Well I have been at this for 3 days trying to get Iphoto to load.  I have uninstalled, installed over and over again the ILife. Today I even downloaded Iphoto for 15 dollars from the App Store. I am running version 10.7.2 on my IMAC. Please please please can someone help get my Iphoto up and running.  Thanks!

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?

    I tries and it doesnt work!!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • Help everytime I shut down or restart my computer my internet service goes out!!!

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion Intel Core Quad
    its Windows 7 and my internet service provider is Time Warner.
    It is not a wireless connection.
    For a few days now everytime I shut down or restart my computer my internet service goes out and I am unable to access the intenet. I get the error message "unidentified network no internet access"  I do not even want to shut off my computer for fear of losing the internet access. The most recent time this has happened I called my ISP to reset my connection. I have never had to do this before so I am not sure whay is going on?
    Anyone have any insight or ideas to fix this?

    Your PC won't automatically choose a public network since your PC is not autonomous.   
    If you are using  wired CAT5 connection, then your network is whatever internal adress the internet modem or router has provided. If the only thing your PC is connected to is your Time Warner router then the identified network comes from the router.

  • Often i try open firefox but I ge a message saying it's already running to wait until it shuts down or restart my computer??

    for example I've closed Firefox earlier, but when I go to re open it I get the message that it is running

    This has happened to me a couple of times many months ago. I either kill the task using task manager; or I just re-boot my pc. sometimes just best to completely shut down your pc, unplug the power for a few minutes, and restart. If you're like me and leave your pc in sleep mode for days or weeks at a time, a lot build up, which may cause some programs to hand for quite a while.

  • I cannot quit iPhoto, shut down or restart my computer.

    I'm reluctant to force quite because I don't want to lose any photos. Can I do this without losing data? Or is there another solution?

    Actually Force quitting is dangerous and may cause library corruption and should be used as a last result - any idea why you can not quit? What strange happened? What did you just do? any other information? How long has it been impossible to quit?
    Force quit may be required but best to explore first

    Have you tried rebuilding as the message suggests? Otherwise you need to remember that we can't see your machine and so haven't a clue what you're asking.

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.rds.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf

  • My aperture program keeps freezing up and my computer battery died but after plugging in and restarting now aperture won't open at all

    Why wont my aperture open ???? Working on a clients project and need it ASAP. pLEASE HELP!!!!

    If you need to reboot after updating then this usually means that files were in use and couldn't be updated.<br />
    A possible candidate is in such cases is security software.
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
    You can also try to login as Administrator or possibly run Firefox once as Administrator via the right-click context menu.

  • Not displaying link under "you can also" of uwl iview

    Hi All,
    The tasks which are getting into the inbox of manager are from "Negotiable internal charge workflow" (from FI backend sys) . when the manager selects the task, the preview of the task is displaying in the details area. in the details area, by default "view history" is displaying under "you can also".
    now my requirement is i want to add one more link under "you can also". If the manager clicks on the link, it must display the log of current workitem which must be triggered from backend with transaction FV53.
    everything is set in the backend system and teh link is displaying in the backend too but in portal, it is not displaying. How can i configure in portal to display the link under "you can also".
    pls post your answers. I posted this question earlier but didn't get any response for this.
    regards,
    vila.

    Hi Vila,
    That means ur requirement is to modify the UI of the UWL  default view of ur itemtype(Task).
    What u can do is that u download the uwl.xml file and add the new action as link.
    Simply add this action into ur default view. Try putting it after the "view history" action.
    Revert back in case of issues.
    I hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Sumit
