Messages and photos apps freezing my macbook

Since I updated to 10.10.3 my messages app and photos app freeze my macbook. I have to hard reboot it to get anywhere. If I click on either of those before anything else it won't let me go any further. But everything else seems fine. I haven't been using them and haven't had any issues since.  Any suggestions? Or is anyone else having this issue?

Have you installed "Kaspersky Security" or any other "anti-virus" software?

  • I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?

    I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?
    This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

    This is a followup to my own posting above.
    Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted.  I deleted the app from iTunes.  Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes.  I said yes and then synched.
    Readdledocs is now working again.  It is no longer frozen.  However, I have learned my lesson.  I will download only pdf's from now on.  I don't think it works so well with epub files.  The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

  • Photos app freezes when I try to use share-message

    This has been going on with iPhoto since one of its updates about 6 months ago.  And now with the new Photos app on my MacBook Pro same thing: when I try to share a photo by sending an iMessage the app freezes.  I can maybe get a recipient name entered in, but the little pop up box is totally grayed out and it freezes and the whole Photos app freezes.  I have to quit then app in order to get out of the mess.  Can anyone offer some help?  Thanks.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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 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. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • HT4889 how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air

    how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

    thanks but exactly how do I do this.  I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through.  I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
    Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder.  I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

  • Can't access photos in camera roll - camera and  photo app crashes

    Have iphone 4 with iOS 5.0. Took pictures but now I can't access any photo in the Camera Roll. When I now try to take a picture, Camera app crashes. If I try to access the Camera Roll via Photo App, it too crashes. Can't see the photos from iTunes either. Shows it as unknown data. Is there anyway to rebuild the photo library or remove a corrupted photo since I think that is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks to Steve Kehlet who posted the solution that helped me and saved my day, https://discussions.apple.com/message/16405821#16405821

    You will need to download PhoneView, but the free 7 day demo does the job - and my camera and photo app are up and running again!

  • My wife just got the new macbook air. What cable do I need to copy music and photos from my 2007 macbook to the new macbook air?

    my wife just got the new macbook air. What cable do I need to copy music and photos from my 2007 macbook to the new macbook air?

    Try doing it without a cable!
    Use AirDrop, described here:

    UPDATE - Oh, sorry, I see the article points out the MacBook is too old for AirDrop.

  • Lost All my Contacts, Message and Photos after ios5.0.1 Update.

    I updated ios 5.0.1 yesterday and then Sync with itune to copy my apps and others. Later this morning I relise that my message and photos has been deleted and my contacts on iphone has been replaced with contacts from addressbook from mac.
    I had just a few contacts on mac which I store from my last Sony Ericson Mobile.
    I am in Big Trouble now. No contacts, no message and no photos, which I really want it back.
    Suggest me people.

    Did you do a backup before you updated to the new version?
    have you check iclouds to see if its in there?

  • Options to lock Messages and Photos

    I have an iphone5s and I was wondering if their is an options to lock the Message and Photos. My son usually send photos to someone in my contact lists whenever he plays his game on my phone.. please help..

    You may want to look at using Guided Access to lock him into a particular app so he can't exit and send photos, messages, etc.

  • Messages and Photo Booth not working properly

    I've been having a problem with my Messages and Photo Booth applications, as well as a bunch of other Apple applications.
    Messages won't let me switch conversations, Photo Booth won't let me click the video recording option, iMovie just won't work and GarageBand won't let me edit compositions. I've tried restarting my computer, but that didn't help (although my computer ran faster).
    I also can't close the application without having to actually quit the application instead of clicking the x button.
    Help would be gladly appreciated!

    You can also try setting up another user account.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  • Camera and Photos app keeps crashing!!!

    I had no problems last week until yesterday...i even did a clean restore but still the camera and photos app tend to crash
    it keeps stating "Please Wait" Updating Library...
    and the bar reaches up to about 30% loading and then crashes....anybody else having these problems on their 3gs?

    This means the answer is no - a clean restore does not mean you restored your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
    All photos and/or video in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone and your iPhone's backup alone for this data in the event your iPhone is lost or stolen and it is not replaced with another iPhone, or there is a hardware problem with your iPhone.
    I always import all photos and videos captured by my iPhone with my computer ASAP as with any other digital camera and as with any other digital camera, I delete the photos and videos from the camera after the import process is complete. This also helps to keep the iPhone's backup time to a minimum, provides me a copy of this data on my computer for viewing along with including this data with my computer's backup along with all other important data, and if I want any of the imported photos and videos available on my iPhone for viewing, I can transfer the photos and videos from my computer to my iPhone via the iTunes sync process as with any other photos/video.
    Try importing the photos/videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll followed by deleting the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If no change after doing so, restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
