Iphoto 8 freezes/hangs right after I launch the application.
Every time I try and launch iphoto 8 the application freezes/hangs.
When a slide the arrow pointer anywhere on the iphoto8 screen the multi colored timer ball spins continuously and then I have to force quit the application.
Why is it doing this and what do I have to do to fix.
I'm using Leopard, however it also acted up while running Tiger
please help
thanks.

The Preference files (.plist, in your Home/ Library / Preferences folder) record User choices for every app. This will include such things as the default font, or the colour of the background, even the place of the window on the screen.
When you launch an app it looks to this file to configure itself to your choices. If there's a problem - minor corruption for instance - then it can't complete launching.
One of the basic troubleshooting steps on any app is to trash the plist file. It forces the app to recreate it - which it does using the default settings.
How to prevent it occurring? Avoid crashes, force quits, minor disk corruption... But sometimes things just happen.

My iPhoto hangs right after it opens - i can open it remotely but not on my main machine
My iPhoto hangs right after it opens - i can open it remotely but not on my main machine
Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner. -
Hi there,
Can someone please help. My IPhoneS stopped working right after I did the latest update which was yesterday. Now, the phone does not work at all. When turned on, the screen shows a picture of USB cable pointing to the ITunes logo. I have tried just about everything, and cannot get it working. It's like it is frozon. My ITunes does not recognize my device. Cannot dial out either. I desperately need to get it working. Can someone please help me.
Thanking you in advance for your help. :-)The update did not do anything.
AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network. -

When i sync my iphone 3gs, my iTunes hangs up after iTunes sync the apps, so i can't put music or videos etc. on my divice...
Why is that soCheck the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.

Hi sethup,
Have you uninstalled Acrobat 8 before installing Acrobat 11?
Did the installation for Acrobat 11 go without any errors?
If yes then it might be an issue with the licensing. We might have to check the amt3.log file.
Do you face the same issue when you try to launch the application in the root user account as well.

i just downloaded ilife every things working fine except, when i try to open iPhoto it said ''You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. i tried to re-download it but my password didn't work for some reason. HELPPPP!!!
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library 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.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
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.
Happy New Year -
Acrobat 8 Professional crashes 10 seconds after you start the application xp
Acrobat 8 Professional crashes 10 seconds after you start the application. I have adobe acrobat 8.1 running on a dell vostro 1400 vista.
Are you sure it's crashed and not 'temporarily-frozen'?
I'm having this issue with Acrobat 9, in which it launches and runs long enough to page down two times and then stops responding for about 30 seconds.
