IPhoto 9.6.1 printing still freezes

After the update today printing still freezes iPhoto.
I have 1 old print in the queue. If I try to print a new one or try to go to the printing queue iPhoto freezes.
Is there any way to delete the print in the queue or to fix this problem?

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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.

Acrobat PDF Printer STILL freezes when pasting filename into Save dialog

Ref: Acrobat Printer Freezes on Save when CTL+V is used
No change in Acrobat X. Printing system still freezes up entirely when pasting a filename into the Save dialog, when printing to Adobe PDF printer. Most often from Firefix (all versions through 28.0) but from other programs as well (also happens from MS Outlook 2010 32 bit).
Any chance of an update from Adobe?
Acrobat Pro X on Win 7 64 bit. Multiple systems exhibit same behavior.
Same issue occurs in Acrobat XI Standard.
Workaround is possible by manually typing in filename, or renaming, but clearly this should not be happening. If you forget, it requires a lot of steps (or a reboot) to try again.

If you copy text directly from FireFox (or Word, or pretty much any program, other than Notepad), and try to paste into the Save Dialog to save your PDF, guaranteed crash.
HOWEVER, if you paste the text into Notepad first, and then copy it again, you can then paste into the Save dialog no problem. This is why the "test" that the Adobe rep did to recreate the problem was pointless: He managed to re-create the one workaround method that DOES work, instead of actually trying to do things the way that were causing the issue to show up.
The problem appears to be related to any sort of "rich" text. Windows ignores the "rich" information and only keeps the text if you paste into a filename in the system. So Windows handles it just fine, it's Adobe's save dialog that can't handle it. Copied text from Firefox is usually pretty clean (IE is worse), but there must be some formatting remnants in there that are giving Adobe fits (instead of properly ignoring them). It may have something to do with 64-bit Windows and 32-bit Firefox and 64-bit Acrobat all coming together? Copying and pasting between 64-bit and 32-bit programs usually has no issues, but in this case, it does (although the 64/32 bit relation is pure speculation on my end).
But by "washing" your text through Notepad first, it completely strips it down to truly pure plain text, which can then be pasted into Adobe's Save dialog without a crash. This adds an extra step, and should be entirely unnecessary, but it does work. At least until Adobe fixes their program.

My computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings and even went to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple

my computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings, all of their diagnostics, and they even sent it to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple, especially iPhoto which is seems to refuse to load and then begins freezing up all over again. Anyone else have this problem. Other than this, I have had absolutely no problems with this computer. Now, it's a file of junk.

Hi Ronald ...
Have you checked lately to see how much free space there is on the disk? Especially since iPhoto freezes at launch ...
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
And make sure the OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click: Software Update
If you have anti virus software installed or are using third party Mac cleaning utiliites, that may be part and parcel of the your problems.

IPhoto '09 won't print

I have HP Photosmart 8150 and iPhoto wont print. Every other application prints like, Aperture,Safari,Preview but when i try to print with iPhoto the printing process freezes at 1%.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.
Next, log into another user account on your Mac and see if iPhoto can print there. If not then a reinstallation of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.

Print window freezes -

We're on a two-person WAN network with high speed cable service and printer connected to AEBS. Worked flawlessly for 2 years, now one computer still prints via Airport, but one does not. Email and internet connection are fine, so I don't think it's an Airport drop-out problem.
My computer takes me through the normal print process, the printer icon appears on dock with a document as if to print. Then nothing happens. Print window freezes,no blue progress line, not even an error message or exclamation mark. The print window just sits there and never does a thing and nothing prints.
The upgrade to 10.4.7. may be the genesis as at first we both had problems. When I reset the print system, used Printer Setup Repair program, installed the CUPS 1.2.1, which worked on one computer but not the other. The PSR program did tell me that a file is missing (System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices/PrintingServices) but it appears to me that such a file does exist in my System folder.
My USB printer connection works just fine.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Print dialog freezes randomly with HP driver

Using the HP LaserJet 3330 MFP - Gutenprint v5.1.3 driver.
Occasionally when I, or my colleagues with Macs, try to print from any application, Carbon or Cocoa to this particular printer, the print dialog freezes. By freezes, I mean that the dialog comes up, and you cannot click any button or change any text. The only solution is to kill the app then logout and log back in to get it to function again.
Any ideas how to solve this? It is repeatable on different computers, although we can't find a specific pattern to the occurrence.

