IPhoto11 freezes each time I open it.

I have tried rebuilding the Library, per the instructions from another user with no luck. I even tried making a new Library, still froze. The iPhoto Library works on my dummy account just fine. I really want iPhoto to work on my main account. All my photos are safe, so I'm open to trying just about anything - at this point I may throw the **** thing through the wall!
Any how, I'm running OSX 10.7.3, plenty of space on the HD, 4 gig of memory...

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.

  • IMovie 09 freezes each time I open the project I'm working on. Help?

    iMovie 09 freezes each time I open the project I'm working on. It has worked perfectly fine the past week, but now it won't load different aspects of the screen. For example, when I role over the screen the video will play in the small play back screen, but I can't actually see the film strip or make any changes. Any suggestions? I need to finish this video for work - would love any help!

    Try trashing iMovie's preference file. See this User Tip by AppleMan1958:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
    The Tip relates to iMovie '11. For iMovie '09 the preference file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist" and will be found in your Home folder Library/Preferences (NOT the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD).

    You should never install software or a Firefox extension when a website asks you to do this as this is likely an effort to install malware.
    You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.

  • Beachball in about 7 seconds each time I open iPhoto '09

    My mac crashed yesterday while I had iPhoto open. After this, each time I open it, it freezes and I get that nasty beachball. I tried to do some research to see if I could avoid asking any questions, so I:
    -moved the cache to the trash and emptied
    -moved the preference file to the trash and emptied
    -used iPhoto Library Manager to repair
    -created new Library and tried to move original one into it
    Any way I slice it, iPhoto freezes and I have to force quit.
    Please help me troubeshoot (fix).
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Does the new library work if you just import a few photos at a time? It if does then the original library is damaged and may not be repairable. If the new library also crashes, etc. log into another account on your Mac, create a test library and see if iPhoto will launch and work as it should there. If not then a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder before installing iPhoto.
    If iPhoto works in the other Mac account OK your primary account is the culprit. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
    1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
    2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
    3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
    4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
    NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
    5 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
    B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
    6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

  • Why is TB re-syncing/re-load with GMail all messages each time I open TB? Slows down TB by much each time.

    Why is TB re-syncing/re-load with GMail all messages each time I open TB?
    It does slow down quite heavily. e.g. It takes almost 5 mins to just write a simple short email, since ''freezing'' at every 3-4 caracters.
    All other programs on the computer work fine in the meantime, though. Including word processor. So it is really a TB issue.
    Or is it a GMail issue, forcing download everytime a connection is created ?
    I am on Win8.1 on an ASUS AiO.
    Thanks

    IMAP mail accounts see a remote view of the server.
    You subscribe to see server Folders.
    Headers are downloaded and when you select to view an email, the emails are downloaded to a temp cache to enable quicker access to those emails, but upon exit Thunderbird the temp cache is lost, so you cannot read emails if offline. These emails are not stored on your computer.
    If you synchronise subscribed folders, then a copy of the folder is downloaded to Thunderbird Profile folder and stored in an mbox file. This means you can read them even if offline.
    However, the folder is set up to synchronise with the server when changes occur, so that your copy and the folder on the server are updated to be the same.
    I would recomend that you do not allow folders to get too big as it would take longer to synch.
    more info on IMAP:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization
    Can you see an 'All Mail' folder?
    This is gmails copy of all your emails, so it is gmail Archive of your emails.
    This folder can get huge. As it only shows you what you already have in other folders, it also doubles the size of your Profile and can take a while to download. It is recommended that you do not subscribe to see this folder.
    Read info at link - under 'all Mail' section:

  • How do I set the screen zoom, so that it doesnt change each time I open Firefox. Because I see the webpages in smaller print, and I want them larger , without having to re zoom each time I open Firefox.

    I need to know how to set the zoom option under "View" Tab, shere I dont have to re zoom each time I open Firefox. I have a wide screen monitor and generally, when viewing webpages, the web content on any page is confined to center of the page, and I was wondering if there was anyway to permanently set the zoom preferences without having to change them each time i open a webpage.
    IE 8 and 9 has a feature to set the magnification and i set mine to 150% which works perfectly for me. I wonder if Firefox has a similar feature.

