Apple iphoto pictures

i noticed in a lot of apple stores in iphoto, they have these amazing pictures and i want them! i was wondering if you can go to an apple store and email yourself a picture of it to your own account. is there a policy on this or what?

Don't ask at the 'Genius' counter or whatever they are calling it now. Just ask one of the salespeople...as if you were interested in the hardware, and then once you have someone with you, ask about how to download the photos!

Bug: Apple TV is Homesharing all iPhoto pictures

Setup
Mac OS X 10.8.5
iTunes v11.1
iPhoto '11 (v9.4.3)
Apple TV (Model MD199LL/A) has been updated to v6.0 software
Issue is that with iTunes Homesharing turned on and logged into on my Apple TV all my iPhoto pictures show up in Apple TV's "Computer App" even though in iPhoto I set sharing to only specific folders with the password protect. Is there any way to show only specific iPhoto pictures or folders in Apple TV's "Computer App" instead of all?

I'm not able to repeat that myself, it's working as expected here. If you're sure your home sharing settings are only set to select specific content, then you might try re-applying the settings.

Some iPhoto pictures missing after time machine recovery, were there errors reported during backup that I missed?

Hello. I used time machine/time capsule to automatically back up my sytem over the last 3 years and I used the backups to recover my system to a new hard drive when the original drive began to fail. After recovery, I noticed there are missing photos in iPhoto.
I'm curios where I should look to see why they weren't backed up, and why it wasn't obvious to me at the time that they weren't backed up.
Does time machine explicitly call out issues when it can't back up a file or does it just squirrel a message away in the system log?
I'd like to know because I'd like avoid this issue going forward.
Full disclosure & History -
The hard drive on my late 2009 27" iMac was exhibiting issues and started to go bad. No problem I thought, I'll get a new one and recover the system from my time capsule.
The full recovery was initiated from the OS install media. Upon recovery, the system wouldn't boot. After booting from the OS install media and reinstalling the OS on top of the recovered data the system booted and seemed to retain almost everything. This may not be the best way to recover but it seemed to work.
I additionally had to:
repatch the OS
reinstall iWork
relicense MS Office (otherwise office seemed to be intact)
When I started looking through my iPhoto libraries, there were some events with no pictures (mostly the newer events). I couldn't find the pictures on the time capsule either so I'm curios if there was anyway I could have known that backups weren't completing successfully. I had run a time machine incremental backup before pulling out the old hard drive and it seemed to complete successfully so I'm at a loss. I can understand that as the hard drive began to fail, there may have been issues backing up the data, but I somehow missed it if/when the problems were reported.
Should I go through the old system logs that were backed up on the time capsule and look for backupd messages/errors? Going forward, how do I know if there are backup issues?
It took me a couple weeks to realize the drive was failing. I had noticed that the system performance was getting bad, and the system would occassionally hang. It would come back OK after a restart. I thought it was because the filesystem was getting close to full (30GB left on a 1 TB drive) so I was chasing down cleaning up some data to make more room. There were suggestions in other forums to try and keep the filesystem 10% free.
While moving data from the internal drive to a new external drive (to free up space) the system would hang. I eventually found a couple disk0 errors in the kernel log and I actually witnessed disk0 disappear while running an iostat. I'm thinking it took me too long to know the disk was going bad, and so the pictures I imported over the last 3-4 weeks may be gone.
I still have the original drive so I'll see if anything else can be salvaged from it.
Looking for some suggestions on
1) the ability to know if time machine backups are successful and are in sync with my system
2) the ability to know when there are hardware issues that I should be aware of
If you got to this point, thanks for taking the time to read through all this.
Regards,
-mike

Hi Mike,
I just saw this post and saw no one has responded. You might have figured out but in case, I wanted to let you know what I found out. I had the same problem. Hard drive failure, they installed a new one and my iPhoto pictures were missing. I couldn't find them on Time Machine either which baffled (and frustrated) me b/c I just backed up my drive and I was missing pictures from over a year ago.
I found this article and it allowed me to at least find my pictures...so they weren't lost after all.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16029742#16029742
As for why they aren't showing up in iPhoto or Time Machine, the lady at the Mac store said it is probably an OS conflict. Which makes sense since I can see the actual pictures in the iPhoto content file (per the article mentioned above). However, I didn't have my computer with me at the store to have a Genius person help me resolve the conflict.
BUT, if you can find the pictures, then maybe you can reimport them into iPhoto? Just a thought.
Good luck!

