IPhoto and photos app becoming non responsive/ slow and crashing...

Ok so I need some help!
I've been importing my photos onto my iPad with a camera connection kit. Everything has been fine for a while, I've been able to edit , do effects, export, navigate between windows and sections within the app.
Now for so,e reason the app has become INCREDIBLEY slow and at some times unresponsive. Every time you go to touch or edit a photo after about two minutes of using the app, it freezes and I won't be able to do anything. Then all of a sudden it will work then it will stop and become unresponsive again.
Also my camera connection kit on the import using the photos application has become slow as well. The app used to fly through the import of 100+ photos giving green ticks within a second at a time.
Now it's around 20 to 30 seconds per photo to import it onto the iPad.
I have 5gb left on the iPad on a 64gb iPad.
I've tried a hard restart of the whole iPad as well. I've also tried closing the app and re opening it from scratch.
In my entire photos library I have 705 photos - average size of photos are around 3.3mb each
The iPhoto app it's self is now running at 2.2 gb in total
I really don't want to delete iPhoto app and reinstall as I'll loose all my edits that I've done. However in saying that it seems to be the photo app that's the problem as well due to the connection kit speed issue . All other apps work fine and the rest of the iPad works as usual . So it's just photo and iphoto that is having problems.
Has anyone got any idea on how to fix this???? I'm away on a trip and am wanting to use my iPad to offload and edit photos ASAP :(
Any advice or comments would be great let appreciated!
Thanks
James

Disk Utility does not work on user files. Only on system and applications. Give the following a try:
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 (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

My Ipad 2 no longer displays anything.It may come on for a few seconds,but then half of the screen goes completely black, and the system becomes non responsive to all bottons. At other times all four sides of the display becomes black, about 1/4 inch.

Can anyone help me on this one? I got my IPAD 2 in June 2011. It never gave problems until a few days ago. It began to "hang", becoming non-responsive to all buttons. Then just yesterday morning, it went totally black. The display no longer displays. The Battery was charged 96%. I tried the power adapter, but had the same result. I tried the resetting, holding the two buttons for 10 seconds or more but no result. I have already restored it to the factory setting,(via my PC) and put back my apps etc. But after all this I still cannot see anything on the screen.
I know it is still working, because from time to timer I hear the message alerts, and other sounds.
Waht is the likely solution?

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

Middle of browsing or working on word the computer becomes non responsive

Whilst typing on word doucment and move between browser and other windows/tabs unpredictably the macbook stops resonding and a rainbow colour pinwheel starts spinnign for ever needing the computer to be force switched off and restarted. any suggestions what could be wrong.

My computer is a laptop Satellite a665-s6086. The main video player I use is a VLC player. However, it also becomes non responsive on websites that stream video. This could be a random site, but videos from youtube have also caused my computer to become non responsive. I haven't tried other media players yet. I am not sure yet about a 2 hour movie. The other day, I got through a few shows before it started acting up, maybe about 2.5 hours worth of video.
When my computer becomes non responsive, I can't open other programs, and when I try to close open programs, they just freeze and do not shut down. If i try to close a web browser, I just get the (not responding) note in the tab bar. You can tell things start to not work when in the middle of a video, the noise kind of makes a gurgle sound I guess. Its the same sound video makes if I were to accidently bump or shake my computer. That noise is hard to describe. the video slows down a little, but usually I can finish watching it. When i power down my computer, i turn it off using the button and turn it back on. Everything boots up like normal, and things seem fine until I try watching another video.

Now that I was sent by Microsoft to your download update site to get the latest version 4.0.1, Firefox crashes (becomes non-responsive) before opening any site page I try. When will you fix this problem?

