Editing in iphoto, please help....new to mac

Hi, I need to put text (text boxes) on many of the pics I take for work....I can't seem to do this on iphoto...any suggestions...PLEASE HELP.

evassor:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't do that in iPhoto. You will need to use a 3rd party editor from within iPhoto to accomplish that . Some of those that can do what you want are Photoshop Elements, Seashore (freeware), Graphicconverter and Pixelmator. You can find a number of possible candidates at VersionTracker.com by searching there for "image editor". Here's how you would use a 3rd party editor with iPhoto:
Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.
Happy Holidays
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Please help - New to Mac - File managment.. moving files, folders, deleting

    Hello, I am hoping someone can help me...
    I have just got one of the 24" iMacs at work and I have never worked on Mac before. I am having problems with documents/files.
    I have made new folders in my "documents" folder but I cannot move/drag files into the folders. I also cant delete files from the documents folder.
    I have spent the last 4 hours reading tutorials etc and still can't figure this out. I am guessing it's probably simple... but I just can't seem to find the answer.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    There are two documents folders. One shared among all user and a personal documents folder.
    To get to the system folder you double click on the machintosh hd. You will see the system documents folder here. If you are not logged on with system administrator privileges, the files will be read only. To tell if you have administrator privileges, do:
    apple icon > system preferences > accounts
    click on your account and see if the allow user to administer this computer box is checked.
    One way get your person documents folder, you double click on the machintosh hd. Next, click on the little house icon on the lower left side of the screen. This will get to all your personal files and folders. One of the folders is your documents folder.
    I agree with the prior poster to find someone who has worked with the mac before to give you a quick tutorial.
    I suggest you visit the local library or book store and checkout or buy a book on using Mac OS Tiger.

  • Please help new to macs and my recently purchased power mac keeps freezing :-(

    Hi apple community!
    I recently purchased a power mac g5
    Specs;
    G5 power mac dual core (2.0)
    Power pc 970 mp
    Late 2005
    I don't have an apple mouse/keyboard
    I just use $40 wireless mouse keyboard.
    Upon purchase everything seemed to work as it should....booted up, open and closing apps without freezing.
    However I never had it connected to the Internet when I navigated through system.
    I got it home and installed a 1 tb harddrive (WD mainstream desktop) from future shop. When I installed it in tower I had to buy a sata 2.0 cable as there was not one available for use. Booted up fine and installation went as my research said it should. Turned it on next day....
    Tried to update iTunes and this is where it started actin up. First just froze had to turn off, second time wouldn't even boot up plus fans went into overdrive. Third forth fifth sixth boots fans sometimes kick in, now whenever I try to do any kind of action it freezes. (Only when I click something)
    I read about possible power suppy issue, so I plugged tower and monitor into seperAte plugs,
    They may however be in same circuit because they at in the same wall...would a power conditioner fix this?
    Anyway still froze on any action tried...just opened disk drive...opened then frooze...?
    Anybody have any ideas??
    Please help
    Not sure if this is correct OS ( looked up using serial #)
    Max operating system OSX 10.5.8 leaporad
    Earliest supported OSX version ; 10.4.2 tiger.

    Sorry for the late reply. I want to thank you for taking the time to help me.
    Not sure exactally where I could get something like this your speaking of.
    Update; I have removed the harddrive and will most
    Likely just use an external one, if the computer will even work.
    I ended up taking it in to geeksquad at best buy, they had it for 3 days and also told me after the fact that neither of the techs working on it knew much about macs :-( needless to say I requested my
    Money back due to the fact that the service I paid for could not be completed and literally couldn't tell me anything more than what's below.
    They told me that they could not dock it with thier diagnostic machine, kept restarting on them and the one fella said it was overheating but had no idea why. When I brought it home again I tried it once more computer boots up to desktop as usual, this time had a asterisk window saying " the computer was restarted after mac OSX quit unexpectedly" however my cursor was again locked in the top left of the screen. Would not move, so I could not view the report, shortly after fans kicked into overdrive. I'm losing hope for this machine rapidly. I'm all ears when it comes to anything I may be able to do.
    Should I try an actual apple keyboard/mouse just to eliminate that possible?
    If you have ideas AWSOME, If not, no worries, ill take it into the mac store and see what they say
    P.s the machine is clean inside little to no dust and the tech said he was going to clean it out, hard to tell if he did because it was clean clean before I brought it to him.
    Thanks again for the help you have given me so far and in the future
    I look forward to hearing back
    Sincerally

    thanks

    1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    80GB hard drive

    Hi Malcs,
    Don't know if you're in the U.K. but PC World are doing a good deal on the HP w2207h - £199.
    Just bought one for my Mac Mini and am extremely pleased with it - worked straight out of the box at its 1680 x 1050 resolution, it's very clear, at least to my ancient eyes, and the colours are superb and it comes with several presets i.e Movie; Photo; Gaming; Text and custom. It also comes on a stand that is height adjustable and tilts & swivels you can even turn it to portrait mode should that be your thing.
    On top of that it also looks visually superb, to me at least, seems extremely well made and the on/off button is located on the top edge, unlike a lot of monitors, so you don't get the blue 'on light' staring you in the face all the time.
    As I stated earlier, couldn't be more happy with my purchase, and I initially went to PC World to compare the LG and the Samsung.

