Photos of El Capitan crashes during the preparation of library

I'm on an iMac 27 "(fin 2012) and improved 10.8 to El Capitan."  I have a library huge iphoto (211 GB).  The upgrade went well except for the pictures.  When I try to import my iPhoto library it crashes 50%.  I searched this problem and tried all of the suggestions that I could find without help.  I've updated the iPhoto (9.6.1) application and my library seems fine here.  I ran repair permissions, rebuild the thumbnails, database repair and rebuild the database on my iPhoto library and it always stops at 50% when you try to load in pictures.  I don't know what else to try!  Any other suggestions out there?  Thank you!  Sheri.

If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

Safe mode - on El Capitan

  • Installation of El Capitan problem: "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation. Try running the application again. »

    I've been a fight 2 days now trying to improve my iMac 21.5 2009 end of Mavericks in El Capitan, but as the installation is about to be launched I get this message "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation. Try running the application again".

    Here is a list of all the things I've tried:

    Running the application again;

    Move the installation to another folder application;

    Control date & time and it was already correct;

    Do the installation in safe mode;

    Installation of the upgrade of another user I created only for that purpose;

    The computer restarts and I tried install the upgrade several times;

    And, to be sure that the installation application was not corrupted I made a copy of it on an external HD and tried to install it on my 2011 MacBook Air and it worked (I didn't install because I have El Capitan installed on my MacBook).

    Well, I don't know what else can be done, and I'd rather not have to completely restore my iMac.

    Please try installing again after taking each of these steps you have already taken it.

    Step 1

    Reset the PRAM from your computer.

    Step 2

    If possible, set the clock system as indicated here. If you can only boot into recovery mode, see below.

    In the OS X Utilities screen, select get online help. Safari will launch. While in recovery, you will have no access to your bookmarks or history. Load this web page.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select:

    date 0801000014

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Quit Safari. You go back to the OS X Utilities screen.

    Select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar. It will open a Terminal window. Paste in the window by pressing the command-V key combination.

    Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. If it does not appear, press return.

    Quit the Terminal to return to the main screen.

    Step 3

    If your model has replaceable memory by the user and you have upgraded modules of memory, reinstall the original memory and see if there is any improvement. Make sure not to touch the Gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Spare memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine. Do not install more memory to the maximum value specified, even if a seller of RAM, or someone else, said you that it will work.

    Step 4

    Back up the data at least two different storage devices, if you haven't done so already. A backup is not enough to be sure. Backups are possible with Time Machine or disk utility. Preferably both.

    Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all the data on the boot volume, if you be better be sure backups.

  • After download, ' an error occurred during the preparation of the installation.

    Ok.  I'm not very good with computers, so I'm going to do my best here:

    I downloaded El Capitan last night, did the installation and rebooted.  The questions endless gray on the screen.  Relaunched in LANDAU several times; Install still 'stuck' 31 minutes downloading - every time.  Restarted in safe mode; install 'stuck' 24 minutes - every time.  I did the safe mode--> reinstalling OS X, which then made me download 'additional components' and then restarted automatically.  That put me right back to get 'stuck' to 24 minutes Setup.

    I could then go back to my previous OS X 10.7.5 then in safe mode (I don't remember how).  I have so found the OS X 10.11 El Capitan install file in my applications folder, tried running the installer again and got "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation.  Try to run the installation again. "I tried several times over with no different results.  I checked the date in the terminal; It is correct.  So I deleted the application (ten hours later!). Re-uploaded El Capitan on the App Store on the day the next day and just tried to run the installation program and still get "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation.  Try to run the installation again. »

    I do not have a "clean"... installation I didn't really know what it was before all these questions.  All my stuff is backed up via Time Machine on an external hard drive that...

    Any advice would be so appreciated.  I am at a loss at this point.

    Thank you!

    So, everything was OK, two days ago? On Lion OS?

    Of course, there was a hiccup during the installation. you said "makes installation and restarted."

    During the installation (Setup in the applications folder), it restarts after installation, it installs effectively while restarting. So I guess the installation never finished, maybe because you the restarted.

    This means that your operating system 'old' is always on it, but not completely healthy because of the "accidents" caused by ElCapitan failure install.

    So I propose:

    Connect your Time Machine disk (when not connected), start in the RecoveryPartition Time Machine restore, choose a date before that you tried to install ElCapitan, let him finish completely, it restarts automatically (I think). Then you are back where you started.

  • Satellite A210-15Y crashed during the update of the bios

    The worst case has happened and the laptop computer crashed during an update of the bios. I know that there is the possibility to repait the bios with a tool of recovery from crisis. For this purpose you have to press 2 keys (in most cases FN + B or Win + B) during the connection of the supply cable and the next start. I tried many books, but nothing happened. Can someone tell me the keys on which I have to press a 210 - 15Y satellite and maybe where I can get an image of cd of the tool of the crisis, because the laptop does not have a floppydrive?

