Iphoto wants to connect to something every time i open?

hello my ilife 09 is asking to connect to something every time it is opened. it says something like i photo wants to connect to google.com tcp port 443 and it also sometimes says it wants to connect to apple.com for something similar?

As NU Apple says, the Google connection is for Maps in the Places feature.
It checks with Apple for available updates.

IPhoto wants to update the library EVERY time it is launched

Upgraded to iPhoto 11 this morning. Now, every time I open iPhoto, it wants to update the library.
So, there is a 20+ minute delay between opening iPhoto and being able to actually use it.
Argh.

I've given up on iLife 11 and am reverting to iLife 09.
I have to re-import all my photos to iLife 09, because iPhoto 11 bloated my library (from ~500Gb to over a TB) to much that Time Machine dumped the old backups.
You see, when iPhoto "rebuilds" the library, Time Machine feels compelled to back up the entire thing every time.
So all my old backups were lost.
I'm so pleased with the new iLife, I could vomit blood.

My iphoto crashes within a few seconds every time I open it. Can you help?

Hi
A standard approach to this sort of problem is to delete all cache files and reboot. If that doesn't work, try dragging the iPhoto preferences to a different folder (also known as "trashing" the preferences)

There is a bug in firefox that wants me to install programs every time I open firefox. How do I get it cleaned off. AVG Security did not find it.

Every time I start firefox there is another page in the backround that starts up and wants me to install software. I have updated to the newest firefox and latest AVG security software and scanned my whole computer and this bug is hid some where. I have scanned with firefox up and running and with it not running and did not find it. How can I get rid of it?
Running windows vista service pack 2 64 bit .

What software does it want you to load? '''Mozilla.org''' installer programs
only install Firefox, nothing else. If you did not get the program from
'''Mozilla.org''', it may be an altered program from someone else. 
That may be an update message from a program you already have. Please
send a screen shot if you can.
=====================================================
Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated, 
'''''DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS'''''. 
While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be '''''Malware or a Virus'''''.
Any time you want or need to check for upgrades,
go to the web site of the '''''True Owner''''' of the program in question.
For example, to check out Firefox, go to '''''[https://www.mozilla.org Mozilla.org]'''''.
=====================================================

The firefox wants to download a file every time i open it, even by opening a new tab, it wants to download the file,

To whom it may concern
i installed firefox on my mac, and wanted to download a file, after downloading again firefox after opening asks me if i want to download that file or not.
i checked this link :
http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
there it says finding these plugins and reset them , but in my config those files are not in the list, also it says try to delete mimetypes.rdf , i deleted that file but again the problem exists. please help me.

Easiest on Mac OS X 10.7 is to use this button:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
In Mac OS X v10.7, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
Open Finder and use one of these:
* Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
* Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
You can also use this command in a Terminal window to remove the hidden flag.
* Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Terminal
* chflags nohidden ~/Library

My iPhoto shows the loading cycle forever every time i open it.. Why?

Everytime i open my iPhoto icon.. it shows the loading cycle forever.... and wont go away and open up normal? how can i restart it? or fix my problem

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. .

Setup assistant running every time I open iTunes

Hi,
I'm having a really annoying problem with iTunes - ever since I installed the latest version, the setup assistant pops up EVERY time I open iTunes. I finally let it run all the way through one day in hopes that would put a stop to it, but to no avail. It actually duplicated many things in my library and made random changes here and there to album artwork and song/artist/album names (that I didn't want changed and had to spend a LOT of time correcting). Once I click cancel, it takes me into iTunes as normal but I don't want the assistant coming up every time I open the program. I haven't been able to find any help topics on this issue. I've tried re-installing, it didn't help. Assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Lori

Hi, I have the exact same problem since my first crash with 9.0 I'm hesitant to go through the set up where it asks me to either let iTunes search my home folder for mp3/ACC or I can chose to do it myself later. Can one of these options delete my current library? When I cancel the set up at this point, iTunes opens up normally with everything intact. I'm scared to screw it all up if I chose one of these options. Any advice?

Same message every time I open iPhoto - "use iPhoto when you connect..."

Every time I open iPhoto 6 (using a MacBook Pro) I am asked: "Do you want to use iPhoto when you connect your digital camera?" I respond "yes," only to be presented with the same question the next time I open the program. Any thoughts on why that might be and how I can stop it from asking (and remember that I want to use it with my camera)?

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave that a try, but no luck. Turns out, though, my main volume was corrupted--most likely related to running the public beta of Parallels Workstation (great software, but there's a reason they tell you not to run betas on production computers ). I repaired my drive using Disk Utility and that seems to have done the trick.

I want to edit Pictures that are on my External Hard Drive Using iPhoto without having to import them every time, it was suggested to me to use Aperture. any advise is appreciated

Aperture is a nice program, I use it myself for it's adjustment and light editing capabiities.
You can save a vault on another drive.

HT5129 I have 30+ iPhoto Libraries, so every time I open one, iphoto wants to copy the 3 events I had out there when MobileMe shut down. Those 3 events are saved in the appropriate iPhoto libraries. Wish I had deleted them on MobileMe! How do I turn this

I have 30+ iPhoto Libraries, so every time I open one, iPhoto wants to copy the 3 events I had out there when MobileMe shut down. Those 3 events are already saved in the appropriate iPhoto libraries. Wish I had deleted them on MobileMe! How do I turn this process off?

As Larry mentioned I use a different DAM (digital asset management) appliclation, Media Pro 1. For other possible DAM apps visit The DAM Forum which is for professional photographers. There the various apps are discussed along with workflows. If nothing else you'll get some good information on managing digital "negatives".
Media Pro lets you manage the folder organization of your photos and write metadata, keywords, titles, and other metadata directly back to the files. No matter what app you go with have a backup plan in place to keep current backups of your source photos on separate hard drives.

Click on the More Info button and ignore the web page, go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the MobileMe account. Next to go the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe. That will stop those messages.

Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message: "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported. Do you want to import it? Yes or No" Any suggestions?

Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message: "A photo has been found in the Iphoto library that was not imported. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Quit iPhoto and to to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) - right click (control click) on it and select show package contents - find the folder named import (on importing) and drag it to the desktop - DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES - launch iPhoto and you will be fine.
Open the import(ing) folder and if there is nothing in it that you need move it to the trash and empty the trash

I photo comes up every time I open my mac. I don't really like this. I do not want an automatic start, I want to open in manually. How do I rectify this? Thank you

Every time I open my Mac, I photo comes up automatically, I do not want this..... I want to open it manually. Any suggestions

Could be many things
Some details on your system would help
Some possible things - in the system preferences iPhoto oculd be set as a start up program
If you click and hold on iPhoto inthe dock chect to see if it is set as a start up item
Do you have any FAT formatted storage devices on your system (if you do they will cause iPhoto to launch - to stop in the iPhoto preferences set the action when a camera is connected to do nothing)

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited. In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items. I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible. I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected. Hope this helps!
