Iphoto is not responding after launching

i did the update and not sure if i have to many pics but 77GB is not a lot right?? I've tried everything i could think of please help i want my pics back and is there any other photo app i can install to pull my pics off of my iPhone and iPad other than just iPhoto?

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 do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens? Just a spinning wheel?
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?

    Hi Tim,
    How do you know? You get an error message saying this?
    What Mac & OS are you using?
    How much experience do you have using Logic?
    Have you been using L8 before without problems?
    What MIDI interface are you using? And what Audio Interface?
    And this always happens, no matter how you open Logic?
    Or is this since you've installed it?
    Do you have 3rd party plugins installed?
    regards, Erik.

  • Iphoto not responding after upgrade to Tiger

    I've just upgraded to Tiger. When I try to open iphoto, nothing happens. I get the iphoto screen, with an indication at the bottom that there are 3100 pictures within the program. But the little working wheel just keeps spinning. When I open the program holding the Option key I get a "library not found" message. In answer to the query, I instruct the program to find the library and it locates the "iphoto library" in user/pictures/. But when I click to "open" that library I again get the eternally spinning working wheel and the "force quit applications" screen tells me that Iphoto is not responding. Can anyone help?

    Welcome to Discussions. Other Mac users are here to help.
    There are procedures you should follow before and after an install. I will also list some other things to do if that doesn't work.
    Please do not try to do anything to the database itself - the iPhoto Library Folder in your Pictures Folder.
    Most likely because of updates or installs you need to:
    1. Restart your computer to repair the directory if needed.
    2. Run "Repair Permissions" from Disk Utility located in your Applications>Utilties Folder.
    3. Try iPhoto again. If it doesn't work then QUIT iPhoto.
    4. Your iPhoto preferences file may be corrupted.
    (MAKE SURE you QUIT iPhoto first)
    You will find it in your Home directory:
    (Home/your account) >Library>Preferences>com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Remove or trash the preference (.plist file) and restart iPhoto.
    iPhoto will open like it was the first time
    If it still doesn't work go on to these remedies, in order.
    5. Bad Album data?
    Old Toad says:
    1 - move the Albums folder and the AlbumData.xml file from the iPhoto library folder in your Pictures folder to the desktop.
    2 - launch iPhoto. It if launches successfully you probably have a corrupt album.
    To locate the bad "apple", pun intended, do the following:
    1 - move one of the individual album folders and it's associated data file into the new Albums folder that was created in the iPhoto Library folder.
    2 - launch iPhoto. If it's successful do the same with the next album folder and data file. If iPhoto doesn't launch successfully, that's a bad one and remove it and the data file.
    3 - repeat for each individual album folder in the old Albums folder.
    6. Rebuild Library
    QUIT IPHOTO FIRST
    Relaunch while holding down the key combination below for your version
    Option+Shift IPHOTO 2
    CommandOptionShift IPHOTO 4
    Command+Option IPHOTO 5

  • IPhoto - My iPhoto is not responding. When I click on iPhoto I get a never ending spinning beachball.  I almost think it is looking in the wrong place for the pictures.  How do I redirect it back to the Mac hard drive?

    My iPhoto is not responding.  Whenever I click on the iPhoto icon I get a twirling beachball.  It is as if the machine is looking in the wrong place for the photos.  How can I see where the machine is looking to find out if this is really the problem.  How can I see the path?

    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 the problem lies with your current library.
    If that's the case  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 #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    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 Home/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: 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. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Iphoto does not respond with batch change

    Recently, when I do a batch change for example "descriptions" iphoto does not respond.  I tried to see if it was the number of pictures that I was batch changing but it freezes even with one photo.  I tried rebuilding thumbnails.  Any ideas?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

    Please clarify:
    What is your iPhoto version?
    And what do you mean by "not responding"? Is iPhoto hanging and showing the spinning beachball?
    Can you launch iPhoto, if you hold down the options key while launching and select or create a different library?

  • Chose a photo to print, then the screen went grey (spinning white icon), and iPhoto will not respond

    I chose a picture to print, but instead of a print dialogue box, the screen went grey and iPhoto will not respond.  I have even shut down my iMac completely, but when I relaunch iPhoto, I get the same screen (grey with the spinning "thinking" icon).  I am running the latest version of Yosemite on the iMac.  Thanks for your help.

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair the database  and if necessary rebuild your database

  • Premiere Pro CS6 not responding after adding anything to timeline

    I had been using Premiere CS6 successfully for a while, but starting a few months ago, it started not responding after I did anything.  I can add a title and a transition succesfully to the timeline and it plays fine, but as soon as I add a picture or video clip, it immediately stops responding.  It's frustrating because the program used to work fine before.
    The only thing I can think of that might have affected it was when I upgraded to Mavericks, but I haven't read anything about any serious problems with Premiere running on Mavericks.  I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in advance for the help.
