show-Started sayin "alert photo cant be oppened because it couldnt find the original.What does that mean?

    do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library (that option is unchecked)

  • IPhoto Crashes everytime I open it

    Hello,
    I was wondering if someone could help me out here?
    iPhoto '11 (Latest update) keeps on crashing everytime I open the program, so I have to force quit it.  This issue arose a few weeks ago even before any Apple iLife updates.
    I initially thought the crashing issue was related to the MobileMe and Facebook syncing part of iLife, because when it crashes as soon as I open iPhoto and I disconnect my MBP from any network connection (wired or wireless) iPhoto started up ok. When I discovered this I deleted ALL sharing connections in iPhoto so that it shouldn't need to access any of my online profiles (MobileMe, Facebook etc) apart from the location/maps part of iPhoto. This hasn't fixed the issue.
    I have done a complete reinstall, updated iPhoto to the latest release and started my iPhoto library database again from scratch. I added some photos from my gig last night and it is the only album in my iPhoto library. Now everytime I start up iPhoto it's crashing again everytime, and the only way I can get it to start is to 'repair and rebuild' the iPhoto database EVERYTIME to get it to work. This takes the biscuit considering that my iPhoto library is brand new and only has 62 photos in it.....
    I've also tried other things such as repairing disk permissions, and database permissions when I open iPhoto.
    I don't know what else to to do now, it's really disappionting becasue I can't share my photos and I can't even extract then from the iPhoto database. Whats going on Apple??
    I refuse to reinstall OSX because it was only reinstalled and updated in the last 7 days.....
    Does anyone have any light they could shine on this issue or is anyone else suffering from this fustrating problem?
    Thanks guys,
    Connor

    Looks like i have a similar problem to this except I am running OSX10.7.4 and it was working up until I had the latest software update. Still awaiting a reply to my question. This is my second try at this forum. Hopefully I will have more success the second time around.

  • Iphoto version 7.1.5 auto start problem

    Every time I turn on my imac (Mac OS X version 10.5.8), iphoto (version 7.1.5) automatically starts up.  How do I stop iphoto from opening every time I start my computer?  Thanks

    Do you have any storage devices connected taht are formatted FAT? iPhoto sees these as cameras - so if yu do the solution is to disconnect ehm or to set the iphto ction when a camera is connected to do nothing in the iPhoto preferences
    If that is not it look in your start up items in yuor accountin the system preferences
    And right click on iPhoto in the Dock an be sure that it is not set up to opn at start up

  • IPhoto Libary cannot be open

    I have recently returned from a trip and tried to organise my photos in order to publish, print, etc.
    My MBP has a 256Gb SSD and the MacOS partition is pretty small (dumb choice from me, I know) so I created a new library on the NTFS partition.
    After importing photos from cameras and iPhone, created events, albums, flagged hundreds of pictures, etc I tried to create a slideshow with 660 pictures. The slideshow export took ages and eventually hanged so I had to cancel the export but the CPU was still 100% from the slideshow daemon (I wonder why the export didn't use more CPU's).
    I quit iPhoto just to let the Mac breathe and when I tried to reopen it it wasn't possible: it asks me which photo library to use, I pick "Other Library...", navigate to the library folder and try to open the previously created library but it doesn't do anything. I don't get an error message (as in other similar posts) and the Open button flickers when I double-click the library or press the Open button.
    This are the methods I tried to make it work:
    open iPhoto with Command+Open, Command+Option+Open, Command+all modifiers+Open but it still opens with the same window: choose library (no option to rebuild, verify, etc)
    double-click the library hoping to run iPhoto. In Pathfinder it just goes into the package contents, in Finder it runs iPhoto which asks me what library I want to use. Really? iPhoto got started by clicking right that library that I need. 
    moved the library to a freshly formatted drive with a MacOS partition (HFS+, extended, journaled) but with the same result: it cannot be open
    restarted Mac (I come from the Windows world )
    tried iPhoto Library Manager: it opens the library, sees every photo and movie but no events, albums, etc. I tried to rebuild the library but it creates a new one with no events, flagged photos, etc.
    I have another library created on the same NTFS partition with pictures from a previous trip and I cannot open it either.
    How can I find out what is the problem, what is the error or the "thing" that doesn't allow iPhoto to open my libraries even from the Mac partition? I looked into the console log but nothing shows up when I try to open a library.
    How can I recover my photos and the way I organised them?
    This is very annoying as I lost 2 full days trying to publish my photos and got stuck with this issue.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    PS: I have iPhoto 9.5.1, Mavericks 10.9.4, MacbookPro Retina

    Is the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag set on the external drive?
    This are the methods I tried to make it work:
    open iPhoto with Command+Open, Command+Option+Open, Command+all modifiers+Open but it still opens with the same window: choose library (no option to rebuild, verify, etc)
    After moving the library you need to select the library in the Finder to launch into the First Aid tools, not click the iPhoto icon. iPhoto needs to be directed to the library.
    Select your moved library on the external drive with the correct formatting, hold down the ⌥⌘-keys, double-click the library to open in iPhoto, hold down the keys, until the First-Aid panel opens.

