Adding photo to iPhoto 9.2.1 slideshow reorders Source list

Hi All
I have made a slideshow (100 photos) in iPhoto 9.2.1 and being careful duplicated the slideshow. I then added more photos to the duplicated Slideshow source list only to find the slideshow re-orders the list of photos. I've never experienced this problem before. Quitting and reloading doesn't stabilise the Slideshow.
I managed to add another 8 by adding 1 then couple at a time. But now trying to add more just 1 photo re-orders the list.
I've also turned off the music.
I never had a problem with 100+ slideshows with iPhoto before. Apart from trying to change the lead photo which would cause iPhoto to freeze.
Anyway, has anyone else experienced this issue and can anyone suggest a way around this ?
Thanks so much. JJ

I've had this very same issue and it's making me very upset. I'm looking for an answer to this!

Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

Adding photos from iphoto to ipod nano 6th generation

I want to take photos from iphoto (mac os x 10.6.8) and put them on my ipod nano 6th generation. I can't find anything on itunes that mentions photos and my ipod doesn't show up in iphoto or applications.

Thanks. I followed through with those instructions. Now when I go to sync, I don't want everybody else's music to show up on my ipod. How do I sync? And if I check sync only checked songs, will it sync ALL checked songs? We have alot of songs, but I don't want all of them. How can I manually sync?
Thanks!

Added photo to iphoto but doesn't show up in media browser?

I have added some photos to an event in iphoto...then they do not show in media browser in pages...any clue why...has worked quite a few times before

The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar. I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to.

Adding photos in iPhoto 6 to make a book

when I add some pictures to create a book the picture has a yellow triangle in the corner with a exclamation mark in it and a message that the picture is not composite. Will the yellow triangle be in the book picture or will the picture not print in the book, and how do I get the triangle to go away?
thanks, Charles
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPhoto 6.0

cpfair:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That yellow triangle indicates that the photo in the frame that it's in is below Apple's recommended resolution. It will still print, without the triangle.
What are the pixel dimensions of the images? A full sized image with pixel dimensions of 2019 x 1514 will give a low resolution warning for a full page, full bleed application. At 2114 x 1585 give no warning. Many users have reported getting that warning and the resulting prints in the book were fine. If you're really below the level then you will see a difference. I've used 1600 x 1200 images for almost full page files with good results.
Do you Twango?
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, 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.

Trouble adding photos from iPhoto

I've been getting an error message whenever I try to update my nano:
"Some of your photos, including the photo "PICT0002.JPG" were not copied to the iPod "iPod nano 4GB" because they cannot be displayed on your iPod."
After updating, it appears that indeed none of the photos in the selected iPhoto album have been added. I have used the same procedure for adding these pics to my iPod photo (iPod preferences in iTunes) without any problems.
Any ideas?

Metrodus,
I am having the exact same problem. The photos I am trying to sync are in JPG format from a Ricoh Digital Camera.
I am running iTunes 5.0 on Windows XP SP2 using an iPod Nano (4GB).
I have tried sync'ing other supported file formats and get the same error message.
I have over 2.5GB available space on my iPod.
Have you been able to fix this?

ITunes doesn't see new added photos in iPhoto Album

Hello:
Am attempting to sync an iPhoto Album using iTunes on a iMac, 10.7.2 to an iP4 running iOS 5.1 Have successfully sync'ed this iPhoto Album to the iP4 for some time... Now, in iTunes, the number of photos in the Album does not agree with the count in iPhoto; iTunes does not see the photos I added in iPhoto today; so the sync doesn't put them on the phone. (Have used at least two methods to add these to the Album in iPhoto; it consistently shows them added and photo count incremented...)
Any suggestions/help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

OK...for anyone having this problem... It seems that iMac/iPhoto may save image items with image extensions as "documents", not with a .jpg / image extension. Even when I download them and use the "save as image..." menu choice.
Sorry for pulling the trigger on this so quickly, but importing an image using "save as image" led me to believe that Mac OS and iPhoto would tag it as such...it may not...in spite of the fact that iPhoto displays it as an image and recognizes it.
Regards.

Black images when trying to view other user's added photos in iPhoto

Hi all - I've had this problem for ages and really want to get to the bottom of it. We have 1 iMac that has iPhoto '09 with the library in a shared folder so that both myself and my wife can import pictures into the 1 iPhoto library. So... 1 iMac, 2 users, 1 iPhoto library. It works somewhat... but there seems to be a big problem when I open iPhoto (no other user even logged into the computer) and as I browse through the library, many of the photos my wife has imported have thumbnails, but enlarge to black. Same thing in reverse, it seems to have a problem with many of the photos I've imported if my wife logs in and scrolls through the iphoto library. It's not every picture but it is a good chunk of them. The thumbnails are there... and when I log in under my name, I can view all the ones that were "blacked out" when my wife was logged in (and vice versa), so the images aren't gone. How can I repair this once and for all??? I just want a fully functioning iPhoto that both my wife and I can trust.
THANKS!!!

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key 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?

Why have I lost recently added photos from iPhoto?

My wife downloaded some photos of a recent trip to her iPhoto account, which fortunately also automatically saved on her iPad. However, shortly afterwards the photos disappeared from the iPhoto folder (which still showed up in iPhoto with the same folder name but which was greyed out and empty). I then downloaded all the photographs again from her iCloud account into the main photo directory. This morning, trying to create an album of the best photos she found that the directly was yet again greyed out and empty.
Is this a common problem, and how do I get these photographs to remain on the computer hard drive? I believe the iCloud account will only hold them for 30 days so time is pressing.
I am running the latest OS Maverick on an iMac.
Thanks
David

Do you have the iPhoto library iCloud preferences setup as follows on your Mac?

