IPhoto hangs when connecting camera

I am having trouble connecting my camera to iPhoto. I have used my camera with iPhoto fine for years but has recently stopped working. When I connect the camera, iPhoto loads up and the camera appears on the left in the sidebar, but it hangs while trying to display the photos on the camera. I have the same problem with image capture. The only way I've been able to get photos off it is by copying them from the memory card in the Finder.
I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto library and have restored from a backup but it's still not working. Any ideas?
Details: iPhoto 9.1.3, Mac OS X 10.6.8.

I have had pretty much the same problems as you in both iphoto and image capture and had to use simple copy & paste in Finder to get things off the card. As suggested above reformatting the SD card on the speciifc camera was the only effective solution. I even bought a new SD card and had the same problem until I formatted that on the device specifically.
This seems (to me) to be a problem with the most recent versions of iphoto 9.1.3 & 9.1.5. By chance I have also been connecting my camera to another machine which is running iphoto 08, it has had no problem with either SD cards all the way through.

PSE 12 don't start when connecting camera

Photodownlaoder don't start when connecting camera or sd card. Even when its started manually, the media won't get imported to harddisk.
I'm using windows 8. Camera is tested on several computers with differnet fot software and funtions perfect. PSE 12 causes me trouble...

One more information:
this is my second iPhone that I use on the mac. I gave my first phone back to the dealer because
of some cracks in the housing and I activate this second phone.
Maybe this is the reason, that iTunes doesn´t react ?
Can I control or delete the first iPhone (or must I do this ?)
Where can I look after all my confirmed iPhones and iPods on my iTunes ?
Many questions; I know....

My iPhoto hangs when I try to import video

My iPhoto hangs when I try to import video - I have a mac mini and am on OS X ver. 10.9.2, it started doing this when I upgraded to iPhoto ver 9.5.1
Mac mini (Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), iPhoto 9.5.1

What's the source of the video? Any error messages?
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.

Iphoto hangs when attempting to print photo

iphoto hangs when attempting to print photo even after rebuilding library

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

ITunes 11.1 hangs when connecting to iCloud. How can I download 11.0.5?

Arrrrgh! iTunes 11.1 hangs on my system Windows 7 x64 when trying to connect to iCloud. It runs fine if I start it in safe mode (I have no third party plug-ins installed).
How do I download iTunes 11.0.5???? I've been searching on the Internt for the last 1/2 hour and it looks like Apple prevents users from downloading 11.0 once 11.1 (piece of crap) is out. WHY?????????

Hi,
I've been able to resolve the problem of iTunes crashing by emptying the SycServices folder - by following the steps described at the foot of this comment. I've also been able to sync my iPhone contacts with my Address Book ...but I cannot sync my Address Book with Outlook 2011 ... and thus my iPhone linking to Outlook 2011.
I'm aware that 'Sync Services' were depreciated in 10.8 and was hoping that this would be restored in full in v: 10.9.3. I understand that MicroSoft needs Sync Services to be reintroduced into the OS to enable the sync to work again for linking up with Outlook 2011 - which appear to be blank in my Sync Services preferences window as follows ....
I would be mighty grateful for any ideas/solutions on how to resolve this problem. Synching Outlook 2011 with my iPhone was so easy in the past!
Simon
Back up all data.

IPhoto launches when a camera is connected

I recently installed the newest version of iPhoto, and on the first startup it asked me if I wanted "iPhoto to start when a camera is connected to the computer". I mistakenly pressed "yes", and now I can't find anywhere in the preferences where I can turn this feature off. I'd much rather organize the photos on my hard drive before importing them to iPhoto, so I would appreciate it if this feature could be turned off.

Hi A,
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.

Imovie hangs when connected to camera

Imovie '12 hangs as soon as I connect camera (panasonic HDC-SD100) to import video material. Who as any idea what I do wrong?

It is possible that over time your SDHC card has become fragmented. You can fix this by using the menu of the Panasonic to initialize the card. It would be best to try this with an empty card, because if you initialize the current card, you will lose anything that is on it.
If you need to get clips off the current card, and iMovie is not seeing them, I would suggest that you close iMovie and open Disk Utility. Select your card in Disk Utility and create a disk image of the card. Now, mount the disk image and see if iMovie can see the disk image. This may not work, but it is your best shot.
You also might try trashing your preference files (although I think this is less likely to help, it is easy and can't hurt.) See here for how.

