IPhoto freezes when changing editor in Pref.

It never happened before. Maybe it has to do with installing the new PSE 11 today.
My external editor was PSE 8.
In Pref. Advanced tab, under "use editor" was iPhoto.
So today after installing the new PSE11, I wanted to change the external editor to the new one.
As soon as I clicked "Photoshop Elements", to replace iPhoto under "use editor", iPhoto became non-responsive, froze.
Before that I unchecked MobileMe Sync from showing in the top menu bar. thought maybe it the reason...
iPhoto has already prompted me to repair the library after few forced quits.

I deleted everything associated with MobileMe. Probably too much, and now I got a new problem.
Now I can't even open iPhoto.
I used EasyFind applic. to search for anything with MobileMe in it. Found quite a lot, deleted, and some of the files were needed for iPhoto, but I didn't realize.
I decided to install Mountain Lion, hoping it will fix everything. It didn't.
Command+Option keys to rebuild the library, don't work now either.
I had iPhoto'11, but for some reason the report mentions an earlier version 9.4.2
Wanted to re-install iPhoto'11 from Appstore, but in the purchases it's not listed.
Re-install would probably fix the problem.
Here is what I get when trying to open iPhoto:
iPhoto can not be opened because of the problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of OSX. You may need to reinstall the applic. Be sure to install any available updates for the applic. and OSX.
Here is part from it, and that I remember deleting something like that and also some images of MobileMe, then used Onyx to cleanup:

IPhoto freezes when trying to modify prefs

Hello,
everytime I open the preferences pane the spinning ball appears and I have to force quit the application. Other than that there is no other problem
I've tried deleting the plist file but that did not help.
any ideas?

Manuel10:
That problem is well known and has been fixed with the iLife Support 8.2 and iPhoto 7.1.2 updaters. If you haven't installed them do so and if you have, do so again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

HT2638 Iphoto freezes when I try and delete a large amount of photos

Iphoto freezes when I try and delete a large amount of photos. I have tried all of the first aid options. Can I only delete small batches? I am trying to organize and edit my 16K + library and deleting small batches is very time consuming. And iphoto is running very slow... Is there simply better software for a large library or tips to erase these photos?

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. 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.

IMac freezes when changing the screen saver

Hi all:
I originally posted this in the "Using Mac OS X" forum (iMac freezes when changing the screen saver, but thought I'd post here as well since the issue arises on a freshly installed OS.
We've got three 350MHz slot-loading G3 iMacs (with 512MB RAM) which we're planning to use for basic word processing. The install of Panther (10.3.5 from black retail cds with 10-seat volume license) went fine on the first two. Ran the updates to 10.3.9, installed MS Office 2004, everything working great (they're a little slow, but after all, they are only 350 MHz).
On the third, the first problem we noticed was the computer would lock up whenever we changed the screen saver from the default (Flurry; Computer Name also works). It continues to do so even after: repair permissions; repair disk; Disk Warrior; reset pram; reset nvram; reset pmu; change RAM; change hard drive; erase hard drive; write zeros to hard drive; reinstall with different set of retail CDs; trash preferences, and delete cache files. (If there's anything I've left out, it's in the other thread).
Now we've noticed that we can't create any new user accounts. We've thought about putting this one in production, just warning the user that they can't change the screen saver, but god only knows what will turn up next.
I'm starting to think it's a logic board issue, but could it be that selective? And would you see the same problem with another hard drive and different install discs? Am I missing something?
BTW, there's a crash log with the other thread.
Andrew
Dual 2.0 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I'm going to mark this one as answered.
I removed the hard drive from the iMac, and put it into another 350 MHz iMac, and everything works great. I can select any screen saver without having it freeze, create new accounts, whatever my little heart desires.
In checking the history of the problem iMac, there was an assortment of problems with booting (both from the hard drive and from the CD-ROM drive) which were never satisfactorily resolved. The problems just seemed to go away after sitting unplugged for a few days, as much as for anything we actually did to it.
Now we just have to decide whether it's worth fixing, or using it somewhere in a non-critical role with OS 9 installed.
Cheers,
Andrew

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.

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?
Andy Forrest

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!

IPhoto freezes when using Crop

When I am editting photos and I use the Criop tool, Iphoto freezed the whole sysyen. This happens whether ZI use the Crop tool as the first step in editting or do other edits first then go to Crop.

I am having the identical problem. I am trying to work on a big Photo Book project and this is very frustrating. Had to reboot x3 yesterday. Thanks for any help.

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

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.

TS2551 Iphoto freezes when going in preferences

since one day my Iphoto 09 freezes when going in preferences. Can anyone help?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then it's your current library that's the culprit.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and 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 #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhoto freezes when iPhone/iPad connected

Following a full TimeCapusle system restore of MacBookAir, iPhoto freezes as soon as an iPhone/iPad is connected.
-iPhoto works fine when nothing connected
-devices never show in sidebar of iPhoto
-Image Capture works fine for devices
-Other USB devices have no effect
-Problem did not exist before TC restore
Have tried:
-reinstalling iPhoto
-restoring device
-repairing system permissions in disk utility
-deleting com.apple.iPhoto.plist
-repairing/rebuilding iPhoto library
-creating new test iPhoto library
I know iPhoto is on its way out, but I would like to fix this until Yosemite and Photos arrive....
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.

Iphoto freezes when iPad2 is connected

I currently have a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion installed.
When ever I connect my Ipad, iPhoto freezes. It takes quite a while for the rainbow spin to disappear and the photos to show up.
When a memory stick or card is used to import pictures Iphoto can be very slow at times.
Is there a fix for this?
(Also, is iPhoto supposed to be a heavy app? It makes my macbook pro quite hot and the fans run quite fast so that I can hear them)
Thank you for your help.

I had suspected the Library as the cause or a bunged up cache file, but that rules both of those out.
Back up and reinstall.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

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.
