IPhoto Metadata and the Collage Screen Saver

I'm loving the new screen savers that came with Leopard, and I like the collage screensaver. I have good information that I entered in the iPhoto "info" box for photo names and dates. However, when I turn on the "Annotated" option in Desktop & Screen Saver preferences, it only displays the original File name and date (some stupid names instead like "P1764670" instead of "Camping at Inks Lake"...and sometimes the original date on a photo was wrong, so I correct them)...Is there a way to make the Collage screensaver look at the data I've painstakingly entered into iPhoto? At the very least, is there a way to migrate the data from iPhoto to rename the files and dates of certain photos? Does iPhoto '08 offer a solution that iPhoto 6 does not?
Thanks
iPhoto 6.0.6

The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos.  However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled.  What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

  • Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

  • Making Collage Screen Saver

    Is there any easy way to make the collage screen saver effect found in the screen savers on a mac? I just need four or five pictures for each sequence.
    Are there any applications such as iphoto that I could make it with and then import it into FCP? Or do I need to make it in motion? If yes, any easy ways?

    No:
    I mean the screen saver where photos drop and pile up on one another

  • I WANT COLLAGE SCREEN SAVER IN IPHOTO AS A SLIDESHOW OPTION!

    i love the new Collage screen saver in Leopard. Is it possible to use that (or Mosaic) as an optional slideshow in iPhoto?
    if not, it needs to be!

    I suggest opening iPhoto and reverting back to iPhoto in the Preferences for photo editing. Quit iPhoto. Restart your Mac for good measure. Open iPhoto and again choose Photoshop Elements in Preferences as the editing app.
    As far as editing, I don't have PE, but I have another editing app form the Mac App Store, ColorStrokes. I have been experimenting with using it for editing iPhoto photos and it works flawlessly. After setting ColorStroke as the editing app, I open a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button in the menu bar below the photo. Color Stoke immediately opens with the photo and I complete my editing. When I have finished editing I choose to Save the photo, leave the name the same and agree to replace the iPhoto photo of the same name. I quit ColorStroke and the photo in iPhoto now has all of my edits from ColorStroke.
    Should I decide that I prefer the original photo, I open the photo in iPhoto and choose Revert to Original in the Photos pulldown menu.

  • What is the "flagged" screen saver option

    I'm hoping this is a way to have only specific iPhoto pics be used in the screen saver rather than all. But I haven't be able to figure out how to use the flagged option for a screensaver. If I click on the flagged option I get a message "The selected soruce contains no pictures. Please choose a new source that contains pictures or add images to the source." I'd love to do that, but how?

    Thanks much for such a simple answer! I'd need the greyed out flag in iPhoto but didn't know what it was and hadn't used it. Now I learn about that and the flagged screen saver

  • Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,thanks, Derek

    Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
    If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
    and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
    Good luck Derek

  • Word of the Day Screen Saver--Press "D" Key

    I have been using the "word of the day" screen saver that comes stock with Yosemite (10.10.2). When active, it will scroll words across stopping randomly on words and then provide the definition. Ok, so far. But it will also display a message with the definition to the effect of, "Press D key to see more". What is the intended result of this? When I press "D" it simply wakes up and returns to the Desktop.

    Word of the Day has a button to select the dictionary to be used - the New Oxford American Dictionary and a Japanese dictionary were available options as well as "Automatic".

  • I missed the  logo screen saver.

    Was searching high and low for the  logo screen saver but I'm restricted to Albums, Photos and Slideshow. Did I miss out anything? I prefer the simple screen saver because I don't want to light up my dark room with the rest of the screen saver options.

    I got a cool trick. In iTunes > Apple TV > Summary tab, I chose *Custom Sync* and check the *Show only the synced items on my Apple TV*
    Now when my Apple TV goes into screen saver mode, I get a black screen! Brilliant! Luv it.
    By the way, I do not sync Music and Photos to my Apple TV. Music video image art doesn't show up in screen saver. My Apple TV is mainly for TV Shows and Movies.

  • Help Please!  I've created a slideshow in iPhoto 09 and the first song just repeats 50 seconds into it.  How do I get the song to continue?

    With iPhoto open click Help from the iPhoto menu bar top of your screen. From the drop down menu click iPhoto Help.
    Type slideshow music  in the search field top right corner of that window.
    You should see:   To add music to a slideshow    instructions.

  • While using bluetooth wireless on iPad, it stalls and the on screen keyboard comes up.

    I just bought my iPad 2 about two weeks ago. Before that I was playing around with my parent's iPad first generation.
    For both iPads, I have the same problems while using the same wireless keyboard on both of them.
    1. While typing, at random times the wireless keyboard stops responding and the on screen keyboard shows up.
    2. While typing, also at random times, the wireless keyboard stops responding and the same alphabet that I last typed in would multiply itself until I either press "command + A" and delete or lock my parent's iPad and iPad 2.
    3. While typing, my wireless keyboard stops responding, on screen keyboard shows up, I select my on screen keyboard to hide, continued typing on the wireless keyboard, it stops responding again and my iPad2 restarts in a split second with the black backdrop and apple logo in the middle and goes to lock screen. Then everything is fine.
    4. While not typing, on screen keyboard shows up at random times while bluetooth is paired to wireless keyboard and then goes back down, all this while bluetooth icon at the top screen of the iPad2 flashes.
    I don't know what is wrong. At first I thought my iPad 2 has a problem but when I remembered the same problems occurred on my parent's iPad first generation, I don't know if it is just my keyboard or the iPad(s) have a problem.
    Please help me!

    If this is only one specific app, it is a problem with that application's programming.
    You can try to reset your iPad by holding down both the Home and Lock buttons for approximately 15 seconds or until the device restarts while ignoring the power slider.

I want to figure this out because i dont want to order a repair kit with an LCD screen if i dont have to. thanks in advanced

    On the 4G the outer glass and the LCD screen is one bonded unit.

  • I've never dropped my phone for the 7 months that I've had it but last night I was at a park and when I sat down at a table, my phone as in my pocket and I heard a pop. I took my phone out and the entire screen was cracked. what should I do?

    Probably not, since user-caused damage isn't covered by the warranty. But you can take the iPhone to an Apple Store and see if there's anything they can do for you. A phone company store will not service your iPhone at all, to the best of my knowledge.

    It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:
