Why will iPhoto not launch

When my iMac was finished with installing and rebooting from 10.91.1 to 10.9.2 last week, iPhoto would no longer fully launch. It comes to a blank graphic of the opening screen and stays there for quite a few minutes and then finally quits. I have allowed it to send the data to Apple, but have not received any information. I deleted the com.apple.iphoto.plist to no avail. I cannot get to the "about" menu to find the version, but if I get info on the app icon itself, it appears to be 9.5.1.
Does anyone have any fixes for this? I use iPhoto every day.
iMac 3.06 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
24inch early 2008 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Mac OS X 10.9.2

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

Why will IPhoto not import a PDF image now - it has previously?

Why will iphoto not import a PDF image now - it has previously?

This feature was removed with iPhoto 11. You'll need to ask Apple why:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
In the meantime you can convert a pdf to jpeg or tiff using Preview.

Why does iPhoto not launch after update to version 9.3.2?

Double clicking the application icon causes it to bounce 3 or 4 times in the dock and then quits. Trying to open with command + option will not launch for a rebuild. Holding down the option key illicits the same behavior.
How can I downgrade to 9.3.1 or make 9.3.2 work? It was working perfectly before the upgrade.
My other computer (a recent MacBook Pro) shows 9.3.1 version and software update shows it's up to date. It works great.

Still will not launch in new user account.
Downloaded a fresh copy of iPhoto 9.3.2 from Apple's website and updated. Did show error this time when it failed to launch.
Here it the short version.

I have removed all iphoto files and avatars as one person has suggested. I am suppose to reinstall iPhoto using the discs that came with the computer.
I am not sure what to do with any options that might be provided. Any help will be appreciated.

Be sure the DNG Converter's compatibility is set to provide support for your version of ACR:

Why will Safari not launch Eudora when I click on an email link?

It used to work just fine. However, for about a month now, when I click on "send an email" at my Real Estate Board site, Safari is replaced by a white screen, then reverts back to the "send an email" page. Eudora doesn't launch. Mail doesn't launch. I have Internet Explorer for Mac installed as well, and it won't connect via my e-mail programs either.
I also run Virtual PC, and under it, Internet Explorer. The Windoze version still works.
What gives?

Let me restate my problem.
If I run Safari, click on the email link which should launch Eudora and open a "New Message" window, the screen goes white for a second and reverts back to the link screen but nothing happens. If I launch Eudora first, then in Safari click on the link, still nothing happens.
If I run Explorer for Mac v 5.2.3 it will neither launch Eudora nor open a New Message window if Eudora is already launched.
If I run FireFox, and I click on the link, Eudora will launch and a New Message window opens as it used to do in Safari.
I could really use some help here. Any ideas? Why should I have to use 3rd party browsers?

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

Hi peeps.
why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder, select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files???
all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto?? conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here? Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space. So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
help please.

We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.

The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
You could just move the whole Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

HT201386 Why is iphoto not supporte by ios8 anymore??

Why is iphoto not supported from ios8 anymore?! I put alot of work in slideshows and now i cant use them anymore?! That really makes me angry, why are u keep making it worse and more complicated than it already is with every new update!

Please write this to Apple using the feedback form, so the developer team will see it. This is a user-to-user forum, and we cannot do anything about it.
Use this link: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
Why is iphoto not supported from ios8 anymore?!
Making iPhoto run on iOS8 would have required to a major upgrade and rewriting of code, since the the parts of iOS that support image processing changed considerably. Apple decided to release a new Photos.app to replace iPhoto instead of upgrading iPhoto. See this help documents:
Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
When you send feedback to Apple, be sure to request the features that are missing from Photos and need to be upgraded, if Photos is really to be a replacement for iPhoto. So far, Photos is very basic, and does not yet offer, what has been lost by killing iPhoto.

Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

It's probably telling you that you need 1.5 more GB than you have available. Hook up your device to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do the update from there. OTA updates require a lot more memory than ones done via iTunes.

Hi Friend,
Do you set all the email information correctly?
Can you send/receive emails? If you are often receiving a message on the screen like "cannot contact the server...", check in Settings >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars >> "your name account", if all the fields are filled properly.
You must also turn off Restrictions in: Settings >> General >> Restrictions, because have an option " Allow Alterations - Accounts" that it maybe prevent alterations in your email account.
Hope it will be helpful
