IPhoto freezes during xD import

Lately we've been having problems importing photos from our
xD card via our SanDisk 12-in-1 USB card reader. If there are only
one or two pictures on the card, we can import them OK. But if
there are more, iPhoto will hang after downloading a few
(the number varies). If we attempt to cancel the import, we
are thrown into the spinning beachball of doom.
Any suggestions on where the problem is and how to fix it?

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the storey. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?
My macbook air is os x 10.9, using iPhoto 11 9.5 (902.7).

Try Old Toad's solution here: See Re: iphoto : upload impossible to print a book
Try to boot into Safe Mode and order this way, or sign into a different user account and try to order as a different user.

IPhoto crashes during photo import from iPhone

iPhoto consistently crashes during photo import.
I have already taken the following actions:
-Verify/Repair Disk Permissions
-Verify/Repair Disk
-Update software
I tried to rebuild the iPhoto library but was unable to.
I am running a MacBook Pro (OSX Lion 10.7.2, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM)
Does anyone have any input for how I can fix this problem?
The most recent problem report is below.
Thanks!

I have just had the same issue, and made an appointment with a representative, just in case they can be of any help. I will post here if they come up with any solution...
Using an imac with 10.7.2 and iphoto 9.2 and this is the first time since I tried to import pics from the iphone since I upgraded to 10.7.2 and iphoto 9.2.
Cannot import from HDD or camera SD card either.

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.

When opened, iPhoto freezes trying to import old photos from library

When I open iphoto, I get a message that says "26 photos have been found in the iphoto library that were not imported. Would you like to import them now?" When I click YES, my computer freezes and I must force quit. The only way I can open iphoto is to ignore this message. This occurs when no devices are hooked up to my computer. How can I fix this or delete these 'mystery' photos that are waiting to be imported? Help! (Please and Thanks)

quit iPhoto and in the finder right click on the iPhoto Library package, select the Show Package contents option and fine the folder names Import or Importing and drag it to your desktop - DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE within the iPhoto Library
close and restart iPhoto - you should be ok. Look inside the import folder from the finder and see if there is anything you want to save - if not trash the folder and its contents - if there are photos you want to save drag them one at a time onto the iPhoto icon or the open program - if you find one that cause,s problems trash it

Freeze during file import

Hi,
Almost everytime I import a batch of movie files from a folder on my hard drive FCP X freezes about 3/4 of the way through the analysis and correction process. The files are all there when I force quit and restart but I wonder if all the import correction features are being completed.
Thanks

what format are the movie files and how big are they?

Iphoto freezes during upgrade to iPhoto '08 -- many photos corrupted

When upgrading to iPhoto 8 (using iLife '08 disks), the program froze while photos were in mid-conversion. I am able to access some (those that had finished being converted before the program froze?) but am unable to access most of my photos. In Finder, for the photos that successfully converted, I see a thumbnail image, the photo title, the date taken, the file size and "Jpeg image."
For the photos that I can no longer access, the thumbnail images are all little pages with an arrow pointing to a red "JPG" at the top, the photo title is now IMG_0062.JPG, the date of all the unconverted photos is Dec 18 2005, the files are all 4 KB, and the kind of photo is listed as Alias.
When I try to double click one of the non-converted files, the following error message appears: The alias "IMG_0154,jpg" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found." I have the option to: "Delete Alias" "Fix Alias..." or "OK" If I try to "Fix Alias" 4 files appear (T104.ithmb, T155.ithmb, T206.ithmb, T257.ithmb -- They are all 853 KB, were created on the same 1/15/06 but at 4 different times.) Choosing one does not solve the problem.
In the Events section of iPhoto 8, there are empty events in the place of where the converted photos should be (even lists the number of photos, but the 'event' itself is blank).
Can anyone help? These are the only copies of these photos and they're very important.
Thanks!

Can you se an Folder called Originals inside the iPhoto Library, in your Pictures Folder - if necessary go there and right click on the Library icon and go 'Show Package Contents' on the Library.
This Originals folder should contain your actual photos.
If it does then: To create and populate a new 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.

TD

IPhoto freezes during drag & drop

iPhoto repeatedly freezes while dragging photos from the main "photos" file into an album. It becomes non-functional, and the only way out is to force quit.
Upon relaunch, it acts normally again for a while, then repeats.

IPhoto freezes during upgrade

I upgraded to Yosemite, then had to upgrade my iPhoto from mid 2010. I cannot finish the update, as it freezes, time and time again before finishing. This has been happening for over a week now. I am afraid that I have lost my close to 20,000 pictures. Any suggestions? I have already loaded iPhoto Library Upgrader.
Processor speed: 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3
4 GB Memory 1333MHz DDR3
Operating System OSX Yosemite 10.10

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Lightroom freezes during file import

Hi,
When I try to import photos from a drive or my camera, Lightroom freezes, often while attempting to import the first photo. Any ideas of what the problem might be?
I'm using a Mac desktop and Lightroom 1.4.1.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! That´s it!
It took me a while to understand what you had meant and to find out, where and how to change the default setting. I did not change the preset intentionally before and I´m quite sure that LR 5.7 did not do so. There is a faint suspicion that it was done by an OS X update. Perfectly horrible!
Thankful regards

Mail freezes during message import

Hi all,
I recently fire-wire transfered all of my files from an iBook running 10.3 onto a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11
When I went to open Mail, it prompted me to import my mailboxes. I've tried twice, and each time, it never gets past "Imported 14960 of 19504 messages". Up until that point it is dutifully chugging away importing messages, but it can't get past that point. Worse, there's no way to just click "ok" or "continue", if you cancel it, it starts at the top all over again.
Suggestions? Is there an alternative way to get all my mail folders? Please help!
Thanks!

IPhoto Freezes When Importing from Camera

Each time I've tried to import from my camera iphoto freezes during the import and I have to force quit it. I have tried copying the photos from the cameras folders to the computer and then importing from there but it also freezes. I did not have any problems importing using iphoto on 10.4 and I have now tried to import onto a friends computer (PC) and it works fine (so not my memory card or camera gone wrong).
Any suggestions on how to import successfully????????

Nyssa
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

My iphoto froze during download of images, cant close it, what should i do

I am have problem with iphote, tried to download picture from camera, over 1000 picture, didnt know it was that many, anyway, iphoto froze in process, cant shut program down dont know if all images download, cant delete images, help

Force quit iPhoto, if it is still hanging - from the "Force quit" panel in -menu in the upper left corner of your screen.
Then repair your iPhoto library - launch iPhoto while firmly holding down the key combination ⌥⌘, until the First Aid panel pops up. Select "Repair Database" from this panel and press "repair".
If iPhoto launches again after the repair, check, which photos have been imported.
Look, for a "Recovered" item in your library source list. Maybe some stray photos have been put there.
Then try importing again, but this time in smaller installments.
BTW, iPhoto freezing during import can be caused by not enough disk space available. How full is your hard drive?

IPhoto frequently freezes during cropping. Requires hard Mac reboot.Running OS X Yosemite ver 10.10.1. Nov. 10, 2014 update to OS X has not helped.

I have had problems with iPhoto stability since the OS X Yosemite upgrade. Now running ver. 10.10.1. iPhoto freezes totally and frequently when using the cropping tool. The freeze requires a full Mac reboot. The November 10, 2014 iPhoto update has not helped.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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?
Post back with the result.
