Photos App keeps crashing, won´t open and I can´t view my photos anymore

Please HELP! The new Photos App got installed and now everytime I try to open it, it crashes and I don´t know how to solve this!
I used to work with a shared library between iPhoto and Aperture but most of the time I used Aperture, but when I assigned the shared library to the new Photos App, overtime I try to open the app, after 5 seconds it crashes!
I used the Ctrl+Alt thing with the Aperture to keep seeing my photos but as I understand, nothing I do in terms of modifying and updating (adding photos and stuff) the library, it does not update the original library because it is already working with the app that keeps crashing down.
What do I do??? How can I get the Photos App to work?
PLEASE I´M DESPERATE

HI,
Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit. 
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

  • Photo App Keeps Crashing

    I took a picture with the camera app and my phone froze. I rebooted it and now when I open the Photos app it crashes when I open an album. Help!

    I've been having the same problem with my iPhone 4S. I went to an Apple Store last week and they said just to restore the software to a previous backup. This did the trick but last night my Photos app started crashing again (and thus when I take a picture the Camera app crashes because it can't save the picture).
    I have a hunch that the problem has to do with using the camera from the lock screen. Whenever my Photos app has started to crash it's been when I've been using the Camera directly from the lock screen. The Photos app is supposed to block access to you previously taken pictures but I guess if I do it too much it makes the app not work. Did you all have this occur from using the camera from the lock screen too?
    Anyways, you can fix the Photos app by restoring your iPhone to a previous backup that took place before you started having the problem. If you backup your iPhone while it has the problem and then restore your phone with that backup, the app still won't work. I'm going to avoid using my camera from the lock screen from now on, and hopefully Apple will release an update of iOS 5 that will correct this problem. Hope this helps!

  • Why I-Photo would keep Crashing/ Freezing on me and causing me to force quit.

    why I-Photo would keep Crashing/ Freezing on me and causing me to force quit.

    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. .

    If you don't see them on your purchased list, make sure that you are signed in with the Apple ID you used to purchase them in Settings>iTuens & App Store.  Then redownload them by opening the App store app on your phone, tap Updates at the bottom, tap Purchased at the top, then tap Not on this iPhone at the top.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

    Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears
    If that does not improve try a restore

  • How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

    How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?

    Regarding not being able to open iPhoto.  As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
    If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
    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 #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.

  • Photo app keeps crashing on new ipad mini retina

    When clicking on the share button in the photos app it is very, very slow to load. My iPhone 4S loads faster than the new ipad mini then the photo app will crash.
    Any ideas? Is it an ios 7 bug?

    It's probably because you don't have enough storage to add all the photos. This happened to me too last week, but I (finally) figured it out. I have many apps and photos on my iPad, so my storage was low. I deleted a few things, and it worked perfectly fine!! Hope this is the same case for you

  • Camera and Photos app keeps crashing!!!

    I had no problems last week until yesterday...i even did a clean restore but still the camera and photos app tend to crash
    it keeps stating "Please Wait" Updating Library...
    and the bar reaches up to about 30% loading and then crashes....anybody else having these problems on their 3gs?

    This means the answer is no - a clean restore does not mean you restored your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
    All photos and/or video in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone and your iPhone's backup alone for this data in the event your iPhone is lost or stolen and it is not replaced with another iPhone, or there is a hardware problem with your iPhone.
    I always import all photos and videos captured by my iPhone with my computer ASAP as with any other digital camera and as with any other digital camera, I delete the photos and videos from the camera after the import process is complete. This also helps to keep the iPhone's backup time to a minimum, provides me a copy of this data on my computer for viewing along with including this data with my computer's backup along with all other important data, and if I want any of the imported photos and videos available on my iPhone for viewing, I can transfer the photos and videos from my computer to my iPhone via the iTunes sync process as with any other photos/video.
    Try importing the photos/videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll followed by deleting the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If no change after doing so, restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.

  • IOS 8 Photos App keeps crashing...What to do???

    As soon as i open the iOS 8 Camera Roll / Gallery photos app, it just crashes, What could i do to ???

    Try a Restart.  Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.   
    Resetting your settings You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again. 
    Resetting your device Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it. 
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.  
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • HELP: iTunes crashes (won't open), and Apple website crashes Explorer too

    I've had an iPod for years, and have 16G + of music in my library on my old desktop computer. That computer is EXTREMELY slow, however.
    I got an iPhone last week. So since I want more ease of music access, I thought I'd install iTunes on my laptop (which is so much faster), and move my music from my old desktop.
    Last weekend, I only got around to installing iTunes on my laptop, and authorizing that computer so I could download some apps.
    This weekend, I tried to open iTunes on my old desktop computer again, so I could start the process of moving my music library to the laptop. I was surprised to discover that iTunes won't even open anymore, at all. I just get the standard error message, "iTunes 8.0 experienced a problem and had to close." Believe me, I've restarted the computer several times, and it still won't open. I've run Norton, and there are no viruses identified either.
    So, I thought I should go to the Apple website and download the program again. Not possible! Anytime I even try to go to www.apple.com or www.apple.ca or www.itunes.com/downloads, my Explorer browser window crashes. In fact, it crashes any and ALL open browser windows, not just the one that I typed an apple URL into.
    I'm fortunate that can use my laptop to access this apple forum, or I'd really be at a loss.
    Is this happening because I authorized my laptop? It seems more like an evil Apple-hating Microsoft virus somehow...
    What can I possibly do to get my iTunes library (all 16 gigs of it) to my laptop, WITH all my carefully organized playlists, etc?

    Sounds a lot like a virus I had on my desktop..it finally forced me to wipe everything and go with the laptop.
    However you could try to download Firefox, or another browser, and then try to log onto Apple. Maybe its completely an Explorer issue? Cant hurt to try at least. Firefox is quick and free to download.
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
    And no, I am not one of those "Firefox is the answer to everything" people...you could try the new Google Chrome browser as well.

    Good luck..I know how frustrating this is. I hope something works.

  • My iPhoto won't open and I can't download a new app.

    My iPhoto won't open (having upgraded to Yosemite in Janurary 2015). When I try to open it it says that my version is not compatible with Yosemite and that I need to upgrade the app from the app store - but cannot find iPhoto on the app store.
    I also do not have Photos installed, and similarly cannot find it on the app store.
    I would really like to be able to retrieve my iPhoto library - will this be possible?
    I have been backing up to an external hard-drive but don't know how/if I can retrieve my iPhoto from there if iPhoto no longer exists on most mac computers.
    Would appreciate some advice!

    You need to upgrade to 10.10.3 - it's on software update.
    That will give you the new Photos.app.
    It will also be possible to download the up-to-date version of iPhoto:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    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.
