IPhoto 9.2.3 - Not responding after tried open all Libraries (Spinning Beach ball)

For some reason, I created new library after I pressed Option then Click on Create New Library so I had two of them. Since iPhoto 9.2.2 and iPhoto 9.2.3, I opened and still get the spinning beachball for hours. Even I tried updated & upgrade photos and database ... still it wouldn't work. Does anyone have an advice or have simliar problem?
Thanks!

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. .

  • Application not responding after trying to open event

    Hi,
    I just updated to Final Cut 10.1.3
    I was working on a project in final cut and my computer crashed. When I restarted my computer and Final Cut, it seemed ok. It opens on the project I was working on before the one I was working on when it crashed. When I go to scroll up in the event, towards where the most recent projects are, eventually I get the spinning rainbow of death and then final cut stops responding. I have forced quit and restarted it but the same thing keeps happening. When I open other earlier projects in the same event, they seem to open and work fine.
    I tried 'Update Projects and Events' but when I click 'update all' it says that it can't find anything to update.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Cat

    I am having the same problem;
    I am working on a project in FCP 10.1.4 and every now and then, usually after making an edit, FCP starts to reload projects and then hangs when trying to load one of them (not always the same one).
    I have to force quit, restart deleting preferences, then after a while it happens again.
    In the Activity Monitor there are two precesses not responding - LaunchDaemon and  Codec32BitTool.

    I tried to update my IPhone 5 to the latest version of ITunes, but it didn't complete the update neither operate as normal it is now dead! My IPhone is16 MB, My laptop is 13 TB and  4 GB processor speed

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Imovie not responding after trying to import big file.

    I have been attempting to import a large file onto imovie, and just before the file is finished and says that it will be imported in "under a minute" It will say that imovie is not responding. I've tryed restarting my macbook, and trying again with the same result. This is frustrating because I have uploaded a lot of home videos in which I need to edit and get onto dvd. please help!

    I have been attempting to import a large file onto imovie
    How do you define 'large'? iMovie is designed to handle DV streams running at 13GB per hour!
    What is the source of those files? What kind of files are they?
    How would you be able to find out how much space you have free?
    That really is pretty basic stuff. Every time you open a new Finder window it will tell you at the bottom of the window!
    You don't say what Mac you have, and why are you still on 10.4.10 instead of updating to 10.4.11?
    For iMovie to work at its best you need at least 20GB of free space.

  • Firefox not responding after I open it up

    Firefox has been working fine for me and then out of the blue it stopped loading up. I clink on the icon to launch the browser and it opens a window but the web page never loads up. If I attempt to click on anything in the window it says 'not responding.' Google Chrome works fine, but every time I attempt to open Firefox the same thing happens. I have tried creating a new profile and uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox. The later worked for a while, but then Firefox suddenly started not responding again. I have also tried creating an exception for my Windows Firewall for Firefox and that does not seem to have helped either. Because of this I cannot get into Firefox to reset my browser or do anything else in Firefox, it is completely unresponsive after the window initially opens.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Computer not responding after PR8 opens

    Hello, my source files are from a Panasonic HD camera, I am running Adobe Premiere Elements 8, my laptop specs are
    I have a Dell laptop Intel (R)Core (TM) 2 cpu, T7600@ 2.33 GHz, RAM 2.00 GB
    OS: Windows Vista
    Version: Adobe Premiere 8
    I open the project and about 30 to 40 little icons show up on my bottom right hand tool bar, ffdshow audio decoder and ffdshow video decoder. This has not happened on previous projects. When I try and do some work the screen fades and it is hung up and will not respond. It gives me a message when I first open the project that my system memory is low, but I still have 34 GB's of 110 GB's space left
    Any ideas
    Thanks for your help
    Allan

    Are you saying that the program does completely open or it doesn't?
    If the program opens, it could be that your AVCHD video files are slowing it down (since you've got a pretty marginal machine for editing AVCHD). Though I can't say for sure because I don't know what model of camcorder you're using and which video format it shoots in.
    I'm also not sure what you mean when you say "30 to 40 little icons show up on my bottom right hand tool bar". Can you post a screen shot of this so we can see it?

  • ITunes "not responding" after trying to sync anything to my iPod Photo

    I have tried not using my dock, switching between USB and firewire, and verified that iTunes is not sucking up strange amounts of CPU time or memory. It just becomes non-responsive and the only solution is to force quit the application. iTunes functions "normally" if I put syncing to manual and DON'T TRY TO SYNC. As soon as I do it goes unresponsive again. I already wiped out my iPod thinking the problem was with my iPod and now my iPod is empty with no way for me to download my library back onto it. This problem occurred the first time I tried to use iTunes at all after 7.0.2.

    I was having problems with synching when iTunes would check for new episodes for my podcast subscriptions (which I had set to check every hour) immediately after I downloaded version 7.0.2. I tried everything, even going back to version 7.0.1 but to no avail. Each time I'd open iTunes I'd have to quickly go to the preferences and change it to "manual" before it would start checking for updates on the podcasts. If I didn't get there fast enough, I'd force quit and open it again. I finally saved all my podcasts from my iTunes Music Library in a folder on my desktop then went back and deleted them all and resubscribed. I reset the preferences to "check every hour" and it solved the problem. So, I'm assuming that there was some problem with one or more of the podcasts and deleting and resubscribing reset whatever it was which fixed the problem. Not sure if this will work for you but hope it does.

