IPhoto 9.6 on Yosemite--Opening Faces keeps crashing my system.  When it doesn't crash, it takes FOREVER to load.  Help!

Since upgrading to Yosemite & iPhoto 9.6, any time I try use Faces, it takes forever to load, then crashes computer.  How do I fix this? (besides not using Faces).

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

  • When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start.  Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!

    It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
    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.

  • It takes forever to load web pages. Is it possible I have a virus, even though I keep scanning for them?

    It takes forever to load web pages. Is it possible I have a virus eventhough I keep scanning for them?

    Your internet experience is dependent upon several different factors. I doubt a virus is the problem.
    1) when you type in an address or click on a link your service provider's computer must turn the URL into an IP address - the computer that does this is called a Domain Name Server (DNS). Many ISPs have slow DNS servers. If it takes a long time for the page to start loading but then loads quickly that might be your problem. OpenDNS provides a free DNS server that is very fast.
    2) the connection between your computer and router. I assume you are using WiFi - hold down the Option key and click on the WiFi menu item in the menubar. The RSSI indicates signal strength / quality and the farther away the value is from 0 the lower the quality. something between -60 to 60 is a good signal. If it is in the 80s or higher (or -80 or lower) you might try changing the channel and/or moving the base station.
    3) your internet connection. Go here to see how fast your connection is. Your connect speed will be dependant upon your WiFi connection, your ISPs internet service, and how fast the connection is between your city and the testing city. If you suspect your WiFi service is all or part of the problem you'll want to fix that before running the test - or connecting with an ethernet cable would bypass the WiFi problem. Of course you'll need a dongle (or a different computer) to test that way.
    My ISP is TimeWarner and at least for a while TW was notorius for having slow Domain Name Servers. I switched to OpenDNS and haven't looked back.

  • Firefox will not open on my mac; crashes whole system when I try to open!

    Firefox crashes my whole system when opening for my Mac 10.5.8

    Unfortunately, Firefox 4 requires either MacOS X 10.5 or 10.6. For 10.4, you can run Firefox 3.6 from here:

  • Itunes, iphoto, garageband, quicktime won't open, computer keeps freezing..

    Hello, I am new to this forum, and am hoping to get some help. In just the last couple of days my computer has began to run a bit funky, freeze, and the pinwheel spins. I have to restart the computer, and sometimes can't even access the force quit. Also, my itunes, garageband, iphoto, etc will not open, nor will quicktime. I just tried to play a youtube video and it shut down firefox. A couple of days ago, I had been transferring data from my computer to an external hard drive, trying to back up all my info so that I could do an update to leopard soon. I tried running Disk Utility which is located in Applications/Utilites folder and run a permissions and disk repair, but was only able to do a verify disk permissions and repair disk permissions. When I tried to verify disk, it said it could not complete due to "volume" error. The option to repair disc would not even open up as a prompt for me to try. I also noticed that the external hard drive was listed along with Macintosh HD as an option to chose to repair or verify. Here is the other thing that has been happening, and I'll try to word this as best I can. The little clicking sound that the computer makes when it is transferring data to the external hard drive won't stop. Even though I have the external disconnected, the sound that the computer made when I was transferring data, still is being made. It seems as though the computer still thinks that the external is still connected, like it is stuck, constantly making that little clicking noise, which is located in what seems to be the front right of the laptop. If anyone one has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thank you. J-NY

    "When I tried to verify disk, it said it could not complete due to "volume" error."
    Try running +repair disk+ from your *software install DVD* and afterwards, run +repair permissions+ *from your HD.*
    If the volume cannot be repaired, you will need to use a 3rd party utility. The following utilities you should consider looking into if you do not have any:
    DiskWarrior
    Highly recommended for *directory damage* repairs.
    TechTool Pro
    Multi-functional utility.
    Drive Genius Multi-functional utility.
    You will need to make your own decision on which to purchase. Read up on them on their websites because each does something a little different.
    You must use the versions that are compatible w/your OS system & keep the utilities updated to avoid damaging/harming/trashing your system.

  • After 2 or days use, if the browser is open, I keep getting "Not Responding" when I try to do any thing...I am up-to-date...version3.6.17

    Actually I had this problem before when I would leave my self on Facebook, but it went away with version 3.6.16, but since the update to 3.6.17, it's back and really annoying, gotta click the mouse 3 to 5 times just to get an action. the message" Firefox( not responding) appears at the top in the "Header". ...Yes , I'm keeping up-to-date with flash and Java. Help, Please...I LOVE this browser.

    To rule out Flash as a potential culprit, could you try one or both of the following:
    (1) Disable the Protected Mode feature of the Flash Player plugin.
    The following pages provide different ways to do that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.
    (2) Set Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate").
    This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it, which will help distinguish Flash-generated issues from page load and layout issues.
    To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
    ''Any improvement in these scenarios?''

  • My Mac keeps crashing (whole system) when I'm watching videos with Firefox, any idea why?

    Ok so I got a new mac and as usual install firefox which is my favorite browser, suddenly my computer started crashing, not just firefox the whole system froze and I had to reboot to make it work again, I didn't know what was happening until I noticed that said crashes happen when I was watching videos on firefox, I tried to use chrome and the issue was gone. So anyone has any idea why this is happening? I really would love to start using firefox again!

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
    If this does not fix the issue, you may need to reinstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer.

  • Photo elements wants to open last used dir location. When it doesn't exist or cannot access, it fails to open.  How do you set the default file location?

    Upset!!!
    Photo elements wants to open at the last used folder location. When it does not exist or unable to open that location. It FAILS to OPEN.
    Does not seem to be a way to set a default location or to change the location.
    VERY ANNOYING.
    How do you tell photo elements to always go to a set location rather than the last used location?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    I did a test as you suggested - open an image on a removable drive, close the editor and took the removable offline. When I next went to the editor, it opened OK.
    From the screen shot in message #5 above, I think that the fault is with SolidWorks. I am not familiar with that product but it seems to be a form of asset management and it can't open its database - is that on the removable?
    Normally, the editor does not open any files when it loads except for it program files and any addins. Could SolidWorks be an addin?
    See if this works to reset the preferences.
    Create a desktop shortcut for this file
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Hold down the Ctrl, Shift & Alt keys when you double click on the shortcut. Keep the keys held down and eventually a message box will pop up asking if you want to reset the preferences - you do.

    Re: My iPhoto will not longer let me hit the Facebook icon and immediately post to Facebook.  Now it says, "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?"  which you still can't do.  What gives?
    Dec 30, 2012 7:26 PM (in response to laurafromhamilton)
    Just solved it here after an hour+ of experimenting.
    Try this:
    • When you get prompted "Do you want to set up iPhoto of post to Facebook?" confirm and it will bring up your regular Facebook home page in asmall viewer window.
    • Go up to the upper right corner of the Facebook page and log out, then hit the "Close" button at the bottom of the small viewer window.
    • You'll probably get the same "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" prompt again. This time hit Cancel
    • Now try to share your pictures to Facebook again.  You'll get the "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" message again. Do it and this time hopefully you should get a prompt to login to your Facebook account. Enter your Facebook name and password. This should reset your connection.
    • If successful you should get a prompt from Facebook that you can close the page. Close it and fingers crossed, all should work again. That's what worked for me.
    See if it will work for you.

  • IPhoto takes forever to load?

    Is there a reason that I photo takes the longest to load? I'm averaging around the 2 minute point from launch to actual function. And it is sluggish while it is up. Thanks

    Here are some things you can do to speed up loading:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last option.
    Click to view full size
    2 - do not close iPhoto in the Photo mode with Event Titles not displayed and all events closed.
    3 - turn off all sharing in iPhoto's Sharing preference pane.
    4 - in iPhoto's Web preference pane set Check for new photos to Manually.
    5 - turn off Show item count in iPhoto's General preference pane.
    6 - make sure you have a minimum of 10GB of free space on your boot drive.

  • Please help!  I have been trying for a week now to update and get my music on my phone but iTunes just keeps telling me backing up...for hours on end.  There's nothing to back up because it's a new phone and when I cancel the backup that takes forever too

    When I plug my phone in it says it needs to update to the new software so I try to update it and it just says backing up.  Someone please help me.

    No one here works for Apple. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. You tend to get from this forum what you bring to it. If you come in ranting and raving and saying you're going to throw your iPhone out the window and that Apple is mean, people are not likely to respond to you with sweetness and light and puppies and kittens.
    If you really want help, I'd suggest you take a deep breath and then start a new thread in which you explain the problems you're having, the steps you've taken to resolve the problems, any error messages you've gotten. Stick to the facts. Check the attitude and emotion at the door. People will do their best to help you.
    Best of luck.

  • Hello my creative cloud keeps on logging out when I try to log in. Anyone that can help?

    I already looked at the adobe site for solutions for it but it seems that none of those help at my problem.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    Or do I just have to re-install creative cloud? And if I do that will it cost me any money?

  • Why does my safari icon keep jumping and take forever to load?

    When I turn on my iMac and log in; the toolbar comes up and I push the safari icon and it jumps around and has been taking a lot longer to load...Is there something I can do to fix that?

    Is Safari the only application that's slow to load?

  • Takes forever to open AOL...WHY?

    Every single time I try to open AOL from the web, to get my email, with Firefox, it takes forever to open!!!!!
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://aol.com

    How long does it usually take from taping the icon until you can take photos?
    My iPhone 4 takes 5 seconds, since you're using iPhone 4S I would imagine it should take no more 5 seconds.
    Having said that, holding the Home and Sleep/Wake button until your iPhone restarts has shown to show improvements in overall performance (since it quits all applications). Users I know have also experiance better performance by updating to the latest version of iOS.
