TS2551 I photo will not respond, it comes up but the cursor spins, and nothing else happens

Iphoto will not respond, it comes up the then the cursor spins, and then will not work.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
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. More information means you get better assistance.

    Hey there mello12,
    It sounds like you are not able to turn on your phone. You should use these steps in the following article to help resolve it, or setup service if needed:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • After I updated to ios5 my calendar did not bring in dates and when I began re-entering dates after one or two it froze up and after I got it going again it will not populate an end time on the same date and will not save the appointment as a consequence.

    After I updated my Ipad2 to IOS5 my calendar lost all appointments.  After re-entering a couple of appointments it froze.  After getting it going again, the calendar will not populate an end date for the current day and consequently I can't save the appointment.  Is this a common problem as I have just purchased this ipad and the calendar function is very important to me.

    Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/

  • Help! After interrupting an installation of a program downloaded from the internet on my mac in a reboot cycle will not start, I've already done the disk check and it's ok and I reinstalled the OS 10.8 Lion

    After interrupting an installation of a program downloaded from the internet on my mac in a reboot cycle will not start, I've already done the disk check and it's ok and I reinstalled the OS 10.8 Lion

    In this case, I think that there's something damaged that can't be fixed just reinstalling OS X.
    If you don't want to lose files, you will have to create a second partition in the hard drive and install OS X there, so you will be able to recover everything you need. Then, you will have to erase the first partition and reinstall OS X. Follow these steps:
    1. Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
    2. You can follow the steps of this site to create a second partition > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
    3. After creating the second partition, close Disk Utility and install OS X on the second partition.
    4. When the installation finishes, open Finder and, in the sidebar, you will see the other partition. Open it and recover the files you need.
    5. After doing that, repeat the step 1.
    6. Select “Macintosh HD” in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    7. Close Disk Utility and install OS X on the first partition.
    After doing all of these steps (you will need a lot of time to do this), you can delete the second partition you created and add the size of this partition into the first one > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU4.html

  • My autofill stopped working recently.  I looked under preferences and all the necessary boxes are checked.  When I start to fill out a form, the autofill box comes up, but when I click on it, it turns blue and nothing else happens.

    my autofill stopped working recently.  I looked under preferences and all the necessary boxes are checked.  When I start to fill out a form, the autofill box comes up, but when I click on it, it turns blue and nothing else happens.

    Back up all data, then test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    1. Press the down-arrow key. (Credit to ASC member iNeight.)
    2. Quit and relaunch Safari. Force quit if necessary.
    3. Click in the first field to be filled, and then select
    Edit ▹ AutoFill Form
    from the menu bar. You may have to reload the page in order to do this.
    4.  Select
    Contacts ▹ Preferences ▹ vCard
    and uncheck the box marked
    Enable private me card

    If the box was already checked, uncheck it and then check it again.
    7. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.

  • I-Pod touch only gives me the Apple symbol and will not respond to anything tried, including the "restore" method. Any clues? Thanks

    I-Pod touch will not respond. I tried to "restore" it through I-Tunes and update which took nearly two hours, but it still only gives me the Apple symbol and does nothing else whatsoever. It seems completely locked up. Any help? thanks much!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My photo stream will not populate on my pc but the shared albums do

    My photo stream (pc) will not populate.  The shared albums (in the same iCloud Photos folder) populate with no problem.  What's the fix?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you plug your device in by USB to your computer, you should only expect to be able to import photos from the camera roll.
    Photos from the photo stream album will only sync when photo stream is properly set up within iPhoto, you don't need to use a USB cable for this to happen.
    Check that iPhoto is up to date and that photo stream is enabled in the iCloud settings and the iPhoto preferences.

    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Take it apart and verify that you reassembled it correctly. Next take it to someone with more experience.
