After 9.5.1 iphoto doesn't save changes in its library

Since I've updated iphoto to v9.5.1, iphoto doesn't save changes made to the library.
When I
- delete event
- import event from aperture
- import pictures
everything goes well until I close and reopen iphoto. Than everything is the same as when I opened iphoto before the changes.
So it doesn't save the changes in its library.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? Or anyone who has a solution?

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. .

After upgrade to Lion, iPhoto will not save events nor save albums after created.

After upgrade to Lion, iPhoto will not save events nor save albums after created. Once iPhoto is shut down and re-launched, albums and events created no longer exist. How can this be fixed?
Also, when attempting to create cards, iPhoto freezes.

Error message: iMovie cannot save changes to the library!?!

iMovie crashed my computer and now I can't creat a new movie.
Here's the full error message:
iMovie cannot save changes to the library.
The hard disk where your library is located may be full or unavailable or permissions may have changed. To avoid losing your work, quit iMovie.
What's up with this? I tried trashing the preferences, but got the same message. I have a 27-inch late 2013 iMac running Mavericks with 445.55 GB free space.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

You've already tried trashing iMovie preferences (By the way think in Mavericks you have to reboot as well after this for the new preferences to take effect) . One other thing to try is creating a new user account, logging in and seeing if you can create a new project in iMovie (of course you won't see your exisitng projects). If you can then iMovie itself is OK. If not then the only other thing I can think of is re-installing iMovie (see http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/How-To-Re-Download-Apps-From-The-Mac-Ap p-Store.htm)
Is everthing else working OK after your computer crash? Maybe you should also run Verify disk in Disk Utility.
Maybe someone-else has some other suggestions (I have not heard of this problem before)?

Iphoto doesn't save my photos a jpg. file anymore, and i have no idea why..

Iphoto usually saves your photos as jpg. as you know
mine no longer does that..
when i look up the pictures in their folders it simply has their title but not the jpg.
format.
This means it's IMPOSSIBLE to upload them to imageshack or other photo hosting sites,
how do i fix it?
Thankyou

I'd guess the files are still jpeg, but the extensions are hidden. Go to the Finder preferences window, click Advanced, and make sure "Show all file extensions" is checked.

Premiere pro / After Effects CS6 upgrade , render doesn't save ?

Hi, I have just upgraded CS5.5 to CS6.
I have opened and converted a previous project in CS6 which is linked to After Effects via the dynamic link. The media opened ok but even though it was fully rendered and saved from the previous version I had to re- render the entire sequence ..l. It's a 4 minute timeline and took over an hour to render in premiere CS6 .
Now I have come back to the project today , I have opened After Effects and then opened the project in premiere pro, all the media is connected but I have a red render line again and another hour to wait for rendering until I can start working.
Any tips on getting the render to save so I don't have to re- render each time I open the project.
Is this a problem with converting older CS5.5 projects in CS6 ?
My system is :
IMac 3.1 Ghz i5
12gb
OS10.7.4
Thanks
Mark

Ok thanks. What about this card?
Amazon.com: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked with ACX Cooler 4 GB GDDR5 256-Bit Dual-Link DVI-I/DVI-D HDMI DP SLI Ready…
It's been recommended before.

IPhoto does not save changes book project

Im working on a big book project and Im really getting ****** at iPhoto. After working on details, changes do not seem to get saved by iPhoto and even deleted when restarting iPhoto.
Examples:
- Replaced photo on an existing page with another photo. Close iPhoto. Open iPhoto. Emty space where I applied the change.
- Edited multiple titles (font size, sometimes content). Close iPhoto. Open iPhoto. All edited titles are gone.
- Add Phoenix on a map. Close iPhoto. Open iPhoto. Text of Phoenix has been replaced by Lorem Ipsum Text. Seriously. What's wrong with Phoenix?
Im running on 10.6.8
iPhoto 9.1.5 (615)
iPhoto-Lib on external HD, pretty short of memory in general.

If you can't repair the damage library you may have to resot to the following:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not preserve the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

IPhoto doesn't see photos in the library

Hope someone can help. The external hard drive holding my iPhoto library accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto. Now, iPhoto does not see any photos in it, even though that library shows up as a choice when I reconnect it. Finder shows there are hundreds of gigabytes of data in the file, so I know the photos are there (I hope). But every time I try to switch to that library, it doesn't show up in the left column like it used to, and iPhoto gives me the message -- to get started, connect a camera or import photos. How do I get iPhoto to see the pictures/files again?? I'm on iPhoto 9.6 with OS X Yosemite on a macbook pro. Thank you!!

Backup your iPhoto library and depress and hold the option and command keys and double click on the library on the EHD - keep the keys down until the first sid window comes up - rebuild your database

IPhoto does not save changes made to picture properly

Hi everyone,
I just started using iPhoto, and that my first problem: when I edit photo information (f.e. change the name of the photo) in the information panel at the iPhoto window left-bottom corner, these changes are accessible via iPhoto only. It means, that if I copy a picture to my friends computer (by dragging it from iPhoto) all this information is not preserved. The same is when I drag picture to desktop (it looses name info) and when i reimport back to library (no new names already). When after changing the name I check iPhoto originals/modified/data foldes, new names are nowhere to be seen (file names are old ones). The same problem is when I send photos with email - attaching photo from library does not preserve the name.
Does this has to do with some settings I am not aware of? Could I change something to solve this problem?

