Iphoto running super slow even after upgrading to 11', iphoto running super slow even after upgrading to 11'

iphoto is taking FOREVER to edit and move through photos. Any help?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    If you didn't do a complete reinstall from the original media, then you need to do it. Adobe software doesn't do migration well.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite iPhoto does not open

    After upgrading to Yosemite iPhoto will not work. Does not work even after installing iPhoto Library Upgrader. Any suggestions

    Does not work even after installing iPhoto Library Upgrader. Any suggestions
    You not only have to download the iPhoto Library Upgrader but you also have to run it on the library.  It'll be in the Applications/Utilities folder.  Double click on it to launch and it will automatically locate the last library you worked with and convert it.

  • IPhoto Library 'disappeared' after Yosemite crash and iPhoto upgrade

    I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite and have been using iPhoto fine since then (although it is a bit slow),  yesterday iPhoto crashed the computer, after several restarts the computer was ok, but iPhoto wouldn't load and then said it needed to be upgraded - So I did this and when I opened this again it crashed then said that it needed to upgrade the library and then it crashed (iPhoto) when I restarted it started with no library and would appear to have overwritten the iPhoto (default) library, I have checked this and although there are other libraries, I am aware of these and these are not my missing library.  I found some information on http://www.scanyourentirelife.com/all-my-pictures-in-iphoto-disappeared-how-to-s afely-get-them-back/ and this talks about looking in the 'Masters' file but to be very careful as altering this will cause problems with edits etc.  Anyway I found that in my directory a file called 'Old Masters' as well as 'Masters' and it would appear that all of my pictures are now in 'Old Masters'.
    So I am opening the right file but how do I make the 'Old Masters' the 'Masters' - is it as easy as shifting the files or changing the name on the file?
    Tech Stuff - My iMac is running 10.10 Yosemite and is about 1 year old 27" version and I keep everything up to date (for my sins) - My library 700+ events and is about 176gb in size
    Your help would be appreciated

    Armelle,
    there is unfortunately not yet any known way to repair an iPhoto Library, that got corrupted during the upgrade by a crash.
    You can either restore your iPhoto library from the last backup you made before you tried to upgrade the library, and then try to upgrade again.
    Or if your last backup cannot be restored or is too old, copy all photos you can find in the iPhoto Library package and import them into a new iPhoto Library.
    but I can see my picture in "old Thumbnails".
    The "Old Thumbnails" are only smaller sized versions of your photos. Don't you at least have "Old Originals" or "Old Modified"?

  • Upgraded to 3.0.2.   After loading my concert CPU runs high, audio crashes after a few notes.

    I have a MBP 5.5, C2D 8G RAM, not a powerhouse but it has worked flawlessly with my Focusrite Scarlett audio interface. I have concert projects with 1-2 dozens of programs, using EXS24, ES2... etc.. and NI's KOMPLETE9. All legal copies.
    Before the 3.0.2 upgrade it has worked flawlessly with 128 or 256 buffer size. Now it seems very unstable. After loading my concert it stops to work correctly after even a program change. CPU runs up to the top for a few seconds then down. Then up again... latency goes very slow then after playing a few chords audio crashes, no MIDI, .... then MS3 is seems dead. What the **** is going on? I have a gig tomorrow. HEEELP!
    Is it possible to downgrade to MS 3.0.1?
    Thanks!

    I am having similar issues since updating from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2.
    I've just spent most of my weekend trying to figure out what's going on. Alas, to no avail.
    I have however made a few observations.
    Firstly, the CPU spikes occur especially when a patch is called up and played for the very first time after starting the app and loading a concert. In such a case, the CPU spikes (to some ridiculously high value like 166456%) and it takes a couple of seconds before the system returns to normal operation. During that time, there are major audible artifacts or dropouts.
    BUT – after a certain patch has been played once (and the described cpu spikes have occurred), I can then later switch to that patch again without any issues. It seems to only happen when a patch is played for the first time!
    Can anyone confirm this?
    Also, I suspect that this issue might be limited to older machines which have a Core2Duo processor. There seem to be quite a few people who report similar problems on the internet, who say that they are running a C2D.
    In my case, I have two machines (one main rig and one backup machine). The main machine is a MacBookPro8,2 which runs on a Core i7 (2.2GHz, 8GB RAM). The backup machine is a MacBookPro5,1 which runs on a Core 2 Duo (2.4GHz, 4GB RAM)
    Of these, only the backup machine (C2D) seems to be affected! This machine was running MS 3.0.1 just fine, but it obviously can't handle 3.0.2 at all.
    On the other machine (i7) however, I don't notice any changes at all. Here 3.0.2 runs just as well as 3.0.1 did.

  • I cannot run iPhoto after update to Yosemite.  I cannot update iPhoto because the application store does not have any iPhoto update available.  Anyone can advice how to overcome this hassle?

