Trouble Setting up Flickr from iPhoto '09

I already have a Flickr account and I want to send photos from iPhoto to Flickr. When I click on an album and then on the Flickr button, iPhoto asks me if I'd like to set up iPhoto to publish to Flickr. I press "Set Up", which sends me to the Flickr site, where I authorize photos to be sent. When I go back to iPhoto, the window is still up asking if I'd like to set up iPhoto to publish to Flickr. Flickr has already allowed iPhoto access, but no matter how many times I click the "Set Up" button, it doesn't go away or change to reflect what I've done. How do I get iPhoto to recognize that I've already set up Flickr?
All help appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hi Adam,
First, we have 3 accounts linked to Flickr so we can confirm that the upload link does work. We remember that Flickr asked permission to use a third party uploader and once this was approved everything worked and a time bar appeared telling you how long the upload's going to take. This process was done in Leopard and we haven't had any issues fortunately.

Trouble setting an album from iphoto as screensaver. It says no photos exist in the album and yet they are clearly there.

An album in iphoto has 134 photos in it and yet when asked to use for screensaver in system preferences it reads as no photos. Even if I selec all......

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhoto to my Seagate External Hard Drive

Im new to Mac and I was doing fine with my new laptop but somewhere along the way I have reach to a point where I cant continue my work. I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhotos to my Seagate External Hard Drive, even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air. Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so. Pls. help me in my sistuation or derect me to a website that will answer my questions. I am getting really upset and frustrated; so I'm out of ideas.

even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air.
What is the file system on that drive? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
And what is your iPhoto version? iPhoto 9.5.1?
Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so
What exactly happens when you try to drag photos to your drive? Are you dragging from iPhoto's window to the drive?
Can you export your photos, when you select the photos on iPhoto and use the command "File > Export"?

How do I export a set of pictures from iPhoto to Photos

My MacBook Pro now has OS X 10.10.3 and the new Photos app.
I have over 30K pictures in the iPhoto app in this laptop, and I do not have the need to sync all of these pictures with all of my iOS devices; I won't be using iCloud.
I was not able to determine if Photos can import sets of pictures from iPhoto; I could have imported all of my pictures from the iPhoto library but did not find out if Photos does have the option to import sets as per user's needs; I saw Photos allow the user to select those he/she wants to import but I don't think I would like to select these one by one from 30K photos.
I will like to transfer sets of these pictures selected by date taken from iPhoto and export them to Photos library I created in an external volume. I need to free some space in my HD.
Any suggestions?

There is no way to import from an iPhoto Library to a Photos one. You can migrate an entire Library at one time, that's all. Otherwise your choice is to export from iPhoto to the Finder, thereafter import to Photos.

How do I Sync a set of pictures from iphoto..?

I am new to Apple TV. Very nice divice and implementation.
But I do have a question. When I was trying to Sync pictures with iTunes. I get an option to sync Iphoto, but it idoes not let me select which set of pictures to sync. It would be nice to be able to select them by date or category wo whn I view them I do not have to oepn one folder and scroll until I find the picture I want. Is there a way I can syncronize pictures from Iphoto by cetegories, folders or date..?
Is there a folder where the iPhoto pictures are stored..?
Thanks

You don't necessarily need to create albums, you could sync your events by choosing that option in the sync options in itunes. I however prefer albums because there are often photos in the events I don't necessarily wish to get rid of but don't want as part of a slideshow on my tv.
To create an album in iphoto, you can do one of two things: Create an empty album in the albums section on the LHS of the iphoto window by either using the '+' button in the bottom LH corner or from the file menu and then drag the photos of your choice to it. Or
Select all the photos you want in an album first and choose either the '+' or the file menu to create the album.
You can choose to sync these albums from the sync options under the photo tab in the sync options in itunes.

Can't set desktop image from iPhoto

my just purchased 17' macbook pro will not set the desktop image from my iphoto pictures I imported from my time machine

iPhoto uses the images from your Photos app. If you have an edited photo in iPhoto that you want to use as a wallpaper all you have to do in iPhoto is to Share or Copy the image to your Camera Roll. It will then be available for use as Wallpaper.

Default Copies Setting When Printing From iPhoto...Help

I have the latest version of iPhoto '08. In a previous version I needed to print 12 copies of a bunch of photos. Since upgrading every time I go to print it prints out 12 copies unless I remember to go to customize and change to 1 copy. The 12 copies is the "standard" setting. No other application has this problem. HELP. How do I get this back to default copies of 1. Thanks!

