IPhoto closes when double clicking thumbnails or importing

Hi, iPhoto keeps closing every time I double-click a thumbnail in an album. It also closes when trying to import photos. By "close" I do not mean crash/unexpectedly closed; the window and application just disappears.
I looked into my CrashReport logs and no iPhoto file is there. However, the following screenshot is from Console after iPhoto closed.
I'm not sure if this is the culprit but I did use the application Monolingual a week ago. I can't remember if iPhoto worked after using Monolingual. I removed every language except English, removed every input menu except AppleKeyboardsLayouts, and I removed the ARM and PowerPc architectures (which were all highlighted by default). I can post Monolingual's log file if it can be of any help to you.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

Thanks for your replies guys. First I don't know happened to the screenshot I posted but here it is again. I hope you guys were/are able to get anything from it.
When I first noticed the issue I backed up my iPhoto library. Next I upgraded to Snow Leopard since this computer was running Leopard. I also upgraded to iPhoto '09 since it was running an older version. Still no fix. I then uninstalled iphoto and its pref files with appzapper and then reinstalled iPhoto '09. Again no luck. I then created a new user account and the same thing happens- no fix.
@Terrance- I opened the app Monolingual and I see that the default languages selected include: Austrailia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, and US English, which I deleted. The Language just "English" is not selected and was not deleted. Could this be it?
Thanks again. I will look into the links you provided, Madison and will be back to report with points.

  • When double-clicking thumbnails, images "mosaic" or "tile"

    Since the Snow Leopard Graphics Update, images flash briefly in a jagged "mosaic" or "tile" manner before they convert to full size when double-clicking thumbnails. This happened briefly right after installing the update, then went away after a restart, but now it's back. Running Aperture 3.0.3 on my MBP 2.5GHz with OS 10.6.4.

  • In my iPhoto library, only some images appear as thumbnails.  The rest are blank but appear briefly when scrolling through or properly when double clicked.  Any ideas?

    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. .

    I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
    that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto:  "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?

    iPhoto 08?
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    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. 
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Photos in my iPhoto library will not enlarge when double clicked on.  they fill the screen and then screen goes black.  hasn't happened before.  thanks--

    photos in my iPhoto library will not enlarge when double clicked on.  they fill the screen for a second (or less) and then screen goes black.  hasn't happened before.  thanks--

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Videos in iPhoto don't play when double-clicked?

    Today, I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Prior to the update, when I was in iPhoto, I would double-click on a video and Quicktime would auto open and play the video. Since the update today, when I double-click on a video in iPhoto, nothing happens! I am forced to manually open quicktime and search for the video to open through my 3,000+ photos. Anyone have a solution for this problem?!

    Exactly the same issue for me. Went to Snow Leopard and now the videos won't play in Iphoto. Software update is up to date, tried to manually install Quicktime again but it won't let me as it's already on the HD. Tried to delete it and try again but it doesn't seem to be working. Some help would be appreciated.
    Cheers,
    T.

  • I can no longer open iphoto. When I click on iphot the screen appears and the icon in the centre of the screen continues to rotate . No library  or other item appears on the left.

    I am no longer able to access iphoto. When I click on the icon. The screen opens but remains dark with the spinning icon continuing indefinately. In the light panel on the left hand side there is no list of albums or the library.

    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.

  • Excel cant find this file when double clicking to open

    Hi,
    Our Imacs 10.8.2 and 10.7.3 joined to windows 2008 domain cant open certain excel files from the network share. When double clicking the file or opening from excel -> file open it says it cant find the file. If I drag the file to the desktop then it will open when double clicked. I have tried disconnecting the network drive and reconnecting. I checked permissions and even tried a few cleaner products such as mac keeper and ccleaner and still the same issue. I even upgraded one of the macs from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3 and the issue persisted. Its very strange as some users can open but others cant. Any insight greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Cannot open an event on iphoto 11 by double clicking to reveal all photos in the event

    Cannot open an event on iphoto 11 by double clicking to reveal all photos in the event

    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. Does it?
    If it doesn't your current library is damaged and needs repairing. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - 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.
    Note: 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. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Audio and video don't open together in viewer when double clicked

