Skype won't display my comments - keeps processing them, endlessly

I have Skype on several of my home computers, but I choose to work on the newest one (with the largest monitor) ... and recently, without provocation or updates, it has become unwilling to post my comments. They remain greyed out, and processing with the little wheel going round and round.
The thing is ... I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, including twice this morning ... and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm installing from the Skype site, so I trust there's no problem there ... but now, I'm out of ideas. What can be causing this?
I've proven that it will tirelessly work at processing my simple 8 word comment for literally days, without success - although there are screens of earlier conversations with this same contact, and all of my other computers are right up to date with our conversational input - as was this one, until recently. And now, although nothing else has changed, it seems to be stuck.
Any ideas????

Thanks very much - it seems that this has done the trick. I'll know better next time I log in, but for now, I'm back up and running ... and will remember to check my status to make sure I'm actually 'online' ... that makes a lot of sense.

Skype won't log out! (lets make them fix this!)

I can't find a valid post for this sort of thing, but it ends here & now.
There is no reason that is acceptable to the users of Skype, that should continue to allow it's program "Skype" to forcibly keep us logged in, be it as online, away or otherwise.
No, it is not acceptable to force us to have to go thru endless solutions to try an fix something that used to work correctly before microsoft took over Skype.
THE PROBLEM - Skype will not log us out & keep us logged out when we close the program on ANY platform.
THE SOLUTION - Microsoft/Skype & it's related staff/teams/coders/etc need to return this function to the way it was, & because of the era of smart phones an some users wanting to keep the silly function most of us hate an want gone, accept this idea additionally. Allow THOSE users the option of clicking their status to forever online, give it in the status menu or even somewhere in options but forcing the majority of us users to have to fight this battle is unacceptable!
Other notes:
[Your label system for making posts doesn't allow the proper tags as I know them to be, so I threw in all the ones you forcibly listed as I couldn't make this post any other way. Fix that crap too skype.]
I'm not going to read this post after this point, me the starting person. This is an effort to try an get the people who manage this program to take notice & do something acceptable to OUR demands NOT what they feel is a solution.
Perhaps a flame war will result, hate for my name, god knows such things are common place when someone tries to do something good, not to mention all the idiots who lack reading comprehension skills an cannot understand the posts as they are written vs what they "want to read".
I hope this gets the ball rolling for the intended solution, the users must rally to this cause or it will never happen, we will continue to be forced to "deal with it" an we shouldn't have to as some of us are CASH PAYING CUSTOMERS! an our demands should be taken more seriously otherwise we can/will/an should take our biz somewhere else as that is the only thing that seems to grab a stupid companies attention.
Have at it guys, make e'm work for the money they think they've earned!
Nothing to see here..

Hi, Waterdust, and welcome to the Community,
THE PROBLEM - Skype will not log us out & keep us logged out when we close the program on ANY platform.
The concept of "closing the program" seems to have changed or evolved with the increasing use of smart phones, combination smartphones and tablets called "phablets," and tablets, which if I recall sales trends correctly, have overtaken laptop and desktop sales. I have been either an observer of or a participant in Skype's on-line Community since approximately 2007-2008, in other words, before the current Community platform was launched in 2011. Over the years, many people have posted about their wish that when they clicked the "X" at the top right of the Skype for Windows software client, or the red dot in the Mac OS environment, that single-click action would a.) close the program, and b.) sign out of Skype.
I prefer the long-standing procedure of the two-step (one more click or tap does not phase me in the least) close and/or quit routine. I appreciated this on my Windows computers and laptops, and now even moreso on my BlackBerry devices (Q10 and Classic), iPhone 6, and iPad. I like the convenience of Skype running in the background while I use the handheld device for other tasks, as well as not having to worry about accidentally signing out of Skype.
Much to so many other posters' chagrin, Skype employed a two-step sign-out and program closure - long before Microsoft or even eBay entered the picture!
There is no reason that is acceptable to the users of Skype, that should continue to allow it's program "Skype" to forcibly keep us logged in, be it as online, away or otherwise.
If I understand correctly, what you are referring to is the "presence" or status setting problems: Online - Away - Invisible - Offline. For the sake of clarification only, this is technically not a problem with keep[ing] us logged in. I refer to this blog article and continuing discussion here: http://community.skype.com/t5/News-and-Announcements/UPDATED-Changes-to-your-Skype-online-status/ba-...
I confirm that when I set my status or presence setting to "Invisible" (or, "Offline") on all instances where I have Skype signed on (first click or tap), and then proceed to sign out (second click or tap) and close the software (third click or tap), I am logged out of the Skype service, and my status of Invisible shows this. I appreciate the status settings resolutions are apparently work-in-progress, and that it seems to have been a long time to settle this.
Looking forward to reading a thoughtful dialogue. Flame-throwing is neither necessary nor in the context of providing constructive feedback. Please, let us all keep this on-line community's Community Guidelines in mind as we continue this discussion.

