I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map to let me fix a position on the map. It remains disabled for my photo. Checking out the Help file has not given any solution.

I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map tp show. I have tried the Help file and the information was not helpful. Can anyone give advice here?

I am using iPhoto 9.1.1. When I select thephoto, then Places I get the window (Places to lookup disabled). When I hit theInfo button I get the size an JPEG notification, and Faces and Key words. The “reverse” of thepicture shows a window with Rotate, Hide, Trash etc.
When I select Places, get the Google worldmap, and this case a pin on Sydney Australia showing that eighteen photos arecorrectly placed. I am unable to make the connection to San Francisco wherethis particular photo was taken on a very modern camera.
Regards,

Ive downloaded my photos into iphoto and cannot find them. I inadvertantly deleted photos from my camera. Any chance to recover or find them?

Ive downloaded my photos into iphoto from my Canon G10 and cannot find them. I inadvertantly deleted photos from my camera. Any chance to recover or find them?

Do they show in "last import" or in photos view?
You give us nothing to go on so we can only make really wild guesses
you may be able to recover them on the camera card using software like media recover

when i try to update iphone 4 i am getting message saying unable to update the firmware file was not compataible .
Any solution to this problem

If the problem is sending to just one address and it has worked in the past, I don't know if this will work. I posted this to another thread yesterday for someone who had the same problem you are having and it worked for them. You can take a look. This is thread that I found and the words below are the OP's suggested fix.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3048200?start=0&tstart=0
On the iphone i went Settings>Mail, contacts calanders>choose relevant account (if you have more than 1)> accountname>accountname> scroll down to 'Outgoing Mail server' and click on SMTP >click on your Primary Server >
My #Username and Password were showing 'Optional'. Filled them in with the correct details (email account login) and that fixed problem.

How do I transfer a music file (song) from iTunes list to my iPOD? The Apple help files do not make any sense in this regard.

How do I transfer a song from itunes to my ipod (they are connected). The Apple help files are truly pathetic in this fundamental function.
For example they say click on the "summary" button ... I find no summary button anywhere on my screen. How's that for a confidence builder?

This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2554
It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer.

I have a Win home proffesional with Ie9 and cannot get to the itunes store. I keep getting this message"Itunes has stopped working.A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. I have deleted the program and re installed with the 64 bit download

I have deleted the program and re installed numours times, also ran a full essential scan, spybot and malware byte scans with no results. Any ideas?

Nobody has had or has this problem? I have gone back and forth with itunes "help" people for 2 weeks with no "help" at all. I guess I am going to have to buy a non apple devise and shop @ amazon for my music.

Am useing a PC. Have Photoshop CS5, suddenly cannot move Raw files from bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop. Jpeg move into photoshop ok, did get error message 1 what do I do to correct this om bridge (or anywhere else for that matter)

Useing a PC
Have Photoshop CS5
Suddenly cannot move Raw Files from Bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop.
I Can move Jpegs into ps the only issue is with Raw files
I did get error1 message but as do not know what that means its no help
any suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Loaded photo into iPhoto and wanted to make a movie

I have 40 images, one song and wanted to make a quicktime movie and post for friends
Made the movie, 128 mb looks nice. (480x640) now I want to share it with friends. I tried to load it to my .mac public it get to the end uploading and locks up the computer. notthing is running, cant delete it it says its in use.. I did the same thing with Small size 240x180 its still 35mb
How can I make a movie with a song and share it
I cant run iDvd or iMovie I'm still on G4 with 1.2 ghz
myspace has a limit of 100mb and NO option for .mov (quicktime movie)
help please

There are a couple of things you can do. One is to resize it during export from iPhoto to 320 x 240, a common size used for posting. Another is to use a video editor like VisualHub to reduce the size down to something more manageable. Possibly reducing the frame rate to 15 from 29 if it's at 29. Quicktime Pro can also resize movie files.
If you visit the iMovie or Quicktime forum you should find some more knowledgeable users in this area.

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.

I recently lost all my photos on Iphoto and I get this message:

"Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable." When I follow the instructions it givves me, nothing happens. It just keeps going back to the same error message. Are my pics gone forever?

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 #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Can't import photos into iPhoto

I have a Sony DSC W5 digital camera. For five years I have been able to import photos from the Sony camera into iPhoto. In the last two days I can no longer import photos into iPhoto. I get an "unrecognizable file" prompt. I can drag the photo files onto the Finder and view them there. The photo on the Finder has a .jpg suffix just as all the other photos in iPhoto. Anybody got an idea on how to solve this problem? Thank you.

get the photos off of the card and reformat the card using the camera format command
Can you import the photos from disk once you have moved them from the camera to the disk? If not try opening one preview and saving as to create a new file and import that

Importing and Organizing Thousands of Photos into IPhoto

How can I import about 20 thousands photo into IPhotos and keep the logical organization?
I just buy a Mac Mini and I start trying to move my photos. These are organized in directories by dates with a customize description for the occasion ( …/YEAR/YEAR-MONTH-DAY + DESCRIPTION/)
I tried with few directories and I realized that in order to use IPhoto and keep the logical organization I will have to create and name about 500 albums manually and look for the photos for every album again one by one.
It sounds hard because the number of albums and photos.

There is a 3rd party application, iPhotoTool, that will let you select the top folder containing many subfolders and import all of them into iPhoto and create an album of each sub folder. That will save you a lot of manual work. Then all you need to do is create folders in the Source pane to organize your albums. Be sure to not allow duplicates each time it asks or you'll get duplicates in many of the folders. You'll be asked for each subfolder above the lowest but that's lot easier than manually finding and dragging each folder into iPhoto's Source pane.

Can't load photos into iphoto 6

Have many hundreds of small Sony Mavica cd-r discs that will not import into iphoto and cannot be read by Preview. Disc is read by external Qfire cdrw drive and files are displayed on desktop but each time I try to open a .jpg photo file it states:"Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt of a file format that Preview doesn't recognize." These discs work fine in a Sony Vaio but get the same results in both my new Imac and and older G5 with internal DVD drive. This same G5 connected to the Qfire drive operating on OS9.4 worked fine until I updated it to OS X 10. Any ideas as to why the discs won't open on the new IMac w/ OS X 10.4.9?

Massbody:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As I remember from posts a while ago those discs and formats are not compatible with the Mac. Do a search fror Sony Mavica here in the Mac forums and see what you find. I don't remember if any solution was found or discussed.

Do you have the Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 Kbps AAC option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?
If so, disable it and then click the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the changes to your device.

That's because apps are DRM protected & tied to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another iTunes account. You can contact iTunes support, explain the situation, and request they add these apps to the download queue of your new account:
