Photo Library seems like it won't load

Do I have too many photos? Apple TV is taking an extra long time loading my Aperture Photo Library (49,000 pix) to be used for Screen Saver duties. How long should this process take? If I back out of selecting which libraray to use, device reverts back to default of Animals pix. What's up?  Anybody?

  • After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. This didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?

    After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. It also tells me that home sharing isn't on even though it is and then I have to turn it off and on on the PC so the Apple TV even recognizes the photo library. These issues didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?

    Update on my previous comment. I have solved my issue. Issue was with Windows 7 firewall not operating correctly. I was unable to add itunes to the 'Allow programs to communicate through windows firewall'. Found the following page useful http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-fire wall-cant-change-some-of-your-settings/514d78fb-39e9-47b1-b561-bc49cbdad904
    Followed the instructions to the foot of the page, restarted PC, normal service resumed on windows firewall, added itunes to list to communicate through firewall. restarted itunes, restarted appletv, success!!!
    Hope this may help somone else.

  • Library Update rqstd on Aperture 3.2; now won't open get msg "error opening data base for the library "~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary"   TIme machine won't load backup "error code -8003"

    Aperture working on OS 10.6.8 then Library Update rqstd on Aperture 3.2; said yes;

    You’re running an outdated copy of Safari on your Desktop. That won’t work.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Check that the Safari application is in that folder. If it is, use it, and delete the copy on your Desktop. Never move or copy built-in applications.
    If you've deleted Safari from the Applications folder, back up all data, then reinstall OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Can't view photos on Palm TX - application won't load?

    Just attempted to load a few photos onto my TX (besides the stock photos that come with the TX) and now the application won't load?? The error msg I get is "The application cannot be launched because it is missing localization information" - what does this mean and how do I resolve this problem??? I could view the pics that came with the TX before but now since attempting to add my own it doesn't work anymore. FYI ....I had the same pics on my Tungsten E prior to this Palm without any problems.
    Please advise.
    Thanks.... 
    Post relates to: Tungsten E

    Sounds like you didn't follow Palm's Upgrade Directions and now have system and preferences files that belong to the T|E on your TX. Hard reset the TX and follow these directions.

  • ITunes library on external drive won't load, iTunes says disk is full and only partial library loads. What is it doing, making another copy?

    I have an archive of all my music on an external drive. I wanter to play the music on another computer. When I hooked up the drive and launched iTunes with option key, I linked up the library on the external. iTunes gets part way through linking then says can't load the rest as the disk is full. What disk? What is iTunes doing that it needs more hard drive space for files that already exist? Why can't iTunes just see the files on the external and play them without this seeming dupe process?

    Tried hooking up my external drive to my Mini. This morning my Mini had all my info listed, but I couldn't play any songs, for obvious reasons. Now, my Mini is hooked up to the external, iTunes prefs are set on the path to the external - but there is no music in iTunes. No lists, no songs, nada. Just a virgin iTunes window. ***?

  • Genius and large library seems like a no go.

    I have a large library, slightly under 100k tracks,(yes in the music business and with thousands of cd's digitized over the last 8 years)and it seems that my genius, under Itunes 9, goes through the process and then as soon as it starts to send to Apple it tells me there is not enough memory - the apple store has an error. It was fine under version 8.x. Has anyone with a library that size or greater been successful in getting genius to function. BTW, aside from uninstalling, checking all settings, etc., I made a small library of about 1000 tracks and it was fine.

    I had a similar problem because the external monitor was not properly identified. Some fooling around in the display properties finally allowed the monitor to be seen and then I could set the resolution differently then the internal monitor and clamshell worked fine, for hour and hours, even if the MBP went to sleep. Waking it with lid closed brought everything up on the external monitor.
    Sorry but I can't remember exactly what I did. But it is my nature that if something isn't working the way I want it to I hit every button and or option in whatever screen I'm in until it starts work the way I want.
    I do remember that originally there was only one windows open for display properties until I did something (???) and then there was 2 windows. One for the internal screen and one for the external. From there it was a piece of cake. Set different res and refresh rates (external is a older CRT).

