Q: iPhoto not responding

Mac OS X v 10.7.5

iMac 2.66GHz i5

iPhoto 8.1.2

 

I am becoming increasingly frustrated at my iPhoto app, which has been working fine until a recent import from a digital camera memory card. During the import the app froze with several pictures still to import. I force quit and eventually managed to get them all imported.

 

Since then I have been unable to use the app.

 

When I open the app, I get the spinning beach ball and eventually give up and force quit. I am unable to select any commands in iPhoto, click on any pictures, or even scroll up and down through the library.

 

I have tried re-building thumbnails but now when I open the app I get "Rebuilding thumbnail caches" and a progress bar which has no blue on it and is making no progress.

 

Any ideas?

    I have just noticed that I created a different iPhoto library a couple of years ago, which has not been updated since 2013. It is stored on my desktop (not in the dock) and I appear to be able to open this as normal.

     

    Does this help?