For two weeks I have tried to use your automatic download of the latest version 4.0.1. It would sit there telling me it is trying to connect to the download computer for hours, several times overnight. Then, it became non-responsive and error messages were sent to Microsoft who directed me to your download site. After downloading your latest version several times, the new page would open. After selecting a bookmarked site, it would open (sometimes only partially) but when I tried to scroll down, it would freeze up and become non-responsive, again prompting error messages to Microsoft. They must be getting a kick out of this. I'm running a Gateway 7200S desktop with Microsoft XP and Intel single range Pentium 4 processor. I have been using your Mozilla Firefox as my default browser for several years with much satisfaction. Unfortunately, whatever upgrades were made have rendered it useless for me.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple? I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

Server 2008 becomes non-responsive intermittently

Hi,
I have a virtual server which becomes non-responsive intermittently. The mstsc command will not give the login window and will push me back to the mstsc login screen ( where we enter the hostname we want to remote into ). If I try to login from Vmware console;
after entering the credentials and hit enter, it will push me back to the login screen again. Then I will be left with one option, which is reset it from console.
Can someone help me here to solve it? Why its happening and what is the resolution ?
Thanks in advance,
Noufal

Hi
are there any errors in the event log when this happens? Is this server a domain controller?
When it doesnt respond are you still able to ping the server?
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
Yes, see if you can ping both IP and Host name at this point. I have seen this happen in a non domain environment.

IPad becomes non responsive after every file sync

I have a large collection of books and music. My ipod will sync everything without a problem. Every time I try to sync my iPad it freezes and becomes non-responsive after every file. I'll get one file on there and then have to keep clicking to get itunes to respond again. What is up with this?

CS4 becomes non-responsive when I right click

When I go to open a document in CS4 and then try to right click, delete or move files while I'm in the open screen, Photoshop becomes non-responsive and I have to shut it down and restart it, thereby losing any unsaved work. It's been doing it for awhile and I've tried to find a solution, but haven't had any luck. I've deleted my cache and that didn't fix the problem.
Can anyone help, please?

Check the mouse/driver. The functions you mention are controlled by the OS even though you are in PS.

Address Book becoming non-responsive

I have taken the I-mac (Lion 10.75) to the genius bar 3 times because the Address book program becomes non responsive after I spend some trying to clean up duplicate addresses (merging them) and updating information. The first time they said to remove one of the Address book preferences, then the last time, after re-installing trhe operating system, they said to remove ALL the preferrences if it happened again. It did, and I did, but it did not work. Specifically, the adress book will not search by name and continues to download duplicate adresses from some mysterious place that is not I-Cloud because the addresse are (mostly) in order on the Cloud.
Does anybody have a fix? Or a recommendation for another address book program that I can synch between I-Mac, I phone and tablets?

Note: These instructions are for OS X 10.8 or later. In OS X 10.7, the procedure is the same, but the application is named "Address Book" instead of "Contacts."
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBookSourceSync
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, go to the next step.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
A. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
B. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
C. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), 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.
D. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
E. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

Can't access photos in camera roll - camera and photo app crashes

Have iphone 4 with iOS 5.0. Took pictures but now I can't access any photo in the Camera Roll. When I now try to take a picture, Camera app crashes. If I try to access the Camera Roll via Photo App, it too crashes. Can't see the photos from iTunes either. Shows it as unknown data. Is there anyway to rebuild the photo library or remove a corrupted photo since I think that is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

You will need to download PhoneView, but the free 7 day demo does the job - and my camera and photo app are up and running again!

My hard drive on my MacBook Pro stopped working and I had to replace the hard drive. I cannot get my playlists and photos to appear in my iTunes and iPhoto. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Camera and Photos app keeps crashing!!!

I had no problems last week until yesterday...i even did a clean restore but still the camera and photos app tend to crash
it keeps stating "Please Wait" Updating Library...
and the bar reaches up to about 30% loading and then crashes....anybody else having these problems on their 3gs?

This means the answer is no - a clean restore does not mean you restored your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
All photos and/or video in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone and your iPhone's backup alone for this data in the event your iPhone is lost or stolen and it is not replaced with another iPhone, or there is a hardware problem with your iPhone.
I always import all photos and videos captured by my iPhone with my computer ASAP as with any other digital camera and as with any other digital camera, I delete the photos and videos from the camera after the import process is complete. This also helps to keep the iPhone's backup time to a minimum, provides me a copy of this data on my computer for viewing along with including this data with my computer's backup along with all other important data, and if I want any of the imported photos and videos available on my iPhone for viewing, I can transfer the photos and videos from my computer to my iPhone via the iTunes sync process as with any other photos/video.
Try importing the photos/videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll followed by deleting the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If no change after doing so, restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