PDF files won't display. Error message "Missing Plug-ins"

Hello. I am having trouble with adobe reader but only certain files. When I first signed up for school in may Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader were required and when I did the check plug-ins system check, both were installed and running just fine. Just in the past 2 days is the check plug-ins test saying Adobe reader is not installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing but still saying it is not installed. I'm not having troubl with all adobe reader files. I'm an online student and my e-books are opening and displaying just fine. Also my pdf documents saved on my computer are opening just fine. When I try to view a websites brochure, a websites sale paper, or maybe open up an article, the page pops up but the image won't display. It keeps saying "missing Plug-ins". I have a MAC 10.6.8. running on Safari and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.0. I need to be able to open up articles because I'm doing a homework assignment that requires one. If u can help in any way, please do.

I've tried all the fixes listed in the discussions about missing plug-ins in Mail. None of them worked. I can see attachements in the emails, but when I forward them, the missing plug-in shows up in place of the attachments on the forwarded email. I'm running the latest OS 10.7 on my Mac Pro and I just downloaded the latest Java app. HELP!!

Mail Won't Display Messages

Recently, starting May 18th, my mail shows it is receiving messages, but they won't display. I can see them coming into the server, but nothing displays. For example, when I send a test email from my Gmail account to my hosted email account, I can see the message coming in under the "Mail Activity" screen (lower left), but then nothing comes up.
I'm hosting my websites and using my iMac as a mail server.
I've been working on this for days, and nothing has worked. Just to recap:
I've "Rebuilt" every email box multiple times
I've deleted the "Envelope Index" file, and allowed mail to re-import everything
I've deleted all the security certificates from the system, except for the website security certificates, and issued new certificates
I've tried using Firefox Thunderbird for an email client, and I get the same problem
I've deleted all unnecessary emails
I can send email from outside accounts to my server, and it works just fine. No errors, and I can see the message coming in just seconds later.
All email accounts connect and the "Connection Doctor" gives me green lights on everything.
This was a very sudden problem, and I did have 2 updates recently. One for iTunes and one for the Thunderbolt controller. Neither of which should have given me any mail issues.
So what would cause the messages to remain hidden?

The bottom line is, if your server is not properly setup for mail, it just won't work. Obvious really, but the not so obvious is Apple syntax required for a proper server configuration. Such as using "www.yourserver.com" as your FQDN. Of course, this has never been an FQDN, "www" is a Microsoft sub-domain.
Hopefully, Apple will fix this in the future so it's not contrary to Internet industry standards. Currently, this is very confusing and difficult to establish standards because the Apple environment doesn't see Internet domains the way they're established in the industry.

Safari, Mail, iTunes and Skype won't open

Hi there Apple-Support-Team,
a few days ago I did an update of Safari, suggested automatically by Apple, but wasn't sure if the update was successfull (I had to leave the house).
Now all applications with internet connection (Safari, Mail, iTunes, Skype) won't open anymore. Not from the dock or the application folder. I checked my internet connection which seems to be working.
I've seen quite some reports in this forum but I am not sure if I'm having the same trouble as the other users. I get no error reports or anything else, the apps just don't open.
Mac OS X version 10.4.11
Safari 3.0.4
Many thanks
Mexximexx

Welcome to the forums!
Did you restart your Mac after the install?
If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
Safari 4.1.1 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
Safari 5.0.1 for Leopard (and Snow Leopard) can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now Tiger uses Safari 4.1.1 and Leopard uses Safari 5.0.1, as does Snow Leopard albeit a different version. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
• Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required.

