We want to create a photobook using iPhoto 11. Photos from shared libraries keep disappearing. Why?

Photos sent to a photobook from a shared library disappear. Why and how can we "save" the photobook to enable further work on it as a later date.

Yes.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • I upgraded from iPhoto to Photo and my pictures are disappeared ?

    I upgraded from iPhoto to Photo and my pictures are disappeared - why ?

    My question was so long, so I narrowed it down
    I can't open my photos via Photos, and I made sure that they are on my Capsule - so I (think) I have them. But I can't import them to Photo.
    How do I open iphoto Library with Photos?

  • Creating a photobook in iPhoto 09

    I have created a photobook in iPhoto which I am very happy with. I have added text but when I click on the tab 'Buy It' I get a message saying .....Your book appears to have default text that has not yet been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue with your order?....
    I really don't want to get the book printed without the text. I have tried using the default text but I still get the same message. I want to record in pictures and text the first year of my granddaughter life.
    Does anyone kindly have a solution to my problem.
    Thank you and happy new year to all Mac Fans
    Maggi

    that means that some place there is the latin default text unedited and it will not print - your text will - and Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    That is the only way to be positive of what you are getting

    how do i add photos to the photo array when creating a book using iphoto 8.1.2?  the book doesn't accept the albums and foldlers i drag and drop.

    I'd suggest you ask this question in the iPhoto forums:
    iPhoto
    Posting here is unnecessarily limiting the people who'll see your question to those running iMacs.

    First confirm that you can create a PDF file of your book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. Post back with the results.

  • How significant is the yellow hazard warning for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

    How significant is the yellow hazard warning message for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

    Are you talking about making a Book?
    How siginificant depends on how low resolution the photo is and how sensative you are to poor prints - it displays when a -photo will print below 180 dpi - what is the DPI of the photos that is givingyou the warning (the photo size divided byt the pixel size)

  • I have a survey sharepoint list, now i want to create a webpart using this list.

    Hi All,
    i have a survey sharepoint list, now i want to create a webpart using this list.
    webpart is to "display one question from survey sharepoint list(latest question)" and enduser participate on the survey when enduser submits the question(survey), save the result in to the list and result will display as graphical representation.
    How can i do this requirement, any help?

    You do not need to create a custom web part if you need to show the latest question and then display result in graphical way. The Survey list gives that OOTB.
    If there is a specific requirement, you can use Server/Client Object Model and achieve it.

  • I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder

    Add new photo to existing calendar folder in iPhoto
    I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder, but the picture does not show up on the scrolling menu of pictures at the left of the calendar-making page. This happened last year and in frustration I started all over again. But surely there is a way to add a new picture to a calendar that is already laid out.

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

    Try designating a System Photo Library. Then your apps will use that.

  • HT201302 The laptop I was using to upload photos from my iphone is no longer good and I want to use my desktop instead but it is displaying an error that the iphone has no photos in it. How do I start using my desktop to upload my photos from my iphone5?

    The laptop I was using to upload photos from my iphone is no longer good and I want to use my desktop instead but it is displaying an error that the iphone has no photos in it. How do I start using my desktop to upload my photos from my iphone5, is there any software I need to download?

    Photos on the phone in the DCIM folder are those located in the camera roll. Photos that are synced to the phone from the computer cannot be accessed in this manner. They are synced and the only way to manage them is to connect the phone, go to the photos tab and un-select the folders you want to remove or go into the folder photos are located in and remove the photos you no longer want to sync. Then sync the phone and the photos will be removed.

  • What device can I use to transfer photos from Iphone5s. Don't want to use my computer.

    What external device besides my computer can I use to transfer photos from
    my Iphone 5s.  Do I have to transfer to my computer and then external device?

    Normally the transfer is to your computer, treating the phone as a digital camera. However, you can also enable Photo Sharing. Or use Box.com or Dropbox. Or a 3rd party app such as MyPics that can save them to a Google Picasa site, or Shutterfly that can save them to Shutterfly albums.

  • How do I "move forward" photos in a photobook (after removing a photo from being placed)

    New to iphoto and Mac.  I've created a Book from 3 projects.  As I'm reviewing the photo book, there are photos I've decided I don't want and they have become Unplaced. 
    I'd like the remaining photos to be "moved forward" automatically - can this be done?
    Same question when changing a layout from say 2 photos per page to 6 photos.  All I end up with is a bunch of empty slots and I don't want to manually move forward a bunch of photos.
    Any tutorials or resources you can suggest would be helpful.  I've tried googling this problem, and am faced with too many answers about people and deleting the photo libraries etc.

    I think what I'm looking/hoping for, is that iphoto could (at least in the beginning stages) "repaginate" my album if there are photos I want to remove.  Just like when making a word document, when you delete some text, the rest of the text moves up and the document gets shorter.
    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    As i answered
    there is no way to move photos forwards or backwards
    so I created an album and iphoto slotted photos in there.  On further review - there are certain photos I just don't want (i.e. not nice enough, detract from overall book etc.).  If I remove something at the beginning, it's alot of manual work to move other photos forward.
    Same question as above - same answer as above
    The other situation is, when iphoto inserts the photos, it might not necessarily keep certain photos together (in this case, it's my parents' trip to Ireland) and we have a preference to keep photos from the same venue together on a page, not split by a page-flip.  This is where I'd want to change a layout from say 2 photos to 6 photos and would like to automatically move the previous pages photos forward to be placed in the new empty slots.
    And for the third time - exactly the same question - and of course exactly the same answer
    I reallly think this is a very clear statement
    there is no way to move photos forwards or backwards
    Am I asking too much?
    You can ask - but what you want is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    As to your use of the existing features - totally your choice - some people use certain features and other do not - do what you please
    I generally find that if I am careful in selecting photos then Autoflow is a good start - but not always - just depends
    And I usually fill holes with additional photos that I did not originally choose or change the number of photos in the layout I use for that page