  • IPhoto 09 won't open

    I upgraded to iPhoto 09 from 08 about 6 months ago. Everything was working fine. Then I upgraded to iPhone 4 from iPhone 3g and it was working fine for a few months until my iPhone started going wacky. So I took my iPhone in for a checkup at the genius bar. After trying to get it to work they decided to give me a new iPhone 4. Then I started taking pictures/videos with the new iPhone, when I plugged it into my Macbook Pro to sync it and upload all the photos things started getting screwy. My iPhoto would try to open but would never quite open. It would get hung up on a white screen. The only way to shut it down was with force quit.
    Is their anyway of restoring my iPhoto without loosing any of the many hours of organization that I've already put into it? I've spent many, many hours organizing photos and faces. It would really stink if I had to do all that over again.

    Start with this basic fix: try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (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.

  • Everytime I attempt to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying, "iPhoto is unable to open this library," and the only option if gives is to quit. How do I get it to open?

    When I select iPhoto to open the application, a message comes up saying, "iPhoto is unable to open this library," and the only option available is to quit. I don't know what library iPhoto is attempting to open, but all I want to do is just start iPhoto over from scratch.

    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' to find out what Library is in question. Use the 'Create Library' option to make a new one.
    To try and repair the damaged one:
    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.

  • Fresh install of iPhoto 11 won't open - say's it needs update.

    Hi,
    I need some help here. I just re-installed my MBP (mid 2010) with OSX Lion, got all updates. After that i installed my iLife 2011 software bundel, and got every update downloaded and installed. Rebootet and then tried to start iPhoto (for the first time since my re-install). Now it says: "In order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the lastest version." Problem is, that i allready did this before i tried to start iPhoto - So i'm stuck. iPhoto has been installed from the iLife 2011 bundel DVD, and not from the App Store.
    Hope some of you can help me. I have searched the discussion forum, and i all i find is some guides aboout deleting som cache files, but these does not exsist on my mac, because iPhoto has never beed opened.
    Ps. I made a backup of my iPhoto library, before i did the Lion reinstall - so nothing is lost.
    (sorry for my bad english, i'm from Denmark )
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    I had the same happen to me, i updated with an ilife11 dvd, iphoto now won't open says i need to do the software update but everything is up to date when i run the update.  I tried to do the steps you suggested above, but i can't 'get info' on iphoto to see what version i have, when i try to click the icon the same little box pops up saying i need to update to latest version, run software update now to install.  I did try searching another way and it looks like i have iphoto 9.0 on Mac and last modified last night when i did what i thought was an ugrade. i was under the impression i was upgrading my current iphoto 9 to iphoto 11 when i did the ilife dvd.  (im computer illiterate) anyhow i can't open iphoto now and im wondering if i've just lost all my pictures that i've never backed up, at this point i could care less about upgrading to the newest app, i just want all my photos back.  Do you think i should put the dvd back in and try it again or will that just mess everything up now (new apps and other updates that came on that dvd seem fine when i open them) 
    I'm using a Mac OS X version 10.6.8

    Any work you do in Lightroom is in the catalog. It is impossible to use Lightroom without a catalog.
    In addition, your photos are filed in a specific location, which is determined when you import the photos (this may be a location you have specified or it may be the default location chosen by Lightroom).
    So ... unless you specifically choose to delete your photos, your photos have not been deleted. To find them, open Lightroom and select File->Open Recent and select each catalog shown there until you find the one with your 170 photos.
    And now ... a word to the wise: as gvb279 and Keith said, you absolutely need to stop doing whatever it is you are doing and learn the basics of Lightroom. You are clearly in need of such basic understanding. In addition to the links given above, there are many valuable instructional tutorials here: Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 | Adobe TV

    Attempted to create a slideshow (version 9.3) and get the dreaded spinning ball that will not go away; iphoto locked up when open.  how do I get rid of the ball.  Have forced quit seveal times and opens with the spinning ball.

    Make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup copy of the library (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4
    Launch iPhoto and try again.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    I always recommend backing up the iPhoto Library file under your Pictures folder first.
    You can try removing the iPhoto Preference file in your User Library folder. Close iPhoto. If you are using Snow Leopard (10.6) click on Go in the Finder menu bar. Click on Library. If you are now on Lion (10.7), you'll have to hold Option key while clicking Go to see the Library selection. Once here, find the Preferences folder. In here, look for the following:
    com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Move this file to the desktop. Start iPhoto and see what happens. If it is working, you can delete the file you moved to the desktop. This should not delete any photos, but will reset iPhoto as if it's the first time you are opening it (so your preferences you set may need to be set back).
    If this doesn't work, let me know.
