Iphoto takes forever to download camera

Hello, to all.
I never had to wait any more than a few seconds for Iphoto to download my camera and start showing each picture...now, from one day to another, it just keeps the sign of "downloading camera" and the spinning wheel going for ever. Actually, don't know for how long since after half an hour I got tired and ejected the camera.
I am running Ilife5, Iphoto v5.0.4 and the same camera Fujifilm E550
I thought that maybe some plists are doing this..I have far too many but not confident on which ones I can delete.
Please, give an idea of what can I do to correct Iphoto.
Thank you soooo,much!

Try using image capture to download the photos to a desktop folder and import from there - then use your camera to reformat your media card

Ever since I updated my ipad2 and iphone5 to ios8, both devices are running slow, apps take forever to download (Google is STILL downloading on both), and they freeze/crash. This is VERY frustrating! Anyone else having the same problems?

Had same problem on my iPad2 with the original 8.0 release. I ended up wiping it completely clean and doing a reset and restore from backup. That seemed to fix my issues. I had the same problem when 7 came out and did the same wipe and restore to get everything working well.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

Videos and pictures received on WhatsApp take forever to download on Iphone5s

Videos and pictures received on WhatsApp take forever to download on Iphone5s

This happens to me once in a while when I download video's to my Dell. Sometimes a TV show downloads in a minute or two. Sometimes it can take as much as forty minutes. For me it mostly tends to do this when I install a new version of iTunes (it happened when I installed the latest version of iTunes). However, it never took 2.5 hours.
Does it always happen whenever you download a video or just that one time??? It might have been just a one time thing.

All CBS, Youtube & Xinmsn videos fail to play on Firefox 4.0 all day long. Once 12 am (Singapore Time), ALL videos start to play Perfectly. Even Headline News takes forever to download until midnight, such problem suddenly disappears. WHY?

'''My Fujitsu laptop is one-month old. Initially I use IE8 and had problem watching videos. Once, an Action Message appeared advising me my API Driver is not working and directed me to HP instead. Fujitsu advised me it's a malware and a scan of Malicious Software Removal Tool was executed, nothing was detected. Ive had Norton Internet Security on my laptop. I switched to Firefox 4.0. All videos - CBS, Youtube and Xinmsn videos fail to play during the day, between 1 pm till night (11 pm). The only time every of these videos start playing Perfectly is around Midnight 12 am. (Singapore Time). This happens every day and night. How is it that during the day and night, every site including Headline News takes forever to download (transferring data takes unusually long time) but around midnight, such problem instantly disappears (and I can download sites very fast)? Also, ALL videos malfunction all day long till night but miraculously return to perfect function around midnight. This is real weird. Can some kind soul help me with this please? ''"

i would suggest you backup and reformat the windows.
Previously i also encounter similar error you encountered found out is malware attack, some of the antivirus are not even able to detect them. There are alot of users posted online which you can google around.
i had tried remove the malware using those so-called malware removal but things gets worst. So finally i reformat the Windows and everything go back to normal.
Personal advice, don't click or install those unknown message prompted from website. No antivirus or malware protection software can prevent this if you are letting then to get in your system.
Cheers and hope i did help you in resolving your error.

Once rental in iTunes, ATV takes forever to download/play

I download movie rentals or tv shows in iTunes on my computer, but Apple TV takes FOREVER to download from the shared computer! I can't watch a movie in one go-- it pauses to download and takes forever. How do I avoid this? It never used to happen! Since I can download the movies in normal time frames, the internet speed is not the issue.

I have two iPhone 4 at home, slow slow downloads. One of them I've tested WiFi at work, Same issue. e.g. Apps take forever to download over WiFi compared to a AT&T-3G connection.

I have only just got an iphone 4 which I immediately updated to ios7 so have nothing to compare it with. But it doesn't even see networks that come up clear on the macbook. Same thing for a colleague in the same spot. previously I had an android phone which picked up just fine.

I have purchased Trainz Simulator, but it takes forever to download.

