I tried every method mentioned about iphoto..then eventually I had to uninstall and reinstall the app at the expense of my archive..How ever iphoto still screws up..It does not respond to any commands..I am using the latest OS X..and just downloaded the app from app store..What is wrong with apple nowadays?

Rebuild your iPhoto Library > iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library
I tried, but still stops working after a minute..I also tried all other fix options but they were in vain..the apple logo turns into rainbow and whirls till I force quit..
What versions of OS X and iPhoto do you have?
I will request that your query be relocated to the iPhoto forum where knowledgeable iPhoto users will be able to assist you.
Ciao.
OS X 10.9.3 Iphoto 9.5.1(902.17)
Sounds good..Thanks
Back up all data.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
After the above test, quit iPhoto again and put the original library back where it was, overwriting the test library. Post your results.

Try to narrow down the problem. It would be good to know, if the problem is caused by your iPhoto library, by settings in your account, or a system wide problem.
Post back with the results.
I did all the work listed by you. The new library does freezes in two situations:
1. When I tried to upload or add a pic, it starts the importing process that never ends(freezes)
2. Whenever I activate Icloud in the iphotos tab, the app is locked in 5 seconds and I always apply to force quit.
First, I thought that my apple account might be the reason and tried to operate new library without activating or linking it to my apple acount. However, whenever I tried to import pic., it freezed.
Then, I created a new library again and linked it to apple account, and as soon as I did that, the iphoto was locked and freezed.
I realized that new library not linked to apple account(icloud) works fine without freezing as long as I do not attempt to import a pic. Also, I became certain that the icloud(apple account linking) 100% freezes the app as soon as I click the to Connect to Icloud button under Icloud tab of Iphotos.
P.S.: Since all my data has already been screwed up by this BS app, I easily erase and create new library without any hesitation. Also, I empty the trash in my every new attemp not to let the library dublicate itself with erazed one..
In addition to my reply to Linc Davis,
I tried what you recommended, however I could not test it with a guest account b/c whenever I connect as a guest, the system only offers me safari as a work station. In system preferences under the Users&Groups tab, I tried to change the guest allowences but it did not work. So I could not test it as a guest user.
Update: Just realized that FileVault causes this. So now I am deactivating FileVault. I am not sure but may be the encrypted data might also affect the iphotos. But I am not so much positive about this possibility. I will try the steps you and Linc suggested after the FileVault decrypt my data, and share the results.
Thanks..
Create a test account that's a non-administrative account via the System/Accounts preference pane. It makes a great troubleshooting tool Don't add any 3rd party addons to it as you want it pristine.
OT

File vault is know to cause problems with photo libraries - it can interfere with the references between edited versions and original image files.
FileVault should have no effect on iPhoto.
