I use O/S 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. I cannot stop iPhoto '11 from hanging. Have tried everything I know. Please help.
iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
How can we help with that amount of information? When does the hang occur, for instance? Any crumb of information you can offer might help.
Thank you for your reply. Each time I launch iPhoto '11, it hangs on opening no matter which Photo Library I choose by hitting option before opening. I then have to force quit to get out of the application. I don't recall having this problem before the last upgrade of iPhoto '11. I have tried creating a new Library, but it still hangs.
Thanks for any help
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Thank you. In new account if I try to import any photos, iPhoto 'll hangs again. Will try to reinstall app.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
