My iphoto has been repsonding very slowly - and will take up to a few hours to full open. Is there a maximum capacity for photos that should be/can be held within iPhoto. Currently I have 26,000 images/photos in my iPhoto
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 16GB 1TB 2.6 GHZ
What version of iPhoto? The current version (iPhoto 11) is good for 1,000,000 items, earlier versions for 250,000, so you've a little head room yet.
That said there is definitely somethign wrong there. What version of iPhoto do you have? Where is the Library? How much free space on your HD?
I have iPhoto 9.5.1 - the library is on the computers hard drive. My computer is 1TB - I have 33GB left, the computer mostly has movies (590GB) and photos (139GB).
I have 16 GB of Ram
The computer in general is slowing down - but I notice it the most in iPhoto.
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.
