My iphoto does not work.. It has suddenly stopped!
When I open iPhoto, the spinning rainbow wheel comes up, and I am unable to do anything - so I have to force quit..
I'm not sure what to do? I have the extended warranty for my laptop - it is less than 12 months old
iTunes also wont update to the latest version either.....
Any suggestions on what I should do?
Im mostly concerned about iPhoto...

Don't know about iTunes, but iPhoto may have corruption issues with its database. See here for remedies: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638

Thanks, sadly neither of those worked.. I have no idea what to do! I also just tried downloading the iphoto manager, but that didnt work either...
Hi,
I've had this issue twice now when importing photo's from my iPhone.
First time I rebuild library from backup. The backup did not contain the imported pictures so iPhoto worked fine again.
Yesterday I "retried" to import. So the problem re-occured (duh).
This time however I noticed there was an "update icon" next to places when iPhoto froze.
So I decided to disable automatic "Lookup Places". The trick however is to get into a responsive iPhoto.
For this: start iPhoto while holding the Option (or alt) key, create a new library, open iPhoto using this new library, go to Preferences, Advanced Tab, set Look up Places to " never".
Close iPhoto, open again using Option (or alt) key (because the new, empty, library has been set to default automatically), select your original library and your iPhoto should be fine again.
This did the trick for me. Hope this helps.
Cheers!
You are my hero! Months of pain with iPhoto, now solved I think! Thank you.
