Quit iPhoto

Everytime I open iPhoto, it stops everything as photos come to the top, but I have no idea why - can anyone help?

It will not even stay open quite long to download pictures in it now either...

As a Test:

Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. In the menu that appears, select 'Create Library'

Import pictures into this empty library. The problem is repeated here?

Post back with the result.

  • iPhoto removes more after importation

    Obviously, Apple are trying to destroy iPhoto and you must use the abomination that is pictures (hideous interface and useless feature - seriously you're hiding a photo and it is still displayed in the photos - what's the point!).

    Anyway, iPhoto is still far superior, but after sierra * update * (is it really an upgrade, which makes it sound as if it was top!), in any case, after the passage at sierra when I plug my idevices in it transfers the pictures, but offers more delete them. So now I have to open iphoto, then unlock the idevice, then transfer the stuff in iphoto, then return to the idevice to remove photos ensuring that they transferred first, then quit iphoto.

    Apple, it's just works *, although probably no where near as simply as any other solution and that if you want to how Apple (trying to get rid of albums of places and/or people who popped in iOS 10!).

    (* Apple defines "works" means that the function may or may not work and may or must not cause a significant waste of time and/or loss of content.)

    Is it possible to transfer/delete functionality works correctly?

    So now I have to open iphoto, then unlock the idevice, then transfer the stuff in iphoto, then return to the idevice to remove photos ensuring that they transferred first, then quit iphoto.

    You can launch the Image Capture.app and import the photos in a folder in the Finder and then import this file into iPhoto.  If you use the transfer of images, you can always remove distributed after importation.

    But in fact, it is not recommended to remove the pictures from the camera before convince you yourself, that the imported photos have been transferred without transmission mistakes and make the first backup. I've seen quite a few posts here, where iPhoto crashed during importation or imported photos have been corrupt and if that happens, you will not be able to resume the transfer, if you let iPhoto delete photos immediately.

    The way you describe it is best practices, and how you should be important, even if the delete after import option was still available.

  • Not trustworthy with iphoto TimeMachine

    Time Machine backup did not contain the month last photos.

    I am running:

    iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2 (424)

    Mavericks 10.9.5 MacOSX

    TM backup is made to a NAS, QNAP TS-412

    I had a diskcrash on a macmini, loose connector of the

    PowerCable. Don't panic, it's when I start TM for. After the reconstruction of the

    the backup (on a spare drive) system we found that last month

    photos in the iPhoto library was missing. The index shows all the

    thumbnails of the photos, but JPEGs themselves were not

    present. Research with the Finder in the sparsebundle disk image revealed

    that they were never written to the backup. They are lost and gone

    Forever, dreadful sorry Clementine. (I saved about 20% by scavanging

    the drive crashed with a disk recovery program).

    Should I go back to manual backups or a task to crontab using rsync? Or

    can I trust TM perform better in the future if I'm going to El

    Capitan and start using Photos? This is not the same as iPhoto and I

    seen very bad reviews on El Capitan.

    Or should I buy an Apple Timecapsule instead of use the SIN?

    iPhoto has a bad history with Time Machine and used Apple recommends that you quit iPhoto regularly to ensure back ups have been created correctly.

    I'm not sure of the relationship between TM and a NAS, but iPhoto is not designed to work with NAS at all.

  • How can I move my library iPhoto for WD My Cloud?

    I have a MBP 2011 OSx 10.9.5 running with a 320 GB hard drive which is full (only 4.5 GB of free space remaining).  I'm not being updated lately b/c I don't have disk space to do so.  I have an iPhoto library 164GB I want to spend.  I backed up the iPhoto library on a WD My Passport without any problems.  I have a WD My Cloud 2 TB NAS.  I want to save my iPhoto on the NAS library so that whenever I want to access iPhoto I can't plug my DHM.  Or if I travel and you want to access my photos I don't have to carry the EHD with me.  Essentially, I want to use the NAS to accommodate my iPhoto library for access to daily and then use my passport EHD to perform manual backups on a regular basis, so I have a backup of the SIN.  My question... How can I move my iPhoto library to the NAS and it work to use the SIN as the point of main access for my photos?  Thank you.

    Short answer: you don't have. It is not a supported disc format and you risk of major loss.

    Long answer: iPhoto must have the library sitting on drive to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Users with the library sitting on disks formatted also regularly report matters including, but not limited to, import, export, save the changes and photo sharing.

    See this article

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/TS5168

    to learn more. Also note the comment:

    "In addition, store the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or loss of data."

    This is doubly true in the case of wireless connections: If you try to change the library (i.e. make albums, move pictures around, keyword, brand books or slide shows etc.) or edit individual photos in it wireless be very cautious. Dropouts are a common reality of wireless network, and does it happen while the app is written to the database, then your library will be damaged. Simply, I wouldn't do this with my libraries.

    If disk space is a problem, and it is very definitely for you:

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

    1. quit iPhoto

    2 copy the iPhoto library to your folder on the external drive.

    3 hold down the option (or alt) key when launching iPhoto. In the menu that appears, select "Choose Library" and navigate to the new location. From there it will be the default location of your library.

    4 test the library, and when you are sure that all is well, trash on your HD internal for free space.

    and got about it fly by the whole project and 4 hours of work and starting over.

If this is not the problem is limited to your library so try to repair the library according to the instructions in this document from Apple: Repair Your Library.

    Warning: If you use iCloud photo library with Photos, this operation will lead to Photos to upload all your pictures again (of difficulty missing or incorrect thumbnails in photo - Apple Support).