    Hello

    As far as I know that the BIOS crisis procedure may be crazy by a technician of the ASP.
    You can not download a version of traditional BIOS who can update the BIOS from a USB FDD floppy.
    You can download only focused on the victory of the BIOS that can be run so that windows operating system is running.

    In my opinion, you should get in touch with a local ASP!

  • noisy PC during the preparation of the recovery disks

  • After Effects keeps crashing during the RAM Preview? [Sound problem]

    Hey, personal Adobe! Adobe After Effects worked well during the first week! But about 3 days ago I discovered a major problem. Whenever I have add all the sound/music files in the application and click the RAM Preview, Adobe After Effect crashes. It was surprising to me because it never happened to me before. But here's the thing, if I don't add any audio files in my project and click RAM Preview, it does not crash. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks again!

    You should consider updating your OS and your AE.

    Apple fixed some critical bugs in that related to EI 10.10.5, so I'll try that first.

    So, if you don't mind the new cool blue colors, you should also consider updating AE - at least to the last version of CC 2014. There was a lot of bug fixes and new features added.

  • Problem with CS5 to crash during the insertion or deletion of page

    I have a legacy file (teaching manual) which was created in CS2 and has been edited and updated over the past two years with no problems. The file is about 360 pages, with about 30 illustrations, table of contents and index larger size. During the updating of the material today, I went back to insert a page because the text to overflow and InDesign crashed. This happens whenever I try to insert or delete a single page. I can insert a single page on the pages i to viii, but when I try to insert a page in InDesign Sec2:1 early crashes. I can open and close the file, and edit anywhere without any problem.

    If I insert 2 pages at a time, it works fine and I can run the text on the page. But when I delete the extra page that I don't need, it crashes. It doesn't seem to be specific to any specific master page in the file. I tried several times to export to an IDML file, reopen and save it in an InDesign file, but the same problem occurs.

    The same thing with the file on the same verson InDesign which is on my laptop. This problem does not occur with other InDesign files that I've created in the past. I need help. Thank you!

    I just thought some about this, so I'm glad you popped up again.

    Seems to me you have two choices, go back to the previous version which works and re-do much editing or try to fix later. If you want to go back, open the file and check the bey in the history of file holding the CTRL key while you choose about InDesign from the menu help. You will see the full backup history in the lower left corner of the dialog box. I check for the latest version, that it has been saved, then open the file in this version and export into .inx (in CS4 or earlier) or .idml .idml for CS5 or later, and then open the .idml in CS5 and save as a new .indd and proceed.

    The existing file, you can divide and conquer stuff, but like I said, I thought instead, and in your shoes I would probably ignore the first step and try to export to text marked for each story, and then build a new doc by placing the tagged text. If it seems to be OK, place the images again and go ahead.

    Whatever it is, I think you have some heavy lifting.

  • Photos about El Capitan - double and the names of duplicate files

    Hello, here is a brief summary of how I got here:

    Rebuilt my MBP after you install a second drive. Before that, I backed up all my stuff, using time machine on an external drive of USB3 and manually by using the old method of copy/paste shaped on a second drive USB3. The manual copy consisted of important files such as photos and my photo app library.

    After I rebuilt the system, I copied my library of photos from my backup copy manually in my pictures folder. Then I ran the Photos app and imported this library (I think now that it was a mistake). I then activated iCloud photo library. This began a process of downloading pictures of 18 500 towards the cloud again. At first, I thought... not worth it... it will merge if something is missing.

    Now I was left with many duplicates, I mean a lot. However, the size of the photo library is smaller than it was until I started actually a few GB.

    So, without having the two libraries side by side and comparison - is it possible that the library has not merged correctly but duplicated in fact all photos where file names are the same?

    So, if I got three photos with the name, IMG_7133.jpg, but they were taken on different days, or even several years. But, if you perform a copy and paste manual and you lose a part of the metadata, could all three of these photos be duplicated and crushed (duplicate in this case)? Perhaps it takes the first picture with the name and creates two versions most of it?

    If anyone knows how this works or can vouch for me (and my nerves) Photos would not replace any existing pictures, I would be very grateful

    Thank you very much

    Gerry

    Then I ran the Photos app and imported this library (I think now that it was a mistake) .is solution is going to be

    Yes - a massive mistake - ever import a library as it does not wok and creates a huge mess with a lot of "duplicates" and many other problems - you open libraries - likely the solution will be drag drag the poor desktop library (if you have space) and drag the library of SMT in the folder of the picures and double-click it to open it - it should be good and after checking He can trash trash bad on the dektop library
