IPhoto 9.4.2 constantly freezes when I try to look at photos or videos

iPhoto 9.4.2 freezes when trying to open photos or videos preview show up fine but actually opening them to zoom or opening the video causes a freeze and many time it also causes a crash...
Ps I already rebuilt the library... Didn't work any other ideas would be helpful.

If you have gone through all 4 iPhoto first aid steps, and the issue is not resolved, you can try one other option. It involves downloading a 3rd party software entitled "iPhoto Library manager". You may find it will help.   If it does not, then we would use the restore from time machine.
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
          2. Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
          3. 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
          4. In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
          5. Click on the Create button.
If we need to use time machine........
- close all open applications
- in the top menu bar, select "go", then select home, then pictures
- here you should see your current "problem" iPhoto Library
- click on it once, hit return on your keyboard, and it will allow you to rename your iPhoto Library. I suggest you rename it to iPhoto Library old
- once renamed, open it, then go to "file / switch to library".
- in the new screen, select to "create a new" iPhoto Library
- by default, it will call it "iPhoto Library" and place it in your pictures folder
- when this new library launches, it will be totally blank and have no images in it
- quit iPhoto
- launch time machine
- in the right side, go back to a previous date. This will make the finder window from this date come to the forground. In that window, select your pictures folder, then click on the "iPhoto LIbrary" once, then click restore in the bottom right
- you will get a dialogue stating that "there is already something there called iPhoto Library". Tell it to replace it

Im using my Ipad 2 and sometimes when I try to look a photo on facebook te screen turns black

Hey !
I was using my Ipad normally when I tried to look some photos on facebook and suddenly the screen turns black, but everything else works good, i just need to press "back button " and I can turn to Facebook and the screen looks normal.
I would really appreaciate if you can help me.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 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 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. .

TS3988 I have no trouble with email but IPhoto will not recognize my server when I try to send a photo to a friend. Anyone else have this probelm ...a solution??? N

I can email but IPhoto does not recognize my server to enable me to send email photos. Any advice? N

I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes. Now it's dad and husband, every time! Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails.
And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered". So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point. I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions. (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck. I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

IPhoto freezes when I try to create a photo book

iPhoto 9.5.1, MacOS X 10.9.5
I create photo bokks with iPhoto since 2006 and never had a problem with that. The last book I created was just 2 months ago.
Now I tried to create another photo book with appr. 300 photos, but whenever I click "New Book" iPhoto will show the beachball for 10 or more minutes. When I quit iPhoto and restart it, it will ask to repair the mediathek because that is corrupted. However, even after the repair I cannot create a new book!
Please help!

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists when trying to create a new book. Does it?
NOTE: FWIW I prefer to create a new library for each book I make because that way I can isolate it from the day to day usage that my main library gets. It helps isolate it from accidental deleting of photos already in the book in case I want to order another copy at a later date. The library is small enough that it can be "archived" to a CD or DVD disk. I use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to transfer the photos I want in the book from my main library to the book library.
You will still need to determine what is wrong with your main library.

Iphoto freezes when I try to print a picture

Why does iPhoto freeze when I try to print a photo? I have to force the program closed.

That was a test to determine if the original library was damaged and it was. You did follow the next step but there's one more fix you can try on your damaged library:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Contacts constantly freezes when opening an intelligent group

Hi,
my Contacts-App constantly freezes when I try to open an intelligent group (which seems to be emtpty). I've deletet the prefs with no effect…
can anybody help?

Back up all data.
Quit Contacts or Address Book if it’s running. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloudpreference pane.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it (command-C) to the Clipboard:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, paste (command-V) into the box that opens, and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
Relaunch the application and test. If there’s no improvement, quit and put back the item you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item.

ITunes Freezing when I try and Close it

I just downloaded iTunes 7 for my Windows PC and it constantly freezes when I try and shut it down. This problem only happens when I am in the middle of playing a song and I try to shut iTunes down. What happens is the windows Dr. Watson error message comes up and asks me if I want to send the error. Does anybody else have this problem? If so any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,
Tyson Moore
Windows XP Pro

I'm running XP and, after upgrading to iTunes 7, I'm finding it freezes often, too. And crashes, with the option box to send an error report soon following. The kicker is that, after this, I've been getting a "blue screen of death". Upon rebooting, Windows sends an error report concerning the "blue screen", indicating that it's some kind of unidentified driver that's causing the crash -- something that was NOT happening prior to installing iTunes 7. So, yeah, I'D like an answer, TOO.

HT2638 Iphoto freezes when I try and delete a large amount of photos

Iphoto freezes when I try and delete a large amount of photos. I have tried all of the first aid options. Can I only delete small batches? I am trying to organize and edit my 16K + library and deleting small batches is very time consuming. And iphoto is running very slow... Is there simply better software for a large library or tips to erase these photos?

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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

Photos app freezes when I try to use share-message

This has been going on with iPhoto since one of its updates about 6 months ago. And now with the new Photos app on my MacBook Pro same thing: when I try to share a photo by sending an iMessage the app freezes. I can maybe get a recipient name entered in, but the little pop up box is totally grayed out and it freezes and the whole Photos app freezes. I have to quit then app in order to get out of the mess. Can anyone offer some help? Thanks.
