How do I label a photo in iPhoto?

how can I add a name to my photo in iPhoto? (need to do this for sending photos. In this latest version I can't seem to figure it out!!

iPhoto doesn't have that capability. You will need to use a 3rd party image editor.
Some Image Editors that support layers:
Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free

How do I label a photo so that I can export the iPhoto and have the label stay with the picture

How do I label a picture in iPhoto so that the label stays when I export the iPhoto to a dvd?

What do you mean by 'label' exactly? I can think of several possibilities:
Text on the Photo
Coloured Label like a Finder label
Text in the Exif or IPTC metadata
Filename
and we've see all of these used on here as 'label'. So if you can clarify we can help more.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

You can't. iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
But not from a Mac. If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use it with Time Machine.

How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?

Contacts has a space for a photo. At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.
How can I add the photos from iPhoto to the choices for populating the "Contacts" image space for individual cards?

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

How do I move the photos in iPhoto to Lightroom ?

How do I move the photos in iPhoto to Lightroom? Thanks, I am a novice to Lightroom.

To access your Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop and Lightroom
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name] > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5. Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop or Lightroom from the file on the desktop.
or
7. Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
Then access the files in the folder via Lightroom and Photoshop

How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?

How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?
My iMac lost all of the photos in the iPhoto library about 3 OSX updates ago (current system 10.9.1) but they recently appeared on my iPad. I have looked at all of the iphoto libraries on my iMac (3) and one contains 419 photos, one contains 3 photos and the main library has place holders with description information for 3741 photos but no photos. My iPad has all of the photos in iPhoto. How do I move them?

The answer is no. There is no originals (or masters folder) that I can find. Below are the following folders in iPhoto:
Events Folder: 71 place holders with decriptions including 6 recent photos
Photos Folders: 3741 Place Holders with descriptions
Photo Stream: 1 photo
Last 18 Months: 157 photos
Last Import: 1 photo
Cloud: 229 photos
1 Album: 3 placeholders with descriptions
Slideshow: 1 placeholder with description
Many of the actual photos are recent and are duplicated in one of the abovefolders

How do I shrink a photo in Iphoto to fit a standard 8X10 page? I read that I should right-click in the Customize Preview page, but nothing happens

How do I shrink a photo in Iphoto to fit a standard 8X10 page? I tried to follow Old Toad's advice to right-click the image on the Customize screen, but absolutely nothing happened.

You must think I'm an idiot, Larry, because you have been incredibly precise about your instructions. However, as I keep saying, when I get to the "customize" screen, and I right-click the preview image, absolutely nothing happens. I don't know what is wrong, but I can understand why you would give up on me. I simply CANNOT get the option "fit to frame." Thank you so much for trying. I think I had better give up.

I don't think you need Preview.
Select the image and use File->export and you have full control over the size and compression.

How do I transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung phone GT S5830i ?

Can anyone please tell me how I can transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT S5830i phone ? The phone won't connect to Kies. I've uninstalled Kies. I've tried with Bluetooth and USB cable; all to no avail. I'm running Mavericks on a Mac. Many thanks in anticipation, Derek.

You can export the image from iPhoto to the desktop

Unfortunately, the rest of your query - i.e. - getting it from the desktop to that phone is one more for a Samsung forum.
