Link von iPHOTO zu BRIDGE abgerissen?

Hi,
musste nach Festplattenwechsel alles neu installieren.
Nach Installation des Programms iPhoto hab ich die automatisch neu erstellte (leere) iPhotoLibrary gesucht, im Ordner BILDER gefunden und gegen die alte (volle) iPhotoLibrary von meinem Backup-Medium ausgetauscht - in der Annnahme, dass nun die Bridge wie vorher auf meine dort vorliegenden ALBUMS zugreifen kann.
Resultat:
In iPhoto 6.0 funktioniert wieder klaglos. Aber die Adobe Bridge (CS2) zeigt nur jene Bilder an, die ich zB auf dem Schreibtisch liegen hab.
Wenn ich in der Bridge zum Ordner "Bilder" geh, in der der ORDNER iPhotoLibrary liegt, öffnet mir Bridge zwar jeden Unterordner dieser Library, aber in jenen Ordnern, die mit den Jahreszahlen versehen sind (2002 bis 2007) stecken seinerseits nur diverse Unterordner, die, wenn man da in der untersten Ordnerebene angelangt ist, nur schlußendlich die Meldung zeigen: "Keine anzuzeigenden Objekte. Ein Objekt ausgeblendet".
Früher, auf der alten Festplatte, funktionierte die Bridge einwandfrei. Außerdem waren dort auch die ALBUMS von der Bridge aus auswählbar. Und es wurden dann die entsprechenden Bilder anstandslos angezeigt. Nunmehr erscheinen überhaupt keine ALBUMS mehr in der Bridge zur Auswahl, obwohl in iPhoto mehr als 15 ALBUMS angelegt sind.
Offenbar hat die Bridge keine gscheite Verbindung mehr zur iPhoto-Library. Was tun?
Wenn mir jemand helfen kann: mille grazie im voraus,
Edwin

Hi Olaf,
This is the Optical Section I think your post would be better in the Switching Section.

Lost link between iPhoto library and iPhoto.app

While learning how to use Photoshop Elements 4.0 and Bridge, I made the choice to "browse" in Bridge. When I next started iPhoto 6.06, my link to the Library was lost. I have worked with AppleCare support, done every exercise short of creating a new library and losing my organization. With 20,000 + photos I would like to avoid that exercise. I do have backups but am trying to figure out if I can solve this any other way. All my files are still in iPhoto Library, and I can see the organization of my albums in Bridge. With some exercises, I get the message: "Unreadable files: 1. The following file could not be imported: '/Users/john/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Library.iPhoto.'"
If I delete Adobe Photoshop Elements and Bridge from the hard drive, will this help? I promise I did not do anything within iPhoto Library in Finder!
Thanks so much!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There's absolutely no harm in using PSE with iPhoto, it's Bridge that's a killer. So that's what you chuck from your machine. Set up PSE as an external editor in the iPhoto Preferences. That way you can double click a pic in iPhoto and it will open automatically in PSE, save it PSE and have it come back into iPhoto seamlessly.
What's likely happened here is that you have (or Bridge has) made changes in the iPhoto Library Folder which has broken the link between iPhoto and the library files.
Some things to try:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Choose Locate, and point iPhoto at the iPhoto Library Folder.
What Back Ups do you have? If there's an up-to-date one, then try copying the library6.iphoto file from it to the iPhoto Library Folder allowing it to overwrite the confused one.
That said, if these don't work, your options will only be to create and populate a new library: To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Finally, the message
"Unreadable files: 1. The following file could not be imported: '/Users/john/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Library.iPhoto.'"
is because iPhoto will not import a picture that's in the active iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication.

Wie legt man die Mediathek von Iphoto und Fotos der iCloud zusammen?

