iOS Build a Blog Reader iPhone App Viewing a Web Page Navigation Controller

My Xcode 6.1 is crashing when I click on the Storyboard file. I'm running the public release of Yosemite.

I've tried clicking on the Storyboard of other apps - and they've all worked thus far. This project is the only project that does't open yet. (I'm at the Navigation section of the Reader app in the Objective C training). I click on the storyboard file and then I get the pinwheel of death. It takes up all of my memory (running the fall 2013 macbook pro with 16GB ram....so it's not the computer.) I've tried closing out all of the other applications on my computer too and it makes absolutely zero difference. I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening. Any suggestions?

It could be a bug or your derived data folder could be full. Do this. Navigate to your home folder, the one with the house symbol. On the toolbar at the top of the screen, click view > Show View Options On View Options at the bottom click 'Show Library Folder' After that navigate to the library folder > Developer > Xcode > Derived Data Delete everything in that folder.

I just tried that and it had no effect. Any other ideas or things to try? This is SO weird.

I had the same problem, but I worked around it (I guess I'm learning something) by deleting the MainStoryboard.storyboard file and recreating it again from scratch. It took some effort to figure everything out, but that was a good review as all the necessary steps are discussed in the videos somewhere.
