IPhoto troubles

I put in the latest iPhoto update and now the program will not open.  Just hangs there updating thumbnails and I cannot close what has started.  The only way I see is turning off the iMac and this doesn't seem correct.  Please help.

Let's guess as we have no actual information to work with:
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. 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: trouble with sending photos via gmail.

    For some reasons, for about one or two months ago start having troubles with sending photos from iPhoto via gmail.
    It used to work perfectly, but now refuses to send photos. Pop up message says that there are some trouble with accessing accounts.
    Once I restart my computer it works well again.

    Hello ilya,
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
    Mail: Can't send messages, "Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxxxx.com" alert appears...

  • Iphoto troubles, moving, editing, sorting, everything..

    Hi everyone, I just spent 4 hrs reading through most of the articles in here to find a solution. I am pretty convinced that I am the first one in here with this problem, unless I missed out a few post. I apologize if you have answered this problem before and you would be repeating yourself. I would like to thank everyone who will be answering or even reading my post.
    Like a lot of them, I am new to MAC. But with the help of a good friend of mine, I am pretty savvy with this machine, however, iphoto is this naughty little fella that I just cant crack.

    I have in "advance", unchecked "copy files to library" so when I import photos from my folders, it will only create a link in iphoto library, so it will not take up extra space on my hdd. Is this a good move? There is a good explanation why I choose not to keep the files inside iphoto library, because when I do keep them inside iphoto library and edit the folders or the file name, these photos will be missing from iphoto because their file names have been changed (unlike itunes where you can change the location and rename it a million times, itunes will still know where it is). And even if I do not mind this, when I do import the files which I have renamed back to iphoto, it says "cannot import into library because the folder is already in iphoto library folder". Because of this, I have to relocate the folder from "original" to some other location and then import it into iphoto library. its so troublesome but I have since adopted this trouble as a routine. Question: how do I rename the photos without having to have to import them into iphoto again and without having to move them to another location? the videos too, because I use iphoto to sort my videos as well and I tend to rename my videos too.

    I have been using iweb to update my photos on my server for months. One of the "photo" template has a fix frame where all I need to do is to drag photos from "media" into the frame and it will do the rest of the sizing for me. It has worked fine for me but just now when I wanted to add more pictures, I couldnt. Everytime I drag a photo from "media" it will just add on the page as the name of the photo like "dscn1000" as font instead of the photo. I tried dragging other photos and I notice only certain ones work and most of them doesnt work. I tried looking into iphoto to see if its because of the source file and I still cant figure it out. And while I was at that, I found out another very mysterious thing, see my next question.
    C>>
    Like I mentioned above, I have unchecked "copy files to library when importing" in iphoto's preferences. Hence, there are only links of the photos in iphoto library folder. If I am not wrong, every folder that I import into library, there will be a folder with the same name created in "original" and all the photos will have a little arrow stating that this is linked from another location. But when I was checking for my problem above (Problem B), I notice that out of the 10 albums I have imported into iphoto, only 6 of them have folders created in iphoto library "orignal" folder. The rest are not there and yet I see them in my iphoto.
    Gosh, I really hope you guys understand what I am saying in here coz its not easy trying to put in words these problems. If you do not understand me, pls ask me questions so I can explain it further. Any help is appreciated.

