Troubleshooting: My iPhoto ’11 is hanging up

by | Oct 5, 2011

If you’re getting a spinning beach ball when you open iPhoto ’11 and have to Force Quit, here’s how to solve the problem:

Open up Image Capture in your Applications folder. Plug in your camera, iPhone, or iPad.

In the lower left corner, there’s a drop-down that says, “Connecting this [camera] opens….” Make sure iPhoto is the choice.

Quit Image Capture, eject your camera/iPhone/iPad, and restart your computer.

That should do the trick!
