IPhoto stalls when I try to open a slideshow..can't even force quit

I began creating a slideshow in iphoto yesterday and during editing of a video clip within the slideshow, iphoto completely froze up & I let the color wheel spin for literally hours.  I did a force quit and now every time I open iphoto and click on my slideshow title to open it, iphoto goes into stall mode...can't do anything...can't even use the menu to force-quit.  Have to right click iphoto icon at bottom and force quit that way.  What can I do to either delete the slideshow and start over, or open it to begin with??  I can't even seem to delete it.  When I search for the slideshow by name, in finder, etc. it's non existent.  I had just begun so I'm not bummed if I lost it or it wasn't saved to begin with, but it's just annoying to have iphoto stall on me over and over.  Thanks for any ideas!  I'm a new mac user so it's all greek to me!

    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. .

    Iphoto freezes when I try to open it.

    Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

  • HT1229 Ive move photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?

    Hi Ive moved photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?
    Also I have many duplicate photos (from backups)  It would be great to be able to remove all duplicates at one time, like in Itunes.
    Can this be done?

    You moved what photos from where and to where?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • When I try to open some of my vi's, LabVIEW quits abruptly.

    When I try to open some of my vi's, LabVIEW quits abruptly. Has anyone seen this before? It doesn't happen with all my vi's . It could be related to updating Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 recently.

    What do your VIs have in
    common that crash?  They wouldn’t be
    calling external code by chance would they (i.e. a call library function
    node)?  LabVIEW loads DLLs (or shared
    objects in Linux) just as soon as the VI which calls it is loaded in memory
    (unless you’re using some new fancy features). 
    If some of these code modules don’t load right the application could be
    killed right away. 
    Have you seen this behavior before?  If not, I gather you might be on to something
    – the update to your OS could be to blame. 
    That distribution should work – was there anything else that you may
    have done during the switch?

    You really should run check for updates. It's up to 9.1.3 now.

  • When I try to open Firefox, MSN pops up even after I specified Firefox as my default browser. HELP!

    I downloaded a VIAO update, now can't open Firefox. When I try to open Firefox, MSN opens in HTML. I access my mail from I.E. I've also had problems with my facebook page. Ran virus scan and Malwarebytes. All my bookmarks and favorites are on Firefox.

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
    If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

  • I don't know what has happened but I can't open iPhoto. When I try to open it I receive a caution "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I solve this??!!

    I don't know what has happened but I now can't open iphoto. I get a caution when I try which says the iphoto library is locked! It was working perfectly fine this afternoon until I tried to upload some photos from my camera and my computer started to run very slow and wasn't recognising my camera. I tried to quit iphoto and then when I came back in to it, this was the message I received. As far as I am aware I didn't alter any settings or put on any locks. Please help!!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...

  • I download different documents and forms to my computer and then when I try to open them I can't. I installed 'Open It', but it is not among the choices given.

    I have so much trouble opening documents etc. I can't even open the folders in my Mozilla profile like my favorites. Its a JSON file. Why does Mozilla use files that I can't open?
    removed email address from public as per [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-rules-and-guidelines Forum rules and guidelines]

    ''' "Why does Mozilla use files that I can't open?" '''
    The bookmarks backup JSON files '''''are''''' human readable in a text program like Notepad or Wordpad. But those JSON files don't have any separate lines of numbers and text they're one long line. Those files are made to do their job in Firefox, not to be looked at by users.
    What type of problem do you have that prompted you to attempt to read a file like that?

  • Recently did an update, and a restart, now iphoto gives me this error message when I try to open it You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete' how can I 'repair' or replace missing files?? Thanks!!

    I have an imac with snow leopard and really wish there was a how to database in the computer for this !!! I still love this computer tho.  Thanks in advance for any help!!

    iphoto its pictures are still on your computer under the pictures folder.. it will be one file that says iphoto library. Its a separate file from the actual program.
    If you still have the disks that came with your unit they have the ilife applications on them. put the disk in your drive that says mac os x applications dvd. it will auto mount and there should be a folder called bundled software open this and there should be a .pkg file to reinstall the ilife suite which includes imovie iphoto iweb idvd and garageband .  After installing don't forget before runnig the program run software updates to download the any fixes
    if you r unit has disks labeled disk one and disk 2.. you need to boot off of disk one and choose install bundled software.
    I believe there is a KB article through apple.com/support

  • I bought and downloaded the latest snow leopard and lost most of my pictures and most of my i tunes music. The pictures show in iphoto but when i try to open them I get a big "!" and when my music shows in Itunes but when I try to play it, it wont open

    I need help... Since downloading the latest snow leopard, I cant open most of my pictures in iphoto or play most of my music in Itunes.

    Before you bought Snow Leopard, did you check that your machine met the specifications?   Have you enough memory, ideally you need 4GB though 2GB is okay,
    Have you also applied the various software update updates which include iTunes and security updates.
    Check in the Apple menu, about this Mac, and if your new disk shows as being 10.6.3 this is what to do.
    Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater.   Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
