iphoto on macbook air glithes when trying to edit.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :

- What version of iPhoto.

- What version of the Operating System.

- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.

- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?

- Are there error messages?

- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.

- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?

Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.

OT

You can call Apple care and get help

As a test You can depress the option key and launch iPhoto and create a new library - import a few photos into it and see if the problem occurs in the new library - this will verify the software

If the problem recurs there create a new account and create a new library there and import a few photos and see if the porblem occures in a new account

If Apple Care can't help (surprissing) and the new library and the new account neither work then you need to reinstall iPhoto

LN

Yes -

If Apple Care can't help (surprising) and the new library and the new account neither work then you need to reinstall iPhoto

LN

Log into the App Store under the Apple ID you used to set your computer up and under purchases (unhide and accept the application if necessary) download and re-install

LN

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair

*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Yes it is

(unhide and accept the application if necessary)

I suggest again that you call Apple Care - and take an intrductory class - you really need to learn the very basics if you do not want to be extremely frustrated