  • Iphone photo library to macbook.

    i cant seem to get photos off my iphone, to my macbook. i can get the camera roll ones off, theres like 14 of them, but my photo library, theres like 315, from a france trip, and theyre not on my macbook, and id like to have them there as well. any help is appreciated!
    -Ryan

    The only pics that you can take off of the iphone are the ones taken with the iphone.
    Since the iphone is not designed as storage for photos ( just a mirror of the selected albums on your computer), you cannot take other pictures off of the iphone.
    There may be 3rd party software that may allow this. However, since the iphone optimizes resolution/file size for iphone viewing, the pictures would be in lower resolution than the original.

  • HT202664 my iphoto is under an old apple ID, how do I upgrade using my current ID? The current Iphoto is not working after the software upgrade. If I delete the iphoto app will i lose my photo library?

    I have a MacBook pro I recently upgraded to OSX. iPhoto is now not working as it was purchased under an old apple ID and I cant find a way to use my current ID to upgrade it. Also if I delete iPhoto to then repurchase it, will I lose my photo library?

    1. iPhoto won’t run any differently based on the Apple ID it’s associated with, but can only be updated from that one.
    2. No. Back it up anyway.

  • The msg of "Updating photo LIbrary " pop up and it takes about 30 mintues to update

    I ve the iphoto for pad and i have over 10000 photo in it, but..everytime i start using the app, the msg of "Updating photo LIbrary " pops up and it takes about 20 mintues to update....and after the update, anyone facing the same problem?

    Chris,
    I agree with you that it would be nice for iPhoto for iOS to only update the edited photos and the camera roll when updating the photo library. Or perhaps check for other areas quickly and update only new albums. But at present iPhoto seems to look through the entire photo library when updating. If you have numerous photos on your iPad the updating takes longer. You may not agree that that's a good thing but it is the way it is. Having fewer photos will result in shorter update times.
    The time it takes to update the photo library seems based on how many photos you have and not how much space you had on your iPad. We agree that this is not a good thing but again, that's the way it is right now.

  • Can't open my photo library after upgrading to iPhoto 11.  is it possible to load iPhoto 9.0.1 after loading 11?  have followed all other instructions but it still won't let me open iPhoto.

    can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11.  Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11.  Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.

    when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version.  We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
    When we try to open iphoto is says:
    To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
    To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
    We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto. 

  • IMovie '09 Won't Load Photos from iPhoto

    I recently upgraded to iLife '09 at work and at home. My iMac at wok does fine with the up grade but iMovie on my intel based MacBook Pro won't load photos from iPhoto. Anyone else have this problem or can suggest what my problem may be? My software is up to date and other programs are working OK.

    Hello, i have also had the same issue. Basically when i click on the photo icon in imovie 09 the library doesn't show,it's just blank but also my itunes library isn't showing up either. The only way i can get photos and music into imovie is by dragging them into imovie but thats not the way the program is meant to work and would also like to fix this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I turned off iCloud Photo Library and switched it back on, and now it says my photos won't fit on my Mac.

    I migrated my iPhoto Library to the new Photos app with no problem, and when it finished migrating, I switched on iCloud Photo Library, again with no problem. My entire photo library uploaded, and I chose to keep the originals stored on my Mac.
    This all went according to plan, but I just switched iCloud Photo Library off, and then on again, and now it says that the "full-resolution photos and videos stored in iCloud will not fit on this Mac." This is can't be the case, because the full-resolution files are already on my mac, that's where they came from before I even uploaded them to the cloud. It seems like it's trying to download them all again, without recognizing that the same photos that are in the cloud, are already on my Mac.
    Any advice on how I can solve this?

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.