Recently, I purchased Trainz Simulator, a train simulation game from the App Store. It's taken forever to download and I've become impatient with the game and I've canceled the download and would like a refund. I would understand if the game was big in file size, but really it shouldn't take days to download one game with a cable modem for an internet connection. I would like a refund for my purchase sent to my debit card that I used to make the purchase.

Hi....
Just so you are aware, you can not communicating directly with Apple here so they will not respond to your post.
This is a user to user forum where Mac and Windows users help one another.
Very important to read the terms and conditions before making purchases from the App Store. Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" here TUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Why does it take forever to download a clip from youtube or a movie its impossible to watch

When I try to download from youtube my mac takes forever only allowing a few min viewing at a time, same with movies and music clips

Download 10.6.8 update
run a speed test
http://www.apple.com/support/networking
change your DNS to OpenDNS or something else
Maybe your ISP throttles
If you use DSL and have DSL filters on phones, those things can fail and affect bandwidth and need to be replaced ($5-8)
then again, not knowng wired / wireless or Lion vs SL
Did it just start? why? what changed?

IPad take FOREVER to charge and Apps take FOREVER to download. Am I the only one having this problem?

I bought my iPad I'd say about a year ago and this problem has been happening the moment I bought it. I can have the iPad charging all night long and still it doesn't fully charge. I took it to the Apple store a little over a month after I bought it and they ran some tests on it and said everything was fine that maybe it was just the iPad charger so he gave me a new iPad charger but that didn't help whatsoever.
The other problem I'm having is that when I download Apps on my iPad they seem to take years to download. This can't be my wifi as I have other Mac products and an iPhone that downloads App just fine within seconds.
Is all of this an iPad issue other people are having? Or am I the only one cursed?

You need to reopen that case file for your initial problem and get that resolved. That's the first thing.
The second thing (the download times) can easily be checked out while you are at the Apple Store (as a test you do yourself). Find a couple of large apps (like maybe approaching 1 GB) in which you don't have any personal data in them, and delete them from your iPad. Then redownload them and see how long it takes at the Apple Store.
If it's quick and normal at the Apple Store, then you've got so,e problem with the iPad working right with your home WiFi, and you'll have to sort that out. If it's just as slow at the Apple Store, then you can open up case file on that issue while you are still in the Apple Store.

IPhoto takes FOREVER to open/close and slooooows system down

PLEASE HELP ME! I love my Mac, and used to love iPhoto - but now it takes several MINUTES (over 5 at times) to open, slows my whole system down to pre-286, and can take over 10 minutes to close freezing the system. My only 'get around' has been to delete the /user/library/preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist EVERY SINGLE TIME i open iPhoto and to FORCE QUIT every time i quit. I use photos EVERY DAY and NEED iPhoto to work again.
WHAT DO I DO??? Can i Download and reinstall?
I've read other posts on the topic and don't find any help.
I have 1GB of memory, and I do have near 15,000 images, but that shouldn't be the problem. I need to be able to keep adding more images.
Is there another program for Mac for archiving photos so you can browse, and I'll just use iPhoto for current projects, but that would STICK...
Please help me, I NEED iPhoto to work smoothly again, it is too much what i need every day, and was the #1 reason I switched to Mac a year ago, and now it is ruining my day every day. HELP!

Eddie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto has been advertiesd with up to 25,000 photos. Yes you can have multiple libraries. iPhoto Buddy and iPhoto Library Manager are applications that let the user move between multiple libraries with relative ease and speed. iPhoto Library Manager (the paid version) also has the capability of moving photos between libraries while maintaining keywords, album and roll information.
How much free space do you have on your HD?
First try running Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. Then, if necessary, make a duplicate of your current iPhoto Library folder (select it and type Command-D) and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. If the rebuild goes as intended you can trash the duplicate.
Once you get the library back up and running satisfactorily you can subdivide it into sub libraries by making a duplicate of the good library and then open it with iPhoto. Now delete all the photos except those you want in that library. Now make another duplicate and repeat the previous steps. Repeat until you have the sub-libraries that you want and then you can delete the full one.
