2 troubles with iPhoto + NAS

Hello!
I have two problems appeared after moving my iPhoto Library to NAS:
1. It does not import photos from my camera. After opening up previews and selecting "Import All" iPhoto hangs on "Preparing to import". It does not seems to be completely hung, as Force Quit does not show it as "Not Responding", but it ignores any actions.
2. When I select to show random images from iPhoto Library as a desktop wallpaper, it does not show anything at all. If I choose any exact image - everything is ok.
Of course, I have my network disc mounted.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto does not behave properly when not on an OS X Extended formatted hard drive. It's the nature of the beast. Continued use of the library on that server will give it a good chance of getting corrupted with a loss of your organizational effort, i.e. albums, keywords, slideshows, etc.
Change the disk format to OS X Extended, ignore ownership on it, connect it to one of the Macs and all Macs on the network will be able to use the library and it will work as expected regarding desktop images, etc.

  • Having trouble with iphoto, will not print full image

    Having trouble with iphoto on my laptop and desk top computers.  On laptop will not let me print full image and having trouble getting correct rotation to print
    On desk top printing too dark and cannot get correct rotation there either, seems like the problem just started recently

    Ronleedek-
    What App are you using with the microphone?  I've used Skype, which has a "test call" feature to check your microphone.
    There is a good chance your microphone is defective, possibly disconnected inside the iPad.  If an Apple Store Genius can not fix it, you may get a new iPad on the spot.

  • I am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch.

    am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch and leaves a blank white screen box and spinning wheel of death-if I re-install software-will I lose all photos and faces settings? Any ideas-this is a Mac Pro and Xserve school system.
    It seemed to stem from when I was transferring some movie footage from an HD camcorder to iMovie.
    This is a school system and I'm worried I may lose many photos and face recognition data.

    1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
    2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
    FWIW
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
    Alternative approach:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Trouble with iPhoto after latest update for compatibility with RAW-files

    Hi all, I'm having serious trouble with iPhoto since the latest update for compatibility with RAW-files for digital fotocamera's (version 2.4).
    After connection with the camera iphoto starts up as usual and i can start importing my pictures. So far all goes well. After having imported my pictures (visual with thumbs and so one) and having created an event iPhoto isn't able to show any pictures. Stopping and restarting Iphoto gives a message that there are a number of photo's available that havent been imported yet (!!???). I can choose to import or ignore. Whatever i choose i'm not capable of visualising the photo's.
    Anyone with a similar problem and the solution? Can i remove the update?
    I've tried several camera's all with the same problem.
    thx for any replies
    niki001

    Hi Terence, thanks for the reply (i'll wait with the downgrade for now ;-p).
    I made a small step by step report of my findings:
    1. Attach camera to imac
    2. iPhoto starts up with previews of the pictures (so far so good)
    3. Give event-name and start import ( so far so good)
    4. 'Latest Import'-report all fine, previews ok, check with event : previews fine. All seems well
    5. disconnect camera, stop iPhoto. As far as now all seems normal.
    6. Restart iPhoto : Message 'iPhoto Library contains photo's which havent been imported. Import Y/N?'.!!!???
    7. Option Y : IPhoto imports photo's imported in step 3 in a new event box (shown as a 'black box' on screen). Last made event (step 3) shows up as a black square in overview all events. Double click on event gives empty squares where previews should appear. Double click on photo preview gives large explanationmark on screen.
    8. Drag event-box over screen shows thumbs within square, release event returns to 'black box'.
    9. Shut down iPhoto.
    10. Restart iPhoto jumps back to step 6 as long as i keep answering Y.(Each time creating a new extra 'black box event').
    11. When i now look within iPhoto Library i can find a map Import in which i can find back the last imported photo's from step 3.
    12. Dragging these pictures to my desktop (preview gives no problem at all) and from there back in to iPhoto simply recreats a new 'black box event'.
    13. In step 6 option N gives a message 'creat iphoto Library recovered'. In iPhoto Library map Import has disapeared.
    14.When looking into map 'iphoto Library recovered' i can find my originally iported photo's. However same problem as in step 12.
    I used aperture (trial version) to see wether the problem could be photo-related, but here al goes well.
    So, any idea's???
    thx

  • I can't move downloads onto my desktop nor can I move folders around desktop. Have been having trouble with iPhoto also. "Terminal" has shown up on my dock for the first time. I tried repairing using disk utilities.

    I have the same issue-was there ever a solution that worked? Thanks.

  • Trouble with iPhoto and iPhoto library manager.

    I had trouble with my iPhoto constantly crashing, so I downloaded and used iPhoto Library Manager. Now when I am trying to get back to using iPhoto by re-importing my pictures, I keep getting a notification saying there is not enough space on my harddrive. I have spent a long time deleting large and unneccessary files all over my computer, but I am still unable to import my images to the iPhoto library.
    Does anyone have an idea of what I can do? I am starting to get worried that I will never be able to reach my pictures again
    + I have deleted all iPhoto iPod caches or whatever they're called based on recommendation from many sites.

