IPhoto and Kodak EasyShare software

I find myself using Kodak's EasyShare software a lot more than iPhoto-- especially since I can click on the slide show and see both photos and videos in the same slide show--
BUT with both programs, my photo/video folders are getting huge-- over 25 gb. How can I put "8000 of my photos" (out of 9000) into another folder on an external hard drive and keep the last 1000, but then at a later time access all the photos (combine them again on 1 hard drive) without having the software show a "?" on the photo and thus having to relocate each photo individually... i.e.--> how to backup the folder, but then add new photos to the smaller "new" main folder, then recombine these without having lost any pictures or information...
This must be a concern of others-- any comments on both iPhoto and if possible Kodak EasyShare as well-- THANKS!

Stephen:
You can do that with iPhoto 6 but not V5. iPhoto 6 has an option to import just alias files into the library and leave the full sized files where ever you want. Then you can change the preferences back to normal and import the full sized image files of those you want on the boot drive into the library. OR, keep them all on an external HD. Here are some Tutorials describing how to convert to an alias based system.

What update are you referring to? If you do a search for "Kodak" in the iPhoto community you'll find numerous posts regarding problems with Kodak cameras.
So far there's no known fix. The best workaround is to use a card reader with the memory card of the camera.

Kodak EasyShare software - cannot edit some scanned JPEGS - pop-up error

Hello everyone,
Well, a search through the forums was not even close to what I am experiencing.
The questions first before the background:
- Has anyone else ever seen this error?
- Has anyone been able to get through to Kodak support (maybe their web-site is not Safari friendly)?
OSX is 10.3.9
Using Kodak EasyShare v6.0.2 (v45 SKU10) software (the latest available for this OSX). This appy has been behaving reliably for years.
I have 4 JPEG files that were recently scanned in that EasyShare cannot edit. The pop-up states:
"One or more of the selected pictures cannot be edited using Kodak EasyShare and will be ignored".
I've done Repair Permissions and also maintenance scripts via MacJanitor.
The .JPGs are 20k each, nothing out of the ordinary. I am able to edit (much) larger files.
Yes, the files can be opened and edited with iPhoto but the end user has been using EasyShare and
would prefer (undestandably) not to maintain another photo-management tool.
Regards,
Craig

c-squared,

Does that mean that you did open these files in iPhoto and that they opened fine but just not using the Kodak Easyshare app software?
The reason I ask is that your statement can be read both ways and it is important to know if the jpeg files are corrupt and that is why the Kodak Easyshare cannot open them or if it is something else.
Have you tried saving the photos on your camera and then reformatting it and trying with some new test photos?

Import problems iPhoto and other Photo software

Hi there,
I am a new MacBook Pro owner with Leopard 10.5.1 and iLife 08. Absolutely impressed by the system, but a bit disappointed that importing JPEG formatted photos from files sometimes results in garbled photos in iPhoto and Aperture, even though the originals are simply fine. Tried to used other software like GIMP, but the issue remains.
Is this a known Mac OS X problem? If so, does anyone have a solution for it?
I would be eternally grateful for any help I can get on the issue.
Lucien

Hi Terence,
Thanks for answering. The photos have all been stored on my FAT32 formatted external USB 2.0 harddrive that I used with my old XP system. And the majority was taken with a variety of digital cameras (Toshiba, HP and Sony) and some were scanned in with a HP flatbed scanner.
I do not know how to check the color profile of the photos on the Apple system (I am still a newbie) and I did not look at them yet on my old XP system (but I will, but I am not near the system at the moment).
Would the color profile have anything to do with the problem?
Thanks for your answer!

IPhoto 6 and Kodak EasyShare 5.2.2

Is anyone using the excellent software from Kodak called "EasyShare"? Latest version for Mac is 5.2.2 although version 6 is out for windoze and "soon" for Mac.
I like EasyShare because since Feb 2004 when I got my first Kodak Camera, I could import videos from the camera and stills and show both in the same slide show. iPhoto could not do that-- not sure if it can in version 6.
What I'd like to hear is the pros and cons of both if anyone out there has used both. I'm not sure I want to switch 9700 photos at 25 gb of size (including videos) from EasyShare to iPhoto-- but it may be an advantage to do this.
Thanks and regards,

Stephen:
I don't know if easy share can use keywords or manage the photos in subsets like albums, etc., but if you already have your photos in a pre-defined folder system and would like to keep them that way you can use iPhoto in it's alias mode (see iPhoto's Advanced preference section) and keep your original files right where they are. Any edits done on a photo will create an edited version, leaving the original untouched. One downside is that if you delete a photo from iPhoto's library it does not delete the original source file. That must be done by you via the Finder. Here are some Tutorials on using iPhoto's alias mode that may give you an idea about it. With iPhoto's alias system you can use both EasyShare and iPhoto on the same set of source files. But if you edit a file from EasyShare or the Finder it will not update the thumbnail in iPhoto.
Also check out the iLife/iPhoto page at Apple's site to get a good idea of the many organizational virtues of iPhoto. As I said I'm totally unfamilar with the Kodak application so can't compare the two. Good luck.

