Is there anyway to recover Facebook albums deleted in iPhoto?

Here's my problem. I was sorting through a bunch of pictures in iPhoto. I deleted the facebook albums in iPhoto, not realizing it would delete them off facebook. Is there any way to recover these albums so that they go back on facebook? Preferably with any comments people left on facebook intact? Thanks.

Moving images into the iPhoto library after importing them

I imported all my 4,500 pictures to iPhoto but since I wanted to keep my file structure intact i chose not to import them into the iPhoto library but to keep them in the existing folders. Now, I want to move the pictures into the library. How to do?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You want to change from a Referenced to a Managed Library?
When you run a Referenced Library iPhoto makes aliases to the files in your folder structure. You can replace these aliases with the actual files using an app such as AliasHerder.

How do i get my Nikon photos from viewNX 2 into the iPhoto library?

1. How do I get my Nikon photos from ViewNX 2 into the iPhoto Library?
2.I tried by copying them and moving to the iphoto folder. Now the Iphoto applicationwon't open because it is locked. the help item says to open it with command option keys down to get the iphoto library First aid window. it does not come up.

How did you add the photos to the iPhoto Library folder? The way to import photos is to drag them onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock or into the open iPhoto window.
it does not come up.
What does not come up? What happens when you try to launch iPhoto with those two keys held down?
Try the following again being sure to hold those keys down before launcing iPhoto and until the window opens:
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.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library. I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one. They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device." I hadn't touched the camera. The message came by itself. I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit. Opening it back up, the pictures were gone. Can somebody help me?

What version of iPhoto are you running? Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2

HT2518 Can I drop pictures in predefined folders on PC directly into the iPhoto library, or should I?

I just purchased this iMac and would like to manually transfer large predefined folders of various things, (pictures, other data) from my PC to my Mac. In the case of pictures, I have them sorted by year, month, and so forth. Can I drop them directly into the iPhoto library and will iPhoto understand any of the folder names or what will it do with them?

You may indeed drop a folder containing pictures to the left side of iPhoto, and it will keep the original organization, as attached.
But, if you have them already organized in files within folders, perhaps it is not recommented to put them all there, but you know better what you want to do with them.
In attache screenshot, folder marked by an arrow was dropped there from another location, and iPhoto created a copy of it.

Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
and look in the folder named Auto Import. Move any files in that folder to a folder on the Desktop and close the package. Do not make any other changes. Launch iPhoto (the message should be gone) and drag the folder on the Dersktop into the open iPhoto window to import them.

In iPhoto preferences Advanced, I originally 'ticked' the "Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" box. I have now installed a Drobo double back-up system and would like to delete these 'items' on my hard drive. Is this possible?

In iPhoto preferences >Advanced, I originally 'ticked' the "Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" box. I have now installed a Drobo double back-up system and would like to delete these 'items' on my hard drive. Is this possible?

Not with iPhoto.
You can relocate the masters using Aperture if you're using the latest versions of both iPhoto and Aperture. However, if you're planning on using iPhoto going forward having the masters on one disk and the Library on another is not a good idea. Have a read of this

How do I import old photos into new iPhoto library?

I have a new macbook pro running iphoto 11. I am trying to import my photos onto the new computer from my old computer, running iphoto 8. I mounted the old computer as a hard disk, but when I go to import the photos into new iphoto library on the new computer, the old iphoto library is "grayed" out under the users/pictures/iphoto location.
How do I transfer the photos?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

Importing referenced images into the Aperture library

I've searched and seen related questions but not this one exactly.
I have images that I unknowingly (new aperture user) imported as referenced files. Now I'd like to import them into the aperture library without loosing ratings, etc so that they are included in my vault. How do I do this without starting over with these images?
Thanks - Rick

Does iPhoto copy photos into the iPhoto library or move them in?

I moved about 40GB of photos onto my Macbook when I bought it. It looks like iPhoto duplicated them because the iPhoto library is about the same size as the folder in my finder. Does it copy photos into the library rather than move everything?

Would there be anything in iPhoto that it may not have copied?
It will only have imported (and copied) only those things you told it to.
is there anything in iPhoto that won't be somewhere else on my hard drive?
Anything that was imported directly - from a camera, for instance.

Is there anyway to import dvd video to the computer?about area code?

Hi
I was trying to watch a japanese DVD that i bought long time ago with the computer, and the dvd player that was installed on the computer said that the since the area code of the dvd is different, i had to change the player's code to number 2, and i would have only 4 opportunities to change the area code. Is there anyway i could import the video file to the mac so i won't have to put the dvd in and use up my opportunity to change the area code? or is there anyway to increase the number of opportunities to change the area code?
i know that this question is not related to idvd program-.-but couldn't find anyhere to post tis question. thanks!!!!!

Hello lovekorea,
Unforunately, your answers are no and no. The only course you have is to change the settings and rip the DVD then change settings back, but you will lesson the opportunities to change. There is no way that I know of to increase the number of times you can change the settings, unless there is a hack somewhere, but this is not the forum to find one. You can burn the ripped DVD through Toast's copy function (if you have a DVD burner, of course) and this will make it region free.
I'm afraid there's no good news here.

Copying saved photos on dvds into the iphoto library manager

I am trying to copy photos saved in 2011 on dvds into my library manager. I followed the instructions about copying them on my hard drive first. Now that they have been copied on the library manager, can I delete the folder they are in on the hard drive? it seems to me that we are having to take a lot of space duplicating all those photos.

What "library manager" is that? Do you mean iPhoto Library Manager? If so, remember that it's not a place. You can't put anything "into" it. It just shows you the Libraries that you have on your HD.

Importing Facebook albums into iphoto.

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to import my photo album names and details from Facebook into iphoto? I know I can go the other way and edit albums I have created in iphoto and then uploaded into Facebook. However, I cannot seem to add photos to albums that I created in Facebook via iphoto. For example, if I create an album in Facebook, I cannot seem to access this album in iphoto as I didn't create it within iphoto.

Please see my write-up and video tutorial on a solution to your question. I had the same need so I came up with this method.

Do I *need* to open iPhoto to get Photostream photos into the iPhoto library?

Hi all,
I don't really use iPhoto that much but since I started using my iPhone 4S as my principle out-and-about camera rather than lugging my DSLR everywhere I have started using it to archive all my mobile snaps using Photostream so that there's one less reason to physically connect my phone to my iMac.
The problem I have is that because I don't have much other reason to launch iPhoto I occasionally forget to do so for over a month which means there's a gap in the images that are downloaded as Photostream only stores the last 30 days (or the last 1000 photos) in the cloud. This has happened at least once and it's a bit of a pain.
I've created an iCal alarm on 'On My Mac' that launches iPhoto overnight once a week, and that's an acceptable workaround for me. However, I wondered if there is a way to have the Photostream constantly downloading to the iMac even when iPhoto isn't running, so that the app can officially import those when I remember to launch it even if I haven't for well over 30 days?

No. iPhoto can't import if it's not running.
Your solution with iCal is as good as any.
