Another iPhoto 6 bug

Amusing but yet another iPhoto 6 bug (6.0.2). Boy, does this program need some work.
I created a new library, set alias on so it loads from my iView MediaPro layout, and am busy importing. In the information tab on the bottom left, it tells me its busy importing 1595 photos with a total size of 15066192772 GB. I wish.
iBook 14" 1.42   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   1.5GB

Paul:
Did it finish loading the iView files? If so check the size at the bottom. If it's still incorrect and extremely large try rebuilding the library, launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed, follow the instructions to rebuild the library, while selecting only the database option. That may clear up the problem.
I didn't note the size when I was importing my iView collection but iPhoto does reports the correct size now.

  • New library, yet another iphoto bug

    I created a new library yesterday. I am doing one each month to make it easy for iPhoto as it is so buggy and horrible now. 
    I am using iphoto library manager as suggested on this community to swap between libraries as needed and it works fairly well.
    However, I am now in a situation where there appears to be 'leakage' from one library to another.
    I transferred 60 new photos to a newly created library.  The sidebar says Photos (60)
    but if I click on Photos and then start looking through them it says 3 of 82 and so on and other photos appear which I have definitely not put in this new library, seemingly at random.
    Is this a iphoto libary problem, or a general iphoto problem.? Any thoughts most welcome always.  Joanna

    My original Iphoto library has almost 14000 photos in it. I was advised not to run such a big library and to have smaller ones.
    Iphoto is good for 250,000 images. So, assuming you have sufficent hard disk space, I think you can declare yourself mis-informed
    However If I select any one photo and double click it so that it fills the screen, then a different number appears in the top right in the black menu bar that says Photos to the left and to the right it says something like 86 of (no of photos)  The two numbers don't match up.
    On the left, the number after the word Photos is the total number of items in the Library. The numer at top right is the number of images in the particular event. Thay said, I've not found iPhoto especially accurate at counting in any version.
    Furthermore, if I click through the photos in this view, I can view photos which I know I have not added to that library but are in another library. I cannot see those photos if I am in the Photos sidebar view but only if I click through using the left and right arrows in the menubar in info/edit mode or whatever it is call
    Right click on one of these images and choose 'Show Event' -  Where does that take you?
    I had that problem with the keywords which added themselves to each and every photo, and there are lots of inconsistencies with the Faces thing when the programme insists that one face has two faces and wants me to name them both, overlapping, but I can ignore that, but this particular thing is making me very confused.
    Sounds like your database file is corrupted.
    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. .

  • I have iPhoto 11 on my macbook. I want to export photos to another iPhoto library on an external hard drive. How can I do this.

    I have run out of space on my internal hard drive on my macbook and I want to create another iPhoto library on an external hard drive using most of the photographs already on the hard drive.
    I did this easily on an old G4 mac and an old version of iphoto. I simply imported the photographs from the library already on the hard drive to the new library I created on the external hard drive.
    It does not seem to be possible to do the same thing using iPhoto 11.
    I have no idea where to find the files on the mac to do it the more direct way by just importing the files.
    Any ideas?

    Here's one way to do what you want:
    1. Quit iPhoto.
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
    Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them:  Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
    Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
    A couple of comments:
    a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.
    c: Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

  • How to transfer pics from 1 library to another iPhoto

    How can I transfer pics from one iPhoto library to another iPhoto library, without having duplicated the space on the harddrive?
    Will the space (GB) duplicate when I copy the pics from one library into the other and delte the 1st one or will it stay the same?
    please help!
    rewards given!

    Hello,
    I think this is likely what you want...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
    When done you should occupy just one space, but be sure you have a backup if it's important.

  • BT Cloud, another curious bug

    Another curious bug to add the the BT Cloud chamber of horrors.
    BT Cloud somehow decided on the Web Interface that my main device contained two separate top levels, 'D' and 'd'.
    Most things I had backed up from my D drive showed up under 'D', with just a few under 'd'.
    On the PC client, everything showed up under 'd'.
    The extra 'd' was a bit irritating on the web interface, and none of the files saved in it was significant, and so I decided to delete it in the web interface.  
    Result:
    1: 'd' correctly deleted in the web interface  (they seem to have fixed the bug where you couldn't delete folders in the web interface)
    2: 'd' deleted from what shows up in the PC client.  As the PC client never showed anything under 'D' but everything under 'd', when I look at my main device it now shows 'This folder does not contain any files.'
    3: All the files still showing up correctly under 'D' on the web interface
    4: PC client still knows what it is trying to back up from the D drive:
      - the auto-backup folders show up correctly when I look in 'Add to Backup' (usability bug: 'Add to Backup' doesn't admit to what path it thinks they are from)
      - it correctly backs up new files added to these auto-backup folders
      - it still knows about the backed up files if I look under 'All Files'; and remembers correctly what directory they came from. (usability bug: but not easy for the user to see what directory they came from)
    5: No files actually deleted from my PC.
    I don't trust BT Cloud at all yet, so I am only experimenting and waiting till it is ready as a backup solution.  Meanwhile, all my files are backed up elsewhere.  I didn't trust BT Cloud not to make an even bigger silly and delete lots of my original files; I trust it even slightly less now.
    BT Cloud still has the makings of something that might be useful eventually, so I still keep hoping and trying ....

