Uploading Pics and Organizing
I have several questions regarding organizing in iPhoto 6.
1. Is there a way to save uploads to an album in addition to the main library? To date, I have to upload and then go to the main library and drag and drop all the photos I uploaded to a newly created album.
2. Is there a way to see what photos in the library have not been copied to an album? I like to have all my photos in albums, but when I download several new pics that belong in various albums, it is difficult to search through the library to figure out which photos have been copied to an album. My kids also download from their cameras, and I never know if they copied to an album or not.
3. In several applications, when I want to attach or open a photo from iPhoto to import/attach, I get a list of film rolls and file names/numbers and it is impossible to know what photo is what. Is there a way to get thumbnails instead so I can pick the right photo without having to go directly to iPhoto, find the pic I want, go back to the application and find the pic by its file name?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1 - yes but it involves uploading to a folder on the Desktop first. Then drag that folder into the Source pane in iPhoto and you'll get an album and roll with the same name as the folder. (IMO that's a safer way to upload from the camera as you avoid any aborted uploads due to low battery which can damage the library.)
2 - Yes. Create a Smart Album with the criteria "Album is not any". That will display all of those photos not in an album.
3 - You don't need to use the Finder to get a photo to attach to another application as iPhoto is designed so that you shouldn't use the Finder. See TD's treatis on file access. Using the Finder in the wrong way is committing the cardinal sin of iPhoto: Don't mess with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I just got my new MacBook Pro over the weekend, and was sooo excited. I wanted it to take back and forh to work with me. However on a website I use for work, I need to be able to upload files and pictures. but the area where the link/button "Browse" is normally at to add the pics or files, it is not showing up on my Mac. I thought maybe the site was messed up, but when I helped another coworker, I noticed on her screen (an HP computer) the link/button to browse files and upload is there. I came back to my MacBook Pro thinking maybe the website was working correctly again, but its still not showing up on mine. So I'm thinking its Mac related. MAybe theres a certain function I need to turn on for this?
I tried to unblock pop ups, even though its not a pop up screen, but this didn't do anything. HELP!!!!!If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues. -
How do I have my wife's iphone 4s upload pics to the same icloud I use for with my 4s and ipad? Can seem to change her icloud ID to match mine.
I can tell you how to do this but first wanted to be sure that's what you want to do. You would then be sharing the same iCloud account and any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) would then be merged and the merge data would appear on her phone and your iPad (i.e., you'll end up with each other's contacts on your phone). You would also both be backing up your devices to the same account, sharing the 5GB of free storage (assuming you're both backing up to iCloud).
There's an alternative setup that would allow her to set up your iCloud account on her phone as her primary account and just turn on photo stream in that account (allowing your to share you photo stream), then set up a secondary iCloud account on her phone that would sync her Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendars and Reminders. She would still have to back up her phone to your account, as well as syncing Safari, Documents and Find My iPhone (all of which can only be done in the primary account). Also, her mail would be fetch, not push as push email is only supported in the primary account.
I suppose a third option is to leave things as they are and share you photos with each other using shared photo streams.
Let me know what you want to do and I'll give you the steps. -
Photostream is on, on my iphone4.
Icloud is installed and working. It is set to upload/download photos, everything else is off, as it has been for the last year.
I have 4.8 gigs of 5 gigs available to me in icloud.
6 days ago photostream stopped uploading pics. Since then I uninstalled and reinstalled icloud. It made no difference.
I have 1.6 gigs free on my phone.
Nothing changed it just stopped.DFU mode:

Flash player not working. can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook
flash player not working. can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook
thanks for helping. I have windows 7, internet explorer. recently had to replace my hard drive, and compete reinstall of all software so still a few bugs on settings, ect. not seeing any error messages. video and uploading pics seemed to be fine until the last week. not sure what could have changed . I can still look at PDF ect, I'm not positive its the Adobe that is messed up, but the 2 things I'm having problems with, clicking on and watching video on espn.com and not uploading pics to Facebook, both just does nothing when I try them. no errors, just black screen where its suppose to play or upload. the trouble shooting for both sites say make sure to have the latest version of flash player, so thats why I assume something is wrong with Adobe. when I do the self scan from this site it says I have the latest version. my settings say the player is enabled

Quicktime movies with both pics and videos don't upload correctly to YouTub
I have a Quicktime movie with pictures, video clips and music. The quicktime movie plays fine in Quicktime, but only the video parts upload to YouTube. How do I fix this? I have tried converting from mov to flv before uploading and same problem.
I have uploaded Quicktime movies successfully with just pics and music and it has worked.I'm hopeful this explanation will fix this same problem I've been banging my head on for several days now as I thought I would get fancy and add some graphics from .jpgs but stretch them into video segments by properly adding them to the working video in QTPro on Windows. Both Youtube and Yahoo Video removed my graphics (tracks) so hopefully flattening will solve it however I am concerned about quality.
Before the graphic .jpg adds I was doing the following:
1. My vids strart off as MP4's from various clips taken from nother device. I load them into QT Pro in segments and then end up saving so they go to the .MOV format.
2. I upload to Youtube and all is good.
Now with the flattening of .MOV back to MP4's how much quality will I lose? Should I really add the graphics as part of step one and then the one time save to a default .mov cause me one generation less of video quality loss?
Tks for the help. -
My iPhoto wont display and i cant upload pics or even look at my library. how can i fix this?
My iPhoto wont display and i cant upload pics or even look at my library. how can i fix this?
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?
what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
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?
Come on. Give us something to work with here. -
Suddenly my Nikon Coolpix will not upload on to my 09 iphoto it takes for ever then it just shows blank squares no pics and a message that states it cannot read the JPEG files. Can anyone help me, please. I have never had this problem before.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
You could also try reformat the Card with your camera

My Mac's hard drive is full. Mostly of pics and movies. Can I upload and move photos to Icloud, then delete them from my Mac? If yes how?
Use something such as OmniDiskSweeper (my favorite) or Grand Perspective to find out where large files may be. iCloud isn't going to help much if you've so much data that it won't fit on a 1TB drive. Sounds as if it's time to either buy another drive or at least an external with more space.
Good luck,

im having a problem uploading pics to FB profile page from camera app. they are going into an IOS album instead. this just started feb 12th and i have had my phone since dec of 2012
1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now? -

Moving and Organizing Pics in iPhoto 6
I have an older MacBook Pro (2006), running 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6. My hard drive is getting low on space and I'd like to transfer some of my 30 gigs of pics to a 300 gig portable external hd. I'd love to keep the last year or two on my laptop so I don't have to take the external wherever I go. I've had problems in the past with moving pics to an alternate folder in order to find certain pics faster. iPhoto would not be able to find the pic and I would get a grey box with a question mark in place of the image. I'm hoping to not have this problem with 10 gigs worth of pics if I move them to an external. Also, if anyone can tell me the method to rebuild my iPhoto library and get those missing pics, I would appreciate it. The genius bar told me once, something about right clicking the app icon on my dashboard. I can't remember exactly. I'm obviously not a huge tech guy, so please go easy on me. Thanks for any help I can get.
The iPhoto library is a relational database and has no user serviceable parts - if you have mucked around in it your choices are to put it back - return things to exactly the way they were - load a backup or start over
You can move the entire library as a single entity and you can use iPhoto library manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to mover photos between different libraries - you can not use the finder to move photos around