Hi, altruist77
To narrow down the list of possible issues, it may be a good idea to boot the system into Safe Mode and try the same steps as before and see if the issue still occurs. The printers will not load in safe mode, so you would not be able to print to them anyway. But I am curious to see if the print dialog will still make the computer hang.
To boot into safe mode, either restart your computer or start from a cold boot. Begin tapping F8 at the splash screen and continue to tap the button until a menu appears. One of the options on this menu should be Safe Mode with Networking. Select this option and the computer will boot. Some features are removed from Safe Mode, so the display will likely look very different, but it is normal. Run the steps in this mode and see what happens.
Best of luck, and let me know how it goes

Not Running on the Event Dispatch thread, but UI still freezes

The environment: I am currently working on an application that requires some heavy lifting in response to user input on a UI. To do this I am using a version of SwingWorker that was backported from java 1.6 to java 1.5 in conjunction with a slew of custom threads.
The problem: I am currently running into an issue where I am not operating on the Event Dispatch thread (checked by doing a javax.swing.SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread()) but the UI is still freezing during this section. The operation involves a loop with about 2000 iterations and contains several file accesses. I have thought about how to make a new thread to perform the same operation, but I do not see how it would be any different since as it is I am not on the EDT. The call is being made from doInBackground and specifically the piece that is slowing things down is the File Accesses (2 for every iteration of the loop). At this point I am not sure how to go about resolving the issue. Any one have any suggestions?

I am not operating on the Event Dispatch threadThat is the problem. Use multiple threads for GUI, which should delegates to the EDT, and your app logic.

Unable to change Still/Freeze Frame Duration in User Pref Edit tab

Process-selected new project, change Still/Freeze Frame Duration in user preferences on the edit tab.
Need to change to 10 minutes. Typed in the field 00:10:00:00. When I hit ok, I get a beep and it defaults back to what was in there, 01:00:00:00. So tried a larger number 02:00:00:00. Same result. A beep.
So went ahead with project and opened a sequence and tried to change it from the viewer. Same issue.
Trashed prefs and started from scratch. Same issue.
Ideas?

Trashed prefs rebooted originally.
Process as follows for trashing prefs. First time through I had opened a project. This time did not.
Open Home Folder
Open Library
Open Preferences
Delete com.apple.finalcutpro.plist
Open Final Cut Pro User Data
Delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
Delete Final Cut Obj Cache
Delete Final Cut Prof Cache
Run disk utility to repair permissions.
Reboot.
Did not open a project this time.
Same issue but now I am able to put a slug in the time line and by selecting clip properties, can set the duration (was not able to do this before so some progress). Still can't set duration though as earlier described from edit tab on the user preferences page for still/freeze duration.

Thought I had it fixed, by iMac is still freezing sometimes on boot up

In an earlier post, I thought we had my iMac fixed but now it's still freezing up on boot up, occasionally.
Sometimes I'll just get a grey screen with no logo after the boot up chime, sometimes it'll take a good minute or two for my iMac to fully boot up, and sometimes it'll boot just fine.
Usually, when I get just the grey screen I have to use the Command-Control-Power button to reset the Mac just to boot.
Any ideas as to why? I've repaired the hard disk after the first time this happened and it found no errors.
I read my console log and there's nothing glaring out that looks like a massive error.
I have been getting the following errors, could they be the problem?
BootCacheControl: could not stop cache/fetch history: Cannot allocate memory
vmnet: Hub 1 does not exist, allocating memory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As a follow up to this.
I booted from CD and ran disk utility. I repaired the disk and said everything was A-ok. I tried to repair disk permissions and it the progress bar froze a 1/3rd of the way in saying "1 minute remaining" and never moved after that.
ideas?

My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

Sorted it out.

Can no longer print selected iPhoto photo with HP printer

iPhoto 09. Cannot print selected iPhoto photo with HP printer. I select the photo from iPhoto Library, go to File>print. The screen for Print comes up with another one on top of it that is blank but with text "Print...Processing 1..OK". Clicking OK prints from that screen "Print, Processing page 1" (on correct 3x6 photo paper in black!).
I have run Apple Software Update. Run Permissions with problems (one: "Permissions differ on Library/Printers/h...". Have reinstalled iPhoto which has left one icon on Dock and 3 on desktop: iPhoto 07-27-19.app; iPhoto.app; iPhoto Library that I don't know what to do with with them, so just use the one on the dock which opens iPhoto Library.
Believe I read that after reinstalling iPhoto, a plug-in (possibly third party plug-in for HP?) must be installed. I have updated my HP printer to latest driver.
Would you advise how I can print photos in my iPhoto Library again, and also get those iPhoto icons off my desktop which only confuse me. Thank you for your prompt attention.
Out-of-patience Great Gramma

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer: Still getting vertical white streak on copies

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer: Still getting a vertical white streak down pictures. I have changed the yellow/black printhead. One helps note says I should try cleaning the scanner glass. Where is the scanner glass, and how do I get to it?
Any other possible solutions for getting rid of the vertical line? Thank you.
This question was solved.

HI,
THis looks like a issue with the printer itself as it indeed is a vertical mis. A cartridge issue would cause a horizontal issue. What you can tru is cleaning the carriage rod, the metal bar that you see in the printer, and carefully clean the transparant strip. Do this very carefully as its pretty delicate and if it breaks the unit is ready for trash.
