Hello everyone,
Sorry for my english.
This morning i worked on iphoto.
This afternoon, iphoto doesn't work anymore.
So i try to restart it but iphoto freeze all the time now.
I try to :
- Restart my imac.
- Restaure the library by using CMD & ALT
- Delete the cache files.
But iphoto freeze again and again.
Can you help me ?
Thanks you so much.
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Last Version of iphoto.
I just delete my library and restart iphoto on my principal account.
I choose to create a new library and everything is working fine except of course that i don't have my pictures anymore 😢
It helps ?
I just delete my library
Was that the library that had your photos? If so you shouldn't have done so because we could have saved the original image files that were in it even if it couldn't be opened by iPhoto.
Do you have a backup copy of that library?
Sorry, when i said "delete", i would rather say "move to another folder".
And you are right, i saved the orignal image files in the library.
It wasn't easy because the application saves the pictures into a lot of folder and the classification is really strange.
I tried to put again my old library and iphoto freeze again ...

If you still have a library with your pictures in it (even it if won't open with iPhoto) you can do the following:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
