IPhoto 9.3 hangs on launch

Hi,
I have a problem opening iPhoto and I've exhausted every diagnostic measure I can think of.
The problem is that when I launch iPhoto it hangs.
If I open it normally it tells me I need to update my library and presents a dialog with 'cancel' or 'update'. At that point it hangs- I can't click either of the options.
If I open it holding down OPTION then it asks me what library I want to use.... and hangs without letting me select an option.
If I open it holding down CMD-OPTION then it presents me with a set of diagnostic options...and hangs before I can select any of them.
I have tried repairing permissions & verifying the disk- no problems found and still hangs on launch
I have tried removing the plist preference file out of the ~/Library/Preferences folder- still hangs on launch
I have tried deleting the iPhoto 9.3 app from the Apps folder and reinstalling it using the Mac App Store- still hangs on launch.
There's no message in the console about iPhoto crashing. It's obviously not a photo library problem as it crashes before it even opens the library and it can't be the app itself as I've re-downloaded it. I presume something external to iPhoto is having an issue but I have no way of finding out what that is.
Anyone got any good diagnostic steps I can take?

Hi, not sure if your able to help me, but I have the same problem with iPhoto. I suspect, like u did, it hass something to do with another app. Mail crashes every time I try and open it too. alas restarting my mac has not helped. Any ideas???

IPhoto 9.3 Hangs Indefinitely When Launched

I know a lot of other people are having this issue and few have found solutions.
It worked fine for a short period of time running 9.3, but crashed while in the application preferences. After that, it simply hangs at launch of the app. I've tried reinstalling the application, but it won't run with 9.3.
I am able to access this library via ethernet from another computer running iPhoto 9.3 and it works perfectly fine there.
I've rebuilt, repaired, reinstalled, reverted, and done just about everything that I can think of to get a fix. I expect that Apple is going to push a working 9.3.1 fix sometime within the next few days. For now, I'm without iPhoto.

From what it looks like now, iPhoto 9.3.1 solves the issue with iPhoto not being able to open the library. A couple things that should be noted about my situation is that I rebuilt the library from iPhoto while it was hanging to see if it would fix the hang. It didn't fix the hanging issue in 9.3. By doing this, it likely caused the issue with keyword tags and rotation that I'm having now. Smart albums still retain what they had in them before when based on a keyword tag, so it shouldn't be too difficult to retag them. The rotation issue seems to be primarily with my iPhone and a Nikon DSLR. Hopefully this information will help you.

Please clarify:
What is your iPhoto version?
And what do you mean by "not responding"? Is iPhoto hanging and showing the spinning beachball?
Can you launch iPhoto, if you hold down the options key while launching and select or create a different library?

Just downloaded Firefox 6.0 and have restarted 4 plus times, but it continues to hang while launching. I cannot open new windows, change any settings, or do anything but Force Quit. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. How do I get past this hang?

Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

I clicked on my iphoto app, it wouldn't launch. Then I accidentally removed the app from my dock. How can I recover iphoto?

The good news is that even though you've apparently deleted the application itself as well as its icon in the Dock, neither of those deletions will have affected your iPhoto library or the pictures in it. You would have to have deleted that separately for your pictures to be gone now.

Developer Server 6.0 hanging when launched from Netscape 4.6

Hi, simple question to ask about OAS and Developer Server.
My Developer Server 6.0 hanging when launched from Netscape 4.61,
I am currently running...
Pentium PII 200Mz running NT sp5
Forms Server version 6.0.5.31.0 (Patch 3 applied)
OAS version 4.0.7.1.0 (Patch applied)
Jinitiator 1.1.7.18
Netscape 4.61 browser
I have all the latest versions of everything that is available,
I have followed the instructions.
I successfully connect to the OAS admin utility and have setup
all the virtual to physical directory mappings under the default
listener www. I successfully start all website OAS services.
I have Forms server successfully started up as a process
listening on port 9000.
I have two statics html files created:
a) with Jinititator 1.1.7.18
The very first time I connected to this static html file it
installed Jinitiator as expected. The Forms server splashscreen
then appears.
Jinitiator then starts up successfully, no errors appear in the
Java console. This has proved I am talking to the listener and
my virtual directory mappings are working.
At this point there is a lot of disk activity and then all
stops, the splashscreen remains and appears in the discussion
area:
FRM-9999 cannot access "koala.ilaco.gov.bo:9000" and
a series of java exceptions
I am pointing to the correct java directories (I think)
b) with out Jinitiator
When I try to call using URL with Netscape 4.61 I get a
message on the status bar saying...
Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main class oracle/forms/engine/Main
got a security violation: Method verification error
Can you help ?
If you know the answer, please let me know as soon as
posible.
Thanks for the answer....
Rgds,
Polo

I respond your email, with my actual server configuration my
problem is now: I get the splash screen and after form is hanged.
My server configuration is:
Compaq PC, with Pentium II, the software is:
- Windows NT, with Service Pack 5
- Oracle Application Server, v.4.0.7.1.0 Enterprice Edition,
pathset 1
- Developer Server v.6 patchset 3
- My browser in this machine is Netscape 4.61
- Jinitiator 1.1.7.18 is also used.
My developer server is installed and running on the same machine
that OAS is. I am using other browser in other machine (IE5)
and trying to connect to the OAS on the first machine.
My problems begin when I launch ifsrv60.exe. I copied
ifwcm60.dll v.6.0.5.0.2, and other files required in the %
ORACLE_HOME%\bin
I forced listener Developer Server Port (
c:\orant\bin\ifsrv60.exe -listen port=9000 )
Now, I can connect with this process, with the following line:
telnet koala 9000. The listener is working now.
I tried to work with my (NonCartride-static html)forms60 form on
WEB without Jinitiator, but I couldn't.
With Netscape, in the status bar: Applet
oracle.forms.engine.Main can3t stop ERROR
With IE5, I get the splash screen and after the forms is hanged.
If I use Jinitiator:
With Netscape, in the status bar: Oracle Jinitiato: applet
oracle.forms.engine.Main inited then form is hanged.
With IE5, I get the splash screen and after that, the screen
freezes and looks like the form is hanged.
Any further suggestions on this?

