Bugs I've Found in iPhoto Version 8.0.1

1) Select a group of photos in an event.
2) Click the italic "i" in the lower left hand corner to bring up the info window.
3) Try to assign a place from your own list of My Places. It won't pop up.
4) Try to get New Place to pop up, you can kind of force it by highlight the text and hit the delete key to get the new place to pop up.
5) Type the name of the place in the Google Search and if it's not an address, you get either the wrong place, no place or a lot of places from Google's database of businesses that buy AdWords. Try Montauck, Long Island for example and it can't find it. Likewise, Grant Park, Chicago.
6) If you can somehow get it to pop up the list of previously assigned places, the names you typed for those places aren't in the list. Everything says New Place.
7) I can only edit the top line of the place description. The bottom smaller second line comes from Google and can't be edited. Frequently, it's simply WRONG. For example, Healdsburg, CA has a second line that says Petaluma, a different city 20 miles away.
8) Zoom in on Terrain view, drop a pin, and switch to satellite view. The zoom level changes and doesn't stay the same.
9) No easy way to go to my database of places and edit it, or delete places.
10) The only way to get detailed street names is in Hybrid view. There is no MAP view that has all the street names. Terrain view only has major roads.
11) No way to delete an EVENT, for photos I want to stay in my library but be in an album and not an event. Can't get rid of the event intuitively. You worry if you delete the photos from the event to get an empty event (which I think will make the event go away) there is a persistent fear that your are deleting the actual photos from the library. Far better to highlight an EVENT and press delete; you are then deleting the EVENT but not the photos in the event.
Was this software beta tested? Seems like they had a pre-assigned release date to hit and the software wasn't ready. This version is of beta quality, not release quality. Please, Apple, get some beta testers and fix these bugs soon. There are way too many bugs in the new features of iPhoto. Faces is pretty good, but Places is very very poorly executed so far. The concept is great, especially once I replace my camera with one that has GPS. (But even my iPhone photos are not geo-tagged on export . . . why is that??)

Well there’s no point in posting that list here. Apple aren’t here. This is a User to User forum and Apple do not promise to read anything here. To communicate with Apple try
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
But do this please. The more folks complain the better the chances that your concerns will be addressed.
However: This is not a bug
11) No way to delete an EVENT, for photos I want to stay in my library but be in an album and not an event.
This is absolutely intended behaviour. Events are simply a view of your Library. Every photo must be in the Library, so every photo must be in an Event. So, to be available for use in an Album the photos must be visible in both the Library views: Events and Photos. This has been the case since Rolls back in iPhoto 1, every pic had to be in a Roll, and rolls are just a view of the Library.
Can't get rid of the event intuitively.
Just trash the photos therein.
You worry if you delete the photos from the event to get an empty event (which I think will make the event go away) there is a persistent fear that your are deleting the actual photos from the library.
You’re right to worry: you are.
Far better to highlight an EVENT and press delete; you are then deleting the EVENT but not the photos in the event.
This is never the case. Delete and Event, you delete the contents.
As to why your photos are not geo-tagged on export, are you checking the option to Include Location Information?

  • Bug in LV8 : 'Save for previous version' and 'Write to Binary File' VI

    Hello
    I am using LabVIEW 8's revamped 'Write to Binary File' VI with a 'TRUE' boolean constant wired to the optional 'prepend array or string size?' to write non-trivial structures to a binary file. I then read the file with the 'Read from Binary File' VI and everything is fine. I don't wire anything to the 'file (use dialog)' input (don't know if this can help).
    However, after saving my VI for LabVIEW 7.1, I cannot read the binary files created with the LV7 version of the VI anymore. After examining the LV7 converted version of the VI, there is a 'FALSE' boolean constant that is wired to the equivalent of the 'prepend array or string size' input, which breaks the binary format that is expected.
    The attached files are LV8 and 'saved for LV7' versions of a dummy VI that writes an array of 5 integers into a binary file. To test the bug, start LV8, open the LV8 version, run it and create a 'test-lv8.bin' file, then open the LV7 version, run it and create a 'test-lv7.bin' file. Check the content of the two files : the size of the array is indeed missing from the 'test-lv7.bin' file, which can be assimilated as a bug in my opinion.
    I think I found another one too : if in LV8 I wire the 'cancelled' boolean output of the 'Open/Create/Replace file' to the selector of a case structure, the 'converted to LV7' version VI will have an error, saying the Case Structure selector is not wired.
    Could someone please confirm these are indeed bugs ?
    Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

    I'm using LV8.6 and need to read a .bin file created in MATLAB. This file obviously does not contain the 4 byte header that LabVIEW prepends .bin files with. So when I use Read from Binary File, I get no data (I'm trying to read an array of doubles). I've tried making my .bin file both in native and big-endian format and changing the representation (double, int64, float64) but none of this works. I noted that if I create the same array in a .bin file in LabVIEW and wire a FALSE to the "prepend array or string size?", my VI for reading .bin files can't read this file either.
    Any work-arounds here?
    (I'll try attaching my write & read VI's)

  • IPhoto version 9.4.3 update procedure is not responding.

