Why does iPhoto crash ALL THE &(#! TIME?

I am running Tiger and iPhoto 5.0.2. I had prayed that Tiger would solve iPhoto's instability problems. No luck.
I have 8306 photos taking up 21.4 GB in iPhoto. It crashes about every 5 minutes. Literally. It is almost unusable. I will create a few new folders, put a few new albums in them then CRASH! I open it re-open iPhoto, repeat the steps, CRASH. I then start editing pictures. Nothing much, just rename them, etc. CRASH! I reopen iPhoto and have to redo all my edits again. Why is this app so bad? Honestly, it is embarrassing.
I am running a Powermac 2Ghz dualie with 2.5GB of RAM.

I wish they'd just build in an upfront loader for iPhoto which would present us with a menu of iPhoto libraries and ask us which one to load. Of course that upfront loader would have to include the option to create and name a new library.
That way the program wouldn't have to be rewritten in its entirety. Once we'd picked the user-created library we wanted to work with [or created a new one] iPhoto would load and recognize it as if it were the one and only iPhoto library. We could limit our libraries to, say, a thousand manageable pictures and we could actually load our pictures into our libraries by subject ands/or theme/project/etc.
But then, as my nan used to say: "If wishers were horses, beggars would ride."

Why does Dreamweaver crash all the time, hang all the time and work so slow.

Why why why why why can't Adobe make a simple program that works. I hate Dreamweaver. I'm switching to Transmit. At least it works. Dreamweaver is garbage. Adobe seems to think that if they prettify a program with new splash screens and tutorials that people will buy it. But I already know how to work this useless piece of junk and I don't want to learn how to use it more as the more I use it the angrier I get. And as for tutorials if they'd just organize them and put their links in one spot they'd do every user a favor. I'm sick of looking for information about their useless programs only to find that the onlly resouorce is a tutorial on Lynda.com that's five years old. There are dozens of programs that Adobe makes (and has probably forgotten about) that don't have any manuals and those that have manuals have information that is inadequate or out of date.
I live for the day when a well-organized company buys out Adobe and runs it properly or when it finally gets broken up by whatever anti-monopoly organization their is so there is real competition for new customers and an incentive to create good programs.
Adobe you can go straight to hell.
Have nice day

Well I hope I didn't ruin your day. I have actually talked to Adobe about this problem but they don't listen. I've had service support people on the phone for hours, unable to solve anything and my inquiries have been 'escalated' to the level of software engineers who allegedly wrote the program. They have responded, weeks later, that they were aware of the problem but unable to reproduce it. I'm not the only person who has complained about Dreamweaver or about Adobe's lack of information about its own products. Try, for example, learning about Edge Animate. You can't. There is no manual and what online help is available is sketchy and inaccurate. Even books about the program are inaccurate and Lynda.com tutorials are too old to be of any use. There are some great people on Adobe's forums who have helped me in the past, but what kind of company relies on users to do their job for them? That's like Chevrolet telling you to ask another owner how to change a tire. Adobe even advertises its forums as a pool of 'experts' as if we are all highly trained specialists just waiting to solve your problems. I think people who solve queries online should get paid.
As I said earlier, Adobe is an ugly dirty monopoly and it should be broken up so there is some real competition.
End of rant.

Why Adobe Bridge crashes all the time ...

Why Adobe Bridge crashes all the time and despite sending incident report to Apple, I have no answer any more than I can find explanations on the Adobe site. Ma Bridge version is associated with Photoshop elements 4.0 2006 I just reinstalled without success: always lock it. I expect Adobe help. I also have a version of Phoshop CS 2004.
Thank you Bernard Bardinet

Hi Bernard,
The version of Photoshop and Bridge you are using is way too old.
What MAC OS version are you uisng?

After I Repair The Permissions On My Mac Pro, Then I Verify The Permissions And They Have To Be Repaired Again And Again. Why Does This Happen All The Time. Please Reply, James

Hi,
After I Repair The Permissions On My Mac Pro, Then I Verify The Permissions And They Have To Be Repaired Again And Again.
Why Does This Happen All The Time.
Please Reply,
James

As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:

d = directory
r = read
w = write
x = executeable program

Iphoto crashing all the time

Hi guys, my dad has got a problem with his new Imac, he's had it about a month or so now and since upgrading some of the software the other day it has been playing silly buggers!!
Firstly after the upgrades Safari, itunes and Iphoto stopped working. I managed to solve the problems of safari and itunes by installing some more updates that were available. The iphoto problem was solved by re-installing the application. All seemed to be working well, however i am still coming across another issue with iphoto.
Once the program is open and you try to print a picture it comes up with this error message:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x00000000000024
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
I can post full crash details if needs be, any ideas???

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

Satellite L655-1EM - why does LED flash all the time?

I bought a Toshiba Satellite L655-1EM this afternoon, and since I've had it on one of the LEDs won't stop flashing.
It's the one next to a short fat cylinder.
Any help would be much appreciated, I even turned everything off and it still flashed!
My old laptop didn't do this.
The LED is really bright so it's very noticeable, and it even flashes in hibernate mode!

