you can tell us the technical specs of these photos.
I'm assuming, too high resolution
or some, for iMovie, 'exotic' format (cmyk.psd etc) .....

The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

HT1229 i have upgraded to yosmite and los my photos can you help please

lost my photos can you help please.

lost my photos can you help please.
Explain please:
How did you upgrade to Yosemite? Did you make a clean install and wiped the drive? Or did you install on top of the current system? In what way have you lost the photos?
is the iPhoto Library missing? Or do you get an error message, when you try to open iPhoto? What error message exactly?
Have you already updated the iPhoto application? You need to update to iPhoto 9.6 for MacOS X 10.10. The earlier versions will not work.

HT4101 i have purchased a lightning to sd card plugged it into my ipad but i cannot open the photos can you help please.

Hi i have purchased a lightning to sd card but i cannot get the photos to open can you help please.

How did the photos get onto the SD card that you are using ? Photos (and videos) on the card will only be recognised if the card has a DCIM directory off the root of it, and the photos are underneath that directory and their filenames are exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension (that should be how most digital cameras write photos to a card).

Layering photos...help please!

Please help!
P.S im not very computery so please explain using the easiest instructions you can!
Thanks

That's how layers works! The checkered backgrounds indicate transparency which is normal and which is what you want since you will probably be resizing the individual pictures. You want separate layers so that you can arrange the pictures in the collage. When you print the result all the pictures will appear placed on the background layer, as if you had flattened all the layers into one.

Empty iphoto library, albums still there, photos in Finder, help please

The last time I opened iPhoto with my library present, I got a message saying that this version of iPhoto could rebuild my thumbnails with better detail and did I want to rebuild now. I said yes, as they hadn't been rebuilt in a while. There were three files created after that ThumbJPGSegment.data, Thumb32Segment.data and Thumb64Segment.data. When I open iPhoto, it says "no photos" at the bottom and the screen is blank and gray. On the left only some of my albums are listed as they were, and all contain (0) photos. I do have all the pictures still there in Finder. I read the exchange from 10/31 with Terence and it would seem I have a corrupt file that needs to be copied or restored. I have a back-up of the library, but it exists in three parts. The first two were created using the backup facility back in June. Then I backed up, again with the utility, just the pictures between the last back-up and the end of our trip in July. We just completed a 10-month trip around the world and I have about 19G and 5,400 pix to restore and would like to keep them in the original albums, esp. since many have been photocasted and the links are all placed in a Photo Archive page on our website. Terence said to copy the library6.photo file from the backup to the hard drive, but can I do this in three parts? If I use the backup utility's restore command will that do it for me, considering the fact that the complete library is a combination of two different back-ups? Help please! Thx!

Folks
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need 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 Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders 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 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.

Cant see my photos in iphone4, help please!!!

Why i cant see my photos in iphone4? Help please!!!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Sound problem with QuickTime .dv files exported from iMovie ~ help please

Hi
I have been working for ages on an important project which is intended to wind-up as a numbered edition DVD, limited to 50 copies.
When I worked in iMovie HD 5 this NEW PROBLEM didn't arise: I did what I thought was the right thing and bought iLife '06, then upgraded from the Apple site, so now I am using iMovie HD 6.0.1, iDVD 6.0.1 and QuickTime Player 7.0.4.
I've designed my own menus and the procedure as most anyone will know [thanks iCreate magazine!] is...you have to 'export' (or now 'share') the iMovie to QuickTime (or with QuickTime) which produces a .dv file which you then drag-and-drop into iDVD.
I've got 4 of these .dv files for the start-up and some menus.
THE PROBLEM IS whereas the sound (it's actually music) has been faded out (in synch with the image) ~ in iMovie everything seems fine ~ but THE QUICKTIME .dv FILES HAVE AN ANNOYING LITTLE "FLARE-UP" OF MUSIC AT THE END OF THEM.
Imported into iDVD, in preview: sure enough! ~ you hear the annoying, untidy-sounding snips at the end.
It's ruining my project ~ please help, someone!

I am having the exact problem, it's a real show stopper.
I have tested hardware, software, media as below.
Tested on
1 Intel 17inch iMac
2 G4 AGP 450 + 1.2Ghz Model
Each have a fresh install of iLife 06 on
Each have been tested with different project files.
Differnet music files
The issue seems to be with apples iLife software to me.
I am on the phone to apple right now, they only surgest I create a new user as it generates new prefs, but the above test has already rulled out preference files!
Also rebuilding and reinstalling, but again the above test has rulled that out as the 3 machines were freshly built.
I have already upgraded my graphics card in my machine at home to sort out preview problems with iMovie, hopefully it's not going to be an expensive audio card aswell.
If any 1 can throw any light on this please do as apple support can't.
Regards
Paul

IPad/iMovie help please!

Hey there...I have the "New iPad and have recently downloaded the app iMovie and iPhoto in hopes of putting together a slide show for my daughter's 13th birthday. That being said, I have about 50 pictures that I selected, fixed to fit the screen and they worked perfectly and I was able to preview the slide show with no issues. Today when I started to add a few more pictures all the pictures seemed to overlap and the ones that I had fixed as far as how long I wanted them to show on screen changed to a much longer period (meaning that one picture would show for a very long time). In addition when I tried to preview the show it was a blank screen. you could see it was moving, however, everything was black. Does anyone have any ideas for me?
One more question...as I am new to this, do you think I am really chancing trying to put this on my PC so I can show it at the ice skating rink or is there a way to hook my iPad up to the projector at the rink?
Thank you for your help!
Bonnie

Hi Applefananswer,
If you are having issues transferring your project to your Camera Roll, you may want to try transferring it to iTunes on your computer, then transferring it back. This will also give you an opportunity to back up the file, should anything happen to it during further troubleshooting on your iPad. You may find the following article helpful:

Have I deleted all my photos?? Help, please!