Hi,
Instead of dragging, try using the Share > Export option and under 'Name:' make sure to select 'Use Title'...

IMovie 09 doesn't save changes to iMovie 08 project - Help

After having issues with trying to export my project in iMovie 08 I have just installed iMovie 09 but when I make changes (eg, Use the map of the World to display our travel) and close iMovie 09 down, the changes aren't saved.
Also, I tried to copy and paste the project into a new one and it selects the movies, pictures & transitions but not the audio files. Can this be done? When I try to duplicate the project I get an error saying that I don't have the permissions to do it although I am the author and administrator.
Pls Help.
PS, my first Mac, my first movie project, my first grey hairs.

...because I can't afford Final Cut and I'm not sure there will be other free video editors out there that will be up to par.
This month a brand new version of Final Cut (named Final Cut Pro X) will be released by Apple. It will retail for $US299 and will remain as a fully professional product - but now available at a reasonable price for the prosumer and general user (google final cut pro x).
Your camera definitely should work with iMovie. I viewed a YouTube video earlier today that was shot with the Nikon Coolpix L110 and (clearly) edited in iMovie (not sure if it was '09 or '11). It was this one:

Possibly there is a glitch with iMovie. Try deleting the preference file. Close iMovie, then in Finder locate the file named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist" in your User (Home) folder Library/Preferences. Drag the file to the Desktop. When opened, iMovie will rebuild the .plist file with the default settings which can be changed if desired in iMovie's menu item iMovie>Preferences.
If all works OK, drag the original .plist file to the Trash. The file can become corrupted in some circumstances, such as when iMovie quits unexpectedly or is Force Quit. Deleting the file will not harm existing Events or Projects but may fix iMovie's odd behaviour.
It will be well worth upgrading to iMovie '11 - it has many new and enhanced features and can be purchased from the Mac App Store at a very reasonable price ($AUD17.99)

PS If possible, try your camera with iMovie at an Apple retail outlet. If it works there, then there is something amiss on your Mac. Perhaps try a different User Account on your Mac.

Ipad app doesn't save changes in dropbox or email

I created a fillable form in Acrobat pro and saved it in dropbox for client access. I open the document on my ipad using the adobe reader app. I type in info and have the client sign it, then I re-save in dropbox and email it. When I open up the document it shows none of the saved changes.

You need to view the form in Acrobat or Reader on Macintosh or Windows to view the edited form. It can't be a third party product like Apple Preview or an iOS app.
The other possibility is that when you copied the file to Dropbox, it didn't replace an earlier version of the file that was already there. It might be a good idea to edit the name of the filled in form if you are returning the file via Dropbox.

ITunes 11.2.2 doesn't save changes to song info

I use to buy songs in my iPhone and then sync them via iTunes to my MacBook Air.
After sync my recent purchases to my MacBook Air, in iTunes I change the "Genre" for some songs to have a real ordered collection...
Ex: "Some song title.mp4"
original genre: Pop
new genre: Electronic
but I have found that after buying more songs and sync them with my Mac, iTunes sort of "rolls back" the change I made to Genre info. I mean, I cannot find "Some Song Title" under "Electronic" genre but on "Pop" genre. That's so annoying!!!
For some weird reason when I check the song's info, iTunes shows me that "Some Song Title" has correctly saved the genre, I mean, it shows "Electronic" genre. So, if I just push "Next" button iTunes moves "Some Son Title" back to the genre I specified (in this case, back to "Electronic" genre).
Hope you can ix this bug as this is very annoying to have an unordered collection, or songs under incorrect genres.
Thanks!

Mac Mini doesn't save changes when reboot

Right now my Mac Mini will allow me to install and change settings on the computer. Once I reboot the machine any and all changes I made are gone. How can I turn this feature off so that changes I make will still be there when I reboot?
Thanks very much.

Could you be more specific on what kind of changes you are making? System preferences, desktop pictures, folder views?

IPhoto won't save photos after using crop feature...

Okay, I don't understand if I am doing something wrong or what, but I am trying to crop and iPhoto doesn't save the pics.
This is what I am doing...I open a picture in iPhoto, click the 'crop' button, then drag the borders where I want it to crop, then I click 'done.' The 'saving changes' box with the blue & white progress bar never pops upadn ,it just shoots me back to the thumbnail screen. When I look at the file, nothing has been cropped, and I even reopen the file, and again, nothing cropped.
If I open a picture and use the 'effects' button and make changes, it saves with no problem. It just doesn't want to save any crops.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sportscrazed33:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You have to hit the crop button after selecting the area to crop. If you're cropping to a predetermined ratio that's in the Constrain menu it will automatically select an area to crop that you can then adjust. You don't need to hit the Crop button before selecting the area. Then hit the Done button. It's not intuitive but that's the way it is.
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 (requires Tiger), 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.