Won't display main menu, even after holding on/off and home buttons simultaneously. Can't get beyond "connect to iTunes " which I can't do anyway.

After several days of inactivity iPad won't display main screen. When I first turned in on, it asked for a four digit passcode. I never had a four digit passcode. After entering "incorrect" passcode, it told me I could try again in 60 minutes. That was day one. Since then, it displays "connect to iTunes" which I can't do. I've tried holding on/off and homebuttons simultaneously. "connect to iTunes" keeps coming up. I'm stuck on that commmand.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

HT1339 My ipod won't restore. It keeps coming up with an error message.

My ipod won't restore. It keeps coming up with an error message. that says "The iPod '_____' cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application." How do I fix this?
The only thing that's open is my itunes, so i don't see how anything on my iPod can be in use by another application.
It also does this when I try to eject it, so I end up having to just unplug it instead of ejecting it, which I know is not good.
And if it matters, sometimes I plug in my iPod and it doesn't register on either the iPod or in iTunes that my iPod is plugged in, so sometimes I have to re-plug it in. And my iPod these days will continue to say that it's syncing even though iTunes will say it's finished.
Please help me!

Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting. If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to be locked up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano;

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

Private Photos App - pictures not displaying This app was working fine, then suddenly it won`t display any of the photos.

This app was working fine, then suddenly it won't display any of the photos. One day the photos were there, gone the next. It still shows how many photos are there but just shows a white screen. I can't export anything to the photo album. Adding photos to existing folders yields the same result, only white screen displayed. However, I can create new albums and add photos to those without issue. Does anybody know how to recover the "missing" photo" I was going to try reinstalling the app but it's no longer available in the iTunes App Store. Thanks, Tracy

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
Can anybody help at all?

Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?

DW8: image won't display in Design View

Folks:
DW8 on MacOS 10.4.8 (fully updated) on Intel iMac.
What would keep an image from displaying in DW Design View?
What are the causes of the grey box with the superimposed "X"? Is
there any diagnostic output that might help? Is the grey box and
"X" substituted by DW8 for an invalid or un-drawable graphic, or is
this done by the OS?
The problem:
I've got a 1912 x 1481 graphic, a geographic map, in AI that
I'm trying to use as an ordinary web image, but DW won't display it
in Design View. Instead all I see is a big grey box and "X". For
test purposes, I'm starting from a new "Basic" HTML web page and
all I'm doing is inserting this one image. I need to get this
working so I can draw hotspots on this graphic to make it
"clickable" .
Here's what I've tried:
o Triple-checking that the inserted image reference is
correct. Yes, the image file is correctly linked. With the image
selected, the inspector shows a tiny but recognizable miniature of
the expected image. Further, when the page and the image are
uploaded to the web server and I look at it via a browser, the
expected image is _always correctly displayed.
o Exporting the graphic "for the web" from AI as both a GIF
and a medium-quality JPG. Neither of these are displayed in Design
View; both are served up correctly after being uploaded
o I found a larger JPG on a different site I'm managing. This
always displays as expected in both DW Design View and when served
up. I substituted the failing map JPG image. The result: A grey
box.
o Checking the map images: The JPG and GIF versions seem to
be visible in all environments (image readers, browsers, etc.) I've
checked _except_ DW8 Design View.
o Checked on another system. I made the failing image
available to a very helpful ACE, who performed a similar
experiment. It worked fine for him. I used his exact HTML and
directory structure -- and it failed for me. Grey box with "X".
It seems to me that I've checked most of the obvious
possibilities. Now it is time to check the less obvious ones.
Suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks,
Henry

Randy:
Thanks for your response.
This is a virtual memory system, so -- in theory-- it should
accommodate anything that will fit on the hard drive, more or less,
if I'm wiling to wait the hours (days?) it will take to swap on and
off the disk. That assumes DW8 takes advantage of the capability.
It may not.
"Larger"? The JPG image I compared to is 1692 x 2160 pixels,
but weighs slightly less, 289K bytes. I'm losing track of all my
test images that fail, but a representative one is 1912 x 1481
pixels and weighs 332Kb on the disk. "Roughly comparable" might be
a better description. The point is still reasonable: DW8 does
handle images of this size on my system.
One issue that occurred to me recently is that I may have
caused some grief by monkeying with the "Save for web" settings at
the Illy export. Perhaps I asked for some configuration that's
normal for Illy to export --or it would have warned me, I hope--
but too strange for DW to grok. DW should complain more
informatively than painting a gray box and "X" when that happens, I
would think.

