iPhoto crashing often

I have iPhoto 08 crashing every time I use it. It crashes anytime from 2-30 minutes after starting it. It does not seem to make a difference what I do, it can also crash without doing anything (not even touching the keyboard or mouse for a few minutes).

I have tried starting iphoto with command+option and rebuilding the library. All thumbnails seem to work fine, and pictures open ok.

Here is the lastest crash log:

Thanks for teh response. I should be able to find symbolic links (you mean symbolic link with alias right?) with this right?

imac:~ mikaa$ cd Pictures/
imac:~/Pictures mikaa$ find . -type l
imac:~/Pictures mikaa$ cd ../Movies/
imac:~/Movies mikaa$ find . -type l
imac:~/Movies mikaa$ cd ../Music/
imac:~/Music mikaa$ find . -type l
imac:~/Music mikaa$

So nothing. I did notice something strange though. I rebooted, and opened iPhoto. Without doing anything it was steadily eating up more and more ram until it crashed. CPU usage was at 48-52% all the time. Just before it crashed it showed something really funky in memory usage (huge numbers).

Sep 21, 2007 10:23 AM in response to dropadrop

Ok, I took a screenshot just before it crashed. Looks like iPhoto is using over 16TB of ram! 😀

edit: Interestingly the MDS process was using a lot of cpu the whole time too. It seemed that together they where using exactly 100% (+-3%) for the 10 minutes before the crash.

edit2: Disabled spotlight for the whole drive and mds still takes up half the cpu as soon as iphoto is started.

dropdead:

An alias file is only 2 KB in size so you can sort by size and quickly find them that way. Also is iPhoto crashing or are you getting a system crash, i.e. kernel panic?

Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and see if there's any improvement. Also go into your User/Library/Caches folder and delete any iPhoto folders in there.

Next run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. Then verify the disk. If repairs are indicated you'll have to boot into your system install disk and run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection menu. After DU has done the repairs repeat one more time and then reboot.

Next uninstall Application Enhancer and any add-on associated with it. That gave me some issues a while back.

User uploaded file Do you Twango?


TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Ok. I found a way to search for aliases, and there where none (should not have been anyway). It's true that "find -type l" does not find them (funny that several documents refer to them as symbolic links though).

I deleted the preferences file and the cache, but it made no difference. I also verified the disks permissions, and the disk itself but there where no problems.

I also added all my photos and the iphoto library file to spotlight privacy, but still mds was going mad till it crashes (I'll add that in the other thread too).

Sep 21, 2007 1:39 PM in response to dropadrop

Copy it to your boot drive, rename it and open with iPhoto. See if it will respond without crashing. Before running iPhoto 7 on it I'ddownload and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. That will ensure that all permissions and ownership are set properly. It that library runs OK you can use iPhoto Library Manager to copy any new photos from the problem library to the new one and preserve the keywords and comments.

Sep 22, 2007 9:16 AM in response to Old Toad

Well finally nothing helped. I renamed the whole library and the preferences so the next time I started iPhoto it was a "clean table". I tried adding a pretty small fraction of my photo's after checking they where valid with preview.

During import it already crashed.

So back to iLife06 it is. Is there anything special in reverting if I don't even care about any saved settings (as in I can just import everything from backups to a clean system).

Sep 22, 2007 9:40 AM in response to dropadrop

Before you give up the fight, log into a plain account (no admin or add ons) or boot into Safe Mode and see if you can get iPhoto to not crash. If it doesn't crash then your account is contribution to the problem and it may be another preference file, not iPhoto's, that iPhoto refers to that's the problem. One way to determine that is the following;

Trouble Shooting Preferences

Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .


It iPhoto crashes in the other account or Safe Mode then it's either iPhoto or a system issue. That may mean reinstall of iPhoto. One approach would be to install the 10.4.10 COMOB updater followed by a permissions repair. That could be tried first.

If you don't have any success then remove the iApps and any file with an iApp name in it that resides in the HD/Library/Reciepts folder. Once you install iLife 06 just create a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library package. That will give you rolls instead of events and may be the same as what you had previously.

iPhoto crashing often