Wie legt man die Mediathek von Iphoto und Fotos der iCloud zusammen? (habe ältere Bilder die nicht in der Cloud sind und möchte gerne eine einheitliche Mediathek)

ja, ganz genau so. (explorer)
!!! Dann die alte Filme (Links mehr ist es ja nicht) in iTunes löschen, findet er ja sowieso nicht mehr :-)
und dann über "Ordner zur Mediathek hinzufügen" die Filme wieder in iTunes "bekannt" machen. Kopiert werden sie dann ja nicht -wäre ja auch kontraproduktiv
Die Cover etc sollten dabei eigentlich erhalten bleiben...
Ja ATV hat darauf Zugriff, das regelt iTunes für Dich. Natürlich muß der Rechner an sein und iTunes laufen, sonst kann ATV natürlich nicht zugreifen

Why some photo in Photos is linked to iPhoto only?!

Hi and tnxs for reading.
While testing some ways to manual backup my photos from Photos, I got a caution msg from Photos in relation to 2 out of 300 album I have.
This msg was stating that some photos cannot be exported since they are linked to iPhoto library and not Photos library. There are instructions suggesting me the way to link them to the appropriate folder (in this case folder n.10 of Master/2012 subfolder of iPhoto Library).
Of course this is something I do not like since I would like Photos to be independent from iPhoto.
Here are my doubts/questions:
1) why this happened?
2) by following the instruction to allow Photos to access those photos, I cannot proceed since when clicking "OK" I need to manually point a folder inside iPhoto library, which is greyed in the opened window.
3) Can I fix the issue by consolidating the 2 albums? By selecting the 2 albums and selecting "Consolidate" I get a warning saying that this action will copy original files in Photo library and the action is irreversible. Since I am not an expert on this, I am asking here before continuing...
Tnxs.

Hello and thanks very much - sadly this is not the case, I checked it already: The photos not being transferred are separately taken shots. The ones being transferred and the ones that are not seem completely randomly defined and it is never predictable which ones will show up.

I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Help in changing from iphoto to Bridge CS5

I am a mac user with an imac and a macbook pro and have added PS CS5. My OS is 10.6.8 on my laptop. How do I set or switch from iphoto to Bridge CS5 to store/catalog my photos? Any help or tutorial would be appreciated.
Thanks,

How do I set or switch from iphoto to Bridge CS5 to store/catalog my photos?
There is a significant difference between Bridge and iPhoto. Bridge is a file browser and reflects the contents of the folders you point it to. iPhoto uses a central library to store the images in By default this library is hidden and only shows as a Package.
You first have to decide to use either iPhoto or Bridge as main application to manage your photo's, it is very hard to mix the 2 applications.
If you want Bridge for this you should create a new folder or folder structure where you can place the files in. For instance in your pictures folder but it can be located anywhere in your user account.
Then go to the pictures folder on your Mac (best use column mode for Finder windows) and choose the iPhoto Library file. When you use right mouse click menu on the library icon it shows an option called 'show package content'
This opens a new window and reveals the content of the library.
Now search for the folder called masters (or originals as I believe they called it in earlier versions) in list.
If you open this folder there will be a folder for each year you have add photo's to iPhoto.
In here are the original sized pictures nested.
Best way is just grab the year folders and be sure to copy them (instead of move, otherwise your originals will also be removed from iPhoto) to the new created folders where you want to point Bridge to.
After done point Bridge to a year folder and in the menu view choose 'show items from subfolders'. This will reveal all pictures in this year folder and starts caching them.
After caching is done you can choose to leave them in date folders as the have been created by iPhoto or start batch renaming and let Bridge get the shot date from Exif, etc etc. Organize, rename and add metadata keywords to the files the way you like.
If you use Photodownloader to import the new shot files you can point that to the wanted folder to be placed in.
To many options to explain.
Be sure to have a Back Up and you can test what ever you like

Link to iPhoto (Manage Referenced Files)

Good day everyone,
Probably a couple of most stupid question, but i'm still unsure how it exactly works, and the User's Manual is not all that cristal clear about it.
* How do I "link" my iPhoto Library to Aperture ?
* One they are so-called "linked", does that mean that the touchups I do in Aperture will appear in iPhoto as well, or does the system Aprture/iPhoto keep two different files of the some original ? (e.g. : if I paint the hairs of my mother-in-law green in Aperture, will they appear green in iPhoto as well ?)
Thanks in advance

