IPhoto stopped working....what happened??

I have been using iPhoto very successfully for several years. All of a sudden my iPhoto is stuck showing "Loading photos" and the swirling icon. I had several hundred pictures on my machine. I am also unable to attach my camera to iPhoto or view my library? Any ideas on what happened. I think I have the 4 series. Did I miss an upgrade? Do I need to upgrade to a 5 thern a 6? Any feedback would be appreciated......

Timothy:
Also post your question in the iPhoto 4 forum as there may be others who have had that problem and know of a solution.
IMO, iLife 6 is a big improvement over 4 but you should get your issues fixed before trying to update if you feel you must. If it's doing everything you want it to do then stick with it and see what iLife 7 will have to offer.
Do you Twango?

    I already tried that but it doesn't work. Appears a warning saying: "See the developer to make sure that iPhoto works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install all available updates in the application and OS X."

  • Why my iphoto stop working kept downloading nothing happening

    why my iphoto stop working kept downloading nothing happening

    Because it's broken?
    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.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • HT4906 all that happened was that iPhoto stopped working on my mac.

    please help me iphoto stopped working on my mac and if i get it from the app store its £10

    So the application is present in the Applications folder  In that case you will have to reinstall iPhoto.
    To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,

    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updaters.

  • IPhoto stopped working after upgrading to 9.3

    I upgraded to iPhoto 9.3 and iPhoto stopped working.  So I dragged it to the trash and went to reinstall from the original iLife'11. The reinstall finished normally, but when I tried to open iPhoto it instructed me to run Software Update.  I did and Software Update informed me all of my software was up tp date.  Again I tried to start iPhoto with the same result - run Software Update. Anyone have a suggestion?

    download and install the 9.1 update

  • In the middle of my vacation and the sync of my photos stopped running, what happened?

    In the middle of my vacation and the sync of my photos stopped running, what happened?  I have looked for online answers and cannot find anything.

    For transfers to occur, you must be using wifi and the photo app must be shut down.  It may also take some time for photos to sync across, and many users claim thier photos don't sync via photo stream.  My impression is that photo stream is still beta, given the problems with it.

  • Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and Slideshow in iPhoto stopped working (stays on first slide; will not advance)

    Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and Slideshow in iPhoto stopped working (stays on first slide; will not advance)

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database followed by Option #1 to reapair permissions if #4 doesn't help.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If still not working log into another user account on your Mac and try a slideshow from there.  If it works there then the problem is limited to your account. If it fails there it's system wide and may require a reinstall of iPhoto or the system.

  • Iphoto stopped working. I reinstalled and updated. I still can't open it.

    iphoto stopped working. I couldn't open it. I checked that photos were backed up. Trashed iphoto. Installed iphoto 11 and installed update. I still can't open it. I get no error messages. The wheel just keeps spinning.

    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. .

  • My iphoto stop working

    My iphoto stop working. And it gave me this meesenger Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup. I already shut down and restart the computer and still the same.

    And the rest?
