Iphoto opens but cant access it

When i click on iphoto it does not appear on my screen. If i hit F3 to bring up all of the open tiles it is there but if i try to click it it disappears, it looks like it slides down into the dock. i can see the 'welcome to iphoto 09 window that i usually just close and i can see the library behind it.

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

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.

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. Anyone have ideas on how to get to them?

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.

Changing body text is not simple. It's a desperate last resort. You need to buy the exact font. Acrobat will not let you edit in a font you don't own. Even then, it's undertain. Consider preparing an overlay in InDesign.

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?

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
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. .

I have a macBook Pro, I have downloaded an ibook but cant access to read it. Can I read it on my laptop?

No. iBooks are only readable on an iDevice like an iPad or iPod Touch.
You might try using a third-party program like calibre 0.8.28 that can read the format used for iBooks.

Full bars, 3g connected, but cant access internet

please help me, i'm using TELKOMSEL (indonesian) i have data plans, and it's 4gb, the thing is, as i said Full bars, 3g connected, but cant access internet, i tried to access google using safari, chrome, but still the same message, network not available, those things.... PLEASE HELP ME..

It sounds like a poor data connection. I get the same thing when I try to use AT&T here in my house. It shows 4G and 3 bars but I get little to no data at all. If that is what is happening to you, you can try another carrier if there is one.
Here, I can get LTE at my house and about 10-15Mbps on T-Mobile. Switching carriers can make the difference.

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!

Please help. I have a new nano, but I cant access the iTunes store. When I click on the store it tells me I am accessing the store, but nothing happens. When I have clicked on the help function I am told my computer is not connected to the Internet, which is not correct - I usually have other sites running at the time.
Please help.
Thanks,

Try switch off virus scanner and firewall.
