Iphoto not working freezes upon opening

I have an IMAC that ive had since 2009 its software is 10.5.6 with a 266 GHZ intel core 2 duo processor im not sure which iphoto i actually have i know its the application that came with the computer but i have TONS of pictures i do not want to lose on my computer and everytime i click the iphoto icon it pops up and i see all my pictures listed in events but as soon as i click somewhere else on the window i mean anywhere it does not respond the color wheel just spins......and the only way to get out is force quit and an error report pops up.......i have already reloaded the applications and software from each cd that originally came with the computer and still nothing....can any one please help.....

Of course, you have a back up of your Library.
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.

  • Mail app freezes upon opening after Mavericks install

    Following my installation of mavericks, apple mail app freezes upon opening. Windows do not open; program immediately begins "not responding." Having followed this with a force quit loop for a day, I installed airmail, a serviceable alternative, but not well integrated with address book. As such, I'm interested in finding a fix for mail app. Advice will be greatly appreciated.

    I have same problem with my macbook pro 2009
    Worked fine when first installed now mail app fails to open. Not the same issue as with macbook airs.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

    It means, tentatively, that system files are missing or damaged and you will have to reinstall Snow Leopard. See the following:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Iphoto not working after 10.5.2

    After 10.5.2 and graphic updates, iPhoto does not work any more. When I launch it, after a few seconds it quits by itself, with Console message "segmentation fault".
    Tried erasing preference file, with no results; Don't know what to do

    Oops. Missed that last sentence. See if you can create a new library by launching iPhoto with the Option key depressed and selecting Create new library when asked what to do. If you can't get iPhoto to create and open a new library then it's not your old library that's at fault.
    You're image files are stored in the Originals folder inside the iPhoto Library package. It is located in your Pictures folder.
    If you can open iPhoto with a new library then rebuilding your current library is an option. Heres' what you'll need to do. Move the temp library that you created to the trash leaving only your original iPhoto Library package in the Pictures folder. Then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. If that doesn't resurrect the library continue with the following:
    How old is the AlbumData.xml file that you replaced in the library? Did you do any importing of photos between the time it was created and now? If not then you can keep it and try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It uses the information in the AlbumData.xml file to create a new library which will have the events, albums, keywords, titles and comments intact. You will lose any books, slideshows, cards, etc. Here's how to use iPLM to rebuild:
    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.

  • IPhoto not working all of a sudden!

    Just to start this off, yesterday, iphoto worked perfectly fine. All the things that I am trying to do today, I did yesterday without an issue. Furthermore, I have not installed anything from the time it worked until the time it stopped.
    So, the problem. When I opened iPhoto today it seemed to work fine for internal things like making albums, and such. However, if I attempted to export photos to mail or open in an external editor (Photoshop) it didn't work. In the case of Mail, the progress bar pops up and it appears to be sending the photos, but then nothing happens. If I open mail and try to drag photos to Mail, it gives me the little '+' symbol, but the photos do not show up in mail. If I try to 'edit photos in external editor', Photoshop opens but the pictures don't come in (no errors are reported). On top of all this, if I try to quit iPhoto, nothing happens. iPhoto does not close, but continues to work normally for organizing and moving photos.
    My first attempt at a solution was to repair permissions (that fixes EVERYTHING). That seemed to work. I opened iPhoto again grabbed a random photo and sent it to Mail, no problem. Figuring this was solved, I then got the real photos and tried to send them to mail and the problems all came back. I began to think it was those photos, so I tried to send the one that worked a moment ago, but the problem continued on that one as well. I then remembered that 7.0.2 had just come out so I updated that, but the problem continued. I then repaired permissions again, but no luck.
    Anyone have ANY ideas?!?!?

    friane
    Repairing Permissions only works on System Files, not data files such as your pics. Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

  • Iphoto not working after time machine install

    I have a first gen intel iMac and the hard drive had a sudden failure I was not overly concerned about my Data as I use time machine. I had a new Hard Drive installed and I used time machine to install back to snow leopard. all seems fine for a few days and every thing (software and hard ware (scanner)) was working fine. then I opened iPhoto to add a few new photos and all I get is the spining beach ball the library is 26 gig in size and was working fine before. I am at a loss as I still have all 9745 original photos on back up drive but not in order like in iPhoto and really don't want to recreate my library all over again. I've done disk permissions and only seem to have a problem with Java any body got any ideas?

    Hi there Guys
         I don't know if this is a true fix but my iPhoto 11 is now working iPhoto had an update and I did it to both my iPhoto programs (mac book and iMac) I then opened the not working librery on the laptop and it said the library need to be updated it did this and opened okay and all was working fine (I copied library on to a portable FireWire HD) when I copied it back to my iMac it said the same and went through the update and is now working fine.

  • Firefox freezes upon opening

    Firefox was working beautifully before. Just recently it does this. It will open up like normal and even open up links if I click from a message or something. But as soon as I being typing something on or click something in the webpage it will freeze and not let me do anything. The weird part is, if i open up new tabs, it will not show any new tabs because the screen is frozen, but when i exit out it will say I have opened up tabs. So it recognizes my actions but the screen is frozen. I have tried reinstalling, it did not work. Any ideas?

    Perchance, did you use an external program, like Ccleaner, to clear your cache and cookies?
    If so, that program may have cleaned too well and in the process it broke your Profile.
    My advice is to create a new Profile and see if Firefox will launch.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    Just create the new Profile, don't delete your current ''(broken?)'' Profile just yet. If that fixes your problem, report back here and someone here can help you recover your data from the existing ''(broken?)'' Profile.

  • TS2755 Messages freeze upon opening

    Upon opening messages it freezes.  I would like to try to delete messages?

    HI,
    When iChat 3 came out someone tested whether it would work on the platform that was running iChat 2 and also tested whether iChat 2 would work on the later OS.
    This eventually led to the Reinstall procedure for iChat 3 up to the iChat 5 version.
    Since then the app has required either a Backup version from when it was working, a copy on another machine running the same OS and app version numbers (the two go hand in hand) or you have to Reinstall the whole OS which will always update you to the latest version of the OS (and in the case of Messages any updates it has had).
