IPhoto application goes away

IPhoto application goes away.
I have 10.2.8 17" iMac I get upgrades, but have had iPhoto crash log twice. Pictures are still on computer. Just can't open them. What am I doing wrong.
Pat

First guess is a corrupt preference (plist) file. Drag the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the Preferences folder to the trash.
If iPhoto still doesn't load, then I'd suspect a corrupt album. You can verify by temporarily dragging the folder named "Albums" from the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop. If iPhoto starts (you'll notice most of the albums gone), either be happy and make new albums, or quit iPhoto and move the albums folder back. Start iPhoto and immediately hold down the commandoptionshift keys (for iPhoto 4) or option+shift keys (for iPhoto 2), to rebuild the library database.
iPhoto 4 is known to occasionally crash at the end of the rebuild process, but relaunching iPhoto usually finds everything in order. Corrupt albums will have been discarded.

  • I write Journals on iphoto but with ios8 the journal goes away so I haven't upgraded. However, a journal I was working on last week won't function now. What should I do?

    The journal function of iphoto is going away with ios8 so I haven't upgraded as I have a journal I am working on and several I want to save. The journal function will now not let me write in it and it won't save to itunes. Help.

    No, not paired to anything else, fresh out the box connected to the mac mini I bought at the same time, never been paired with anything else.
    I think it's a hardware issue. As I don't seem to be able to get it to turn off.

  • Applications section keeps going away!!! Help??

    My "Applications" section keeps going away in iTunes. The only way to make it come back is to download a new app that I do not currently have. This is rediculous. Does anyone have the same problem???

    Hello again
    If Help > Updates doesn't seem to be working, try clicking the link below:
    Adobe - Adobe Captivate Support Center : Downloads
    Additionally, if you are in a corporate environment, your IT staff may need to perform the update.

  • HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing.  Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
    There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
    More things you can do:
    With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
    I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not.  You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing.  As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos.  I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special.  Any way - search around to find answers.

  • My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time -been

    My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time.

    I tried this, but no luck. I went to Previous System>Users. There is nothing inside the "Users" folder, so I hit a dead end.
    I can find my new e-mails -- those that came in since I re-installed the system -- in my NEW system (which I did to see if I was correctly understanding the advice), by going to Users>Home>Library>Mail>POP account name>Inbox.
    Let me add a new question: I am running PhotoShop C3. It opens OK, and I can use it, but when it opens I get this message: "One or more files for Adobe Application Support folder are missing. Please re-run the PhotoShop installer."
    I don't like re-installing working programs if I can avoid it, because it always seems to lead to other issues. Any idea what files are missing, and where it/they might be in the Previous System folder?
    thanks

  • Just upgraded to 9.4, safari will not let me keep more than 3 windows open, if i try to open 4th, one goes away

    Safari will not let me keep more than 3 windows open, when I try to open 4th, one goes away, just installed 9.4 last week, nothing but problems

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Ineligible iPhoto application?

    I am trying to upgrade my iPhoto and after it downloaded the message "An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications." came up. What does that mean? My computer crashed and it seems like it came with iPhoto <7.0 at least. I don't remember having to go through this, so any advice on what to do, or what's going on here would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi! Thanks so much for your speedy reply! I have 6.0.6 version and I am trying to download the 7.1.4.( this is the version from the apple website). So that would be a newer version right? So you think maybe my iPhoto is in the wrong folder? I tried to drag the iPhoto 7.1.4 into the applications folder, and this didn't help, but obviously I haven't really the slightest idea when it comes to macs...Trying to set up this computer after is crashed has been harder than I thought...
    I checked where the iPhoto is, and Macintosh HD-Applications-iPhoto.
    Thanks for anymore information you may be able to provide.

