iphoto is unresponsive upon launch?
I have iphoto version 9.5.1 (902.17) on a MacBook Air that is running OS X version 10.9.5. I have a very robust iphoto library that is almost filling my hard drive (I have an external hard drive also, but like to keep current photos that need editing on the computer). Everything (computer and hard drive) is backed up using CrashPlan (although CrashPlan is running right now and is backing up all my iPhoto files right now. A few days ago all files were backed up and the percentage was 100% backed up but now it is showing 14mb of files to backup that will take 2 days --- don't know how but this feels like it is connected).
It feels as though all of a sudden I went to open iphoto today and I combined two albums and I got a spinning beach ball. I closed the program and restarted it just to get the spinning beach ball immedietely upon opening. I have shut down the computer, let it sit and restarted. That is about the extent of my personal abilities at trouble shooting.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
