IPhoto ver 8.1.2 will not load today. Last thing I did was download photos from my phone

Several days ago I plugged in my phone to get 200 some odd photos off of it into iphoto (I have an android phone). I was able to get the photos off the phone and edit them etc.  However, today, when I go to load iPhoto I just get the rainbow circle (loading) that goes onnnn and onnnn with a blank screen.  It wont load.  The phone is long unplugged, there are no devices attached to try to be loading photos up.  It just wont boot.  Any suggestions??
iPhoto Version is 8.1.2
OS version is 10.6.8

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. .

    What version of iPhoto?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

  • Firefox will not load to the web, even after 2nd download.

    I have used firefox as a web browser because our school page works best with it. I have used firefox for over three months. This weekend firefox will not load. The screen message says unable to load web page, try again button is displayed, all to no avail.

    I have XP Pro. I tried installing 3.6.15 and could not open it. I did a system restore and 3.6.14 would no longer open. I tried again installing 3.6.15 and got a message that the previous version had not uninstalled properly. Tried uninstalling.
    As a precaution I used MozBackup to save my bookmarks etc. and also saved a system restore point.
    I then clicked Start, My Computer, drive C, Program Files and deleted the Firefox folder.
    I installed 3.6.15 and it is now working fine with all my bookmarks and addons loaded automatically.

  • .dmg and. zip webpages will not load through all browsers so I cannot download from sites

    hi all,
    i have had this problem since i bought my Mac Book. When trying to load a .zip or a .dmg webpage, it will start loading the page and than stop. Without dispaying nothing only a white page. I wont show me any errors or nothing, just stop loading,
    I have upgraded to snow leopard maybe it will stop doing this but useless. I tried using Safari, Google Chrome and Mozilla and still the same.
    Please help
    Thanks folks

    thanks for the quick reply
    i tried everything you told me but its still not working. When i try and download its redirecting me as every download page should do, so that ok. But when the .dmg and .zip page will start loading it will stay blank and stop loading on.
    I checked the download folder and even the preferences and nothing is showing up. I think its more of a permission problem than from the browser since all browsers are doing this.
    I had Norton 2010 installed and was removed maybe it was the source of the problem but still.
    More help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • A favorite web site will not load in 4.01, but did in earlier version. Says "This website does not supply ownership information. Connection Not Encrypted." What can I do to use this important website?

    I just this morning updated to the latest Firefox version, and then find that this much used site will not open. It gives the two messages I list above. The site is www.30god.com.
    I cannot figure out what setting to change to get the site to work.
    I much need some counsel.
    Thanks.
    James Muller

    I appreciate this option, to go back to an earlier version, but I really want to use the latest FF, so the counsel from cor-rel, about dealing with cache and cookies, is the solution I pursued. And it worked!
    But thanks for responding to me. It's great to know that such support is out there.

  • Iphone 4S writing emails : Have to hold 'write' icon and then 'draft' page opens. Will not open 'New message' page and therefore cannot write emails from my 'phone. Anybody any ideas???

    Hello there
    Have been given a 4s.
    All set up and working - except.......
    when I try to write an email [via wifi], tapping the 'write' icon does not work and I have to hold it. Then the 'DRAFT' page appears, not 'NEW MESSAGE'.
    So cannot write emails from my 'phone.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • HT2498 I can move photos from the P80 camera to iPhoto in the MacBook, but do not know how to do the reverse, move selected photos from iPhoto to the SD card on the camera.

    How do I move photos from iPhoto back to the SD card on my camera? I can move them from the camera to the computer easily. How do I do the reverse?

    Select the photos in IPhoto and export to a desktop folder, mount the SD card and drag the folder to it

  • Updated Adobe Flashplayer & Firefox (ver 6.0.1) will not load any web pages although other browsers work fine.

    Tried restarting computer & starting Firefox in safe mode, neither has worked.

    Thanks, but tried all that before I posted, Settings were not changed. Has to have something to do with the update to the Adobe Flashplayer. I was using it to download the Flashplayer and as soon as I did, that was it!

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Any difference? If not...
    2. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    3. If needed, remove your live.com cookies in this dialog (save any work-in-progress first)
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Falsh plugin will not load. Works in IE, did not work in 4 and just upgrade to 5 - still no worky

    I select it from plugin drop down that appears, reboot - nothing. Exit FF reload - nothing
    Load Flash manually with FF closed, launch FF - nothing
    Upgraded from 4 to 5 tried all above again - nothing

    If you see the Flash plugin in the Macromed\Flash folder and Firefox doesn't see the plugin then you probably miss the registry keys that Firefox need to find the plugin.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin_scanning
    You can try to run the Flash installer for Firefox as Administrator and if that still doesn't work then create a plugins folder in the Firefox program folder and copy the NPSWF32.DLL file to that folder.

  • My photos will not load on the iPhone. Both directly accessing 'Photos' and from 'Camera roll' results in applications shutting down by itself and returning to home screen

    Help please

    Ighnot, are you jailbroken? Cause I am and I have the same problem except worse. I can't save a single pic, every single time I get the thumbnail grey box with jpg in it and the actual pic is black. Only way I get pic is by zooming in then taking screenshot and I still get the stupid safari toolbox and address bar in the pic

  • Iphone 4 will not allow me to update any apps or download anything from either the app store or itunes.

    I get a message telling me "Cannot connect to itunes store". It worked fine until last night. I've tried deleting all settings, and no change.
    I downloaded a couple of apps on Tuesday with no issues, but then on Wednesday evening the error occured.
    I have recently changed the email address that acts as my apple ID, but that was at the weekend and I had no issues until Wednesday.
    I can however download podcasts through the podcast app.
    Anyone have any suggestions? fixes?

    Yes, I had thought about the general reset thing, what implications will that have on data/email accounts etc ?
    Reset All Settings won't hurt any of your data, just erase preferences.
    From the iPhone User Guide: Reset all settings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    When you setup the iPhone as a new device, it's like you just pulled the iPhone out of the box. All apps will have to be installed again and you'll have to recreate the data, unless the app pulls it from somewhere on the web.

  • My computer shut down as I was downloading photos from my Iphone.  My Iphoto now says "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"  I see the photos still in my computer but how do I get them back in Iphoto?

    Iphoto shut down in the middle of download

    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.
    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.

  • Hi, i have a new toshiba laptop with windows 7 home edition K and first thing i did was download firefox but it does not open... thank you!

    Laptop is L630 and i bought it in Korea, language base is korean/english. I downloaded firefox first but it was US-english, so i uninstalled it and re-installed the uk-english version. Before that I set a persona on firefox 9the only add-on i was in time to set)
    When i click on the icons it does not launch...
    I tried several tiime to relaunch the PC but so far no change...

    I can't think of any way to make the Navigation Toolbar appear/disappear based on which direction you move your mouse.
    Well, there is full screen view, where the whole toolbar area including the tab bar slides up off the screen, and reappears if you slide the mouse pointer all the way to the top. (You can use the F11 key to turn full screen view on and off.)
    Is it possible this is an option of one of your extensions?
