Mac Pro :: IPhoto Getting Slow With Each Update - Crashes Often
Jun 19, 2012
My initial pleasure with the speed of my new-to-me Mac Pro (8 core) is turning to frustration as Lion and iPhoto get glitchier and slower with each update. Tonight, while simply saving a file in iPhoto, it crashed and took 97 seconds to reopen and stabilize (SBOD). I've seen posts as far back as early 2010 regarding iPhoto '11 being slow and unstable. Before being forced to "upgrade" my iPhoto library to accomodate the latest iPhoto update, I saved a copy, with the notion of returning to the previous iteration of iPhoto which always served me well. Has anybody tried this with Lion? I'm also considering going back to Snow Leopard.

I bought a MacPro 2.8 Octo in Jan 08 but have had a few problems in daily use (e.g. using Safari, Mail, EyeTV (often recording to HD at the same time - but problem remains when EyeTV is off), Word '08, iTunes - on average 6+ open at anyone time).When I do normal day to day stuff there is often a long lag/crashes (Safari crashes the most). Things like Finder take a longer time than on other Macs I've tried (.e.g 07 Macbook & iMac) to load quick previews.
On www.retouchartists.com speed test it took 3 times as long as an older MacPro Intel Xeon 4x2.66 with the same setup of 2gb RAM and factory HD, so it IS slow right?Is it becase I have no extra RAM? (I have kept it at 2gb as it came when bought)Is it that the HD that comes with is slow (or so I've read?)?Or it because I need to reinstall Leopard?Don't get me wrong, I love this beast, I just am having troubles when I'm doing daily stuff.

Whenever I try and open iPhoto, a message saying 'the application iPhoto quit unexpectedly'. I have googled this phrase and found a string from a user with similar problem on this forum.
http://macosx.com/tech-support/mac/iphoto/4681.html
Unfortunately, I tried all the suggestions in this string including multiple reinstallations from the bundled software disc of the software but nothing works. I've tried repairing permissions, deleting the file com.apple.iphoto.plist in preferences. I've deleted and recreated the iphoto folder in Pictures etc. I am using a MacBook Pro which is 6 months old. The only thing that I can think off is that a while back I uninstalled various bundled software packages that came with Mac OS X that I thought I wouldn't need to free up disc space. I can't remember which ones unfortunately however I can't see why this would affect iPhoto if I've reinstalled it and updated it. I don't want to reinstall Mac OS X by the way.

Every time I hit the slideshow button on iPhoto '09, I get the spinning rainbow wheel and then the app will eventually crash. This is very frustrating. Is anyone else having this problem with the new iLife version as well? Can you test for me using a large photo album that this might be happening to other users too? I refuse to believe that my MBP can't handle it.

So I just put a new WD 750GB HD into my 2006 white Macbook. (Core Duo 2.0 Gigahertz, 2 GB RAM, 10.4.11 OS X). Everything seems to be working fine, but for some reason iPhoto crashes incessantly. I tried rebuilding the iPhoto library and while it can rebuild the thumbnails, when it gets to rebuilding the actual library it crashes. I can't get anything off of my iPhone. What's the deal?(iPhoto 6.0.6)
PS Trying to reinstall iPhoto as I type this.

I have a macbook pro MAC OS x and have started having issues with my computer's screen going black while working in iphoto. The only thing I can do is to press the power button to power down and then reboot. My memory is fine on the computer. All updates have been completed. Best I can tell, this only occurs while using iphoto.

I am currently running Mavericks 10.9.4 and iPhoto 8.1.2 on my MacBook.Â
I'm waaay behind on organizing my pictures unfortunately, so I haven't worked in iPhoto for a while. When I try to export pictures to the computer it "quits unexpectedly". Hmmm, maybe I should see if there's an update. OK, so the only option it gives me is to spend $14.99 for iPhoto 9.5.1?!?!?Â
No more free upgrades for something I already own?

I am having so many problems since I downloaded it. My iTunes won't connect to my Apple TV, the mouse continually stops working, iPhoto crashes all the time, and everything is so much slower! I can't stand it! Why hasn't Apple put out a fix?