Every time when some info must be read from HDD the LED will blink and show HDD activity.
I cannot understand why do you wondering when HDD blinks. It is logic that from time to time something will be read or written on HDD, even if you dont do anything.
Do you know how many background processes run on your notebook?
Please dont make big thing with this. It is nothing unusual and quite normal.

HT201270 Why does it update ALL THE TIME?

I keep getting told that there is a settings update and I keep accepting it. It doesn't seem to do anything and I get the same message time after time.
How do I stop it?

Try connecting your iPhone to your computer and opening iTunes, maybe there is a carrier settings update available.

Its crashing all the time!

I dont know why, but its crashing all the time, no matter what movie i try. Whats going on...

there's a few things you can try. the prefs wont do much because if you are using any "computer plus" or qmaster you will neeed to do the follows to clean compressor.app a bit... so try this..
if compressor can be launched then "stop any sharing" that is active (startup prompt) or use compressor.app menu/Apple qmaster/ "share the computer" and stop any sharing.
quit compressor.app then
remove (delete) the ~/Library/Application Support/Apple Qmaster/ in your HOME directory (if it exists) (use the FInder) or use the rm -rv ~/Library/Application Support/Apple Qmaster unix command in the terminal.app
remove the ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor/ in your HOME directory (if it exists) (use the FInder) or use the rm -rv ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor unix command in the terminal.app. This will certainly remove any presets or destinations you had set in compressor. You could also just move this library
restart compressor.app
set up your prefs etc and destinations for a basic test
do a basic test using "this computer' then "computer plus" then Qmaster cluster if you need.
Compressor.app will recreate these directories.
Most times any errors are logged in the logs that you can get from the console.app or the "share monitor" logs.
Also please take the time to carefully seach these forums, the COW forums and google in general. Many people have isssues like this. Many are simple to fix and in many cases relate to permissions and access not being correct and other access issues.

Anyone know the reason why app store in iOS 6 is crashing all the time?

Anyone know the reason why app store in iOS 6 is crashing all the time?
Tried everything. Reset my iPod touch to fresh version of iOS 6 and still issues. I believe that there is a bug.
APPLE: please FIX ALL THE BUGS IN IOS 6!!!!!! Please do it fast!!!

I am having the same problem, but I think I might know what's causing it. I just updated my girlfriend's iPhone 4S (same phone as mine) to iOS 6 and was surprised to find that her app store is working just fine. When I opened hers, however, I did notice that the "Categories" and "Top 25" buttons are totally different; and those happen to be the two buttons that are not working for me. Mine shows the same that yours does, while hers has the "Genius" and "Charts" buttons in the place of the two that are not functioning for me. I believe these old buttons are no longer active and therefor are bombing out when attempting to access them.
Now I said I think I may understand the problem, but unfortunately I have no idea what the solution may be. Hopefully this tread doesn't fade away and our problem gets addressed.

My iphone 5 keeps crashing all the time and has a delay of about 3 seconds when doing anything on it i did a factory restore on it but it didnt fix the problem

my iphone 5 keeps crashing all the time and has a delay of about 3 seconds when doing anything on it i did a factory restore on it but it didnt fix the problem i went to optus to see if they could help me as my phone is through them but they knew nothing i need help please my phone is only 8 months old

Plug the device into a wall outlet and leave it for about 20 minutes. If it has not powered on at that point try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for about 15 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

Is it on your Log-In items?
Do you have a disk or device formatted like a camera card attched to your computer - say with a FAT format?

Illustrator CC 2014 crashes all the time after installing Yosemite 10.10 - why?

Hi there,
as said above my IA crashes all the time.
I am working with Creative Cloud and latest OSX version (Yosemite 10.10). A few days ago I chatted with a team member of Adobe but all recommended was to install a complete new Admin on my MacBook Pro. That would take me almost two days to install and configure all my stuff from the scratch.
Illustrator crashes when ...
I open a ai-file from InDesign to edit it. The splash screen loads but then this appears
It's german, but you all know what it says: "Unexpected failure - ignore / try again / send to apple" If you click on "Send to apple" it loks like this:
I sent it a thousand times to Apple, but haven't heard anything yet.
I open IA regular from the dock
splash screen appears
everything's fine till you click anything (e.g. CMD+N)
then it crashes immediately
What I already did
reinstall IA
reinstall complete suite
cleaned all folders belonging to Adobe
start in safe mode
Thanks for reading all this stuff.
Hopefully anyone has an idea what I can do.
Wisdom of the crowd - here we go.
Best,
Janina

Dear adobe & community,
only a few weeks later - it crashes again...
Yosemite 10.10.2
AI latest version
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13", 2013)
I read all support tickets. I checked if there is a drivers for my Wacom (nope). I installed a new admin (AI crashes as well). I updated Java again (no help)
I have no idea what to do.
This is what happening:
- I click on the AI icon
- AI opens with the welcome screen
- Yosemite 10.10.2 / AI newest version (Creative Cloud)
- whatever I click there it crashes and comes up with the following error message (sorry in advance for all the code)
