my iPhoto upgraded badly and now everytime i open an image it shuts down. how do i fix this?
what happened was that intenet went off while i was upgrading. when it came back on it finished upgrading but now, everytime i add a picture to iPhoto it tells me to trace the picture to one on the computer, when i click "search in finder" iPhoto instantly shuts down. now i'm sure i have those pics on my pc.
how do i solve this??
help!!!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
what is the exact error message you get? In the iPhoto preferences is "copy imported items to the iPhoto library checked"?
Depress the option key and launch iPhoto - create a new test library and import a few photos to it - does it work properly?

how do i do that?
i deleted the iPhoto program while trying to re-download it.. and now it costs 14$. the problems never end
You install from the original source - if the computer came with a restore disk then form that - if it did not and you accepted the Apps from the App store then you find them under the purchased tab there - you do not have to re-purchase unless you lost your restore disks

ok now it's enableing me to download it free. hope it works
i haven0t thanked you yet, so thank you. i hope it will have no more problems. it is downloading it now! 🙂
Good

ok it installed again but it has the same poblem
lets go back to the top
Depress and hold the option key and launch iPhoto - create a new test library and import a few photos to it - does it work properly?
if no then descrive exactly what you did and how it fails

ok so i called the apple company and this is what resulted: i had a file in my iphoto library that didn'tallow me to load other images. what i had to do was create a new one by clicking alt key and clicking on the iphoto icon. this allowed me to create a new library and my problem was gone. thank you so much for everything

corect that was my original suggestion
Depress and hold the option key and launch iPhoto - create a new test library and import a few photos to it - does it work properly?
However this does not really solve the problem unless you want to start over with a totally new library - it does verify that iPhoto is working and that your account is fine - that the issue is with the iPhoto library
The next suggestion I made probably will resolve the issue with your existing library so you do not have to start over
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

oh ok then, sorry i misunderstud what the option key was. thank you again
my iPhoto upgraded badly.
