iPhoto was doing fine until today. It launches but when I try to do anything with Slideshows it freezes and will not respond. I force quit and relaunch but the same thing happens. Can I re-install iPhoto without losing my thousands of photos and/or slideshows? Can iPhoto max out on space? Thanks
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 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. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain 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.
Yes, iPhoto can max out on sapce. It's limited to 1,000,000 items 😉
- iPhoto 11, version 9.5
- OS X, version 10.9
- One slideshow, that I've been creating for over two weeks, is freezing the entire app. When I try to open or drag or add pictures to it I get the color wheel. I can't force quit from the iPhoto screen -- I get the color wheel when I scroll over the applie (upper left corner). I have to force quit from Firefox, mail, or any other app I have open. I don't want to lose this slideshow!!
-Just started this morning. Nothing installed or deleted, no error messages.
- Have only quit and re-launched
- Nothing unusual. Only use iPhoto to store photos and create slideshows. I back up the photos in my Dropbox.
Nothing else I can think of!
Where is the Library stored?
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