    After update to Yosemite 10.10.3 the iPhoto program icon is banned and there is an error message that an update is required to run iPhoto, but the application store shows a message that iPhoto does not have any update available at this time.  There is not even any iPhoto program available on the application store.  Any suggestion on how to solve this annoyance?

    Unfortunately, Apple has removed both iPhoto and Aperture from the Mac App Store so they cannot be downloaded anymore. This means you are forced to migrate to Photos (included in OS X 10.10.3) or, if this app does not include features you need, look for a different app.
    Not true. Apple has removed both Apps from App Store so you cannot buy them anymore. But if you have any of these Apps already purchased in the past, then you can still download them on your Mac.

    Open App Store, sign in with your Apple ID and go to Purchases tab. If you see iPhoto app listed there close down the App Store and do this steps as this is what worked for me:
    Open Finder and go to Applications folder.
    Locate iPhoto app
    Drag iPhoto app from your Applications folder to Trash (NOTE: Do not emptied Trash yet)
    Open App Store app and navigate to Purchases tab.
    Click on Install button which is next to the iPhoto app (on the right hand side).
    Once iPhoto is downloaded again, test it if its working for you. If all is ok, you can remove your Trash.

  • After Upgrade to Yosemite, all apps are slow.

    I upgraded to Yosemite  and all applications are slow.  ( as e.g.. starting to type in this box give me beachball for 2 seconds initially) A big difference in speed from Mavericks to Yosemite. Opening system preferences takes 3 seconds to load, and clicking on Users & Groups takes 25 seconds to open.
    I do not have fire vault enabled.  I did a safe boot and some apps did appear to open faster. Also did a repair disk and rebooted.  No change. When Safari is open it takes 5 seconds to open a new window.   I ran EtreCheck and the report is as follows;
    Thanks for any help;( After pasting the EtreCheck text file, I clicked on this box to add the Thanks... , it took 2-3 seconds for the beach ball to stop spinning.)

    You could do that, but when setting up your new iMac it is a much better idea to transfer only your existing User Accounts. In other words when Setup Assistant appears, de-select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" and "Other files and folders". That way you will eliminate the possibility of reinstalling potentially incompatible software from your existing Mac or its TM backup. It's best to create new printer queues and preferences anyway.
    Your venerable HP 1012 will probably work without any difficulty but if you need its driver download it here. If it gives you trouble try OS X's generic PostScript driver.
    After configuring your user account, install original versions of your essential software from their original sources. In other words if you installed them via download from the developer's website, download them again. You might need license keys so gather them. Obviously the Mac App Store makes things easy since anything you obtain from there is already linked to your Apple ID and is easily reinstalled by going to your Purchases page.
    Don't reinstall things like AppCleaner, CleanMyMac, Western Digital "Smartware" or any of that junk. You don't need it. MacFUSE is outdated. Research Prolific Technology for potential updates for their serial controller. The one you have may work, or not, but you should re-download its driver.
    Consider abandoning Microsoft altogether and migrating to better solutions such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. They are all free with a purchase of a new Mac and are far more integrated with OS X than anything Microsoft will ever be able to accomplish.
    The Burr-Brown USB device is unknown to me, so research TI's website for support if you need it.
    If your essential software was distributed on optical media, you can use OS X's "DVD or CD sharing" feature to remotely mount the older iMac's optical drive so that you can install its software. It will work as though that drive were physically installed on your new Mac. Having said that, anything that was distributed on optical media is highly likely to have been outdated a long time ago.
    If your essential software is old, orphaned, no longer supported, or is no longer available, meaning you have the only viable copy, the only option is to transfer it from the TM backup or older Mac. In that case be very cognizant of the likelihood for incompatibility, and have a plan for uninstalling it should it cause adverse effects. Creating a new TM backup is the way to do that. A new external HD dedicated to the new Mac is a cheap investment. When you are certain you no longer require the older Mac's TM backup, you can erase it and use it as an additional, redundant TM backup or "clone" repository – whichever you decide is best for your backup needs.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks, iPhoto does not work

    I have an iMac early 2011, with dual hard drives. After upgrading to Mavericks, iPhoto and several other apps are no longer "installed". The following apps have a white circle with a line through it in my main Applications folder on my primary hard drive: Calculator, Chess, Font Book, iChat, iPhoto, Mail, Photo Booth, Preview, Safari, System Prefernces. Also, under the Utilities folder, these are inaccessible: Activity Monitor, System Information, Disk Utility.
    I tried following this thread's advice: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5539268
    I had iPhoto 9.3.2 on my main drive. I downloaded the 9.4.3 upgrade from here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#consumersoftware
    When I try to install, I get the following message: iPhoto 9.1 or later is required to install this update. Where did my software disappear to?
    Every Apple upgrade so far has been a nightmare. A previous upgrade of iPhoto bricked the computer and had to bring it to professionals to fix. I am dreading the 10.9.2 "critical upgrade" for the OS that keeps poping up. The Mavericks upgrade also wiped out my Adobe Creative Suite install and several other apps.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You need iPhoto ver 9.5.1 to be Maverick compatable.
    Use the software update, look for the new app in your Applications folder along side your old versions of iPhoto. Drag the new icon down to the Dock.
    Moving from 10.6.8 the old PowerPC apps are no longer supported. I believe Lion you could still run  the Rosetta to keep the old ppc apps alive. No more with Mountain Lion and now Mavericks. Sooner or later you have to keep up with technology and keep apps up to date.

