iphoto will not open. The circle keeps spinning and nothing opens.
If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
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. More information means you get better assistance.

HP PHOTO CREATIONS WILL NOT INSTALL...CIRCLE KEEPS SPINNING!!!
OHHH I am upset! AFTER bragging about HP products so much...I am now very disappointed. I had some issues with my printer & software so I uninstalled it all using revo uninstaller to make sure to clean up any leftover files. I reinstalled the software from my original disc. Yes the printer works but NO I can no longer get my photo creations software to work anymore
It always worked in the past. I even complemented this software program cause I really liked it. I have tried everything possible. I have unistalled again and again...I have downloaded the software from HP website. I have cleaned my temp files, run virus scans, made sure my net framework was up to date as well as all windows files.
I sent an email and was told to call about this. I really don't understand why I must call and why this issue isn't posted somewhere with a fix because I know others have this issue too.
When I try to install it all it does is show that spiral circle spinning and spinning and nothing loads!!!
WHY won't this load when I have had it in the past. Nothing has changed. I have not installed anything new etc. Doesn't ANYONE have the answer without me having to get on the phone to call???
Thanks
This question was solved.

Hooray!
Success!
Interesting that you had so many Updates pending -- On such an old Windows Version, I admit that I didn't think that would be the case. There are usually a few that Auto Updates catches and updates over time -- not usually so many to pile up on an older OS. Smiling.
If the UAC bugs you because it blanks your screen every time you want to do something -- you can usually get away with having it turned down but NOT off:
Happy Computing!

For the past two weeks, whenever I've logged off there has always been one update waiting to be installed. I found this curious, so last night I waited to see what would happen. The wheel just kept spinning and spinning--and pretty obviously the update was not installed. And now the update is still waiting to be installed. (Only in the last instance, when I was checking to see what happened, did I power off the computer. In all the previous instances, I found the computer OFF when I checked the following morning. However, the update had obviously not been installed.) How do I solve this problem? Thanks.
That is the security software. This is what I posted at Microsoft;
=============================================
I had an issue with my Win 7 Microsoft Security Essentials. Windows update
would download the upgrade, but the upgrade could not install. After many
hours of searching help sites and web search engines, I finally found out
what the problem was. Somehow, Windows lost the install information
file. And without those files.......<br>
Go to
'''''[http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled]'''''
and check it out. I ended up using the Fix-It program to manually remove
two programs called Microsoft Security Client. Don't forget to first download
the current Microsoft Security Essentials first. -
Again,
My macbook pro just frooze while on-line. I got the rainbow wheel spinnin and it wouldn't stop I tried to do a force quit and I was unable to do that. So I held down the power button. Now when I try to restart it I can't get by the while page with the apple symbol on it. All I have is the grey circle spinning continuosly like it is working. I tried a command S when I started it back up and checked the HD and rebooted, still can't get by the startup page. Any suggestions?I'm having the same problem. I started an automatic upgrade that then got "stuck" for hours. I did a hard shut down and now all I get when I try to reboot is the spinning wheel. I haven't done a backup in 3 months and can't afford to lose everything in a reinstall. Any suggestions?

iPhoto will not load the iPhoto library. When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it. I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.
I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
recreate the library I believe. It's been a while so I cant remember
exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
have had no problems with it.

My Ipad 2 won't reboot. the little circle keeps going round but the buttons don't work. help please.
My Ipad 2 won't reboot. The little circle keeps going round but that's all, it won't boot. nothing happens when I press the button on the top either. Please help.
After you hold the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears (ignore the red slider to shut down) then let go of both buttons and you don't need to do anything else. Your iPad will restart all by itself. Just be patient, but leave your iPad alone after the Logo appears.

I am having problems shutting down my MacBook Pro. I go to the apple and click shutdown or restart, it appears the shutdown process starts, the screen goes blue and the little circle keeps going round and round, but nothing happens even after 30 minutes.
Make sure you quit all your applications before shutting down.
And try resetting the SMC.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.
There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

When we rent a show like The Good Wife while watching the show it freezes and the little circle goes around and around. The only way to get the program going again is to use the remote and go forward or backward. This happens throughout the whole show and it is impossible to watch. Can anyone help? We cannot watch movies or shows this way.

My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?
I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.

My iPad isn't getting connection to internet. It just suddenly stopped! It says it is connected to WiFi but it just keeps spinning and nothing will come up. Have tried rebooting my router and iPad (my other computer is connected just fine).
Try turning WiFi off on the iPad, then reset it again, turn WiFi on again and join your network again if necessary. Or go to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reset your iPad and then join your network again. Or - settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings. Reset the iPad, then try to join your network again.

Iphoto will not open . Wheel just keeps spinning and spinning. Cannot reboot
My IPHOTO app will not open on my computer. When I open the app the wheel just keeps spinning . If I try to upload a picture from my library to facebook it tells me I need to upgrade to IPHOTO 5 or above.but then my computer tells me there are no upgrades needed for my computer. What is the issue here ? My photos just never appear. Only the little wheel spinning
what version of iphoto do have? Of the OS?
If iPhoto will not quit you can force quit - Apple menu ==> force quit
You can try to Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

The little icon keeps spinning
The little circle spins between every action. what to do?
Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "I/O error" | tail | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the window will be empty. If you get output like this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error
the boot drive is failing, or there's some other hardware fault in the storage subsystem. -
When I have documents open and I walk away for a few minutes, when I come back and resume working, my computer freezes up and the little pinwheel starts spinning. I literally have to unplug it to get out of this frozen state. This has been getting progressively worse over the past three months. I recently took it into the Genius Bar and they could not find anything wrong. They told me to add more memory, which I did. However, the problem persists. Do you know why my computer would freeze up after the screen has had no activity for just a few minutes? My screen saver is set for an hour so I know this is not the problem.
What kind of documents? Office? iWork? Text Edit? What version?
What settings do you have in regards to power saver and/or screen saver?
For these kinds of system glitches I always recommend installing and running Onyx 'Automation'. If that does not work you should reinstall the offending software, if possible.
