IPhoto won't let me empty my trash. It keeps shutting down.

My iPhoto has over 500 photos in it and will not let me empty the trash. Every time I try, it shuts down and does nothing to the trash problem. Anyone know anything about this?

Hi there,
This issue was reported and provided with some solutions attempts here before - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10116513
Quick reading seams to be related to Time Machine, do you use it? Is your backup disk the same of your working disk?
Good luck.

Safari keeps freezing and crashing on my macbook. Won't let me 'force quit', re-start or shut down. HELP!

Sometimes when I am surfing the internet each website gets slower and slower to load, and eventually the little loading rainbow icon just keeps going round and round and it has frozen and crashed. What concerns me also is the fact that when this happens it won't even let me 'force quit Safari'. Although I can still bring other applications up (other than the internet), it won't let me shut down or restart either. The only way to get the internet working again is to press the power button which I know I shouldn't do, but what choice do I have when it won't let me force quit, restart or shut down?
I am up to date with all the software updates. Because I was having this crashing problem I downloaded both iBoostUp (off app store) and MacKeeper off the internet to scan for hidden viruses etc, but it still hasn't eradiated the problem.

Tell us what Extensions you put there; if no extension, what other apps you installed BEFORE this began to occur.
You must fall under one of these situations.

I tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro, but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. now iphoto won't let me do anything to fix!!

i tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro (via external hard drive), but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. so i tried to just delete all those images so i could try a different approach to transferring, but the new iphoto won't let me do anything and every time i try to delete anything it crashes (since the image amount is so high). please help!!

See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229?viewlocale=en_US - I doubt that it will solve your problem, though. You may want to post on the iPhoto forum - that's where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.
Good luck,

Iphoto won't let me print a landscape photo

iphoto won't let me print a landscape photo this is what it is doing when i go to print and it is driving me mad pleaseeee help

That means your original library is damaged and requires first aid. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

IPhoto won't let me edit subtitles in slideshows

I have the latest version of iPhoto, I'm using Lion and everything is updated.
This happens often, not everytime, but iPhoto won't let me edit subtitles in slideshows. When I select the text and begin to type it just gives that annoying "you can't do that but I won't tell you why BEEP" that Apple have devised to irritate the **** out of people.
On this occasion I was using the Sliding Panels theme.
I have closed down iPhoto and restarted several times, but whatever I try it won't let me edit the text. I have read on other forums that this is not an uncommon bug, but not found a solution yet.
Anybody any idea how to fix this, please?
Thanks!
Bruce

As nobody has replied to my post yet I thought I would try something myself, and I seem to have found a work-around.
As I said, I only get this problem now and again - about one slideshow in six - so I changed the theme to one I know works, edited the subtitles as I want them to be, then changed back to the theme I had originally, and everything works perfectly!
You still can't re-edit these subtitles in this theme. You still get the annoying beep if you try.
Incidentaly Apple rather churlishly censored my comment, and replaced it with four asterisks, making it look as if I was using some dreadful expletive. I merely used the commonly used word for The Price of Darkness' home that starts with a letter "h".
Hope this post helps someone with the same problem.

Iphoto won't let me create a new album

Iphoto won't let me create a new album, every time I press the "plus" button it just makes a little pinging sound. I may have accidentally deleted the album section and I'm not sure how to get it back.

How about File -> New Album?

TS2942 I want to delete a file off a thumb drive but get error 1407 which won't let me delete or trash the file. What do I do?

I want to delete a file off a thumb drive but get error 1407 which won't let me delete or trash the file. What do I do?

Hmmm, what Format is the Thumb drive?
In the Mac/AFP world...
errFSNotAFolder = -1407, /* Expected a folder, got a file */
Is there perhaps a colon or Backslash, or slash in the filename?

I have an iPhone 4 it won't let me download any apps I keep getting the message that my device has no memory left and I do have 1.9G left what's wrong as far as I know everything is up to date on the phone it is running slow please help thanx!

I figured out what was going on the app had miss represented how much space it would take it had said it was 1.2g's however it was really 1.9g's which was all I had left on the phone I downloaded it to my computer first from the apps store then was able to see this. At that point I was able to rearrange some memory to accomadate it's size thanx for the help.

I have a iPad 2 I brought it yesterday and it has an update for iOS 6.1 but it won't let me download it. It keeps saying your no longer connected to the Internet but I'm connected to my wifi. Can you help please

Hi Blueandpink,
If you are running iOS 4, you will need to update the iPad via iTunes on your computer (can't do OTA updates unless you have iOS 5 or higher).
If you have a first generation iPad, unfortunately you won't be able to update to iOS 6 (iOS 5 is the highest you can update to on the original iPad).
If you are on an iPad 2, 3, or 4th generation with iOS 5 and it still isn't working, try holding down on both the Sleep AND Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the update issue. Try updating again.
Hope this helps!

I purchased something in a app after I changed my credit card but now it won't let me make a purchase and keeps charging me how do I fix this

Are you adding or changing your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

When I empty my trash, my memory goes down?

So,
I've just noticed this today,
and I probably should have noticed this earlier but anyways...
Whenever I empty my trash,
my memory goes down?
Is that normal?
Because it doesn't seem right to me,
shouldn't it increase being that I've emptied something from my computer?
How do I go about fixing this?
Or is it something I shouldn't be worrying about?
Sorry for all the questions...I'm just confused...
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

CrownJules:
Whenever I empty my trash, my memory goes down?
You mean your Hard Disk Drive capacity, right? Or do you mean memory as in RAM?
Do you have FileVault turned on?
What is the capacity of your HDD, and how much free space do you have?
Download and runWhat Size. It will scan your HDD and list the contents by size. Look through the list for anything that looks suspicious, especially that larger files that are eating up your space.
Take a look at this article: Where Did My Disk Space Go?.
Do post back with further questions, comments or an update.
Good luck.

The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.
