Iphoto shuts down my macbook?

whenever I open iphoto it freezes my macbook

Hi Bobwilt81,
If you are having an issue with iPhoto causing your Macbook to freeze, I would first try to isolate the issue by testing in a new user, as outlined in the following article:
Apple Support: Isolating an issue by using another user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
If the issue persists in the new user, you may want to follow up with the one application troubleshooting in this article:
Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199
If it appears instead that the issue is specific to your user files (i.e. issue does not persist in the new user), you may want to try rebuilding your iPhoto library (make sure you have a current backup first):

Cheers,

HELP! I shut down my macbook pro and now after applications have been in full screen mode for awhile they automatically minimize and it takes me back to the desktop. How do I fix this?

I shut down my macbook and now while applications such as safari have been open for awhile, even while active, will automatically minimize and it take me back to the desktop. How do I fix this?

I should add that this has happened before and I feel like it was a quick un-toggling of a box in my settings, but I can not remember what to do.

I shut down my macbook pro and now I started up and it started in the safe mode

I shut down my MacBook Pro yesterday and when I started up today, it keeps starting up in safe mode, what do I need to do?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Does your Mac start properly in safe mode? If so, try resetting the PRAM > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 This will reset the "boot args", so OS X should start into safe mode. Also, you should verify that the storage of the computer is OK, so open Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" on the sidebar and verify the drive. If there's a problem, start in OS X Recovery (holding Command and R keys while your Mac is starting) and repair it

How to properly shut down your Macbook?

Hello, I have been using a Macbook Pro for nearly a year now. I would like to know what is the proper way to shut down your macbook?
I went to iStudy for some app instalment and the sales asisstant gave me a piece of (advice?) that whenever I want to shut down my macbook, i should just snap it close after I have quit all the running applications. I don't have to press the shut down button on the keyboard or choose shut down at the apple upper menu bar cause it may damage my RAM.
Yet, I knew this girl who just paid 2K just to fix her motherboard due to improper way of shutting down her Mac.
So, my problem is do you have to shut your Mac down JUST by snapping it close (and of course, quit all the running applications)? Or you shut your Mac down by simply go to the Apple in the upper menu bar and choose shut down?

Hi alswaki,
When you close all apps and then physically close it, you are putting the Mac into Sleep mode, not shutting it down. So, it depends on what you actually want to do. When you go to the Apple menu and select Shut Down, it literally shuts off the Mac, and you have to push the on/off button to start it back up. By closing the lid, you are putting it into Sleep mode so when you open the lid again, the Mac doesn't have to be powered back on to start up again.
Both are correct things to do. I pretty much don't shut down my Mac at all. I close my apps, and close the lid, then plug it in to recharge. When I want to use it, I open it and it "wakes up". I only restart it when I need to for an update, I pretty much never shut it down.
But again, either way is fine to do. If you want to completely power down your Mac when you finish using it for the day, then you would select the Shut Down option. Otherwise, just close it to put it into Sleep mode when not in use.
Cheers,
GB

Keynotes '09
Version 5.1.1 (1034)

How exactly did you shut down your laptop? Not a hard restart (holding down the power button), I hope... if that's the case, then it is extremely unlikely the file is still intact on your computer. If it is, it would be an image on your RAM, and it is time-and-resource-intensive to recover it if it is even there. RAM memory is disposable and always being written over. Sorry dude...
If it wasn't a hard restart, Keynote should have made a backup, unless you 'Force Close'd it.
It really all depends on how your mac was shut down.

I am trying to shut down my MacBook Pro but mail is preventing it from shutting down and it will not allow me to quit mail

Does anyone know of a way to force quit Mail. It is preventing me from restarting or shutting down my MacBook Pro running Maverick iOS 10.9.
Thanks.

itsKeef,
You're having the same problem? Do you ALWAYS have to Force Quit Mail or will it sometimes just Quite when you select Quit? Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011"), which version of OS X are you running and which version of Mail do you have?

While editing photos iPhoto shut down. The unexpected shut down message appeared and I pressed re-open. When it reopened I had lost my most recent import as well as imports from the past 2 weeks. When I try to re-import it says that they already exist

After an import of about 20 black & white photos to iPhoto I was editing one when iPhoto shut down. The "unexpected shut down" message was displayed. I clicked reopen, which it did. However, my last import was completely missing. Not only that, everything I had imported, adjusted and filed for the past 2 weeks was also missing. It has still saved all of the albums I created but all show "no photos".
When I try to re-import from my back-up, iPhoto says "can't import, photo is already in the library".
Can anyone help?