    TonyE
    Thanks a lot. I downloaded the Default FullZoom Level add-on. My problem is now a history. thanks a million

  • I get a message asking me if I want to change my default search engine to Yahoo! Search each time I open Firefox. How do I disable this annoying message?

    For the past few days, each time I open Firefox on my home computer, a popup message is briefly displayed: "Your browser's default search engine is not set to Yahoo! Search. Would you like to set it now? (Yes/No)". After perhaps 15 seconds at most, the popup disappears and my home page appears as normal. I have the Yahoo! Toolbar installed, and Yahoo! Search is the search engine there; however, the search box on the address bar (which allows me to select from several search engines) is normally set to Google. The search engine in the address bar hasn't actually been changed to Yahoo! Search without my consent yet -- I'm just annoyed at getting nagged to change search engines every time I open Firefox. How do I get the "nag" messages to shut up & leave me alone?
    I would also note that this is only happening on my home computer (which runs Windows 7), not on my work computer (which runs Windows XP, and which I also normally use Firefox as my browser on, with the same Yahoo! Toolbar + Google search in the address bar setup).
    I have run Threat Scans with Malwarebytes (paid version) and a Quick Scan with Avast! (free version), and neither has eliminated this "nag" message from Yahoo! Search.

    You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

  • HOW TO STOP THE PROMPTING MESSAGE OF MASTER PASSWORD EACH TIME I OPEN MOZILLA FIREFOX?

    HOW TO STOP THE PROMPTING MESSAGE OF MASTER PASSWORD EACH TIME I OPEN MOZILLA FIREFOX?

    Firefox will ask for the Master Password on startup if it is needed on a page.<br />
    This can be Sync or a web page that is (re)opened automatically and you have saved a name & password for this website.
    You didn't confirm whether you are using Sync or not, so I don't know which of the two would apply.

  • Adobe lightroom asking for serial number each time I open it. Any suggestions?

    I just downloaded Lightroom 5 and updated to 5.7 when prompted on completion of the process. I now have to input the serial number each time I open the programme. Is there any thing I can do, restarting the installation for example, to try and get round this problem?

    I have the same thing happen to me. Every time I start Aperture, it asks for the license. Once I have entered the license key it lets me use the application. However, the next time I use the application again, i get the same problem. I have tried reinstalling the application, and am asked for the license key at the beginning of the install and again once the package is started. To no avail. And I get no other messages.
    I called Apple Support, and after booking a call with a support person (a Genius?), I got one who, after reading the summary of my problem in the service request, said simply "this is for Aperture? Aperture is a Microsoft product, you have to call Microsoft". And that was that.
    Please, anyone have any ideas?

  • MacBook Pro loads crash screen each time I open it.

    Each time I open my MacBook after it's been closed for a while (I haven't time it to see if there's a minimum), it boots on a semi-opaque gray screen with a white loading bar (several rectangular boxes spaced apart from each other). I think that screen is usually for when your computer dies/crashes and reboots itself.
    Any idea what's going on? I tried restarting/turning off and back on (one or the other usually resolves any problem I'm having). I'm running 10.8.2 with the latest firmware updates.
    15" MacBook Pro (Summer 2012)
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB

    500 GB HD
    Thanks!

    I recommend you keep a regular backup going in the time being, as it is very odd that an iTunes update would prevent this. Therefore it may be something bigger that just temporarily stopped coincidentally with your iTunes upgrade. With a Time Machine backup you can also migrate your data to a new installation that should be more stable if the problem persists and is ultimately software-based.

  • My iPhoto application rebuilds each time I open it. How do I avoid?

    Each time I open iPhoto warning appears...need to upgrade library...then inconsistencies appear need to rebuild etc. etc.  But nothing changes permanently.  Why not?  How to fix?

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    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.

  • Acrobat subscription stopped working, each time I open it goes straight to the purchase page

    Acrobat subscription stopped working, each time I open it goes straight to the purchase page

    Hi Poepholl,
    I've checked your account, and nothing seems to be out of order with your Acrobat Pro subscription. Are you launching Acrobat on your desktop? If, for some reason, your subscription has reverted to trial mode, I would expect you'd be presented with the trial dialog box. From that dialog box, you should be able to click License this Software, and then sign in with your Adobe ID and password. If that's not the case, please let us know.
    Best,
    Sara
