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 freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

    iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • 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.

  • My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.

    My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.
    When this happens I need to close down the computer and restart.
    Any ideas ?
    I've got Mountain Lion running.
    I'm on a 13" white MacBook with 8GB RAM installed.
    I recently had a 1 TB hard disc installed at the Apple store.

    can you preview it? -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    If that works fine and you still have problems boot into safe mode and try again

  • 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

  • Firefox does not respond when trying to upload photos or files to Facebook, Google+, or similar sites.

    When trying to upload photos to various websites, Firefox brings up the pop up to view and select locations on your computer, but it never fully loads, it just kinda freezes, never allowing you to select files. I eventually get a 'This program is not responding' message and have to force close.

    Second times a charm!!!
    Maybe the link I had 1st time had a bug or something... I had installed it, restarted computer and all, exactly same process... and it had done nothing.
    But download page wasn't the same. Real weird.
    Good thing is, now it works!
    So to anyone who has had same problem, tried the "patch download" solution and didn't have any success (like me previously - which is why I posted)... TRY AGAIN! The link above works!
    Thanks

    It looks to me like it is a problem on your Windows computer not being able to start an application. See the following link to Microsoft Community support (although the specifics of the problem in that case may not be applicable) and also note all of the "Related Content" at the upper right side of that link (and there may be others if you search that forum). http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/the-applicatio n-is-unable-to-start-correctly/bbb9c037-77b3-4fae-93b9-ded70f7f9a17
    It may help if you know or can determine which program Windows is trying to open when you upload photos -- there can be many different ones and it can be set by the user. If you are using Windows 7, you may need to check your Autoplay settings. There are some instructions in the following link that may help and that discuss how you can use Windows Explorer to manually transfer the photos: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • Firefox freezes when trying to upload or download a file. (Antivirus all disabled doesn't help). IE works fine. Happened with v3 and v4. Any clues?

    Firefox locks when trying to upload or download any file, size irrelevant.
    I've disabled firewall and all antivirus apps to no effect.
    This happens with v3 and v4.
    IE works fine.

    '''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
    But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
    I think my computer is breaking down. :(

  • IPhone 6plus camera freezes when trying to take photos from within other apps

    Hi,  8.1 6Plus,   my regular camera turns black screen when trying to take photos from within other apps or sometimes between photos in the regular camera app.  I can still take a photo, I just have no idea what I'm seeing or taking a picture of.   Then when I press retake (in other apps) the screen comes back on and it works.   Its annoying more than anything else.   Any ideas? Have done the whole close apps/restart process.
    Thanks!

    What version of iPhoto? How much disk space did you have before deleting things?

  • IPhone freezes iPhoto and Preview when trying to upload photos.

    Hi everyone, I have been trying to upload my photos to my computer (iMac) for months so I can get them off my phone as I'm out of room. When I try to use either iphoto or preview, mostly I get it the spinning wheel. It stays like that for hours.On the rare occasion through preview, the photos have uploaded and I can save them one by one to a folder, but if I attempt to import all, it just freezes. I've tried restarting the computer and I have got everything stored on an external hard drive so the computers memory is just about the same free space wise as it came from the shop.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello Belisimo,

  • My iphoto freezes when trying to use the standard eBay photo upload, the problem started after a recent iOS 7 update. The album photos don't appear until I try and close the upload and immediately freezes. Attempts to close iphoto fail.

    A week or so ago I reacted to an Apple update message. The update completed and this left me with a couple of problems. When the imac started up there was a Glims message on screen telling me that the computer had not closed entirely and asking if I wanted to allow glims to reopen previously open files. I ticked yes and Safari froze immediately. This would happen even after a restart, Safari would start up with the Glims message on my Yahoo mail account. Then whether I clicked on the Glims message or not one of various adverts would appear and Safari would immediately freeze. I managed to override this by quickly entering Safari extensions and subscribing to an advertisement blocking programme. Safari now worked without problems but the blocking programme created other problems mostly with iphoto. The eBay uploaded photos were minute. So I decided to remove the Safari blocking extension and all seemed fine for everything except iphoto which now freezes every time I try to upload eBay photo's using the eBay standard upload problem. Yesterday I changed to the other BASIC upload option and that did work. Thought it might be a one of glitch on the Standard but obviously not. Anyone's help would be appreciated. I note that at least one other member is experiencing the same or similar problem today.

    Sorry I am 70 and not very computer literate. Please explain in simpler terms. Perhaps I should have said Apple update for my iMac. It did however include an iphoto update. My imac is 3 years old, I also have an ipad 2 and iPhone and both received iOS 7 updates around the same time.

  • Iphoto greyed out when trying to upload photos to Facebook - Help!

    As my title indicates, my iphoto is not accesible for uploading.  Its not just Facebook, I tried uploading pictures to Shutterfly and the same thing happens.  If I try to upload directly from iphotos none of the pictures are selectable.  If I try to go to the shared folder and select pictures and then scroll down to iphoto library, it is greyed out and unselectable.  I don't think that I have made any changes or done anything to cause this.  Please Help!  Also, I am relatively new to my mac.  I know how to get around my everyday stuff, but I'm not a die hard user that knows all of the jargon and secret key functions, so please me very specific with any help you can give.  Thank you!!!

    I had this problem too.
    What I ended up doing was going into iphoto preferences deleted the facebook account I had. This did end access to the albums that I did have previously but once I did that the facebook option was not greyed out anymore. When I choose the facebook sharing option, I did have to give iphoto my facebook login info but the sharing to facebook from with iphoto works fine now.
    I bet the login info for facebook in iphoto got munged. It would be great if iphoto would prompt you to correct your facebook login if it is messed up, like they do for your mail accounts without having to delete your old account.

  • IPhone 5s freezing when trying to send photos

    After I select a picture from camera roll and a contact to send it to, the phone freezes and the message disappears taking me back to the home screen.
    This only happens when trying to send pictures from photo app. When sending by starting from messages, it works just fine.

    Found it... i did not have the window fully expanded and when I did.. there were the options.  I quickly deleted and added my sympatico account and even though I have the BCC ticked, the emails are not showing up in my email inbox.  I have to manually enter my email address in the cc box of the email.  thanks for your time. 

  • 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) ?