Entire iPhoto pictures missing from external hard drive.

Hello, I have already posted this problem but I'm not sure it was clear enough and not getting the response I needed. I had a Jan 2011 white laptop came with snow leopard, and I upgraded to Lion. A good few months ago, my daughter splashed a small amount of water on it, whilst it was turned on and open. I dried off the water I could see, and the mac was still working so I assumed it was ok. (At this time it had a very low battery and was not connected to a power source) Later on in the afternoon, forgetting about the incident, I did the unthinkable and plugged in the power lead. Result: nothing, the laptop would not boot up, I tried a few times, even holding down the power key for extended time but nothing. I eventually gave up and got myself a new macbook 10.9.2 then two days ago, took the old burnt out laptop to a place to get them to remove the hard drive and fit it in a case for me with a usb connection. They done this, I got home and connected the external hard drive off my old mac into my new mac, success I could see it but when I tried launching I photo from the external HD (old lap top) on my new mac. (I didn't realise there would be a software issue which is obvious now)The new mac with mavericks said it could not open iphoto. So I tried searching for the photo files manually on my external hard drive (but there was nothing) The user files were completely empty. It showed hardly any bytes (indicating I had nothing) My itunes files where gone too, and I could find no files I needed that were originally on my old (mac/ now external harddrive) The only items that were intact were the documents in the documents folder and the applications. I took the external hd back to the repair shop and they said they could not find them. They said they would charge me £100 for an attempted recovery of data which I 'm now not sure what to do, as I'm unsure what has happened. I desperately would like to get some of the data back, i;e (some files from desktop and photos) as frustratingly it was not backed up....
My questions are:
1.Would trying to open iphoto, and itunes from my external HD with earlier software in 10.9.2 Mavericks cause me to lose data (including desktop files) ?
2. Could the water damage be the issue for destroying the data? (although other data is still there)
3. Is it likely the files are still on my external hd and I just can't see them (although the low bytes seems to indicate perhaps not)
4. Is there a reliable data recovery program out there someone can recommend I can get and use that may recover the files, and do I download it on my new mac, and direct it to the external hd?
5. Would apeture locate the missing iphoto picture files from the external HD and integrate it into the library on my mavericks?
6. Could the problem be caused by leaving the HD in my old(water damaged) laptop for so long before I tried rescuing it?
Any light on situation much appreciated. Apologies if this issue already been aswered, I did scour but did not see help I needed.
Thanks in advance

