IPhoto freezes after 46 photos exported

I Photo freezes after 46 photos.  I have tried by eliminating photos and moving them around but it still freezes.  I am trying to export an album of photos to burn to a  CD and it just won't work.
It exports the first 46 then tells me it cannot export the photo which would be 47.  But that should not be the case, since #47 is not the same photo when i go back after moving them around and deleting some.

Where are you exporting to and how much free space do you have on your boot drive.  A test you can run is to  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import more than 47 photos  and check to see if the same problem persists.
If it doesn't then the problem lies with your current library.
If it does then it could be an application issue, user account issue or system issue.
Report back with the results.

  • Iphoto freezes after deleting photo

    I have an issue after installing the newest version of iphoto. Everything seems to be working fine except when I attempt to delete a photo the application stops responding.

    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.

  • IPhoto freezes when ordering photo

    As of today - 29 May 2012, iPhoto freezes when ordering photo prints with the message..
    'There was a problem communicating with the Apple Online Store. Please try again.'
    I had to 'Force quit' iPhoto to continue.
    OK, so maybe the store is down but surely that should not affect the software on both of my computers?

    It's OK now - I see the store is open again - but it does seem odd that lack of store makes te application freeze solid!

  • Photo booth freezing after taking photos or videos...

    so almost every time i use my iSight and photobooth to take a photo or record a video my mac freezes and i cant force quit or even click on anything. i end up having to manually shut down my mac and then reboot it. it still saves the photos/videos most of the time but its very obnoxious that it freezes after each time i try to take a photo, especially since i just got this MacBookPro a week ago.
    has anyone experienced similar problems and know any solutions?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, UnadmirableActs
    so such problems can be caused by software issues you can fix.
    Mac OS X is a robust operating system, but it does require some simple occasional maintenance for best performance. It sounds to me like your Mac may need some maintenance now.
    First, you should Safe Boot your Mac. Safe Boot forces an automated OS X disk check and repair routine. If your disk needs significant work, Safe Boot may take several minutes to finish. Do NOT try to use your Mac while in Safe Mode. When your desktop appears in Safe Mode, immediately restart your Mac normally. Use the Safe Boot procedure the first time you start your OS X Mac after any hard shutdown (whenever you "manually shut down my mac".)
    When your Mac restarts normally after a Safe Boot, you should repair your startup disk's permissions. Depending upon how much repair is needed, permissions repair may take many minutes or even a few hours the first time you do it. Subsequent runs should take only a few minutes.
    For normal maintenance (other than after a hard shutdown,) you can also use Disk Utility rather than a Safe Boot to verify your startup disk. 
    As soon you have performed your OS X maintenance, try the suggestions in Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight to test your iSight's function. If you encounter problems after having performed OS X maintenance, try the reset process suggested in the Troubleshooting suggestions. The reset usually restores proper function of the built-in iSight.

  • IPhoto freezes when I click "export".

    The last time I tried to export photos, I was trying to use the Flickr exporter. Now, every time I click export, it defaults to Flickr and tries to log in. It then FREEZES and won't stop trying to log in until I eventually have to FORCE QUIT iPhoto. How can I stop this? I don't even want to use Flickr anymore.
    Adam

    Haha. **** it. After posting, it occurred to me, that I can go to the iPhoto app in Finder, "Show Package Contents" navigate to "Flickr Exporter" and simply delete the folder. Working fine.

  • Pls. help! iPhoto freezes (after duplicate/import/ext. edit)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm so frustrated. Every time I either duplicate a photo, edit in external editor, or actually after every single import from the digital camera (I use a card reader, but the camera is EOS 20D for completeness) iPhoto stops responding, freezes, I get the spinning ball. I mean, I went to Macs because I was fed up wasting so much time just getting things to work, and now this? :''-(
    I've tried repairing permissions, cron scripts, deleting the iPhoto prefs file and it still happens. BTW, for the technical ones around you, if I restart iPhoto after I have to force quit, the duplicated photo is there. Just like the import goes through. Just at the end it hangs itself. Also to my bewilderment, duplicating an already duplicated photo (by clicking on the duplicate) the iPhoto will not freeze exceptionally. Oh, and I also tried manual permissions (RW for me AND the group), plus I AM the admin and the only user account on this mac ever since it was new.
    Please help. I already upgraded from 5.0.3 to 5.0.4 and no change (luckily it didn't get worse, heh). My library is 5 Gigs of mostly 8megapixel RAWs, TIFFs, and JPEGs.
    Thank you!

    Hi amanda,
    for now, use Image Capture to import your images.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
    You can also try to delete the iPhoto preference file called com.Apple.iPhoto.plist. Here is a screenshot of where it is.
    Preference file
    Then you can download and use Onyx to clean out all caches.

    -I want you to check the permissions on your iPhoto Library folder and make sure they are Read/write for you. In the same window go all the way to the bottom and check the box.
    Get info on the iPhoto Library folder
    iPhoto Library Info
    For good measure, you can open Disk Utility which is found in your Utilities folder and repair permissions.