    Listen to TD - he's usually right.
    I'll add my 2¢, since you asked for opinions.
    First, you can't crack iPhoto because you're fighting against the way it is designed to work. iPhoto is a stubborn fella, you need to play by his rules or he throws tantrums.
    A>>
    My advice to you is to check that option and let iPhoto keep the files in its library. Why? Because when you don't it is very easy to break the link between the files and the database. If you move or rename files iPhoto won't be able to find them, regardless of whether the files are in the iPhoto library. At least with them in the library, they are accessible (provided you play by the rules) and organized. In addition, this makes it possible and easy to move or back up your entire library simply by moving or copying the iPhoto library folder. The alias mode complicates things - keep it simple, see how it's intended to work, and consider the alias mode as an option for expert iPhoto users (like Old Toad).
    As TD said, if disc space is an issue simply keep the whole iPhoto library on an external drive. Once you put it there and point iPhoto to it, it functions exactly the same as on the boot drive as long as the external is mounted.
    Question: how do I rename the photos without having to have to import them into iphoto again and without having to move them to another location?>>>
    Answer: You can't. Once a file is in iPhoto it stays there with the name it had upon import. Using Finder to rename files will break the link to the iPhoto database. Continue to do this your way and you may even see your entire database file become corrupt. In that case your photos would be safe but you would have to start over with a new library. (I suggest you do that now.)
    TIP: Many users prefer to import from the camera via Image Capture. Create a folder anywhere NOT in the iPhoto library and upload to the hard drive. Then rename your files in Finder to your heart's content. Once you are happy with the file names, import that folder into iPhoto and you will get a Film Roll named after that folder containing your photos with their new file names. You can then either keep the original folder for backup purposes or trash it -- IF you let iPhoto store your photos in its library.
    Check out this post by lori_diloreto: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=827283&tstart=0
    In it she explains her method of uploading from the camera to Image Browser, then importing into iPhoto. She has a very organized way of storing files for backup until she has enough to burn a DVD.
    B>>
    I don't use iWeb, so can't answer specifically what is happening. I do suspect that the reasons most of your photos don't work is because your system for using iPhoto just dosen't work. It just doesn't do well with all the renaming, moving, in Finder, then reimporting to try to repair the damage. Clearly some of the damage hasn't been repaired.
    C>>
    This observation, combined with the way you describe your workflow in section A, suggests to me that you haven't re-established the links to some of your rolls. Let's say I rename a roll in Finder, and lose its link to iPhoto. I can't just reimport the roll. After moving it out of iPhoto I have to delete the broken images in the iPhoto window from within the application. When iPhoto has forgotten about them entirely, I can then import them back into iPhoto. Skip this step, and your second attempt to import the same files will fail.
    iPhoto is a database application, not a file browser. Some people just want a file browser, and you may be one of them. But if you enjoy iPhoto's other capabilities, then why not give it a try the easy way? I suggest you begin with a fresh iPhoto library. Find your originals, import them in with the copy to library choice ON, and organize from within the application. TD has given you the ways to locate your photos once they are stored in the library. Look at this screen shot of how an iPhoto library is meant to be organized: http://homepage.mac.com/loridilo/.Public/iPhoto6.jpg [Again thanks to lori!] The application will work much more smoothly when you work with it and not against it.
    If you have any questions specifically for me, I'll be happy to answer. Otherwise, I've used up my 2¢ worth.

  • I renamed my picture folders and now am having iPhoto trouble

    I renamed my file folders for my photos so I could recognize them easier and now I'm having trouble with iPhoto. When I double click on the thumbnail I get a "!". Is there a way to fix this?

    shandymae:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You've committed the cardinal sin of iPhoto: Don't mess with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder
    Unless you can rename those folder back to what they were you'll have to start with a fresh library and import the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto trouble on Macbook Pro. Please help!

    I have reached max capacity on memory on my macbook. Bought an external hard drive to back up all of my pictures and to clear up room on my computer. I did this two days ago. Since then, I have not been able to open iPhoto. When I do, I get this message :
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable. 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."
    Please help!!!! I have restarted my computer and that doesn't work. I am scared to rebuild bc I don't want to lose all of my pictures. They are from the first 2 years of my daughter's life. and to make matters worse, they are not showing up on my external hard drive either!! Please please help!!!!!!!

    First don't confuse memory with hard drive space. You ran out of hard drive space.
    Secondly you can post iPhoto issues in the iPhoto forums. Make sense?

  • Iphoto trouble with Leopard and RAW pictures

    After installation of Leopard, iphoto 08 is unable to open RAW photographies in editing mode.
    Can you help me ?
    Thanks
    Régis

    Régis:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How did you perform the Leopard upgrade? Did you do an Archive and Install without selecting the option to retain the user and internet settings? And are you using Photoshop for the RAW editing? Check in your HD/Library folder for a folder titled ScriptingAdditions. It gets removed when when you do a A&I without those options being selected. Can you open Photoshop and use it outside of iPhoto? If so then forget what I just wrote as it is not a possible reason.

