Incorrect. iPhotos is not removed at all. It can still be used as long as you have kept your Software up to date. Otherwise
Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!

  • You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?

    Long story short, I made a backup using TimeMachine of my iMac.  I got my MBA which was being repaired and i restored from backup.  Everything works fine, except for iPhoto which is not saying:
    "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?"
    I have OS X 10.7.2 and iPhoto 9.1.4.  I've tried:
    Repairing permissions
    Deleting iPhoto, installing agaian, and updating
    Repaired iPhoto Library (stays stuck at 98% when rebuilding database)
    I've also tried iPhoto Library manager which cannot even see the library
    Tried restoring from backup from iPhoto and it messed up library (I still had my backup)
    Quite frustrating - any ideas on how to get iPhoto back to life?

    Dunno why Software update was not displaying the latest version of iPhoto (9.2.1 as of January 27, 2012)...updating to this has fixed the issue

  • I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    Simple:
    File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
    Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
    After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

    You use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for that job - or upgrade to a later iPhoto.

    iPhoto keeps crashing! - then needs to repair the library. This is happening each time I import photos or even try to go in to an even and delete photos etc. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please it is so frustrating - I used to love iPhoto - now I regret upgrading to Lion

    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?

  • I am creating a Photo Book on iPhoto, when I previewed it, it appears a black strip on the border of each page, how can I solve this?

    'm doing a photo book in iPhoto, when I do a preview I get an edge on the outside border of each sheet. The edge is small, and seems to be a repeatition of the cover page. I did a preview in PDF and then appears as a black or white line. Can anyone help?

    The photos is the book tray are sorted by date.  So to get them in the order you want you need to do this;
    1 - group them in an album and manually sort in the order you want.
    2 - select all and go to the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option.
    3 - select a 1 minute time differential between photos and click OK.
    4- add the photos to a book and they will be in the order you need.

  • I just reinstalled and this is the question that show "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?"  what do i do next

    I just reinstalled and this is the pop up that shows "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?"  what do i do next? it just keeps popping up and loading but only gives a quit button?

    Update it.
    How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
    If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
    Otherwise you update via Softare Update

  • I have 2 photo books in iPhoto. Is there some way of storing them elsewhere on my computer so that they don't get accidentally deleted?

    I have 2 photo books in iPhoto. Is there some way of storing them elsewhere on my computer so that they don't get accidentally deleted?

    Yes.  This tutorial describes how to go about it: #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. For future books I suggest you start out with a new library and copy the needed photos to it from your current library with iPhoto Library Manager .

  • HT4927 Are there ways to only upload certain photos from my iphoto backup? It is really big and I don't want all the photos on my new computer.

    Are there ways to only upload certain photos from my iphoto backup? It is really big and I don't want all the photos on my new computer.

    There is a way to find and recover individual photos from a Time Machine backup. 
    1 - dowload and launch  Find Any File.
    2 - select the Time Machine hard drive in FAF's Find Items menu.
    3 - enter the full file name of the photo you want to recover into FAF and use the Find button.
    NOTE: it will take a while for FAF to retrieve and display the results of the search due to the nature of how TM makes its backups. 30 seconds or so is normal.
    4 - select the file in the Masters folder and use the Space bar to verify it's the one you want with Quickview.
    5 - drag the file from the FAF window to your Desktop.
    6 - repeat for each photo you need to restore.

  • How can I move my old iPhoto library into a Referenced Library format and use that as my default?

    Hi, I have been using iPhoto for photo management where all the jpegs have been living, in organized events by date and subject for some time. I recently upgraded to aperture and am using the same iPhoto library. The issue I have is that I use Carbonite for my cloud back up and I am able to look at the pictures I have on my PC with the same folder organization I have them on my PC hard drive. This is apparently not possible for iPhoto library. The only way to access a picture on the iPhoto library in the cloud is to go through the master and hope you can find the specific picture since they are not organized in a comprehensible manner (like events or folders) in there.
    So the only solution I can think of is to move the current iPhoto library to a referenced image library and use that as my default library from now on. This way I get cloud access and the events will hopefully turn into folders with dates and subjects that I can continue to keep organized to satisfy my OCD tendencies.
    So the question I have is that:
    1. How can I make a reference Library for Aperture/iPhoto?
    2. How do I move the current library to the Referenced Library in an Organized manner? My wish list would be a series of folders labeled with the date and the subject, like I have in my iPhoto library right now.
    3. If there is any alternative, your suggestions and recommendations would be much appreciated.
    My computer: Mac Mini (Mid 2012), Lion, 16GB RAM.
    Thank you kindly,

    Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
    you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library.  As Terence Devlin said:
    File -> Relocate Masters
    What you should set up:
    Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
    Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
    Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
    Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

  • IPhoto suddenly doesn't seem to recognize my camera, and essentially freezes. The only thing that makes sense is that another person in my house imported using a different camera and that changed things somehow. Ideas?

    Hi There!
    The camera is a Panasonic Lumix. I don't have a USB card reader. I did try and different port although not a different cable.
    I did remember one additional thing. I plugged my camera in at work to a PC. It was after that, when I came home, that the iPhoto wasn't working when I connected my camera to our iMac/iPhoto at home. I think this may have caused the problem.
    Cheers!

    I am having issues with my web module on Lightroom 4 (Mac OS 10.9.5). "an unknown error occurred" while trying to upload to my FTP (no changes in my FTP). Bandaid fix was to export to local folder and upload via Filezilla. However, now that is no longer working and although upload completes, the URL takes you to a "Forbidden - do not have permission to read this file" page. Lightroom is changing the permissions of each file to 000 instead of 644 for index files and 755 for all others. How can I change the permissions settings in Lightroom?

    It should be within a few days, but it might vary a bit by bank/provider :
    I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
    Rajagopal.pngr :-  It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple.

  • I want to use QuickBooks for my very snmall bussinesso the recommendation from my accountant was QuickBooks (Windows). I just do not understand enough to decide whether to buy QuickBooks for Apple or Windows and use it in the Parallels world?

    I want to use QuickBooks for my very small bussiness, the recommendation from my accountant was QuickBooks (Windows). I just do not understand enough to decide whether to buy QuickBooks for Apple or Windows and use it in the Parallels world?

    QuickBooks for Mac has been available again since at least 2004 (Intuit before that had done nothing with it for years). The current version is QB for Mac 2014. It's pretty much the same price no matter where you look.
    The Mac version data is not directly compatible with the Windows version. Sending your data out to your business tax accountant and getting it back in is not at all easy. It's such a pain, our accountant comes here to finalize the books at year end.
    There is still also a lot of Windows features for QB Pro which have never been added to the Mac version. They're all on the higher end side that larger businesses would need. I've never run into anything with the Mac version I couldn't do.
    If your accountant wants ease of data transfer, then you'd be better off purchasing Snow Leopard Server and run that in Parallels. Then run the Windows version of QB in that.