Hi T,
Thanks again for reply. Just checked my mac for the first time without the external HD attached. I had a hard time trying to get back into this site on my new mac. Now I keep getting a pop up that says (https:// discussions.apple.com bad gateway) with ok button every every 30 secs or or something after that I can't type except if I click ok. Prior to that I had some message telling me something about proxy server gateway no access or something. Not happenign on other sites so perhaps just a random error, (hope I have now not picked up a bug or another insidious thing from some site whilst trying to resolve my old HD probs....)
Extremely annoying!!
Well I checked as you asked. This is the process.(if you can tell me how to take a screen shot I will do it, but at moment I don't know how to do that exactly)
At the moment I have got my HD showing on my desk top Top RH corner, like they used to in the good old days before it all changed. I do this, because everything is conveniently placed in one place. Call me old fashioned I guess..
(Not to change the thread but this pop up thing is driving me mad...)
If I doubleclick on that by default it opens with five folders in it, I;E applications, library, system, user information, users.
When I click on Users.
It is here I find the user file with a user name that I have NEVER entered into this new mac, (especially with old MAC HD attached as I did not want any confusion) I even re-named my old HD (OLD mac HD)
This new user file even has the icon of a HOUSE instead of a folder, which is something off older OS as far as I know, I never saw it in mavericks before attaching this encased contraption which is just a metal box as far as I see that holds my old HD, but annoyingly done by someone that may not have known what they were doing..
Why the heck is it there? It should not be there!
When I click on this old (home folder) as that is what it used to be, and that was the name of my OLD HD before it got the name (old mac HD) which now I think of it, was not changed by me by default... which is a thought.. I only added the word OLD to it..
Well it has all my default folders such as desk top, docs, movies, pictures ect.. When I click on pictures I have my new iphoto library and another folder called root which has the salvaged files I saved there from the recovery software Stellar Pheonix which I downloaded a couple of days ago but can't actually open with preview anyway. I tried to do it with an old version of CS 5 photoshop to see if that would work, but I could not get photoshop to open in mavericks even after java update)
The interesting thing is is: if I go to system preferences in my dock I click on users it only has the user folders I specified that should be there on my new mac.
now peeved. and this annoying pop up.....Situ does not seem to be getting any better!
Instructions please how to post screenshot..
PS sorry about LONG POST

How can I create cd from IPhoto pictures

Some iphoto pictures not usable as desktop background

I want to set my desktop background as a slideshow of my favourite iPhoto'08 pictures. While experimenting, I've discovered that some of my iPhoto pictures don't seem to work as a desktop background.
Here's what I do (and note that I'm translating from a Swedish version of OSX here):
Right-click on the desktop, choose 'Change desktop background'. In the 'Desktop and Screensaver' dialog, Desktop tab, scroll down the left-hand side list of iPhoto albums (among other things), and select my favourite iPhoto album (Flagged). Wait for the previews to load. Select one of the pictures.
Now, what happens can be one of two things. Either I'll see a slightly bigger preview in the left upper corner of the dialog and I'll see the desktop background change to the picture in question. Or I'll only see the slightly bigger preview in the left upper corner, and the desktop background will turn a boring solid color.
Now, iPhoto itself has no problems with these pictures, and shows them properly. Also, if I use the little + below the left-hand side list to add a folder on the harddrive directly to the list, I can get the broken pictures to show up correctly, as long as I don't go through iPhoto.
So, yeah, that gives me a potential workaround: Export my favourite album now and then, and use the exported folder as background slideshow source. I'd rather have a better solution, where things just work like they're supposed to.
The pattern I've noticed is that iPhoto-modified pictures work fine, non-iPhoto-modified pictures don't seem to work. (That is, if right-clicking on a preview in iPhoto has the menu item 'Show original file' active, the picture will work, if the item is greyed out, the picture won't work.)
A relevant detail in this may be that I've set iPhoto to not copy imported pictures into the library.
Any hints, clues? Now what?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I think this relates to using a Referenced Library:
iPhoto-modified pictures work fine, non-iPhoto-modified pictures don't seem to work.
In other words, iPhoto will share the files it controls (the modifieds are inside the Library Package) and not the ones that it wont.
Simple test: Create a Managed Library (Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library', import a few pics and see if that works as expected.

Missing iPhoto pictures

Hello,
I had to do an Archive & Install of Mac OSX on my MBP Core2 Duo. My photo files are not being read in iPhoto after completing the install. I tried deleting the User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist to try to restore the photos, to no avail.
A new pref file is rebuilt each time iPhoto is launched but the structure of the data file must be damaged. The pictures and their file structure appears to be in tact.
My question is how can I rebuild the database and rescue all the files/pictures from 2003 to current in the iPhoto Library?

My photo files are not being read in iPhoto after completing the install.
What does happen?
how can I rebuild the database
back up your iPhoto library and Launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and the command (apple) keys and use the resulting dialogue to rebuild your library - since You have not described the problem this may not be the answer - although it should not hurt

Iphoto -pictures distorted

I have updated to Tiger and some of my photos are distorted. The photo is an old version that came on my computer 1.1.1 Can you help me out with this product.? Do I need to upgrade? What are chances of loosing all my pictures? Is there any other things I can do to correct this?

