Beach ball when opening iphoto
The other night I made an album in iPhoto for a Christmas gift, when I opened iPhoto the next day all I get is the spinning beach ball. This means I can't burn the album to a flash drive as planned, nor can I do anything else in iPhoto. I've had to force close it several times. I shut my computer down every night, so I thought that maybe it just needed to be rebooted, but when I logged on tonight the same problem. The only other thing I know I did was I tried downloading a photo from Facebook into iPhoto, but it said it wasn't compatible so I just downloaded the photo to my downloads folder which I have done before without a problem--- and since then I have rebooted the computer. Any other suggestions? I'm going to see if going back a few days in Time Machine will help. I really would like to know what caused this problem so I do not do it again... there was no recent update for iPhoto so it's not a glitch. I've had no problems uploading pictures from my camera. It just happened at some point after I created an album (which I have done in the past with no problems). You would think that shuting down the computer and restarting it a day or two later would have fixed any glitches/ brain farts.
