My macbook freezes when l try to upload photos

my macbook freezies when i try to upload photos to a web site.

When someone complains that their music upload stalls I immediately think of three problems:
1) corrupt song(s)
2) bad cable
3) bad hard drive
The list is actually in reverse order of my expectations. Since you were able to format the drive it obviously hasn't suffered a hard crash but there might be a very large number of bad sectors. Go here to see how to put the iPod into diagnostic mode so you can further check the drive.
If the drive passes muster borrow another cable. And finally, create a playlist and verify that each song is good by playing it. See if it will sync. If it does, add more songs (verified good). Keep repeating.

Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive.

Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive. This just started happening in the past couple of days. I haven't installed any software, or made any updates (that I can remember.) When the browser freezes I can't "force quit" them. I have to manually shut the computer down are restart it. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Safari and Firefox box.... it could be a problem with the hard drive itself, not your browsers.
Just to make sure, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to Verify and if necessary, Repair any errors Disk Utility reports.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

I am receiving an error message that "photos has stopped respoding" when I try to upload photos to icloud photo library

I keep receiving an error message "Photos has stopped responding" when I try to upload photos to icloud photo library.

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

When i try to upload photos for various things my computer freezes

when i'm in facebook i've tried to upload photos on to my business page but as soon as i select iphoto the whole of safari freezes. i can' use other areas of my computer just not the internet. also i'm trying to order a printed canvas online and when i try to upload from the website the same thing happens.
i can be in iphoto and "share" the pics to facebook but not the other way round.

That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
If you are running Tiger or Leopard:
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
If you are running Lion:
From the Finder Menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder, and in the box that opens write:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Delete the second item if it is there.
Now select Go to Folder again and enter /Library
From the folder that opens, delete the following items if they are there (you may need your login password):
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
then close the folder. Now select Go to Folder again and write: /Applications/Toolbars
Delete that item and close the Finder windows you opened. Log out then log back in, and you should be rid of it.
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

IPhoto keeps crashing when I try to upload photos

iPhoto keeps crashing when I try to upload photos

This since updating to 9.2?
If so, try removing the 3ivx folder from

IPhoto freezes when I try to import photos - why?

Whenever I try to import photos from my camera (an olympus 780) iPhoto takes a long time to 'think about it' and then just freezes. It's the same when I try to bluetooth photos from my phone to iPhoto. Now when I just try to open iPhoto it freezes - why is this? I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and have iPhoto '11.

First try this: iPhoto_Pref_and_Cache make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

When I try to upload photos from iphoto firefox crashes everytime

When I try to attach a photo from iphoto to facebook or gmail or anything firefox crashes everytime. This just started happening. I have the most updated version of firefox and I have uninstalled and reinstalled it also. It only happens with iphoto. When I used to upload images it would show thumnails to choose from, now it shows thumbnail with saze and date info and I cannot switch it to just thumbnails becasue the buttons above do not highlight. This started when the crashing started.

Safari crashing when I try to upload photos to facebook

Hi,
I uploaded photos from my macbook to facebook about a week ago and it worked fine. Just after though, I tried to upload more photos and when i was given the option to click the photos i wanted to upload, safari crashed. I have tried a number of times now and it keeps happening. Ive tried emptying the cache, allowing cookies, changing safari to 32-bit-mode and re-setting safari and these havent worked. Safari is working perfectly besides this. I have an older Macbook Pro (2008) version 10.6.8 running snow leopard.
Thanks for your help

Why does my Macbook freeze when I try to transfer my Powerbook files

Hello out there
I have been having trouble with my PB and could not retrieve any of my files... the bash shell appeared. I thought my files were gone forever.
I was able to find my HD through utility disk, great!
The problem is that I am trying to retrieve my files with a MB, but it freezes everytime I tried to move the files from PB. The spinning rainbow wheel appears?!!!
Utility Migration doesn't work either...it doesn't see my PB HD. Is the problem that the system run under two different X programs? Jaguar, Tiger?
Should I put in the utility disk in my PB ??
I can't think of any other problem.
Help please : ) My my senior thesis depends on it.
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.3)

I have the same issue. When I click on the button search image (of the web page I want to add a picture on) nothing happens. If I try to change web page or website, the picture window appears but is frozen and I cant select any pictures or even cancel the request. I then need to force quitting Safari because of it.
Help me