IPhoto hangs when attempting to import certain CR2 files

Hi everyone.
After 3 months of owning and using my MacBook, I have finally found that iPhoto isn't a bad software at all, and I want to start using it. So of course the first thing I did was to import some recent photos I made.
By now I have successfully imported JPG and CR2 files from my external FAT32 HDD. But there are some CR2 files that make iPhoto hang: Actually not the whole application hangs, but only the import section (it is still possible to browse albums etc). clicking the "Stop" button won't change a thing, despite the text "stopping..." underneath the progress bar.
A friend of mine tried to import one of the regarding CR2 files, and it worked on his PowerBook G4 - same software versions.
Help. I don't know what to do. Been searching for a solution for days. Thanks in advance for every hint.
MacBook 13" Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPhoto 6.0.5 (316); Camera: Canon EOS 350D / Digital Rebel XT

Ah - sorry, it's hard to gauge what level of expertise people have and probably safer to underestimate than overestimate.
So any messages in Console when iPhoto hangs? Sometimes those are human-readable and offer clues.
What about opening the file using QuickTime? Does that work?
It's possible you ran into an actual bug, but it's hard to tell without the files. If you manage to isolate the exact files that cause the hang, you could try other things, like import them to a newly created library (option-launch iPhoto just in case you didn't know)
You could also dig through the EXIF data that Preview shows (Cmd-I) and see if those files have anything in common, like a bogus value for aperture or focal length or something. I know a friend complained about photos taken by the manual Lensbaby lenses, but I don't know if that has been addressed in recent updates.

IPhoto "hangs" when Loading Library

I'm having an issue with iPhoto, where, when I launch it, the app appears to open, but in the middle, where the photos are normally displayed, it hangs up saying "loading library", with the spinning gray cog wheel.
No photos ever load, yet the program never crashes. It just stays in this state.
I have opened iPhoto on a test users account, although none of my photos were present, but the app opened right up, leaving me thinking it's related to my normal user account.
I have tried trashing the iphoto plist preference from my user preferences folder, but that did nothing. Same thing happens...
iPhoto is version 5.0.4, and I'm running OS 10.4.11
Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

Jim,
Another test - create a new library in your regular user account and see if it works. Hold the Option key as you launch iPhoto, select "Create Library". Give it a different name so you don't overwrite your current library. Does a new, empty library open? Import some test photos and see if it works. If so...
It sounds like the database in your library is damaged beyond repair. Do you have an up-to-date backup? If not, you can try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It sometimes is successful when iPhoto's rebuild fails. Also, it creates a new library for the rebuild, so if it doesn't work you can just trash the new library with no harm done.
If iPLM can't rebuild the library, then you may have to start over with a new library. You can follow the steps under "Manual Rebuild" in the Apple article referenced above. Before you do, I recommend you read lori_diloreto's post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1853164. She describes an alternate (better) way to repopulate your library, and she details what you should expect if you follow her instructions.
Regards.

Automatic import when connecting camera?

My PC is a Windows Home Premium 64 bit system. In one of the Adobe tutorials on importing, it sounded like Lightroom would automatically start the process when connecting a camera to a USB port. But that doesn't happen for me. I can import by starting Lightroom, clicking the import button, then selecting the camera device. Can Lightroom be configured to automatically start and select the camera device when the camera is plugged in?

Sqlplus hanging when connecting by specifying user/pwd

Hi All,
Oracle 11G R2 on WIndows 2008 R2
I have cloned a server, serverA, and created a new server, lets say serverB. Two things i changed for this serverB:
1) edited tnsnames entry so that the alias TST now points to this new serverB hostname (previously it was pointing to serverA)
2) deleted and recreated the listener
Now when i try to connect to my instance using sqlplus and the username/pwd, it hangs here:
D:\ORACLE\DATABASE\ORA11G\database>sqlplus sys/blahblhablhar@tst as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Tue May 7 15:18:36 2013
Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.If i try to connect using
D:\ORACLE\DATABASE\ORA11G\database>sqlplus / as sysdba - IT WORKS.
I tried to recreate my pwd file using orapwd and no luck.
Any ideas as to why i cannot connect using the first method? Also, when i try to connect to this instance using SQL developer from my laptop, it also hangs when i do the 'Test' button..??
Thanks in advance.

OCIStmtExecute hangs when connection is lost

Hi,
If the connection to the Oracle server for some reason is lost, the call to OCIStmtExecute could hang for several minutes. When OCIStmtExecute finally returns a new call to OCIStmtExecute does not hang but of course it returns with error.
How can I prevent OCIStmtExecute from hanging several minutes first time when connection is lost?
I'm using nonblocking mode, but it obviously doesnt prevent OCIStmtExecute from hanging the first time after connection loss.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance!
Br,
Ole Hansen

Although Bug 18336207 is still in status "80 - Development to QA/Fix Delivered Internal" - it seems that it was fixed in the final Release 3 (v4.121.2.20141216)
(at least I can't reproduce it anymore).
Thanks
