Slow access to photos -  iPhoto7.1.5 on OSX 10.9.1.

I have iPhoto 7.1.5 running on OSX 10.9.1. It seems to be very slow to access photos now (I have about 7000 photos) , do I need an upgrade or something else?

iPhoto 7 is no longer supported by the Apple Print stores so you won't be able to purchase anything from them with iPhoto 7.  It is 3 generations behind the current version. There have been many changes since.  Because you have Mavericks I suggest you purchase the latest version, 9.5.1.
You will have to download and run the  iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before you can open it with iPhoto 9.5.1.

  • Slow access of photos from Media Browser

    I have a computer with a small iPhoto library. Under 800 photos. iPhoto launches quickly, and effortlessly. iWeb launches easily, but when I try to access the Photos from the Media brownser...things bog down. The spinning ball goes for a couple minutes, before showing me the photos, and regaining control of iWeb. This slowness happens also from Garage Band (when accesing photos via the Media brownser). I rebuilt my iPhoto library database, but this didn't help. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Thanks John and Jim,
    Here's an update. I did not have iPhoto opened when launching iWeb. And the iMac Intel 20" has 1gig RAM.
    I first rebuilt the database in iPhoto...no help. I called applecare, and then first had me rebuilt the database (no help again). Then we created a new user, and the new user worked fine...no sluggishness in Media Browser. So we went back to the ailing user and removed the iPhoto prefs (no help)....then we removed ALL prefs (no help)...then they had me remove the entire user Library....and still no help. At this point, the 2nd level tech support said they didn't know the answer yet...and they are referring it to Engineering...and I should hear back in 2-3 days. I'm guessing they will have me backup, reformat, and reinstall from scratch...but we'll see.
    Thanks for your interest...

  • Slow Access to NSS326 by Mac

    We have two brand new iMac with Mac OS X (10.6.8). They have 4GB and 8GB RAM for each. When they access to  the folders on the NSS3226, finder responds very slowly. Displaying files in a folder, expecially, if it has a lot of photos, takes very long. Creating a new folder and moving files also take so long.
    On the otherhand, Windows 7 users in the same network have no problem on browsing the server.
    Is it a common issue on Mac users? Is there any way to solve for them? May I have some advices?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I haven't seen any cases with MAC OS X having problems accessing shares/directories with an extending amount of time. I did see once a customer was using index, which was a task running causing his access of the directories extremely slow. This was a Windows PC, hadn’t seen any reports of slow access via MAC users.
    Might want to see how your MAC’s attempting to access the NSS326, and or enable AFP.
    Thanks,

  • Help with Slow access or NAT to Inside Interface on ASA 9.1

    I am hoping someone can help me figure this out, I did this on the PIX and it worked like a charm, but I am having some difficulty translating the configuration to an ASA.
    In the PIX I performed NAT on outside traffic to a specific inside host (web server) to map to the inside interface so that return traffic would go to the same firewall the traffic came in through, The reason for this configuration was because the gateway of last resort was a different firewall and not the firewall the traffic came in through.
    Now to further give you some history, the gateway of last resort is an ASA running 9.1 (Now), prior to that it was a PIX with v8.0(4), traffic to the aforementioned web server came in through the gateway of last resort), which at the time was the PIX.
    However, for some reason after swapping the PIX for an ASA (same rules, updated NAT rules for 9.1) access to the same web server is slow. Not sure why, but it’s the case. To alleviate the slowness we experienced, and until I can figure out why this occurs on the ASA, I placed a PIX on the network that only listens for traffic for the web server in question. On this PIX I map to the inside interface so that traffic flow works and external clients can access the web server with no issues.
    So two questions, one I would like to use the configuration I have for the web server on the PIX on the ASA to see if that setup on the ASA works better, but having difficulty translating the rules to the ASA.
    Second question, has anyone experienced this type of issue (Slow access with ASA to a web server, but fast with PIX to the same web server)?
    Attached a diagram of what I am currently doing?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    P.S. Addresses in attached picture config are not real, but I know what they translate to.

    Hi,
    To me you it would seem that you are looking for a NAT configurations something like this
    object network SERVER-PUBLIC
    host 197.162.127.6
    object network SERVER-LOCAL
    host 10.0.1.25
    nat (outside,inside) source dynamic any interface destination static SERVER-PUBLIC SERVER-LOCAL
    It will do a NAT for both the source and destination address in a single NAT configurations. It defines that a Dynamic PAT to the "inside" interface will be done for "any" traffic entering from the "outside" WHEN the destination is the SERVER-PUBLIC IP address. Naturally the SERVER-PUBLIC will untranslated to the SERVER-LOCAL in the process as this configuration handles 2 translations.
    I dont know if this changes the situation at all but it should be the configuration format to handle the translation of external host to the internal interface IP address and only apply when this single public IP address is conserned.
    Hope this helps

  • I copied a lot of photos from an iphone to a DVD using a Windows 7 laptop, now I cannot access those photos on the DVD. HELP!