JPG won't display in Image box.

Trying to add a logo in JPG format to the top of the form using the Image control, but it won't display the image nor print it. If I use a GIF file it works fine, but looks horrible. I'm new at this, any ideas?

I finally figured it out after posting another frustrating comment to this thread. I can't take the credit, however, as it was quickly solved by Irv Kanode in another thread. I have copied his exact post below. It solved this issue in seconds:
ADOBE SUPPORT REPLY:
Irv Kanode - 4:15pm May 5, 06 PST (#1 of 2)
Check some of your JPEGs for CMYK vs RGB.
Might the ones that fail be CMYK and the ones that work be RGB?
When images don't work are you seeing a broken image icon or...?

Irv,
Thanks for the reply. The images that didn't work were CMYK. When I converted to RGB they worked.
The images that didn't work were coming up with random grey scale colors.
Thanks again,
Kurt
Hope this helps everyone!

Store won't display search results, tabs dead

Search results in iTunes Stoe (11) won't display all items (i.e. it reads "Total: 301 items" at the bottom of the list but only 16-20 will show up (depending on my luck). This is even true of, for example, a podcast show page itself. When I scroll down, there are empty lines where episode titles should go, but if I go all the way to the end, they suddenly disappear and the "Total: 301 items" jumps to the end of the 16-20 item long list.
Categories within search results won't display either (i.e. I can see the "All," "Books," iTunes U" list on the right side, but clicking on each does nothing).
Going from "Details" to "Ratings and Reviews" also requires clicking the tab and then reloading the page. My connection is fine, this has been happening for at least the last month at home, while out, using wifi and when drectly connected by old timey cables. Updated this morning, still no change.
Help?

This article has some tips
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
(particularly under Troubleshooting on a Mac)
If that does not help... As a test, to narrow down the cause, you may want to create a new user account in System Preferences Users & Groups pane. It can be Standard or Admin. Log out and log in to the new user account (do not use Fast User Switching).
Try running iTunes from the new user account, and accessing the iTunes Store.
If the problem does NOT occur in the new account, the cause is likely to be something in your primary user account. For example, it could be user preferences settings, or something related to your iTunes library, or a background process that runs in your account that is interfering somehow.
If the same problem does occur in the new account, the cause is likely to be related to the overall OS, the iTunes application, or maybe network settings that block access to the iTunes Store.
Either way, you'll be able better focus additional troubleshooting.

Iphoto won't display photo library

I recently upgraded to iPhoto 9.3.2 and to Mountain Lion on my iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
I'm not 100% sure when this problem occured, but now, when I open iPhoto, it won't display any photos. All it shows is a note saying "To get started with iPhoto...etc"
I've tried the following so far:
- repair permissions
- disk repair
- holding down option command when opening iPhoto and choosing repair database and rebuild database (nothing happened on either occasion)
- tried launching earlier versions of iPhoto from my Time Machine back-up: 9.3.1; 9.3; 9.2.3. Got the same problem with each
- tried to import photos. Tried several different ones but always, iPhoto would hang on 'finishing import'
- tried rebuild library in iPhoto Library Manager but I get an error: An error occurred trying to open the database at /Users/MichaelSasha/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Database/apdb/Library.apdb (14)
I also have a Mac Mini and have successfully upgraded to iPhoto 9.3.2 & Mountain Lion and have no problems with photos. I accessed the Mac Mini from the iMac and copied across a photo and tried to import it on the iMac but got the 'finishing import' hanging issue
This is really puzzling me! I've exhausted all the options I can think of. Hoping someone out there has any suggestions.

Did you try restoring an earlier version of you iPhoto Library and see if it would open with iPhoto? If you have with no success then try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and run a new library then the problem lies with your current library. And, since you've tried all of the repair fixes the only option left is:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