Thank you, Terence, for this explaination.
I hace to confess that I don't clearly see Apple's logic in this, by presenting the two apps as "cooperative". The way they work, as you clearly described, is totally independant.
So could we refer to Aperture as an "iPhoto for the pro's" ?
I really like some of its features, but at the same time, need also some functionalities of iPhoto.
Apple is claiming so loud an integration between the two of them that I was expecting some kind of a sync -even manually- between the two of them, or at least, that Aperture could be used as an external editor for iPhoto. It is now clear to me that is it not the case - thanks the reactions of the people here. And, IMHO, it's a shame.
But that's only my opinion.
Thanks to all of the contributor for their help, now at least, I know that i don't have to seek further for a function that does not exist.

Moving photos from iPhoto to Bridge

Is there a good way to change from using iPhoto to Bridge on a mac? I tried creating a folder for Bridge and copying all the existing photos over, but it's a big mess. Each photo from 2013 went into it's own folder with labels that mean nothing. Help!

Is there a good way to change from using iPhoto to Bridge on a mac?
That depends on what you would define as good.
In basic the difference between iPhoto and Bridge is that iPhoto is a library based application storing different data and versions in a package file that by default show no subfolders, only a file (size depending on amount of photo's containing) called 'iPhoto Library' by default stored in your pictures folder.
Bridge is a browser that shows you the content of your disk, it can add metadata (file info, labels, rating etc) as well as rename the files. It enables you to move or copy them to other folders or locations. But for editing it needs other application which you can reach (primarily Photoshop) using the menu tools and choose PS / function you want or just open in ACR or PS.
The two are acting totally different but have the same goal, sorting and keeping overview of your images (or in case of Bridge also other files and folders).
If you are happy with the limited options iPhoto has for editing stay with it, it has also a pretty good function for faces and places, both are not able in Bridge.
But if you need more editing and sorting options switch to Bridge and PS.
The quickest way in my opinion is to go to Finder and open two windows. In one create a main folder where you can point Bridge to (using the folder panel) and in the other select the folder Pictures/iPhoto-library.
With your right mouse button click on this file you get a menu with the option to show the package content. click on that and a new window opens with the content of the iPhoto library in folders.
In latest versions there is a folder called 'masters' If I remember it also used to be called originals in previous versions. In this folder are your original files stored in folders per year you have shot them in. (these folders have a lot of subfolders but for now forget about this).
Copy those year folders (copy, don't move because then you loose them from iPhoto which you should only do when all is save and you are only working in Bridge so keep them as back up in iPhoto for now)
Then point Bridge to a year folder in your new created folder as per above. You will get a bunch of folders so now use menu view / show items from subfolders to open all the subfolders with their images and let Bridge build its cache first.
You can use the sort option as you like and if you wish you can also batch rename the images with the shot date in front (yyyymmdd) and a sequence number (menu tools / batch rename, explore the many options first).
You can choose to move all the images of 2013 to the main 2013 folder to bypass the subfolder tree, etc etc, many options.
Be sure to have a proper back up of your files before starting to experiment.
Sadly enough labels are always application specific and seldom interchangeable and iPhoto uses a separate database to store the ratings in so they are not written to the file itself and you loose also ratings.
The other option is to sort all labels / ratings in iPhoto, then select the photos per rating and use the export option (choose original for export option) to predestinated folders (per rating) and then apply those ratings again in Bridge.

HH 4 & TP-Link nano router WR702N (bridge mode)

I wonder if anyone can assist. I am trying to set up the tp-link device as a bridge, however whilst my hub recognises it as a device within the home network devices when I try to connect to the bridge it doesn't work.
I have set up the bridge with a static ip and can amend the bridge settings accordingly from this. Having followed the instructions from various sources I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have you followed the manual supplied by tp-link

Wie kann ich meine Fotos von iPhoto auf einen USB Stick laden?