    Hello everyone!
    I'm having an annoying problem... it isn't something terribly important, but has decreased my work flow speed. Recently, I've had some trouble opening clips from the timeline in the viewer with the double click.
    If I double click the video portion of the clip, even if both the video and two audio tracks are highlighted (and are still linked) only the video portion of the clip will appear (along with "filters" and "motion" tabs) in the viewer, and similarly when double clicking the audio tracks, though both video and audio are highlighted, only the audio tracks and "Filters" tab show up in the viewer. Additionally, once the item is double clicked at the left with the jigsaw pieces that can be used to set video and audio destinations, if I've clicked on an audio portion so only audio shows up in the viewer, only the jigsaw pieces for the two audio tracks (a1, a2) are visible, video track (v1) is no longer present, and vice versa.
    I'd appreciate any advice that you all have! It's really driving me batty, in addition to not knowing what I did to make it that way, I can't figure out how to change it back!
    Heather

    Thanks for the advice.
    The clips already appeared to be linked, and the selection "link" was checked, however when I unlinked and then relinked I found that the audio and video would open up at the same time in the viewer... problem apparently solved! However, the clips I had been working with I had to nudge audio and video a few frames apart (out of sync) to get the audio and video to line up. (gives the little red box with a +or- number in it on the clip).
    When I unlinked and then relinked, the clip lost those red boxes and went back to being synced (as far as FCP is concerned) with the audio and video unaligned.
    So, the problem appears to be coming from when I move the audio and video of a clip out of sync... why is this? Is this something I'm just going to have to deal with?
    Thanks

  • Photos Won't Enlarge When Double Clicked

    Hi, Can anyone tell me if the photos I've imported to my unpublished iWeb site will only enlarge when double clicked when the site is published? Do I need to be associated with a web browser for this to work? It's driving me nuts. Thanks.

    Welcome to the discussions. Yes, photos placed on iWeb's Photos template page only enlarge when published and viewed via a web browser. (The Slideshow also will only play in a browser.) Note that photos on other template pages will not enlarge when clicked — unless you've set up a hyperlink to do that.

  • Both elements 12 and premiere elements 12 crash and close when I click on edit - preferences - general

    Elements 12 organizer crashes and say it has to close when I click on edit, preferences, general.  Also, the text displayed on the organizer screen (such as the menu bar and the folder list in the sidebar) are so tiny I almost need a magnifying glass to read the words.  How can I enlarge the font of the text?  What do I need to do to resolve the oraganizer crashing and closing problem?

    The Premiere Elements 12 Help PDF
    http://help.adobe.com/archive/en/premiere-elements/12/premiere-elements_reference.pdf
    You cannot import Premiere Elements Windows project files (prel) into a Mac version and vice versa. That I am sure on.
    Files with the Mac preferred .mov and .mp4 should be expected to import.
    The rest that you mention are probably under the should import but may need conversion, like mpg to mov.
    But you need to make the distinction between files that will not import because of file properties versus how you
    are importing the files into the project. What happens if you transfer some copies of your media stored to the external drive
    to wherever one saves video to in Mac and then try to import the media into the project from there.

  • How to get the alv grid report in another screen when double click on basic

    Hi.
    I have created an alv report using class cl_gui_alv_grid.I got another report in the same screen,when double clicked on basic list(using double_click event).I want to get this report in another screen.What i have to do?(In classical reports i worked with sy-lsind = 1 ,but how to do here?)
    How to set color to the selected rows in the alv grid report?I worked with change_data_from_inside method of cl_gui_alv_grid.But it didn't work out..
    With Regards,
    Ramana.

    On double click event . you will have to call another screen say 9000.
    now within screen 900 PBO.. you will have to prepare the fieldcatalog/layout.. and the table to be displayed there.
    in PAI of screen 9000, you can return to the original ALV.
    method double_click.
    call screen 9000.
    endmethod.
    " now in PBO create a module display_alv2
    module display_alv2.
    'prepare the fieldcat/layout info for new alv
    'add the data to the new ALV table
    'instantiate the grid call.. etc
    'call the ALV
    endmodule
    "in PAI
    module exit.
    case sy-ucomm.
    when 'ENT1'.
      leave to screen 0.
    endcase.
    endmodule
    while preparing the field catalog you can mention the EMPHASIZE field, whish will give color to tht column
    E.g
    *--Service Order
        ls_fieldcat-tabname   = 'IT_FINAL_VALID'.
        ls_fieldcat-fieldname = 'AUFNR'.
        ls_fieldcat-scrtext_m = 'Service Order'.
        ls_fieldcat-ref_table = 'AUFK'.
        ls_fieldcat-ref_field = 'AUFNR'.
        ls_fieldcat-col_pos   = 1.
        ls_fieldcat-outputlen = 12.
        ls_fieldcat-emphasize = 'C400'.  "This will add color to the cell
        APPEND ls_fieldcat TO fcat_valid.
    Hope this helps.