  • Iphone will not respond after trying to put it into DFU mode while in recovery mode.

    I tried to restore my iphone 4 and recieved error 21 in itunes, while in recovery mode I tried to put it into DFU mode and then it turned off and wont turn back on or be recognized by itunes or pc. I tried doing a hard reset and no luck. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • Power Mac G4 MDD 1.25GHz DP often completely locks up in the first few minutes after booting, sometimes with the spinning beach ball, normally with a very high pitched whining noise.

    Over the last few months my Mac has developed a worrying habit.
    Within the first few minutes of starting it up (perhaps on average about 50% of the time) it will completely lock up. This may happen at the Log In screen (if I start up the Mac & then leave it for a while) or during normal use.
    Often the first symptom is a very high pitched (but quiet) whining noise that seems to come from the loud speaker on the front of the Mac. The pointer may freeze at this point, or it may still be moveable for 5 or 10 seconds before it freezes. It sometimes turns into the spinning beach ball during this. Once locked up the only way I can restart the Mac is to hold down the power button on the front for a few seconds to completely reboot the machine.
    Once the Mac has restarted, it usually behaves normally, almost always for the rest of the day. The initial lock up & resulting restart only normally seem to happen the first time I use the Mac that day.
    The only peripherals attached to the Mac (apart from the display, keyboard & mouse) are an ADSL modem, a USB printer and a pair of Apple Pro speakers, and this setup hasn't changed since long before the problems started, so I'm confident that I can discount the peripherals causing problems. I doubt that unplugging the speakers, for example, would have any effect.
    I've run Disc Utility, OnyX and DiscWarrior without anything major cropping up. My instincts (I've been troubleshooting Mac problems for 16 years) tell me that I have a fundamental hardware problem, possibly with one of the 4 RAM DIMMs installed.
    The RAM configuration is shown in the attached screen grab.
    I'm considering removing one DIMM, running with 1.5GB of RAM rather than 2GB for a while, and repeating with a different DIMM removed each time until I can hopefully isolate the dodgy DIMM.
    Do people feel this is a sensible approach, or should I try something else first?
    Many thanks.

    Sometimes visual inpection will show bulging tops/sides., my guess is if it is it's most likely in the PSU.
    Possible cheap fix, You can convert an ATX PSU for use on a G4...

  • When I try to open firefox it says that it is not responding, after I disabled the adobe flash plug-in it worked, how do I get it to work with flash

    Since I updated my adobe flash player firefox keeps saying that it is not responding after I open it and it loads my home page, I disabled add-ons and went throught the process of figuring out which one it was and it was adobe flash, but without flash I cant access a lot of different sites, how can I fix this. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both firefox and adobe flash, but neither works!

  • Any fixes for system pref not responding after a few seconds in 10.7.4?

    I'm openning System Preferences both from the dock and by clicking the black apple, it opens and stops responding after about 5 second and the beach ball of death appears.  Tried restarting the unit, safe boot, verify and repair disk and permissions. Always the same issue. HELP!

    Running out of "moving parts"...
    Two (last?) things to try. 
    1. Instead of launching system preferences through the menu launch it explicitly by double clicking the app in /Applications.
    2. Temporarily rename ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost.  For example, stick a 'x' on the end of it ("ByHostx").  I don't want you to delete ByHost.  Only temporarily rename it.  This is the last possible directly-related system preference data that could have a problem. 
    If it still hangs after this I am not exactly sure what to pursue next.  It can't be a login item or launch agent since these are suppressed when booting in safe mode.  You deleted the system preference cache and plist.  ByHost is the only thing explicitly related in you home directory.
    One other thing would be to open Console for all messages and see if anything gets displayed when launching system preferences.

  • After trying every suggestion and uninstalling & installing with clean copy. I still get firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window

    I have tried to restore to an earlier period. uninstalled then reinstalled mozilla, and restarted numerous times, but whenever I try to open the message Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you much first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
    Can use some advanced insight on this.

    Try to use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.

  • IPhotto, my Iphoto is crash and not responding, what to do

    My Iphoto is hang and Not Responding when ever i open it, help please????
    cheers

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I to use iphoto library manager to save corrupted iphoto and each time it saves some and the first time it brings up iphoto, iphone goes into "not responding" mode.  Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2.

    I've had issues with my iPhoto "not responding" and as a result I am attempting to save my photos to an external hard drive using iPhoto library Manager but each time I start the program it saves some, and then when it starts iPhoto, iPhoto then goes into not responding mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2. I have completed all of the photo library first aid steps several times, but it makes no difference, iphoto eventually goes to "not responding."  Initial issues started with Time Machine back ups stopping because of iphoto. Thanks......

    Do you have a back up?
    If you're just trying to recover the photos you can do that much more simply:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Originals' or 'Masters'. (varies according to the version of iPhoto)
    Your photos are inside - these are the originals as imported from your camera.
