Every time I click on one of the thumbnails of a picture it always goes to the screen like its loading it but it never can or will. It does that will every picture not just a certain group. Help?

Try updating the firmware. Wipe the thing clean, then re-sync. If that doesn't work, sucks to be you!

Hmm. From your thread title, you're saying that this has 'never' worked for you. I think you may be missing a concept here about how iPhoto works. I'm not sure what you mean about the image 'loading'. Are you importing images? Are you trying to edit the photo or just see it at a larger size?

If it's the later, try this:

Highlight a thumbnail of a photo in iPhoto and then move the slider (in the lower right-hand side of the window) all the way to the right. Does this solve your problem?

I may be way off, but I think you need to clarify a bit.

zman, you didn't try to rename any of the picture files in your library did you?

Or move your library?

Um Ya i did rename some pictures but it always still worked. IT wasn't until recently that this started to happen. And for some people that didn't understand my simple question I am trying to open a picture, not import, or anything else. I em just trying to open the picture up. You know double click on the little thumbnails

Well, when you double click on a thumbnail *in* iPhoto, it either opens edit mode, an edit window, or opens the photo in another editing program (like Photoshop). You don't double click a thumbnail just to view it, because you're already viewing it at whatever scale you have the slider set to. Maybe you've got iPhoto set to open an editing program that isn't there?