Organizer hangs on launch

Just installed PSE10 on Win7 Pro 64-bit. I can launch Organizer one time, and then subsequent launches hang mid-launch. It appears that the previous session didn't close as Organizer still shows up in Task Manager. If I end task, I can then launch Organizer one time before it starts to hang again. I've turned off all the auto-analyze features and also deleted my preferences (psa and status files), but problem persists. I'm using Trend Micro Security Agent (Online)...could this be causing the problem?

Photoshop cs5 hangs on launch when loading brushes

Photoshop cs5 hangs on launch when loading brushes. I have to do a hard reboot and reset the preferences. In the past 2 days I have had to do this 3 times. I have the latest drivers. below is my hardware. I am also running lightroom. I did not have this issue until after I installed the latest updates from the adobe website. Does anyone have any information on a fix for this problem Thank You for your time.
Nancy Cuppy

That's interesting...and troublesome.
I did some research on it this morning and found it was happening dell computers (maybe because there are lots of Dells!) and there is no one answer, as there is no common connections.
Have you rebooted again after the f8>last known...step? Does it boot ok? One problem is that check disk did not clear after running and there is a fix for that.
Did your computer come with Win7 installed? If so, I would contact that computer's support and see what they say.
That it started ok in "last known" is apparently unique as I found no reference to that. Normally one goes to Safe Mode and see if it starts ok, and if it does, then steps to clear the restart problem can be implemented.
The fact that no problems showed up at the first check is a good sign.
I hesitate to offer any other solutions as there are several, including actual Registry mods but that I wouldn't do.
Perhaps others here who experienced this as well could jump in.

Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch?

Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch? Someone used my computer under another account, and now my preferences seem to be changed. How do I fix it so iPhoto must me opened manually?

Some possibilities:
Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.
-- Have you tried each one?

CS3 Contribute hangs on launch.

Hi,
Our dept. supports several users who use Contribute CS3 on a
daily basis. I've been working with one user who has been having
issues launching Contribute. Upon launch, the splash screen will
show and then hang. On occassion, when he tried to connect to a
site, it will hang. This is an intermittent problem. When it does
hang on launch, the process may or may not be shown in task
manager. When it doesn't, the only option is to reboot the pc.
I have been troubleshooting the issue, but haven't found
anything as of yet. The one thing that I have noticed, is that when
Contribute launches, there is a message on the tool bar that says
"connecting to server". Can anyone out there tell me why it's
connecting to a server and what server that may be on launch? Is it
the server the end user has configured, is it checking for updates
from an Adobe server? etc... I know Contribute is a different beast
than DW, but at least in DW, you have to choose a site to connect
to first.
Since this happens on launch and also when he tried to
connect to his server, I'm thinking the problem is related. Is
there a way to stop the "connecting to server" on launch, to try
and determine if that is indeed the problem?
Thanks in advance for any advice, thoughts, suggestions, etc

I've found further data on this problem, which may or may not
be related.
I'm having a recent problem with Adobe Contribute CS3 for the
Mac. It appears that adobe Contribute CS3 will slow down to a crawl
and become unresponsive if it cannot connect to Adobe's servers on
startup. Even if I blow out all the preferences and support files,
"starting fresh" with no connections, this hang occurs.
Netstat shows:
Active Internet connections (including servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state)
tcp4 0 0 64.170.98.99.49645 192.150.18.101.80 ESTABLISHED
And top shows:
PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE
VSIZE
1221 top 3.9% 0:00.34 1 18 29 684K 188K 1276K 18M
1211 Contribute 98.7% 0:58.77 12 43267+ 477 27M+ 29M 54M+
444M
even after Contribute has been running for several minutes.
It seems that Contribute tries to connect to Adobe, and Adobe
hangs, and therefore Contribute hangs.
Is anyone else experiencing this or does anyone have any
insight on how to resolve this?
Starting up "offline" is fast, with no problems. This only
occurs in "online" mode.
Thanks!

IWeb Hangs on launch

Hi all-and Happy Holidays.
Just got a new iMac and been trying to use iWeb, but it hangs on launch every time. It gets to loading the templates and I get the beach ball spinning and have to force a quit.
Any clues? Here's my sys. configuration:
2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB memory
250GB hard drive1
ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB memory
Thanks for any help

Quit iWeb, go to Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.iWeb plist file and then relaunch.
If that doesn't do it, repeat the above, do a restart of your Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions and try again.

MAX hangs on launch

Recently, for no apparent reason (no recent software or hardware install/uninstalls) I found that MAX 3.0 was hanging whenever I tried to access the "Devices and Interfaces". I tried swapping around the test equipment, stripping down to a single instrument, and even swapping GPIB-USB-B units. I found that "Interactive Control" worked fine, but nothing would make MAX work.
I uninstalled all my NI software, rebooted, reinstalled, and now MAX hangs during launch; it doesn't even get to the main interface window.
Are there files or registry keys that may be corrupt? System is Win2K SP4.

Hi jsproul,
Try downloading the latest NI-488.2 drivers from
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/74B5B3FF1122C90F86256F4F00781783?opendocument&node=132060_US
This version installes version 3.1 of MAX. Be sure to uninstall your current version of NI-488.2 first and that MAX 3.0 is uninstalled.
Good luck,