    Hi,
    I have a problem concerning a normal software update. I have a MacBook Pro runnig OS X 10.8.3 (12D78).
    Two days ago i got a normal message telling that there is an update available for a new verson of iPhoto (9.4.3)
    Everything went as normal to the point when it had downloaded 1,12 GT / 1,12Gt. Since then has nothing happened. The update procedure has been frozen and now i don't have any access to my iPhoto because it says that IPhoto can not be opened while updating...
    This has been going on now for two days and i wonder if there are any information available of this problem and if there are any solution to solve the problem.
    For me it seems that there is a bug in the update procedure which courses the program freeze..
    I would appreciate any information to solve the problem...

    Ok. Now I finally succeeded to update the iPhoto from a testaccount which i made for this purpose.
    The updated iPhoto works fine also from my own account...
    But the Launchpad on my own account still thinks that iPhoto must be udated. The size of the package on my side is bigger (1,12Gt) when it was on the testaccount side something about 750Mb..
    I followed the instructions of Launchpad and it started to download the package. I interrupted the download and decited to ask your opinion... Should i continue the download or is there a way to reset the update..
    What if it freezes again at the same point...
    I checked the iPhoto version of my account and it is the latest and the same which was allready updated from the testaccount.

  • I have a problem when updated the new release of iphoto version(11 jun 2012). After that I cannot open any photo libraries and program is error.

    I have a problem when updated the new release of iphoto version(11 jun 2012). After that I cannot open any photo libraries and program is error. I must to force quit iphoto window. There are any fixed bug update.

    If you have no photos:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and start.

  • I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

    I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
    I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
    Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
    Thank you,

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    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.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • How can i view and upload photos from an older version of iPhoto which are on an external hard drive to my new iMac?  i currently have copied the application version 9.4.2. on my lacie backup and want to view and upload this to my new iPhoto version 9.5.1

    our old iMac died suddenly, but i had backed up the iPhoto application to a lacie external hard drive.   however, when i try to open it in my new iMac which is installed with version 9.5.1 and is upgraded to maverick, it comes up with “cannot be opened, to open you must upgrade to latest version” and then makes you press the quit button.
    the iPhoto version on the external hard drive is iPhoto 9.4.2 which i upgraded on 29/11/12 onto our old iMac (early 2007 version)
    my new iMac is running on version OSX 10.9.1
    i have looked at buying  iphoto library manager and have emailed them about whether this would work, but any advice would be gratefully received as i cannot be the only person that has had this problem but i cannot find any answers that work.
    thanks
    Julie

    YOu can rebuild with Library Manager and this does not require a purchase:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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 cannot open iPhoto after upgrading latest apple updates.  Getting a message latest iPhoto version is not available in the US

    MacBook pro, 8GB,  OSX Yosemite
    I cannot open iPhoto after latest apple upgrade.  Getting message latest iPhoto version is not available in the US.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • I have a Mac Book Pro with iPhoto version 9.5.1 Can I delete more that one photo at a time?  Thanks!!

    I have Mac Book Pro with iPhoto version 9.5.1.  Is there a way to delete more than one photo at a time?  Thanks!!!

    Hi LarryJackie,
    When you go into Photos (or an Album or Event), click on the first photo you want to delete. If you want to delete a whole selection of photos in a row, hold down the Shift key, and then click on the last photo in the section you want to delete. All of the photos will be selected. Then click on Photos in the top menu and click on Move to Trash.
    If you want to select photos that are not in a row, then click on the first photo, then hold down the Command key, then click on other photos you want to select. Keep the Command key held down until you have selected all of the photos you want. Then click on Photos in the top menu and then Move to Trash.
    Cheers,

  • How do I transfer all photos from my Imac, IPhoto version 7.1.5, to another Imac, IPhoto version 9.2, but keep the two sets of photos separate

    How do I transfer all photos from my Imac, IPhoto version 7.1.5, to another Imac, IPhoto version 9.2, but keep the two sets of photos separate

    You need to clarify what you are asking.
    An iphoto installation has two major parts: 1. The application or program - that's the software and 2. The Library - that's where your actual pictures are.
    So when you say:
    I want to keep using the old Iphoto program on the new Imac.  There is already an IPhoto program on the new Imac but I do not want to add or delete from that one.
    It sounds like you want to move the application and not the Library. Most folks want to move the Library, and it makes no sense to have two versions of the application on your mac.

  • What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?