  • Please help - new to Mac. Storage options for 11" MBA 128GB

    Hi,
    I am a PC laptop user considering moving over to a MBA 11". I need portability and I'm worried about the storage capacity for the MBA at 11" - I'm on a budget. The next step up for me would be the 13" MBP for storage space/cost (and then I start getting confused about Serial ATA/SSD).
    I currently estimate to have about 80-90GB of files on my PC (I estimated this from what's on my PC, and guessing at extras on my external HD). Most of this is music and photos from years of travel that I do not want to lose. My external HD once stopped working and I lost photos, so I never want that to happen again.
    I understand I can also get an external HD for the MBA, as well as back everything up with Time Capsule/Machine.
    Are there any other solid options?
    Is it too risky to store all music/photos solely on external drives, leaving the main machine free for work?
    The main things I will be using it for are writing, iTunes, streaming TV/movies, web browsing and blogging, and some light photo editing.
    Thanks for your help!

    Is it too risky to store all music/photos solely on external drives, leaving the main machine free for work?
    If you don't have them backed up to another hard drive, yes. I have a MacBook Air with a 256GB drive but I have about 3.5 TB of media (which is backed up on other drives). I keep a small selection of my photos, music, and video on the MBA but the rest is on a network accessable drive. If I have WiFi I can access the data on that drive. It is a pretty good solution.

    lyle6068, welcome to Apple Discussions & the Mac community.
    Generally you can drag the app to the Trash. You can also use the freeware AppDelete @ http://reggie.ashworth.googlepages.com/appdelete
    Suggest you buy the book by David Pogue - Mac OS X The Missing Manual Panther Edition.
    Includes everything you need to know about installing OS X, using OS X & maintaining OS X.

  • Please help new mac user is getting super frusturated with mail

    I am trying to send a peice of mail to one of my friends but when i click send it says:The SMTP server “smtp.mac.com” rejected the password for user “PierceP”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel. But i type in my password and nothing changes. I even went into my preferences and changed the password but it still will not allow me to send mail. PLease help
    Pierce

    Hi again. It seems like there is information people are looking for to help you that they don't have. It occurs to me that you have a new Mac and you perhaps have an Apple Store with a Genius Bar in your area. A great experience for you might be to visit one and let them setup your mail for you (for free) and debug, if there is a problem of any sort. You can make an advanced reservation at Apple Stores at http://www.apple.com/buy/. Select the nearest store and make reservation. If you haven't been in an Apple Store, you're in for a treat.

  • Copy iTunes and iPhoto library to new air mac

    I've just bought a new air mac. I have my entire music and photo library on my imac - which is running snow leopard. I back the imac up to a 1tb time machine.
    I tried to use migration assistant over wireless to migrate info to my air mac but this failed - as expected over wireless.
    I ideally want to copy over itunes, iphoto , files and folders and my windows for mac to the air mac and retain them on my imac.
    Is there an easy way to copy my information to my new air mac ?
    There seems to be lots of hacks and options but I'm not usre which is the best way ?

    Perhaps this will help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748.
    Your iPhoto library is located in the /Home/Pictures/ folder. If you've already migrated the home folder then everything has been moved including the iTunes library which is in the /Home/Music/ folder.

  • Text Box Dashed. Can't edit text. Please Help!

    InDesign CS4
    I made a catalog a couple months ago and when I opened it up to work on it again all my text boxes have a dashed outline when selected. I can select the box, but when I switch to the text tool and click it is unselected and I can't edit the text. When I try to highlight the text the text tool just makes a new text box (with normal outline). I can add new text in new text boxes. All the catalog pages are different files and the problem is the same when opening any page which makes me feel like its some setting in the actual program rather then the files themselves. Nothing is locked as far as I can tell and overriding all master page items doesn't help either. Somebody please help. Thank you!

    Sounds like your text frames are on the master page.

    Since you have a PowerMac G4, why did you post in the G5 forum?

  • Please Help - New Ipod

    Hi,
    I got an ipod with 30gb for Christmas - it came pre-loaded with 100 songs from the person who gave it to me. They created a playlist of all my favorite songs... which I love!!! However - when I come to hook it up to my pc/itunes it keeps asking me to delete everything on my ipod in order to put new songs on it... What do I do?????
    Please Help!

    Well, this is just guess but iPods are very ,uhm, protective about who can use what music, etc. Your fiend synched the pod to his/her computer to load the music that is what is causing the issue. I'd ask said friend to burn you a DVD of the playlist in question (not a back-up), wipe your pod on your computer, load the DVD ,and reinstall the music on to the pod via your computer. Hope that helps.
    Cheers,
    Chris
    P.S. I say DVD because to get everything to work the music will be in AIFF format which takes up a lot of room. You could also break the play lists into more manageable sized chunks and use regualr CD's.
