My iPhoto has frozen - what do I do about it?

My iPhoto seems to have frozen on Events, any suggestions please?
I am using 9.4.2 on OS 10.8.2. It has never happened to me before and I simply opened up iPhoto and tried to move to an album, with no effect.
I closed down the computer and opened up again but problem still there !

It has suddenly sorted itself and is fine again!! Mind of its own.

My iphoto has frozen! what do i do?

HELP!!
   IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR 2 DAYS !! AND THE IPHOTO WILL NOT EXIT OR DO ANYTHING!!
                         IT WILL NOT SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF IT SO I HAVE TO LET THE BATTERY RUN OUT AND IT STILL CAME BACK UP ONCE                  CHARGED!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
What happened to your power adapter?   You say you have to let the power run out.
If you just plug in, any power related issue should resolve itself, as long as the power adapter is functioning.
Have you tried command-option-escape? Only unsaved changes will be lost, if you force quit the individual offending application.
Is your data backed up from before you last opened iPhoto? If not, chances are you will be able to save things after you force quit iPhoto, and/or reboot the machine. If not, my backup FAQ* has a recovery section that might help with recommended recovery software: http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
P.S. No need to shout. Using all uppercase on the internet is considered shouting. I don't think your intent was to be rude. This is a user to user forum.

Iphoto has stopped uploading photos and frozen. I have paid online for the book - what to do?

Hi there.. iphoto has stopped uploading photos and the programme has frozen on me. It assembled the book (step 1.), then did not complete the upload (step 2). Prior to these steps I provided my C/C detals and paid for the book. i had to Force Quit the iPhoto app, and now wondering what to do!? If I try to buy the book again, then it asks for my C/C details...

Did you get a confirmation email from Apple? Click on the Store button at the top of this page and use the Account ➙ Track a Purchase link. That will tell you if they received your book. Apple doesn't charge the card until it is shipped. You can also check with your credit card company to see if there's been a charge from Apple.
Try previewing the book by Control-clicking in the background of the view all pages in iPhoto and select Preview Book or Save Book as PDF:
If that process fails then there's a work around for it. Boot into Safe Mode and preview the book again to make sure you can get a PDF of the book. If you can then order the book while still in Safe Mode. Save the PDF file to compare with the printed book. If the PDF file is satisfactory the printed book should match it.
What size book are you ordering? Xtra large?

Mac Pro 2.67 has frozen, curser moves to no effect

Had Iphoto, Mail,Pages and Google open on two screen at time of freeze.

Any ideas?

Unplug AND hit the power button, don't just let it sit.
And yes Apple has changed the tech article on SMC Reset at least 4X.
My link to an older version comes up "Not found" and the idea of keeping and revising seems to have hit the shredder instead.

You need your OEM DVD to invoke and use AHT. It isn't left on the hard drive after updates and reformatting and a enw OS.
DU Status isn't going to find every error with the directory or file system and maybe not with there being bad or weak sectors.
You could format a drive and do a clean install and rebuild from there.
And seeing you have "dual core" then you have 2.66 4-core 2006 and would suspect video card for one, heat and dust, failing DiMM. All reasons to monitor using Temperature Monitor or another app. And helps to actually list off the System Profile (sans ser #) what your hardware actually is, incl. 3rd party add ons and external devices.

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id". Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id" how do i fix

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1" When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application". I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store. Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again". Just want to know how do to fix.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

Iphoto has lost connection with its folder

Hello,
One day I turned on my mac, opened iPhoto and found it empty. I've read various threads and know not to be alarmed as I can see the folder of my pics is still there.
I am however having trouble re-connecting iPhoto to this folder. In the past iPhoto has sorted the folder into numerous sub-folders accredited to the year in which the photos were taken. I cannot connect to the main folder that will include these sub-folders. It always wants me to connect iphoto to a folder with only pics in and not a folder with other folders inside.
Am I going to have to go through the laborious business of moving all my photos into a single folder that will then communiacate with iphoto?
Thanks.

See if you can rebuild your library with iPhoto Library Manager 3.
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto 8.1.2 and later or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) 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 (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) 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.

If the MBA is within 14 days of the purchase date from an Apple sore, you may return it for a refund or an exchange.
Regarding the specific problem you are facing, can you provide more details, such as the application that you were using and exactly what the response was.
Ciao.

My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. None of the buttons will work to turn it off or take any action. Holding down buttons for 10 seconds plus does not work.Help

My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. The on/ff and sleep buttons will not work whether pressed for a moment or held for more than 10 seconds as per help pages. When connected to computer it is not recognised and no indication in "devices".It has been working perfectly from Christmas until now. Was watching a TV prog via BBC iplayer when the image and sound froze for about 5 seconds then just white screen. Help

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

I updated the software on my 2009 MBP to Mountain Lion. Since then, my iPhoto has been unable to open my photo library. I have updated iPhoto, and still no luck. Any ideas for fixing this problem?

HT4910 My iCal has frozen after I tried to paste info from an email into a reminder. I get a "server reports an error" message with what I tried to paste in the box. Calendar is frozen and will only close by forcing it. Any help?

My iCal has frozen after I tried to paste info from an email into a reminder. I get a "server reports an error" message with what I tried to paste in the box. Calendar is frozen and will only close by forcing it. Any help?

Did another window open with the pasted information? If so, try hitting "enter/return" key and "delete" key at the same time. That should get rid of the current action on the ical, the extra window should go bye-bye, and all should be fine with the world.