Thanks for the very quick reply! I had tried that earlier but just moved it to the desktop and let iPhoto create a new one...that didn't work. However, moving it to the trash instead DID work. Strange. Thanks and the problem is solved now! Very much appreciated!!!

Trouble ordering a book from iphoto

I recently made a book on iphoto and got an email saying I had the wrong font so it would not print. After checking that my font was in fact True Type and not the Post Script they warned about I am left not knowing what to do. Any advice?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
book theme are you using?
what font are you using?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Will my previously sync'd Flickr photos (from iPhoto) get removed from Flickr

Hi,
I am very nervous of using the new Photos App and losing all my previously sync'd Flickr Photos that I configured from iPhoto - some of them have thousands of views / comments and fav's that I would hate to lose.
My photo library has been migrated to Photos App now, so I presume that as long as I don't fire up iPhoto again, I should be fine - as once the photos are sync'd to Flickr from iPhoto then as long as iPhoto doesn't try and remove them it should be fine and it can't do that if you don't start it up.
My concern is what happens when I try and share a photo to Flickr from the new Photos App - is this going to reset all my photos that have been previously shared to Flickr (and hence lose the previously uploaded ones from iPhoto) or will it just share additional photos as a new individual photos? It seems whereas iPhoto ran a complex Sync type relationship with Flickr, the Photos App Sharing to Flickr is much more basic.
Can anyone put my mind at rest because I would be mortified to end up losing my Flickr Photos?

Help with sending to Flickr from iphoto

As you've already been told MMe has been defunct since last June. This website by Roger Wilmut describes several alternative photo sharing sites that you can use to replace the MMe Galleries: Missing in iCloud page 4.
Another option is to obtain your own website hosting account and use iWeb's Photo page layout or Album layout to create your own personal website and photo galleries. Examples of the two are in these demo pages: Using an iWeb Album Page as an Alternative to MobileMe Galleries and Using an iWeb Photo Page as an Alternate to a MobileMe Gallery.

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

IMovie won't upload/recognize certain iphone videos from iPhoto.

I have a MacBook, Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I have recently started making some more movies to document my daughter's life in iMovie. I am having trouble getting certain movies from iPhoto to transfer to iMovie. When I opened iMovie it said it was making thumbnails, and it did...but not for all of the movies from my iPhone. I didn't realize this until I was almost done with my movie in iMovie. I restarted both iMovie and iPhoto to try to get the movies recognized. I have tried so many different things and nothing is working. All movies are .mov form. I am using the '08 version of both iMovie and iPhoto. Now I can't drag the movies anywhere, they are grey when I look them up in Finder. Any ideas?
Here is a screenshot from one of my attempts to make it work.

This is a forum for the MacBook Pro hardware. I would suggest taking your question to the iMovie forum where you will get faster, and better, service.

Uploads from iphoto 11 to flickr

I'm having trouble keeping descriptive data on my photos when I upload them to Flickr. I'm using iPhoto 11 on Lion. I have a large set of images that were digitized from old slides, so they were all given a creation date as if they were "shot" at that time (June, '11). Using iPhoto, I have manually changed the date on each image to indicate the date it was actually shot. I have also used iPhoto to add descriptions on many of the images. Now, when I use the automatic uploader connection between iPhoto and Flickr, the descriptions show up on Flickr just fine, but the dates all revert back to when the images were digitized. On the other hand, if I export the images from iPhoto to my Mac and upload them from there using the Flickr interface, the new dates I assigned are retained correctly, but the descriptions are lost. Is there any way to get my photos into Flickr with both the new date and description data I entered in iPhoto? I asked the Flickr support people about this, and they said it was a third party issue (iPhoto's uploader, I assume).

If you do not have a backup of your iPhoto 6 library then you will have to start over - you can open the iPhoto '11 library (right click and show package contents) and duplicate the originals folder - move this duplicate (be extremely careful not to make any other changes) to the G4 and import the photos to your iphoto 6

Exporting to Flickr for Backup from iPhoto '09

I take a lot of photos and I use flickr pro as a way to archive my photos. I have roughly one hundred “sets” which need to be uploaded to flickr but don’t know of any way to do it other than set by set, which is a pain in the butt. Is there anyway to get iPhoto to automatically upload all of my “events” as “sets” on flickr? I have tried some a few third party apps but was rather disappointed by their performance.
iPhoto ’09 does have the option to share photos on flickr, but as soon as the photos are removed my iPhoto library, they are also deleted from flickr.
Thanks for your time I appreciate everyones suggestions!

You'll need a third party app or plug-in to do this. No there's no way to do it automatically. I've used FlickrExport and found it to be good.