I received an email with some jpg attachments that I wanted to save. So, I saved them to my pictures folder and then moved them to iPhoto. Then, once I had them in iPhoto I went back to my pictures folder to delete them from there but I think I accidentally deleted the iPhoto folder too. When I open iPhoto, I can see the list of events and photos - all the file names are there, it knows event names and how many photos are in each event, they all seem to be there under photos, even the folders I've made are there - with the correct names and number of images. BUT.... I can't see them. I go to open each image and I get nothing. I just can't believe that they're all gone, if I can still see their file names??? Oh - and I pulled the iPhoto folder from trash so it's not in there anymore. Can you tell I'm new to all this?

Cathy:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open the iPHoto Library package like this, go the Originals folder and verify that the original image files are still in the various subfolders. Once you do that launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
If that doesn't resurrect the library you'll have to start over with a new library and import the originals folder as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
To help recover from a similar problem in the future, damaged database file, see the tip at the end of my signature.
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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

IMovie help please?

Hi,
Downloaded iMovie and having trouble with the holiday theme. It is supposed to dot your geographical location but the closest it can get to the West Midlands is Manchester! This is terrible. I live a long long way away from Manchester and it doesn't have Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire or the West Mids in its location directory! Is this something I am doing wrong??

thanks, except the help article on the support site is incorrect.
It ztates that you can insert a custom location by clicking the "other" buttong, but this isnt true. If you type in a place that is not in the directory then it will not allow you to add it and I don't understand why it's having a problem with this. My location is found easily enough with google maps, yet to the iMovie app, I live 60 miles away!

Need iMovie Help, Please

My DH has a Hitachi Hybrid Camcorder DVD/HDD and I'm the lucky one who needs to deal with getting the movies from both HDD and the mini DVD onto a normal size DVD. I've hooked to the computer with the usb cable supplied with the camera. The HDD dics icon shows on the computer but I can't import into imovie. And, iMovie doesn't open automatically. And when I manually open iMovie, the HDD disc shows but when I click it nothing happens. (Please explain in simple terms) TIA

I suspect that the Hitachi Hybrid's hard drive records in the same format as its DVD recording format - MPEG 2. That's why I posted Appleman1958's tip - it's relevant to both the hard drive and DVD. Sorry, but your post was a bit confusing as it mentioned both recording methods! I wasn't clear on what you wanted to import from.
My understanding is that, for iMovie to be able to import MPEG 2, it must first be converted to a suitable format for editing. Hence the use of the tools mentioned by Appleman.
Hope this clarifies things!

PS Sorry about the reference to mini DVD's. People have been known to insert them into DVD slots, but didn't wish to imply that you were stupid

HT4356 After the latest update cannot print to my hp photos art 5510 help please

Updated to latest iOS 6.1.2 now just cannot print to hp photosmart 5510 this was working fine until now have tried switching ipad off ,also tried turning off printer tried switching router off just sits with item in printing queue even though it finds the printer,help please

You may have a print job stuck in the AirPrint cue of the iOS device, or the printer's firmware may be out of date. Do a firmware update first. You will find the directions linked below. If that doesn't work, clearing the cue should correct the problem. Double-tap the button on the front of your iOS device. This will bring up a menu along the bottom of the screen that displays all running apps. One of the apps should be Print Center, and it should have a number next to it. That is the number of print jobs you have in the cue. Touch the Print Center icon and a window will come up displaying the print cue. You will only be able to cancel one print job at a time, so make sure to cancel the last job you sent first, or every print job that was sent after the first one may print. Once the cue is clear, try using AirPrint again. Let me know what happens.

Custom Slideshow (photo gallery/shop) help please!

Hi! I am miffing my way around my 1st Muse site and desperate for help with customising a slideshow to perform as a photography gallery and shop.
I would like to make it possible for my customers to preview matte (black/white) and frame (black/white/wood) options and be able to purchase all on the same page. It's important for my workflow that I can integrate this programming into the site, rather than having to upload multiples of the same image with the different variables. Possible problems may be that my images would be different ratios (square / panoramic etc). Hope this makes sense?
Any help would be much appreciates, although I feel I'm at a point way beyond my skill level and may have to outsource.

Lost photos and albums - help please!

Hello
I'm worried that lots of photos in my iPhoto are lost.
I have clicked on some albums and they are empty.
Plus, some other older albums just don't seem to be there.
I just stopped myself importing 3,000 pics (I am not sure how I started importing pics, or where they were coming from!) and am worried that this would be the cause.
I haven't used Time Machine for a while, but could I get my old albums from there?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

sorry - I thought I was clear
In the future do not select the erase button in iPhoto - in stead select to keep the photos and wait until at ldease one sucessful backup cycle has completed then use hte camera's format command to erase and reformat the SD card
for now
1 -- Back up your iPhoto library,
2 -- Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys
3 -- and launch iPhoto
4 --- rebuild your iPhoto library database
does different formatting with step numbers make it more clear?