  • IPhoto Trouble - Importing - iLife 08

    First I apologize in advance if this question has been answered previously, but I recently update to ilife08 and iPhoto wasn't my main source for organizing my pictures. But I think it's great and I "want" to use it but I'm running into a few issues.
    For example, recently I thought that the best way to solve one of my problems was to buy an external drive where all my photos would be kept. I have over 10000 photos. My macbook is only 60 gigs. So last night I imported them all into iphoto without making copies of them. This morning I saw that they are all out wack. I expected the import to be seemlessly. I have all my photos organized by "events" (ie birthdays, get to gethers, holidays, family, etc.) so I expected the "events" to be organized this way. Instead I feel like none of my folder names transferred over.
    In the past when I uploaded to Iphoto 6, at least the "folder names" were in the library as "rolls" I just want to understand how iPhoto works and how I can use it so that my pictures are organized great. I just feel stuck and that I can't even get into first gear. Can anyone share some light?
    Further more... now I want to do it all over again. So how do I erase what I did and start all over. do I have to uninstall iLife and reinstall it? I'm new to the "mac" world so I'm still trying to figure out how the OS X works.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    It's pretty easy to do over again. Just go to the picture folder under your Home and drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop. Next time you launch iPhoto it will create a new library with nothing in it. Then you can re-import the old library from the external hard drive.
    My understanding is that the events function works solely off the date created of each photo. It doesn't consider any previous organization that you may have done.
    You basically have to go thru and rename each event. It's easy but can be time consuming.

  • Iphoto trouble and library trouble.....plez plez help

    Ok here goes I have all my photos stored on an external harddrive. The other day while i was viewing my pictures my external got unplugged and all the pictures suddely turned grey. They continued to do this even when i restarted iphoto and plugged my harddrive back in. Then i decided to import all the pictured again from my external harddrive and somehow it added them all to my labtop making the program slow. So i then just went into iphoto and hit select all and then clicked delete. The photos are still safe on the external. My question is is that i'm trying to make a new library because when the program can't find an iphoto library it asks me to locate it which i want it to do. Its like there is a "hidden" library on my labtop that i can't find. PLez help this is driving me crazy. If you don't understand i'll clarify......

    Great! I'm glad the worst didn't happen. One thing you can do to check your library is to move the size slider all the way to the right, then click the down arrow to scroll through your photos. Chances are that if you can see your photos at their largest size, then the database is fine. You can also do some spot checking - double click on some photos to see if they open in edit mode. If so, then iPhoto has not lost the links to your photos.
    If you start noticing strange behavior you can do the auto database rebuild. Launch iPhoto while holding Option and Command. Check the first 3 options in the dialog box, then click Rebuild. It can take a while if you have a lot of photos. For more information on the rebuild, read this Apple article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107947

  • IPhoto trouble after Leopard upgrade

    Just upgraded to Leopard and iPhoto would not launch after the upgrade.
    Tried to reinstall iPhoto by upgrading to iLife 08 and installation was successful, but when I launch I get a message saying I need to upgrade my photo library and I click OK.
    Then I get this message "Photo library is damaged and cannot be upgraded." Then am required to "Quit."
    Help is greatly appreciated.

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    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 back.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • New mac user - iphoto trouble - original doc not found

    hey all,
    i just got my first macbook a few days ago. things are going pretty good except for an iphoto error.
    when i try to import my library i get an error to the effect of "can not upload original doc not found"....it wants me to find the picture, which i can, and click it, which then will import it....this works but i would have to do this 2,000 times to import my whole library
    i should note i do not want to copy the photos in iphoto....i just want it to point to my originals...
    also i did succesfully upload them all once....but then i wiped them out....so this is my second time...it worked the first time....
    ???????

    When you run a referenced library iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. It will create an alias to the Original file, a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version.
    What's happened here is that the alias has lost contact with it's Linked File. Have you made any changes to the path the that file? Renamed or moved a folder?
    Frankly, unless you are using wo different photo managers, I strongly recommend against running a referenced library - even more so for an inexperienced Mac user.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity 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.
    If you're concerned about finding the files: There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of the pitfalls.
    Regards

  • Using Panorama Maker 4 with iPhoto troubles...

    I searched and could not find anything so i decided to post. I wanted to mess around with Panorama Maker so i took a couple pics of my room and imported them into my iPhoto. After i did so, i opened up Panorama Maker and i couldn't find any of the photos i imported. I couldn't even find the iPhoto library. For some reason it's hidden or something.
    I guess I have a few questions, how do I create a folder of my imported pictures separate from my iPhoto library so I can open them in Panorama? And how, if there's any way, can I view the iPhoto folder in Panorama? Or if there's something else i should be doing please let me know!?

