Iphoto Crash - Can't allocate memory

Question

Iphoto crashes and issues error report. When re-opening Iphoto, get a message stating "Inconsistencies Found - Repair Database".  Cycle repeats over and over again. Review of error reports shows failure due to "CoreImage_crashed_because_it_could_not_allocate_memory(void const*) + 17" Why is CorelImage crashing and what can I do about it? Running on a MacMini, OSX 10.8.2, 2GB main memory, Iphoto version 9.4.2Error report follows: Process: iPhoto [2837]Path: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhotoIdentifier:

As a start try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library LN

Yer_Man · Answer

As a Test:Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select &#x27;Create Library&#x27; Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I backed up the iPhoto Libary folder and did a Rebuild.  No change in problem, with the same error message. I then took the backup copy of the Iphoto Library and loaded onto my son&#x27;s Macbook Pro (OS X version 10.8.2, Iphoto version 9.4.2).  Again, iPhoto crashes - same error message:  CoreImage_crashed_because_it_could_not_allocate_memory(void const*) + 17This is the error report for the specific thread that crashed on the Macbook Pro:Thread 16 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: Face Detection0 com.apple.CoreImage                  0x94fb5205 CoreImage_crashed_because_it_could_not_allocate_memory(void const*) + 171 com.apple.CoreImage                  0x94fb5090 FEVirtualMemory::allocate(unsigned long&amp;, signed char&amp;, FEVirtualMemoryUsage) + 2882   com.apple.CoreImage                  0x94e66f67 fe_buffer_activate(FEContext*, unsigned int) + 4893 com.apple.CoreImage                  0x94e66cea -[FEBuffer beginRenderForContext:textureTarget:warpMode:flipped:flags:] + 1644 com.apple.CoreImage                  0x94ea33dd FETexture::renderSetup(FEContext*, FEFormat) + 2055 com.apple.CoreImage                  0x94ea330b FETexture::textureRenderSetup(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat) + 376 com.apple.CoreImage                  0x94eac444 FEDivTreeNode::render2(FETreeContext*, FEShape const*, void (*)(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat), void (*)(FEContext*, void*), void*) + 4627 com.apple.CoreImage                  0x94ea8d5b FETreeNode::render_(FETreeContext*, FEShape const*, void (*)(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat), void (*)(FEContext*, void*), void*) + 1518 com.apple.CoreImage                  0x94ea8f23 FETreeNode::renderTexture(void*, CGRect, FEFormat, void (*)(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat), void (*)(FEContext*, void*), void*) + 699 com.apple.CoreImage                  0x94ea3703 FETexture::retainTextureObject(FETextureCache*, FEContext*, unsigned int, void*, void (*)(void*, CGRect, FEFormat, void (*)(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat), void (*)(FEContext*, void*), void*), CGRect const*, bool, fe_texture_object_struct**) + 74910 com.apple.CoreImage                 0x94ea4082 FETexture::newTexture(FEContext*, fe_texture_params_struct const*, void*, void (*)(void*, CGRect, FEFormat, void (*)(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat), void (*)(FEContext*, void*), void*), fe_texture_object_struct**) + 99611  com.apple.CoreImage                 0x94ea92b7 FETreeNode::createTexture(FETreeContext*, unsigned int, unsigned int, bool, bool, FETreeTexture*, unsigned int) + 88512 com.apple.CoreImage                 0x94eab76d FEApplyTreeNode::render2(FETreeContext*, FEShape const*, void (*)(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat), void (*)(FEContext*, void*), void*) + 71913 com.apple.CoreImage                 0x94ea8d5b FETreeNode::render_(FETreeContext*, FEShape const*, void (*)(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat), void (*)(FEContext*, void*), void*) + 15114 com.apple.CoreImage                 0x94eac76f FETreeNode::render(FETreeContext*, FEShape const&amp;, void (*)(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat), void (*)(FEContext*, void*), void*) + 9715 com.apple.CoreImage                 0x94eac708 FETreeContext::render(FETreeNode*, FEShape const&amp;, void (*)(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat), void (*)(FEContext*, void*), void*) + 5216 com.apple.CoreImage                 0x94eafe57 FETreeContext::renderTree(FETreeNode*, FEShape const&amp;, void (*)(FEContext*, void*, FEFormat), void (*)(FEContext*, void*), void*) + 185End of message

I created a new library of 13 photos and it is not crashing.  Message was edited by: Applewood - My full library is more than 16,000 photos

Yer_Man · Answer

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it&#x27;s the FIle -&gt; Rebuild command) This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won&#x27;t be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you&#x27;re not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

The problem is resolved. I called Apple Support for help.  I knew that all my hardware and software was outside the warranty period and that I would have to pay for the help.  But it was only $19.00 for 30-days of help on this problem.  And they nailed it.Recently, I scanned some old family photos.  I am not a photography or computer expert, so I experimented with resolution and pixel density settings during the scanning process.  In the course of this experimenting, a couple of wallet-sized photos were scanned and captured in files greater than 100 MB.  Yep - megabytes.   Iphoto facial scanning, apparently, works in memory and it choked while trying to process a couple of 100MB faces.  It was the Apple Support people who, after eliminating other possibiities, requested some file data, instructed me on how to extract it, reviewed it and identified the file size issue. After deleting the offending JPEG files from Iphoto, the problem went away and did not return.   Iphoto has worked fine for more than a week.  So that was clearly the problem. I did not lose any data.  I rescanned the problem photos at a resolution consistent with that used by my camera and a file size comparable to my camera.  The Iphoto library remained intact and I didn&#x27;t have to purchase any new software or  download any freeware.   The support staff at Apple were very patient and persistent in working through my problem.  I&#x27;m not employed by Apple, don&#x27;t have relatives employed by Apple, and I don&#x27;t own the stock.  But I recommend people give the Iphoto support group a try before buying new software or mangling their libraries.

You are a life saver !!! I&#x27;ve had a crashing library for ages and couldn&#x27;t find the solution, that was before I stumbled across your posting. After reading it I suddenly remembered one of my photos was a scanned picture where I&#x27;d obviously set the detailing too high resulting in an excessive large file size. Although perfectly viewable and ok to load into iphoto, iphoto would then crash while trying to find &#x27;faces&#x27; but there was no easily identifiable error message. Anyway I found the photo, removed it manually from the library (using Finder) and clicked on iphoto and all loaded perfectly. Can&#x27;t tell you how many hours wasted trying to find solution so very grateful you posted this.

How were you able to see the size of your photo files? I have a few thousand and can&#x27;t figure out how to see the sizes (aside from going picture by picture in iPhoto).  Any help would be appreciated!

Applewood · Answer

Apple Support can walk you through how to do this.  It involves using the Terminal App (which comes with OSX) and typing in some commands to product at txt-formatted report.  To me, it was worth the $20 support fee to solve this problem. One other possible solution, if you have the disk space and the time, is to export your entire library to a separate folder on your MAC.  This will leave your library intact.  Once in a folder, choose to view the folder contents as a "List" and click on the "Size" column header.   The contents in the folder will sort by file size.  Again, all this leaves your iPhoto Library intact.   If you have large photo files, you can then go back to the iPhoto Library and delete the offending pictures.