    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

  • Macbook pro 13" i7 and trouble with iphoto and finder

    Hi, I've just bought last week the new macbook pro 13" i7.
    I've just replaced the HDD for an SSD Intel 510 Series 120Go and it works very well !!!
    But since yesterday when I've plugged my EOS 450D in order to transfer some photos... The problem is that I've a bug with iphoto: when I want to empty the trash (from iphoto), it doesn't work, photos are again in the trash, or when I look some picture it bugs !!!
    At this moment iphoto doesn't run correctly, you know like when the "mouse" is searching all the time !!! Just after the finder and another soft bug... but not all the the time.
    This trouble appears too in the menu: "files" appears with less word or "photos" or "event"...
    So I've re install OSX since Time machine but nothing.
    I've re install the original HDD but always the same !!!
    I've empty the RAM with "cmd+alt+P+R" but always the same...
    I've re install OSX with CD but nothing.
    Problem with graphic card ? with RAM ? Motherboard ?
    I don't think that it is th SSD because I've the same problrm with the original HDD.
    I don't understand the macbook is new.
    I need some help please.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Trouble with iPhoto Library Updater

    I've read all the posts on this subject but can't find my problem. When I run the Library Updater, the libraries I want to open are greyed out. If I click on a library on the desktop, it tells me I have to install the updater. I'm stumped!

    I did not sent you the email.  It was automatically sent by the ASC forum.  That is an image that I added but then delete from my last post before posting.  How it got in the email is anyone's guess.
    The contents of that folder appear to be normal for an iPhoto 6 library.  You should be able to launch the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 with the Option key held down, navigate to that folder and select it for updating.
    You are saying that that  the iPhoto Italy2 library folder is grayed out in the upgrader's window?  How is the volume MEDIA formatted.  It must be OS X Extended (journaled) for iPhoto or the upgrader to work.  If that volume is not formatted correctly move the folder to your boot drive and try from there.

  • Trouble with iPhoto recently.

    First, it has taken to hanging after a minute or so as it tries to "sync albums with Facebook". Then I lost all my thumbnails. I rebuilt everything at least once, got most thumbnails back, except the ones associated with RAW files. Nothing seems to bring them back. Any suggestions?

    I bet I corrupted my library by force quitting iPhoto after all the numerous hangs.
    That would explain what you're seeing.

  • Trouble with Iphoto

    Why can I only transfer one photo at a time from iPhoto to a flash drive or CD?

    Because you're doing it wrong? Seriously what help can we give you...
    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Trouble with iPhoto Buddy

    Based on earlier good advise, I loaded iPhoto Buddy and tried to use it to create a new library on an external device. Here's the scenario:
    1- Created a new folder on external drive using Finder
    2- Used iPhoto to export all pictures to the new folder. This worked an exported 3126 photos, which is the correct number.
    3- Shut down iPhoto.
    4- Used Finder to investigate new library. It looked ok and contained a "large" number of jpeg entries.
    5- Started iPhoto Buddy and used the "+" sign to point to the new library and added it to the list.
    6- Used Buddy to launch iPhoto pointing to the new library. No photots found
    7- Then, in desparation, used Buddy to point to original library and used import pointing to the new library. It started up and it tried to import some 9000+ entries, which included dupes, deletes and other garbage.
    So, do I push (export) from original library to new, or pull (import) in new library from old?
    I am mystified and know that the solution is simple if not elusive. Can someone help?

    karlsmac:
    Where were the photos located in the new library? If you didn't launch the new library and import those exported photos then that's the reason you don't see any photo in the new library.
    You need to move those image files out of the new libraray folder to a folder on the desktop. Then open the new library and drag the folder of image files into the open iPhoto window.
    However, if you would like to have the rolls and/or albums that those photos are in be carried over to the new library along with the keywords and comments then here's how you can do that.
    1 - add all of those photos you want to transfer to an album in the old library.
    2 - download and run iPhoto Library Manager to add both of those libraries to iPLM's window.
    3 - set iPLM's Photo coyping preferences as shown here.
    4 - in iPLM copy that album from your current library to the new one like you see the roll being copied in this screenshot video.
    That will put those photos into the new library in the same rolls as they were in the original library. Then you can add additional rolls/albums is desired as time goes on.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • PHD troubled with iPhoto Library

    Hi All. I am using Leopard server v. 10.5.4, my client end users have MacBooks (35 total) with Leopard 10.5.4 and sync every eight minutes. The computers are connected via Airport Extreme BS w/ common SSIDs and often do not rejoin the "preferred" network upon awakening. A few machines, either connecting for the first time on a given day or a restart after loosing the connection to the server are getting the dialog box asking (iPhoto Library) where is or which one do you want to keep? We are finding that there is also an occasional application duplicated on the desktop following a login and a long sync. There has been, not only 2 or more copies of the iPhoto Library, but copies of the same duplicated (ex: iPhoto Library_3-network) a network copy. I am asking some insight here as to what can cause these anomalies? This is the first year I've tried using PHD, and it's beginning to wear me down. Thanks, J Langlois

    Check page 72 of John DeTroye's Tips and Tricks v14 for iPhoto issues w/ PHD.

  • Why am I having trouble with iphoto?

    Can someone walk me through opening iphoto?

    So iPhoto opens but the photos are not showing up.  That's a different problem altogether. Try the following:  make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
