Why does iphoto6 shut down while importing pictures?

This happens when I import IMG_xxxx.jpg pictures from the desktop, documents folder. iPhoto shows the same problem when opening IMG_xxxx.jpg pictures that already exist in the library.
This has been happenning since the latest update to iphoto.
What has gone wrong here?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

Have these photos been edited by Photoshop or Photoshop Elements:

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Why does facebook shut down in safari

my wife has a ipad 1st gen and facebook shuts down while in safari. Is there any way to fix?

Try a SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.

Does the fan seem to be running a lot? Any particular noises?

IPhoto shuts down when importing pictures

For an unknown reason, iPhoto suddenly shuts down when I try to import pictures. I have been using this camera for over two years, so that can't be the problem. I have tried to restart my laptop, but nothing seems to help. Please help, need to mail pictures (that are still on my camera..) to some clients asap...

Is the error you're getting in the permissions repair or disk verify/repair? If it's the latter then boot into your system install disk, and in the first window after the language selection go to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility. Then repair the disk and repeat until it reports no repairs were made. Then repair disk permissions again. Boot back into your PB.
I'd also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. This will definitely force set the access on your library folder and its contents to your complete access. That may help. It's helped others.
Yes. It's possible to reinstall 6.0. If you do, move the iPhoto_602.pkg from your HD/Library/Receipts folder to the desktop. Then delete any other receipt files with iPhoto in the name. That iPhoto_602.pkg file is the 6.0.2 updater if you want to update to that version. Also delete the current application and then run the installer.

Computer shuts down while importing

This doesn’t happen with every song I try to import in iTunes, but let’s say with 2 out of 10 songs, while importing my computer simply shuts down. Just before it dies on me it says something like: Error, disk locked. I just can’t figure out what’s his problem.
Hp Pavilion dv1000 Windows XP

Problem solved for me... I changed the place of my computer which seem to have helped. I think the problem was heat... too much heat and now I can import a full CD without my computer to shut down. If it is not heat, I read that it could be bad memory. if my computer shuts down again, I will check the memory of my computer.

Windows shuts down while importing CDs

Please help!
I purchased my iPod 30 Gig Video about two weeks ago. I have a Windows XP Home SP2 computer. When I’m importing CDs Windows shuts down the computer and dumps the physical memory. This happens when I usually put in the second CD. Here are the specs of my computer:
AMD Athlon XP 2800+
2.08 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
I have a Memorex DVD 16+/-DL4RWD2 DVD/CD-ROM drive
For my virus protection I’m using Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security2006
When the problem first started I uninstalled and reinstalled the iTunes/iPod software. I made sure that all of the previous versions of iTunes and Quicktime were deleted. When I reinstalled I turned off my virus protection.
Lately when I’ve come across this problem I turn off the virus protection thinking that that might have something to do with it.
I have all the current Windows updates and the drivers for all of my hardware is also current. I don’t know if my virus protection is causing many problems (i.e. firewall, etc.) Can someone please help?
Thanks.

Your's isn't a dual processor (or simulated dual processor, aka, hyperthreaded) machine, is it? I and many others have found this problem to occur on such machines (when is Apple going to fix this problem?) Some have found forcing iTunes to run on only one processor to be a successful workaround (there are at least a couple freeware utilities out there (I don't recall their names OTTOMH) that will force a PC app to run on only one processor on multi-processor machines, or you can try, after starting iTunes up, cntr-alt-deleting and selecting Task Manager, then in the list of running apps, right-click on iTunes and choose Go To Process, then right-click on the selected process and select Set Affinity, and uncheck one (or all but one if you happen to have more than two processors) of the boxes) but this didn't work for me: I had to physically remove one of my two processors - I haven't had the problem since, so I'm confident that was (is) the problem in my case. (But I'm still ****** 'cause I very purposefully bought a dual processor machine; it just so happens that right now I'm doing more CD importing than dual core work, so for now it's the best solution for me, but I eagerly await the day I hear that Apple has FIXED THIS PROBLEM!)