  • Bridge Freezing after Caching Photo Shoots - Says Running Low on Disk Space & To Purge Cache

    Hello,
    I'm working in  Bridge CS5 on a Mac 0S X version 10.9.2. I have 12 GB of RAM and the server has 240 TB capacity, 76.69 available.
    Recently I've received the following error message while processing large photo shoots with both DNG and JPEG files: Bridge is running low on memory. It is recommended that Bridge is restarted.
    I have also been manually caching large photo shoots and my cache preferences were set to Keep 100% Preview In Cache and Automatically Export Cache To Folder When Possible. My cache size was set to 500,000.  Yesterday, Bridge started to freeze while attempting to open folders. The wheel would spin at the bottom with the message Compiling Criteria. The only way to close Bridge was a Force Quit. This happened several times.
    Today, image thumbnails will no longer display, only the DNG/JPEG icons. I received the following error message:
    I have tried restarting Bridge while holding the alt/Option key to reset the preferences and checking all three boxes - no luck. I have done the same thing with the boxes unchecked - no luck.  I have tried manually purging the cache from its location in the library - no luck. I have tried resetting the cache preferences from the toolbar - no luck. I have tried deleting the cache files from the folders - nothing. happens, I have tried purging the cache for each folder from the tool bar - nothing happens.
    I need to restore the thumbnails and rebuild the cache for each folder. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong or how to help?
    Many Thanks!

  • IPhoto freezes looking for photos on an external hardrive

    I have a MacBook Pro and am running 10.4.6 and iPhoto 6.0.2
    Since my laptop has a limited hard drive I store the most recent photos on my laptop and the rest on an external hard drive. iPhoto allows me to do this as long as I turn off "copy photos to iPhoto Library".
    The problem: When my laptop is away from home and my external hard drive, I receive errors the tune of "The volume containing 'filename' cannot be found" Obviously I cannot view a full resolution of a photo that is not stored on the laptop, so I would click 'cancel'. But now it happens at a random time interval after launching iPhoto and it always targets a movie file (*.avi). Although it lists the option to cancel, i cannot click on it because the colored spinning ball of death prevents me from doing anything. I must 'force quit' iPhoto and relaunch.
    Does iPhoto have to be connected to ALL the photos in the library at ALL times without recieving errors? And why do the errors happen at random times and not immediately when I launch the program?

    I haven't tried adding keywords yet. (largely due to the fact that there isn't a universal binary of Keyword Assistant available yet). You've brought up a good idea about storing the movies seperate from the pictures. I might try that if I can think of a good way to do that. What bothers me, is the fact that iTunes already operates exactly as I want iPhoto to. I store all my movies and music videos on an external hard drive. iTunes doesn't care unless I try to play them, and even then it doesn't crash the program. You would think that iPhoto would operate similarly. Perhaps I should just cram a 200GB hard drive into my laptop

  • IPhoto freezes synching iPhone photos iOS 6

    First synch of photos after upgrade of iPhone 4S to IOS6, iPhoto progress bar and twirling color shell kept going, pics never transferred. Had to forcecquitbiPhoto. Retries gave same result.

    It took me two calls with Apple Care to figure this out on my own. Check your Camera Roll for any videos that are 0:00 or 0:01 seconds in length. I did the whole iPhoto library Repair a few times, then I started importing my photos/videos a few at a time. The batches worked but then i got to a video that my toddler did that was only 0:00 long and that's when iPhoto froze. I deleted the video from my phone, then relaunched iPhoto and was able to successfully import the remaining items. As a test, i took a bunch of pics and videos after clearing my phone, and attempted to import all. It worked fine!

  • IPhoto freezes while emptying photos in trash?

    I have iphoto 4.0.3 and need to delete photos to free up memory space. When I select "empty trash" from the file menu, the application freezes and I have to use force quit in order to shut it down. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and is there another way to delete photos from iPhoto? I have 3000+ photos in my trash and am desperate to free up memory space! Thank you in advance!

    How long did you wait before invoking a "Force Quit"?
    In iPhoto, go to the trash folder, select 8 or 10 of the images, then simultaneously press Command+Delete. Do those selected images go away?

  • IPhoto crashed after uploading photos. Tried restart but crashed again. Message that library is damaged. I don't have a backup. How to restore library?

    I uploaded new photos and put into albums. When I tried to open album, iPhoto shut down. Got error message and clicked on reopen. Tried again and it happened again. When I opened it again it said there was damage and offered a button to restore. I clicked it and then got this: "Your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup." Help, no backup. Is there any way to recover the library?

    1 - you really must ahve a backup - without one it is just a matter of time until you lose all of your files including your photos - bad things happen, hopefully this is not the time but it will happen sooner or later - purchase a large hard drive (2 1/2 times the size of yoru main drive) that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and start runnint Time Machine so youwill have hourly backps
    2 - start by rebuilding - backup  your iPhoto library, depress and hold the command and options keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild yoru database

  • Missing iphoto pics after downloading photos from iphone

    I downloaded photos from iphone to iphoto and now the only photos that appear in the iphoto library are the ones I just downloaded from the iphone, not any of the earlier ones. There is only one iphoto library to open.  I was able to get all of the earlier photos back by option clicking the library but now the ones from iphoto are missing, despite there only being one iphoto library to open.  How do I unite them?

    This is likely the case.  The only time I see double libraries is when I "Show package contents".  Then there is a "library" (which has all the pics) and a library.photo and a library6.photo.  Both look exactly the same as the real photo library but neither can be opened. 
    I can retake the pictures - it's only 20 or so now and recent too - I just wish I knew what had happened so that it wouldn't happen again!
    Thanks for all of the help!

  • When I start a slideshow iPhoto freezes after a few pictures

    It just stops on a single frame of a video or a picture and I have to manually change the pictures or it just crashes. It started about 2 days before this newest update with Maverick. What's up with that?

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