Iphoto and Kodak Gallery Plug in or Ofoto Express

I have read multiple iphoto threads about using other upload programs and I use Kodak Gallery.
Does anyone know what the difference is between using either the Kodak Gallery Iphoto Plug in or using the Ofoto Express software from Kodak?
Is one preferred over the other?

I figured out to just use the plug in to upload directly to kodak without having to export out of iphoto then upload with ofoto express.

When i try to print a photo: select photo>file>print a box comes up stating 'no available themes' ' There were no themes located. Until at least 1 theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable'. Mac OS X/10.8.3, iPhoto 9.4.3, HP printer driver up to date. Any suggestions? Thanks.

YOu need to reinstall iPhoto.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Cannot load photos onto iphoto from kodak easyshare

I previously was able to load my photos onty iphoto (version 2), now that I have connected a new external hard drive, iphoto recognizes the camera and the photos to be imported, but after it starts to import them a message comes up saying "cannot import photo..." and asks me to continue or stop. Help please

An easier way to upload your pics , would be to disable launching iPhoto when you camera is connected. and use a 2 step process to upload pics on an empty folder and then to iPhoto.
- Do you see the camera icon on the desktop?
let me know if you want to know more!

I have a large kodak easyshare library, what is the best way to transfer them into iPhoto ?

I have about 5k pictures in the kodak easyshare software system on a dell laptop - what is the best way to transfer or import them into iPhoto on my iMac ? any help will be greatly appreciated...

Simply, export the data from this esy share system to standard formats like jpeg, making sure to preserve all metadata on the way. How to do that? YOu'll need to post on a Kodak forum I'm afraid.
Then copy the files to the Mac and import them.

Organizing iPhoto / Kodak Easyshare

Hi!
I have many zillion photos. I use iPhoto, and Kodak Easy Share, hence some are duplicates. I'd like to get control of the situation, and store them in one place. What do you all do? AND where the heck are the photos from iPhoto? I do find folders. none with names of albums, and they're in all kinds of places (i.e. in my user folder, etc.)
Can someone help me get control of these photo! I plan to be more organized in '07!
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto keeps the image files in its iPhoto Library folder that's located in your Pictures folder. Inside the Originals folder there will be subfolders corresponding to the rolls in iPhoto.
If you have selected the option in iPhoto's Advanced preferences to not import the photos when importing the original files will then be where they were when you imported them.
As far as duplicates, there are two applications, iPhoto Diet and Duplicate Annihilator that can cull out duplicate image files as long as they have the same file name. I do recommend, however, that you backup your library folder before proceeding just in case the results are not what you expected.
With that in mind you could import all of your photos into iPhoto and the cull out the duplicates. You will find, however, that when importing from the HD iPhoto will give you a warning regarding duplicates and let you make a decision as to import them or not.
Do you Twango?
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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhot and Kodak Gallery

New iMAC owner here.
Can anyone explain to me how I can upload photos from my iPhoto files to KodakGallery.com, to share with other people?
I have been able to upload a single photo at a time but only thru many clicks. With my PC, I was able to upload hundreds of photos at a single time.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you looked at the Kodak EasyShare software for uploading to their site?
http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=130&pq-locale=en_US
Unless there's an iPhoto plugin available for Kodak you'll have to use their software and possibly export your photos to the desktop so their software can upload them as a group. I've not used their software so don't know if it can interface with iPhoto directly or not.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Help with Kodak Easyshare v1253 camera

I am a new Mac owner and I recently got a new Kodak Easyshare v1253 digital camera. iPhoto doesn't seem to recognize it. I've tried installing the Kodak software and the firmware for the camera with no luck.
Does anyone know if this camera is compatible with iPhoto '08? Does anyone have one who could tell me how to get it to connect? I'd really like to get my pictures off it!
Thanks!

I have that same camera but iPhoto was able to recognize it after downloading the firmware and Kodak EasyShare update. Does the computer recognize your camera at all, through another program like Image Capture? If so, then you might just need to go to iPhoto's preferences and check off the box about opening iPhoto (or any image application you prefer, like Photoshop) when the camera's plugged in. Good luck!
I seem to have the opposite problem on my system-- iPhoto now thinks my camera is always connected, even when it's unplugged and sitting in my bag.
