IPhoto crasht when importing photos and now it doesn't open anymore. Please help!

I was importing photos in iPhoto, when the program crasht. I tried to restart it, but it never opend. I installed it again and again and made a software update - still doesn't work. What can I do? Please help!

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
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. .

  • Had to update to lightromm 4.4 for raw photos and now I can't open my photos

    I had to update to LR 4.4 to edit raw photos and now I can't open my photos in order to edit them.  Please help

    Canon 70D requires Lightroom 5.2 or later. The raw files from this camera cannot be imported by Lightroom 4.4. You can however download the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.6 and convert these  RAWs to DNG which can be read by Lightroom 4.4.

  • Since Lion installation the remote control first generation, doesn't work as usually. On Leopard when I pushed the menu button, it opened a menu that showed music, films, photo. Now it doesn't work anymore. Is there anyone to explain me why this happen?

    Sadly Snow Leopard was the last OS X to have Front Row and it is no longer offered in Lion or Mountain.
    see > Farewell Front Row | Macworld
    If you want, you can get it back with some tweaking.
    see > Get Front Row for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    or > Use Front Row In OS X Lion
    Also note: that your remote should still be working for waking the Mac, volume control and iTunes...? If it is not, let us know for help with it.

  • I was filling a form online, then I got to where I had to upload an Microsoft document but when I clicked on upload document I only had the option of uploading photos and videos, but not Microsoft doc. Please help.... How do I upload Microsoft doc related

    I was filling a form online, then I got to where I had to upload a Microsoft document but when I clicked on upload document I only had the option of uploading photos and videos, but not Microsoft doc. Please help.... How do I upload Microsoft doc  and other related office documents?

    tis true
    I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
    I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

    I'm running MacOS 10.7.5 with all updates and did an update last night for aperture and now aperture doesn't open.  What's Zup?  Help!

    Also when I do the system update it's not giving me an update for the latest Snow Leopard. I never knew that was available until I started looking around this site and it seems that since I have the internal dual core I should be able to update to mountian lion...is this correct? Will someone please help me and walk me through this. I love my mac I want to have it running like it should be.

  • Last week, I had no problems streaming my MacBook Pro to my sony Bravia with a logix hdmi cable. I came back from holidays and now it doesn't work anymore.  What settings should my computer be on and what settings should my tv be on?