The rotated pictures usually occur with portrait photos that come from cameras with the auto rotate feature. I've not see landscape photos do that.
Export those two from the top row to the desktop as full size, max quality jpegs and open them in in Safari. Safari does not read the tag which tells applications how to display the photo. If the photos are OK in Safari then you can import them into iPhoto and use them to replace the original two.
As for the duplicates, I don't know. Here are some fixes you can try:
Backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Click to view full size
Then launch iPhoto and republish the gallery.
I noticed that may of the photos are of low resolution when enlarged. Are you aware of that?

Why Horizontal Lines in IPhoto pictures only?

Just recently began getting horizontal lines in IPhoto pictures only. Does not occur anywhere else when printing with EpsonCX6400. Changed ink cartridges, did a nozzle check, Head Cleaning, & Head Alignment on printer but still get horizontal lines on pictures printed from IPhoto only. Other items printed such as, web pages, emails, etc do not have these horizontal lines. Any suggestions.?

No - contact Apple for a redo and/or refund - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/returns/

Not seeing iphoto pictures in iMovie 05?

Since my computer couldn't handle iLife 06 I unistalled it. I reinstalled my iLife 05 iMovie. Problem now is.... my iPhoto pictures won't appear in my iMovie 05, I'm assuming because the iPhoto is still 06?
Can anyone help me with this? If the answere is to uninstall iPhoto 06.... Can you tell me how?
Thanks, Beth

Lion ScreenSaver re-active hang during read my iPhoto pictures

Hi,
My Lion cannot display password logon during screensaver is reading my iPhoto pictures.
Because I setup my screensaver to random display my iPhoto pictures.
I have an external monitor with my MacBook. Both of my monitors will display iPhoto pictures with screensaver.
Screen hang if i'd like to re-active from screensaver to normal operation mode.
That will be fine if screensaver reads iPhoto pictures and start to display them.
Hang status happen during screensaver still reading iPhoto pictures for 2~3 seconds and before display them.
Please check what's happen with this kind of issue for current Lion OS X 10.7.3
Many thanks

Iphoto pictures all gone

Since getting the latest Mountain Lion and Safari I've been getting a message to choose an iPhoto library and I seem to have chosen the wrong thing and my iPhoto pictures are all gone.

I found my pictures in my Hard Drive All My Files, about 5900 of them. When I tried to import them to iPhoto it imported 2103. They are mostly my saved old eBay pics. I will try your advice later when I have time but I am bewildered as to why Apple does this to us.

IPhoto Pictures corrupt?

Hey there, one day iPhoto is all fine and dandy, the next day all the iPhoto pictures are gone, and i tried to re-open it and put it back into the library, but iPhoto says the files corrupt or something like that. heres the link. http://www.fileupyours.com/files/66183/Picture%201.png

Dear TD,
I actually experienced the same problem as Kevin did, and I tried to "reconstruct" my library but once I select to the task it closes the box and remains plain old empty library... How exactly do I get the photos back into iPhoto?
Thank you so much for your help...
Sincerely,
Shilax
Kevin
What's happening here is that iPhoto cannot open your
Library. Try the following:
Hold down the apple and option keys and Launch
iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild the
Library. Choose all the options.
However, most likely, your pictures are safe in the
iPhoto Library Folder which is found at
Home/Pictures. There you should have three folders
(if you're using v6).
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded
from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you
have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command
- very useful if you don't like the changes you've
made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to
show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.

I am ready to order my iphoto picture book, but I want to change the binding from wirebound to hardcover. Does anyone know how I can do that without losing my already assembled photo pages?

I am ready to order my iphoto picture book, but I want to change the binding from wirebound to hardcover. Does anyone know how I can do that without losing my already-assembled photo pages?

Yes - select the book and duplicate it (Command - D) in case of problems - open it and click change theme and select the theme and the new style of binding
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.
then order after you have carefully checked the preview
