My iphoto froze during download of images, cant close it, what should i do

I am have problem with iphote, tried to download picture from camera, over 1000 picture, didnt know it was that many, anyway, iphoto froze in process, cant shut program down dont know if all images download, cant delete images, help

Force quit iPhoto, if it is still hanging - from the "Force quit" panel in -menu in the upper left corner of your screen.
Then repair your iPhoto library - launch iPhoto while firmly holding down the key combination ⌥⌘, until the First Aid panel pops up. Select "Repair Database" from this panel and press "repair".
If iPhoto launches again after the repair, check, which photos have been imported.
Look, for a "Recovered" item in your library source list. Maybe some stray photos have been put there.
Then try importing again, but this time in smaller installments.
BTW, iPhoto freezing during import can be caused by not enough disk space available. How full is your hard drive?

I use an iMac 10.6.8 with iPhoto '09 to download digital images from Canon DSLRs. Until the last two weeks there has been no trouble whatever importing images by a USB connection from either camera to the Mac. Now the process will not kick in. Any ideas?

I use an Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 09 to download digital images from two Canon DSLRs. Until the last week, there has been no problem whatever in launching the import procedure once the USB connection has been connected and the camera switched on. Now the process will not kick in at all for either camera. I can't find a solution through iPhoto help or from other sources.
Any ideas to fix? (I admit I have not tested the USB cable at this time).

What does "kick in" mean?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

What HTTP caching headers will prevent iPhoto from re-downloading each image in a "Photo Feed" every time it checks the feed for new content?

I've noticed a practical issue with iPhoto's File->"Subscribe to Photo Feed..." feature.
Every time that iPhoto checks a subscribed RSS Photo Feed for new content it will re-download each and every photo in the feed. This occurs even if iPhoto has already downloaded each image, they all have unique GUIDs set, and no content in the feed has changed since the last time it polled for it.
My best guess is that this happens if the server offering the feed does not produce the proper cache-control parameters in the HTTP Headers that are sent by the server when the RSS feed is accessed by iPhoto.
Does anyone know what parameter/value pairs need to be set in the HTTP headers to prevent iPhoto from re-downloading RSS enclosures that it already has?
This is a very practical problem for feeds with a large number of photos of large file size. Besides the obvious massive waste of bandwidth, the user receives an annoying error whenever they try to quit iPhoto before the feed and all of it's images have been re-downloaded yet again.

Here is an example of the HTTP headers for two of the images in the feed.
Any red flags in there that you think might be causing iPhoto to think it needs to re-download the images after it's already downloaded them once?

I have taken pictures of items that are linked to a database that I am building. How can I bypass importing into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database? thanx.

I have taken pictures with both my Sony camera and my iPhone of items that are linked to a database that I am building, as well as my website. How can I bypass importing the images into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database? thanx.

If your Sony has a removable memory card you can use a card reader to copy the image files from to a folder on your Desktop and then move them anywhere you'd like.
Since the iPhone doesn't have a removable memory card you can try using Image Capture to see if you can manually upload the files to a folder on the Desktop.
If you have to import the photos, which are image files, into iPhoto you can then export them out of iPhoto to the Desktop and go from there to your database. Just because they are in iPhoto doesn't prevent you from using them elsewhere.
OT

When I open iPhoto this appears- "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" I have not used iPhoto before on this computer. I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager as suggested but nothing happened. What should I do?

I think the usual advice is to use the Rebuild command in Library Manager.

Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

my ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

Hi,
I have the same problem. My Ipad 3 was a bit slow/unresponsive, and then it just went blank. I pressed the home button to see if it would come back on, and it was extremely slow, but it did show me the home screen. However, then it went off and wont come back on at all now. I have tried charging, tried the reboot, connected to itunes (which cannot detect the ipad) and nothing is working.
The ipad is only 2 months old, and no damage!
Any suggestions? Thanks

You probably cannot get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:

It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

HT1222 I CAN'T install the iOS 7.0.2 in my iphone 4. There's an error occured in downloading iOS 7.0.2. What should I do?

I can't install iOS 7.0.2 in my iphone 4. There's an error occured in downloading iOS 7.0.2. What should I do? but my software already iOS 7.tnx

Are you using iTunes to do the update OTA on your iPhone? If its on iTunes and its giving you the error
I reccomend creating a iCloud backup and then downloading the iOS 7.0.2 .ipsw file and installing it manually from your PC. So follow these steps below to do this. (these instructions are for Windows i dont have a Mac so i don't know what you do haha but if you need it i could help and try.
Connect your iPhone to your PC and open iTunes.
If your iPhone uses AT&T or i think T-Moblie download the file here http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9871.20130924.7imYu/iPhone3,1_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw (its large! about 1.2 GB)
If its a 8 GB AT&T iPhone use this link http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9821.20130924.jJ61o/iPhone3,2_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw
If its Sprint or Verizon use this link http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9794.20130924.umlNu/iPhone3,3_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw
Now once it's downloaded go to iTunes while your iPhone 4 is connected and hold SHIFT AND CLICK "Check for update" and then find where you downloaded the .ipsw file and select it.
It should work if there is a problem please reply and tell me the issue. Oh and btw MAKE SURE YOY DO A BACKUP TO iCloud

Shutdown then restart if possible. If you do restart OK, then try the update again after doing this:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

There is nothing you can do about Activation Lock until you contact the previous owner. Until then you have a paperweight that looks like an iPhone.
