Iphoto will open but wont load

My iphoto on my macbook will open but the gear circle just keeps turning and turning ... nothing happens, the pictures will not load, will not recognize iphone. I tried deleting the app and re-installing it but same thing happened. Help. thanks

Try the following to see if you possibly have a corrupted iPhoto library -
Launch iPhoto while holding down the option key on your keyboard.
Select Create New... from the dialog that appears.
See if it opens normally with a blank library. If it does, the problem is with the old iPhoto library.
If that is the case, first thing to do is make a copy of your old iPhoto library, so you will have a backup if anything further goes wrong. Then relaunch iPhoto again holding down the option key and selecting the old library. You will get the gear circle again. Force quit and then follow the steps in this Apple article for rebuilding the iPhoto library.
Best of luck.

I found that if you open iMage Capture App that seems to trigger iPhoto to open and thew camera is connected. At least that happens with my camera. Good luck.

Safari opens but wont load pages

Ever since I've downloaded the latest software updates from Apple a few days ago, safari will open but not load pages 90% of the time. I have to force quit safari multiple times and try it again before it will finally open and load pages. what's up?

I am having the EXACT same problem. At first I thought my network had slowed down, and I was ready to switch to Cable from DSL to speed things up, but then I noticed that when I bring my work portable home and work on the same network, I don't have any problem--although it uses the same network. It's a Dell portable that uses Windows and I get the same speeeds I have gotten until recently on my Apple computers. I switched to Apple and bought a new computer for my daughter last year and one for myself this year to avoid the security problems with Windows XP, but now my service is so slow that even dial-up would be speedier and half of the time the page loads don't work at all. WHat's up with this? I tried Firefox, but it's really not much better after the first day.

Firefox will not load wanted/allowed pop up windows, a new window will open, but nothing loads.

Firefox will not properly load wanted pop up windows from allowed site. It will allow the pop up to open, however nothing loads, it is just a blank window. I have not always had this problem and have not changed any settings to cause this. After the problem started I upgraded to version 3.6.7, cleared all recent history, and turned off pop up blockers. No change.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a week ago

THESoLUTION is here :-) right...
1. you must go to control panel>programs>un-install programs
2. find any versions of java and un-install them (in my case i had something called 'kiwee'.
3. un install and voila!
This solved my problem anyway , apologies if this is not your issue

Firefox just stopped working! It opens but wont load any sites and gives no error messages. internet working as using safari now.

Was in the UK yesterday and Firefox was working no problem. Arrived back in Denmark today and FF has stopped working. Mac was closed down for the flight over. Firefox opens and does nothing.. when I click on a bookmark the address bar stays empty and the little search icon continues to rotate. Reset firefox and still get the same problem. I am using the same internet connection I used before going away! Please help!

Check the connection settings.

Do other browsers and services that can contact internet like e-mail work?

Firefox will open but not load any new tabs or windows after a set amount of time.

After about a day of my computer running, Firefox will stop being able to browse the web at all. Any attempt to open a new window, tab, or refresh an old tab will result in the program not doing anything, or opening a new window/tab with (Untitled) in it. The window cannot be navigated away from this, and will not refresh. Closing Firefox does not solve the problem, nor does ending the process. The only way to restore Firefox's functionality is to restart my machine.

hello spitcher, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

ps. IE works as usual

Problem solved from prior post. Firefox had become blocked somehow by McAfee firewall. Set to full access. Now works perfectly.

When i try to open iphoto it opens but its just a gray window that has the loading icon

when i try to open iphoto it opens but its just a gray window that has the loading icon

What version of iphoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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. .

I have set up iPhoto 11 so that pictures will be edited in Photoshop elements 11. I selected the option to edit in another application. But when I select edit in iPhoto, elements opens but the photo does not open in elements. I'm using a Macbook pro 15 inch with retina display with OS 10.8.4 What is the problem?

It relates to Elements 10, but it's the same for 11.

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

IPhone will connect to network but wont load any internet pages.

OK, I have an iPhone (1.1.1) and an apple airport graphite base station which is connected to a D-Link G604T router.
iPhone will connect to the airport but wont load any internet pages. My iBook works fine on the internet when connected to the airport.
Any ideas?
Thnanks.

Daniel Langer,
Make sure the graphite base station is configured as a bridge, and not assigning IP addresses itself if the D-Link is doing DHCP.
If it is acting as a router, you will have NAT occurring twice, which can have a variety of issues.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Iphoto ver 8.1.2 unable to open iphoto. can hold down mouse button and 1 page of iphoto will open. click anywhere on screen and iphoto closes

Cannot open iPhoto. It's on the toolbar, but will not open. I can hold the mouse over the icon and hold the mouse button down and iPhoto will open to a thumbnail photo, but if I click anywhere on the page, iPhoto closes. iPhoto shows open on top of page, but practically all selectable items are gray.

It sounds like the window might have slipped down below the Dock or similar. Try change your screen resolution and (SystemPreferneces -> Displays) and that should force it back into reach. The return the resolution to whatever it was.

Hi
I actually dont think its Lion (sorry i put that as couldn't remember) as not on that computer at the moment, its at home, I am at work. I know CS2 is compatable with whatever OS I am using because I can using CS2 indesign etc and I was able to use CS2 photoshop until I updated the Camino browser (I believe this is when it stopped working). I have CS5 but it wont work at all on my Powerbook G4.
I can send a message later with the OS I am using and maybe you can suggest other help? They told me in the MAC shop to try and get the installation discs. They also said I would be able to get these via Apple's 'media replacement programme' which I cannot find anyway! To be honest, I am not even sure getting the install discs will work but I'll try whatever I need to try and get Photoshop working on it again!
Thanks

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to restore your iPod.
