iphoto crashes when exporting large images

I recently imported 136 photos from my Nikon camera. The images range in size from 9mb to 36mb. After editing them, I attempted to export them using medium quality and large size (jpegs). iPhoto crashed. I then reduced the number of images i exported from all 136 to 20 at a time. iPhoto crashed again. When I reduced the number to 5 at a time, i was able to successfully export all the images. Sometimes, depending on the individual size of images, I could export 10 at a time. I did an additional experiment by taking 20 images that crashed iPhoto when attempting to export. I changed the export options to low quality and small size and the export succeeded. I have also completely rebuilt the database to ensure corruption was not the problem.


I am hoping there will be a fix so I don't have to export 5 images at a time. Any other help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the crash. I took a quick look and thread five said it crashed because it was unable to allocate memory. So I included thread 5 below.

HI, I got the same issue. the workaround is to copy the photos to your desktop only then move those to a folder or external sd card/drive. That seems to work. If I try to export or drag and drop the photos to a new folder or sdcard it crashes after 5 photos.


I got a similar error log as above.


Maybe the library is corrupted?? I didn't get the error before but recently I've been trying to export the photos out of the library to an sd card .. then it asked me to recreate the thumbnail images.. then the crash started to occur.


Any suggestions,


-Wil

That original post makes no mention of SD cards or the location exported to. In your case the problem is most likely related to the format of the card you were exporting to. Given that iPhoto can export to a folder on the desktop, that's the obvious suspicion. Most of these devices are formatted one of the MS-DOS FAT formats and these have a strict limit on the number of items that can be on the top level of the volume. Putting the files into a folder sidesteps this.

Hi Terrence,


I just did a test.


I export to the desktop by dragging the file from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop.

Then I move those files to the SD card.


It seems to be more consistent now and works. I guess you're right, it doesn't seem to work as well when I go directly to the SD card. However, it does take a while for it to export. I guess the files are in RAW and it has to convert them to JPEG.


Thanks for your input nevertheless.



Is there a way to tell it to export RAW (original files ) rather then converting them to JPEG?


Thanks,


-Wil

Hi Terrence and Larry,


Yes, the export does allow more options.


On a side note, I wonder if you guys can point me to a thread or know the answer to another dilema of mine.


I'm having trouble with getting audio with Adobe Flash content web courses running in Safari.

I tried changing the MIDI settings to 44100 khz at 16 bit channels. but doesn't seem to work. My

Flash is up todate. The video shows up but just no sound. I'm able to view flash content from youtube.com

ok.


Don't know why the flash content from online course won't work.


I also try the same site on firefox, IE, and Google Chrome.. doesn't seem to resolve the audio issue.

I'm guessing there's some setting in the web content that controls the audio I should look into??


Thanks,


-Wil