Im adding photos from iPhoto to an iMovie project.

I want them to be the same length for each photo. I follow the directions in the settings button, yet each seem to have an individual time.

i tried your suggestion and i am still having the same problem??

How do I get Photos in iPhoto?

I have added photos to iPhoto 6 program. I then installed Leopard. Now, when I open (or try to open) iPhoto I get blank image areas. They have the same sizes and orientation as photos would have but there are no images. I can't do anything to get the photos. What have I done? I need to get these photos back soon, before my better half tries to view them.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails, then you may have a damaged database file:
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager 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 back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event 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.

Coordinating music and photos in iPhoto videos

I have been having a great deal of trouble coordinating the pictures with the music that I try to add to my iMovie videos. By this I mean that I simply want the song to play to the end. I know that I can keep adding photos from iPhoto until I have enough to support the music, but isn't there a simpler way? This way is overly tedious.
Maybe I misunderstand the instructions/information. Here's what I do.
A.MUSIC SETTINGS in iPhoto
(1) Put checkmark before "Play music during slideshow".
(2) Highlight chosen song
(3) Click CHOOSE
B.SLIDESHOW SETTINGS
There are two choices here, either of which would SEEM to solve my problem, but don't:
(1) Place dot before "Play each slide for a minimum of ___ seconds. The music will repeat for as long as the slides play".
(2) Place dot before "Fit SLIDESHOW to music. Slide durations will be adjusted to make the slides play as long as the music plays
To me, this looks like I can use either option to get the desired result, but it doesn't work like that. To me, it looks like I could just select, say, 100 seconds for item 1, or just "Fit SLIDESHOW to music" as item 2 states. Wrong. Neither way works for me.
I'm talking about one three-minute song with as many pictures as iPhoto requires. Where am I going wrong?

Some rules of thumb:
A minute long slideshow can have a maximum of 60 images - 1 per second, assuming no cross fades.
10 per minute will feel busy
5 per minute will give people time to view the images comfortably.
You know that the iPhoto slideshow is no more than a quick and handy way to do this. Other apps offer more control - and some can even upload directly to YouTube.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Unknown error (-50) when synching photos from iPhoto

Hi all,
I got a new iMac couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine except for the synchronization of photos from iPhoto to my iPhone 4S and my iPad 4.
When I select a folder to sync it works fine. When I select iPhoto as source (all, album, event, face) iTunes shows an error message that the iPad/iPhone could not be synced and the an 'Unknown error occured (-50)'.
I am up to date with iPhoto, iTunes and Mac OS X.
Any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Tobias

I don't want to know anything. You need to tell people that if they follow your advice they lose data - any edits or changes made to photos in iPhoto, any albums, books, slideshows etc they have made, any additional metadata they have added - places, faces, keywords, and, unless you're quite careful exporting, possibly some of the metadata added by your camera too.
The very least you might do is explain the options in the Export dialogue, the implications of the choices made there and how they contrast with drag and drop.
An iPhoto installation is made up of two quite distinct parts - the app and the Library. I know of no issue that has ever required nuking both. As you don't tell us what efforts you made to solve your problem I won't comment futher.

When I export photos to Iphoto slideshow they crop more after each play. Is this common?

When I export photos to IPhoto slideshow they crop more and more after each play. Is this common?

No. In fact, I've never heard of it before.
It might help if you could give us some details. What do you mean by "export photos to iPhoto Slideshow"? DO you mean you're adding photos to a slideshow in iPhoto? Or hat you created a slideshow in iPhoto and exported that to the Finder?

Recently added photos/movies missing after closing iPhoto '09

I have iPhoto '09 (8.1.2 (424) running on an Intel iMac Core (1) Duo with Snow Leopard, all software updates current. Tonight I went to add several photos and movies to my iPhoto library (19,000+ photos). They imported fine. I moved some around with respect to events, fixed some dates, but did no photo edits. Then I closed iPhoto. When I opened it back up, all of the recently added photos were gone. The "Last Import" said "(0)". I found the photos/movies sitting in my iPhoto library in the file structure and could open them up and view them with Preview or Quicktime, respectively. But iPhoto didn't know they were there. I tried to drag and drop them into iPhoto again and it wouldn't let me, saying they are already in the library. I was able to reimport from the original location on my desktop and after closing and re-opening, same thing, no photos in iPhoto but another copy of them in the "iPhoto Library package > Originals > 2011 > ..."
This is repeatable. I can delete the folders I added then reimport and after closing and re-opening, nothing. I've rebuilt the library 2 times using command+option with all options selected except "rebuild from automatic backups." I can drag just one image into iPhoto from the bunch and it disappears to after a close+reopen. I have not yet tried to do a camera-based import. These are files on my desktop.
Lastly, I think this may be a red herring, but I just recovered from a HD crash last week. I got a new HD installed by professionals and did all the new installs to Snow Leopard and restore from my time machine backups myself. Everything looks/works like it did before the crash, except one of the user's (4 of us on this machine) desktop was missing their background pic and had to re-add it. All the other user's desktop pics were fine. This desktop pic was associated with the iphoto library I'm having the problem with. I just realized after talking with my wife that all the pictures she has added since the crash have had the same behaviour and are sitting in the iphoto library package but are not in the iPhoto library "viewer" when iPhoto is open.

The Library database is corrupted.
Best option: restore from back up. Otherwise:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager 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. .