  • Problem with PointBase v4.2, goes away in v4.3

    Hey,
    I've been using PointBase as the database backend for CMP in app server 7, and there's a problem with PointBase. I can't create an auto-increment (identity) field in one table, then in the same table have a foreign key reference to another table which has it's primary key also as an identity field.
    This problem goes away in PointBase v4.3. I think this is a major problem as this is very common when developing (prototyping whatever) database apps using identity fields to uniquely ID the table.
    My suggestion is that we bundle an evaluation of 4.3, instead of 4.2. No changes would need to be made to any documentation, and the jar file uses the same package names as that of v4.2.
    Just my thoughts, I think that we can add value at very minimal cost.
    Clint.

    Hi Clint,
    Thanks for the heads up.
    App Server 7 will be shipping with PointBase Server 4.2 because it has gone through quite a bit of certification with the specific version of the product. Of course, as you noticed, there might be issues with some features in 4.2 that are not tested in our test suite. However, we cannot simply swap out 4.2 for 4.3 and ship the App Server 7 product without further planning and performing another round of certification tests. Bundling of 4.3 or greater will have to wait for the follow on release of the application server. (Same could be said of Ant 1.5.x, J2SDK 1.4.1, etc. All components which need to be certified with the app server product).
    If you are Sun employee, please contact me and I can explain it in more detail.
    Thanks again,
    [email protected]

  • Firewire going away?

    I am being told by Apple representatives that Firewire will be going away due to the USB speed is equal if not faster now. Can someone explain these speeds to me?

    USB 1.x - 11 megabits per second
    Firewire 400 - 400 megabits per second
    USB 2.x - 480 megabits per second
    Firewire 800 - 800 megabits per second
    Firewire 1600 - 1600 megabits per second
    USB 3.x - 5 gigabits per second
    All of these speeds are theoretical maximums. You will not see such speeds in real-world applications. FW1600 and USB 3 have not appeared in any purchasable devices as of yet, to the best of my knowledge.
    Firewire still has significant benefits over USB even at similar maximum data speeds. But if the peripheral developers won't include FW in their devices, technological advantages really don't matter, and more and more manufacturers that have in the past included Firewire are dropping it in favor of USB, probably due to a lower cost of implementation. So it would appear that Firewire is indeed on it's way out, at least for consumer-level devices.

  • When I go to my iTunes icon it comes up and goes away think I'm locked out

    When I go to my iTunes icon it comes up and goes away think I'm locked out

    I think that being signed into your apple.com account but with Safari first and foremost would be better as that would allow an Apple cookie to be set down onto an integral proprietary application (yes the Safari browser - go figure). Then (that is secondarily) you should sign into iTunes and have (more reliable) fun.
    Google's motto was "Do No Evil" was it not? So do you honestly believe that their primary business interests and application performance jives with that of Apple? Sometimes yes, other times...no. Sorry, just sayin.

  • ZumoCast goes away?

    ZumoCast on my phone goes away then magically re appears days later. This has happened twice after my Bionic seems to die except this time (the second time) it has not come back yet. This app is not on the market so how do I get it back. This is a selling piont of this phone. Works good when the app is on the phone. I am here because I do not understand what is going on and hopefully someone out there does. Maybe a Verizon\Motorola Tech that care about what is going on in the real world.

    Hi Check777,
    Zumocast is a pre-loaded application with the Bionic, so it will not be in the Android Market. Please try powering off the device and removing the battery, then powering back on. This should resolve it for you. 
    I did want to let you know that there is an update scheduled for the Bionic, coming out from Motorola. When it is available, our customers will be notified through our normal channels. 
    Thanks so much, 

  • Iphoto application does not open

    Installing all updates within one week of release. Last month March 2015 installed all current updates and I do not recall the exact update but there was one that allows for a future iPhoto app to be readied to use with the new release of Yosemite 10.10.3  but as of now my iPhoto application does not open. Clicking on icon in applications does not work. Whats going on ?

    What happens when you try?

  • Mini audio goes away.

    My wife has a Mini that's only a few months old.  When it sits overnight or for an extended period the audio goes away.
    Rebooting brings it back to proper operation.  Sound level is up on the speaker control so that's not changing. 
    It just goes quiet until she reboots it!

    Long shot, but next time it happens...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.
