When using iPhoto to buy photo books, is Apple going to take ownership of my photographic material?

Hi,
I like iPhoto for its features and ease of use; however, I'm unclear on its privacy policy.
When using iPhoto to buy photo books, is Apple going to take ownership of my photographic material?
Can Apple use my pictures to advertise Apple products or services?
I've asked these questions twice to the apple privacy postmaster, but they only reply with a boiler plate of links to get further support or they simply ignore my email. Should I assume the worse?
I like iPhoto, but I'm not going to use it if I don't know that my privacy is satisfactorily safeguarded.
Thank you for any insight

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder, what happens if I delete the photo in Iphoto ? Will the original file in the folder be deleted too?

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
2. when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?

1 - no -- iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management

Using iPhoto to manage photo syncing to Apple TV

Hi,
I don't normally use iPhoto. This is not really because I dislike the program as such; just that I prefer to use a different program to manage my photos (Picasa). However, I've just acquired an Apple TV, and it seems I might need to use iPhoto to to get the best results for syncing photos to the ATV. I tried syncing without using iPhoto, but subfolder structures are not synced from my Mac to the ATV. I'm told that what I need to do is create an album in iPhoto for each subfolder I want to mirror on the ATV. So, I have two questions:
1. What's the easiest way of replicating my existing folder structure in the finder within iPhoto 08? I have, for example, a folder for a year, and within that subfolders for various periods within the year. I also have a number of specific subject-based subfolders (e.g. a specific holiday or visit). Bear in mind also that I don't want to duplicate the photo files themselves by adding them to an iPhoto library – I want to leave the original files where they are.
2. Suppose I add a photo to an album within iPhoto, and I then later edit the original photo file using another application. How will this change be handled by iPhoto? Will it be reflected in the album and synced across to ATV next time I sync?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

The most simple way to replicate your existing folder structure is to start at the bottom of your hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Source or left-hand pane in iPhoto.
It will import the pics and create an album from them.
You can create the enclosing folders in iPhoto (File -> new Folder) and drag the album to the folder. You can nest folders inside folders.
So folder 2001, Folder January: Album New Year’s Day... etc.
Note that Smart Albums and the Calendar tool make this form of organisation pretty pointless in iPhoto.
Bear in mind also that I don't want to duplicate the photo files themselves by adding them to an iPhoto library – I want to leave the original files where they are.
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
I generally would not recommend running iPhoto in Referenced Mode, but you’re using Picasa as your primary app.
Will it be reflected in the album and synced across to ATV next time I sync?
As long as you don’t move or rename the file, yes.

Why can I not upload an assembled photo book to Apple?

I have created a photo book which has 76 pages. I am able to assemble the book and preview and save it as a pdf, but when I try and buy the book through Apple, my computer hangs when it gets to the Upload stage. I have tried clearing the cache and using different proxy servers, all to no avail. This is extremely frustrating as I have a deadline to get the book printed by. I can get no help from Apple as the call centre is not open on Sundays in Asia, and when I call the US number, it drops my call after promising to connect me to an apple expert!
Any ideas anyone?

I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.
"Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
What do they mean by published albums? I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
Confused and frustrated...

Give this a try: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

I must not have chosen a hard back book when I started my project of creating a photo book. when I go to buy the book it only allows me to buy the small soft cover book. How would one go about to chage the settings?

What version of iPhoto?
THe basic answer to duplicate the book as things may change when you change size, select themes again and pic the cover and size you want -
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.

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I (quite honestly) am one of those folks that generally do not read the KB articles associated with a patch or UR or SP - as you don't expect details like have been put into this particular one.
But as Kristian pointed out - within that KB article is the SQL script that modifies / updates this SQL Stored Procedure.

Needless to say, the feedback was given to MSFT that folks would overlook that this SQL script needed to be run. So we are just trying to help out.

Error message buying Photo Book

I have prepared a photo book using iPhoto v9.6 and when I click to buy the book I receive this message "An error occurred while contacting the Apple Online Store. Please try again". I kept trying but no joy.
I have tried rebooting the computer and the router but to no avail. Any suggestions? Is this connected to Apples recent accessing issues?

have you checked your payment information for your appleID? Sometimes this problem occurs, when you need to update the expiration date of your Credit Card.are you able to buy a dream from the iTunes Store?
Check your settings at the Apple Store:

Click the link to your account (to the left of the shooting Cart). Enter all information again, not just check it - there may be invisible character. Make sure, that Express Checkout is enabled.

How to use iPhoto with 1 photo library and 2 user accounts on 1 iMac ?

Title says it all.
I don't want to have a double picture library, it takes enough space from my harddisk already.
My wife and I share the same camera too. We want to see the same pictures when using iPhoto.
Possible solution: Do I have to make a softlink from 1 user account to the photo lib that belongs to the other account ? [in Terminal: ln /Users/.... etc.)
(Yes, I'm an ex-Linux user)
Thnx
Fred4711

If you want to have the same data, do you need separate accounts? A surprising number of people think that must have separate ccounts and they really don't need to.
Anyway:
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
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.