After installing a bunch of updates; inluding iPhoto, iTunes and iMovie; the culprit seems to be the Thunderbolt thing. After the installation a message came up that none of the updates could be installed. There's only a Restart-Button — that doesn't restart the iMac. The screen has its grey login background and the Mac is stalled. About 10 minutes later I turned off the iMac and then turned it back on again. What lead to an instant Kernel Panic. I then reinstalled Lion from the Recovery HD, installed all the updates; which included two restarts that performed fine. In the final session there are the iPhoto and iMovie updates — and the Thunderbolt thing. Downloading and installing seems to work fine; but then I get the above mentioned message AGAIN.

Bought and downloaded iWork '09 March 8 from authorised Apple reseller in Hong Kong, used it for a week. loaded software onto white MacBook 13'' 2.16Gz. machine is now 7 months out of the standard 1-year warranty (meaning I've owned the machine for 1 year and 7 months). Apple Auto Update cued update for iWork '09 (Pages, Numbers) on March 13, which I authorised for it to download. Left and came back to computer, which does not turn on. Tried resetting PRAM, SRAM, doesn't work - completely crashed, light next to IR port does not turn on, battery does not charge, but power adapter lights up green when connected. Went to CASE, in Mongkok (Hong Kong), over the weekend.
3rd party service contractor of AppleCare HK, which takes care of hardware problems. The counter rep said it will cost me HK$600 (US$100) just to examine the problem because the machine is out of warranty. I kicked up a fuss. he finally gave it a cursory look, say something is wrong with logic board and says they will have to charge me HK$10,000 (US$1,200 = which equals new aluminum MacBook) to fix it. But they said i should wait to speak to a Customer Service rep on Monday to see what more could be done. So I went home, took out the hard drive and put it into an external hard drive (SATA) case. Over USB, backed up my critical user files onto another macbook. There were "stop signs" overlaid my file folder icons, I clicked on them, opened them up, transferred these files onto another external drive.
I returned original hard drive into unbootable macbook (apparently this should have fixed it), did not try to power up one last time (see below). Called up AppleCare Customer Service on Monday (see below); they were helpful. At CASE (AppleCare's 3rd party contractor), technician pushed power button and to my utter amazement, the computer turns on. screen shows the machine was just about to restart - it was stuck on Apple Update, which has just finished downloading for iWork 09. The technician says actually I am the second person to have this problem - the other person was installing updates for iLife '09. Technician also says this has never happened before iLife or iWork 09.

After updating my system to 10.7.4, the flash plugin crashes in both Safari and Firefox. Videos don;t so much as start. I reverted back to 10.7.3 with time machine and flash workes fine again. Reinstalled the update, and broken again. Safari and Firefox are all up to date as well as the flash plugin. All caches have been cleared. Based on info I have gotten from this and other forums, I have checked all the settings in the flash system preferences.Â

My Macbook Pro was updated with a Thunderbolt/networkadapter Update. When restart was performed, the MBP hangs during reboot and nothing happend. I started lion recovery, but nothing happend. The download was interrupted. When I ran disk check, my volume wasn' t found. So I had to delete it and (!!!!!) install OS X SL (!!!) Can I reload my purchased OS X lion? This happend right after the keynote from WWDC 2012. So APPLE wants me to buy the new MBP?I am a little bit worried now: SL installation last for an hour. And on the screen it says ".Only 30 minutes left".

On my Macbook pro, it starts up, "optimizes movies" and then 5 seconds later crashes. It has never done this before which is why it must have something to do with the recent update (installed in the last week)

I downloaded the newest version of itunes 11.4 on 9/10/14.
The update has slowed down the itunes program so that I constantly get the spinning wheel when I move around the program to various podcasts and music selections. Several times the program has crashed.Â
I went into Utilities and opened the console and it says numerous times
" iTunes[680]: Failed to create replacement string"Â
also:

can someone help as my girlfriend and me are both new to Mac's She was trying to clean up her photo folders after copying some over from her old PC, and in doing so deleted ALL her photo�s to the trash and then emptied the trash! iphoto would not load because it said there was no library. after downloading some software we could scan the HD and extract all the jpeg files to an external HD, then we could copy them back into the iphoto library! The problem is that most of the time when she is using iphoto and starts editing a photo it will run VERY slow. I am wandering if i can put the iLife 09 DVD in her iMac and reinstall it??? And will that do anything like deleting existing photo�s / music? Like i said we are both new to Mac�s and i still haven�t got my head round the file system from my old PC
