IPhoto freezes when attempting to upload from iPhone 4

I'm attempting to back up my photos from my iPhone 4 to iPhoto on my MacBook (1,700 items). All is well until it reaches 194 photos left and then iPhoto freezes. I then have to force quit. I've tried four times but it always freezes at the same point. Any ideas what may be happening? Thanks

A damaged file at that point is a likely cause.
Can you access the images using Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

Iphoto freezes when trying to upload photos

Hi everyone,
Being new to the mac world (VERY new... I just bought my computer on Friday), I am already having problems with uploading photos. I uploaded everything from my digital camera fine, but then when I tried to upload my Easter pictures, everything freezes and I am forced to quit the application. Apples help line of closing at 6pm pacific time is not helping my matter. Can any one help me??
Thank you!

Your photos are safe inside the iPhoto Library package. You may be able to recover them by on of these ways:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
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 User/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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

Iphoto freezes when trying to upload pics

When I am working from an internet site and trying to upload pics ie; Facebook or my website, iphoto will freeze and I have to force quit safari and all my work is lost.
I have updated my software, and that doesn't seem to have helped.
When I am just in iphoto directly it works fine.
What do I do?

It doesn't sound like you are actually in iPhoto. The way you can tell is, when you are doing whatever it is you do and the computer "freezes", look in the upper left corner right next to the Apple. What does it say?
It sounds like Safari is the program having issues.
Try going to the Safari Menu > Reset Safari. Uncheck the options for Remove other auto... and Remove Saved Names...
See if that helps.

Iphoto won't let me upload from iphone! "Unrecognisable"

HI!
Someone please help!
I was uploading my photos from my iphone and it wasn't working so I went into image capture. It worked fine and I copied and pasted them into iphoto...EXCEPT!!
It won't let me upload the last few months (approx 1,000 photos) of photos on my iphone.
Those last photos don't show up on image capture at all, like they don't exist, but they do. They are my most recent photos I've taken.
I can view these remaining ones on iphoto,(unlike image capture) but it won't let me upload them either. Says "Unrecognisable format" or something
Please help ~

10.05 GB available
Then you have the absolute bare minimum you need, and in reality, when taking temporary files into account, very likely much less than that.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

IMovie freezes when working with videos from iPhone

Whenever I open iMovie and click on a clip that was imported from my iPhone 4s iMovie freezes along with my Mac. However, when I use a clip form a normal camera, iMovie works flawlessly. Are there any ways to work around this issue? or is it just something I cant do?

Well it could be a few different things. Bad memory, a corrupted HD, a permissions problem, a bad video card, the list goes on. Check out
http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/help/
for troubleshooting tips to try and isolate the problem.
swapping out memory chips, resetting the PRAM, and repairing permissions (in no particular order) would be the first thigs I'd try.

System freezes when attempting to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion

I hope someone can help me out there. I have downloaded the Lion upgrade install program and built an install disk on my jump drive using Lion Diskmaker 2.0.2, but when I tried to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion using the jump drive, the install freezes at 24% and I cannot reboot or anything. It just keeps coming back to the install screen. Any suggestions?

This could be due to a number of causes. If you have the Lion installer application, then I suggest you put it in your Downloads folder. Now do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
When you've done the above you should now double-click on the Lion installer application in your Applications folder. When prompted click on the Install button. Note that you will not use the flash drive you made as you shouldn't need it. And, this will avoid any issues with a bad flash drive installer.

HT1692 iOS7 Calendar freezing when attempting to accept/decline/maybe a meeting request from Microsoft Outlook Exchange... (iPhone 5s)

My iOS7 calendar on my iPhone 5s continually freezes when I attempt to accept/decline/maybe (respond in general) to any invitations that come through to the device... The main ones I get (so the ones I am experiencing the issue with) are from Microsoft Outlook Exchange Account (also synced through Mail app).
I have attempted to go via the emails I receive with the invitation and the device freezes when attempting to action the request through the Mail app also.
I'm hard reset the phone, I've removed and re-established the account in the phone, but nothing fixes the issue. It might work for one or two invitations, but it will start freezing again without a pattern...
This is a real pain, because these meeting requests etc are for work meetings and interviews!
Thanks guys!
<Edited by Host>

We are seeing a similuar issue here at work on serveral devices.
Using Lotus Notes for mail and calendar
iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S
Running iOS 7
When an email comes in for a meeting invite if you click on the Date and Time in blue it will walk you through opening the invite in your calendar and then I can Accept/Decline without issue. If you click on the Invitation icon, which seems to be what users intuitively, in the the email then it freezes up the mail app., see image below.

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_1.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage?

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_2.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage_2?

When you drag images from iPhoto to iWeb, iWeb retains the original filename.
When you use a mask, iWeb creates a png file with the shapeimage name.
So do not use a mask and crop your images before dropping them on the iWeb canvas.
When you use an irregularly shaped mask, then png files are created. They have to be png because of the transparency of the shape.
You can use a 3rd party application to create the png images yourself, and give them a proper name.
Or use the published png files, rename them and drop them back onto the iWeb canvas, while first removing the previous images.

When I attempt to upload from a CD I get a box with a red X that says new itunes library. What do I have to do to correct this? I have never had a problem doing this.

Hey the1stpotada,
I would take a look at the recommended steps in this article and run through them to see if they help resolve the issue. Some of the steps may be slightly different depending on what operating system you're using:
iTunes for Windows XP: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes

Iphoto freezes when I try to print a picture

Why does iPhoto freeze when I try to print a photo? I have to force the program closed.

That was a test to determine if the original library was damaged and it was. You did follow the next step but there's one more fix you can try on your damaged library:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Since upgrade no photos appear in iphoto list when trying to upload a pic to facebook. I can "share" on my own wall but not post a pic to a friend's wall.

No photos appear in the iphoto list when trying to upload a pic to facebook. I can "share" a photo on my own wall or add one to an album through iphoto directly. I cannot figure out how to post a pic to a friends wall.

Exactly how are you trying to do this and waht is the problem
The iPhoto facebook upload can only post to your account
If you are uploading using a browser your photos are accessed through the media browser in the lower left ahnd corner of the puload window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto
Please describe what you are doing, what problem you are having and what version of iPhoto and of the OS you are using