  • IPhoto won't load my library, it just crashes

    If anyone can help me with this I would be very grateful.
    I recently backed up my iPhoto folder, which was running version 5. I then nuked my computer, and installed Tiger from scratch. Then I installed iLife, updated it using Software Update. I then moved my the "iPhoto Library" into the Pictures folder, and launched iPhoto. iPhoto told me that it needs to upgrade my library from a previous version. So I've tried that. It processes stuff for about 10 seconds, then iPhoto crashes.
    I've tried everything I can think of. Trashed preferences. Deleted iPhoto completely and reinstalled. Tried using as a brand new user. Made a blank iPhoto Library folder and slowly added folders and files to it from the old backed up iPhoto Library. If anyone of you is a super-geek, here's what the crash report says:
    http://people.whitman.edu/~sprungde/iPhotoCrash.txt
    I'm really stuck. It's taken me a long time to develop my iPhoto library, which I use here at work. I really don't want to lose all that organizational work. Does anybody have any ideas? I read the other "crash" posts and none of them quite fit my situation...
    Thanks in adavance,
    David

    Congrats to Lois.
    Meanwhile, I've spent several hours trying some other stuff. For fun, I installed iPhoto 4. That didn't work either... at first. I also tried experimenting with removing the album XML file, as well as the "Albums" folder (this may be a hold over from the iPhoto 4 days?). I got to a point, while messing with these files, that iPhoto would actually load my library, but like Lois, it was full of blank grey squares, and not my photos.
    My coworker made a google discovery that if you hold down Command(Apple) + Option in iPhoto 5, you can force iPhoto to try to rebuild your photo library. But then I would still get the "Upgrade or Quit" message, and the Upgrade option would crash iPhoto. My coworker also helped me with this little Unix command, which you run from the Terminal:
    sudo fs_usage | grep iPhoto
    Make sure iPhoto isn't running before you type this in, and then once you start iPhoto, you'll get a huge list of what iPhoto is trying to do with your system. I've posted my results here: http://people.whitman.edu/~sprungde/Terminal-Output-iPhoto.txt
    Note that when it's done, you need to push control + C to quit that Unix process (or whatever it's called).
    What this report from the Terminal suggests is that right before it crashes, iPhoto seems to be doing something QuickTime-related. Is that the problem? I don't know, but I'm running Quicktime 7.0.3, and Apple just yesterday released an installer that lets you downgrade from 7.0.3 to 7.0.1, here's that link: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime701reinstallerforquicktime703.ht ml . Why has Apple released this? Don't know. Is it connected to my problem? Don't know yet either.
    As it turns out, though, you can try that Library Rebuild trick in iPhoto 4 as well. The key command is Command(Apple) + Option + Shift. Now, I'm positive that on my previous machine, I was running iPhoto 5. But I have been using/upgrading iPhoto since it was first introduced, and a google source suggests that iPhoto 4 was less cranky about corruptions in the Library than iPhoto 5 is...
    Anyway, I ran the Library Rebuild trick with iPhoto 4. It worked on it for a long time, then crashed. I relaunched, and... there were all my photos and albums! But wait, it's not time to cheer yet. I then ran iPhoto 5. It actually upgraded my Library, but...
    It didn't quite work. It's riddled with problems. Some of my albums are completely empty. Every single picture has been squished into a square shaped thumbnail. A chunk-- I don't know how large yet-- of my pictures are just flat out missing. Pushing the edit button yields... nothing. Just a blank space where the picture should be.
    By the way, I also called Apple. The nice tech support guy was sympathetic, but basically said that I would be able to manually drag all of my folders (in all those freakin' folders iPhoto creates in its Library) into iPhoto if I let iPhoto create a brand new, empty library... and of course the key thing is that I would lose all my albums, which for me is the whole point.
    So, where does that leave me? Maybe I can experiment with downgrading Quicktime. Other than that, does anybody have any ideas? Thank God I have never fully committed to iPhoto for managing my assets. Let this be a warning to you all.