    Hi, ProjektDM. Your iPhoto Library's contents are intentionally made inaccessible to other applications, to prevent you from corrupting the library database by tinkering with the pictures in it. So if you want to assemble pictures into a panorama outside of iPhoto, you'll need to do either of two things: a) don't import them into iPhoto before doing so, or b) after importing them into iPhoto, export copies of them to the desktop or a folder on the desktop, and work on the copies. After your panorama is finished, you can import that into iPhoto if you like.
    With most cameras (not including most Canon cameras), you can easily copy pictures from your camera or memory card onto your computer without importing them into iPhoto or any other application. If iPhoto opens automatically whenever you connect the camera or card reader to your Mac, simply quit iPhoto before importing the pictures. Then drag-copy the pictures from the card to a new folder on your desktop. The Import... command in iPhoto's File menu can be used to import the pictures into iPhoto later.
    To export pictures from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop, simply drag the image thumbnails from the iPhoto window to the folder (of course you'll have to leave enough of the desktop exposed so you can see the folder). Or, select the pictures you want to export and use the Export... command in iPhoto's File menu.

  • Help! iPhoto troubles - non responsive/potential loss of photos

    Hi, my iPhoto crashed a few months ago and after an automatic repair option, it's no longer working properly. Amongst the problems that I have been experiencing include:
    - preview icons for each event or album do not display properly (i.e. the same photo shows up);
    -  it's extremely slow and non responsive, and usually leads to me having to force the programme to quit without achieving any thing with my photos.
    If I reinstall iPhoto, how can I ensure that my photos are now accidentally erased forever? I have not backed up most of the photos I am afraid.
    Any tips would be extremely welcome!

    Give the following a go: apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhone 4 and iPhoto trouble

    After coming back from vaca with about 600 images taken on my iPhone 4, the download to iPhoto gagged after about 443 images.  I have subsequently been able to download more of them, but it is really odd. I have a lot of duplicate images even though I selected do not import dupes each time. And then - there are about 65 images in the camera roll on the phone that I can't get to erase.
    And now, I have made some albums and when I try to sync them back to the phone, I get a message about some of the images not being able to be displayed on the phone so they won't sync. Whole albums are not syncing. I have updated the phone software to latest version.  Running 8.1.2 iPhoto. Please help - is it an iPhoto problem or iPhone? Thanks.

    Found a resolution to the sync problem here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1306

  • IPhoto trouble. folder

    Ok see when i drag pictures into iPhoto and then they import in there I sometimes want to send, or use those photo's for other uses. Now when i want to do this its easiest if i can find where that picture is in my comp and then drag it to that app or copy it or what ever. But with iPhoto the folder named iPhoto in my pictures folder is liek a maze. I have to click on a bunch of folders before it takes me to SOME pictures, i don't even know which one I'm going to find. So please if anyone knows how to make it so that when i click on the iPhoto folder that all my pictures would be in one folder inside of there that would be most helpful. Now what i have to do is export the picture onto my desktop to use them the way I want. Thanks

    Hi Razvan,
    That is how iPhoto is supposed to work. You do everything within iPhoto.
    First check out these two links...
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    I also want to show you how iPhoto organizes your images in the Finder.
    This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
    It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.
    So, if you want to use images in the library in other applications or to upload to a web site, it is best to share/export them, use drag and drop from the iPhoto Library window, or just drag from the library window to the desktop.
    To email an image or images, open iPhoto, choose the images and click the email icon. First make sure your email client has been chosen in IPhoto's Preferences.
    If you want to edit an image in an external editor like Photoshop, you also set that up in iPhoto's Preferences. Now when you double click an image it will open in the editor you chose. You can edit the image and save it as the same file name (if you made layers it has to be flattened before you can save it), and the edits will reflect in the image in the library.

    I'm aware of all of that and was not complaining. I realize that it can take awhile to get a question answered. I was just answering your question.
    I was not aware that posting the same question on multiple boards is discouraged. I've done it before and usually have better luck that way. I'm just getting really frustrated. I have been having little problems like this, on and off, with my mac, and have only owned it since August. I bought the Apple Care Protection Plan, yet since i started having these continuing issues with my iPhoto, my macbook freezing (more so than normal etc-) have never been able to get through to a human being. The Apple store in my town rarely has a technician available to look at problems, so therefore, mine just keep pilling up. Quite frustrating since I am a college student relying on this computer.
    I don't mean to vent, just letting you know where I'm at right now.
