"Add image to iPhoto Library" in safari doesn't show up anymore!

               Hey, I got a problem with my computer. Normally, When i right click an image, a tab window shows up with an option to "add image to iphoto". Now it doesn't come up anymore. Please tell me how to fix this!

Well given that we don't know what version of OS X you're on, what version of Safari you're using and it's the iPhoto forum and not the Safari one, the best I can suggest is that you try repair permissions with Disk Utility

  • Add image to iPhoto library doesn't open IPhoto screen

    OS 10.4.10
    Ibook G4
    1.5 GB Ram
    iPhoto 5.0.4
    Hi,
    When I want to capture a picture, whether from the web or elsewhere, I usually press control-click and a pop down window appears with various choices, one of which is "Add image to iPhoto library". Ordinarily, what happens is that the iPhoto screen appears, says "loading photos" and I see the image I have added.
    Today, I have pressed control-click, "Add image to iPhoto library", but the iPhoto window didn't open. The application opened because the tool bar (menu?) at the top was iPhoto, and said so at the far left corner.
    The weird thing then was that when I did get the iPhoto screen to open (and I don't remember what I did to do that) all the pictures I thought I hadn't downloaded, were there.
    I admit I have been having some weird things going on in all my programs and in the finder, such as lots of the beach ball, and the stopped watch; putting the cursor into a line of text not to select but to write, and the word and/or the line got selected. Other things too. But iPhoto has been reliable up to today. I'm pleased that I /did/ get the pictures after all, but I'd like to know why the iPhoto screen didn't appear as usual.
    Thanks for any help you can give,
    Rafael

    My concern is that your issue is not with iPhoto, but a more generalised one - especially when I read

    I would have that Hard Disk checked, this could be the beginnings of a hardware issue.

  • How do I disable "Add Image to iPhoto Library?"

    When you right click on an image in Safari, it gives you the option to add the image to your iPhoto Library. I never ever want to do this. How can I remove that context menu item? I click on it accidentally all the time and it's really annoying. I really want to just remove it.

    Thanks for clarifying. Good luck with getting that changed. See http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/Tools/Conceptual/Safari ExtensionGuide/ExtensionsOverview/ExtensionsOverview.html for a possible disabling method.
    If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • "Add image to iPhoto library" without iPhoto loading up?

    Hi guys, is this possible? I like the option to just throw any photo I see into my iPhoto library but it's annoying that iPhoto loads up to do it.

  • Adding images to iphoto library??

    i was just wondering.. when you push CTRL + MOUSE CLICK ( i dont know what to call it??) on an image on a website, it says "add image to iphoto library"... i notice that these pictures go into my iphoto program.. but where does the file save to? like if i wanted to use them later?!?! i am very confused.. please help!
    and also, when i save pictures files into the iphoto folder (in the finder), they don't show up in the actual iphoto program??
    sorry for the dumb questions!!

    where does the file save to? like if i wanted to use them later?
    There are several ways to access a file that is inside your iPhoto Library:
    * Drag and drop - from iPhoto to your desktop or to certain applications will create a copy of the photo outside of your library
    * Control-click (or right-click) on a selected photo in your iPhoto library and choose "Show File" to see a Finder window with that file selected.
    * File > Export > File Export selected photo(s) to export a copy. This is the most flexible choice, with the option to downsize or rename the files during the export. Great for preparing files for uploading to websites or for storing on CD or DVD. Exporting always creates a copy; iPhoto retains the files inside its database.
    when i save pictures files into the iphoto folder (in the finder), they don't show up in the actual iphoto program??
    The concept with iPhoto is that you allow it to manage the files. You stay out of its filing system and manipulate your photos via the iPhoto application. This means that to get photos into your library, you must import them. (As Niel said, "consult" iPhoto.) Saving directly into your iPhoto Library folder does not work. Either open iPhoto and choose File > Import, or drag the photo's icon into the iPhoto window.
    For more information, try the Apple iPhoto multimedia tutorial here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/.
    No question is dumb except the one that goes unasked. If you need more help, don't hesitate to post.

  • Can I add an old Iphoto library to the current one or just open one at a time

    Is there any way to add an old iphoto library from a disc back into the current library?  Or do I have to just switch them back and forth?

    You can merge libraries using the pais version of iPhoto Library Manager
    iPhoto it's self can only use one libeary at a time

  • HT5037 The iPhoto Library Upgrader tool doesn't work. I've downloaded it, and follow the directions, but iPhoto still won't open.

    The iPhoto Library Upgrader tool doesn't work. I've downloaded it, and follow the directions, but iPhoto still won't open.

    Your Library is damaged.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    As for goign back: do you have an undamaged library?

  • I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing.  I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

    I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing.  I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

    How did you rebuild?
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Where are iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons...?

    When installing Leopard, my main internal "Macintosh HD" (where all my programs are loaded) didnt show as an option, so I installed on my secondary HD. Leopard runs OK from here, BUT, I cant find my iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons, and the programs in the dock no longer show. Any advice?

    Sadly, this is still an issue.
    I guess plan A would be to find all the settings I am now missing and point the various programs to them. Though not sure how to do either of those things.
    If this is difficult, then plan B is to "boot back into ...Tiger drive" and reload Leopard in drive bay 1 as originally intended. Again, not sure how to do that - and why it didnt work the first time.
    Pls let me know if you think this is the right plan, and if so, what would the steps required look like.

  • I put a Favicon on my website, which can be seen in the adress line and the tab header. However, when I add this site to the bookmarks, it doesn't show it's favicon.

    I put a Favicon on my website, which can be seen in the adress line and the tab header. However, when I add this site to the bookmarks, it doesn't show it's favicon. I have tried deleting and creating a bookmark and also refreshing the webpage or clicking on the bookmark. I don't know what else to do. I use Firefox 4.0.1

    I'm getting favicons for most of my bookmarks, so there might be some issue with the coding or the image format.
    Do you use a tag like this in your page?
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/path/to/favicon.ico"/>

  • IPhoto will not load the iPhoto library.  When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it.  I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

    iPhoto will not load the iPhoto library.  When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it.  I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

    I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
    recreate the library I believe.  It's been a while so I cant remember
    exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
    have had no problems with it.

  • Safari doesn't show Chinese characters in a specific site?

    Hi all,
    I've just found a weird thing that Safari doesn't show Chinese character in this site.
    http://blog.bcxstudio.net/
    It works in Firefox (Mac and win), Chrome (mac and win), IE 6-9, Safari for Mac, but not Safari on Windows.
    However, when I browse other websites like Yahoo hong kong and Apple HK. There is no problem.
    http://hk.news.yahoo.com
    http://www.apple.com/hk
    My best guess is that the site may uses some fonts (CSS3 @font-face?) that safari did not support.
    Anyone knows what happened?
    I am on Windows 7, Safari for Windows 5.0.2 (7533.18.5)
    Thank you!

    That's a bit odd ... I'm getting the opposite effect at the moment on my XP SP3. I'm not seeing the text in IE 8 (I don't think I've got the International character sets installed for my XP Pro), but they show fine in my Safari 5.0.2.
    Are you still seeing the effect at your end at the moment, b?

  • Safari doesn't show up on new user accounts

    I created a new account and Safari doesn't show up. I have updated with MacOS Combo 10.6.3v1.1 and then repaired disk. Problem still occurs. My main account still works...it's only on other accounts. Any ideas??

    Do they have access to the /Applications?
    Is the icon for Applications in the dock?
    Did you open the folder with the command or open to / or Computers?
    To say there is a ? still doesn't tell if Safari is there, moved, or your account lacks access.

    If an extension isn't working properly then you need to take this up with its developer.
