My iphoto just hangs. Any help available?

Have you checked apple.com? I had problems with iTunes on my old laptop, and it was because not doing the updates finally caught up with me.

maybe creating a new library ? so hold Alt on startup, create a new library, see what that does, if it works, drag the content of your old library over to the new one

good luck !

Hold down command-option as iPhoto starts up. You’ll then be able to rebuild your iPhoto Library. (Note that holding down option allows you to choose different libraries at startup.)