    Re: Change the font size of the text in a font of month date box resizes also irreversible at 6 points?

    in response to Loki cyberworld

    I ran into the same problem - my iPhoto calendar month text was small for a reason, and I couldn't change it to a larger font size. I decided to take a look at the way iPhoto stores project data and discovered that it is a simple SQLite table.

    Here is a fix, guaranteed to work.  We will open your iPhoto projects database and edit the details of the police directly by hand, because there is no way to fix this in iPhoto (Apple, correct this bug...)

    This seems much more difficult that it is what is serious effort of 10 minutes.

    1. Get SQLite Browser http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/
    2. Quit iPhoto and launch the browser of SQLite
    3. Open a new finder window and open the pictures folder located in your home directory
    4. You should see a section in your folder of photos called "iPhoto Library".  Right click and choose "Show Package Contents" because we need to edit a file inside the library
    5. Search for "Projects.db."  Right click and choose "Duplicate" to make a backup in case something goes wrong
    6. Drag and drop the "Projects.db" in the application being SQLite Browser
    7. Click on the button "browse data".
    8. Select the 'KHProject' in the menu dropdown "Tables".
    9. You will see a list of your iPhoto projects.  Locate your calendar project by browsing this list and especially the values in the column 'name '.  When you have found your calendar project, take note of the number in the column 'modelID '.
    10. Change to the "KHProjectTextStyle" table using the drop "Tables".
    11. Locate a line in the table "KHProjectTextStyle", where the number in the column matches 'projectID' 'modelID' you noted in step 9, and where the value "IdentificateurStyle" is "Photo-calendrier-CalendarMonth.
    12. On the line drawn in step 11, look at the value of the column "fontSize".  For my broken calendar, he was "6".  It's much too small, that you can barely read 6 points.
    13. Double-click the "fontSize" value (for me, I double-clicked the value '6')
    14. Replace the '6' '54.  Do not press on enter, just change the '6' '54"and click the button"Apply Changes ".
    15. You're done! Simply click on the disc icon in the browser of SQLite to save your changes (or file-> save)
    16. Open iPhoto and enjoy your calendar fixed

    Hope that helps some of you, this worked 100% for me on several projects of calendar.  If you see not the font size change, make sure that you have identified the correct project in step 8 and make sure you change the "fontSize" for this project, on the line where the value "IdentificateurStyle" is "Photo-calendrier-CalendarMonth.

    If something was terribly wrong, you did a backup in step 5 (right?) and just delete the "Projects.db" you have edited and rename "Projects.db" of the backup.  You can then try again, or not.

    I send my calendars to print this week and will see if there are any questions.  I don't anticipate any problems.

    Don't forget to back up your library before you try the hack of the database file.

    Hi sansby,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand you have questions, import photos from your iPhone to iPhoto on your Mac, but you see a message that says that process is pending. We know that situations like this can be frustrating, but I want that work you through some troubleshooting steps.

    You mention that you import into iPhoto; I would like to begin troubleshooting by forcing iPhoto to close on your Mac by following the instructions in the following article.

    Force an application to close on your Mac - Apple Support

    IPhoto has been closed, disconnect your iPhone completely and then open iPhoto fresh and try to import again as described in the following article.

    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your computer - Apple Support

    While import trying once again, if you experience the same behavior, quit iPhoto again and try to import using Photos or Capture of Image as described in the article.

  • IPhoto library is locked and 'force quit' or restarting solves the problem. Any ideas?

    iPhoto has error message: library is locked. clicking on repair or force quit or restart has not resolved. How can I get the app to restart?

    Can you give us the exact error message? Generally, the most common one said something on a disclock. Is your library on an external? If so, what format is it?

    Also, what version of iPhoto?

    Assuming that is not on an external, try to download iPhoto Library Manager and use the rebuild feature. (In early versions of the Library Manager, this is the file-> control Rebuild. In versions later it is under the menu library.)

    This will create a completely new library. It will then copy (or try) your photos and all associated metadata and versions to this library and as close as possible to what you had in the damaged library fix it. It does this based on the information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but it means that things not shared won't be there, so no slide shows, books or calendars, for example - but it should recover all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places.

    Because this process creates a completely new library and does not change your old, it is non-destructive, and if you are not satisfied with the result, you can simply go back to your old.

    How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

    IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

    I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

  • IPhoto unexpectedly quits when downloading project

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone might have any suggestions? I'm trying to download a large number of photographs of a project of iphoto from Apple in order to get their approval.

    I managed to create a few folders and download successfully, each of them containing about 100-150 photos.

    I have a folder but with slightly more than 300 photos that iphoto is constantly crashing when you try to download. Details of payment and delivery are taken, the stars of the upload, getting 20-25% how the program closes unexpectedly.

    I can't stand having to create a new folder, because once the photos are assigned to a project you can not copy, cut and paste, or divide it into a new folder (at least not that I can find)...

    Any help would be great.

    With many thanks,.

    Mr. Remi.

    Is what type of project?  A photo book?  a calendar?

    If iPhoto crashes while downloading one of the photos is may be damaged.

    You can create a PDF of your project overview? If so, carefully check if the items have not been returned correctly:

    See this link: Preview a print project in Photos, iPhoto or Aperture to avoid problems - Apple Support

    If iPhoto crashes when rendering the preview, try to isolate the element that is the cause of the crash.  It may be a corrupt photo or markers on a map.

    To isolate the duplicate element in your project. Remove half of the copy of the project pages and try again to preview it. If this attempt is successful, the culprit is somewhere on the pages that you just removed. Now copy back the project and test it with the pages you have previously deleted. Remove half of the first half of the pages and test again, until you are themselves with a small set of pages that will crash when previewing. Test the photos on these pages if they can be changed.  If this is not the case, replace these photos by differnet photos.

Maybe you are looking for
