Please help: when I open iPhoto, the colored wheel spins and spins. What to do?? Is there a simple solution, as I am not very computer literate.
iMac, iOS 7.1
What version of iPhoto?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.
I don't know what version--I'm not a computer person... How do I find out?
The test resulted in a spinning wheel in the new, blank library, too.
Thanks for getting back to me.
in iPHoto - iPhoto menu ==> about iPhoto
Or using the finder - select the iPhoto application in the applications folder and get info

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot and try to launch iPhoto again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