TS1363 why does Itunes shut down when I purchase songs.also when trying to download updates it fails to update.I am using windows 8

when I purchase songs Itunes shuts down.also when I try to update I tunes I keep getting an error message that says failed to download

I appreciate your response but not sure now if it could have been anything in that answer because.......
This problem appears to have gone away, not sure why but I have a possible theory. This is only a theory on my part as I'm not knowledgeable on the inner workings of Firefox. When I installed Firefox 18 it had all the automatic updating options turned on by default. By the time I turned them all off, I'm assuming it had started to download updates for all the plugins and addons, like java, quicktime etc. etc. etc. even though I hadn't personally initiated those downloads and updates. My theory is that once those downloads had started, even though I had turned off the automatic updating, it was going to continue downloading the updates that had started and was not going to stop until it had done so.
I do not disable the anti-phishing and evil website detection stuff but I seriously doubt the updating for those items would have consisted of 89 megabytes of data but I could be wrong.
So for now, I'll close this out and mark it solved and continue to monitor to see if I have any more "weirdness" go on.

Why does LR shut down EVERY time I click anything?

Hey everyone! I'm hoping you can help me because I can't seem to find any answers online or google. I just downloaded the free trial version of Lightroom and no matter what I click (yes, no matter what...whether it's trying to get to "library", "develop", "file", etc), Lightroom automatically shuts downs down on me. I've also tried to uninstall and reinstall it a few times as well.
Anyone know why this may be happening? Would love any help...TIA!

This is where I lack knowledge. In programs and all that computer jargon (my husband is the one that is good with that, haha). What specifics would you need to know? I work on a PC, not Mac and I do not have Vista. I do know that there is enough space/memory if that helps. lol

Iphoto unexpectedly shuts down while importing photos

Recently iphoto has been shutting down every time i try to import photos from my camera. i originally thought that it was a problem with my CF card but i tried uploading with a new one and als an SD card but i have had the same problem. ANyone haveing the same problem, any ideas how to fix it? i am using v6.06.

TimmyW
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Ensure that you have the latest version of the OS (10.4.10), Quicktime (7.1.6) and the app.
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
4. Are there movies on these cards as well as photos?

IMac G5 shuts down while importing HDV video in iMovie

So here is the problem, my 20" iMac G5 will be importing video from my Sony HDV camera, and will just shut down. I mean turn off completely. It happened 6 times yesterday to my wife. When I try to turn it back on, sometimes it will work, sometimes, I have to unplug the iMac from the plug and wait 30seconds before it will turn on again. Any one have any experience with this? Is it a power supply issue? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Why does Computer shut down in middle of burning DVD?

Please help me! I am so frustrated. I have been using PE3 with no problems for over a year. This past week I downloaded the free trial version of PE4 and it kept crashing so I removed it. I made a project in PE3 and it's been crashing every time I try to burn to DVD. So I also removed and re-installed PE3 and re-created the project and once again it gets so far into the burning and then the computer shuts down. This never happened before and has only happened since I had PE4 on my machine, which I removed through add/remove programs. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

I have deleted Quicktime and checked to make sure my audio driver is up to date, it is. My video files are MPEGs and I do have some stills on the timeline but when I removed them it still crashed.
Steve - I have done everything except #1 and nothing works. I cannot burn to a folder.
Here's what's different and maybe the culprit(s). This is the first project since -
1. I downloaded the PE4 trial version. I have since removed it and re-installed PE3 with patch. (Vista still crash)
2. Best buy installed SP1 on my system - hmmm, could SP1 give me this issue?
Thanks.

Why does Safari shut down whenever i open facebook

Hi, whenever i log onto Facebook, safari shuts down immediately. I don't know how to solve this problem and have already tried resetting Safari to no result. I get an error message but thats all. If anyone could tell me how to solve this problem that would be great!

If you post a crash report, hopefully we can help you.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply.
If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
One thing to try before you do that. Make sure your system software is up to date.
Click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

Why does the shut down box pop up?

this is a new problem and seems unrelated to software running. if i don't see the box pop up and the machine begins to shut down on its own-i will come back to a blue screen and have to do a hard shut down. what I've done. unplugged everything and plugged back in. performed a hardware test-it's ok.
booted in safe mode. repaired permissions. one thing I have not been able to do and that's boot up from the install disc or the tech tool disc. right now, I'm creating a bootable backup on an external drive using synk standard
any suggestions?

it happens with the keyboard disconnected. I was surprised it booted up without going through the user screen so I didn't have to enter my password.
and on another note, I'm sure it's obvious, but how do I boot up from my external drive with my imac? the other day when I was having serious issues while trying to fix this problem, I was unable to boot from my install disc
thanks so much for your time

Why does iTunes shut down when i try to access the store?

My iTunes has worked fine for many years but recently it started shutting down as soon as i clicked the Store, Match or Ping link.

Just deleting and reinstalling the software won't delete your music. Your music is stored on your computer. But, you should backup your iTunes purchases on a timely basis regardless.