Hallo zusammen
Ich dachte immer der iMac ist Vorreiter in allen Belangen. Jedoch Fotos von iPhoto auf einen hundsnormalen USB Stick mit Drag and Drop funktioniert nicht. Was kann ich tun oder muss ich zu einem sauteuren iMac auch noch ein sau teures Programm kaufen damit ich Fotos von A nach B verschieben kann.
Danke im Voraus und Gruss
Holzstuhl

Liebe(r) Babowa
Vorab Danke für die Antwort, ich werde es heute Abend ausprobieren. Ich schätze jede Hilfe die mich
weiterbringt und wollte keinen mit meiner Ausdrucksweise beleidigen. Ich bin nur wahnsinnig entäuscht
von Apple.
Wollte für meinen Schwiegervater schnell Mal die Fotos von meinem Mac auf seinen USB Stick laden
und es hat nicht geklappt. Gestern am Abend habe es mit allen möglichen Optionen versucht und es
war wieder erfolglos. Für mich muss ein System einfach zu bedienen sein, ich sitze nicht gerne stunden-
lang vorm Computer um 100 Fotos von einem Medium auf ein anders zu verschieben, weil Mac das bei
iPhoto 8 nicht kann, das ist lächerlich und peinlich. Mein nächster Computer wird ein "herkömmliches"
Gerät sein, sicher kein iMac mehr. Mein iPhone und den Rest der Apple Welt, welchen ich besitze
schiesse ich ebenfalls in den Wind und kaufe mir lieber weniger "in Produkte" aber welche ohne grossen
Aufwand zu bedienen sind und nicht speziell gegen den Austausch mit andere SW abgesichert sind.
Apple war in den 90er Jahren dem herkömmlichen PC weit voraus und hat alle getan, damit die Apple SW
kompatibel zu PC ist. Jetzt entwickeln sie sich in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, - schade.
Liebe Grüsse und noch eine schöne Woche

Showing linked files in Adobe Bridge not available for files on AD Volume?

In Bridge: when right clicking on a local InDesign Document that has external links, the context menu will have an action "show linked files" (in german "Verknüpfte Dateien anzeigen").
But, when doing the same on an InDesign Document located on an Adobe Drive Volume, this context menu action is missing.
1. Can this action be enabled for documents on Adobe Drive Volumes at all?
2. If so, are there any special things to do in the connector plugin (e.g. special properties, a special mime type for the doc, ...)?
3. If not so, when will you enable this functionality?

Really, no answer?
This issue is obvious. And it seems to be the case, that only Adobe can rectify the issue at all, probably in an updated Adobe Drive version.
Or maybe, someone already dealt with this issue and invented special properties for exposing linked files to Bridge? Though unlikely... Right?
Any answer is welcome!

How do I transfer photos from aperture and iPhoto to bridge?

How do I transfer photos from Aperture and iPhoto to Adobe Bridge. I am using Photoshop CS6. Many of my original photos were stored as raw files.

Here's how to access Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
and so that they may be viewed by choosing that folder in Bridge..
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop or view them in Bridge.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
And here is a Forum thread related to Aperture-to-Bridge
How do I transfer Apple Aperture library to Bridge?

"Edit photo" link in iPhoto Book Project does not work

Hi,
I am putting together an Book project in iPhoto. On a few pictures, I would like to edit them to make minor adjustments.
When I right click on the picture in iPhoto Book Project, there is an option to "Edit Photo".
When I click on the "Edit Photo" link, the screen switches to the iPhoto Edit page but the picture does not load for editing - it's just a black screen.
I can always edit the photo before placing it in the Book, but in a large Book it is more convenient to select the picture on the Book page rather than going back and look for it in iPhoto.
Anyone has experienced/fixed this? Is this a bug? I have version 9.2.3
Thanks
Armen

Are you able to go to the photo in its Event and edit it there? Apply the fix below:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #1 to repair permissions and #4 to rebuild the database.

Which compact camera wirelessly links to iPhoto

I am looking to buy a small wifi compact camera which will send images directly from the camera to my MacBook Pro using iPhoto and also sending them to my iPod. Many such cameras link to a PC but I can't see any which link directly to a MacBook. Can you advise. Thank you .