    I copied a lot of photos from an iphone to a DVD using a Windows 7 laptop, now I cannot access those photos on the DVD. HELP! In Windows Exlporer I can see the data on the disk in the details but when I click on it nothing appears as if there is nothing on it.

    It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • I can't access my photos in camera roll.

    I can't access my photos in camera roll. It just shows blank boxes instead of the images. When I click 'edit', I can see the image but it won't save, email, sms or anything. If I click on a video, it kicks me out back to home screen. Any ideas what to do?

    I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
    I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

  • Can't access any photos, Camera Roll sends me to home screen?

    Yesterday I took over 100 photos on my phone for work.  After returning to the office and attempting to sync them to the cloud the process froze and never completed.
    Afterward I am unable to view any of the photos in the Camera Roll.  Each time I click on Camera Roll it sends me back to the home screen.  If I take another picture it sends me back to the homescreen after the photo is taken.  Plugging the phone into the computer does not allow me to access the photos either, it doesnt show them as being available and I cannot transfer them to my computer in any way.
    Any suggestions?

    After posting my question I found a topic with the exact same problem, unfortunately the solution was to restore the phone...this is not the solution I was hoping for as I cannot lose all the photos I've taken.  Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  For reference I've included the other link below.

  • Updated to firefox 4.0. since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website.

    Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
    Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
    Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
    Thank You,
    Dennis

  • How can I easily access my photos from outside iPhoto?

    My wife recently got a Mac for the first time and imported all of her photos into iPhoto. Today she was trying to upload some photos to a community website. The website had a Browse button that opened a Finder window. We were quite surprised to find that there was no easy way to access her photos. It seems like they are all in one big 100GB database file. We can "open" that file and in a Master subarea we can find the photos arranged by the date of import.
    Is there a way to easily access photos, and find the ones we want? On Windows here photos were just kept in the file system with Albums correspondiong to directories and both Picasa and Windows Live Photo Gallery worked fine with this approach, and it was trivial to find a photo from the explorer.

    Is there a way to easily access photos, and find the ones we want?
    Absolutely
    Under the media heading in the lower left of the browse window click on Photos  ==> iPhoto and you events/albums/etc from iPhoto will be there - not sure how much easier it could be

    Known bug.  Quit the Camera App, double-tap the home key and delete Camera from the recent apps bar. Fire it up again, should be good.

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
    But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
    Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while

    There isn't really a way to "save" photos to iCloud currently with non-beta software.
    iCloud is involved with photos in 2 ways -- backup and Photo Stream.
    Backup of an iOS device includes Camera Roll photos but they cannot be viewed at iCloud.com -- the backup can only be used when doing a restore of an iOS device.
    Photo Stream photos also cannot be viewed at iCloud.com; Photo Stream is designed as a method of transferring photos from one device to another and is not designed to store the photos. More info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    There is a new feature -- "iCloud Photo Library" -- coming sometime after the iOS 8 release next week: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/12/apple-demotes-icloud-photo-library-beta/

  • When I forgot my password for home screen and it disabled my iPod, i had to reset my iPod. My iCloud had saved all of my data such as photos in storage or something. But I do not know how to access these photos. Any ideas?

    How do i access my photos that were saved in icloud storage from before i had to reset everything. I know the photos can still somehow be accessed because icloud showed that space was being taken up for photos straight after i had reset the device and there were no photos there on the device at the time. So any ideas on how to access these photos from icloud? Any help very much appreciated, thanks.

  • Lightroom 5 is quite slow in importing photos

    Lightroom 5 is quite slow in importing photos from a memory card connected to a reader using USB 3.0! After installing LR5, I didn't change any default settings. Interestingly, this wasn't found in beta testing. LR4 was what I call quick or snappy. Because of LR5's slow performance, I went back to LR4 after paying for the Cloud subscription.
    With substantial difficulty and after some time passed, I eventually was able to speak to Support which offered no fix for this issue. I hope that it can be resolved soon.

    Selecting the Import from below in Files does help speed up the start of the Import as mentioned in the thread you referred to but is still maybe three or so times slower than in LR4. At least it makes using LR5 more bearable.
    Thanks.
