IPhoto '08 album MOV - FCE 4.0 ???

I created an album in iPhoto '08. After doing so I exported this album into a MOV file. The MOV file can be watched in the Quicktime Player 7 without any problems and smooth transitions. Unfortunately the same file cannot be used in Final Cut Express 4.0 for further use. FCE regards this as file without content. Why?

.mov doesn't mean anything, simply that it's a QuickTime file. And being QuickTime does mean anything because QuickTime can be a great many different things. What iPhoto is creating is a QuickTime slideshow. It's an instruction set that let's the QT player play back still images in a sequence with its own built in transitions. What you need to export is a video file. You need to export a QuickTime movie encoded in one of the codecs and formats that are supported in FCE.

I created an album from photos taken off three different cameras. I am sorting the photos manually and when I close iPhoto, the photos move back either by date or by camera import time. How can I keep the photos from moving around?

I am trying, unsuccessfully, to export an iphoto smart album- 12,000 photos, no movies- (information is saying 31GB) to a brand new 32GB scandisk flash stick. A caution msg keeps saying "there is not enough space to complete this" Help!

You need a larger drive or an external drive - they OS needs a minimum of 10GB just for normal operation so you are already experiancing degraded preformance - if yo do not get more space you will start losing data
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Most iPhoto '09 albums don't show up in the screen saver preferences

I just realised that most of my iPhoto '09 albums don't show up in the screen saver preferences... How can I make them visible again?

Bruce Etnyre has a more permanent fix over on the Using 10.5 forum:
You might try this. Go to the:
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost folder
(where “yourusername” is the short name of your computer, like baumgarten - the folder looks like a house/home)
and move these files to the Trash:
com.apple.screensaver.XXXXX.plist
com.apple.screensaver.slideshow.XXXXX.plist
and this one, if you have it:
com.apple.iphotomosaic.XXXXX.plist
The XXXXX before the .plist is a hexadecimal string.

Is iPhoto changing my .mov format after importing from iPad?

Or is iTunes changing it while importing?
It seems iPhoto is making movies incompatible with iPad.
My iPad sees and plays my .mov videos directly taken by my canon sd 1400 is. They play in the photos app of my ipad after using the camera kit, and it's great for sharing with friends during a vacation.
The bad news is after ipad uploads these videos and photos to my mac's iPhoto, iPhoto is changing the format (I am guessing) so that the videos can not be uploaded back to the ipad in an album. Why? How can I change or fix this?
I am hoping someone points me to a magic setting in iPhoto that says, "Check this box if you don't want your videos broken with iPad"
ipad 32GB, 3G
Apple Camera Kit
Canon SD1400 IS
iPhoto 11
iMac Intel Core Duo
OSX 10.6.5

The iTunes app on your computer is very strict as to importing videos to the iPad.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Even if your video does follow the above specs. Not all h.264 are created equally to the h.264 standards.
The Camera Connection Kit is not as strict.
I can import videos from my Flip Mino HD camera when using the Camera Connection Kit. When trying to import the same video using iTunes I get the message,'file format no supported.'
The previous iOS 3.x did not support importing Flip videos when using the Camera Connection Kit. I was happy to find that the iOS 4.2.1 upgrade did!!! Now I don't have to buy a new video camera!!!
To answer you question... Use the Camera Connection Kit. It's better than nothing...

These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID.
These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications.
please help me to fix this problem
Thanks
Krishna.

You need to either delete and buy them, or get whoever holds that Apple ID to tell Apple to release them. On a Mac, deleting the applications won't affect their data, but that should be backed up anyway.

IPhoto new albums problem

Hi,
I've noticed a weird problem with my iPhoto lately. I can create new albums just fine in iPhoto itself, but when I go to my Finder and hit Pictures>iPhoto Library>Albums, the new albums don't show up as new folders. Is there something wrong here, or am I just using an outdated version of iPhoto?

As long as the albums are there when iPhoto is open, don't worry about it. You shouldn't be poking around in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder anyway — all you can do in there is corrupt iPhoto's database and make the app lose track of the rest of your stuff. There is no reason to go there at all — everything you need to do with your photos can and should be done from within iPhoto.

Importing jpg images saved in Photoshop into iPhoto'11 albums

I edited some photos in Photoshop, saved them as jpgs and then tried to import them into an iPhoto '11 album without success. Although I saw a green plus sign, the photos did not appear in the album. I have done this without a problem in an older version of iPhoto (7?) on an older computer. Why won't it work now and how do I get the edited photos into my album?
Thanks.

You can't import to an Album. You import to the Library and then you add them to a Library. Check your Library those images will be there.

HT5129 I keep getting the message MobileMe has been discontinued - iPhoto willmove albums you have published to MobileMe Gallery. . . but I have not knowingly published any photos to MobileMe. How can I get this message to stop. It's getting annoying.

Also, how can I remove duplicate photos in an album without doing it manually?
Thanks!

When the prompt pops up next time you start iPhoto select Learn more. Then click on iPhoto preferences and select the Accounts tab. Delete your MM account and the quit iPhoto. Next time you open iPhoto the problem should be eliminated.

Iphoto says albums are currently sychronizing and wont quit.

Iphoto says albums are currently synchronizing and wont quit. Force quit doesn't work either, what can I do?

Shut the computer down and then relaunch. If, when you relaunch iPhoto it starts the synchronizing again and you can't quit, do the same as before. But this time launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library. Use the options in the screenshot below:

IPhoto "new album" command returning null album

If I run this script, the result is "album id 0 of application "iPhoto"".
tell application "iPhoto"
set a to new album name "Foo"
return a
end tell
I'm not very experienced with AppleScript, but I believe the id 0 indicates "null" -- if I try to do something with it, like "return name of a", I get an error: "Can't get album id 0".
In contrast, if I do this, the result is "album id 4.294967373E+9 of application "iPhoto"":
tell application "iPhoto"
set a to new album name "Foo"
return album "Foo"
end tell
This seems very simple, but apparently I'm missing something.
(The reason I care is that iPhoto's album names aren't unique identifiers -- if I create a new album, I want to be sure I'm working with that album and not another that happens to have the same name.)

Looks like a bug. Try this as a workaround:
*tell application "iPhoto"*
*new album name "Foo"*
*set A to last album*
*end tell*

How do I burn photos from an iPhoto library album to a CD disk as jpegs?

How do I burn photos from an iPhoto library album to a CD disk as jpeg files? I'm wanting to burn the iPhoto library exactly as it appears in the "album", so they appear as jpegs, so you can't tell that the files have been edited in iPhoto. (I have edited some of the photos in iPhoto.)
I tried this using the "share/burn" menu option, however, it included the original files, which defeats the purpose of editing them.
Any suggestions?

Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pics to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to CD with the Finder.

IPhoto & iPhone Album order is different

I can't seem to find any answers to this, I have around 100 albums in iPhoto on my Mac, they are all synced to my iPhone, but on the phone they are just being displayed in a seeming random order.
I have removed all the photos from the phone and started again, but they go back in the same order.
In iPhoto the albums are actually in alphabetical order, have I've clicked the sort albums option, but this did nothing?
Any ideas?

Which iPhoto version?
The order of selected iPhoto albums in the Albums window under the Photos tab for my iPhone sync preferences is reflected on my iPhone.
I'm using the selected albums, events, and faces option so maybe this makes a difference but it shouldn't.