    Hi Sjtp,
    Thanks for the feedback.  I will make sure the cloud team get this useful info.
    Cheers

  • Exporting a Calendar and Photos to a another iPhoto library

    Hi,
    I would like to export a calendar I made previously to another iPhoto library to continue working on it. Any ideas ?
    Thanks,
    Cedric
    (iPhoto from iLife'08, Leopard)

    Cedric
    Unfortunately you cannot do this. A Calendar (or Book) is simply a listing in the iPhoto database file, and there is no way to export it to another Library. If you want to move it to another machine you will need to move the entire iPhoto Library.
    It might be easier to move the pics you require to the iPhoto with the Calendar using iPhoto Library Manager

  • Major iPhoto bug - TIFFs compressed and overwritten

    I just sent this bug report to Apple. I want it to be known. It is tested and discussed in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1342564&tstart=0
    In version 7.1.1, TIFF files are processed into Canon Raw files when setting the date and time using Photos > Batch Change and possibly also with Photos > Adjust Date & Time. The criterion is that you have "Modify original files" checked.
    These Raw files are much smaller than the original TIFFs! During experimenting, 12MB TIFFs were overwritten by 400KB files! 42MB TIFFs by 1 to 2MB files!
    This happens regardless whether the photos are copied into the iPhoto Library or not. So if not, the original files are modified and there is NO BACKUP!
    Another issue is that the files keep the extension .tif in the Finder. Adobe also maintains that they are TIFFs. iPhoto only unveils them as being Canon Raw images when reimporting! So there is no way of telling until you check. By then it's already done, and quite irreversibly.
    This should not be possible. Those working with TIFF files are usually people who want to preserve their uncompressed originals at all times. For me, this bug is really a shock! If this function is here to stay, iPhoto should at least warn the user what happes if "Modify original files" is checked.

    With the amount of people on these discussion boards saying that their iPhoto Library has vanished, I presumed the trouble lay in iPhoto.
    Not necessarily.  Maybe there are 100 reporting the problem.  That's insignificant when compaired to the number using iPhoto without a problem.  Judging iPhoto by what you read here in the forum where only those with problems post is like judging the health of a city by what you observe in the Emergency Room of one of its hospitals.

  • Importing keywords from one iPhoto library to another iPhoto library

    I start a new iPhoto library at the beginning of every year. I've made a collection of keywords in the previous years library that I would like to import into the new iPhoto library. I've tried assigning all of the keywords to one picture, exporting it from the old library and importing it to the new library, but it didn't take the keywords with it. Is there anyway to import this keyword list so that I don't have to recreate it?
    Thanks,
    Claire

    Claire
    You're on the right track, but you'll need iPhoto Library Manager to do it. It's the only way to move files from one library to another while maintaining metadata. So, assign all the keywords to one pic, then transfer it to the new library using iPLM. It's a $20 shareware, and all round good app. You can read about it here:

  • Import events from another iPhoto library?

    I recently went on vacation, and took my laptop with. During the trip I downloaded the photos from our camera's SD cards, but did not delete the photos, so we had a backup on the laptop and on the cameras. The events came in with no issues to the laptop. They're nicely organized and I have properly lablled them so we know what is form where...
    When I got home I took the SD cards and downloaded the photos to my Desktop Mac, but it was a different story. It downloaded the photos from the SD cards, but duplicated numerous events and made it very hard to orgaize.
    For example one event is labelled "July 32, 2012' and another "July 23-24, 2012". The latter consists of all the photos from the earlier event plus two photos taken on the 24th.
    I have confirmed that iPhoto did indeed duplicate the downloads, by searching for and finding the original JPG files with the find command in Terminal:
    find ./ -name DSCN1219* -print
    .//Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2012/07/28/20120728-141002/DSCN1219.JPG
    .//Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2012/07/28/20120728-164601/DSCN1219.JPG
    This is the same photo.
    What I'd like to do is just delete all the events from my Desktop and simply import the much better organized events from my laptop. Both are running the same version of iPhoto.

    If you want to move Events, plus all associated metadata and versions then you'll need to use
    iPhoto Library Manager for the job.
    If you have the most recent versions of iPhoto and Aperture you can also do this via Aperture.

  • IPhoto Bug - Every time try to change date, date moves back 100 years

    You will like this bug. Somehow an incorrect date was entered on the videos in iPhoto. Now, we try to enter a correct date of 2/1/2011 using iPhoto->Photos->Adjust Date Time and the dates just keep going back approximately 100 years. Currently, the date shows June 3, 1221!
    We can't set the date on our videos.
    I just tried again, and now the date shows May 16th, 1153.
    Bummer, huh?

    I friend of mine had the same problem and ask me for a solution. I conclude that when you ask to adjust date and time, iPhoto calculates the number of seconds that each picture has to be adjusted with. That number of seconds is stored in an 32bits signed integer variable, which means that the maximum numbers of seconds we can store is 2,147,483,647, which corresponds to 68 years, 35 days, 3 hours, 14 minutes and 7 seconds. If the adjustment you are trying to do is smaller than that, it will work, if it's bigger the result would be uncertain. There is an easy solution to that problem, but is Apple that has to implement it by changing the 32bits variable that stores those seconds to a 64 bits one.

  • Have i found another big bug? from 2nd monitor profile bug to Exp panel bug

    Well 2.0.1 is out and i was hoping for a fix for the second monitor color profile bug ... but no, not yet.
    But guess what .. i think i have found another little treat.
    Ok here we go, click on the Exposure, Recovery or Black Point sliders (but don't move them), notice anything?
    On my system as soon as you click, the shadows block up. Take your finger of the button and they shadows go back to normal.
    Next .. click and slide, when the button is down... blocked shadows again, release the button and shadows open up.
    This also happens in the White balance panel.
    Also we still have the tint slider problem, click it and it jumps the tint.
    The exposure and white balance problem only happens in full screen mode.
    It happens on my second monitor when running in mirror or alternate (or any other of the settings)
    If i press the F key and go full screen on my macbook pro, the same thing happens on the macbook's screen.
    Press the Z key to zoom to 100% and the problem goes away on either screen.
    But get this ..... click any of the sliders in the Enhance panel before going to the Exposure panel (you don't have to move them), then go back to the exposure panel and...EVERYTHING FINE.....whaaaaaaat.
    So now i have a second monitor with dodgy colors and an exposure panel glitch.
    Thought this was an update!!!
    Anyone else got this problem?
    Oh, just to add, i have deleted pref files, deleted aperture altogether, re-installed 2.0 and 2.0.1, rebuilt library, tried on another library...all with no joy.
    Sigh

  • Another Minor Bug in SQLDev

    I discovered another minor irritant in sqlDeveloper.
    Steps to recreate the bug:
    1) Create table t ( n1 number); (table created)
    2) insert into t values (1); Commit; (Record Committed)
    3) Goto Explorer on the left pane and click on the table to view the table t on the right (table will be displayed with a single column); Click on the data tab to view the data.
    4) Alter table t add (n2 binary_float); (Table modified)
    5) insert into t values (10, 10); Commit; (record committed)
    6) click on refresh button to view the data.
    You would expect to see two columns and two rows of record. But you would see only one column and two rows of data.
    7) click on columns tab and click on the refresh button. (Two columns are displayed).
    8) now go back to data tab; you would still see only ONE column and two records. Clicking on refresh does not display two columns
    Only alternative is to close the tab and click on the table t again. You can now view the records with two columns
    Version: 2.1.1.64
    OS: Linux
    Database: 11g
    -- rsrini

    I am having a similar problem in 2.1.063.10. When I put in a filter I need to use the enter key and not the refresh button. Nothing happens to the data grid when I hit refresh button. When I enter a filter that causes no data to display, then blank out the filter and hit the refresh button, no data is displayed in the grid. Then I hit enter and the data grid is refreshed.

  • IMovie 09 voiceovers silent - another iMovie09 bug

    Hello,
    in addition to all the iMovie bugs reported, I now observe from time to time, that iMovie changes volume of the latest voiceovers on its own. I did the following:
    1. I changed some things in my iMovie project. Especially I added some voiceovers.
    2. I closed iMovie
    3. I made a backup copy to another drive
    4. I re-opened iMovie again
    Result: Some voiceovers are randomly very very silent and the volume an not be changed anymore.
    5. I check my backup copy on another Mac: Same result.
    What happened? Who can support me?
    Apple works always on new fancy stuff, but seems to forget the simple things.
    Jürgen

    Sorry to post again, but I can't find any other post about this problem. Have you found a solution for this. I have the same problem. Can't change the volume of voiceovers in some projects...... but had no problem doing it before.
