My iPhoto is being non-responsive, help?!

Whenever I use my iPhoto library it wont quit when I press exit and if I leave the library and come back to it, it becomes non-responsive. Could somebody please help me figure out how to fix it?

Hi...
Try "force quitting" .. several ways to do this.
Press Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard.
Or, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit.
Or, you can force quit apps using Activity Monitor located in /Applications/Utilities

IPhoto is always non-responsive

Every time I open iPhoto I get the spinning color wheel and it does not respond to anything except manually quitting it. I have the recent software

back up your iPhoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your library

IMac OS X, iPhoto permanently non responsive after attempted download.

I was downloading about 20 photos and 3 vidios from memory card using the iMac slot. After selecting download for all the new images iPhoto became non responsive and required a force quit. iPhoto now goes non responsive (after about 10 to 15 seconds) every time I start it. The event that would have been created by the download shows but appears to be empty. If there was some way I could delete this event I'm thinking (guessing) it might fix the problem, but have been unable to find a way outside of iPhoto. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. OS X 10.6.8 iPhoto 8.1.2

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Non-responsive keys on keyboard.

Hi guys,
I hope someone can help me out figuring out my problem. I have MacBook Pro 13-inch, Late 2011, Processor 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 Serial Number C02HG0WKDV14 Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34).
One day I turned my mac on and it had "M" key stuck, it just kept typing this key. I tried resetting SMC, PRAM and all advices on-line with no success so decided to open it and clean it all up.
During the clean up I accidentally pealed off the black foil on the backlit which I thought caused the following issue of various random keys being non-responsive. So I bought new backlit which in the end did not fix it at all.
Bellow are highlighted the non-responsive keys
One thing I noticed that all keys started to work when was on the plane, probably the pressurized cabin made it work.
Do you by any chance have any ideas what is the problem? How can it be fixed? I just can't live airborne
Thank you for your help

The best thing to do would be take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out and see what is wrong with the key switches.
By the way, the "pressurized cabin" of a commercial airliner is actually at reduced atmospheric pressure, only about 80% of the pressure at sea level. That should not have a physical affect, but have the techs check out the keyboard.

Help! iPhoto troubles - non responsive/potential loss of photos

Hi, my iPhoto crashed a few months ago and after an automatic repair option, it's no longer working properly. Amongst the problems that I have been experiencing include:
- preview icons for each event or album do not display properly (i.e. the same photo shows up);
- it's extremely slow and non responsive, and usually leads to me having to force the programme to quit without achieving any thing with my photos.
If I reinstall iPhoto, how can I ensure that my photos are now accidentally erased forever? I have not backed up most of the photos I am afraid.
Any tips would be extremely welcome!

Give the following a go: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Where is your vault stored? Is it on a drive with the correct formatting - MacOS Extended (Journaled)?

HELP Upgraded to IPhoto 11 from IPhoto 8 and none of the pictures from the old library are showing in the new one.

I upgraded my IPhoto 8 to IPhoto 11 and now none of the pictures from my previous albums are showing in the new version. I hope someone has an answer to help!

Since the iPhoto First Aid didn't help try this:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

IPhoto will not open, saying that the app is being updated - but it is not being updated. Help please!

Hello all
My iPhoto will not open. I get a system popup saying "iPhoto is being updated. iPhoto cannot be opened while it is being updated".
I have checked and it is not being updated and I have restarted the Mac.
Suggestions will be gratefully received!
Many thanks!

Try delete it and reinstall.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

IPhone Gen 1 - Bottom Multi-Touch non-responsive

My phone is out of warranty as of July 2nd, 2008. Google this issue about the bottom half of the iHone not working and this is a KNOWN MANUFACTURE defect but Apple wants $199 to replace with like model of Gen 1 iPhone.
If I want to spend the same money I can get the 3G but I have to extend my contract for a KNOWN MANUFACTURE defect.
Does anyone work at apple that could please help me replace my first gen iphone with another first gen. iphone.
- Life long Apple User

I just had the same problem with a non-responsive bootom portion of the screen on my 1st generation. Apple knows that it is a screen defect yet to all of us first buyers and believers in Aplle service, they just want to sell us a new iphone. I had gone into the store after being told tha it was a know defect to Apple the day before to purchase a new 3G iphone for my girlfriend and replace my 1st generation phone...but am told that to since my phone was purchased in July of 2007, known defect or not, it will not be replaced and to repair it is the same price as the new 3G!!! so much for believing in Apple service, especailly when I see that others below have had their phone replaced "no questions asked"!!! If anyone hears of replacement or Apple standing up to the service standards, please let me know.

