IPhoto open, but won't appear

I switched users from my wife's account back to my account. Once I returned to her account to work on an iPhoto calendar I received a "resolution" issue on the desktop screen, but and now I can't open the appilcation. It still shows as open on the dock (light under icon). When I use a two finger click it tells me that iPhot is checked as well. If I try to open "show all windows" I get a small shaded buble on the desktop screen that says "iPhoto".
I'm afraid to force quit the iPhoto application due to two calendars open at the same time. Both of these took a lot of work and I don't want to lose them. Im not sure if the data is saved or not.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have a MacBook Pro (15 inch) version 10.7.4. I'm pretty sure that I am using iPhoto 11, but can' say for certain.

I checked the card and it was not locked. However, I tried the card locked and unlocked just in case and it still didn't work. Thanks though!

Iphoto opens but won't load help please

i have 13" inch macbok pro mac osx lion. my iphoto will open but when it does not load it just keeps spinning please help

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

HT1386 I installed Snow Leopard and have the latest version of iTunes. However, when I connect my iPhone, it charges and iPhoto opens, but iTunes doesn't seem to recognize the iPhone. It simply doesn't appear in the left column. What gives?

IPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens. I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive.

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.

I can't delete apps on my iPad does anybody knows how to fix it. Also I can't open any iWork apps ,they open but won't show anything.

I can't delete apps on my iPad does anybody knows how to fix it. Also I can't open any iWork apps ,they open but won't show anything.

If the whole iPad freezes then something else is going on. Try this next. Close all apps in the recents tray and restart your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Pages opened but no window appeared

Hello,
I have problems with Pages 5.1
I tried to launch the program. It is opened but no window appears. when I clicked on the Pages icon on the dock, the menubar on top of the sceen is well the menubar of Pages. I also tried to open some documents of mine and start new document but no window comes up. When I looked in the menubar >Window I can see list of documents I tried to open + untitled documents. Even if I tried to click Bring all windows to front, nothing happen.
Does somebody have any solution to this?
Apparently it's not only Pages but also Keynote that manifests this behavior.
Thanks in advance.

How many displays do you have?
Are they all turned on?
Are your documents minimised to your Dock?

When i try uploading/attaching a pic why does iphoto open but closes without letting you choose a picture?

my computer will no longer let me upload any pictures to facebook or attach any pictures through email. everytime i try, iphoto opens but before i get the chance to choose a picture, the iphoto automatically closes and it does that everytime i try.. how can i fix that?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Other than that, what version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later try

Everytime i try to open my itunes, nothing appears on the screen. It says that my itunes is already open but there is nothing on my screen or on my taskbar that relates to itunes.
some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
(3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

Photoshop open but won't show...

I was in the process of using Photoshop today, when I clicked the scrollbar, and the program suddenly disappeared as if it had closed. The program still appears to be open on the dock, but no amount of clicking will make it show. When I ctrl-click the icon, the menu opens, but none of the options work. It doesn't say it is "not responding."
I don't want to just quit and reopen, because I have not saved the projects I was working on, and I have spent hours on them. If anyone could tell me how to save these without being able to open the program, I would be grateful.

ITunes Opens, But Won't Play/iTunes Has Detected A Problem With Audio

iTunes 7.4.3 and XP Pro on Dell laptop. The application opens, but no song plays. It appears at the top, but stays at zero. It keeps saying, " iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration." When in control panel, it says there is no audio device. Already checked it as default player. Tried repairing and nothing. Is it a driver? The last time I installed itunes on a pc, about 6 months ago, it worked fine. Maybe try an older version? Any help is appreciated.

See if this helps:

thank you

2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your

If that brings the library back do not try deleting all of the photos at one time. iPhoto is notoriously finickey about deleting large numbers of photos at one time. Create a new empty album, Shift+Command+N, and drag the photos into it. Then in the album add a unique keyword to them.
After the keyword has been assigned select all of the photos in the trash bin and drag onto the iPhoto icon to return them back to their Events. Then go to the album and and select about 100 at a time and type Command+Option+Delete to move them to the trash bin and empty the bin.

IPhoto opens but the color wheel just spins

All of a sudden, when I open up iphoto, the last import screen opens, but I get the dreaded spinning color wheel. I have to either turn off the iMac or use the force quit option to get out of the application. I have been using iPhoto for a long time with good results so this issue has me very confused. I first noticed it when we connected our iPhone (3g) to the Mac and it launched iPhoto and wanted to sync all the photos on the phone. We generally just cancel that function. Could that have damaged the iPhoto application?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