What version of iPhoto?
Assuming 09 or later:
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

I can't shut down my MacBook Pro. I'm getting the following message: "The Finder can't quit because some operations are still in progress." How can I determine what is running?

I can't shut down my MacBook Pro. Each time I try, I get the following message: "The Finder can't quit because some operations are still in progress." How can I determine what is running?

Yea,
I bought an original CRT iMac two day's before they were launched, which got the reseller into trouble, and had it replaced by APPLE.
This was a great learning process for me dealing with the glitches. :-)
I LOVE MAC. Now own 4 and on my 10th. in 15 years + 7 bought for family.

IPhoto shut down / photos disappeared

After transferring 193 photos, while editing iPhoto shut down unexpectely deleting photos. Created Event disappeared! The camera was already erased as All photos were imported to the computer. Any chance of finding photos anywhere or the hard drive? I am Devasted! Does this issue occur often?

Probably the imported photos are still inside the iPhoto library, in the "Masters" folder.
Try to rebuild the iPhoto Library - how to is described in Old Toad's post here:
See: iPhoto unexpectedly shut down and my photos disappeared!
Where have you been importing from? Your camera? A card reader? An iPhone?
This problem has occasionally been reported after the iPhoto 9.4.3 update. It seems to happen, when the card in a camera has become corrupted and needs reformatting in the camera.
Once you have retrieved your photos - hopefully - reformat the card or use a differentcard.
I nevert use the option to delete the photos in the camera, at the same time that I am importing. I wait till the photos have been imported and checked and backed up, before I delete them from the card. Using the camera to delete photos is better for the filesystem on the card than letting the computer do it.

Iphoto shuts down whenever I try to export

I am currently using iPhoto 8.1.2 and OS X (Maverick) 10.9.4. I recently purchased an external HD as my memory was filling up rapidly. I was exporting photos from iPhoto and about 1,000 went through and then iPhoto shut down "unexpectedly". Now whenever I try to export any photo from iPhoto to any destination (external HD, desktop, a file, etc...) the export starts and then iPhoto shuts down. I have been doing the exports by highlighting an album in iPhoto, hitting file, then export, and when it asks where I select the destination. It's strange because it was working and then just stopped. I have re-booted, ejected the external HD, but the issue remains. Do I need to bite the bullet and just upgrade iPhoto or is there a fix?
Thanks for any and all assistance.

This is because iPhoto 09 is not fully compatible with 10.9.4 and there is no known fix at this time, except upgrading to iPhoto 11.
If space is an issue, why not just move the Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Iphoto shuts down when in Facebook folder

Yesterday I had trouble posting photos on Facebook from an Iphoto folder. Now, when I go into my Facebook folder in Iphoto with all my albums I have posted on Facebook, Iphoto shuts down completely. I have rebooted, checked for updates, and done repairs to the library data base. Any ideas of what I can do to fix this?

It's for my Mac Pro. I just went to an apple store and they're having me rebuild the library for now. Hope it works!

IPhoto shuts down when importing pix

When trying to transfer photos from a Sony DSC-W5, iPhoto shuts down before importing any pictures. I've tried restarting, and that doesn't seem to help. I've transferred photos from this camera before, so I don't know what the problem might be. Any thoughts? Thx.

Is the error you're getting in the permissions repair or disk verify/repair? If it's the latter then boot into your system install disk, and in the first window after the language selection go to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility. Then repair the disk and repeat until it reports no repairs were made. Then repair disk permissions again. Boot back into your PB.
I'd also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. This will definitely force set the access on your library folder and its contents to your complete access. That may help. It's helped others.
Yes. It's possible to reinstall 6.0. If you do, move the iPhoto_602.pkg from your HD/Library/Receipts folder to the desktop. Then delete any other receipt files with iPhoto in the name. That iPhoto_602.pkg file is the 6.0.2 updater if you want to update to that version. Also delete the current application and then run the installer.

Iphoto shuts down when opening help

Iphoto shuts down whenever I open help or after I download pictures from camera. It brings up a window which says "The application Iphoto quit unexpectedly. " Then it gives a choice to reopen, report or close.

reppan:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