Safari Slow to Load/Freezes Up (Non-Responsive)

I'm not sure if this would be caused from the recent update to my Macbook Pro - appears the last update had me go from Mountain Lion to Mavricks, btw.
Lately the Safari browser either becomes completely un-responsive or it begins to load a page, but halfway it pauses. I understand that this can simply be something going wrong with my internet connection, but being none of my other devices patched into my wifi network seem to not have this problem. I'm convinced something must running amok with my Macbook Pro, or Safari itself.
Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue? Its starting to become annoying

Lately the Safari browser either becomes completely un-responsive or it begins to load a page, but halfway it pauses
Might be a cache issue ..
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, try here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here

Satellite A660 - USB 2.0 ports are non responsive

My Satellite A660 Series Laptop is one month old and has been working fine until now. However, I powered on the machine and all three USB 2.0 Ports are non responsive. I've Shut-Down and Restarted the computer - no change.
In (Windows 7 - 16 Bit OS) Control Panel - Manage Devices - it says that all USB 2.0 Ports are recognised and working. In reality, NO device in any of the three (3) USB2.0 Ports are actually being recognised or working at all - there is no response. Interestingly, the one (1) eSATA/USB combo port is working and responding properly.
Can anyone help?
Should i just send it backto the shop? Yes it is still under warranty.

Hey,
> Should i just send it backto the shop?
No, I think its just a USB driver problem.
In your case I would reinstall the chipset driver from official Toshiba website. Even you have the newest version, try reinstalling it because it contains the USB drivers and maybe its something wrong with it.
After chipset driver installation test it again. If it doesnt work remove all USB ports from device manager and restart your notebook. The USB ports will be reinstalled automatically.
What BIOS version you have installed?

PS CC Frozen and non responsive.

My PS CC has frozen and become non responsive. It had been working fine until this week. I contacted Adobe support, got the usual "we can't help, contact technical support in 4 hours (please just smile and accept being punished for being in a different time-zone), or call this number to a closed office".
Has anybody else experienced their PS CC freezing and becoming non responsive?
If so did you fix it, and how?

Then you will have to go for a uninstall, then use the CS Cleaner tool and reinstall.

N96 *immediate, non-responsive* reboot loop - PLEA...

Hi all, I really need some help, please, ASAP! PLEASE!
I have a Nokia N96 with the latest version of software (which has been operating ok for now - and I think that the N96 has Symbian OS 2.3 or something??)
I installed a program on my phone and it warned that my memory was low --> "Memory low. Delete or move some data from c: Phone memory" so I uninstalled a 2mb theme.
I then installed a little divx player which I thought wouldn't be much but then I turned off my phone and on (the other program said that I had to reboot my phone) and then my phone would start up and it would start loading up but it would immediately display the "Memory low. Delete or move some data from c: Phone memory" error (while it was trying to autoload everything that autoloads on the phone).
When this error message comes up the only option is "Ok" but the OK button is non-responsive (we all know that these phones take a while to load up) and within a couple seconds (you can't push a button and get a single response out of the phone to even try sort the problem out) the phone switches off and then switches back on with the same error without being able to do anything about it - perpetual loop!!!
Because it is in this perpetual loop I tried pluggin in my cable to delete data off C: (anything I could possibly get to in time) but it doesn't pick it up in time!
So, I am stuck in this "Low memory loop" without being able to get out of it. PLEASE HELP! I desperately need my phone, ASAP! I was thinking there would be a soft-on startup (e.g. hold x and y buttons for example and switch on and it doesn't load up some autoload stuff?) but I couldn't find one after *extensive* googling and forum-browsing.
I would be so so so grateful if someone could PLEASE HELP!
Thanks very much,
Darren
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds like your best option may be the multifingered reset which will wipe all user data from your phone, including the offending apps,
Before you try that tho try booting the phone with the memory card removed
If that doesn't work then this is your best option
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
It may take a few attempts and very flexible fingers.
It will remove everything from your C drive and return the phone to an out of box state

Firefox 13 is unusable hanging/non-responsive. I've downgraded flash, uninstalled plugins & un/reinstalled Firefox but I can't use it to try other possibl fixes

Since updating to Firefox 13 it not only runs slow but hangs and becomes non-responsive on all different websites. I was told that the most recent Flash update was known to be incompatible with Ffx 13, so down-dated Flash and uninstalled non-essential plugins - which definitely helped, but has not fixed the problem.
I haven't even been able to try the other potential fixes I've found on the Support site (adding into my computer's safe settings in case of firewall issue or creating a new profile) because Firefox won't work long enough for me to access them. At this point, shouldn't I just down-date to the last version of Firefox??

All of a sudden firefox has become unstable - its hanging on the NYTIMEs website. I've done done everything - uninstalled, reinstalled, removed all add-ons, used default themes, reset firefox. Some serious problem here - I had to switch back to IE9. (Version 16.0.1 Firefox running under Windows 7)
Oh by the way, I'm having the same problem on different computers all of which are running the latest firefox under Windows 7

Safari (7.0.1) is non-responsive (spinning pinwheel) upon start up. It will work in temp user account but not in my main user acct. I tried reinstall via comman-r prompt on start up but the problem persists. Any suggestion for reinstall or repair?

Safari is non-responsive after intitial start up. Before it can load the homepage (google), it will hang and give a perpetual pinwheel until I force quit the program. Safari works in temporary user account but not in my primary user account. I have reinstalled osx via the command-r upon start up and the problem still persists. Any suggestions on how to reinstall or repair safari?

Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
Thanks again for your suggestion.
Gordon