  • Aperture 3 keeps crashing on me, consistently. More frequently after using Burn tool or skin smoothing - and even more often when I feather. What can I do? I already upgraded my RAM. I'm at a loss!

    Aperture 3 keeps crashing on me, consistently. More frequently after using Burn tool or skin smoothing - and even more often when I feather. What can I do? I already upgraded my RAM. I'm at a loss!

    4) When my computer crashes, once it starts again, it says "repairing" ... but I am not familiar with reparing permissions -- can you explain how I might do that?
    If you are running OS X Lion, then you can restart your computer and then press and hold the 'Option' key immediately after you hear the start up 'gong' (usually heard when grey screen shows as it restarts).
    You should see at least two Disks to choose from. Choose 'Recovery Disk' and wait for it to load, then choose 'Disk Utility' option in the Utilities dialog.
    Once Disk Utility loads, do the following:
    1 - In the left hand pane, choose your system partition (usually called either 'Macintosh HD' or 'Macintosh SSD'). Note - don't choose the actual hard drive listed above the partition when using Disk Utility in OS X Lion as this doesn't offer options for repairing due to it including the Recovery Disk you have loaded in memory.
    2 - Click the 'First Aid' tab
    3 - Click the 'Repair Disk Permissions' button in lower portion of main pane and allow to complete. Ideally, you will get a final message in main pane saying Disk Permissions are repaired.
    4 - At lower right of same pane, click the 'Repair Disk' button and allow to complete. Ideally, you will get a final message indicating that Disk Repair is completed and all appears to be good.
    5 - Quit Disk Utility > Close Utilities dialog window > Click 'Restart' button (confirm as needed).
    You should boot straight into the system partition when complete.
    Note - any red text in the main pane text while running the repairs will be issues and you will need to follow the advice given or post back.
    If you are running Snow Leopard; then (as David mentions) boot from your first OS X reinstall disc and run the Disk Utility the same way; except you select the actual hard drive listed at top of left pane (not the partition below it). This is because Snow Leopard does not use a 'Recovery Disk' partition and repairs can be run on the HD or SSD itself.
    Hope that helps.

  • Two libraries after latest OS X & iPhoto upgrade?!?

    Just upgraded OS X to 10.8.2 and iPhoto to the new version.  Now, whenever I launch iPhoto while holding down the Alt key (to manually choose the library so that it gets repaired on launch), I see TWO libraries listed: iPhoto Library and iPhoto Library.
    When I use Finder or two terminal to look at the folder, there is only ONE library listed.
    The behavior, number of pictures, albums, etc. is identical no matter which library I choose to launch.
    I've even tried manually choosing my library, opening and closing iPhoto, rebooting several times, same thing.
    The WEIRD thing is that I have the SAME probably on two different Macs: 2007 MBP and 2010 MBA.  They each have completely different libraries, two!  The MBP library has 40,000 pictures.  The MBA library has 6 pictures.
    The only other difference is that on the MBP Atl-launch window, in the two listings of iPhoto Library and iPhoto Library to choose from in the window, the first listing has the word "(default)" after it.
    Because of the size of the library on the MBP (120 GB), I know that the second "iPhoto Library" is merely a pointer, or shortcut, to my iPhoto Library.  If there really was a completely separate library with all the pictures, I would have 120 GB less free space.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    If you click on the bottom library what is the file path that is  displayed?
    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 (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    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 2:  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.

    How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

    There is no reason to be running beta software, I doubt it will even still run as iOS 6 has been officially released.  Or were you simply trying to be funny? 
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • After I upgraded to Yosemite iphoto can't recognize my backup CDs which were created in iLife09. Ihave the original applications install disk and my old hard drive(I upgraded  to SSD). How do I get a n iphoto back to read by old CDs?

    After I upgraded to Yosemite,iPhoto can't recognize my backup CDs created in iLife 09. The applications install disk won't install iphoto because iphoto 9.5 is already installed..I updated to a SSD and have the original Hard Drive with an updated iphoto which recognized the older CDs(thanks to iphoto expander). I thought that the iphoto that transferred with the new hard drive was the same as what was on the old one. I guess it wasn't. I really need to access my backups.   HELP

    Later version of iPhoto write to the library on opening, and so cannot open libraries on optical media, as that cannot be written to. Further, optical media is going e way of the floppy disk. Therefore, you need to use a different form of archiving and back up going forward.
    To allow iPhoto to open these libraries you need to copy them to your Mac or an attached external disk.
    To merge them into an existing Library will require that you use either Aperture (if you have it) or iPhoto Library Manager.

    While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help

    I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!
