My iPhoto crashes as soon as open it, seems to be because of the most recent update.?

i dont know why this is happening.
iPhoto 11'

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
If that doesn't help:
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 cannot open camera raw in photoshop on my mac computer.  I have the most recent updates and was wondering what I should do next.

    I have downloaded the most recent updates on my computer to Photoshop and to Bridge and I am still unable to open images in camera raw to edit them.  When I try to open the "Camera Raw Preferences" in Bridge, nothing happens.  Could this be a problem with my computer and not the software?  Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. 

    Sorry, I cannot take your word for your "the most recent updates".  Very often users think they have the latest and greatest and it turns out they are wrong.
    Please specify EXACT version numbers.
    Also, more info is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

  • What is the most recent update to iPhoto?  I have a note about 9.5 yet my macPro has 9.4.3 and says I am current.

    What is the most recent update to iPhoto?  I am transferring my library from a remote drive to my macPro, using iPhoto library manager, and get a message that the pictures I am transferring are in iPhoto 9.5.  My computer has 9.4.3 and it says my software is up to date.

    iPhoto 9.5.1 is the most recent iPhoto version. However, iPhoto 9.4.3 is the last iPhoto version for your OS X version. If you want to use iPhoto 9.5.1, you need to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. You can download it from the Mac App Store.

  • IPhoto crashes (hangs) soon after opening after updating

    I updated my iPhoto 09 this morning and on re-opening iPhoto after the update it hung after about 10-15 seconds with the spinning wheel of death.
    I have rebooted the system and removed all 3rd party plugins to no effect.
    I have about 12,000 photos.
    I have successfully removed iPhoto and all associated prefs and application support files and re-installed from the iLife DVD and all seems OK.
    Not sure what Apple has done with this update but this is the 1st time in almost 5 years of updates that I have had an issue.
    I hope Apple fixes this quickly for all those affected.
    Regards

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • I used to be able to open links in a new tab by clicking my middle mouse button, but now that I've updated it to the most recent update it doesn't work anymore. How do I fix this? I really love that feature. It works in IE and Chrome but not Mozilla.

    Ok, I used to be able to open links up in a new Tab using my middle mouse button. However, I updated firefox with the automatic Updates on the 26th of October and now I no longer can open links with my middle mouse button. Why? I use this feature just about every time I go searching on the internet so I really would like it back. I couldn't find anything that it was related to in the options so I turn this over to you guys.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

    It's too late now, if you want to use the iPhone, you need to restore.
    It's very Important to backup iif you have important stuff you want to keep, do it more often, especially a IOS updates.

  • I can no longer open torrent files with transmission without downloading them; I could do this easily before the most recent update, how do I make this right??

    I tried to get a torrent file today, normally I tell firefox to open with transmission, today it wasn't an option. I tried to go to preferences and change it there but torrent files weren't even an option. Yesterday it worked fine, but after last nights update I can't get it to work at all.

    Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
    I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
    At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

  • Firefox crash on startup after most recent update?

    Once Firefox installed the most recent update, it will no longer open. It attempts to open, but immediately crashes and the crash report opens. I have tried to uninstall (deleting profile as well) and reinstall, but it continues to crash. This is the most recent version of Firefox, 8.0 I think. Pleeeease help, I hate IE.

    No. None of those are the issues. I had already gone through a lot of the help stuff before I posted this.
    And as I explained earlier, there is no crash ID listed that I can see.

    Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

    If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
    Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

  • IPhoto crashes when trying to open a large photo book

    My wife has been working for days assembling a large (90+ pages) photo book. Now when we go into iPhoto and try to open up the book she's been working o, iPhoto crashes. I can open other photo books we've made, just not that one.

    back up and rebuild your iPhoto library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three options
    Just tried rebuilding the thumbnails like you suggested and still no luck.
    If you used the first three options you rebuilt the entire library - not just the thumbnails - did you select all three or did you select only rebuild thumbnails?
    You need to rebuild the library - not just the thumbnails
