The photos app hung while trying to import  48 new pictures.  Can close the app nor shutdown OSx - what to do?

Photos app hung when trying to import 48 new pictures from iPhone.
After 2 hours of no results, I clicked to "stop import" and the app did not stop nor will it close.
Get little window that says "closing the library" when I try to quit.  Now been another 2 hours since stop import.
App is using 0 CPU cycles when checked in activity monitor.
Cannot shut down OS X as Photos is preventing/canceling the shut down/
What to do?
p.s.  I was able to relaunch and import the new Photos to iPhoto since my last synch.  Need to free space on my iPhone since all of the apps have updates with iWatch support enable and that are now taking significant addition space on the iPhone.

Since you cannot even shutdown the system, try to quit Photos from the Terminal.
Launch the Terminal.app from the folder Applications > Utilities.
Copy and paste this command into the Terminal window:
killall iPhoto
If this will also not terminate iPhoto, try this modification:
killall iPhoto -KILL
The "kill" command sends a signal to the process to be terminated. Without a signal name as parameter, it is the "TERM" signal, the same as "Force Quit" will send. This request can be ignored. The "KILL" signal is the ultimate killer, it is not catchable and cannot be ignored.
KILL (non-catchable, non-ignorable kill)

  • Keychain access keeps crashing while trying to import a new certificate

    I have been having trouble with trying to import a certificate to my Macbook Pro but everytime I go to Import the certificate via: File --> Import... Keychain access keeps crashing on me. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

    Hi Moving Art,
    Please provide the exact version of Premiere Pro CC that you are using, you can check this by going to Premiere Pro menu. Also, this type of crash might be because of the Graphics display drivers. So, please check the Graphics Card installed on your MAC and the version of the MAC that you are using.

    what version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.8 as you state correct for the OS? Has it ever worked? What has changed since it worked? Will Image Capture  ( in your applications folder) import the photos? How are you importing - USB to the camera? USB card reader? built in card reader?
    Any other clues that would help a total stranger who can not see you or your computer assist you?

  • I keep getting an error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space.  What does this mean?

    I keep getting this error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: "Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space."  What does this mean?

    Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.

    I have been using Lightroom 4.4 successfully for over 2 years.  Just tried to import some new photos after a vacation and the application crashes when I click "import" every time.  Tried restarting computer.  Version says it is up to date.
    How do I get formal support for this from Adobe?

    Thanks for the response.  The application was crashing.  A Windows message was displayed showing "Lightroom.exe has stopped working", "Windows can check online for a solution the problem.". Etc.
    I just launched Lightroom to check the exact message for this reply - and the Import worked.  It had failed dozens of times before.

    I have found a work around to this error message. I always found that when importing a CD it loaded the first track and could not do the rest. So I now import each track individually. The important thing to do is to make sure you stop the previously imported track from playing then the next track will import. It cannot play and import at the same time. To import a track highlight it by left clicking on it and then hold and drag it onto the music icon in the library. Once imported it will start to play. Stop it playing and then repeat the above for the next track. As long as you stop the track playing you can import. Takes longer, but at least you can get the CDs imported one track at a time. (Trust these instructions makes sense.)

  • Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space.

    Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space. Can someone please help?

    To add to Nick's comments, "Other" is typically approximately 1 gigabyte.  Occasionally for some users, it gets much (many times) bigger because they have some corrupt files.  If that's the case, it's best to restore the iPhone.
    Plug the iPhone into (current) iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" on the right.  If restoring from the iPhone backup does not help, then restore (again) as new and then manaully sync the iPhone.

  • I'm trying to import a new cd, but when I load it in, iTunes shuffles the track listing.  What the heck?!

    I'm trying to import a new cd, but when I load it in, iTunes shuffles the track order.  What the heck?!

    If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours.  You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method.  But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

    Hello,

    My tips.
    1. DID you tried to Not apply the UDO/UDF things?
    2. Do not log in to the database, start from
    3. Please post the error message itself....
    4. If you are running on MS SQL 2005 server (not express) , You can start SQL profiler, and monitor the New Database creation.... you will see in profielr where is the error message and which tables / data is missing.
    If i know well,
    When you create a new company, the SBO-COMMON database is used to deploy the new database....
    If you get stock, reinstall your sbo-common from the last applyied patch..... (Detach SBO-common, move the files another directory, and start upgarder.exe).
