Why won't my iphoto open or load the pictures?

I click on my iphoto, but it just loads for forever. I can't actually get the pictures to load.

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.

  • Why won't my iphoto open - it is there in applications ?

    my iphoto won't open... But the pictures are still there
    I added a disc and somehow have zipped some files
    How can I get this reset to a different day?
    Can you do that with a MacBook?

    Sorry but with that amount of information no one can help
    We can not see you or your computer and can not read your mind so you have to actually tell us details
    Start with the version of iPhoto and of the OS and details about what is happening
    Why won't my iphoto open - it is there in applications ?
    I believe you are saying that the iPhoto Application is in your Applications folder which is good
    my iphoto won't open
    Ok - but exactly what does happen? telling us the problem without details does not give us anything to work with
    My car won't start - Why?
    But the pictures are still there
    Does this mean tha the iphoto library is still there? or that you see the photos in iPhoto? Exactly what does it mean?
    I added a disc and somehow have zipped some files
    Is this revelant to the issue? If so then again details - what does "added a disk" mean and what disk did you "add"?  Wnd what exactly did you do to "somehow zip some files"? What files did yoo\u "somehow zip"? What did you do with the files you "somehow zipped"?
    How can I get this reset to a different day?
    I have no idea what you want to know here
    Can you do that with a MacBook?
    What is "that"?

  • Why won't my iTunes open after downloading the 11.1 update?

    After downloading the 11.1 update, my iTunes won't bother in opening. I click on the app on my Mac, and after just one bounce, it does not respond. I have tried turning my computer on and off, but it still won't respond. I'm really worried since I have about 13GB of music in my iTunes, and I really don't want to lose all that music. Please, try to help me! Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem Kyrabashi's having, and did try to open iTunes from Applications folder.  Icon bounces once, sadly, then nothing happens.  I've obviously tried rebooting laptop, etc., with no effect.  Anybody have an idea? 

  • Why won't my iphoto open after upgrading to Maverick?

    I just updated to Mavericks and when the computer rebooted the iphoto icon has a circle with a slash through it. When I click on it to try and open iphoto it says iphoto does not work with this computer? my imac is only 3 years old...help?

    You must be running iPhoto 9.3.2 which is the only version not compatible with Mavericks:
    You need to go to the App Store to download and install iPhoto 9.5. It will be a free upgrade.

  • Why won't CS6 suite open after closing the creative cloud update offer window?

    Just updated to Maverick 10.9.3 but problem existed in 10.9.2 also. Was able to open them all just fine three days ago.

    I figured it out. I had to re-enter my serial number to re-activate the programs.

  • Why won't time machine open up to the page where it gives me the option to back up my mac onto my external passport? It just brings me to this page where it gives me the option to scroll through my tabs.

    My time machine application was working fine earlier, but when I clicked it again it just led me to this. How do I open up the page where it gives me the option to back up my mac? and how do I choose certain files to back up? Because I don't want to back up my whole mac, just certain files.

    You are clicking on the wrong TM icon. Or not clicking it correctly.
    Use the TM icon in the top menu area. You can always open TM preferences from System Preferences.
    You can also right click OR Control Click on the TM icon in the dock.. and go to the same place.
    Ie open TM preferences.
    But it is not so easy as you seem to think to setup TM to backup this and not back up that.
    See pondini for info on how to use TM.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    See Q10 for excluding items.
    And info on how to do backups manually.. just turn off auto backups.. you can start them manually when you like.

  • IPhoto will not load the iPhoto library.  When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it.  I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

    iPhoto will not load the iPhoto library.  When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it.  I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

    I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
    recreate the library I believe.  It's been a while so I cant remember
    exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
    have had no problems with it.

  • Why won't my photoshop Elements 10 load?

    Why won't my photoshop elements 10 load?

    Hi Brian,
    Continuing this saga:
    What does it mean to uninstall & reinstall PSE 10?
    I did that, renaming SLStores not a fix, Disappointed (not shocked) at result:
    Editor still hangs on loading, just as before. But real mystery is that it lauches directly into Organizer. No welcome screen. This was setting I had changed in attempted fix, trying to maybe get to Editor via Organizer. Obviously not what program is supposed to do out-of-box, nor what it does on my xp laptop.
    Some file or files not deleted in uninstall were used at launch. It is not the setting or pref going straight to Org that is the problem. That was created as attempted solution.
    But this shows the persistence of mystery file(s) that ARE probably the cause. What & where are they?
    -- Is there a way to find the files used when launch attempted? Event viewer doesn't afaik.I know how to find "modified", but not same oc.
    -- Application Data & Local Application Data have Adobe folders, some specific to Elements. I should have deleted these in uninstall, have since deleted obvious ones. I may delete everyting Adobe.
    -- I would try install on my D drive but often programs wont work from there, and bad file on C might still get in the way. Any thoughts?
    Your persistence is welcome!
    Mike