    What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?
    I have just upgraded from Leopard to Lion (via Snow Leopard) because I could no longer order photo calendars with iphoto 7.1.5.  However, I still have iphoto 7.1.5 and need to upgrade this.  From the App store it looks as though I cannot get iphoto 9.5.1 due to the incompatibility with Lion.  I was recemmended not to upgrade beyond Lion due to the age of my iMac computer (2008 version) by Stormfront staff.
    What is the best iphoto to upgrade to and how do I do this e.g. iLife '09 or '11, or are there any other 'stand-alone' versions of iphoto that would be compatible?  How do I know whether my computer is capable of upgrading to Mountain Lion?  I definitely want to be able to make photo calendars, books and cards.
    Thanks

  • List of bugs I've found - 10.5.1

    Hi,
    If I find bugs, do I just post them here? You guys REALLY need a bug tracker. I mean, really... I've been reading a lot of complaints online all over the web about Leopard bugs, and it's really starting to worry me, especially when I see them on Mac forums.
    First, I'm going to list bugs I've found:
    BUG #1: AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION:
    This one is really getting on my nerves. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I have an external drive plugged in. When I click on my base station in finder, I see "Connected As: Guest". When I click on "Connect As" it gives me "Connecting..." then "Connection failed". It seems that it's not even giving me the choice of typing in a user. To resolve the issue I have to reset my base station, but when I try to connect with another computer same thing happens. I need to reliably get to my network drive, and this is getting ridiculous.
    BUG #2: MAIL TO DO LIST:
    Not entirely sure about this one, but to do list items are not showing up in iCalendar. Also, I don't seem to be able to set the alert option. I see it in the list, but I can't do anything with it.
    This might have been a fluke, or fixed in 10.5.1, but at one point when I changed "Date Due" to something like "Today" on accident, I was unable to change it back to "No Date"
    BUG #3: KEYCHAIN MANAGER
    I keep getting unexpected errors when editing, deleting, and even browsing...
    BUG #4: SPACES
    I had some problems with spaces before the update, which I described in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1239958&tstart=0
    Doesn't seem to be a problem now, although I remember it working some point before the update as well... I just thought I'd mention it again just incase it's one of those bugs that crops up every once in a while. Was bugging me all day yesterday.
    BUG #5: DOCK
    This happened today... When I clicked on the application in my dock, whether it was open or not, it would reveal the application in finder. I had to "killall Dock" in finder to reload the dock, and then it worked normally again.
    BUG #6: BOOT
    This may not be a bug, but I consider it to be. There is absolutely no boot progress after the grey apple screen. This is important. Please add it back. If something happens during the boot process that causes it to halt, it would be useful to know about where it got stuck, wouldn't it?
    BUG #7: Quicktime & Minimize
    I haven't tried this yet, but I saw it mentioned on one of the mac forums. I was going to test it, but I can't get into my network drive with all my videos on it, due to one of the most annoying bugs mentioned above.
    Basically what was said is when you minimize a QuickTime window with a video playing, it no longer plays in the dock or stops playing (something to that effect). It's one of the things Steve brought out in one of his keynotes. If this was a "feature" that was removed, why in the heck would you remove something like that?
    Now I'm going to make some suggestions:
    SUGGESTION #1: LIGHTER STACKS
    The "stack" shows every single icon on the dock stacked on top of each other. The way stacks works in itself is very productive for me. But having every single Icon graphically on the dock can be a bit slow. I actually notice it stacking up during boot, which is a bit odd. If you must show every single icon, surely you can cache all the icons stacked on top of each other as a single graphic? That way it uses less memory, and boots up a bit quicker. Or even show just one icon of the users choice. My biggest concern is during boot
    SUGGESTION #2: SPACES, FULL SCREEN GAMES
    Be able to use a space for a full screen game without disrupting it. Would be nice if you could have your game on one space, and switch to another to look something up online.
    SUGGESTION #3: SPACES, MORE HOT KEYS
    There's a hot key for activating the spaces selector. How about being able to switch to a certain space via hot key? Like Command-S-> or Command-S<- or Command-S/\ (user definable). That way, knowing the space I want to go to, I can get to it quickly. I'd like to be able to jump to a space without using my mouse.
    Last thing I want to say... I've read a lot of complaints about features being removed from Tiger... Please look into what users are saying is missing and add them back.
    That's all the comments I have for now... It's a bit late. Maybe I'll have more later on.

    This may not be a bug, but I consider it to be. There is absolutely no boot progress after the grey apple screen. This is important. Please add it back. If something happens during the boot process that causes it to halt, it would be useful to know about where it got stuck, wouldn't it?
    I've never seen the boot progress bar in Leopard, but if you want a more verbose boot sequence just hold down Command+V while your computer starts up.

    I can confirm that videos (at least for me) no longer play while in the Dock.

    I've never really had a problem with that - they update very quickly for me.

That way, knowing the space I want to go to, I can get to it quickly. I'd like to be able to jump to a space without using my mouse.
    Press Ctrl+<number> to switch to a certain space. (ie: Ctrl+5 switches to space 5)
    Also Ctrl+<arrow> will switch to an adjacent space.
    This is all customizable in the Spaces preference pane.
